(2022) Grateful Dead - Dave’s Picks vol. 42: Winterland, San Francisco, CA 1974  


Review:
Dave’s Picks Volume 42 contains the complete concert recorded on February 23, 1974 at the Winterland Arena in San Francisco. February 23, 1974 was the second show of a three-night stand at Winterland in the band’s hometown. The final night of the run was previously released in 2015 as Dave’s Picks Volume 13. Each installment is picked by Grateful Dead archivist David Lemieux. Highlights included on Dave’s Picks Volume 42 include a stellar run of “He’s Gone” into “Truckin’” into “Drums” into “The Other One” as well as the inspired “Eyes of the World” that follows, a “Weather Report Suite” and what would turn out to be the final “Here Comes Sunshine” until 1992. The bonus disc features live debuts of “U.S. Blues,” “It Must Have Been the Roses” and “Ship of Fools” from February 22, 1974 as well as a +20-minute “Playing in the Band” and more.
