    You can listen to Grateful Dead records over and over again and never understand the attraction they have for certain people until you attend one of their concerts. Sometime during the Dead's usual five-hour set, it will all click: Jerry Garcia's Indian bead string of notes on the guitar, the ozone ooze of the vocal harmonies, the shifting, shuffling rhythm of bassist Phil Lesh and drummer Bill Kreutzmann, and the distant echo of the oldest of American folk music. - Columbia Flier

    "Certain people" will know that we're coming in hot with one that's got all these things and more, DAVE’S PICKS VOLUME 41: BALTIMORE CIVIC CENTER, BALTIMORE, MARYLAND, 5/26/77. Yes, there's still plenty of spectacular May '77 to go around. Nearly chosen for Dave's Picks Vol. 1, 5/26/77 delivers three-fold. There's one count for the energy - all the precision of the Spring tour conjuring up the raw power of the Fall tour that was to come. There's another for the setlist which featured beloved songs from WORKINGMAN'S DEAD and soon-to-be favorites from the freshly recorded TERRAPIN STATION. And a third for its element of surprise (or shall we say surprises) from an astonishingly peak 15-minute "Sugaree" to new delights ("Sunrise," "Passenger," "Jack-A-Roe') to a rare first-set finale of "Bertha" to the second set's "Terrapin>Estimated>Eyes," traveling leaps and bounds towards the improvisational journey that is a nearly 17-minute "Not Fade Away." 

    Limited to 25,000 numbered copies, DAVE’S PICKS VOLUME 41: BALTIMORE CIVIC CENTER, BALTIMORE, MARYLAND, 5/26/77 was recorded by Betty Cantor-Jackson and has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering. Grab a copy while you can.

    Love Pink Floyd

    My favorite band up until I attended my first Dead show.

    Animals is my favorite album but the first CD I ever bought was Saucerful of Secrets in 1987.

    Saw the trio in 87 and twice in 94, second night was complete DSOTM for Set2, same setlist as on the Pulse video.
    Saw Waters 4 times, 2007,10,12,17.

    Thanks, Dave!

    That's sort of what I was thinking would be a fairly typical response to what does seem to be a much more mainstream direction. Which is also why Echoes being the direct antecedent to Dark Side is so interesting, since one is an extremely exploratory song, the other an album of musical and lyrical coherence, but still retains aspects of Echoes. Also, quite funny how a lot of Floyd fans in the decades since are largely fans of DSOTM-The Wall, maybe even Division Bell, and quite a lot seem to passionately hate the more adventurous stuff. But then, maybe not so funny at all, since Deadhead camps exist where the Era Wars are real and ugly.

    Pre - post Dark Side Floyd

    I didn't see Pink Floyd until 1975, when they played a large outdoor festival at Knebworth. But I started buying their
    albums in 1972. The first one I got was the budget compilation " Relics" followed by "Meddle" and then "Umagumma". I loved these albums at the time, and they sat alongside albums of what has since become known as "space rock" - Hawkwind, Gong, Faust - the amazing Wolf City" by Amon Duul 2.

    My brother got Dark Side of the Moon almost as soon as it was available, and.....it was clearly a great album, but it didn't actually have the qualities I liked most about their earlier albums. It seemed like they had gone mainstream, in a way. Before Dark Side, they were very much a "head" band, and were seen, as I remember it, being quite avant- garde. Great spaced out epics like "Saucerful of Secrets" "Set The Controls For The Heart of The Sun" and Echoes". With Dark Side they seemed to become more of a straights band, singing about the grimness of modern life.

    They were nowhere near as much fun live as Hawkwind in the mid 70's. I can remember seeing Floyd live in 1977, in a huge air hangar - this was shortly after "Animals" had come out. Everybody was squatting awkwardly on the concrete for hours on end, and when the Floyd finally fired up, someone stood up. The bloke squatting next to me angrily shouted at them to sit down-and then turned to me and said "The Floyd deserve to be listened to." This was why punk happened.

    Hey Nappy, PF question for ya

    Since you mention seeing them on the AHM and Meddle tours, and thus being quite familiar with Floyd before they hit that mainstream success with DSOTM, I wonder if you recall what your initial impressions of DSOTM were. Gilmour in Classic Albums famously says he wishes he had the experience of being a music fan in 1973 hearing the album for the first time, since they had played most of the album for a year before it came out, then recording and re-recording them, then mixing, he feels he missed out. Especially interested in your take (and anyone else of that awesome era who remembers Floyd pre-DSOTM) on that evolution following Saucerful, AHM, Meddle, and Obscured.

    I have a decent collection of Floyd liberated boots from my days downloading from dimeadozen and Trader's Den, etc., pretty sure Hollywood Bowl was in there. I tried to get as many versions of Echoes as I could find. Loved that they brought it back for Wish You Were Here tour, plus Raving and Drooling and You Gotta Be Crazy, the pre-Animals Sheep and Dogs.

    DSOTM @ The Hollywood Bowl...

    I really wanted to go this show but...
    1) I was living off the road in between San Luis Obispo & Morro Bay working for the Cal Forestry
    2) I was a bit put off by the "commercial success" that allowed the band to play the Bowl (stupid, I know)...I had seen
    the previous two tours, Atom Heart Mother & Echoes at the much smaller Santa Monica Civic Auditorium
    3) Because of work I had to make a decision of seeing the PF gig or seeing GD do two nights at
    the Hollywood Palladium two weeks prior to the PF Bowl gig...a no brainer...

    4/24/70 (and 4/25?) Mammoth Gardens Denver, CO

    Researching my older sister's first (and only maybe) show as a surprise for her. She was 17 and tripping from the story I remember. We called the place Elitch Gardens by the name of the amusement park it was when the music outdoor garden part wasn't used so much anymore. Wasn't very big as I recall. Deadbase list this as two shows but I'm finding reviews of it as one show with a break in the tape at Man's World. Thought it unusual to have an acoustic/elec. set that ends in Drums on the first night and the second night starts with Dark Star?!? I could see it if they got rained out or something. Looks primal to me from the setlist(s). Any lore on this I can tell her? Thanks and cheers
    Edit: I was totally wrong on the location of the venue. Nothing to do with Elitch Gardens at all but a "Fillmore" on Clakson St. that started doing rock concerts in Spring 1970. This was maybe only the second show at that renamed refurbished venue. John Hammond opened and according to a newspaper article (Colo. Spgs. paper?) he was boring. But the reviewer had very high praise for this show. Also appears that there was only one night and it was 4/25/70.

I've seen Pearl Jam about a half-dozen times(give or take) going back to 1995(most recently in 2017), and I consider them a top shelf live act. I base this on a couple of factors: They ROCK HARD and mean it for a good 135 minutes easily. They change set lists every night. You always get some good stage banter from Eddie. Their audience is totally INTO IT!! They go nuts. I'd be shocked if you didn't come away with a feeling that you just saw a fantastic show.

Edit: Their first 4 albums are all top shelf, and #5 is pretty damn good. They lost the plot briefly, but they're back
in the saddle now, with the last 2 releases.

Last 5(I can't resist):

Patty Griffin-Silver Bell
Alan Parsons Project-The Instrumental Works
GOGD-5/17/77(Thanks Dennis!!)
Beaver & Krause-In A Wild Sanctuary
Julie Driscoll-1969

Music is the Best!!

I've seen PJ three or four times, and I agree, If you like big rock, you won't be disappointed. Not showey rock but good old fashioned loud rock. I don't know many of their songs, but I have loved every show I saw.

Hey Now, Haven’t posted since last April. Thank you all for the constant entertainment and good vibes as I view often. I have been bitten big time by the GD on vinyl the last couple of years and really want to find the Venetia Sunshine Daydream release on vinyl. It’s outrageously priced on eBay and other places. I don’t have the much sought after 73 bonus disk or the 68 one, but I have the other ten bonus CDs. Anyone want to work out a fair trade? Does anyone have any recommendations for another site or thread for potential trades. Pm if interested,thanks. Since this is aDaves thread, I have to say that I really like the last two picks. 39 not so much. 38 and bonus cd from last year are sweet!

Have an opportunity to see Bobby and the Wolf Bros. next week, any one seem them on this tour, last tour? Price is ok and it's only a 15 min drive. Planning a trip to the box office today or tomorrow so any thoughts would be appreciated. Been watching the set lists and guests showing up on Bob's facebook page, looks like a fun time had by all. Could very well be my last opportunity to see Bob and be with the tribe one last time. captcha says traffic lights and they are all green, interesting.

Simonrob - I had never heard of them before, apart from the fact that I think you may have referred to them in the past. Their name suggests vintage rocking music to me, though, so I checked them out online. They sound great...love that guitar sound, but they seem to tick all the boxes for up tempo blues and soul. If I ever work out how to verify my identity with itunes I might get me some.

The guitar player was Denny Freeman. He also played on Bob Dylan's "Modern times" and "Bootleg series, vol. 8" as well as loads of Texas sessions. Top player. Up tempo blues and soul describes The Cobras perfectly. The album I referred to, "Caught live at the Continental Club" was recorded in 1981 in Austin, TX.

Going downhill to the land of the midnight burrito...gonna see Taj Mahal tonight at the Musical Instrument Museum (Fabulous place by the way) and hit the music shops and a couple of Book stores I like in Phoenix where it will be 80 degrees instead of 48 degrees here at the edge of the world...It's the small things that matter after all...

yes yes yes on Denny Freeman...one of my favorite recordings that he's on is a live one, "I'm Gonna Move" by Hook Herrera...great playing on a killer blues set....while we're talkin' unsung guitarists, don't forget Danny Gatton...another cat who could play ANY style of tunes and rock them...Danny's wiki page starts with "Daniel Wood Gatton Jr. was an American guitarist who combined blues, rockabilly, jazz, and country to create a musical style he called "redneck jazz"... Sadly neither of these fine musicians are with us today....

As a sextet, the band is superb. Taj is backed by his old time rhythm section plus dobro, acoustic guitar, and Strat/ steel guitar. The man himself is unencumbered by guitar so he is free to let loose on vocals and harmonica. They did a nice Sittin' on Top of the World>C.C. Rider. When I saw him last fall, he was solo and seemed to be struggling a little bit.

He's still got game, and you will love it!

The Sex Pistols played Winterland in Jan of 1978, when they got off their bus to do a sound check on the afternoon of the show, Bill Graham was there to meet them. Sid Viscous was wearing a Swastika on his pants and when Bill Graham saw it he got really pissed off at Sid Viscous and got in his face and said " Is that supposed some kind of political statement. Take it off!" ! I heard the great photographer Michael Zagaris tell that story.

I would be happy to burn any bonus discs or any discs needed to complete a set or show. I have a decent collection of officially released material.

I think Danny Gatton is incredible too - well, it's beyond dispute. That record he plays on credited to Robert Gordon, entitled "The Humbler" features the most mindboggling rock n' roll playing I have ever heard.

I don't think Sid Vicious knew whether he was coming or going. And sadly he was going. I saw them live, before he joined, among many punk bands from 1976 to 1977 - but I never did hear "Never Mind The Bollocks". Those first 4 singles were blistering though. I can remember long haired types being offended by them at the time - which I never understood. I was a long haired type myself - and I thought they were great.

looooooser

NMTB was recorded with Glen Matlock, as I understand

anyway, it is one rocking record. lightning in a bottle.

He shouldn't even have been there. He wasn't a musician in any way. His only claim to fame was being friends with John Lydon and for beating up NME journalist Nick Kent and Old Grey Whistle Test presenter Bob Harris. An absurd and extreme example of how behaving badly somehow means you are "rock n' roll".
It's hard not to feel sorry for him though - poor bugger. He was a terrible influence, all things considered - other people starting acting like him, which made punk gigs a bit of a no go zone for sincere and peaceful hairies like me.

Isn't he the amazing guitarist who died young? Wait, that could be anybody. But what I do remember is some guy shredding on guitar while playing it with an open bottle of beer as a slide? Even some sloshing as I recall. Couldn't that get one electrocuted? Gone too soon, that one.

Sad to hear of the passing of underrated trumpeter Ron Miles at 58. Miles (you couldn’t have a better jazz name!) was a frequent collaborator with Bill Frisell, and his “I Am A Man” LP is a tour de force IMHO. No one except Putin should die at 58, but real sorry to hear this one.
There has got to be one great band “up there”.

I an SO sorry to hear that news. I only got to see Ron in person twice. in 2007, he was with Bill Frisell at the Village Vanguard. And just before COVID, he played a show at the Kennedy Center in D.C.(The show was titled "I Am A Man" and Bill Frisell was in the band as well).
I only have 3 of his albums, but I like all 3. Perhaps I shall seek out the others(although I know some of them are rare and expensive).

New Zappa box being delivered today!! Sorry everyone, I'll be pretty busy this weekend.

Music is the Best!!

That is great you got to see (hear?) Ron Miles play, and with Frisell, too! I always had him on my “to see” list. I thought he was a really passed over player, not flashy, but really had a tone that hit the spot. I think I have maybe 5 of his CDs, but he is on numerous Frisell ones (funny how some musicians can attract great side players on their albums, and Frisell is one of them - Ron Miles and Greg Liesz being two examples - likely due to his producer Lee Townsend). A tremendous talent lost, and if you happen on his discs, they are worth the listen.

Your words are so true Mr Ones: Music is the best!

I need to revisit those '73 shows too Nitecat. Glad to hear a couple of people going to the Rhine show too.
I've been into those two "Doc" shows lately, where Jerry breaks out the Les Paul 8/14 & 8/15, 1971. The Other One from 8/14 is really one of my favorite post-primal versions, largely in part from the tone of the Les Paul; but it's also a no-nonsense wallowing of a rocker.

Seattle 5/21/74 was one of the things I took with me for my ride down to Phoenix yesterday...that 45 minute PITB just kills me...I also played St Louis 12/10/71 (just disc 3)...Had a great shopping trip today, loaded up on some new books, music and of course I brought home the to die for BBQ!!! My Honey just loves burnt ends! And aside from the previously mentioned tunes I played my last five would be

Sonny Sharrock - Seize The Rainbow
Keith Richards & The Expensive Winos - Live In London '93
Rod Piazza & The Mighty Flyers - Blues In The Dark
Los Lobos Live In Arden DE 3/11/22 (great sounding Aud from the Live Music Archive)
Taj Mahal & The Phantom Blues Band - Shoutin' In Key (Live)

One of the things I got today but ran out of time to hear is John Hammond - Wicked Grin Live In Bremen 2002, that'll be first thing tomorrow...and BTK I just DL'ed that 3/18/67 show you mentioned...that will be second thing tomorrow!!!

Great "new" Son House cd delivered to my house this morning - a previously unreleased show from 11/23/64. Top sound quality, and full of the raw incantatory power of latter day Son at his best. Like many musicians/artists I like, he seemed to exist in a dimension of his own. He won't come out to meet you - you have to go in to meet him.

Just like this little lot, that kept me amused yesterday
Tago Mago by Can
So Far by Faust
Carnival in Babylon by Amon Duul 2
Live at the Roundhouse 2/13/72 by Man
Live at the Roundhouse 2/13/72 by Hawkwind

Words of poetry often pop into my head at unexpected moments, and watching Putin address his fans yesterday on the box, I was reminded of these wise words, by the bard of Salford, John Cooper Clarke -
"What kind of creature bore you,
Was it some kind of bat?
They can't find a good word for you,
But I can.....
Twat."
With apologies to any bats that might be reading. And all those people waving flags. I wouldn't trust any society that didn't encourage and enjoy a culture of dissent within it's ranks.

3-18-67 is an excellent start. Why not another '66 show, 3-18-67, a '68 show and, boom! That's 3 CDs, so it could be a DP or a standalone. Talk about documenting the band's evolution! From advanced garage band to psychedelic hydra, a 66-68 compendium would create a killer document. And probably cause me to knock back a stem or two....

The OSF just posted in the past 24 hours, check it out. They are mowing through the unlabeled tapes now and just disccovered a June 1968 performance and it sounds like a scorcher. (Doh!)

Dave, could you ensure that this tape is swiftly released as a special project? Ala the 4-18-70 tape that came from Mtn Grrrl's closet?

This particular find may just well break the logjam on primal Dead releases. At least, the news itself is making my day. A new '68 tape found in the unlabeled reels Owsley left. Bad ass!

I knew they were going to find GD tapes in his stash. As for 1968, wow. Honestly, I lump fall 67 with 68. It's all good to me.

Thank you for making my day. Owsley? 1968? As George Costanza said once, "It moved".
Now back to your regularly scheduled March Madness.

Wow, okay, I'm resorting to all caps and making wholly unrealistic demands. That's concerning, except, on the other hand, what do you expect from a foaming-at-the-mouth '68 fan? (Hand me a bib...)

The GD's portion of this newly discovered tape (no word on whether Musselwhite was recorded) runs ~110 minutes or two discs. (Yes, mentally, I'm already in the production phase for DP 43... ) Tack on another '68 show of <80 minutes and I won't need DP 44.

Okay, then, wrestling with my own thoughts after the OSF folks typed "newly discovered" and "68" in the same sentence. Busting out the officially released '68 shows later...
