    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.

    I see rocket man has the 8cd version, but not the 8cd, 2lp and 7" single box.

    At least I couldn't find :-)

    The upcoming Little Feat box on Rhino seemingly cannot be pre-ordered from Rhino themselves but it can be pre-ordered from retailers such as Rocket Man Bezos. It is down to who you want to give your money to. The release date is still two months away so no need to panic.

    Someone mentioned somebody releasing a Waiting for Columbus package. Found the package, but it seems it can't be "pre-ordered" yet.

    True?

    Puck that hockey stick.

    Could care less about hockey,,,, or is that couldn't?

    But did make me pull out the classic by Gary Puckit, "Young Girl Get Off of My Ice". Can't let a GREAT hit like that skate by.

    I don't watch any sports, certainly not hockey, but I watched the clip of that guy getting his third goal. Amazing a person can control a hard piece of rubber like that!!!

    On the music sent to me front, recently had a very fine person from this site send me ALL his mp3's. This added about 300,000 cuts to "The Collection". I believe this will bring me up to over a million tunes.

    Obviously, NO ONE can listen to all this stuff, NO ONE will probably like all this stuff. I like to think I'm more the library, the stuff is here when you are ready. It's cool when someone mentions a band and I'm like I think I have some of that. Last night at work a group came up "Dream Theater". Never heard of them,,,, but I had a dozen of their albums!!! (and no I didn't really like it,,,, I'm an almost NEVER metal guy).

    So I'll be busy racking and stacking all this new music (NOTHING goes into the collection without proper id-ing and my form of labeling) for a while. But I have knocked out 75,000 cuts so far!

    After this last run through, one has to ask,,,, "Can the Beatles stuff be repackaged and more ways???"

    I still have the tapes, among others

    I probably taped 100+ interviews all over the country, both on the phone and in person from California to D.C., over the five years I spent documenting Roy Buchanan's life and he had an amazing breadth of colleagues. However, Dale Hawkins probably was first, then Ronnie, to hire Roy. (Dale met me at a coffee shop. I suggested we go somewhere to loosen up and smoke a joint. He goes, "Oh! I didn't know you were cool." I said, "Yeah man, I'm cool. And I've got something for you." So he said, "Follow me to my studio.") We rolled a couple -- I had taught Rollo California to cultivate and he'd done pretty well that year -- and we talked, Dale played some new recordings for me, pulled some blow out and when I extracted the half-lb as a gift, man, Dale's eyes lit up like it was Christmas! He was a hard ass, but with Southern graciousness.

    Of course, a missing bit of rock 'n roll history is that Robbie Robertson picked up the "whistler" -- that high harmonic note -- created by simultaneously striking the string with pick and fingertip -- from Roy. Though Robertson, with The Band's help -- created some of the most memorable songs in rock history, Robbie couldn't shake a stick at Roy's guitar playing. Not even close.

    Oddly, I pursued Robertson (and Jeff Beck) for years for an opportunity to discuss Roy's influence and they never came to the phone. Robertson had a flack named Jared who kept saying, "Robbie wants to do it, Robbie really wants to do it," but monthly calls over a several year period yielded nada. Beck on the other hand probably never learned that I called his guitar tech, my only point of contact. The tech sez to me, in a British accent: "Listen mate. Jeff's under ee-NOR-mous preshuh for the upcoming tour. He can't possible take time to talk." We've joked about "ee-NOR-mous preshuh" ever since...

    Yes to all the GD show touting that goes on here; it has led me to explore my own collection. And the mention of various archival releases by other bands has pushed back retirement. I guess I should say "thanks"!

    The Hawk

    HF - Great story about Ronnie & Dale Hawkins! He lived about 30 minutes from us here, in a town we often go up to, always hoped I would randomly run into The Hawk while going through the local record store.

    A great Ronnie Hawkins line I just read, which speaks to his infamous sense of humour:

    "I spent 90 percent of my money on wine, women and song.
    I just wasted the other 10 percent."

    Say hi to Richard, Rick, and Levon. Godspeed.

    Great trips

    Peteh - yes, the whole of 11/10/67 is amazing - one of the most dynamic Dead shows I have ever heard.
    One of the best things about coming on here is reading about great shows that you may already have, but for some reason may have overlooked. Usually because they are secreted away in a box. I found out about 10/12/84 from 30 Trips like that. Not a favourite year of mine by any means - but I re-listened after reading about it on here - and it's a good 'un. I can't actually remember why, come to think of it, but I remember that I enjoyed it.

    Hendrixfreak - possibly a more meaningful dialogue you had with Ronnie and Dale Hawkins than I had with the celebrities I "met". Dale Hawkins is rock n' roll royalty - "Suzie Q" - one of the all time greats.

    US Festival ....

    Natecat, I was at that last show you listened to .... it was at the Glen Helen Regional Park in Devore, about an hour from Santa Monica at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains .... so it was a sparse crowd at that point ... the festival featured at least a dozen acts on a single stage that went until 10 or 11 that night .... seeing the boys up close and personal at 9:30am was, well, bizarre at very least... but they played well and I recall that they jammed a full show into a very short period by running a few favorites together... this event was a big deal, well before the likes of Coachella, but by far and away, the GOGD was the best part of it all. Wozniak (sp?) did another US Festival the following year, but there was no breakfast in bed with the Grateful Dead for round 2.......t

    Viola Lee Blues and 11/10/67

    Daverock, decided to check out the Viola Lee Blues from 11/10/67 and you were right! It's one of ,if not the best Viola's I've heard but you failed to mention the rest of that show! I've got too many shows to pick from and sometimes close my eyes and pick one but from your post, I listened to the whole show, probably for only the second time since I got the 30 Trips box and this show rips from start, Viola Lee Blues, to finish. Holy crap!! Whether you're into late 60's dead or not you must take a listen to this show. One of the best shows from any Dead era you'll hear. Thanks Daverock I probably wouldn't have found it again without your post!

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.
Now, how about bringing that Stanley Cup back to Toronto, AM….

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.
