NotesDick's Picks Vol. 8-Harpur College, Binghamton, NY May 2, 1970 (3-CD Set) - If there were a college course taught on Grateful Dead bootlegs (and if there isn t one, there should be!), the concert preserved on Dick s Picks Vol. 8 would occupy a prominent place on the syllabus. That s because this evening at tiny Harpur College in upstate New York was for years probably the most highly touted and sought-after single show on the tapers circuit (Jerry Garcia himself later singled it out as a memorable performance); and it appears here, complete save for one song, on this 3-CD set. The first disc offers one of the most beguiling acoustic sets the Dead ever performed, full of gems (Dire Wolf, Black Peter, Uncle John s Band) from the already-recorded-but-not-yet-released Workingman s Dead, plus a passel of old folk and blues tunes highlighted by a beautiful, slow-burning version of I Know You Rider; it s doubtful the band ever harmonized as beautifully as they do here, and the off-the-cuff atmosphere is simply charming. Discs two and three present the (very) electric Dead at their most probing, with a healthy dollop of greasy soul n blues served up by Pigpen; highlighted by Garcia s guitar and Phil Lesh s bass spiraling ever upward in a lengthy solo section, the version of The Other One in the 40-minute medley that opens the second set is unsurpassed, and the third set s Viola Lee Blues sports not one, not two, but three mind-warping crescendos, while their version of the rarely-performed James Brown tune It s a Man s World is as gritty and gutbucket as the band got. The closing We Bid You Goodnight is twice as long as usual because the delirious crowd wouldn t let them go out of print for years and a must for any self-respecting Dead library.

The CD arrived on time and in excellent condition. It is an awesome CD as well.
The CD arrived on time and in excellent condition. It is an awesome CD as well. I love the acoustic opening set because it kind of reminds me of the acoustic live album, Reckoning only about 10 years earlier. The electric sets are awesome as well! Just an all around great album and the audio quality is also fantastic!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
