    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.

    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'!!!!!!!!!!!!

    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.

    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!

    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!!

    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.

    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!

At the end of that show, Bob W makes a comment in essence "on this date in 19??, in (somewhere), it rained fish".

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.

Please excuse my ignorance

Who is he?

One quick search later...

OH.

Three raisings of the glass to him. Salute!

I want the motorcycle he rode in the movie.

No disrespect, but aren’t you a little old to be auditioning for a stunt man role ; )
Be well amigo, HF too!

Look at the silver lining: enjoy that recliner and catch up on yer dead!

Tales of injuries. Rest up, rehab safely.

I've fallen on ice. Anything goes on the landing and rarely is it pretty. I can't say I've had my leg in a boot, but it's only a matter of time.

If there are any philatelists out there you might be interested to hear that in the UK the Royal Mail are issuing a set of commemorative stamps celebrating 60 years of live performances by The Stones. The earliest concert depicted is the free Hyde Park show from 1969 and the latest is from New Jersey in 2019.
They come out on 20th January.

Time heal all wounds, may yours heal quickly.
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.
