" - with ' Dave's Picks 2015 Bonus Disc CD !! ' Included !!! ... Wow !!!!! Dead Fans !!!!?! ... now, how about it - and what do you-say ! More Delicious !! Spring Tour '72 Live-Dead at the Academy of Music in New York City !!! Wow. I don't know what your reaction was, when you 1st caught the word on this one ... that it would indeed be a Reality ! But, for me ? I spun out of my chair ( literally ! ) ... and put both-hands straight up-in-the-air !! Started clappin' and then let out one of those WaaaaHooooosss !!! I mean you can hear me here, right ? Right-on ... for certain. I mean, let's put it this way ... in 2004, in the near-final days of the 36-Installments of the Dick's Picks Series ... Volume 30 delivered a beyond-Smoker !!! -- known simply as ' Dick's Picks Volume 30 ' !! ... which, naturally - was Four ( 4 ) Discs of Academy of Music N.Y.C. Spring Tour '72 Magic !!!! And ... that-one came in the form of two Huge-chunks of March '72 Goodness ! --- March 25 & 28, 1972 ( 3/25/1972 & 3/28/1972 ) - 4-CD's with CD 1 actually featuring 5-Tracks with Bo Diddley himself ! That set starts out so unique & different that most Dead Fans just kinda sit there thinking ... Wow ?!?, this is Really~Hot ?!!!! And, soon after the Bo Diddley live-action, it's all Pure-Bred Grateful Dead !!! Which means, Pigpen ! giving just about all that he had left in the tank - to the Fans !!! At least in my opinion, Pigpen truly defines the definition of a Rock & Roll ' Professional ' in this period & era. He's not feeling himself as we all well know, but even the finest-tuned Fan ' Ear ' - can hardly really even tell ! Seriously impressive ... Bob, Phil & the Masterful ! Drums Time-keeping ... just Perfecto ! -- and, completely consistent too, fluid & tight ! Totally air-tight ... And, as far as Garcia goes ... just trademarking & attacking! that Colorsound Wah !!! A guitar-playing Clinic ! - for any guitar-player ... who believes wholeheartedly in timing, tempo ... & most-of-all - Fat-Tone !!! Wow ..... So, my point here being - this was the 3/25/72 & 3/28/72 action that most all have been Loving ! for over a decade now. And then too ( in 2004 ), the ultra rare Academy Of Music ' Bonus Disc CD ' even added more March '72, when it was distributed with the 2004 release of the " Rockin' The Rhein " 3-CD Set ! The Bonus Disc delivers 5-tracks from the 3/22/1972 Show ! - and then too ... also the Dark Star ! from 3/23/1972 Show !!! So ... you can really see just exactly where I'm headed here with this " Dave's Picks 14 " Set ... Yes ! We've all gotten both tastes & heavy-duty installments as well of 3/22/1972 - 3/23/1972 - 3/25/1972 - 3/28/1972 from both Dick's Picks 30 & the Academy of Music ' Bonus Disc ' combined ... and now ! here you will gratefully have More ! from 3/21/1972 - 3/26/1972 - 3/27/1972 !!!!! Dave's Picks 14 offers 3-CD's ! of the 3/26/1972 Show !!! And, the ' Dave's Picks 2015 ' Subscription-Only " Bonus Disc " CD here included delivers 8-Tracks from 3/21/1972 & 3/27/1972 !!!!! 4-Tracks from 3/27/72 ( 1st ), followed-immediately by 4-Tracks from 3/21/72 !!! So, essentially ... this 4-CD Set is really the ' Matching ' Must-Have ! Set to complete your Dead Fan Thirst ! for Academy Of Music March 1972 Live G.D. Action ! It's almost like releasing an Essential ! part of a 2-part box set, like 1/2 of it !?! -- over a Decade later !! But hey, we're real patient Deadheads ... right ? No, but with all seriousness ... as if you have Dick's Picks 30 ( 4-CD ) & the Academy Of Music Bonus Disc CD ( 1-CD ) -- by adding this ' Complete ' 4-CD Dave's Picks Bonus-Disc Set ... You ! will now have Nine ( 9 ) ' Total ' CD's of the March '72 Grateful Dead run at the Academy of Music !!! Just Such ! a Legendary run too, considering that it was indeed this G.D. Energy & overall Confidence-Vibe that was taken overseas for the April & May 1972 Europe '72 Tour !!!!! Seriously-important G.D. stuff & History ! here, to say the very least. Wow ..... the 3/26/72 Playin' ! -- the 3/26/72 Truckin' > Drums > Other One > Uncle > Other One !!! -- the 3/26/72 NFA > GDTRFB > NFA !! -- the 3/21/72 Truckin' > Drums > Other One > Wharf Rat -- the 3/27/72 Cumberland Blues ! -- and ..... the 3/27/72 China > Rider !!!!! Clearly, and without any-question ... this here is one of the " of Pinnacle-Importance ! " releases in this now up to Fourteen ( 14 ) Volumes " Dave's Picks " Series. I must say, I was always pretty realistic - in thinking that there might be no more pro-released action from this ' Academy '72 ' run ... but, so-Thankfully ! -- I was completely wrong !!! My goodness, as there really is no argument - that this Spring > Summer 1972 period & era is one of the Finest ! all-time periods of the Good Ol' Grateful Dead !!! Simply Stellar !! through & through ... & Through ! Ha ! What a release ... Enjoy !!!!!!!!
