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.

The Beatles weren't that bad

Sorry for kicking dirt in your face there Mr Ones. Very unintentional, I can assure you. Obviously, it's very much down to personal choice what music we like. I am sure more people would agree with you than me about post 1967 Beatles - which is fine by me. I always listen and watch with an open mind though - and it's doubtful I knew that "Get Back" had a poor reputaion when I saw it. I just found it - and the "Let It Be " album a bit depressing. I am sure I wanted to like it when I firts came across it. But I don't feel like watching it again now - how long do you think I'm going to live anyway? I always liked the second side of Abbey Road - but again, it doesn't sail as high as the mid 60s records in my estimation. But that's a subjective statement, not an objective one.

Incidentally, the blu ray film of The Beatles In India looks more like my cup of tea. There was a great documentary on televsion over summer on this subject, presented by and including music by Donovan. Now there's someone ripe for re-discovery.

That "Other One " jam at Paris 5/3/72 is something to behold. Amazing how they could so completely and succesfully re-invent this after they had already been so succesful exploring it from 1968-1970. This version is almost a different song from how they played it in the earlier years.

The Beatles Suck??

Alright, huge disclaimer upfront: I am a Beatles fanatic. Bought my first Beatles record 56 years ago. Having said that, I would like to say this:
A narrative became a fact shortly after Let It Be was released to theaters in 1970. And that narrative was that this was the Beatles breaking up on film, and was full of unpleasantness. And that(based on 1 review?? 2, 4??) whatever the case may be. I had not seen the film myself between say 1996 and 2005. A friend sent me a nice print on DVD(it had never been officially released after a brief exception on Laser Disc & Video Tape). So before watching the movie in 2005, even I was prepared to see this horrible example of a beloved group breaking up. After viewing the movie, I was astounded to come away with the impression that I saw mostly joy in the film.
I believe ALL of this negativity was down to the 1 minute of film where George acts very snarky to Paul for trying to tell him how to play guitar. And yes, I think Paul was a pushy, opinionated ass sometimes, but he also drove the band forward when no one else was willing to do so.
And I don’t think anyone can honestly say that their final piece of work, Abbey Road, was a piece of crap.
So, the long standing negative vibes surrounding January 1969, at least as far as public opinion is concerned, is that it was a horrible time. It’s just not true. I challenge you to watch Let It Be, honestly, and say you came away with a negative vibe.
So yes, I am a little sensitive about this issue, and biased(as I stated upfront), but it’s amazing how a couple of negative reviews can become a fact of life for millions.
I have not seen Get Back yet, mainly because the Holiday weekend foiled all my plans to get together with friends and watch it together. But I am super excited to see it. I don’t believe Peter Jackson(NOT Disney!!) had to do any manipulation to create a false impression. He showed what the footage showed, plain and simple.
If you don’t like the Beatles, I am fine with that, to each their own(kind of like with the Dead and “eras”). And if you want to comment on the Get Back movie, maybe try watching it with an open mind first(can you do that?).
I really don’t care if people hate the movie, it just shows that nothing is loved by everyone.
Just please don’t dismiss something based on 51 year old reviews(which I believe are distorted) and try to either watch it with an open mind. Or how about this: Don’t watch it if you don’t want to. No one is being forced to watch this film.
Whew, I feel(a little) better!!
Peace to all, we like what we like and that’s definitely OK!!

A great among the greats. It's been in rotation for more than a decade now. The key moments in the second set probably get four or more hits a year.

Beatles Dead

Cnkd - I don't know if " Get Back" has been out dvd/video before - I think I saw it on televison in the mid 70's. Already, at that time, it felt like watching a documentary on ancient history. I used to watch and listen to everthing I could find on The Beatles ( among many, many other bands) at that time - but that one did seem like a monumental downer - the overall vibe, the mawkish songs..no, not for me - especially at that time with that mindset. Could have been my age when I saw it. If you have never seen it before, and you like The Beatles, it's probably worth watching though.

Crow-coincidence - I am half way through listening to that Olympia Paris show from 1972 on vinyl too. A great show with no filler. Even the less celebrated songs - Tennessee Jed, for example, are beautifully played. Whatever you pay for it, it's worth it.

"Legalize Pot, Queen Says No..."

I am quite enjoying this. No, it's no Revolver or Rubber Soul, but it takes a peek into the creative process of a creative band at the end of a great creative streak in a way that's not typically shown. Warts and all.. there's something there that's better left said than locked up another decade or five in a vault somewhere left unsaid and unseen.

Just my point of view, I could be wrong.

Daverock, Crow, Beatles

You lived through it and already know the story.
Has this video been released before?
It’s not as disneyfied as you would expect, swearing and off language was not edited out.
Yeah, they smoke A LOT of cigarettes. I was wondering if they were smoking weed when the cameras were off.

I think that it is interesting to see this this footage of them, even if it is presented in a positive way.
Is it not accurate? I don’t know because I was still wearing diapers when it happened. But it’s interesting to see them read the reports and gossip about them in the newspaper and the story about them is an exaggeration from what was shown in the video. Maybe it really happened and the cameras didn’t record it.

I’m not a huge Beatles fan but I like watching vintage concert/studio video of them. I have Ron Howard’s documentary on BluRay. Interesting tidbit of info from there, at the Hollywood Bowl concert one of the screaming girls in the crowd is Sigourney Weaver, they interview her for the documentary.

Anyway, part 3 tonight which supposedly contains the entire rooftop concert which I want to see because I’ve only seen portions of it before.

Anniversary show 11 /28 /87. Warfield Theatre

34 years ago tonight, I was at the Warfield Theatre to hear Garcia kickoff the show with a great version of Swing Low Sweet Chariot. This was the 2nd show of a 3 night run, one acoustic set and 2 electric. Fun city!

Disney Beatles

I really need to watch the movie before I pass judgment, and I will watch it, eventually. But I have to say I'm suspicious of what seems like a pretty blatant rewriting of history to give us a nice, family-friendly, Disney version of the Beatles break up.

Let It Be was Paul's baby, and it failed--by Beatles' standards, anyway. And the film that was issued at the time showed the reason why: the Beatles were barely speaking to each other, they could barely play together anymore, John and George had one foot out the door, nobody but Paul thought it was a good idea to try to write songs and record an album with a documentary team filming every cigarette and cup of tea and petty argument, and the music shows it.

Now here we are all these years later, John and George are dead, the footage gets sold to Disney, and now we get the Disney-fied version, where it's all sanitized for maximum profitability, and golly gee, now it looks like everybody was actually having loads of fun and everything was going great, and the Beatles story now has a happy ending! Yay! And look, Paul was the real leader of the group, just like he's often implied!

It's funny, but if the original film was such a horrible misrepresentation of what the whole experience was like for the band, nobody said so at the time. But Paul outlived John and George, so we get this Disney version of the latter day Beatles, something that probably would've never happened if John was around. Ah well, it's still probably fun just to see those guys in their prime, so I probably shouldn't be such a grouch about it. But like John said, just gimme some truth. No need to sugar coat it 50 years later.

Anyway ... on a cheerier note: I finally got my hands on a copy of the Olympia '72 vinyl thing via discogs. As much as I complain about GD stuff selling for astronomical prices on the secondary market, I finally found a copy that was only a few bucks more that it would've been if I'd managed to score one on Record Store Day, so I jumped on it. I think everybody here knows that show so I suppose there's no need to ramble on about how great it is. But it's really fucking great!!! EVERYBODY is playing well, everybody is in good voice, Pig's still a force, the audio is excellent, it's just fantastic. I wish it wasn't a limited edition so everybody could have this.

Set 1: Truckin'-Brown-Eyed Women-Mr. Charlie-Jack Straw-Sugaree-Beat It On Down The Line-It Hurts Me Too-Tennessee Jed-El Paso-Run Rudolph Run-Black Peter-Playing In The Band-Casey Jones-One More Saturday Night

Set 2: Ramble On Rose-Mexicali Blues-Big Boss Man-Sugar Magnolia-Not Fade Away>Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad>Not Fade Away

Deadicated to Rosie McGee, Ed Wolpov, Peter Corrigan, James Anderson, Michael Parrish, Ric Carter, and Alarmy.com, because I've been to too many dead concerts, there've been smokin' holes where my memory used to be…..

And now ladies and gentlemen here they are straight from Madison Square Garden in famous New York, the Grateful Dead!!!!

In retrospect this show suffers because it came right before the behemoth December 10 show. The first set is strong and has heartfelt versions of It Hurts Me Too and Black Peter. The second set is, well, short, but well played, and there’s no encore.

I thank TPTB for its official release………

Not a top tier show, but worth a listen…………..

Kinda rollin’ low………..

Rock on!!

Beauty, sweet love, is like the morning dew,
Whose short refresh upon tender green,
Cheers for a time, but till the sun doth show
And straight is gone, as it had never been…..

RIP John

I dug out "Let it be...Naked" the remix minus the Spector additions last night. Very enjoyable.

Thinking of John reminds me of the San Bernadino show 12-12-80 I attended days after John's death. In the second set, the band performed a heart-wrenching 'He's Gone', very touching.

In the middle of the final episode of Get Back....

....they do seem much more comfortable in Apple Studios. 🍎
Great stuff. Rooftop concert is upcoming and I CAN'T WAIT!!
Edit. Interviewer asked a random man on the street what he thought. "Its too loud and it's disrupting the business in the district."
Classic!!
The women get IT though.

This is deadicated to Kevin Kelly……………

The solid but somewhat unremarkable first set gives no clue of the upcoming super nova second set. Highlights include the great Good Lovin’ to open and the massive jam that closes the set. Another monster December 1971 show, and one that actually does get widespread love and respect. I am eternally grateful to TPTB for its official release. Savor it!

Ladies and gentlemen we have a loose frap………..

Rock on!!

One thing I like to look for in a lawyer is proper use of syntax and grammar but since you took the time to drop by PIL in NY, I think I might have to give you a shot .... sheesh

yes, the "people in the street" interviews are great

That would be cool to be part of that history.

Most were ok with it, but that one guy has a microphone stand so far up his "exit" that you can see the mic holder.

Great stuff.

RIP Mike Nesmith

Just read of his death. Loved The Monkees’ and his post band albums were sublime.

Mike Nesmith

Sad news. He will probably be more respected for his solo career than the records he made with The Monkees-but I am not familiar with the later stuff. I have aways like those Monkees singles, though, and "Porpoise Song" is a psych classic.

for DaP 41 in January. Had already forgotten the date so had to go back to the Seaside to be reminded. Baltimore 5-26-77 is my happy zone era but I don't want to spoil it by hearing it first on the Archive. So any opinions and superlatives? Dave seemed very high on this one putting it as one of four possibilities for DaP 1. One early DaP 40 post mentions the missing U.S. Blues encore as one of the better versions so glad it's getting on a CD quickly even if difficult to play in succession. Thanks and cheers!

Is there a Dead Head in the house?.....

A man goes to a pacific island for vacation. As the boat nears, he notices the constant sound of drumming. As he gets off the boat, he asks a native how long the drumming will go on. The native casts about nervously and says "very bad when drumming stops."

Later that day, the drumming is still going and it is really starting to get to him. So, he asks another native when the drumming will stop. The native looks as if he's just been spooked. "Very bad when drumming stops," he says, and hurries off.

After a couple of days with little sleep, the man has had enough. He grabs the first native he sees, slams him up against a tree, and shouts, "What happens when the drumming stops?!"

The native replies, "Bass solo."

Bass solo?

Not Space?

Think Santa will bring you a record player this year?

Anniversary show 12/12/81 Fiesta Hall

40 years ago today, I was at the San Mateo County Fairgrounds to see a benefit show called Dance for Disarmement. It was billed as Joan Baez and friends, Garcia & Weir were the only friends mentioned. The Dead backed Baez with an acoustic set, and then came out and played a great electric set. It was a very small venue,( Fiesta Hall), probably only 1 thousand people there.. I see Strider was there, anyone else make it there? Anyway, we all had a blast!

Speaking of Bass solos

When I saw Garcia & Grisman play at the Warfield Theatre, Grisman's bass player James Kerwin, did a killer bass solo on the song Arabia, really a knockout! The shows were super special, and should all be released.

Arabia

Hell yeah. Love that song and that whole band etc
We’re you at that awesome God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen they did (at the Warfield I think?) that’s on usetoob?
Cheese and Rice dood, you and Strider have bee at waaaay too many shows lol, lucky dogs!

Speaking of, where is ole Strider been hiding? Hope your all good Amigo! We miss ya round these parts!

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

Yeah, I saw them do that song, the band was on fire, Garcia was really on top of things, playing as good as he ever had; then they ended the show with a knockout version of Ripple, with two mandolins, just like American Beauty.

Hey Billy, as I've commented before, we seem to have been at many of the same shows. I was at the Fiesta room for that sneak show with the Dead and Joan Baez.

Just read your joke Dennis, made me laugh.

Vguy, saw your L.A. Woman 50th post. I got into them on FM radio growing up, then bought that double CD Best Of The Doors. Then the movie came out and they were huge in the early 90s on my college campus (and others I'm sure). Cover bands were all over the place - remember being drunk and stoned at The Flying Club watching a band do a good cover of The End. Anyway, I was watching a documentary on L.A. Woman a few years ago and discovered the song Hyacinth House, which was neither on my double CD nor an FM radio song. Wow. How that song was publicly ignored, I cannot guess, but IMHO it's better than a lot of tunes on that Best Of CD. Peace Frog from Morrison Hotel too, though a buddy of mine had that CD, so I didn't miss out on it.

Re: Ha

The Dennis quip was rather hilarious. Dead.net is one of the few things out there that provides relief and good vibes against the sea of trouble that is the rest of the world.

Hey Now!

Since there's been interest shown I'd like to say that tickets for The Tedeschi Trucks Band & Los Lobos go on sale for Red Rocks on December 17th....the shows are late July 2022...

Equipment check.

Not related to any conversation, but,

My kid showed me this video of a Yamaha RA 200 amp/spinning speaker. I know we have a lot of people here, who, to this guy sounds like they know their shit.

Is this thing really cool? Anyone have one?

I was wowed by it. Can rate of spin be dynamically changed while playing without delays. Or would you stop playing for second to speed up or slow down.

and...

also saw that "pre-sale" whatever that means is tomorrow the 14th for those shows

The TTB / Los Lobos Red Rocks shows....

....hit my feed this morning. They also announced additional dates, but nothing west coast. Seriously contemplating on going. Vacation days already approved.

Green Lake

Hey Proudfoot, I've looked for the old theatre around a Green Lake a few times but have never been able to find it. Do you know if it is still there, or if not where approx it used to stand?

Aqua Theater at Green Lake

it is the southwest corner; there is still a concrete grandstand there.

Think about where the rowing shells get put into the water, or where the golf greens are.

or just south of the homeless encampment/parked RVs

Deadicated to Charlie Miller---and other like-minded individuals such as Mr Bill, Sir Mick, GEMS, and Scott Clugston, because memory is the personal journalism of the soul…..

Is it just me? I have listened to this show 203,842 times (yes, I kept track) and it never fails to deliver. Inspired, intense, intoxicating, occasionally even baffling. How did they do it? Why did they do it? Who did they do it to? How many young minds were blown on this evening of delights? For me this show has attained mythic status……….

Dream like, yet firmly grounded in the reality of rock and roll. Rocking, yet soulful. Creamy smooth, yet nicely edgy. Psychedelic, yet country. Greasy, yet jammy. All Dead things to all Dead people………..

For 1971, this is the complete live Dead package. Highly highly recommended!

If the world were clear, art would not exist……

Rock on,

Dicks Picks 19 Vinyl Real Gone

It looks like Real Gone is offering a pre-order of Dicks Picks 19 on Vinyl. Considering how quickly Dicks Picks 36 vinyl sold out in combination with just how good and special 10/19/73 is.. this will likely sell out pretty quickly too.

Just a friendly FYI. That Dark Star > Morning Dew is stunning, or in the immortal words of OB.. a real Bobby Dazzler.

DiP 19 Vinyl

Pumped for this show Jim, I missed the DiP 36 too, actually found it in a record store in Seattle though, so all worked out

Yepper, Dicks 19 is perhaps my fav.
If you don’t have it, GIT SUM!

EDIT: so as not to be called out by the quote police, I allocated Bobbie Dazzler from Gary Drayton on Oak Island.
It’s what he says when he finds a “top pocket find” , kinda like shows for us!

It's vinyl! And one of my top favorite DiP's.

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.

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.

Stars arrive on their own timetable…..

50 years ago today…………….

December 15, 1971
Hill Auditorium, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan

Set 1: Bertha-Me And Bobby McGee-Mr. Charlie-China Cat Sunflower>I Know You Rider-Beat It On Down The Line-It Hurts Me Too-Cumberland Blues-Jack Straw-You Win Again-Run Rudolph Run-Playing In The Band-Brown-Eyed Women-Mexicali Blues-Big Railroad Blues-Brokedown Palace-El Paso-Casey Jones

Set 2: Dark Star>Deal-Sugar Magnolia-Turn On Your Lovelight>King Bee>Mannish Boy> Turn On Your Lovelight-One More Saturday Night

Encore: Uncle John’s Band

This is dedicated to Todd Sherman………….

High quality tapes of the massive, 18 song first set have circulated since the dawn of time and were a December 71 cornerstone in many collections. Highlights include the sweet China/Rider, fine Cumberland Blues, and a strong Hurts Me Too.

The second set appeared years later. It was worth the wait………

It kicks off nicely with the twelfth and final Dark Star of 1971, twenty minutes of jamming sonic sweetness that travels through many interesting musical spaces. The second set---and the last tour of the year---closes with mythic appropriateness with a rockin’, bluesy, rapping (hey, was Pigpen the first white rapper?) old school Lovelight.

A wonderful companion piece to December 14. When resonant harmonies arise between this vast outer cosmos and the inner human cosmos, poetry is born……

Sometimes at night I would sleep open-eyed underneath a sky dripping with stars. I was alive then.…

Rock on!!

Doc
It is my hope that during my brief passage through this universe, that I may share with you the joy of hearing the music of the stars... knowing that the composer was from a distant place and the songs were written eons ago, which now fall gently on this place for all to hear…..
