    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.

    First, Last, Loudest

    First live show: The Sound of Music at the Lunt-Fontaine in NYC, probably 1963, with my parents.

    First rock show: Allman Bros. at Roosevelt Stadium in Joisy City, 6-6-74. Dad took us.

    First unsupervised trip to NYC for a show: Frank Zappa at the Felt Forum, Halloween (early show), 11-31-75.
    Little did the folks know that they were releasing the beast. Oh, yeah.

    Loudest: A tossup between Aerosmith, 12-16-76 at MSG (and I saw pretty much every big-name act at the Garden between late '75 and Aug. '77), and The Who, 10-6-16, at the Santa Barbara Bowl (5th row left, in front of the PA).

    Last show before Covid: Ricky Skaggs, 3-9-20

    First show after "back to normal": Pat Metheny, 9-29-21

    Most recent should-have-been: Dave Grisman (cancelled), 11-11-21

    Most recent: the Immediate Family, 11-6-21

    Next up: Bela Fleck, 12-15-21.

    Who do I look like? I have been told that am Roy Buchanan's doppelganger, but to me I just look like sad, old Chevy Chase.

    The Faces in October 1973. I still think they were one of the all-time great bands, and it still kind pisses me off that Rod Stewart decided he’d rather go make disco records with a bunch of studio hacks rather than rock with Ronnies Wood and Lane, not to mention Kenny Jones and Ian Maclagan. What a band. The coulda shoulda woulda given the Stones a run for their money.

    Loudest was probably Meat Puppets circa 1994. This was in a small-ish club, and I think at that time they were touring as an opening act for Stone Temple Pilots, so their equipment was probably waaaay too loud for the room. It’s the only show I can ever remember where it was so painfully loud that I had to go outside and a take break mid-show. Couldn’t hear shit for days.

    I think the last thing I saw before everything shut down was Titus Andronicus. Seems like a million years ago.

    Poor young grandson, there’s nothing I can say, you’ll have to learn just like me, and that’s the hardest way.

    Nappy, last, and loudest

    First, happy, happy, joy, joy to good ole Nappy! Many more good sir!
    Hellava start: Airplane/Dead in 67, boo-yah!

    LAST: Gary Clark jr. Fall 2019, Nat Rateliff and the Nightsweats fall 2019, D&C Boulder summer 2019.
    Had tix for D&C 2920, and Phil fall 2021 but didn’t feel comfortable yet so got refund.
    Still waiting to for that cup to be filled…

    LOUDEST: LOL. Some of the bands I played in were pretty loud, not good, but loud!
    Gray Matter we basically had late 70s Dead stage gear only in little hole in the wall dives. We played a battle of the bands once and first song was Deal. Just as were peaking out on it we blow the power. Now this is at a R&R club that hosted many acts including the popular well known but now lesser drawing kind of acts. So the infrastructure was much more than a typical bar. But with all those MC2300s and a big PA when we hit that big crescendo on the outro, complete with bass bomb, we’ll boom boom out went the lights. Sound guy was flummoxed “do you really need all those amps” LOL.

    Working for some pretty loud hard rock bands too. Eventually we realized that we should ware protection so got some Norton Sonic 2s: sonic filters that protect but still let you actually hear the music. They were a little bass heavy though so we modified them by sticking a booger sized piece of duct tape in the opening. Much more even frequency response which is crucial if your mixing, especially monitors where you need to hear harmonics and other tells BEFORE things start to feedback. Great product, wish I still had them though I’m not in loud situations much anymore.
    90-95 dB peaks on the home system is plenty loud for this old timer. BITD that would of been more like 100 dB plus lol. But hey, it was good clean Mac power!

    The Who 12/4/79 was way too loud. They were I believe using a Meyers PA even before the Dead did full time, but they weren’t using it properly: way too shrill!
    Over the years many situations that made it loud, but my all time most notable was the Dead on 5/17/81, smoking show! I ride a bus myself, scored a ticket at the last minute, walked in, never looked at my ticket, just saw an opening in the third row, boom.
    Well they were still using Clair Brothers PA with the big square boxes, but they were stacked on the ground, not hung. So my seat was way left near the end of the row, which was just mere feet away from the PA. Also, JG was trying out the new McIntosh MC 2500 that was replacing the 2300s. (Probably since Binghamton was very near)
    He didn’t use them very long so I’m wondering if they were too much for his needs? He stuck with the 2300s decades after they stopped making them.
    Man was he screaming loud that night, you can really tell on a good Aud tape. So combine that with my proximity to the PA and, well, I’m lucky I didn’t do permanent damage as my ears rang for several days afterward. The worst part was I had my first collage final the next day and couldn’t hear the Proff give the directions at all, just ringing!
    I think it’s a testament to clean loud versus dirty loud. Your ears can tolerate clean loud easier than all that distortion cranked to 11. But they’ll also get damaged without you necessarily knowing it right away due to lack of pain from the distortion. A quieter distorted sound while damage your ears way quicker than a louder clean one!

    Not sure about loudest but worst was the Stones at a stadium show late 70s, perhaps early 80s?
    As was often the case with the big stadium shows back then, after the first 3 to five acts, and after the headliner had started you could just walk in. But it was so loud and terrible sounding we left even though it was free! You could hardly tell what song they were playing. Always left a bad vibe for me about the Stones: just another way they (to me) were sell outs. High ticket prices but shitty sound, very opposite the Dead!

    GarciaLive 17 just landed and it looks tasty. I caught that band at Seton Hall University in South Orange, NJ, on 17 Sept '76 and man, everyone in the hall was blasted on blow that night. Or at least it seemed that way to the white-wallers I went with. The floor was open and absolutely everyone was twirling (or swirling, in our case). The band seemed to be tooting as well and the "songs" were 10-15 minute excursions apiece. All just minutes from my childhood home... And we'd seen 3-4 GD shows that June in Boston and the Capitol in lovely Passaic, NJ.

    First, Latest, Loudest

    The aforementioned Culture Club in 1983 was my first. I lived a few hours from the Twin Cities, so I missed a lot of shows I would have loved to have seen. I was 13 at that show, and my friend's older sister drove us to the show. I can't believe my parents allowed it; they were pretty strict.

    Latest--I have seen some great string quartets lately, and went to Adam Meckler Orchestra (groovy big band) recently. Those shows were all outdoors or required proof of vaccination and masks. Things are going badly here in MN right now, as far as Covid goes, so I've skipped a few shows recently. And I just can't bring myself to pay more than about $30/ticket anymore, when so much amazing classical and jazz is inexpensive or free, and at those shows one can sit in a beautiful 300-person (or less) theater with no lines for anything. Other than Dark Star, I think my live rock-n-roll days are behind me, and I'm only 51!

    Loudest--everything at First Ave. is TOOOO loud, so I've walked out of shows there. I left a Living Colour concert there once when I couldn't discern any notes or lyrics . . . just a painful smoosh of noise. I think I left a Blues Traveler show there once . . . And my wife and I walked out of Yonder Mt. String Band at First Ave.; somehow they couldn't even leave the volume down for acoustic music. :( My friend used to practically LIVE at First Ave. back in the day, and now he's been battling tinnitus for years.

    Too many to remember but I do remember physical pain to the point where I was using my taller friend as a shield and even squatting down a couple of times when it got intense. Couldn't even find a tissue or something to plug my ears. Good thing it was an open air show!
    You guessed it GD 7-08-78. You can hear one of those moments during Ship of Fools. Jerry scorched me! But that can happen when you play with fire. No regrets and no permanent damage and only now losing some hearing on one side.
    My first tape of this show taken from the Italian bootleg CD has a better take on this than the box set CD. You can really hear the amps buzzing loudly before the start of the second set. That CD came out in '95-'96 on Red Robin (?) so was that some of the Betty's from ABCD leaking out? Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks
    Cheers all!

I just now saw on a news source that it rained fish in Texarkana today or maybe yesterday

1). A.P. Carter, 2). Hank Williams., 3), Merle. Haggard, 4). Johnny Cash. My last choice was a tough one, I was going between. Johnny Cash , Buck Owens, and Dolly Parton, all 3 of them could have been there in that spot. "Drink all day, and rock all night"!

Good idea ! Jimmie Rodgers made some beautiful records too. I remember reading somewhere that Howlin' Wolf was so impressed that he attempted to imitate his yodelling. He came nowhere close, but in missing the mark he created his own inimitable sound.

I don't always listen to country, but when I do it's usually Gram Parsons. Burritos, Byrds, solo albums, it's all great, even the lowest of lo fi boots.

Not sure who else would be on my Rushmore. Johnny Cash, I reckon. Merle fer sure. Beyond that, a lot of the "country" I like is stuff most people probably consider bluegrass. Bill Monroe. Tony Rice.

Last five would be approximately something like:

DaP 17

ABB: Raleigh 2003

Ty Segall: Harmonizer

Roy Hargrove: The Vibe

Christian McBride: Live at the Village Vanguard

Also some Dvorak symphony, can't remember wut number but it was pretty pretty gud.

I like the Gram Parsons albums, too. Which for me lead on to the first 4 or 5 Emmylou Harris albums. Part of the attraction of those, for me, is the guitar playing of James Burton and Albert Lee. A lot of the country music I have I got by accident - tracks cropping up on what I thought were rockabilly compilations. In terms of categorisation, I guess these would be called hillbilly. A lot of crossover between those two.

It seems its impossible to listen to one record, from any genre, from any period, without it leading on to further records-and so on, without end, into infinity. Which could be why I don't go out much. That and Covid.

Oh yea.. Talk about a band that ended too soon, and Graham Parsons, what was and what could have been.

Love the Burritos, too bad they couldn't have put out more music. And Tony Rice, when I first heard him I was floored. I went down that rabbit hole for about a month without coming out. As we know, Jerry liked him too and we've got the vinyl to prove it (technically the clear polycarbonate plastic substrate that is a CD).

Longtime traveler (10/1/76 the first}, and still hear new stuff (to me) that surprises me. Brent's "Don't Ned Love" on this week's JOTW. That is why I love that section and the Taper's: these snippets are nice, short interludes to break up the day, and from shows I've mostly not attended nor have heard. Good training for 30 DoD also !!

I am 69,000% on board with that Dick's Pick's 3 Sugaree...it is absolute, pure near-banjo pickn' bliss; it is definitely my all time favorite. What's interesting is if you go and listen to the version they played just before that version (it was on a later Dick's Pick's double feature...can't remember which number), but THAT version of Sugaree is a clear prototype to the 5/22/77 version, just not as spot-on and tightly played. You hear several similar runs from Jer, just slightly tweaked so when they go and do it on the 22nd it is like the pure, polished version. I love that shit.

Dick's Picks 3 is perhaps the greatest setlist of all of 77, if it were indeed released as the full show. We've debated this many times before but it always sticks with me now that I am familiar with that entire full setlist; it had never occurred to me it was a chop job but that's the benefit of this here team, keeping everyone on top of this important, life-altering knowledge.

Be Well People.

The only criticism I have of this show which amounts to revisionist history is I wish they had played the Lady with a Fan segment of the Terrapin earlier in the jam and made a sandwich out of it:

Estimated>Lady With A Fan>Eyes>Wharf Rat>Terrapin Reprise>Dew

Just a little fantasy of mine. I always thought a little interlude in the "his job is to shed light not to master" jam there would be way cool.

Doesn't the Eyes of the World on this one have a decent amount of distortion, wow and flutter at some point? I'd love to somehow get rid of that if it's even possible. There's a bunch of these older Dicks Picks (and Warlocks 89) that would probably benefit from a remaster. Jeffrey Norman has gotten better over the years...

To Terrapin: Hartford '77 was my first "monster Sugaree", clocking in at around19:30. Didn't think they could top that, but years later I picked up DP 3, and Jerry just rips through the solos, as advertised. That's really the X factor in my mind, because all of the solos are great in those '77 versions (basically); but there is definitely some extra rocket sauce on DP 3. I just gave them both a re-visit to make sure my story checks out. Yep, DP 3 still has more cowbell. Thanks for the reminder guys.

For a different take on Sugaree I really really like the 7 minute E72 versions with Pigpen's Hammond (4/17 is a good one). As Elwood would say - Strong stuff!

Totally with you on the remasters Jim. I would especially like to hear Dick's 7, 19, 24, and 31, (and 35, although I'm not sure how much they can do with those houseboat tapes - I hear distortion on a lot of those tunes). Here's to wishing.

I prefer Hartford to DP3 on that Sugaree. Not sure why, but it just hits the spot for me a bit more, maybe the slower pace. And who would expect 20 min of Sugaree as the longest song of the night? But as May '77 wound down, that's what happened on a few occasions, and in a few weeks, we get another one of those with DaP 41 Baltimore 5/26/77, though it's "just" 15 min in Baltimore and NFA beats it out by almost 2 min, though completely different beasts as NFA is its typical rock rave up, where Sugaree is such an oddly swung song that just lopes along until it explodes at the end, though Jerry is absolutely killing the first extended solo before the power chords of May '77 come into play. Just reinforcing why I love May '77 so much. Songs that were good, solid songs just had a new intensity. I love Jack Straw '71-74, but after a year off, it gets more intense as May trucks along. Tennessee Jed is another one that gets some extra oomph as the tour goes along (my favorite is probably 5/21/77 from DP29 where Jerry employs the MuTron to spice up the solo). Also, so glad we get yet another Terrapin, never enough of those. And High Time. And Jack a Roe. We're a lucky bunch, even if some complain about the wealth of May '77 releases. I'm already more pumped about the first two Dave's of this year than all four of last year's Picks.

And if they were able to re-release DP3 (and some others that were partials) as a full show, I'd happily grab it up.

Edited to add: Funny enough, the only Terrapin Station I've caught with Phil and Friends or other Dead offshoots was the Inspiration part as on DP3, which, I believe, is the only time they did that, and I'm not sure that Phil and Friends ever did just the Inspiration part again, but it was fantastic and so unexpected. Even moreso as it had a Spanish/Arabic feel to it, perhaps transposed to a Phrygian mode?

....if Jerry was still alive, he would give him a standing ovation. Then join him onstage. I marvel at that possible alternate timeline. Thang.
And regarding Sugarees, no one has mentioned 10.18.83 Lake Placid first set opener? Shame.

Well been sitting here thinking...ouch...about eleven days ago I took a bad spill on some ice on my driveway...did a half split and ended up flat on my back with my right leg straight out and unfortunately my left leg pinned under me...the top of my left foot was on the ground and i was laying on top of my heel...For the first minute laying on the ground I was like a turtle on it's back...I finally was able to roll over and get up...got back in the car and drove (about five minutes) to our local medical clinic...x-rays showed no breaks anywhere but I had a lot of soft tissue damage...my toes are purple. my leg from just above my thigh on down was pretty much beat up from being stretched way out of shape...still pretty sore, especially my knee...if it doesn't get better by next week I'll have to go into Flagstaff and get an MRI, see if anything got torn...I've had two surgeries in the past on that knee (Miniscus repair)....the Mrs condemmed me to my LazBoy where I've beenb happily listening to various goodies...I don't mend as well as I used to of course...ok back to our regularly scheduled programming....

to you Nappy. You must be made of rubber with that description of how you ended up laying there. Sounded quite contorted. I can't believe you didn't hurt your back too. It brought back memories of my knee dislocation in my 20's hitting a tree skiing at speed. Knee replaced in my mid-50s and doing great now. Best of luck and double mask if you go to the hospital. Just got through a round of that with the wife.

Michael Lang and thanks for the memories. Woodstock was the one that started it all for me, before woodstock, I was a am radio listening kid who had been kept in the dark about rock music. After Woodstock, I could not get enough and had to hear it all and see as many of these great bands as I could.

Thought this DaP 40 board was gone, missed a ton of stuff the last few weeks apparently.

Country, you said? Too many, but here's a few: George Jones(greatest Country vocalist imo), Connie Smith, Sara Carter, Anita Carter, Delmore Brothers, Roy Acuff, etc
Regarding the Burritos, their first LP after they fired Gram is a classic from start to finish.

I hope everyone is good. Sorry for your Fall nappyrags.

I am also looking forward to 5/26/77. Never heard that one. Truth be told I am just now getting to Listen To The River 10/30/73. Has anyone been talking about the Playing in the Band? This is what it's all about.

I saw some Rolling Stones talk on here from a couple weeks ago. Live early 70s from Brussels and Texas. I will also suggest picking up the Sticky Fingers Super Deluxe box for live '71. It comes with Get Yer Leeds Lungs Out, Live at The Roundhouse,, and Live at the Marquee. Micky T is the best. Speaking of Taylor, I had the most incredible experience listening to his last studio record, Only Rock and Roll. I always thought it was an average album compared to its predecessors. After all the Stones talk I listened to everything from Beggars Banquet onward and Only Rock 'N Roll never sounded better. I probably have heard this record100 times over the years, but I downloaded the remaster and gave it a go. Side one does not have a weak song. If You Can't Rock Me, Ain't Too Proud To Beg, It's Only Rock 'N Roll, Till the Next Goodbye, and then the side ends with Time Waits For No One, which has some of the best lead work on a Stones record. Even the title track caught me like it was the first time hearing it. Taylor does not play on that song, but shit, listen to Keith. He's always credited with being the riff master (as he should be) but Keef had some great solos too. Anyways side 2 loses some of the magic, but Dance is a hot rock with blistering lead by Mick. I may like it as much as Goats Head Soup now. Will check back in next month.

Bear Family's 6cd "The Sun Country Box" features some gems. Well known names are featured almost as an afterthought, and then with unissued takes -it's not a "best of". As it says in the excellent book enclosed in the box, " An unissued alternative take of a vintage SUN recording is worth many times it's weight in Hot 100 mush." Amen to that. But its the unknown,or little known names that shine brightest. Welcome to the world of Harmonica Frank Floyd.
2022 marks the 70th annivrsary since SUN opened it's doors for the first time, too.

That "Sticky Fingers" box is great, too. The Leeds University gig is up there with Brussels and the Ladies and Gentlemen set from 1972 in my eyes. The bonus disc, featuring outtakes from the parent album and a few songs from the Roundhouse in March 1971 is one of my favourite single Stones cds. Great "Brown Sugar" with Eric Clapton, and extended "Bitch" on here.

And lest it be forgot,country music was a vital ingredient in The Stones gumbo.

On the mend, doing ok...slow and easy does it...the pains in my knee are almost gone...Yay! again thanks...oh, also having troubles with my PC....on it's last legs...took me forever to log in and post here....

I turned on my old iPod today for the first time in a while and listened to:

‘Bubblegum’ - Mark Lanegan
I particularly like the track ‘Methamphetamine Blues’.
‘Sweetheart of the Rodeo’ - The Byrds
For an old atheist I do enjoy ‘The Christian Life’
‘Burial’ - Burial
Wikipedia describes this as dubstep and who am I to argue. I just know I like it.
‘Exile on Coldharbour Lane’ - Alabama 3
Their first album containing what became the theme music for The Sopranos. This also has an idiosyncratic take on the John Prine song ‘Speed of the sound of loneliness’ and this led me to…
‘Other Voices, Other Rooms’ - Nanci Griffith
… for another version of the song. She had a great voice. I have the John Prine version, but not on the iPod.

Perhaps the preceeding spam will have been deleted, making this title totally obscure, hilarious to see that the automated opening page of dead.net transposes and so showcases spam like that.

A belated Happy New Year to all and my everlasting thanks to the good doctor eleven way down there in the sunshine, whose magic goes way beyond music... it has not gone above zero in the last few days here in Vermont. This is when I hover near the woodstove, listen with good headphones, music room cooler than cool.
