Description
Recorded at Duke University’s Cameron Indoor in spring ’78, Duke ’78 captures the Grateful Dead deep in the Keith and Donna era, loose but laser-focused. Friend of the Devil lopes in that slower ’77–78 groove, every Garcia bend placed with care. Cassidy coils and releases with the tumbling coda the band favored then, and Rhythm Devils rattles the room before the second-set wander takes over.
This 4LP treatment gives the music space and a steadier floor: low end sits deeper and cymbals decay cleanly. You can place Keith’s piano and the twin guitars more easily, and the crowd lift feels natural rather than hyped.
If you’d rather order online, you can buy Grateful Dead records online with us.
File it beside Cornell ’77 in the Dead section to hear how spring ’78 tightens the attack while keeping the exploratory core. Long-form jam fans get the narrative arc front to back, while newer heads will appreciate how the set moves from songs to spaces without losing momentum. The package looks the part too, with artwork that suits the night and a sturdy feel.
Spin it at a late house tidy or a mellow gather; the pace and patience reward the full side. We’ve been spinning our copy after hours in Melbourne and keep finding little pockets of interplay.
Available to buy online with quick delivery Australia wide, or pick it up in our Melbourne record store.
