    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.

    Musical History

    I don’t remember not listening to music. Mom was the music person I guess in our family. She owned records, she sang in the house and every morning the local AM station would be playing the top 40. Top 40 back then 60-62 ish would be a real mix of music. You would go from Johnny Horton to The Platters to Frank Sinatra to Peter, Paul and Mary. Radio didn’t/wasn’t so pigeon-holed then. Though when I moved to Texas a few years back I was surprised at the number of top 40 (regional?) songs I never heard and never made the playlist in the NYC market.
    We were young when Mom got us record players for Christmas, I was maybe 7. For the youth, record players were wood boxes that you took the lid off and there be a turntable, the front had a 4 inch speakers, driven by maybe 1.6 watts that when turned to 11 you could hear in your bedroom!
    My first records were “kids” records, they were the size of a 45, but had only a small hole in the middle and you played them at 78. The only one I remember was Hi-Diddle-Dee-Dee from Pinocchio. All of these bit the dust when me and my brother threw them like Frisbees. Mom started getting up kid lps. Great songs, like on Top of Spaghetti and The Cat Came Back.
    Mom had old 78’s that I listened the shit of out until I was maybe 11. Had a good Al Jolson collection and a slew of pop hits from her day. Songs like The Coffee Song by Sinatra. Silver Threads Among the Gold (Crosby), Red Silk Stocking and Green Perfume (can’t remember), The Woody Woodpecker Song. It was a golden age!!! Records spinning away at 78 RPM with the constant hiss,,,,,, ahhh.
    When I turned 13 I got a REAL stereo for Christmas. TWO SEPARATE SPEAKERS!!! First two albums Mom gave were both live! Johnny Cash San Quintin and Ray Stevens Guitarzan – LIVE! First I bought Andy Williams greatest hits. I continued to buy, I like “greatest hits” albums because I generally knew most of the songs. Like Dylans greatest hits 1, the Peter, Paul and Mary one. I know I was a boring boy!
    First show, maybe the first live show was in 8th grade, the school took us to the local amphitheater and we saw the New Seekers (I like to teach the world to sing). First show I paid for was Andy Williams at the same venue.
    I was big into disco in the late 70’s, listened to the local “black” station out of NYC. WBLS (stereo in black),,,, night show hosted by Frankie Crocker. Opened his show with King Pleasure’s, Moody’s Mood for Love,,,, great cut!!!
    In 78 met my wife and we moved in together. She was a deadhead and more of a rock person. Learned a ton of new music from her.
    Now all these years later I have a collection that boost over 7,000 artist covering over 750,000 songs. All stuff I listen to, no. I really, really, really don’t like metal or punk. We won’t even talk about German metal! (my kid listened to that shit) ( I’m sorry was that judgemental?). I’m more like a Libarian,, I read all the books, but I keep them in order and make sure they’re complete and labled correctly. (I think that’s enough .) I have all my records (except for the yellow 78’s), I have all of Mom’s 78 (about 600 of them), I have about 20 feet of lps, about 16 banker boxes of cd’s. And yet my wife doesn’t believe the limited edition vinyl is a GREAT investment for our retirement! Oh what fools these mortals be.

    Sorry about the length, sorry if I’ve I covered this before, thanks Oro for the first show shout out, don’t know how you could remember what show I”VE been too  I have no real memories of first show,,,, it was all way to new to me.

    Extra sidebar,,, caught a tube vid of Billy and the Kids in Hawaii at Bill’s house. WOW, what a house, huh!!! Hard to believe any of the other guys have digs that nice!!!!

    Vinyl LP Pricing

    I have about 150, maybe more, that I picked up as a kid from age 5 - 15. Bought a few recently and they all seem to produced on the 180 Gram vinyl, which is much heavier and sturdier than the flimsy stuff we used to get. That's a plus. The pricing seems comparable when inflation is considered. The inflation calculator I looked at places 1 dollar in 1980 at $3.44 today. The last LP I bought back then was Rush - Hold Your Fire. It has a $7.99 sticker on it. So the 5 LP Dave's Picks Vol. 1 that I pre-ordered would have cost $27.52 for each LP, for a total of $137.60. Dead.net only sold it for $99, so I suppose we're doing alright if the inflation calculator is correct.

    Genesis 1973 - Days of the Underground

    The show I saw was the one that was recorded and released on a live album the following year. It had a dramatic start- Watcher of the Skies intro, and all you could see on the stage were Peter Gabriel's eyes, illuminated by florescent paint. Everything else was black. I remember thinking the gig had an Alice in Wonderland quality to it. It was a bit like the David Bowie show in a way- everyone sat rivetted watching the stage. It was my friends who really liked them - I tended more towards heavy rock, where everybody went nuts. Black Sabbath and Hawkwind were the ones for me. It was good - but not quite to my taste as much as the other bands I saw. I never saw Genesis again - although I carried on seeing Hawkwind up to 2019. God help me.

    Simonrob - I got a very strong sense in the early - mid 70's that I had arrived just as the party was ending. Which proved to be the case, unfortunately. Most of the bands I liked had released their best records by 1973. In fact, I think they all had.
    Although I really liked the punk records and gigs from summer 1976-1977, I really didn't like the emerging punk culture - everybody walking around with cropped hair, spitting at bands, looking for a fight with anyone who didn't conform to the new dictat. Bands that copied The Ramones - all a bit rubbish by the end of 1977.
    What I really liked - although I didn't recognise it at the time - was rock n' roll. It was there, hidden in plain site in the music of both the heavy rock bands of the early 70s and the punk ones from 1976-77.

    Quiet music

    Anyone got any suggestions for quiet early morning music? Gorecki's 3rd, Labradford- Fixed Content, Mark Hollis -ST, Larmousse, that sort of thing. Stuff that won't wake anyone else up 🙂. I'm one of those appalling larks, up at 4.30, I love the early day.

    Thanks.

    The first band I ever saw…

    The first band I ever saw were Genesis at our local venue for 2nd string artists in autumn/fall ( take your pick 😀) 1972. I remember that I didn't much care for the music, still don't, and that the singer dressd up. I was 13 and these were warm up gigs for the next night at the Lyceum I believe, about 40 miles west of here. Alice Cooper, Bowie, Roxy Music, Stones, Zeppelin etc were much more my thing then. I met a friend in 1974 (he sold me my first acid on my 15th birthday) who turned me on to the Dead and I reciprocated by getting him into my stuff. Europe 72 was my first Dead album.

    So long ago.

    The first song that made a big impression on me was "Apache" by The Shadows in 1960 when I was 7. After that it was the Beatles in 1962. I guess things really got serious around 1969 when the San Francisco sound became readily accessible in record shops and on the radio thanks to Radio Luxemburg (208m medium wave). BBC radio got in on the act with the John Peel show. Unfortunately by the mid 70s it was as good as finished with few new bands of any note coming to the fore. Disco, punk, new romantics etc. were never interesting to me and my circle of friends and British progressive music became so self-indulgent as to be virtually unlistenable. Of course there were still points of light in the darkness but the golden age of music had sadly passed into history.

    PS: First time I saw Genesis was at the Reading Festival in 1972.

    You saw Genesis in '73? I was 9 when Abacab came out, and then came the Phil Collins tidal wave. I only ever heard two songs on FM radio from Gabriel Genesis in those days: Watcher of the Skies and Lamb Lies Down. In my early 20s I began buying up the Genesis back catalogue, as an extention of my taste for prog rock. I thought Supper's Ready was magnificent, and still play it regularly.

    I've seen a lot of youtube footage from '71 - '73. There's a great show from the Rainbow. That must have been a transcending show. And to see Gabriel's on-stage persona in his prime. Wow wow wow wow wow.

    Would love to hear about that experience. I may go see Steve Hackett - he's going on tour to play Seconds Out. I may see if that fits into my schedule.

    Alright Manchester - lets go!

    My first gigs were when I was 15, in 1972. They were T.Rex in the summer - at which there was a riot of teenage girls who temporarily stopped the show. Then David Bowie in the December. This was at a venue called "The Hardrock", and it featured what they referred to as "festival seating". This meant everyone sat on the concrete floor in as close a proximity to the lotus position as they could manage. Everyone stayed down, too. Older people at this one than T.Rex.

    1973 things gathered pace - I saw Hawkwind, Black Sabbath, Genesis, Uriah Heep and The Rolling Stones.

    Records were really important too, of course- and going to record shops. Which could account for why I still like vinyl today over other formats.
    And television-I never saw Alice Cooper live - but I saw a film of them on the Old Grey Whistle Test, and in summer 1972 he had the big hit - "School's Out"
    And the music press-the N.M.E being the fount of all knowledge. Iggy and the Stooges didn't have a record out in 1972, and they only played one gig in England - in London, which I didn't go to. But it was well written up and photographed, so that it assumed mythic proportions. I snapped up their first album from the bargain bins - and "Raw Power" the day it came out in 1973. When Iggy Pop finally came to the these shores, in 1977, it was like a visit from the Messiah. Unfortunately, The Stooges were no more- David Bowie played keyboards, and people in the audience flocked to his side of the stage to watch him rather than the Ig.
    But those years 1972 - 1973, when I was 15-16, were magical times.

    I discovered music when I was 12.
    The year was 1980. Ergo, my influences. Started with The Beatles.
    Then new wave and heavy metal.
    Used to make fun of Duran Duran back then. High school cliq shit.
    Now, I realize they kick ass.
    Headbangers Ball anyone? MTv Gen here.

    First, it's the drummers...

    All Spinal Tap kidding aside, the drummers are always the first to go. Keith Moon. John Bonham. Ginger did outlast Jack, but not by much. Of late, Taylor Hawkins... Charlie was preceded by Brian Jones but that was lifetimes ago. Joey Kramer has bowed out of the upcoming Aerosmith Vegas residency, and Peter Criss could never play 90 minutes with KISS again. Let us not forget Neil Peart, Nick Menza... the list is endless. Lars won't be able to play like he does now in 20 years - maybe ten. Metallica will reinvent themselves.

    I am excited to catch the D&C shows again as Summer tour arrives. Without Billy. Will he ever return? Does it matter? Not to discount him - I love the man, and to me the best and tightest the band ever was was when he singularly owned the drum chair. But the show must go on.

    I love Dead & Co. Yes the tempos are leaden, but my god Wolf Bros. makes D&C sound like Ministry on methamphetamine. Someone tell Bob to stop dumping a bottle of Log Cabin over his fretboard before taking the stage. John Mayer, Oteil and Chimenti are so goddamn good. Bobby hangs his hat on them and it all meshes beautifully. Last summer at Red Rocks, Jay Lane ably took up for Kreutzmann and you could hardly tell, except there wasn't any coke on the side cymbal (heh-heh).

    The vibe at D&C shows is so goddamn good... all across the country. I have had some of the best times in the parking lots, Shakedown Street and in the venues with like minded brothers and sisters who carry the spirit of the Dead onward.

    I had to stick up for them. Be well everyone.

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.

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.

No RSD for me. Can't do the 65 mile drive tomorrow to Triple Play Records Grand Junction, CO.
What Dead will be offered?
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.

But will head down to the local shop tomorrow after they open, they usually get a couple of copies. If there is one left for me grate, if not, not a problem, I already have it on CD.

Currently working my way through 4-24-72 Dark Star.

Super impressed with the sound you pulled out of the Seattle Center. Listening to it now.

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.
