    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.

    Hi,

    I use a PO box. I’ve never had any troubles. Dave’s Picks have been coming correct for years, as have the box sets and the album re-releases. I’ve never had a problem before, which is why I’m not ranting or anything. Service has been great up until this moment. Without knowing anything, I’m going to guess the problem is with the post office and not Rhino.

    ....Lopes lives in Mass and got his. Crow Told Me lives in NorCal and is "Talking Heads reference" still waiting.
    Same shipping preferences I assume.
    The Universe never ends = Dead.net shipping regarding topics that make my head hurt.
    Unless some are still being shipped from KY. If so, delete this post.
    Agreed on the missed opportunity regarding a bonus art tee.

    Try PM to Marye.

    Wondering if you have P.O. Box?
    The U.S Postal service does not do home delivery where we live, you HAVE to use a PO Box.
    Since they sometimes use just UPS (box sets etc), we’ve been told to put both our PO and home address on, so depending on how it’s shipped, it will hopefully get here.

    Daves is usually this Smart post nonsense (WHY?) so has to go to Post Office.

    Once, after many years, Rhino messed up/changed the label, and the Box number wasn’t printed, so the PO rejected it and sent it back. It took awhile but eventually Marye and the Doc were able to facilitate a happy ending!

    Check with your PO and see why they rejected it then try sending her a PM.

    Still don’t understand why we can’t choose our shipping method. It would provide extra revenue!
    Remember when anytime you purchased something on line there where usually several shipping choices?
    Some of us would gladly pay additional to be able to use regular UPS and eliminate all the stress and headaches of Smart post!
    PLEASE, STOP THE MADNESS! Give the customers what they want: less crap, more music, and shipping of our choice!
    Thanks, rant over, back to your Mind Left Body jam…

    The Other Day, They Waited

    Shipped last Thursday, arriving Thursday next, so it says. Really shouldn’t take a week for a small package to make it from Carlsbad up to NorCal, even for the USPS. But, as Hyman Roth said to Michael Corleone: this is the business we’ve chosen.

    Fortunately, there is other music to pass the time. Including plenty of other ’74 GOGD. Just popped on the WoS Road Trips, fer eggsample.

    For me, ’74 tends to have a more spacey and laid back feel than the previous year, and it does sound like they’re coming down off the peak of ’72-’73. I’ve wondered how the technology (ie, the WoS) played into that, and what the particular pharmacology of that era factored in as well. (I’ve heard stories, and I’m sure you have too, about how some of the crew were upset with the increasing prevalence of cocaine and began to insist that all who ascended the stairs to the stage must also partake of the sacrament, which could definitely contribute to some spacey second sets.) But like everything else prior to the hiatus, it’s all good to great.

    Having fun spinning the ABB RSD release, Cream of the Crop 2003. Do yall know that 'un? There's a seedy release of this (with more tracks) that's still available, and allow me to recommend. Almost as good as the Fox box, which is pretty durned good indeed.

    And when the day had ended, the rainbow colors blended, his mind remained unbended.

    Heard the mailman drive by and sure enough DaP42 is safe and secure, glad they went back to cardboard box shipping than the wimpy bags.

    Why is the Bonus Disc not available as a T-Shirt? Would be greatest since Thelma! Anyone notice the change in hat between DaP42 & BD?

    Hopefully it sounds as good as the artwork looks...

    Package made it all the way…

    Package made it all the way across the United States to the post office two towns away from my small town in Vermont, only to be notified that the package is being “returned to sender” due to an “insufficient address.” I don’t know why the address would be insufficient. It’s the same address I’ve always used. Email sent to customer service. Any idea if/when/how customer service will address this problem?

    Six songs in, checking the booklet... Dave describes difficult decision on 2/23 versus 2/24 for DaP 13. If you have 13, you know the three photos on that case, they return again on the booklet for 42. Hope that's not a huge spoiler, since they have been out there for years. Resisted until a couple days ago, then had to spin DaP 13 to prepare. So nice to have most of the three night run with bonus disc. Must listen, no further comment for days, promise.

    Fall 91 you say?

    Fall 91
    Many great shows, but these seem to be the best overall without too many repeats and 7 shows seems like a good size, especially since there’s no reels to purchase and/or restore. Might make a tad more value oriented?

    9/6/91
    9/8/91
    9/16/91*
    9/22/91
    9/24/91
    9/26/91*
    10/31/91*

    Favorite/must haves*
    7 Shows
    66 one time songs: really good selection!
    16 Repeats
    6 Threepeats
    (Not including D&S)

    The three peats are: Dar Star, Attics, Let It Grow, Saint, Stranger, and Good Lovin’

    The repeats are: Spoonful, Dark Star Jam, Wang Dang, Candyman, Maggie’s, Standing on Moon, Last Time, Stella, Samson, Eyes, TOO, Bertha, All Over Now, Heaven’s Door, Minglewood, and A&A. Hey, no matter how you slice em, Bobs ALWAYS gonna have repeats!

    9/17 and other Oakland and Richfield are probably worthy, but then you start getting into more repeats and perhaps too big a box?

    Your Welcome ; )
    Bet this would sell out ridiculously fast!

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.

On April 26 2022.
My own idea of the estimated arrival date - is just before Billy's Birthday. Any time after that, excluding Sunday, May 8th, *talk cute* to the USPS Inspectors.

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...

Love getting the shipping notice email but hate that it doesn’t move for a week. Wish when you buy the “early bird” subscription that you can upgrade the shipping. I’m okay with paying more knowing the USPS isn’t involved. Play dead!

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.
