Set one is no slouch, either, with a great, Garcia-led rendition of \"Alabama Getaway\" four months before it appeared on record and a passionate vocal by Bob Weir on \"Looks Like Rain\" leading to a spirited, set-closing \"The Promised Land.\" And throughout it all you'll hear Brent Mydland serving notice in one of his early shows with the band that he is fully up to the task of replacing Keith Godchaux.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this LP reissue, Real Gone Music has given Dick's Picks Vol. 5 the usual Real Gone spit 'n' polish, starting with a fresh mastering job by Jeffrey Norman. Here is Mr. Norman's report: thanks to some technical advances, he was able to even out the bass and remove hundreds of clicks from Jerry Garcia's guitar (thought to be caused by the metal pick that he was using at the time). Add to that lacquer cutting by the Well Made Music team of Clint Holley and Dave Polster and a 180-gram black vinyl pressing at Gotta Groove Records, and you can rest assured that Dick's Picks Vol. 5 is going to deliver the same superlative sonic experience as their other Real Gone Dick's Picks vinyl reissues.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e    Hand-Numbered, Limited Edition - 2,000 Copies\u003cbr\u003e    5LP Box Set\u003cbr\u003e    180g Vinyl\u003cbr\u003e    Remastered for Vinyl from the Original Tapes by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering\u003cbr\u003e    Lacquers Cut by Clint Holley \u0026amp; Dave Polster at Well Made Music\u003cbr\u003e    Pressed at Gotta Groove Records\u003cbr\u003e    9 Sides of Music\u003cbr\u003e    LP Five Side J Is Blank (No Music)\u003cbr\u003e    Box with Lift-Off Lid\u003cbr\u003e    Insert\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelections\u003cbr\u003eLP One\u003cbr\u003eSide A:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e    Cold Rain And Snow\u003cbr\u003e    C.C.
