Cover Art !! One of " The ! " Grateful Dead Shows that Needed ! to be pro-released ... 2/24/74 Winterland !!! ... and now - It Has Been !!! Finally ... So-Thankful ! & Grateful !! We Are ... Yes !!! February '74 ! Live-Dead !! at the San Francisco Winterland Arena !!!!! Dead Fans !?!! When you wish upon a ( Dark ! ) Star !! ... sometimes it-does come True !!! Wow ... and as for this Dead Fan here - this was a darn-near Necessary ! Pre-Hiatus ( 1974 ) release that just had-to be ' unleashed ' from that so-very precious G.D. Vault ! And now, it has Been !! Finally !!! Wow ... I mean I'm not sure what to even say here about this Historically-Significant ! & Amazing !! 2/24/74 G.D. Show - that hasn't already been said by someone ( or heard ! ) - at least at some point, over the last ... 50-Years !?!! As the Music at this '74 Dead Show - does way-more then indeed speak for itself ! The China > Rider - Playin' - Cumberland - Weather Report Suite > Row Jimmy ! - Sugar Mag > NFA > GDTRFB > NFA ... and last but most-definitely not least -- the Dark Star !!! > Dew !!! are All ! noteworthy versions that are truly ' up-there ' in the best of the best conversations in all of Grateful Dead History ! So ... if you haven't ever heard this Show ? Wow, as by all means - do-you-ever Need To !! So, as all of that speaks for itself ( completely ... ), this is what I can say about this 2/24/74 Show - in regard to the audio-quality - and the accessibility standpoint - from the history of the G.D. ' Taping ' & ' Trading ' years. This was a Show that was widely-accessible in the 1980's - and likely prior to that too - and, the sound quality was always just not quite there - on so-many of the versions that I personally encountered. Point being - once you could lasso this Show in the B+ / A- S.Q. range - you pretty much just considered yourself lucky - and would need to swiftly move on. I know myself - because I spent years & years trading around for this one - though all of my go-to G.D. sources, and more ... and - it was like almost knowing that you would be soon headed back to square-one ! But then, in the Mid-'90's ?! ... this All !! changed - and for, the Very-Best ! As this 2/24/74 Show was one of the widely trading & extremely-accessible Pre-Hiatus G.D. Shows from the origin of the " DAT " Era !!! I mean let me put it this way ... I got my hands on an Completely-Amazing !!! version of this Show - Complete ! on 300 DAT tape - right around 1996 / 1997 as I very clearly remember - and from that point on ... It was On !!! In fact, I even at one point ' transferred ' this DAT version to Analog ! - just, so I could listen to it through a Nak ! I mean hey, I could use the JBL's either way - but this was a good recipe to undergo ... transferring Digital - to Analog ! And then sure, all of your Dead Fan Friends would make fun of you, since DAT was so-cool - in it's state of the art era. But ... this seriously worked Perfect ! for me. And Frankly, this Show is so ' Worthy ' of it's place in Time & Dead History ... that you just can't have too many copies of it. And, here 2015 rolls around ... and Blammo !!! - Digitally-Remastered in Pristine fashion - and completely-Stellar ! all across the board. It does sound different though ( much ) - in the channel separations, levels, mix, etc. to the point that I still ! won't be parting with my DAT > Analogs ! But, just to be able to actually ' Buy ' this 2/24/74 Show with ease ? I mean I don't know what else to say here ... so, I'll just say it like this -- " Heaven Sent G.D. !!! ". Ha ! See, basically what the Band - and the powers that be are saying to you here is ... You ! Need !! to listen-to - and ' Own ' this Magical ! Early-'74 chunk of Good Ol' Grateful Dead !!! And, as you'll see & hear - there are Tons & Tons ! of reasons for-this. But, really ... here is - the " Big-One " --- Dark Star !!!!! > Dew !!!!!!! Wow ... so, just remember to strap-on that Cosmic Seatbelt ! in your music-listening easy chair - so you're not ' immediately ' taken Straight ! to the Moon !! ( before the arrival of Disc 3 !!! ). And, hey too - come to think of it ... you might seriously want to strap-on those Ice Skates too !!?! Might As Well, right ?! Ha !! What a Cover ! From the One & Only ... Winterland Arena !!! Enjoy !!!!!
