(2021) Grateful Dead – Dave’s Picks Volume 37 : College of William & Mary, Williamsburg, VA 4/15/78
Review:
…Gentle mistresses and most distinguished gentlemen, we have come upon the release of the Dave’s Picks Volume 37, from the 15 of April in the year 1978, at ye olde College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. Cast your waistcoats and your bonnets aside, the Grateful Dead are on steady gallop from the opening high-kick of “Mississippi Half-Step” into a where are we going? where have we been? “Passenger,” followed by full-on versions of “Friend of the Devil,” “El Paso,” “Brown-Eyed Women,” and a double-barreled “Let It Grow>Deal.” Catch your breath and straighten out your tricorne because the 2nd set shows no bounds with delightful takes (“Bertha>Good Lovin’,” “One More Saturday Night”) and introspection (“Candyman,” “Playing in the Band”). Then – great fifes and drums – it’s 15 minutes of “Rhythm Devils,” with band and crew gathered round to amplify the merriment before delivering a rare incantation of “Not Fade Away>Morning Dew” that sets the soul alight.
