Welcome to our first 1974 Dead Drops release from Roanoke, one of only two shows that Keith Godchaux plays a Fender Rhodes electric piano run through a Leslie speaker for the entire show. Listen Here: live.gd/1974-07-27 Recorded By: Kidd Candelario Tape Transfer By: David Glasser Mastered By: David Glasser Master Sample Rate: 24-bit/192 kHz Source Media: 7” Reels @ 7.5 IPS "Listen closely to this crisp recording because Keith's playing completely changes the feel of the music. The Rhodes delivered through the Leslie Speaker swirls, giving the entire show a liquid feel. Bertha, Row Jimmy, and a beautifully played It Must Have Been the Roses all benefit from Keith's work, while Me and Bobby McGee swings effortlessly into a monster 26-minute Playing in the Band. Midway through the night, Phil and Ned step forward before the band eases into a flowing China Cat > Rider. Everyone is Feelin Groovy and the second set keeps delivering with U.S. Blues > Promised Land > Brokedown Palace. Everyone is kicking on the vocals on a killer Not Fade Away > Goin' Down the Road Feeling Bad > Johnny B. Goode to end this totally unique show. A truly special show and only Play Dead’s one-of-a-kind sound. Enjoy!" - Martin Knott #PlayDead #GratefulDead #GDVault
