Special Collections and Archives, University Library, University of California, Santa Cruz Biography Dick Latvala (1943 – 1999) was the first Vault Archivist for the Grateful Dead. He graduated from San Francisco State University and attended shows at the Fillmore Auditorium, the Avalon Ballroom, and other San Francisco venues in the 1960s, including famous events such as the Trips Festival in January 1966 and the Great Human Be-In in January 1967. He began taping shows in 1971 from radio broadcasts and began collecting and trading concert tapes in 1974, amassing an impressive collection that he thoroughly documented in notebooks and correspondence. He became a friend of the band and the crew, and was hired by the band in 1985 to organize their tape collection. As the first Vault Archivist, he was instrumental in the archival recordings released by the band; the series Dick's Picks is named in his honor, and was continued by his successor David Lemieux for a total of 36 releases. Scope and Contents This collection documents the tape collecting and archival release work of Dick Latvala, the Grateful Dead's first Vault Archivist. The papers comprise his notebook entires, documenting his impressions of live performance tapes, and his later research on what shows would be good cadidates for commercial release. His personal collection of reel-to-reel tapes, a series in the collection, is an indication of the range of recordings that the first generation of Deadhead tape collectors could amass. Subjects and Indexing Terms Latvala, Dick, 1943-1999 Grateful Dead (Musical group) Notebooks Note Latvala kept these entries in four binders and seems to have ceased actively making records circa 1983. Early entries are well documented, often with succeeding impressions entered when a tape was replaced with a better quality one. By 1982, entries are often limited to song lists only, with little to no annotation, although the entries for 1983 are somewhat more frequent, and most with greater detail. box 1, folder 1 1968-1969 Entries box 1, folder 2 1970 Entries box 1, folder 3 1971 Entries box 1, folder 4 1972 Entries Guide to the Dick Latvala papers MS.333 2 MS.333 Notebooks box 1, folder 5 1973 Entries box 1, folder 6 1974 Entries box 1, folder 7 1975 Entries box 1, folder 8 1976 Entries box 1, folder 9 1977, February - June Entries box 1, folder 10 1977, September - December Entries box 1, folder 11 1978, January - May Entries box 1, folder 12 1978, June - December Entries box 1, folder 13 1979, April - September Entries box 1, folder 12 1979, October - December Entries box 1, folder 13 1980, January - June Entries box 1, folder 14 1980, August - December Entries box 1, folder 15 1981, February - May Entries box 1, folder 16 1981, July - December Entries box 1, folder 17 1982, February - July box 1, folder 18 1982, August - December box 1, folder 19 1983 Entries Papers box 2-14 Dead.Net, Dead.Net Central box 15 Dead.Net, Dead.Net Central: shelf lists, notebooks 1978-1979, Dick's Picks files box 16 Dick's Picks binders box 17 Vox Pop box 18-21 Dead Net Central & other topics binders box 65 Miscellaneous files Recordings box 22-59 7-inch reels 10.5-inch reels box 60 Winterland, 10/22/1967 (2); Unknown, 1968 (2); Carousel Ballroom, 2/14/1968; Avalon Ballroom, 10/12/1968, 1/26/1969 (2) box 61 Avalon Ballroom, 1/26/1969, 4/5/1969 (2), 4/6/1969, Winterland 1/1/1979 (2) box 62 Fillmore East 4/29/1971 (2); Jackson, MI 12/19/1978; Frost 5/11/1986; HJK 2/11/1986; Telluride, CO 8/15-16/1987; Red Rocks, CO 8/13/1987 box 64 Providence, RI 9/9/1987; Madison Square Garden 9/11/1987, 9/17-18/1987; Philadelphia Spetrum 9/22-24/1987, 9/11/1988 Realia box 66-67 Reel-to-reel tape recorder and accessories Guide to the Dick Latvala papers MS.333 3 MS.333.

  • Introduction in Their Thirty Years Together, the Grateful Dead Forever
    Introduction In their thirty years together, the Grateful Dead forever altered the way in which popular music is performed, recorded, heard, marketed, and shared. Founding members Jerry Garcia, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh, Ron “Pigpen” McKernan, and Bob Weir took the name Grateful Dead in 1965, after incarnations as Mother McCree’s Uptown Jug Champions and The Warlocks. Despite significant changes in the band’s lineup, including the addition of Mickey Hart and the death of Ron McKernan, the band played together until Jerry Garcia’s death in 1995. From the beginning, the Grateful Dead distinguished themselves by their preference for live performance, musical and business creativity, and an unprecedented dedication to their fans. Working musicians rather than rock stars, the Dead developed a distinctive sound while performing as latter-day American troubadours, bringing audio precision to their live performances and the spontaneity of live performances to their studio work. Side-stepping the established rules of the recording industry, the Dead took control of the production and distribution of their music. With a similar business savvy, they introduced strategic marketing innovations that strengthened the bond with their fans. This exhibition, the first extensive presentation of materials from the Grateful Dead Archive housed at the University of California, Santa Cruz, testifies to the enduring impact of the Grateful Dead and provides a glimpse into the social upheavals and awakenings of the late twentieth century—a transformative period that profoundly shaped our present cultural landscape. Amalie R. Rothschild, Fillmore East Marquee, December 1969. Courtesy Amalie R. Rothschild Beginnings The Grateful Dead began their musical journey in the San Francisco Bay Area at a pivotal time in American history, when the sensibilities of the Beat generation coincided with the spirit of the burgeoning hippie movement.

    Robert Knight was a kid from Palolo¯ when he fell for British rock— and his passion led to some of the best photography in rock ‘n’ roll 98 99 o understand just how resourceful and adventurous Robert Knight is, you have to cast your mind back to a time before the web connected everyone and everything, a time when there was far more mystery in the world. Information was random and scarce, and one’s whole life direction could be determined by a chance finding. Knight was 16 and exploring in Waikïkï one day in 1965 when he came across some music “Being a photographer of rock concerts magazines left behind by British tourists.

  • MUSIC 351: Psychedelic Rock of the 1960S Spring 2015, T 7:00–9:40 P.M., ENS-280
    MUSIC 351: Psychedelic Rock of the 1960s Spring 2015, T 7:00–9:40 p.m., ENS-280 Instructor: Eric Smigel ([email protected]) M-235, office hours: Mondays & Tuesdays, 3:00–4:00 p.m. This is a lecture class that surveys psychedelic rock music and culture of the 1960s. Psychedelic music played an important role in the development of rock music as a predominant art form during one of the most formative decades in American history. Emerging along with the powerful counterculture of hippies in the mid-1960s, psychedelic rock reflects key elements of the “Love Generation,” including the peace movement, the sexual revolution, the pervasive use of recreational drugs (especially marijuana and LSD), and the growing awareness of Eastern philosophy. The main centers of countercultural activity—the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco and the London Underground—drew a high volume of media exposure, resulting in the famous “Summer of Love” and culminating in popular music festivals in Monterey, Woodstock, and Altamont. Students in this course will examine the music and lyrics of a selection of representative songs by The Grateful Dead, The Jefferson Airplane, Big Brother and the Holding Company, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, and other bands closely associated with the burgeoning psychedelic scene. Students will also consult primary source material—including interviews with several of the musicians, influential literature of the period, and essays by key figures of the movement—in order to gain insight into the social, political,

Far Out aims to create a conversation among its visitors, asking them to question whether counterculture still exists today, with the inclusion of a collection of a 21st century re-emergence of transcendence through the arts. Far Out will be a safe space for people to gather, reflect, and communicate about the impact issues in society have on individuals and groups of people, all while considering the movements of the past. The psychedelic movement started in San Francisco, and quickly found its way to Davis as evident by the UC Davis Domes. Although the domes were established in 1972, they still exist today, keeping alive the spirit of escapism at the school, and making Far Out a relevant exhibit for the community. i 1 FAR OUT Manetti Shrem Museum of Art Exhibition Overview Shannen Hulley & Melissa Lager Exhibition Brief & Outline 16 March 2017 heme hiition utine A display of art created during and inspired by the late 1960s-70s Psychedelic and counterculture movements, including the extension aroun nformation of escapism into the 21st century through art.

  • 1967: a Year in the Life of the Beatles
    1967: A Year In The Life Of The Beatles History, Subjectivity, Music Linda Engebråten Masteroppgave ved Institutt for Musikkvitenskap UNIVERSITETET I OSLO November 2010 Acknowledgements First, I would like to express my gratitude towards my supervisor Stan Hawkins for all his knowledge, support, enthusiasm, and his constructive feedback for my project. We have had many rewarding discussions but we have also shared a few laughs about that special music and time I have been working on. I would also like to thank my fellow master students for both useful academically discussions as much as the more silly music jokes and casual conversations. Many thanks also to Joel F. Glazier and Nancy Cameron for helping me with my English. I thank John, Paul, George, and Ringo for all their great music and for perhaps being the main reason I begun having such a big interest and passion for music, and without whom I may not have pursued a career in a musical direction at all. Many thanks and all my loving to Joakim Krane Bech for all the support and for being so patient with me during the course of this process. Finally, I would like to thank my closest ones: my wonderful and supportive family who have never stopped believing in me. This thesis is dedicated to my grandparents. There are places I'll remember All my life though some have changed. Some forever not for better Some have gone and some remain. All these places have their moments With lovers and friends I still can recall. Some are dead and some are living, In my life I've loved them all.
