    One more Saturday night at Winterland! Yes, we're back to home base for DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 42, the complete show from Winterland, San Francisco, 2/23/74. The one that featured the earliest amalgamation of what would soon become the Wall of Sound, the one that is so "loud, clear, and defined," it's been ripe for release for quite some time and we're glad it's finally getting its due.

    First set or second, there are no wrong answers here. From the unique show opener of Chuck Berry's "Around And Around" and an incredible "Here Comes Sunshine" that would then disappear for 18 years, to a medley of WAKE OF THE FLOOD tracks - "Row Jimmy," "Weather Report Suite," and "Stella Blue" - cementing their status in the canon and an unstoppable hour through the classic 1973-1974 Dead that is “He’s Gone”>“Truckin’”>“Drums”>“The Other One”>“Eyes Of The World,” it's all exceptionally hot.

    Limited to 25,000 numbered copies, DAVE’S PICKS VOLUME 42: WINTERLAND, SAN FRANCISCO, 2/23/74 was recorded by Kidd Candelario and has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering. Grab a copy while you can.

    Berry interesting. Another awesome box that has not had proper love!
    I need to carve out some time this summer and reacquaint, especially the 11th, hmmmm, that number 11 again lol.
    Agree on 76 evolution etc. Really is yet another interesting transitional period, and another that amazes me how many consider it fly by territory? To each their own I guess…

    ....funny you've mentioned 7/18/76 - I, too have an excellent bootleg CD of this show and it is indeed a WHOPPER! The sheer ins 'n outs of songs during that second set is truly magical. It's outstanding.

    As for my favs in all 'O 76, I was OVER THE MOON when the June '76 box came out - it hit all of my sweet sweet spots, and in doing, so, included my all-time favorite show from '76: June 11th. I needn't go into excruciating detail on this one, it seems to speak for itself on many levels; but that second set is is just pure drippy bliss to these ears. The Eyes is, hands down, my all-time favorite. Fight me!

    But, that entire box is so outstanding and I really love the grooves they spew forth in that early part of the tour and then on into July. By the end of the summer, the sound is already starting to morph and get a bit more edge, which takes on an entirely different conversation and feel heading into '77.

    Thanks for inquiring Oro. Inquiring minds want to know.

    Be Well Peeps!

    Here we go again: I have an idea!

    The PNW box was rightly hailed for showcasing the band's development in '71 to '73, major years of evolution in setlists and style.

    And we assume, probably correctly, that vault tapes for the earlier years are fairly scarce. Taking up the spirit of the PNW box, an even greater illustration of band development would be to issue a modest box containing one show each from 1966 to 1970, the first five years leading into the 71-73 period of growth. The '66, '67 and '68 shows might well be one disc, two discs each for '69 and '70. Beef it up with a lengthy '68 show or two-show curated output for '69 and '70. Or pad it with partial shows that will never be complete. Ten discs and a booklet for $100. Make it limited edition if necessary.

    Screw the fetishization of anniversaries and just do it. One show each from the slender stock of '66-'70 won't kill future notions of other uses. (And what "other uses" can anyone imagine? Shows from the first five years don't exactly scream potential release as "Dave's Picks" due to length.)

    Yet another brilliant idea from HF that may never happen. But it's worth considering....

    I looked yesterday and saw that the Avs were up 3-1 at the end of second period. I am surprised the Blues came back. in Colorado.

    The 18th is the shizzle, but selfishly I hope they don’t release it soon as I have a great bootleg copy on CD, so would rather have something released we don’t have lol I got a tape of that one very early in my development and I’ve always loved the energy and turn on a dime segways on that one. Perhaps my favorite 76 show?
    Ha, great question for Sixtus: what’s yer favorite 76 show?

    EDIT: I’ve not heard the 13th. Consider radar fully pegged!

    Me too AJ

    I’ve been pretty relaxed throughout the playoffs so far, but third period last night I started getting the fear.
    Actually started getting unsettled before that since all the broadcasters etc were acting like it was already over.
    Now being a Buffalo Loser for sixty years has made me a tad superstitious. See the last Bills game for reference, ahem. So it makes me extremely uncomfortable when they do that. By the end of the game everyone was acting like it was over: the press, the crowd, the AVs, everyone except the Blues!
    But the thing that really signaled code red was the increasing sloppy play in the AVs own zone. As the Blues started scoring/catching up, they seemed to become extremely energized, like folks fighting for thier life will do. At the same time most of the AVs seemed to ? Can’t really describe but the result was increased sloppy play and worse, scary turnovers in their zone. This seems like their Achilles heel throughout the playoffs?
    When McKinnon got the hat trick it was a slight relief, but I actually said to the other half, that I was worried this isn’t over because of the above. Sure enough, they tied er up and now it’s a whole new game.
    I told her at the start of OT if they keep coughing up the puck their gonna lose…
    I felt really bad for McKinnon after having such an amazing game. That ridiculous third goal was old school magic ala Gilbert Perrault, beauty eh! But one player does not a team make!
    So now you have an extremely capable and energized Blues team, heading back home where the fans will be jacked like Casey Jones himself, and perhaps an AVs team with internal noise In their heads, which all makes me like a dog that knows he’s going to the vet! No Bueno!
    Hopefully some of the folks who’ve been quiet in this series will step up because If they don’t git er done in game 6 I think the Blues might win the series.
    Hope this 20 year curse doesn’t turn into a fifty year one like our poor bastard friends from the North. ; )

    And talk about scary good, I’d say currently the Bolts are the team to beat! Not sure what to make of the other eastern series? You’d think Edmonton would learn from the AVs and nip that one in the bud tonight?

    7/13/76, great show, time to release it, I was there. Those Orpeum tickets were hard to get, they went fast. The Orpheum only holds 1800 people. I saw Garcia play there a couple of times in the 80s.

    As usual, my listening sprint was derailed by the May Dave's Picks. I have managed to get the Dark Stars in. There is a cool Steve Hoffman Forum thread that has people analyzing all Dark Stars in great detail. A must for people who enjoy reading about the little nuances and time stamps when everything occurrs.

    E72 repeats. I find a lot of cool stuff from version to version on many of them. The longer jam songs are obviously worth the trip. But even the shoter tunes have subtle differences that make them great to get to know (most of them).

    This Dave's Picks is incredible to my ears. It's just a consistent dose of Dead all the way through with great sound and good mixing. Yeah, there are some audio anomalies here and there, but they're not too frequent. Billy is having a night of it. I've been including the Bonus Disc highlights within the main set, because I can't wait 4 or 5 hours for China Rider, Brown-Eyed Women, and Uncle John's Band. How does it compare with DaP 13? I can't tell you that...you couldn't afford me....

    Sixtus I also love DaP 1. Man, What I went through to get a copy of that. Some lommox on eBay sold me a burned copy for 40 bucks. What a dick. But I was desperate to hear what was so great about it, and I didn't have any '77 except the commercially available 5/28. So I basically had no exposure to the '77 machine. And it was so popular on eBay, I figured it was the Veneta of '77. It did not disappoint. Still has some if my all time favorites from that year. I think they play just about flawlessly, like a studio record, all the way upmto the backup chorus vocals. I still find it to have the most definitive Mississippi Half-Steps; doesn't have the jam you get with Englishtown, but that's what Englishtown is for. It's only weakness IMHO are the last two songs. Not really into post-hiatus Around And Around or Johnny B.

Sorry lads but I believe the complete tapes are not there.
Supposedly much was chopped up for Skull Fuck?
I think that’s why they did Ladies and Gentlemen: used best of what they had?
But!
A) I could be confused and thus completely wrong, and
B) we don’t know what other sources may exist?
Or do we? Someone out there surly knows more about this?

...and still not sold out! I just finished listening to each show, so this is my first pass. Took a while. I gotta say, disc 20 is a stand out. That's the third disc of the second 1973 show in the box. Course you guys already know that. Dark Star>Stella Blue>Eyes>Weather Report Suite! Sweet is right! I listened to this disc three times over three morning's breakfast, and it will bear re-listening for years to come! Multiple breath-taking jams, one after another.

he has said in interviews that they have put out all they intend to on the April '71 FE shows.

That leaves a ton of great shows in March-April '71 for a '71 box.

I am just one show shy of hearing the whole St Louis box. Then I'm going back to the second of two '71 shows in that box and CRANKING IT.

Hey, gents, ain't Nitecat The Man?? Thanks to the tapers...

Another great show, from a historic run of shows. Big Boss Man, Warf Rat , and Mama Tried, all appear on Skull & Roses from this show. Duane Allman sits in with the Dead. My favorite version of Good Lovin.

Good Lovin'

Hot
Hot
Hot

And a first set Dark Star into Wharf Rat

Wharf Rat is on Skull n Roses

Way back in 2001
Phil n Friends played east of Seattle
In the parking lot before the show I had some electric juice
As I sat there, suddenly China Rider from 4 26 71 came on

Yowzah yowzah yowzah

No electric juice since then

Great show by PnF

I wonder if the fact that Duane Allman and the Beach Boys guested means that the full run is less likely to be released. Although I think maybe one of the tracks featuring Duane came out on an Allman Brothers compilation a while back.

Drive by Truckers in a few days, same venue either day before or after is Jason Isbell and the 400 unit. Jason Isbell is with EmmyLou Harris and others. DBT with Mavis Staples and others.

Saw DBT so many times in a small clubs around here, that was when Jason was with them.

For me, also Widespread X3 and Dave Matthews 1 show coming up. Plus Primus this weekend.

May even get my country music bangor and clangor on with many artists heading this way. Trying to make up my mind on seeing Vince Gill. Probably not Brooks and Dunn or the Judds. Live music budget has to be worked out.

Waiting impatiently Dave. J/K no complaints here. Operations have made substantial upgrades in the last 2 years.

G

Also in cue possiblities are :

America
Joe Satriani
Black Crowes
Kenny Chesney
Skynyrd
are possibilities

In less consideration
Dierks Bentley
Styx and REO
My Morning Jacket

Music seen booming here.

Revised and edited.

That’s great you saw the Truckers when Isbell was in the band, quite a line up then with his wife on bass. I think they are a kick ass band, and I’m looking forward to their new record in June. As for Emmylou, I think she still has the greatest voice in her field, and I’d never pass on a chance to see her play.
I was scouring the upcoming shows today, and you’re right, a lot to choose from being summer touring season, but budgeting for it is another matter.
Ordered the “new” Fabulous Furry Freak Bros hardcover today, one of a series of four in the series. Those comix never get old!

Thinking of Beach Boys, every so often I go back over to the tube to watch an old clip of the Beach Boys backing Chicago on their song "Wishing You Were Here." It is such a great performance especially vocally. Think it is NYE 1974. Trying to remember when Dick Clark started his NYE specials.

FYI, the remastered Chicago first couple of releases are mu-nay.

Nappy! Thanks for wheelchair taper post/lync. Lots of interesting stuff there.

Auston Matthews is the first US born player to reach 60 goals in an NHL season! I’ve said this before, I grew up with this game, and he is one of the best I’ve ever seen.

Orchestra to play shows in Europe to celebrate the E72 tour this September. The band will have Alligator being played by Jeff Matheson. Anybody over across the pond planning on going to any of these shows? I'm sure they will be epic.
Jeff channels Jerry very well, can only imagine the sounds he will get out of Gator.

Vguy - sorry about your boys. I told you last year that trading Alex Tuch was a horrible decision. At least now he can go golfing with some of his former teammates.

Mike - good luck to the Leafs. We all know the outcome, but I’ll back them. Other than Toronto I find almost all the playoff teams in the East unlikable.

Colorado is the team to beat. Nevertheless, I still want Canadaland to win a Cup. I’ll take the Oilers in the west and the Leafs in the east.

Good luck to some.

Definitely worth seeing.. Jeff can shred. He can't quite sing like Jerry, but he can play. If/when I venture across the pond again, I would really like to see some of those venues.

As for hockey and sports in general.. yea, the ups and downs of winning and losing. It's only a matter of time until you are on the losing end of playoffs and championships...

sorry to burst anybody's nitrous bubble, but I would rather play any DaP then listen to DSO, D & C, Wolfpack or any other GD cover band. Local band around here called Hyrider and they are all the same: marginal, terrible garage bands. Unimaginative, boring, and lame.
Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Jack - You’re right, the Leafs have as much chance of winning it all as Herb Tarlek did getting Lonnie Anderson’s Jennifer character to go out with him, but dim hope is better than none. I think Tampa Bay is still the team to beat, with Florida and Colorado in the running.
I’ve received my shipping notice for DaP 42 a few days ago, but based on the “low octane”postal service in these parts, I’m thinking the first round of playoffs will be over by the time it arrives.

I'd have gone to see DSO in pre covid times. See what they are like. I saw Live Dead 69 with Tom Constanten about 3 years ago, and Terrapin Truckin with Phil Lesh about 2014, I think. Obviously neither band could hold a candle to The Dead, but it was a night out with people who were into the Gratefuls, serenaded by a Grateful Dead type sound. I saw Jerry on stage at the LiveDead69 gig - his ghost, anyway. As soon as my brain registered it, he disappeared. All good harmless fun.

Sorry to read about Klaus Schulze. I may be wrong, but I think he only played on one Tangerine Dream album - the synth free first one "Electronic Meditation". Music of the Gods - it reminds me of Ummagumma a bit. Highly recommended if you haven't heard it and like pre Dark Side Pink Floyd. Klaus Schulze plays drums on it.
