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.

GarciaLive 17

Is turning out to be a delightful sample of Jer's band with K & D, Kahn and Tutt (RIP) circa '76.

While the rockers really rock, and the Motown tunes have the pulsing rhythm they need, I just listened to an initially somnabulent Friend of the Devil that turns out soulfully slow, not plodding as it did with the GD. Now, Russian Lullabye, a real low-dynamic treat that features Jer / Kahn interplay.

The Motown tunes don't have the huge sound characteristic of the early '90s Jer band juggernaut, but rather a spare and sweet sound. Donna Jean's fine vocals really complement Jer's, especially in such a relatively low-volume setting. Keith, JK and Tutt are in fine form as well.

A most welcome addition to the Jer solo shelf. FWIW, recommended by HF.

Now I'll have to look for where the chronological gaps in my Jer collection exist, just to place future releases in my mind. His camp has only released one clunker -- the New Year's disaster with Nicky Hopkins, GarciaLive 5, 12-31-75 -- so they're batting average is considerably better than the GD's, though that's to be expected with the latter's far greater volume of releases.

Folks, don't forget the OSF releases. I'm unflinchingly buying every Jer solo release and OSF release and ~75% of all GD vault releases. And a jillion other archival releases. No wonder I'm a little short at the end of the month..... short, but happy. Just imagine Yosemite Sam laying down his pistols for a relaxing glass of firewater in the recliner with a pipeful of dine-o-mite.

Best, worst, loudest, etc

Loudest was probably bar bands because the venue is small and when you’re drinking you’re dumb enough to stand in front of a speaker.

Worst sound quality from a ‘professional’ band was probably Van Halen 2007 Philips Arena. Volume was way too loud (sound guy had to beat Spinal Tap and go to 12) and all the instruments blurred together. And I was on the floor to the right of the soundboard. Then to pour salt on the wounds, the sound system failed for Eddie’s solo and we could only hear the speakers on the stage. At one point Eddie stopped playing and threw up his hands in frustration.
Can’t blame Philips Arena for Van Halen’s poor sound quality, I saw Roger Waters there 3 times and D&C 2 times and the sound quality was excellent for all of them.

GD 5-12-74 Reno
I wasn’t there but was told that the Wall of Sound could be heard quite a ways away and people complained.

2017 Rolling Stones played GA Tech’s football stadium. My house was 6 miles away and I could hear music, not clear enough to determine what was being played, but you could tell it was music and not industrial rumble.

Simonrob with phrase of the day: chemically compromised.
Was it Simon? Can’t scroll down and check while typing. An old version of this site did allow you to do that.

Gary Farseer,
I saw The Who July 89 (a week after I saw GD at Alpine) row 32 floor of the Pontiac Silverdome. That was awesome!! It was the greatest hits show which I actually wanted to see more than a complete Tommy. There are several of the PPV shows from that tour on utoob.

Doing my first spin of Garcia 17 as I type this. I prefer complete shows rather than compilations and chop jobs, but I’ll take all the ‘76 JGB I can get.

I believe that early bird pricing for DaP 2022 subscription ends today.
DaP 42 + bonus should be announced before the full price subscription window closes.

Deep thoughts with Jack Handy:
Why would you pay full subscription price when you could have gotten early bird pricing?

First->Last

First Show - Beach Boys 11/23/66 Baltimore Civic Center with Chad and Jeremy opening. We all wore ties and sports coats and the ushers wouldn't let us stand

First Dead - Capital Center 7/29/74 w/ Phil and Ned at intermission

My wife's first Dead- RFK 1973 and second Watkins Glen - I think she got off to a good start!

Loudest show - The Guess Who at Loyola College in Baltimore around 1970 while I was in high school. Ear blisteringly loud and uncomfortable for a smallish gym.

Last show with major acts The Peach Fest in 2019

Who?

Speaking of the Who, my favorite production so far is the PPV of 1989 with Patti Labelle singing Acid Queen. I paid for the PPV and still have the VHS tapes but I also bought it on DVD when it came out. Really thought Simon Phillips on drum brought back the missing spark. Sounded incredible live thru the smaller BBS I had at the time.

Speaking of 1989 wish Dave would remaster the Summer Solstice show from 1989 PPV, including the whole video footage of crowd, an internal shakedown with artists and the whole intermission break. Ha, One can ask. I also ordered that PPV and it was a great night at home doing some dosed cranking...

Loud Funk Railroad

Or is it Great Loud Funkload? Grand Farner Loadloud? I give up.

I'm not sure why, considering the occasional barrage of cheese from even the finest of the 1970s rock dinosaurs, that GFR get shit on so much. Perhaps most are only familiar with "We're An American Band," and the like, but the band were capable of some really good R&B covers and originals, such as "Bad Time," and "Some Kind of Wonderful."

At any rate, modern live sound has advanced SO much in even the past 10 years. Having seen both Eagles and Dead & Co. on their 2021 Fall tours, both had impeccable live sound that carried magnificently from the first row to the last (and D&C was outside at Red Rocks, mind you) with great clarity and punch - without being overly loud.

The technology has just gotten so much better - you can get a quality bang your head rock and roll experience up front, closer to the banks of PA speakers as well as backline if you want it - without blowing your eardrums. Roger Waters hands down had the best live sound I have ever heard both on The Wall tour as well as the Dark Side that preceded it - flawless, impeccable live sound that I could not imagine being any better without coming from inside my head.

I have residual tinnitus that comes in and out all the time from a lifetime of musical enjoyment. The weird covid shit floating around everywhere seems to have exacerbated it for me as well as many others I know. I don't have it as bad as many and I refuse to let it affect my quality of life. I try to ignore it when it comes on until I forget it's even happening, and then for all practical intents and purposes, it isn't. Zen Jedi mind over matter.

It was also at Red Rocks in the early 1990s when I totally blew out the hearing on my right side. I was more of a metal dumb ass then, went to see Scorpions, Great White and Mr. Big. Nothing wrong with that kind of party, but we got there late and made the ill-fated decision to get up into the first couple of rows.

First couple of rows all the way to the right. So we spent the show facing due left and were literally bludgeoned by heavy metal PA for hours on end. Now it was nothing new to leave a venue with my ears ringing, but it was entirely new to wake up the next day deaf in my right ear. Not totally deaf, but everything sounded like when you put a seashell up to your ear. People's voices sounded out from under a wet blanket. Day two after the show, the hearing started to come back, and to this day my right ear has fully recovered and is just as good (bad?) as my left one.

My buddy had the same experience. While sustained hearing damage may have been justifiable to see Jimi Hendrix or the Who back in the day, seeing this ho-hum metal triple bill was surely not. Thank God we persevered.

Cheers!

Now there is a name from the distant past. I saw them at Bickershaw Festival in 1972. They played on the Saturday before Captain Beefheart. They were just average as I recall. Do they really still exist? It seems that they may have improved with time, lots of time.

Wish I had the time

I am so far behind on posting...

Loudest ever The Steve Morse Band in really tiny club. Stood maybe 3 feet from left PA stack. I still like to crank my BBS but have started to have some tinnitus in left ear, where my head was next to the stack. The Who, and I know the Who in 1976 set the Guinness World Record for awhile, was loud but Yes 1976 on the crab nebula tour was really loud as they were in my home town arena that holds 11,000 but only had about half attendance. They had basically the same PA as the shows they would do the next week at RFK and JFK. Even a song like Wonderous Stories was loud. Was a awesome show. Other times seeing Yes was more balanced and in my opinion the only band that had a sound anywhere close to matching what Bear, Healy, The Meyers, and Don Pearson (and others) created. The 1976 tour was with Patrick Moraz and included Sound Chaser and the Gates of Delirium. Then right there with them was Blue Oyster Cult in 1977 and 1981. For these shows we learned to sit in the back of the arena dead center to get the full force of the PA. Have a lot more to write about this and how it relates to Dead releases.

Wanted to say Thanks to Doc for including me last week in a Deadication, always feels good to be accepted.

Hopefully more tomorrow.

Down two goals late in the 2nd....

....switched goalies to fire up the team and won 5-4. Hockey is pretty cool. Broke Dallas's seven game win streak. I'll take it.
And the Kraken have very nice colors and logo. See you down the road.

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!!

Doc
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.
"Everyone had a wet dream."
I just had one and I'm awake.

Encore: One More Saturday Night

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.

Getting Antsy...

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?

Dennis

Think Santa will bring you a record player this year?

Bass solos....

....check out when Phil sat in with Phish 9.17.99 Shoreline. Gordon and Lesh just dueling. Back to your regularly scheduled programming. I would linq it, but hey. Rules are rules. Despite lawyers and opportunists still sneaking in.
Google Phil Phish.

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.

The making of LIB and Get Back

For those interested in all the gear and decision making of LIB and Jackson's Get Back,

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.

I had Edwardsville IL 8 16 80 in the cue

Ha!

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,

I was traveling in a jet from Florida to Washington. We had a stop in Chicago. I had had half of...something ;))) for the ride. We flew in to Chicago. I had 12/14/71 playing in my cassette Walkman. Looking out my window, the sun lit up the towers of Chicago...

it was glorious

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

“Roll right through the night”

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!

They Made Me Do It

It's vinyl! And one of my top favorite DiP's.
Can't wait!

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)

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…..
