    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.

    From the Bobby & The Midnites File

    Jeff “Skunk” Baxter has his first (!) solo album coming out this June. A great guitarist from those early Steely Dan releases and session player extraordinaire. I’m really looking forward to this one. His connection to Bobby & the Midnites? He played in concert with them, but never was an official member.

    Proudfoot - I agree 100% about vinyl being overrated.

    VGuy - One of my adult kids is visiting me from out west, and I can never have enough bad Dad jokes, so keep ‘em coming!

    PS - Congrats to the phenom from Arizona Auston Matthews for hitting 50 goals! You are a phenomenal player.

    PPS - A dozen Scarlet Begonias to Mary E for all she selflessly does so well for all of us here! Cheers Mary!

    Vinyl-- when cds came out in the mid-1980s, I got on board and haven't looked back. I never had much success with records and record players. It seemed I was always in need of a new needle or some other issue with it. I can have crisper sound and listen for 80 minutes without having to get off the couch. No contest. The only thing I miss is the bigger artwork.

    Dead and Company tour-- this is the first year that I am probably going to pass entirely. They truly are too slow. The only appeal is getting together with a lot of like-minded people and having a fine time listening to familiar tunes. Now, if Billy and the Kids come around, sign me up. Like Hendrixfreak, I am looking forward to Tedeschi Trucks and Los Lobos in Chicagoland in July. They switched to all GA from a reserved seating setup. I still need to procure tix, but it doesn't appear to be a problem yet. Still working on companions.

    One show note-- I played the Arrowhead 7/1/78 show (again, those cowboy faces must have melted that day) and listened for the first time to the Space. Is that Phil getting weird on vocals? I usually skip D/S as it is not my bag, but that is a good one.

    I found myself about to go to a local show on Wednesday(not sold out/tickets available at the door). I then realized that I was really only going to check off a box on my "unseen bands" list. When it occurred to me that I would likely not have the best of times(standing up for 3-4 hours), I decided not to go. I too like small venues, audiences tend to be more respectful at small venues(but not always!!). So, I saved $40.00(DAVEROCK, I can spend that on CDS!!, I like the way you think!). My list of Artists/Bands I will continue to pay to see is getting smaller all the time.

    Re: "albums"- I was quite surprised to see that the cost of a "normal' L.P. today-say $20-$25 bucks-is not that far off when you account for inflation, but I agree, all these other price points are silly, and the manufacturers know that us "collectors" ain't gonna be around forever!! They are really milking the cow.
    When records was all I had, I thought nothing of getting up every 2-3 minutes(single) or 17-20 minutes(L.P.) Now, it seems so odd to me, and I bought my first "45" in 1965!! How times have changed.

    By the way, the band I was going to see were Brian Jonestown Massacre(because 16 years ago, they cancelled the gig about 2 hours before showtime, typical for them at that time). I didn't find out until I was driving to the venue.

    Music is the Best!!

    Just getting over the Dark Star on the third '72 night and now contemplating the '73 shows in the "Listen" box. And randomly pulling E72 shows off the shelf to power my workouts. A troubling juxtaposition, to say the least.

    As for the symphonic Jerry tribute, Wolf Bros. and D&Co, zero interest at my end, even if a friend offered to gift me a tic. Oh, what age will do! Just have to have a very compelling reason to wade into a crowd of more than a hundred (often incessantly talking) people. Give me a band just exploding with energy, like the top performing band in thid country for years: Tedeschi & Trucks. And give me the funkiest band of bros to open: Los Lobos. And bring 'em here to the Rocks for two nights: yeah! Two more years and I'll have done 50 years at the Rocks. Better than 50 years making little ones out of big ones, I say.

    P.S. "Was Garcia a good guitarist?" Absolutely not. Garcia was one of the 20th century's most innovative and versatile guitarists who could (and did) play with anybody and everybody. He achieved greatness, musically, while also becoming an unwitting and irascible global icon, along with Elvis and James Brown and Jimi Hendrix. If a sacred, colorless, odorless liquid had anything to do with it, so be it.

    There was some talk the other day on one of the forums about ‘Schools Out’ by Alice Cooper and this reminded me that it was in the UK charts the year I left secondary school, 1972. This is 50 years ago so it also reminded me how old I am! I went for a nostalgic last 5 featuring LPs I owned while still in school. This obviously limited my selections because I didn’t have much money back then.

    ‘The Madcap Laughs’ - Syd Barrett
    ‘Blue’ - Joni Mitchell
    ‘Songs of Love and Hate’ - Leonard Cohen
    ‘Unicorn’ - Tyrannosaurus Rex
    ‘II’ - Led Zeppelin

    Simon Rob - I was horrified when album prices went up to 19/11 the first few that I bought were a mere 17/6.

The last Dead show I listened to was the Fillmore Acid Test from 1/8/66. And watched, too-I got it on a dvd-r of it a few years ago called "Can You Pass The Acid Test?" It's a fascinating historical document-and features complete, or almost complete versions of The Dead playing "King Bee", "Caution" and "Death Don't Have No Mercy." Pretty good sound quality and picture - taking into account the fact that it was recorded and filmed by people tripping their brains out 56 years ago. Bit of conflict between The Dead - well, Pigpen - and the Pranksters. He is clearly losing patience with their shenanigans.

Have you tried emailing DL?
I don’t have his address but I know some folks on here do.
He might not be able to tell you if/when that would get released, but he could perhaps inform you as to the status of the tapes for that show. Like: “sorry dude, no tapes for that one” so at least you’d know that.
Just a thought, hate to see how much it’s driving you nuts ; )

Just returned from sunny SoCal and four days at the Festival in Ventura fairgrounds. What fun we had! The entire four days were streamed for free on Relix youtube. I hope some of you dug the stream of DSO Saturday night headliners (two sets) and Phil & F Sunday headliners. The stream is still up. DSO performed the entire Empire Pool 5/8/72 with an awesome second set DS>Sugur Mag> Caution! Caution is pretty rare these days, a really good one. I swear, when Phil came on, it transformed the entire crowd. They were all up and shakin' it.

Another highlight was Thursday's acoustic performance by RECKONING, featuring Rob Eaton, John Kadlecik, Rob Barraco & Skip Vangelas.

One lowlight was a long delayed (technical issues) performance by Oteil and Friends. Took them at least 45 minutes to come on, and then they played a really short set, with sound issues.

Many moments over the four days sent shivers down my back, as these were my first outdoor shows in 2 years!

Ha.. post of the week, "Surely a missed opportunity."

I believe my source is correct on the 9-19-72 show missing the first reel. The odds of it showing up in the OSF mystery pile are at least a rational hope, in that Owsley recorded the shows just before and after it. (Maybe entire fall '72 tour?)

Not really going nuts, just yelling into the void, hoping serendipity calls back...

Roosevelt Stadium in September 1972. What a good way to start Hendrixfreak. You definitely were at some great shows. I got my start at 15 as well. In 1986 at the Metrodome in Minneapolis. Dylan, the Dead and Petty. I can guarantee you nobody will ever be clamoring for this show to be released.

First I got inundated with WD, AB and S&R for a year, then my older brother included me on a ride to that fateful 9-19-72 show.

Get this: after about 3 hours of the GD blasting away, I felt like they'd done their job, delivered a great show and ... okay, time to wrap it up, this kid's getting tired (was not tripping, but had some hash). Thanks boys, great show, etc.

Well, the band went on for another hour! What I'd give to experience that very show NOW!

P.S. Always sorry I missed Petty in concert. Never turned down a ticket, just didn't seek him out. My loss.

Great cover there, those cables under the ship, electricity under wall water? Dangerous! Interesting though all to brief piece Space Guitars by Mark Kaufman on Mashable, mentions of Jimi and Jerry and esp Buddy Holly (check out those shoes) who first broke the Strat wide open. Nice to know there's a chunk of Jimi's pyromania from Monterey at the Met!

I'm not sure I would have liked the Dead live, had I seen them in 1972, when I was also 15. The bands I saw and liked then were a world away, much heavier, more dramatic.. much shorter shows, too ! I suppose the bands I liked mirrored the time, place and state of mind that I found myself in. But it was only a temporary phase - by 19 I had expanded my horizons, and the Dead sound tracked that. On record, obviously. But it never really struck me as teenage music, in quite the same way as Hawkwind, Black Sabbath or David Bowie - for example, did.

Talking Heads - The Name Of This Band Is Talking Heads
The Carpenters - Now & Then
Huey Lewis & The News - Fore!
Molly Tuttle - Broken Tree
Obscura - Omnivium

I have a paper copy of GD Almanac, Winter 2004.
On page 10 is the back catalog of CD’s.

Dick’s Picks 1-32 were available:
1 CD $13
2 CD’s $18
3 CD’s $21
4 CD’s $25
6 CD’s $33

Assuming that those prices stayed the same for DP 33-36, the total cost for DP 1-36 new factory sealed would have been $778 for 112 CD’s.

Terrapin Limited was $39.50 for 3 CD’s.
Dozin’ At The Nick was $23 for 3 CD’s.
Closing of Winterland $27 for 4 CD’s, $29.95 for 2 DVD’s.
Downhill From Here $30 for 1 DVD.

on those random numbers, also consider that not all that long ago (but more than a few years), there were periodic sales on dead.net, often around July 4th and a couple other dates like Thanksgiving, significant discounts were available, free shipping, sometimes on almost every bit of music/video in catalog. Swag was rare. As well, one could find almost anything on the secondary market at very reasonable cost.

....Twilight was a treasure.
Happy Easter and Passover everyone!
I favor the '89 show from that box. Grate stuff.
Speaking of dead.net sales, I recall scoring Dicks 26-30 for under a hundred bucks.
I literally stole them.
The stamp cover series.
Now, dead.net puts out overpriced trash 80% of the time. Sorry, not sorry.
I do enjoy the glasses though.
A 1989 box would be just fine. That was my most prevalent year. Sign me up. Include Cal Expo please.
It's got a Playin' -> Rider. And a second set Cumberland.

Yes indeedy...Cumberland was out of Crazy Fingers and the Playin' > Know You Rider was a mind boggler...my friend Bob and I went...we drove from the Canyon to the Phoenix airport after he got off after his evening shift as a line cook at the El Tovar Hotel...we had a 6:30 AM flight to Oakland where a friend of mine was flying in from LA...we grabbed a rental (a brand spankin' new Cadillac) for the drive to Sacramento...we almost didn't make it though as a an accident on the interstate blocked traffic for quite awhile...we pulled into the airport and made it to the plane with a few minutes to spare...we finally relaxed and as the plane leveled out after take off, the flight attendants started rolling down the aisle with the beverage carts...of course everyone was getting OJ, coffee and tea but I asked for a shot of cognac...the young lady just gave a double take and I explained we had been stuck on the freeway, nearly missed the plane and we were on our way to three Grateful Dead shows for the weekend...she smiled, looked around and said "in that case you might need a double and poured me a nice glass worth....In Oakland I had to sit for a bit before going to the rental agency so I didn't appear too loopy...one issue with the weekend...we were in a Red Roof Inn full of dead heads and security banged on our door saying one of the neighboring guests had called to complain about the pot smell...Jeezus lady your entire building is fulla freaks! Now I have to go dig out the drive those shows are on!

No reason to hold off on the announcement considering that pictures of DaP 42 have been released on other websites, and that you can already place an order for DaP 42 on eBay.

Had to search for it, didn't see any ebay results, but didn't search with ebay in the googles question machine, but the website that did have a pic showed probably my favorite cover of the series. Wow. Few titles on display in the artwork at first glance, can't wait to get my eyes and ears on it in person, plus hope the Bonus cover is just as nice. Really looking forward to this release.

Which reminds me, Dave's 1 vinyl should be rolling in soon (thankfully that was paid for months ago), and I should be heading out this weekend to plunk down another 150 on 4/8/72 on vinyl, and they want another 600 with tax and shipping for four more Europe '72 shows. May have to pass on the Lyceum box, but we'll also see how long it sits there. God save me from visiting deadnet on a day when I'm surprisingly flush, though...

Not quite sure what I'm going to play this on yet.

Bonus Disc show coming soon.....this should kick some ass. Kinda wish I hadn't listened to the sound board as much as I did, but as I told the judge after a night of debauchery - your honor, I just couldn't help myself. Heh, talk about securing mandatory rehab.

I'm ahead of schedule on the E72 joy ride. I really like the Dead Beat Club version of The Other One. Top notch.

Sitting courtside under one of the baskets at Warriors/Nuggets game tonight

Alas, poor Alvar I know him well. I was attempting to say if I were to be comfortably willing to drop 600 bucks, then I kinda hope I wouldn't visit deadnet that day, or that it would be sold out. Not really hoping that, but 4 shows for 600 is a helluva lot more to answer to the wife about than 30 Trips at 700. Especially given this would be 4 shows in a row, and I'm getting 4/8/72 to pair with last year's 5/3/72, which I listened to straight through last year upon getting home. Fantastic sound on vinyl. I wish Uncle Sam were letting me get some more European vinyl, not great timing. Especially with my own first brief trip to Europe (Ireland) 2 weeks ago. We'll see which way the winds blow my own ship of fools. Really looking forward to Dave's 42. Not sure it will be the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything, but hopefully it's nearly that.

I've started lagging behind with vinyl a bit. I was going to get Dicks Picks 19 when it became available on Amazon UK, but now it is, I'm having second thoughts. It's cost is the equivalent of $316 ! Quite a lot for a show I already have, and which features music I am very familiar with.
I also prefer vinyl to other formats for listening to The Dead, as someone else ( I forget who-apologies) pointed out on here the other day. But I'm not sure I prefer it THAT much!

On the last episode of Billions, “Cold Storage”, they play Deal from Garcia version at the end of the show, used artistically nicely. That’s 2 episodes now with significant GD references. Obviously someone’s a DH : )

I wish we knew what was on the bonus disc?
Guess we’ll have to wait until official release day…

From my cassette/Internet Archive digitization project:
GOGD Red Rocks 9/8/83
GOGD Watsonville 9/25/83 - a great outdoor show with an awesome China Rider.
Digitizing for a friend:
Fela and his 35 piece afro-beat orchestra, Berkeley Community Theater 11/14/86

GOGD St Louis 10/29/73 - Powerful Eyes of the World into China Doll
The Byrds - The Notorious Bird Brothers - a psychedelic masterpiece

I'm reading Chris Hillman's autobiography " Time Between" which inspired me to provide a Byrds music background. It's pretty good, and it's interesting to read his description of working and living with Gram Parson as they teamed up as the Burrito Brothers.

Thanks and cheers!

Wembley 4/8/72 is the Dead one coming out. I know it's not in the spirit of the day, but I have always managed to get RSD releases online. Still from an independent record shop, but without having to leave the luxury of my own home.

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.
