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.

Portsmouth Guildhall

The December 1963 appearance by The Beatles was their second visit to the venue that year, having played there in March. They were due to play in November but Paul McCartney was ill so it was rescheduled in December. My brother and I, together with two sisters that we knew went to the show. My mum was good enough to take us. It was more a visual experience than an aural one. The PA was the utterly inadequate house PA and the band used small amp/speaker combos (Vox AC 30?). Most sound was totally drowned out by screaming girls who were also busy throwing jelly baby sweets at the band. It was easy to see the band as the hall was small, having a capacity of around 3000. I can't remember exactly but I understand that the boys played a standard 10 song set on that tour so it must have been a pretty short show. The setlist for that tour comprised: I saw her standing there, From me to you, All my loving, You really got a hold on me, Roll over Beethoven, Boys, Till there was you, She loves you, Money (that's what I want) and Twist and shout.

I saw many shows at the Guildhall over the following years up until the late 1970s. In 1969 The Mothers of Invention had the dubious distinction of being the first act to be banned from the venue. Their shows were apparently lewd and unsuitable for general public consumption. Unfortunately I only found out about their shows after the event. I did get to see them the following year at another event. Also at the Guildhall, in early 1972 the Pink Floyd played the complete Dark side of the moon for the first time. It is alleged that they played the complete thing a few days earlier along the coast in Brighton but due to equipment problems they were unable to play it in its entirety. The Tubes had the honour of being banned by the City Council before they ever got to the Guildhall. They were scheduled to play on Remembrance Sunday 1977, the day that Brits honour their war dead. Portsmouth is a major navy city having a large dockyard so the day is extensively honoured in the city. Members of the Council had heard rumours about The Tubes, so a delegation was sent to an earlier gig to check 'em out. They were sufficiently unimpressed to ban the band there and then. Mrs. Elsie Fudge (63), a magistrate, said that the sex scenes were totally unnecessary although the music was good. I was going to see them so I was not happy. I managed to see them at Knebworth the following year.

Fortunately the Guildhall was not the only venue in town, the South Parade Pier being the best of them all. I saw some great gigs there, right up until it burnt down in 1974 during the filming of Tommy.

Acoustic Attics. 9/24/94

I saw an acoustics Attics on 9/24/94 at the B.C.T. Lesh, Weir, Garcia, & Welnick. I was at the S.F. Blues festival earlier in the day, and we ate at Everett & Jones BBQ that night, big fun.

Simonrob takes the freakin' cake!

Great stories, gentlemen. I'm voting for Simonrob -- first show, the freakin' Beatles in '63. No one's gonna top that.

Okay, pal: spill! We want stories and we want them NOW!

I got my first Beatles album in 1964. Begged my mom to buy it for me. My folks had a very old mono turntable, an unhoused tube amp and a giant piece of furniture my dad called "Lenin's Tomb." It had a 12" speaker. I'd put the Beatles on low volume and sit by the speaker and rock out. I was 6-7 yrs old. Maybe February '65 a President's Day sale made handheld transistor radios available for like $10. I BEGGED my dad to buy us one and he did. At that point, the Stones and Beatles and Motown ruled the airwaves, despite, yes, the one-hit wonders making the charts.

Okay, Simonrob, start talkin'!!!!!!!!!!!!

First Rockers

'74 Feyline's Sun Day #1 ABB, Marshall Tucker, Steve Miller, Elvin Bishop, Wet Willie all day event at Mile High.
Too hot to really enjoy it after 5 bands.
'74 Lynyrd Skynyrd at Ebbet's Field, a small club in downtown Denver.
This is the one with the 27 minute Free Bird and I think every song from their first two albums. Smokin'!!!
$5 at the door and two drink minimum. Underage stamp got us $2.50 ea. soda back when a soda was $0.25.
Got talked into going by a friend (RIP Dave N.) who was learning to play guitar but had no car.
'75-'76 Eagles at Red Rocks, Bob James and the CTI (label) Jazz Allstars at Red Rocks, Elton John, Yes w/ Gentle Giant, ELP, B.B. King, Les McCann, Ramsey Lewis, Herbie Hancock, The Jazz Crusaders, and every free show Colo. State Univ. put on at the lagoon.
And it was uphill from there.

DHB: There were no hotties at the X-mas party ( I had mine at home) but as a new employee I didn't want to show up in the middle of dinner. It was hard to focus coming down as I remember. Only one cool fellow employee surmised my state of consciousness after hearing I had come from the Dead show.

Edit: HF, agreed it is pretty hard to beat '63 Beatles! And I love the N.Y. Rock Ensemble, Freedom Burger and what was the other one on my early tape, Let It Rock? I was taping cassettes of everyone's albums to save money and I had a car deck too. My first TEAC had a separate little black Dolby box.

Ist shows

T.Rex May 1972 - the concert had to be called to a halt after about 20 minutes as hundreds of hot panted, screaming girls were getting crushed at the front of the stage. Bolan came back on, played a few acoustic songs then reverted to rock n' roll and more mayhem. I'd never heard anything so loud in all my life.

David Bowie December 1972 - a much cooler affair at Manchester Hardrock - hippie type people sitting on the floor gazing at the future.

Early 1973 - Black Sabbath, Hawkwind, Uriah Heep, Genesis and in September... The Stones.

I first saw The Dead in March 1981 at The Rainbow in London, by which time I felt like my wild years were behind me, to some extent with a sensible haircut, job-all that baloney. I knew what I was doing by then. Or thought I did. Little did I know. Anyway - what had turned me on to them were the albums - Anthem and American Beauty particularly - so the show didn't really reflect why I liked them. Still enjoyed it though. It all seemed very civilised!

I don't know one note from another……

50 years ago today……..

November 14, 1971
Daniel-Meyer Coliseum, Texas Christian University, Fort Worth, , Texas

Set 1: Bertha-Beat It On Down The Line-China Cat Sunflower>I Know You Rider-El Paso-Sugaree-Jack Straw-Big Railroad Blues-Me And Bobby McGee-Loser-Playing In The Band-Tennessee Jed-You Win Again-Mexicali Blues-Casey Jones-One More Saturday Night

Set 2: Truckin'>drums>The Other One>Me And My Uncle>The Other One>Wharf Rat-Sugar Magnolia-Johnny B. Goode

Deadicated to Matt's_On_The_Way, boblopes, Hoopsie, lowspark75, muleskinner_blues, Gary Farseer, DaveStrang, Guss West, Ridin that Train, and Coconut Phil, because gratitude is when memory is stored in the heart and not in the mind….

This show was relatively unknown until it was partially released as part of the Road Trips series in February 2010, and now, eleven years later, one still hears very little about it.

The 16 song first set, one of the longest of the year, is very fine, with major Bakersfield flavors. Nice early first set China/Rider. Serious dose of country-western-Weir material. The first live version of Hank Williams’ You Win Again, a cover song I always enjoyed. I thought Garcia did it well………..

The second set is slightly shorter, with a more convoluted Other One than in San Antonio , with the somewhat typical Other One/MAMU/Other One sandwich leading into Wharf Rat.

Very solid show, underrated, definitely worth checking out!

Rock on!!

Doc!!
No matter how I struggle and strive, I'll never get out of this world alive…..

So 1stShow, who was the lady?

No one leaves a Dead show early, unless the woman you're trying to meet up with is pretty special. :)

First concert--Culture Club in 1983 at the Met Center in Bloomington, MN. The Dead played there a few times.

Oro--Foreigner and Jethro Tull were my favorite bands in high school. Still love listening to both bands' early albums.

Cool stories.

The Beatles in 63, nice! Bet that was something.
HF always entertaining and reminiscent of the glory daze.
Doc, too funny, thanks for sharing!

Nothing historic here, but good sheet none the less!
First was a huge obsession early on between my BF then and myself with the Beatles, but alas we couldn’t see them. And I was way into Hendrix in HS, but couldn’t see him. And I had a ticket to Zepplin later, but that show got cancelled.
So as many 15 year olds would do back then, I went to a band that was all over the radio. Here’s my first dozen to illustrate that I’d go to pretty much anything I could until the full, GD addiction took hold.
1/25/78 Kiss
7/28/78 Bob Welch, Pablo Cruise, Foreigner, and Fleetwood Mac (Stevie like a goddess!)
10/16/78 Uriah Heap, Jethro Tull
1/20/79 Grateful Dead third row at small theater)
1/24/79 Rush (10th row, might have been 1980?)
6/1/79 Muddy Waters, Eric Clapton (Muddy waters should have been the headliner!)
6/7/79 Supertramp
7/23/79 Triumph (at the Philharmonic hall, first song flash pots almost ended the show lol)
10/15/79 the Eagles
11/9/79 Grateful Dead
12/3/79 38 Special, Molly Hatchet, and the OutLaws
12/4/79 the Who (day after Cincinnati, very powerful)

By this point it was only opportunity that would keep me from seeing the Dead as much as reasonably possible for the next 15 years! Aaaaaaa the good ole daze!

Ah Stoltzie

4/24/72 RTR - the release that turned me into a casual Dead listener. Sugar Magnolia came on in the smoky basement of a home poker game shortly after it came out. I looked at the guy whose house we were at and said in a British accent "what's this mate?" And the rest was history. Still think it's the best version, but you know, you never forget your first Sugar Magnolia.

I'm with you on the 8/1/73, 6/10/73, and 11/19/72. I would add Chicago 7/25/74 to that list. Really want that last '74 Dark Star with the early Slipknot! after it.

Would still very much like the Boston Tea Party shows from the end of 1969 into New Year's. It's unreal how long a Dave's Pick 1969 drought it's been. Back to back Bonus Disc releases with 6 & 10, and then crickets for 8 years.

A few thoughts

7 25 74 yes KF agreed

Glad to have 2 23 74 coming our way

69 shows YES weeee neeeed moooore, Dave

Yesterday of all days

I drive home from Oregon in glorious GD goodness

Pick up son and his GF from airport on the way

Get to my house

Stove/oven and an electrical outlet not functioning

WTF

yin yang

For those with short memories

Trump was the one throwing millions at the drug companies in the2020with the instructions to get a vaccine now! What were the Dems doing? Saying it will never work, it will take 5 years blah blah. Harris claimed she would mess it up. Wtf he wasn’t developing it By the way I’m not anything close to a Trump supporter, as a matter of fact I resigned from the Republican Party in June 16 of 2016 when they nominated him. How many here left the Dems when they nominated a self entitled criminal in ‘16 or a clearly deficient old man in 2020. No just interested in historical accuracy

Best to all

Hi all, I just wanted to wish all you grate people on this forum the best of christmases, restful holidays, and a wonderful, safe and healthy new year!

I've said this before, but it bears repeating: I really enjoy the conversations here, I learn a lot about other music to check out, and I feel like this is a place where there is interesting, informed conversation about the best band in the world, and my favorite band. Thanks, all!

Snafu got into the brown acid

FDT

Meanwhile...

The gorillas at the zoo are cool

Canned heat

Try 1971 'whiskey and wimmen' with john lee hooker on harp and vocals. Happy holidays guys.

Alan Wilson…

On harp. JLH didn’t play harp and you can hear him in amazement as to how the Blind Owl can keep up

Snafu

I meant harmonica.

Christmas is the day that holds all time together.........

Yo! Rockers!!!!

Christmas is the spirit of giving without a thought of getting. So if anybody out there needs some 1971 Christmas joy in their stocking, you know where to find me! The excellence of a gift lies in its appropriateness rather than in its value........

Christmas to a child is the first terrible proof that to travel hopefully is better than to arrive.........

Happy and safe holidays to all, and rock on!!

Doc
Christmas is a season for kindling the fire for hospitality in the hall, the genial flame of charity in the heart......

Hooker 'N' Heat

That's an amazing album. Not very seasonal - but that version of "Burning Hell" is corrosive. John Lee talks about Pigpen inbetween songs, too-dissing his cooking. I presume that's the same Pigpen.

its Christmas

and I'm sure no one here wants to hear the ravings of a trumpian, so let's all be thankful that the orange loser is not in power anymore and be done with it.
The best xmas present ever, trump in jail.

Daverock

You are correct, sir. Canned/Hooker combination is sweet as honey. Hooker adds that voice that you can't find anymore. Legendary. It is going to be a long, long road to 74' winterland, and Baltimore. If you signed up for the early pigeon subscription, it is even that much better.

Dick's Picks Vinyl Question

Ok, everyone gave me enough amazon gift cards I was able to buy a copy of DP36 in vinyl. (missed it by this much when it came out!!) Just for argument sake it was 350 (new/unopened)

My question is how many of the dicks have been put out in vinyl? I have 8, 26, 19 and now 36. Am I missing any?

Hope everyone had a super Christmas and Santa left you everything you ever wanted!

Dennis: Dick's Picks Vinyl Question

I believe DP 1 though 5 have been reissued on vinyl.

Dicks Picks on vinyl

Dennis - I think 24 came out too-3/23/74. I am not 100% sure - I didn't get it. There was one from 1974 that I dithered about...and while I was trying to make my mind up, it disappeared off Amazon. Whichever 1974 show it was - the last time I saw it was on Discogs...for hundreds of pounds

Two cool shows ten years apart.

12/26/69 and 12/26/79

12-26-70...we were

At the El Monte Legion Stadium (of Frank Zappa fame) for the start of a three day run...one of those night's had an "Easy Wind" that was so good and powerful I thought the back wall of the arena was going to blow out...

12-26-79 DP 5

With the "Uncle John's" 2nd set sandwich is another fine listen for today...

El Monte December 1970

Now therez a box opportunity

Real Gone Dicks

DiP 19 recently came out on on vinyl Real Gone, and I grabbed me one. I think I kind of panicked.

Last year Real Gone put DiP 36, which is one of my 3-4 most favorite of the whole series, but money was tight, and I hesitated and it sold out and then I regretted it. So when they announced they were doing 19 I ordered it immediately, even though to me it's only a very good and maybe not great show. But I'm still glad to have it. Not sure how many others they've done on vinyl but they've done quite a number DiPs and Road Trips on seedy. It's worth it to subscribe to their email newsletter if you're looking for that stuff.

Just btw, I received a vinyl copy of the Goat Head Soup reissue for Xmas, and I'm enjoying it more than expected. I really only wanted it to get the 'Brussels Affair' live set, which is some of very best live Stones on record IMO, but the studio album is better than I remember. Lots of songs I'd forgotten all about (Winter, Silver Train, Hide Your Love) are actually really good. Also never noticed what a major contributor Bill Wyman was on that record: very melodic, tasty bass lines throughout. I'll say it again: to me, the Stones haven't sounded like the Stones since he retired. And of course the Brussel stuff is amazing.

Speaking of Real Gone Dicks: One thing thing that I'm pretty sure was just exactly as bad as I remember is 2020. I refuse to rise to the bait and try to list all the ways that **** failed to address the public health crisis that was killing thousands of Americans per day for months at a time. (Who has the time?) I'll just say this: if you're going say in the middle of a crisis "I take no responsibility," then you don't get to come back later and say "I want to take credit."

Giving 9 8 73 another try

No complaints

But

"Official release" worthy? Dick was keen on 9 8 73?

Ooooodd

Luckily we got the St. Louis box

12/26,27,28/70 Legion Stadium

Nappy, cool show, I've never heard these before. P.F., yeah these would make a great box set.

Crow

Thanks for finding the words. In it for a penny, in it for a pound.

Goats Head Soup

Check the liner notes on Goats Head. There ain't a Stones album from the Bill
Wyman era where he contributes less. Keith & Mick Taylor played bass on many
of the tracks. Apparently Wyman either wasn't invited those particular days or was
out sailing on his yacht ... An underrated effort by the Rolling Stones - last good
lp from the MIck Taylor era. Brussels is the live gold standard for the that line-up!

It’s Christmas

Not interested in the raving of haters on either side Trump or Biden/ Clinton

well said Crow

I love how you x'ed out its name lol.

Anniversary shows 12/27/79, 80, 81, 82,83

Big fun at the Oakland Auditorium and the S.F. Civic.

The Stones vs Mighty Baby

It;s a great album, Goats Head Soup - maybe not as funky as Exile, but the actual songs may be better in some respects. And The Brussels Affair is my favourite live album of theirs.

It's a pity Stones box sets always cost so much ( Black Sabbath's are even worse) When you compare the cost of a Stones box to the cost of, say, the 6 cd Mighty Baby retrospective, the latter works out about three times cheaper. And if you were to ask me which I played the most, the answer would be....The Mighty Baby.

Great Dead shows at Oakland December 1979. 12/26 and 12/28 are anyway. The 26th features maybe my favourite jam of theirs with Brent at the wheel.

The Stones Vs Mighty Baby

No contest. In my house Mighty Baby wins hands down. That's like Max Bygraves Vs Tom Jones.

Every so often...

I listen to So Many Roads release from...a while ago

I really like it

I would love another one like it

There must be a bunch of great music in shows that can't be released as full shows for whatever reasons

I'd buy it

Got a joke for ya

Anniversary show 12/28/79

42 years ago today , I was at the Oakland Auditorium for a killer show with the good ole Grateful Dead, what a blast!

Major jeally btk

I have good memories of that show on cassette.

Been a Long Time

Listened to 12/29/77 DP 10 all the way through for the first time in ages . That is some quality Wolf era '77. Terrapin Station really rocks on this one.

The Brussels Affair is great. Ladies and Gentlemen...The Rolling Stones is also an outstanding must have from the Exile Tour the previous year (best of 4 shows) released as a movie. There are a few different songs and a few better performances (check out Happy, Tumbling Dice, Bitch, Love in Vain, Sweet Virginia, and Dead Flowers on L&G). The Blu-ray sounds much better than the CD because it 's in 5.1 Surround Sound. I think Keith's vocals are bit better on L&G as well. The Brussels Affair on the other hand has a Midnight Rambler and Can't Always What You Want that may be the live GOATs; then there's Dancin' with Mr. D and Heartbreaker live, which I find more raw and exciting than the studio versions. I'm going back to back on these now....

Re: Major Jello

Agree.. what a run. I have fond memories of this show on CD.

Jug of Love

I went back to that Mighty Baby box set, and it really is superb. I can't think of any other British band that could jam as freely as this, without reverting to blues rock. If, having already got the signature albums, you passed this by, Simon, I highly recommend it. Great to hear so much of that Glastonbury set from 1971 that was featured on one side of that album all those years ago. Its not Daves Pick standard sound wise, but its infintley better than that side on the Glastonbury L.P.
I never saw them live - but I did see guitarist Martin Stone during his brief time with the Pink Fairies. It was 1976. I was 19. I don't remember a darned thing about it.

Dead of the day -3/17/68 from 30 Trips. Grrreat. Lovelight, when it still sounded fresh, kicks things off in fine style. I've only played the first two songs, so the best is yet to come.

Anniversary show 12/28/83 S.F. Civic

38 years ago today, I was at the S.F Civic for a knockout show with the Dead. I put this show on my top 10 list of Grateful Dead shows I've attended. December, what a great month for Grateful Dead shows, I think they could put out a box set of December Grateful Dead year end shows : 12/68, 12/69,12/70, 12/71, 12/72, 12/77, and on and on.

Looks like one of Peter Sinfield's pearls of wisdom - though I'm not sure he was on board that early on.
I do like the lyrics of some of the psych/prog rock bands from the late 60's early 70's. I was listening to the Tyrannosaurus Rex album "Prophets Seers and Sages The Angels of the Ages" yesterday - a sample of the words?-
"A cobra seer with the puntured ear
Slaughtered a Malayan Sun bear
Night stood erect with bronzen haunches
Zapped the seer gave the bear back to us."

Genius. They don't write 'em like that anymore.

Dave the Rock and lyrics

Reminded me a little the The Bewlay Brothers by Bowie.

Now there be some great lyrics they don't write anymore! :-)

Dennis - Bewley Brothers

That's a truly great song - one of Bowie's best. Both that, and the album that preceded it, "Man Who Sold The World" are full of strange and wonderful songs. I do like records that somehow manage to be both profound and absurd at the same time.

Phish had to cancel their NYE shows at MSG due to covid....

....but, lo and behold, they are going to play a 3 set show on NYE without an audience on their app and YouTube channel. Starts at 5:30 pm EST sharp.
Did I mention its free??
Pardon my French, but that's pretty fucking cool of the band. They remind me a lot of the Grateful Dead in that they just want to play. And appreciate their phans which is payed forward.
Oh, and it might snow in Vegas tomorrow lol.
