The song list from 5/25/77 might not reveal much out of the ordinary (though it's great selection of tunes), but the playing is definitely extraordinary. The first set contains outstanding versions of favorites such as "Mississippi Half-Step," "Jack Straw," "Cassidy" and "Lazy Lightning" > "Supplication." And the second set is primo-grade '77 from start to finish. The buoyant "Scarlet Begonias" > "Fire on the Mountain" that kicks things off sets the tone, but then the rest of the set is a deftly played medley starting with "Estimated" and moving into "He's Gone," a primal drum workout from Mickey and Bill, a heart-pounding version of "The Other One" that's split by "Wharf Rat" (the only time those songs were played in that sequence), a joyful "Wheel," and then a double-dose of Chuck Berry to bring it all back to rock 'n' roll basics. Talk about a thrill ride! The three-disc Dave's Picks, Volume One was mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman, includes a colorful booklet with photos and a lively historical essay, and comes in a digipak made of 100% recycled and PCW materials.
