( GDP ) - GDCD 4044 : ' Original ! ' First ( 1st ! ) Printing !!! : '74 Wall Of Sound !! ' Live ' in the California Bay Area !!! ... Wow !! 1974 Grateful Dead Live ! ... through the One & Only ! " Wall of Sound !!! " - inside the Bay Area !! ... at the Good Ol' Cow Palace !!!!! *** Please Note >>> This is the Very-Rare ! " Original ! " First ( 1st ! ) Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. printing from 2002 ( GDCD 4044 - 1974/2002 GDP, Inc. ) *** The Glorious ! 1974 " Wall of Sound !!! ". Was this the ' Sound-Beast ' that sucked in the Grateful Dead and dragged them down ??! As a Dead Fan myself - I think not - I believe it Amplified their Fantastic Musicianship ! & Sound !! to a pristine-level, like no other band ever !!! However, I've certainly heard & read many tales of how this Monster ! of a sound system dragged them down ( both Band & Crew ! ) due to its sheer square foot size, and financial drain to keep it pumping. To my ear, 1974 is an immaculate period for the Band - and it is easy as an outsider to wonder why a band playing like this would hang it up ( possibly for good ? - yet, so-thankfully ' not ' ) in October of '74 at the Winterland, announcing what would be billed as " The Last One " - thus the last Grateful Dead Concert ever ?? Music & sound wise, this 3/23/74 Cow Palace Show is incredible and offers everything one would expect & hope for in a '74 performance : U.S. Blues - B.T. Wind - Scarlet - China > Rider - Weather Report Suite ( and that's just on CD One ! ) -- CD 2 takes it way-deep and multidimensional ... the Playin' > Uncle John's > Morning Dew > Uncle John's > Playin' is just big stuff - big-time, creative & Legendary ! Musicianship by the Dead. The Wharf Rat > Sugar Magnolia at the end merely ices this cake of bliss. Inside the Liner Notes, Bear does his thing ( like only Bear can-do ... ) offering details, specs, talking-up / promoting & rightfully bragging about the " Wall ". The 3/22/74 San Francisco Chronicle article sums this scene up in a way that almost nobody could do better with a title-article stating " The Dead : Committed to Sound Perfection ". Yes. And that they are indeed. I mean people ... here are just a few brief notes on the " Wall " that I can't help but share with you : Six ( 6 ) Independent Sound Systems ( one each-unique for Vocals, Lead-Guitar, Rhythm-Guitar, Piano, Bass & Drums ) ! --- Eleven ( 11 ) separate Channels ! --- Forty-Eight ( 48 ) Amplifiers ! --- And yes ... Six-Hundred-Forty-One ( 641 ) Speakers !!! Though I'm certain being fortunate enough to play through, or just listen to this System-of-a-System live is pure Joy & Bliss -- but imaging hauling it around, and feeding ( paying-for ) all the fuel in its hungry tank !?! Those of you who saw it, I'm so Amazingly-Happy ! for You ! as that does indeed enshrine you officially as a very-important part of Rock 'n Roll History !! The Music & Concert World will never see anything like this again from a standpoint of size, quality & just blatant genius-dialed audible perfection. Here in the new millennium, wealthy bands like say the Rolling Stones - U2 or even Metallica can try ... but nothing can - or ever will - hold-a-candle to the sound-perfection of the Grate ! " Wall Of Sound !!!!! ".

Without a doubt my favorite Dead Head memorabilia vendor around!!! I Can’t express enough how much this seller puts out the good vibes and really pays attention to detail. Lightning fast shipping all the way to hawaii and was packaged wonderfully! I will be coming back again and telling my friends. He shared some history that I didn’t already know about the shirts I bought which I really appreciated. Very fair pricing and was exactly as described. Listed as brand new. They are indeed brand new!
This seller was the sweetest person I’ve communicated with on this app. Responded quickly, and shipped even faster. The card came wrapped in multiple layers of bubble wrap, tape, and cardboard. Completely protected from the elements and well preserved. Would definitely recommend!
Arrived quickly and on time. The packaging was well done and protected the items shipped. The items were as pictured and described. Very happy with the purchase.
