{"product_id":"grateful-dead-hometown-blues-double-lp","title":"Grateful Dead – Hometown Blues (12-Inch Double-LP)","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis double album captures the Grateful Dead’s concert at the Winterland Arena, in San Francisco, on 22 October 1967, during the Grateful Dead Tour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe show starts off on such a high with a haunting, milky, completely psychedelic \u003cem\u003eMorning Dew\u003c\/em\u003e. Pig’s organ and Jerry’s rounded guitar licks will send shivers up your spine. They might have done this song better in later years, but there is nothing like hearing this elemental version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAfter \u003cem\u003eMorning Dew,\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eNew Potato Caboose\u003c\/em\u003e spills forth with Bobby’s vocals sounding rich and verdant and the boys putting in an incredible ensemble performance. It just transcendentally flows and the entire band is in full-on mind-meld form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eYou don’t think of the Dead in 1967 as tight, but, in their own loose and psychedelic manner, that is exactly what they are. And just as suddenly, the band is in full-on blues mode for \u003cem\u003eIt Hurts Me Too\u003c\/em\u003e with Pig showing himself to be a blues frontman extraordinaire, and just listen to that sweet guitar work from Jerry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eCold Rain and Snow\u003c\/em\u003e comes out next, and it has hints of Sixties pop with a certain effervescence as Jerry pulls a bit of his Dick Dale-like guitar sound that he was wont to do in ’66 and ’67. But there is also a heavier, more acid-laced edge to the tune lurking just below the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThen we get \u003cem\u003eTurn On Your Lovelight\u003c\/em\u003e, which is, musically, every bit as in your face as the monster versions of coming years, but all packed into only twelve minutes. It flat out rocks through the middle portion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eNext, twelve beats brings on \u003cem\u003eBeat It On Down the Line\u003c\/em\u003e, which is as polished as anything the Dead will ever play, sounding readymade for a two-minute hit on the radio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe crowning moment of the show is the first known performance of \u003cem\u003eThat’s It for the Other One\u003c\/em\u003e. It shows just where the Dead were heading over the next two years, into their own brand of psychedelia that would become the basis for the Grateful Dead we all know and love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide One\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eMorning Dew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide Two\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eNew Potato Caboose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eIt Hurts Me Too\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide Three\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eCold Rain and Snow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eTurn On Your Lovelight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide Four\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eBeat It On Down the Line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eThat’s It for the Other One\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl \/ 12” Album\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo of Discs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Parachute\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCatalogue No:\u003c\/strong\u003e PARA546LP\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarcode:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0803341550520\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Parachute","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62527913722243,"sku":"PARA546LP","price":39.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0062\/5521\/4663\/files\/GratefulDeadHometownBluesVinylMockupforShopify.png?v=1788687154","url":"https:\/\/codarecords.co.uk\/products\/grateful-dead-hometown-blues-double-lp","provider":"Coda Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
