GRATEFUL DEAD To Terrapin: Hartford '77 (2009 UK 21-track 3-CD set - Presenting the entire show, mastered from the original soundboard tapes, 'To Terrapin: Harford '77' revisits that glorious spring evening in New England, and showcases several live versions of ambitious works from 'Terrapin Station' that would become beloved staples of the Grateful Dead's repertoire. The first of these was 'Estimated Prophet', Bob Weir & John Barlow's portrait of a particularly Californian breed of delusional would-be visionary, which managed to be at once uplifting and disturbing, thanks to the incantory lyric and to Weir's ingenious musical setting, a sinuous Reggae-flavoured groove knocked beautifully off-kilter by a 7/4 time signature. The second major new piece, which would take up the entire second side of the LP, was utterly unlike anything the Dead had attempted before: the epic, allegorical 'Terrapin Station' suite - as felicitous a marriage of music and storytelling as was ever accomplished by Jerry Garcia & Robert Hunter in the course of their long and fruitful collaboration. Comes complete with a 16-page picture booklet containing rare photos taken at the actual concert.)
