    Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye! Gentle mistresses and most distinguished gentlemen, we have come upon the release of the DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 37, from the Fifteenth of April in the year Nineteen Seventy-Eight, at ye olde College Of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. Cast your waistcoats and your bonnets aside, the Grateful Dead are on steady gallop from the opening high-kick of "Mississippi Half-Step" into a where are we going? where have we been? "Passenger," followed by full-on versions of "Friend Of The Devil," "El Paso," "Brown-Eyed Women," and a double-barreled "Let It Grow>Deal." Catch your breath and straighten out your tricorne because the 2nd set shows no bounds with delightful takes ("Bertha>Good Lovin'," "One More Saturday Night") and introspection ("Candyman," "Playing In The Band"). Then - great fifes and drums - it's 15 minutes of "Rhythm Devils," with band and crew gathered round to amplify the merriment before delivering a rare incantation of "Not Fade Away>Morning Dew" that sets the soul alight. Pure jollification!

    Anniversary show. 3/19/77

    44 years ago today, I was sitting up in the balcony at Winterland watching the Dead put on a great show. Big fun! Could these 3 shows be the upcoming box set? We shall see.

    I'll say it again

    The shows/experience and the tapes are two different worlds. And there are worlds within the tapes.

    I caught 'only' about 75 shows, 1972-1992, and stopped going after '87 (3 nights at Rocks, 2 days in Telluride in one week), as I'd been intensely onboard for 15 years, from age 15 to age 30. I caught some big shows:
    Sept '72 (1)
    Summer '73 (6)
    '76-79 (a shit ton)
    every single Rocks show they played

    At least (3) Red Rocks shows actually sucked, based on the high standards set by the band elsewhere (Jersey City '72, RFK '73, Watkins soundcheck, fall '73 Nassau Coliseum (upcoming DP), Capitol Theater '76 & '77, Boston Music Hall '77, Englishtown '77, Rocks '78 & '79, '80s).

    That said, the "average" GD show tended to be a real good time. The best shows changed my life. The worst shows = the price of admission to higher planes sometimes costs more than you originally were willing to pay...

    Then there are the tapes. Some shows that might have seemed a little tame in person become these perfectly executed sets on tape. Or the wildly exuberant performances become the slightly off-the-hook tapes. Or some tapes can be explored repeatedly and reveal new things -- impossible in the moment you're experiencing them in concert.

    Quite the enigma wrapped in a tortilla within a fortune cookie and still amazing after all these years. Now a solid 50 years for me. Sort of a "What in hell just happened" spread over a 20 year period for me. Then another 30 years with the tapes. (Although we had obtained tapes when the band was still in pre-hiatus phase.)

    Okay, ready for the Box News!

    Had to use that title. Probably my favorite jazz players.
    Oro: Don't think it was '03 The Dead on The Rocks. That was my last Dead related show. 25th anniversary of my first show and Phil brought up that subject saying,"How many of you were here 25 years ago?", and a huge number said YEAH!! Then he follows with one of his cornier comments, "Whoah, your grandparents must have all our albums!". Wait, we were almost grandparents by then ourselves. It was nice and warm that night, but I guess it could have been cold the next night if there were two shows. It is Colorado. We all carry an extra layer every day of the year. That was the Jimmy Herring version of The Dead. I'm an ABB fan too and LOVED it. Every song had those jazzy intros where you have lots of time to guess what song it is, then they change key and you've guessed wrong. Seems like D. & Co. still do a lot of that. Loved how Jimmy added the ABB sound to so many Dead classics. Shades of when Warren Haynes first played with ABB (also a Red Rocks show for me, maybe '90?) and I got chills hearing Duane speak through Warren's guitar. Oh yeah, we got a Mason's Children that night too! Bonus! Cheers all!

    DMCVT: sounds idyllic!...cool band, nice vibe..

    PF: 😁 unfortunately I have to use the skip button more and more as years go by on certain songs,...but, then sometimes, still get shown that light...

    NAPPY 😁

    VGUY: NICE! Congrats on the twofer! Any side affects?

    HF: congratulations! Lol

    DOC/Augusta: wasn’t at Augusta, but those were exactly the kind of places we were looking for to freak freely as years blew by and the scene got crazy. Partially why we stopped going as much. Instead of those places they were doing huge blocks at the same big venues in the same big nasty cities etc...

    DENNIS: I think the breaks/timing, and even the set list of 7/4/86 was influenced by the Farm Aid live time slot they had to work with. But yeah it was nice, they played CR&S as it started raining, but the big synchronicity/psychedelic moment I recall was during Fire just as JG was peaking out, aaaaa, and so were we lol, all of a sudden the clouds parted just enough for this little shaft of sunshine to shine on him as if it was a follow spot. Can’t tell so much on the video, but I recall that one fondly, like WHOOOAAAA, “how do they do that” lol.
    Saw many of those over the years, enough to not be just coincidence, though one of my favorites, or the one I remember most lol, was the big storm at 3/30/95. I still think they some what staged it. Yeah there was obviously a big storm, but I recall them kinda waiting around on stage and Robbie Taylor was on the radio, and they were sorta looking out at the top/back of the stadium, so I’m thinking with the weather station they had at outdoor shows, they saw the front coming rapidly, so sent someone out front with a radio and told Robbie when that sucker was just about to hit the stadium and then as if on cue by the gods themselves “Raaaaiiiinn, I feel fine”...pretty fuggin cool!
    Didn’t have the pleasure of seeing the GD at Red Rocks but saw several Dead, Furthur etc shows there, and yeah, that place always has cool weather moments. HF, what was the one, I’m guessing the Dead around 03, 04, where it got all misty (like you could barely see and the lights were awesome etc) and pretty cold and the band rose above the diversity as only they could do! Perhaps some trippy Beatles and/or a that Miles tune they were doing? Maybe it was Phil and friends? Definetly a top weather show for this kid Whatever, cool place that awesome stuff happened at frequently. .

    a question I have always wanted to ask any band member...how did they keep their composure during the REALLY intense shows?

    There have been and are and will be times when things are so intense that I crawl out of my skin. They are making things happen...how do they keep it together?

    Maine out of season is unmistakably a great destination.....

    October 12, 1984, Augusta Maine

    Way down east. Excellent psychedelics. Maybe 20-30 feet back, dead center. No sardine effect, room to breathe and move around.

    OMG how did the Dead do that? We didn't think the Dead were capable of playing like that any more. Second life-changing Dead show (first was Providence in 1974).

    We spent the next 10+ years chasing Augusta. We never caught up to it again.........

    How do WE do that, the band asked itself.

    Early '80s at Red Rocks, we're up maybe 20 rows with a full view of Denver as a storm descends on downtown, not us.

    Big flash of lightning in the distance while the band jammed away, oblivious. Crowd collectively, audibly, goes oooooh!

Thanks, THAT MIKE! Yes, very much agreed. I owned many of his albums on CD, but the CDs have long since deteriorated and my mp3 backup copies were mostly lost in computer crashes. Live 1990 is great, love hearing his Box of Rain in particular.

Other magical moments that come to mind, but certainly not all of them:

Tiger Rose - "Cruel White Water" and "Yellow Moon" (not to be confused with the Neville Brothers tune, which is also great)
Liberty - personally I dig "The Song Goes On," full of references to Krazy Kat & Ignatz, a great old comic strip, and "Come and Get It"
Rock Columbia - IMO every track on this album is stellar. "Eva," "Aim at the Heart," "What'll You Raise," and "Who , Baby, Who?" are probably my favorites from this batch but like I said they're all great.

Curious choice? I like every show on this tour, but some I have no memory of - and 5/3 is one of those. The Dark Star from 5/4 came out on vinyl on few years ago, so it makes a companion piece.

I never got many Robert Hunter albums, so I would welcome a reissue programme for them. I used to play Tales of the Great Rum Runners a lot in the vinyl days, and I had one called Liberty on vinyl too. Apart from those, and Armagellan Street on cd thats it.

April 7th, 1972, Wembley Empire Pool, London, England. Ah, my favorite part of the year. The kickoff date for the anniversary of the E72 tour. Every year I set out to listen to each show on it's anniversary date....and every year I go off the rails around Hamburg or Paris. Well, I got it down the first year since acquiring all the shows...

Some of the best banter ever on this tour:

Bobby: "Begging your indulgence, we're going to play on with another tune that's uh.......What the fuck are we doing?"

Jerry: "What indeed...."

Or there's Jerry when the acid kicked in: " look that guy's got a trailer!"

Good stuff. Great kick-off with Greatest Story Ever Told. Possibly my favorite of the tour. I really like done is half-scream on the "cool clear water well you can't ever tell" verse. Sometimes you got it once in the song sometimes twice. On this one you got it twice.

I really like the 8 minute part two of The Other One into Wharf Rat. I consider these this tour's 5 Wharf Rats my favorites ever. Dig Donna, but prefer Wharf Rat pre-hiatus when she doesn't sing on it.

Frisbee?
Yes

4-5 people on each side spread across a big grass area, tossing 4-5 frisbees at the same time. The trick is to get all the frisbees on one side, then throw them all at the same time at one person.

50 years ago today…..

April 8, 1971
Boston Music Hall, Boston, Massachusetts

Set 1: Truckin'-Bertha-Next Time You See Me-Playing In The Band-Loser-Beat It On Down The Line-Second That Emotion-Sugar Magnolia-China Cat Sunflower>I Know You Rider-Casey Jones

Set 2: Dark Star>St. Stephen>Not Fade Away>Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad>Not Fade Away-Sing Me Back Home-Cumberland Blues-Greatest Story Ever Told>Johnny B. Goode

Encore: Good Lovin'

O, thou art fairer than the evening air clad in the beauty of a thousand stars……

Here the Dead treat the faithful in Boston to a fine, and in historical hindsight, very underrated show. Both sets start high. Mix with minimal amounts of grease and absolutely no country-Weir-and-western, throw in some Garcia-soul, rock and roll, and jamming and voila!!! Quirky April 1971 gooey goodness!!!

Interesting and unusual positioning of both the Dark Star and the Good Lovin’. And, pray tell, where did Second That Emotion come from?

Please, my friends, check it out!! You won’t regret it!!

Rock on!

Nobody can beat Dock Ellis for sports accomplishments while dosed. Pitching a perfect game is one for the books. How he even saw home plate 60’+ away still amazes...
“Ellis D”, indeed.

That Doc Ellis feat is one to behold. I watched a documentary on that incident a few years back and was blown away. I could see how he could've honed in on home plate to atomic proportions given his headspace. That accomplishment is definitely one for The Books.

KeithFan, always awesome to be on the receiving end of your giddy Europe '72 shout outs; you provide the timbers to fuel that fire in my head and I go seeking the gems that haven't had ears on them in some time.

This goes for Doc, too, the '71 offerings are a continued treat. I've realized I need to check out today's droppage too.

Be Well People!

In another lifetime, in a galaxy far far away, certain individuals were known to indulge in a little “magic coffee” before skiing. (The recipe for magic coffee: take one thermos of coffee, add 1-2 purple microdots, shake vigorously. Serves 2-4.) Benefits of magic coffee included increased energy and improved ability to “trust your body.” Side effects included pink or purple snow and uncontrollable giggling.

As a side note, I only ever played music twice while, uh, feeling cosmic. The first time, I felt like Jimi Hendrix. All I had to do was think a musical thought, and the notes went flying effortlessly out into the universe as I, a mere spectator, stood in slack jawed wonder at the spectacularly cool shit coming outta my amp. The second time, I couldn’t get in tune, my hands felt like oven mitts, couldn’t remember any of the songs, and couldn’t wait for it to be over. So there was no third time. (Yet.)

Mary Jane; (the ski area added to Winter Park, not the herb) First chair to last chair of the day. At least 23 runs as I recall. Couldn't conceive of eating on the lunch break. Needlepoint mescaline gave incredible focus and boundless energy. My only experience with that. Moguls on long skis with 6" of fresh. Great fun with the Park St. crew. Cheers mates!

Saw your call out - always nice to hear from you man. I hope it's all good in Sixstusville.

Vguy - you spoke what I've often wondered - how on earth they kept it together tripping onstage. I also wonder how they procured while overseas during E72 tour. I guess that was Cutler's job.

Dead Storm Britain! 4/8/72. Lotta energy from Jerry on this one. Lots of fills between chords and solos. I guess I would say it's aggressive playing in general. Aggressive for Jerry anyway. He's always working on this one. I noticed it in Bertha a while back, and I've always dug some cool stuff he does in this Good Lovin'. Yesterday's run through made me realize he's doing it in just about every song. Tennessee Jed - smokin' solo.

Bobby: "We're going to start this set off once again just like last night with a song that rose straight to the top of charts in Turlock, California. This was number one, Numero Uno...."

Jerry (laughing): "That's just like you did last night man!"

50 years ago today……

April 10, 1971
Mayser Gymnasium, Franklin and Marshall College, Lancaster Pennsylvania

Set 1: Casey Jones-Me And Bobby McGee-Next Time You See Me-Loser-Beat It On Down The Line-Hard To Handle-Bertha-Playing In The Band-Deal-Good Lovin'

Set 2: Truckin'-Sing Me Back Home-Me And My Uncle-China Cat Sunflower>I Know You Rider-Cumberland Blues-Sugar Magnolia-Midnight Hour-Uncle John’s Band

If there must be “standard” or (heaven forbid, lol) “average” April 1971 shows, let it be like this.

For many, this show “suffers” for lack of a big jam. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, can’t we all just enjoy some well played rock and roll Dead? As previously, both sets start high, the grease and country/western is back, you get a rare Good Lovin’ to close the first set, and a rarer still Midnight Hour. What’s not to like---or even love---about all that???

Unknown, unheralded, gathering only the faintest of whispers from 1971 aficionados, lost in the glare of what came after, yet still worth a listen!!

Rock on!!!

Doc
Sometimes there is no darker place than our thoughts, the moonless midnight of the mind

An interesting set list, Doc, and as always, you provide a great synopsis. I’ve had the NRPS in rotation lately, so this set list (with the “country/Weir” as you like to say) compliments that nicely.

The Grateful Dead could play concerts high on LSD because they practiced high on LSD.

I seem to remember reading that Jerry once said that one of the pleasures of playing the acid tests was having the freedom not to play if he didn't feel like it. Maybe after 1966 they took lower doses to avoid feeling they had to play music when they felt too high to do so. Pure conjecture, of course.

I've searched high and low for a soundboard of this one. Not so much because I need another 1977 show, but I've been wanting a good copy of the last remaining Help / Slip / Franklin from 1977. They only played it seven times that year, and the Slipknots were really really good.

I, too, have not been able to find quality recordings of these shows, except for the Download Series #1 from 4/30. And that's a good one. I recall not seeing any tapers at my first show on 5/1, although there is a mid quality recording out there, probably from the balcony. My guess is that taping was verboten for this run. Somebody mentioned a wish for a Palladium Box not too long ago...YES PLEASE!

Right on. That's my primary motivation for finding it as well. Blues For Allah was my first Dead album, and remains my favorite studio recording. Any performance of H>S>F that I can lay hands and ears on, I will. That's why I was stoked when 9/28/75 made official release. Thanks again for that one, btw.

I have a fairly good copy I downloaded years ago (over15) from the archive. Not sure of it's origins since I didn't make any notes on who remastered it. I do know that I most of my downloads were CM remasters, also If you look Charlie was on a roll remastering that
run

Was reading about searches for 4/29/77.

SBD does not currently circulate.
That being said, DL has played a number of tracks on Taper's Section in addition to the 3 tracks released on Download Series as follows:

Set 1 - Taper's Section tracks:
1. Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
2. New Minglewood Blues
3. Cassidy

Set 2 - Taper's Section tracks:
1. Samson & Delilah, Sugaree > El Paso, Brown Eyed Women
2. Scarlet Begonias > GDTRFB (Download Series Volume 1 Filler)
3. Drums > The Wheel > Wharf Rat > Around n Around, Uncle John's Band

Them there are the SBD tracks I've been able to track down.
LMK if anybody has any of the other missing tracks.
You've got 5 songs missing from end of Set 1 and Estimated & Drums missing from Set 2.
There's an audience tape that includes those tracks in circulation.

Hope that helps somebody find some music they want to hear :)

50 years ago today…..

April 12, 1971
Civic Arena, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Set 1: Cold Rain And Snow-Me And My Uncle-Bertha-Next Time You See Me-Playing In The Band-Loser-Cumberland Blues-Hard To Handle-Greatest Story Ever Told>Johnny B. Goode

Set 2: Truckin'>drums>The Other One>Wharf Rat-Me And Bobby McGee-Casey Jones-Sugar Magnolia-Deal-Not Fade Away>Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad>Turn On Your Love Light

A very solid show that one rarely, if ever, hears about. Why is that? Because it was Pittsburgh?

Truth be told, the folks in the steel city got a real treat and seriously good show that night. Hard rockin’ mix of rock & roll, grease, and Bobby. Big jam to open the second set and a Lovelight in the classic show-closing position.
Underrated and worthy of your consideration!

I have turned lots of people on to this show, no complaints so far!!

Rock on!

Doc
Be grateful for luck. Pay the thunder no mind - listen to the birds. And don't hate nobody….

For better and worse, some drugs seem to transform people into more extreme versions of what they already are.
