( 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 !!!!!
