Ramble On Rose<br /> <br /> <br /> [b]By Anthony G Pizza<br /> <br /> The Grateful Dead have not been well served by label compilations. <br /> Their windblown, exhilirating, rootless roots rock hardly contains itself on the band's relatively few studio releases, <br /> let alone stands slicing into radio-friendly pieces. <br /> This is why every Deadhead gathers his personal best-of from hundreds of worldwide concerts trapped on tapes.<br /> <br /> Warner's 1977's &quot;What A Long Strange Trip It's Been&quot; covers the group's 1967-72 period as well as expected being neither <br /> fish nor fowl. The 2 CD set (adding up to just over 86 minutes), compiled with the band and well-remastered by Joe Gastwirt, <br /> balances the disparate studio/live faces of this legendary American phenomenon. <br /> It misses several FM hits (&quot;Skeletons From The Closet&quot; is your first stop other than the original <br /> LPs for &quot;Sugar Magnolia,&quot; &quot;Friend Of The Devil,&quot; etc., although &quot;Truckin'&quot; repeats here) but balances the Dead's <br /> first five years' studio and live releases.<br /> <br /> What &quot;Strange Trip&quot; does best is refocus attention on the band's first, most creative years: the band, still young; <br /> the studio, still suitable laboratory; the following, still new and gaining for music as for the social experience; <br /> the goal, to grow a body of original work rather than expand on familiar music and memories. <br /> Indeed, only Elvis Presley among American rockers drew so easily from as many influences as the Dead did in the years <br /> covered here.<br /> <br /> The consistently strong Jerry Garcia-Robert Hunter compositions (among them the concert staples &quot;Ripple,&quot; &quot;Tennessee Jed,&quot; <br /> and a truncated &quot;Dark Star&quot;) merge the dusty, dry strength of Jimmy Rodgers, (train imagery shows up throughout <br /> the selections, even without &quot;Casey Jones&quot;) Robert Johnson (listen again to the intro of &quot;Cosmic Charlie&quot;), Bill Monroe, <br /> Buddy Holly and the South-Southwest's musical/lyrical imagery. Add Bob Weir's Bakersfield vocals on &quot;Me and Me Uncle&quot; <br /> and &quot;Playing In The Band,&quot; the late &quot;Pigpen&quot; McKernan's bluesy voice and keyboard on &quot;Ramble On Rose&quot; <br /> and the early &quot;New, New Minglewood Blues,&quot; and Phil Lesh's solid bass throughout (Gastwirt's remastering recasts him as <br /> the star of &quot;Truckin'&quot;). <br /> You get a sound and style not so much created as organically harvested, then psychedelically frosted.<br /> <br /> Whether this set serves as time capsule or accessible musical portal depends on where and how far new fans retrace <br /> their long, strange trip. <br /> The road is easiest back to 1970's beloved &quot;American Beauty&quot; and &quot;Workingman's Dead&quot; (four songs from that LP are <br /> featured here) or on to 1973's elegant &quot;Wake Of The Flood&quot; or &quot;Mars Hotel.&quot; <br /> Either way, &quot;What A Long Strange Trip It's Been&quot; provides a meatier, incomplete but still recommended musical supplement <br /> for casual or new fans. <br /> <br />
