    As we close out the 2019 Dave Pick's series, we deliver on our promise to give you the "whole thing" with the complete performance from The Spectrum, Philadelphia, PA 3/24/73 and what a show it was! An upstanding "musical eulogy" to the recently departed Pigpen, the Grateful Dead conducted a potent study in contrasts on this bittersweet night. They found easy balance between tidy jams like "They Love Each Other," "Wave That Flag," "Playing In The Band," and introspective moments on "Stella Blue," "Sing Me Back Home," and a poignant "He's Gone." It was all laid down with a discipline and a polish unheard of in any of the truly exceptional shows that had come before it. Yes, you might say, they cleaned up nice to carry on the legacy as Pig would have wanted.

    10/2/72 Springfield MA

    These sound great and fill that 1972 urge.

    Jimbo, I believe you're spot-on about the coolness we would have had with a Winterland '74 box set from that Feb '74 run. I always picture it packaged like the 73 and 77 sets, except in red. And Berkeley - what a set that would have been: couple of Dark Stars, Other Ones, Playing in the Bands, China Riders, Bird songs, Truckins' < etc.

    No.. this is not normal, you should have your Dave's Picks by now..

    Send a message to MaryE, she seems best at helping with issues like this. If you have never sent her a PM, it is difficult to contact her as new PM's are not working at the moment.

    https://www.dead.net/forum/temporary-fix-pm-problem

    The above link shows the best way to reach her until PMs are working again.

    Speaking of PMs, there are a couple people I was trying to contact regarding March 77 Winterland (Nitecat and another).. but I couldn't send them a PM. When PMs are working I will circle back on this and reach out to you.

    Weird little annoying bug.. I wish they would fix it.

    Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays all..

    Daverock and I are kindred spirits

    This is the conclusion I draw every time I read your posts. Maybe it's the fact we're both Daves. :)

    Faulkner's original idea was to publish Sound and the Fury with those different colors. Apparently it would have been prohibitively expensive in 1929, and when they published the one you got your hands on, it was a highly limited edition, something us Deadheads know a thing or two about. I would love to read it anew with those colors, to see if that helps or allows me to get some things I had previously missed.

    I've heard of Opium Eater, but never read it. I'll put it at the top of my list. And maybe fire up some Hawkwind when I read it. Anybody else like to have music on as they read? That's another way jambands and jazz accentuate the experience of reading to me. Unless I start getting too into the music and have to reread a passage or page, but that can be helpful.

    Rock on, fellow Dave!

    ETA: I was provoked into searching for that Folio Society Limited Edition, and that thing goes for more than 30 Trips, Europe '72, or Fillmore West. Saw one for sale for $1600!

    Billy the Kid-Blues

    I didn't know that Little Walter had ever played with Quicksilver. It would be fascinating to hear how it went.
    I didn't see Muddy Waters, live, unfortunately. My first blues concert, as opposed to blues rock concert, was B.B.King around 1980. I couldn't believe how much more powerful B.B was live, compared to the fairly easy going albums he released in the 1970s. He was dynamite live, and I saw him many times after that.

    But I don't think Muddy Waters came to Britain in the 1980s. I do have some great dvds of his concerts. The best features 3 shows from 3 different eras, and the best, by far, is from Newport 1960. During the closing "I Got My Mojo Working", Muddy starts dancing round the stage. Its the most unusual dance I have ever seen in my life! He also plays great guitar on it, and the band is fantastic.

    And Little Walter..where to start. On those 1950s recordings with Muddy, he swoops and glides round the beat like a bird of prey. And the sound he got from his harmonica was phenomenal. Most rock harmonica players sound a bit cheesy to me-they hit the right notes-but the sound isn't always that great. But in Little Walters hands, the harp sounded more like a tenor saxophone-deep and rich. Truly in a class of his own.

    Great books

    Alavarhanso...I fell under William Faulkner's spell too, many years ago. Sound and the Fury is one of the greatest novels I have ever read, and one that I go back to on a regular basis. A couple of years ago, I got a copy that was colour coded, so different parts in the first section are framed in different colours. This links to an enclosed card, so you can identify who is speaking, and what year they are speaking in. This is quite helpful, as the novel travels backwards and forward in time without warning-just like our thoughts-and two of the characters have the same name. There is also a 200 page reference book to go with the novel . Truly, the more you read it, the more is revealed. This is a Folio edition-its not cheap-but its well worth getting if you want to carry one exploring the novel.

    Thinking of drug books, I re-read Thomas De Quincey's "Confessions of and English Opium Eater" last month. Written at the dawn of the 19th century, you could be forgiven for thinking this has no relevance to contemporary drug culture at all. But it does. De Quincey describes taking opium and walking round London, feeling the pulse of the city. In the evening, Hawkwind not having formed yet, he has to make do with going to the opera- but his habit of getting high and then going out to hear music chimes very nicely with the model of drug taking prevalent when I was growing up.
    Incidentally, there are two editions of this book, one published in 1821 and a revised, expanded edition published in 1856. I would definitely go for the first, shorter one. In the second one, De Quincey merely expands on his early, pre opium years going to school, college, finding employment etc etc. The shorter edition includes a briefer account of these years...and then cuts to the chase.

    Thanks for the comments; I was just wondering about it, that's all. I agree that watching Drums live was better than listening to it recorded, but Space, personally the only part I really enjoyed was anticipating what would emerge from it.

    Tales of Meek Ulysses

    Sorry for the weak pun, but didn't expect to check in and see allusions to Moby Dick and Ulysses here, and Leopold Bloom (I first mistakenly named him Leo Bloom, before doing a quick search as I read it in college, and forgot Gene Wilder's character in The Producers is Leo Bloom) only registers in my memory banks as a very meek and mild Odysseus, even George Clooney's Ulysses Everett McGill in O Brother Where Art Thou is a braver Ulysses/Odysseus. I commend Joyce for having introduced stream of consciousness, but I believe William Faulkner to be the master of it. I read Moby Dick in high school and remembered enough of it to skip it when I was assigned it in college and still get an A on a paper on it. (Could not replicate that feat today, unfortunately.)

    If any have not yet dove into the wondrous riches of Faulkner's writing, I would suggest taking a stab at him. Maybe start with As I Lay Dying, which is an easier read for Faulkner, and quite often humorous in its depressing depictions; Jewel's "sleeping spells" being my personal favorite. It still does have one character/narrator who is an autistic/mentally retarded child, so there is still some puzzlement in Vardman's chapters, though it's easy by comparison to Benjy Compson's section of The Sound and the Fury. Or Quentin's section, that's pretty tough in a completely different way. I don't know what draws me to Faulkner more than other writers, but the man cast a spell on me, and though I'm a lifelong Southerner, I do not grapple with the history of the Civil War and its ramifications on the idealized Old South in the way Faulkner and his characters do. Perhaps it's simply the characters, characterizations, and his intense attention to detailing an entire country in Tolkienian fashion long before Tolkien fashioned The Hobbit, then tread upon The Lord of the Rings, and went off on the many tangents and backstories of The Silmarillion. But where Faulkner and Tolkien are both a tough, dense read (excepting The Hobbit and some of Faulkner's short stories and books he wrote for the income), Faulkner's prose shines through. Getting Cliff's Notes to help decipher Faulkner is helpful as well. The Norton Criticals are good, too, if you can find them.

    One place where his influence went where Faulkner would have least expected was with another of my favorite writers and employers of stream of consciousness: Hunter S Thompson. His stream was more of the expanded consciousness variety, but his writing is clear, lucid, and powerful. It's an irony of that era, but most political scientists of the era considered the good doctor's Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72 to be the very best document on the 1972 election. And that's in spite of the fact he accused several presidential contenders, including Nixon, of being drugged or under the influence. He still was the most perceptive and prescient of those following the election bout. He predicted the nominee, though missed the outcome a bit. Though he was probably correct in trying to get McGovern to wear a Dead tshirt during the campaign, arguing he would get a million votes from the sartorial choice. McGovern didn't and he got trounced. It took a while, but snuck in a Dead reference.

SMBH; love that song, Merle’s is great but I think Jer makes it his own and thus takes it to another level.
It’s like watching old yeller, how the hell can you really listen to this, especially after some psychedelic, emotional roller coaster space voyage, and not get choked up. Like Jim said about third person....imagine you’ve spent that kind of time with another human being, no matter what their crime, and so you’re kinda going through all that with the person, truly heavy shit, which is powerful to imagine. I understand some folks might not be comfortable with such heaviness, and yes the guy did a terrible thing, but hey, isn’t that the one thing ALL humans have in comman....we’re all fuckups and do horrible things to each other? So to stand in that persons shoes emotionally for a few minutes is really powerful. To offer that tortured soul that one “kind favor” in spite of what he did, isn’t that also what makes us human, that ability to be em empathetic, to forgive, to occasionally be “truly excellent to each other”?
To me the juxtaposition between all that heaviness with such awesome, powerful, and emotional vocals etc, phew, gives me goosebumps just talking about it! I’ve said before, one of the things that makes the Dead so great is their use of dynamics. The ebb and flow between all that R&R energy and the power, and emotion of the ballads. The ridiculous loudness balanced by the quietness. That to me is it right there, their ability to be so quite that it’s loader, and more powerful than the loudest, most balls out rocker! Perhaps Dew is the best example, though you could through Stella and others in that mix...and the lyrical content, not too many smoochy syrupy sappy crap, real intellectual stuff, real meat and potatoes, shit to make you think! Real thinking, something truly lacking these days...
Also, besides the back story of how prison changed Merle, Johnny Cash Playing there while Merle was there supposedly had a huge influence on him too. I guess sometimes you get shown the light in the strangest of places.....
VINCE; too funny! You know the more I listen to Vince, the more I’m opening up to him. I think a lot of my indifference to him was because of those often cheesy sounds that weren’t his doing but Braloves. That and I’m sorry to offend any aficionados, but I couldn’t stand Way to go Home. One of a few in the late days that I wasn’t a fan of...
But what I meant to say was I was disappointed because when I saw Kids post I was thinking “our” Vince, that’s right folks the one and only Vguy! I’d give up my front row seat in Hell to see a video of OUR Vince playing WPOD! Lol
CASEY JANES; .....and so it begins😉
Well, hopefully I can finally check out 32 tonight, it’s been a very long week and ole uncle Pedro needs to go bye, bye for a few hours and I’m hoping number 32 will do the job!
Hope all y’all have a great weekend!

1969 (Dick's Picks 16 - MONSTER 2nd Set, Dark Star Medley.. if you don't know it, you deserve to. You'll thank yourself later.)

1979 (Cap Center - My good friend's 1st show, 40 years ago. Check out the SUPER slow Stagger Lee, solid Scarlet>Fire, Brent's first Dew, and I believe the only one played in 79... it's def. different, in a good way I think :)

1985 (War Memorial, Rochester - The one I am listening to now... great sounding AUD! Seriously,... if you don't think you like AUDs, check this out! I'll post the link below. Great energy, Jerry in fine form, a little sloppy, very interesting set list, including the rare Brent tune "Baby What You Want Me To Do", a "Revolution" 2nd set opener, and an absolutely GORGEOUS "She Belongs to Me" - If you check out anything from this day in GD history, this "She Belongs to Me" should be first on the list. Why did they drop this song so quickly? - also, anyone else notice that they tended to play good/great shows at the War Memorials? Rochester, Buffalo, and in honor of Veteran's Day, New Haven -- though not technically called War Memorial...)

https://archive.org/details/gd85-11-08.aud-oade.dwonk.22023.sbeok.shnf/…

1987 (Oakland - admittedly, 87 is a year I know little about, but this show certainly looks good on paper, and I listened to yesterday's 87 show, and it was really good. This one has an Iko opener, and a rare Tom Thumbs Blues encore.)

Oh, and there is a Jerry Band from 76 that was released as GarciaLive Vol. 7

Not a lot to choose from, but all choices are solid. And it's a Friday... it's a good day :)

Peace, and have a great weekend everyone!

I have had an email telling me #32 has shipped. No indication of how so I can’t currently try to track it, at the worst it should be with me by early December. I am looking forward to hearing it.

On a separate point. I was a long time subscriber to a UK based magazine fRoots which finally closed down this summer after 40 years writing about folk and roots music from around the world. The editor, for the whole 40 years, Ian A Anderson has been hit by a large cash demand from the banks which after 40 years of dedicated promotion of so many musicians and types of music seem harsh. A GoFundMe has been set up to help pay the debt. If anyone has a spare few dollars they could do worse than assist him. The address is below.

Let’s hope for some more great GD music next year.

Thanks for the observation about SMBH. I just got the pick in the mail so I'm not there yet, but I'm looking forward to the 3rd disc in particular, and I love the context you put the song in. So interesting how bands like the dead and phish can change your perspective on a song you thought you knew just by setting it up in a particular way in the set list.

Yass, yass, yasss twas a fine evening, that turned into my Bday...
Great fun, did the fungal high step in front of the SB, although one of the 2 nights I was front row for the first set?
We basically owned the nearby hotel those 2 nights. Seemed like we knew everyone that was staying there and TPTB left us all alone. Listened to 84 Rochester yesterday at work for the first time.....better than I recall, not a bad show. Unfortunately don’t remember much....maximum veggie overdrive in the front row!
Thanks for the link, that’ll get me through today. Perhaps that 11/8/69 monster tonight, then, finally, 32 tomorrow?
But of course the great 73 box anniversary this weekend also....so much great Dead, so little time!

Oh, to be a teenager again...

Have a great weekend, my man!

From my experience of life, people who are convicted of murder are not necessarily any better or worse than those who aren't. Two people I remember particularly-a woman who killed her abusive partner, and a man who killed someone who had been sleeping with his wife. As I understood it, neither planned it. Drugs, alcohol, anger...I don't condone violent behaviour, but it surely helps to try and understand people rather than condemn them out of hand. By convicting them, the law has already done that.

Reminds of the 28 minute Jam on disc 3 of Dicks Picks 12 (6/28/74 Boston Garden). To me.. it's one big Dark Star hold the vocals.

When I heard the seaside chat language on the long jam into the short Dark Star, I thought.. the Dark Star Jam's in the beginning this time and didn't give it another thought. How many E72 versions are there where they don't start singing until like 20 minutes into it?

Ok.. helavu week here, and I am now freezing my ass off. I think I am going to warm up the headphone amp, hit the hot tub and watch the sun set.. add in freshie listen of The Spectrum, some of Washington's finest and welcome a well deserved start to the weekend.

Hey guys, maybe you should let it go. There are a lot of honest dead heads on this site, that is for sure. Impossible to verify everything. Keep the faith for the good ones, you know who they are.
