Reckoning
The Grateful Dead
1981, Arista Records and Tapes
One of the most difficult
things to do, I think, is to review
an album by a group such as
The Grateful Dead. For years, I
have been an avid follower of
the Dead, concert after concert,
living and breathing their music.
It may be that I am slightly
biased. But I still have my likes
and dislikes when it comes to
their newest recordings.
Go To Heaven and Sha
kedown Street didn’t excite me
at all. It seemed as if the Dead
had lost the studio recording
“touch,” and the magic lyrics.
With the latest Dead record,
Reckoning, I have had some of
my listening joy restored.
Reckoning is a live acoustic
double album recorded from
shows in the Warfield Theater,
San Francisco, and Radio City
Music Hall, New York, 1980. It

consists of familiar “dead
tunes” and previously un
released material.
“Dire Wolf,” “It Must Have
Been The Roses," “Dark Hol
low,” “China Doll,” “Been All
Around This World,” "Cassidy,”
“To Lay Me Down," “Bird
Song," and "Ripple" are all on
earlier albums. With the excep
tion of “Dark Hollow" and
“Been All Around This World,”
the older album versions are all
electric. Hearing them done
acoustically is a new and pleas
ing experience.
Lead guitarist Jerry Garcia’s
vocals are still as acceptable as
ever and still blend with rhythm
guitarist Bob Weir’s voice in a
unique, strangely melodic way.
Keyboardist Brent Mydland’s
back-up vocals are worthless,
but that may come from still
hearing ex-group member Don
na Godchaux’s backup vocals
in my head. Phil Lesh's bass
playing is barely discernible and
Bill Kreutzmann’s and Mickey
Hart’s drumming are limited.
Nevertheless, it is good to hear
these old songs done again and
again.
Among the new material is
“The Race Is On," by Don Rol
lins. Weir does vocals in this
tune with chorus harmonies
sung by Garcia. It is fairly fast
moving and has a dancing beat.
“Oh Babe It Ain’t No Lie" is a
light blues tune by Elizabeth
Cotten. Garcia’s vocals are soft
and low and almost hard to
hear. They enhance the mellow,
bluesy mood of the song. Myd
land’s piano is gentle and not
overpowering. This song could
almost be a lullabye.
As Weir says on the album,
“The Monkey And The Engin
eer” is a song about “narrowly
averted tragedy." I have heard
this song before on early
“deadtapes,” and am glad to
hear it updated. It is not, how
ever, an overly exciting tune.

on the first record, is a tradi
tional ballad done in the past by
Joan Baez, if not others. Gar
cia’s vocals sound a little
strained, but loving "dead
heads” are used to this and it
has never destroyed the mas
tery of the music.
Another traditional tune,
"Deep Elem Blues,” has been
played by the Dead before at
earlier concerts. There is a par
ticularly fine version on the Fill
more East tape, 1970. On the
new album, the song does not
sound quite bluesy enough, and
Mydland’s back-up vocals are
fortunately unintelligible.
“Rosalie McFall,” a Charlie
Monroe tune, is done fast and
efficiently by the Dead and has
also been featured on earlier
tours.
The last of the new material is
another traditional song entitled
“On The Road Again.” It has a
pleasing beat to it. The lyrics are
hard to make out, but the Dead
members were never big on en
unciation.
I would say that Reckoning is
a good buy for those who are
not saturated with the Dead. For
those of us who are, the new
material makes the album worth
listening to.
There are many of us who
think that there is nothing better
than the Dead’s old stuff, and
this is true, but it is not 1968 and
we must have open minds. It is
enough for me that the Dead
have not yet passed into history.

Yes, fair readers, it is raining
once again Not so much cats and
dogs, but definitely those wet howls
we all hear in the night and dread in
the morn But, as a fine,
up-standing citizen once told me on
the Carson Hall steps between the
fourth and fifth floors: Ahh, that’s
what keeps it so green " "Right,' I
said grimacing Dreams of cement
blocks ran through my mind as I
sloshed along Pre s Trail two years
ago in the hail
Returning to this rainy day two
years later, (though, the weather
report only said, "rain through
Thursday”) you may notice a
"change of face" for the ol’ TW:
that’s right, ya’ know, turning over a
new (soggy) leaf
Finally, just let me dribble a drop
of information in your ear: Thursday
Revue stuff needs to be in my staff

it Sin?) and crew. — Erzsi
