    18,000 happy Dead Heads could not be wrong. Deer Creek, my how you deliver.

    We're closing the books on DAVE'S PICKS 2021 with not one but two - nearly - complete shows from Noblesville, IN 7/18/90 & 7/19/90. Yes, we've packed it all on four CDs, save for that second night encore which we promise you'll get to hear in the very near future. Sometimes there really is just too much good stuff.

    For now, we'll invite you to cozy up with two exceptional back-to-back shows, shows with precision and clarity, shows with more than a lion's share of exploratory jams, and most importantly, shows that were simply a damn good time for all. Highlights from night one include the bookends of a spectacular "Help>Slip!>Franklin's" and an epically intricate "Morning Dew" followed by a classic cover of "The Weight." Night two, is the sleeper hit, with flawless playing from start to finish, the set list inviting you to find new favorites in top-notch renditions of "Foolish Heart" or "Victim Or The Crime," and if that's not one of the finest versions of "Desolation Row" Bobby ever did do! We would be remiss if we didn't mention that these shows were among Brent's last and they are some of his finest of the era at that.

    Limited to 25,000 numbered copies, DAVE’S PICKS VOL. 40: DEER CREEK MUSIC CENTER, NOBLESVILLE, IN 7/18 & 19/90 was recorded by Dan Healy and has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman.

    Ha..

    Yep. Top Pocket Find (in my best British accent).

    As for the Scorsese movie, I am keeping an open mind but agree.. it could go sideways. Hopefully they pull it off.

    This came up in another thread or earlier on, so to keep you from scrolling back to try to find it. Here is the recap, includes rumored casting decisions:
    __________________

    - Iggy Pop to play Pole Guy from Sunshine Daydream
    - Sam Kinison to play Donna
    - Jack Black to play Pigpen
    - Daisy Duke's pants to play Bobby's Short Shorts from the 80's. (from the Original Dukes of Hazard, not the Jessica Simpson remake)
    - Rocket the racoon from Guardians of the Galaxy to play Bobby's beard.

    Jonah as Jerry?

    So, in today’s edition of “Is this a real news story or something from The Onion?” I see it’s been announced that Jonah Hill is going to portray Jerry Garcia in a new biopic to be directed by Martin Scorsese.

    Assuming it’s true, I suppose it could be good. Scorsese has directed some of my favorite films and Hill’s not a bad actor. But man, there are a lot of ways this can go sideways. Can you imagine trying to cram an accurate representation of Jerry’s life into a 2-3 hour movie? Trying to recreate the Acid Tests on film? I hope they got a really good screenwriter.

    In other news: my credit card took a beating this morning, as tickets for the TTB at Red Rocks went on sale. No sooner had I secured the ducats (further back than I’d like, but not too bad) than I got a message from Real Gone saying there were selling a limited edition vinyl version DiP 19, which I felt obliged to order. (Still kicking myself for not grabbing their vinyl of DiP 36 when I could, so I had to pull the trigger on this one.) I owe, I owe, so off to work I go … but at least I’ll have some good music.

I'll admit that I'm always late to the party, but has someone already asked why the set lists aren't listed above in the usual manner? I've looked them up of course courtesy of Mr. Google, but I prefer to be able to quickly jump to the lists on this site when someone here mentions a specific song or sequence of songs.

So is it one complete show and most of the other night or Two incomplete shows? They mention its almost complete. So what do you leave off?
Subscription offer for 2022 should be soon.

This is 10 minutes down the road from where i live. I regularly go past the gates but have never been the other side. If Jiminmd pops over my way I'm sure Olivia could be 'persuaded' to sell up

50 years ago today…..

October 22, 1971
Auditorium Theater, Chicago, Illinois

Set 1: Bertha-Me and My Uncle-Tennessee Jed-Jack Straw-Loser-Playing in the Band-Sugaree-Beat It On Down the Line-Black Peter-Mexicali Blues-Cold Rain and Snow-Me and Bobby McGee-Comes a Time-One More Saturday Night

Set 2: Ramble On Rose-Cumberland Blues-That's It for the Other One>Deal-Sugar Magnolia-Casey Jones-Johnny B. Goode

Deadicated to Gainesville, leedesj, drpryan, andoverdeadhead, estimated-eyes, fourwindsblow, Thin, JeffSmith, DeadVikes, and Mr. Ones, because why not?

As writers and readers, as sinners and citizens, our realism and our aesthetic sense make us wary of crediting the positive note……

No wariness here. This is a relatively unknown but very positive show. A show of apparent contrasts---a solid, fourteen song first set, followed by a seemingly short second set…..

However, with that being said, if you’d like to hear a really fine late 71 Other One, here you go!!

LOL, one of my October 71 guilty pleasures. The other, we’ll discuss on the 29th……….

Rock on!!!

5/5/78 was shared in it's entirety back when Taper's Section permitted downloading. So, the 1st set board does indeed float about. Alas, they were 192 kbps mp3s.

-edit- Oh, you really mean actual tape! I see it's on archive already, too. haha lol

US Blues encore from 2nd night.

I always thought Victim was a cool song. Caught one of the early versions at Buckeye Lake in 1988. The crowd reaction was priceless. This song actually frightened people. Not every song has to be light and joyful like Sugar Magnolia or Touch of Grey. It was dark and sinister and was a great point of tension and release in the setlist show pacing.

The only songs I never really warmed up to were Wave To The Wind, I Fought The Law (I caught the 1st and it was the booby prize of the cancelled 1st night blizzard show) and Samba In The Rain which Jerry never nailed.

Was over at the Jerry site and surprised that the JGB album being released in vinyl isn't sold out yet. I KNOW if I got up at 5 in the morning to stand in line on RSD, it be sold out by the time I got to the front of the line!!

I really need to see how the "box set is wrapped with textured paper". What could that texture be???

Set 2: Casey Jones-Me And My Uncle-Tennessee Jed-Sugar Magnolia-Comes A Time-Truckin'-Brown-Eyed Women-Not Fade Away>Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad>Not Fade Away

This is deadicated to Jay Carstens…..

“The word tonight is easy going, you know how it is………….”

And easy going it was. While there’s no “big jam”, it’s still a fine and enjoyable show. The new material is nicely on display, a very Bakersfield kind of show, relatively unknown and underappreciated, definitely worthy of a listen, and with no hint of what would be unleashed the following evening……

Rock on!!

Doc
…..but it also turned out to be hell……

I was at the live show included . They were going even faster than I was. Bit frigging expensive, though.

I ordered the 10 lp collection of Joni Mitchell's archive set. Suppose to come around end of month. Got an email pushed back to 2/15/22,,, okay. Yesterday I get an email saying it has been shipped,,,, wow i think. Then I examine the email closer,,,, not the lp's coming but 7x7 inch poster which comes with the box set!!!

Really,,, they're doing a separate mailing for the "art print"!!!!!

You just have to shake your head at somethings that happen :-)

But Jerry is still on track!!! (they had the textured paper in stock)

I do love a box set, but some of them do include an awful lot of tat. Art prints, posters-worst of all fascimiles of tickets from long gone gigs you never went to. I'm not 15 years old for chrissake. No disrespect intended to 15 year olds who may be reading
And not meaning necessarily to diss you're art print, Dennis, which might be an exception to the rule.

50 years ago today………….

Skullfuck aka The Skull Album aka Skull & Roses was released………..

Bertha [4/27/71]-Mama Tried [4/26/71]-Big Railroad Blues [4/5/71]-Playing In The Band [4/6/71]-The Other One [4/28/71]-Me & My Uncle [4/29/71]-Big Boss Man [4/26/71]-Me & Bobby McGee [4/27/71]-Johnny B. Goode [3/24/71]-Wharf Rat [4/26/71]-Not Fade Away/Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad [4/5/71]

The expanded version released in 2003 includes “Oh Boy” and “Hog For You Baby” from the Manhattan Center show of April 6, 1971, as well as a short radio spot. Organ overdubs performed by Merl Saunders were used on Bertha, Playing In The Band, and Wharf Rat. Recording by Betty Cantor and Bob Matthews, artwork by Alton Kelly, photography by Bob Seidemann. It was the first Grateful Dead album to be certified “Gold” by the RIAA.

IMHO, a very fine live album, which we loved dearly and played the ever-loving sh*t out of. But, as fine as it was and is, could it have been better? Maybe. Could’ve done without the drum solo. Why no Hard To Handle? Where was the Morning Dew? And could you imagine IF this has been a 3 record set? That would have been crazy, man, crazy!!!!

A remastered 50th anniversary edition was released on June 25, 2021. It did not include the bonus tracks that were found on the 2003 re-issue. However, it did include a bonus disc with material from the July 2, 1971 Fillmore West show. GREAT BIG THANKS!!!

This was the first 1971 live Dead we ever heard, and it sounded mighty fine! And yes, rockers, I still listen to it, it’s been part of the soundtrack to my entire adult life…………

Rock on!!

Doc

Set 1: Sugar Magnolia-Deal-El Paso-Tennessee Jed-Jack Straw-China Cat Sunflower>I Know You Rider-Playing In The Band-Black Peter-Candyman-One More Saturday Night-Casey Jones

Set 2: Truckin'-Ramble On Rose-Mexicali Blues-Dark Star>Me And Bobby McGee-Cumberland Blues-St. Stephen-Johnny B. Goode

Deadicated to FLH, DarklordBerto, dewajack, docmarty, m-skjellyfetti, Cousins Of The Pioneers, simonrob, lycanthrope51, snafu, and otheronerat, because it was a day of rest……..

Super rare Sugar Mags to kick it off. Fine mid first set China/Rider. Unusual, two back-to-back Garcia songs in the first set. Solid Truckin’ to open the second set. Excellent 71 Dark Star, possibly Latvala’s favorite of the year (10/24/71 Dark Star: Killer. “He loved this Dark Star and thought it was out of place for 1971, feeling more like 1969.”).

You don’t hear a lot about this show, but there’s certainly a lot to like here…….

What is the good of your stars and trees, your sunrise and the wind, if they do not enter into our daily lives?

Rock on!!

Been pretty burned out on Dead, but managed to get Docs 10/71 shows in.
Letting the box sit for a bit before we have at again…

Been listening to a lot of jazz.
Have 3 Bill Evans albums I never really checked out, now our new regular go to picks!
Also some Soul Jazz; mix of Idris Muhammad, and a mix of Grover Washington jr.
Kind of a blur?… Coltrane Live at Birdland, Tribute to Jack Johnson, Cannonball Adderley Something Else, Dexter Gordon Go, Round Midnight Soundtrack, too many to remember? McCoy Tyner, Charles Mingus, Charlie Hunter, Horace Silver…?

Really looking forward to 40 for something completely different!

Still waiting on a shipping confirmation for DaP 40 - I've noticed that I usually get my tracking # around the day of the official release which is a bit disappointing but I assume it's because the SF Bay Area is much closer to the warehouses in SoCal and as such they prioritize orders from further away. Hope to receive it soon and hope everyone's having a great start to their week :)

Comes with a bonus disc, right? If so, I'm going with 10-2-77, paired with 10-1. Should be able to get most of 10-1, too as 10-2 is a shorter gig. Being 1977, it'll attract a lot of folks to subscribe. That said, we are overdue for some 1969.
