Description: Grateful Dead : Dave's Picks 11 Volume Eleven : Century II Convention Hall - Wichita, Kansas ( KS ) : November 17, 1972 ( 11/17/1972 ) : 3 CD : 2014 (1972/2014) Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. / Rhino ( GDP / Rhino ) - R2 541135 : Featuring " Wizard Of Oz ! " Cover Art !! - Gary Houston Art Design !!! Dave's Picks 11 = A Historical Snap-Shot ( Black & White - & Color ! ) of The Good Ol' '72 Grateful Dead !! simply Barnstorming !!! Wichita, Kansas ! ... just like the Twister ! - on the Cover !!! ... " The Wizard Of Oz " !!!!! Dead Fans who just love ... that '72 Good Ol' Grateful Dead ! Well, let me tell 'ya -- " We're Not In Kansas Anymore "... is now Out The Door ! With this superb 11/17/72 Wichita, Kansas Show ... because the Grateful Dead ! are in town - and wowie ... do they make this night Count ! Barnstorming Wichita - just like the ' Twister ' on the Cover !! So, I hear propose the ' Big ' question for all .. .. .. Do you think they played Jack Straw ? Hah !!! Chuck-Berry style chops straight out of the gate as the Promised Land burner heats up, and it's On ! Plus, you probably need a little Heat! considering this is a just about Thanksgiving-time Show in Kansas ! No, but seriously ... you can tell right-away that they are Fluid ! ... & ' Comfy ' in a way where there is a little bit of extra " Umph " on every vocal sung & note played - that little extra attention to detail ... in All ! sections of the stage - Strings, Percussion, Keys ... and Vocals across the board ! Through the 1st 1/2 Dozen songs of the 1st set ( Promised - Sugaree - Uncle - Tennessee Jed - B.T. Wind ... Bird Song ! ), they get hot - and start rolling ' down ' hill in a way-good-way, in an unstoppable - we can do anything way on this night ! Plus, check your ' Era ' here G.D. wise ... as this is a house crowd that have just experienced the " Europe '72 " Album released ! ... Freshly !! Can't think of a better album to kind of ' Tour ' than that one - and especially during this G.D. Golden Era ! By the time Bird Song arrives, everyone ( Band & Crowd ! ) is just settled into the ' Special ' Zone - knowing that anything great could happen ... simply because they are On ! ... all is smooth, and it's All-Systems-Go !! Bird Song has something mighty-special in '72, and this one is no exception ... a noteworthy version, to be quite frank about it. Then, it's Box of Rain time ! ... Ha !! - totally just kidding, as that one is next ... you betcha ... " Jack Straw from Wichita !!!!! " And, ahhhhhh yeah ... they drill this one Real-Good ! Lots of treble pop & warmth from stage-right, as this is a Garcia Fender-Strat Drill-Down ! Or, a Fall '72 Clinic ... if I may. The Band's confidence & lack of loose-ends really anywhere fills up this Century II Convention Hall ... clearly, and everywhere ! It is so incredibly apparent, that this is a Band that completely Delivered !! on their Europe '72 Tour - and they know that they hit it hard, and dropped-jaws all over the ' other ' side of the world ... as they really begin to play like they can tackle anything possible in this show, any number, any timing-count - you name it ... just by easily ! making it their own. When the tempos change from tune to tune, it's almost like collective-gears of a car - or, something like that. Machine-like in tightness, but they are in complete control of when, how & where they attack each & every tune. Plus, this is still a good year-plus ! before the Band got a little weighed-down by the " Wall of Sound " ... and a hiatus was shortly due. Not at All ! tired here, and if so - it doesn't show ... as the amps & instruments are pretty much at their mercy. Though I am generally ( self-admittedly ! ) a real proponent of Garcia using effects, distortion, and heavy-distortion ... there is a clear & clean ' twang ' to this Strat-Attack, that almost allows the clarity & short-point resonations ( shorter-sustains ! ) themselves that build the jams ! And, we're talking about all-tempo jams too. It's like this, unlike any other Guitar there is ( well, at least all the ones I've personally played ... naturally. ) - there is no other guitar made that can " tell you where to go - next ! " like a Strat can ! ... at least in my opinion. Sure, they've got their limitations indeed, but ... that's not one of them. Phil, Garcia & B.K. get off into some 3-way Cat & Mouse here that Rock ! Insane pattern & tempo weaves that make you want to jump right in ! Dang, and who said it was cold in Wichita ! in November of '72, because it sure sounds Hot ! to me. Heck, ' looking ' at the set list, much less listening tells you this Show has a Good ! chance, to be one of ' Those '. Jack Straw follows Bird Song ! ... B.I.O.D.T.L. yields to B.E. Women ! ... Big River cooks ! in the 12-spot, but ... don't let it fool ya' -- because China > Rider is Next ! Casey Jones & Cumberland back-to-back ... and Garcia just Howls - like any Grate ! Casey Jones should be Hollered-Out !! Then after He's Gone ... it's no holds-barred, and no-prisoners taken ! in Wichita, Kansas ! ... as Dead Fan is left Gratefully-Dead ! >>> He's Gone > Truckin' > Other One ! > Brokedown > Sugar Mag ! Then, naturally ... the " Checkmark ! " of an Encore - with a Beauty ! of an Uncle John's Band !! ... with a cooker of a Johnny B. Goode to send them home ' sat-is-fied ' !!! I really should note too ... because it can't be forgotten at this 11/17/72 Show -- Phil delivers a Magical ! Box of Rain ! ... studio-like in its perfection, but with a little bit of ' extra ' on that low-end ! ... and on the high too !! ... Yeah Phil ! -- go & get'em !!! And ... if that's not enough -- here's the real ' Hidden-Gem ' on this Dave's Picks 11 ... a Five ( 5 ) Song Smoker ! of a segment from the 11/15/1972 Oklahoma City Show !!! Down & Dirty Set II material - with Attack ! ... as only the Wharf Rat allows any time for the OK City Dead Fans to gasp for air ! Just check this ... Playin' > Wharf Rat > Not Fade Away ! > G.D.T.R.F.B. > N.F.A. !!!!! Pounding, and Perfect ! I mean if you love your '72 G.D. Golden Era stuff ... this one is a Must ! -- right on the heels of Spring '73, and you can feel that direction for certain - that things are most definitely heading. The Band is just such a "" Band "" during this very-special period & era. An Excellent ! ... and most surprising release too. Wow ... so I guess both ! Montana & Kansas get check-marks now -- and Who ?!? would have ever thought ?! Oh ! ... and also -- just check out the packaging on this one, as it's a little on the Wild-Side ! ... " The Wizard Of Oz !!! " of course, but with a little bit of Black & White - versus Color ! snap-shots here to 11/17/72 ... an extra-special Case & Liner Notes for an extra-special '72 G.D. Show !!! There are actually many ! improvements from the Europe '72 unit here ... through & through musically, but - you've got to give it a solid listen ! This one really made me Smile !, and I'll betcha it will do you the same ... well, you know - You & the Skeleton-Scarecrow !!! Wichita '72 !!! Enjoy !!!!!!!
