History here - from Yesteryear ! Wow ... I mean how time flies - as here today, this " Picture Disc CD " was issued over 35-Years Ago !! The 1975 Studio Album Masterpiece ! by The Grateful Dead !!! This '75 Album release was in essence the " Return ! " of The Grateful Dead !!! This 1975 Album is nothing short of both Amazing ! & Spectacular !! ... and, as I always like to ponder & say - I cannot even Imagine ! what it would have been like in 1975 to actually see one of the only Four ( 4 ) Shows ! the Grateful Dead played - that whole 1975 year ... as the jaws in the crowd must have been on the ground ! Both in surprise, and in sheer amazement too ... Whoa !?! And especially on 8/13/75 at the Great American Music Hall !!! In many-many ways - this brand of G.D. was Far ! different than what they were offered in the past ...very different & Amazing ! This is the Help > Slip ! > Franklin's - Crazy Fingers & Music Never Stopped Era ! Touched in sound & delivery by the Mid-'70's sound & style for certain, but as usual - uniquely trademarked in a Grateful Dead way - that Only ! the Grateful Dead can do ! Now ... keep in mind here - that the Grateful Dead announced it would be taking a ' Hiatus ' right after the October '74 Winterland Shows - and it was really uncertain what exactly the future held for the Good Ol' Grateful Dead ?! Well, they all did their own things - side-projects made main - studio albums - practicing - relaxing, or really - just doing other things ... and, as it turned out - it really was the very-best thing that could have ever happened for every Member in the Band ! Rumors that they were " done " & disbanding - quickly came to a halt ... and they got back into the studio soon, in early '75 - and began working on this here project ... " Blues For Allah " !!! This is indeed the inaugural essence of post-hiatus Grateful Dead, and it is something ! They only toured 1/2 of the year in '76 - but toured it hard ! they definitely did - Wow. And, keep in mind too ... that this Album and subsequent tour were really the ideas that eventually led to Terrapin Station - and Shakedown Street ... and of course - just right around the corner - the Banner ! Grateful Dead year of 1977 !!! Allah !!! One that I definitely ! could not live without - both This !! & 8/13/75 at the Great American !!! So, as far as ' Blues For Allah ' goes ... just one look at the track listing & one listen through ! will indeed tell you why !! ... Help > Slip ! > Franklin's - King Solomon's Marbles I & II - Music Never Stopped - Crazy Fingers - Sage & Spirit - and the Blues For Allah Suite ! And Dead Fans ...
