    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.

    Piano Jazz/Help etc

    Sixtus, I just got turned onto Bill Evans this past winter and I can’t get enough. So I bought a bunch lol.
    Now he can be pretty mellow depending on what kind of jazz you like.
    I used to dig mostly hard bop and fusion stuff, but find I like more mellow stuff now, what I call Heroin jazz.
    Pull a couple tubes, sit back and it melts all the stress away!

    I too could use some help from the real Jazznics out there: THATSMIKE, I think Nitcat and some others regularly post on good jazz. I’m looking for more stuff like Bill Evans, AND, I’m really into vibraphones. I have one with Lionel Hampton and Stan Getz which I love, but really want more. Problem is there is way more of it than you’d think. I figured there be just a few must have/ go tos but seems there’s a lot to choose from.

    So I’m looking for more mellow stuff. The soundtrack from the film Around Midnight is a great example of what I’m looking for! Good movie and awesome soundtrack if you’ve never heard it!
    Oh, I’m not looking for jazz with vocals! Have some but not into the vocals much.

    So mellow, piano,, and some top shelf vibraphone music por favor!
    Thanks!

    I really dug Led Zeppelin growing up in High School; I recall for my HS Graduation, I got the LZ CD Box Set that was pretty new - it had like every song ever, it seemed. I really dove into it. I found I gravitated most to those more acoustic-y kind of songs, but then as time moved on I did begin to appreciate some of the stuff with a harder edge. There are some all-time great songs from anywhere, in their repertoire. I often forget how many of these are legit, as I deftly perform a quick brain dump:

    Your Time Is Gonna Come
    Traveling Riverside Blues
    Hey Hey What Can I do
    Going to California
    White Summer/Black Mountain Side
    Bron-Yr-Aur
    Kashmir
    Immigrant Song
    Ten Years Gone
    That’s The Way
    When the Levee Breaks
    Ramble On
    Over the Hills and Far Away
    Tangerine
    D’yer Mak’er
    Gallows Pole
    Battle of Evermore*

    * the very first time I ever smoked pot, this was the first thing I 'heard' while in "the state".
    I remember walking into the room; it was complete silence....but then the fade-in of the mandolin began and from that moment to present day I have been HOOKED on music in "the state".
    It absolutely opened my eyes like nothing ever before that moment in time. Just the sound of music itself; the separation of instruments, catching me completely unaware and off guard; the richness of the instruments playing together but separately; the reverb, the vocals, all of it tied itself into a new form of literal amazement. That Door - it opened - on this day; in that moment.
    I'll never forget it.

    Saw some talk about jazz a few pages back...over the past 6 months, maybe more, I've been putting on jazz in the background on many days, as I work from home. Mostly just ask Alexa to play it via Amazon music, which runs through the Sonos....and the entire homestead.
    I try to listen intently when I can, and I really love the off-kilter beats and dissonance that it sometimes embraces. I listen to a lot of piano jazz; if anyone has any recommendations, please do share. I also like the funky stuff and again love being surprised. I've delved into Beegie Adair, Dr. Lonnie Smith, McCoy Tyner, Herbie Hancock, and also revisiting MMW here and there in crossovers. The freestyle, freewheeling nature of the music is cool and its always been a bit of an interesting enigma for me way back since I was a kid.

    What is the fate of the newly discovered June '68 tape at OSF? Wouldn't Dave like to create a little excitement in Dead World by releasing it or allowing OSF to release it? Like, this summer?

    And, no, the E72 vinyl box is NOT the year's "boxed set." I am unanimous on that point.

    Do we know for CERTAIN that the Lyceum vinyl box isn't the ACTUAL 2022 box set??
    Not trying to be a downer, but I just never want to assume something.

    Now back to 1968, venue of your choice. I had a cool partial '68 show from over 20 years ago. It actually began with an encore from The Ark('69), and then had a handful of songs from Jan. '68. Maybe the 9th, maybe Oregon??

    Anybody know this??

    Having just put in an order for the Lyceum L.P.s box, the idea of a box of 1988 first sets quite appeals to me.

    Thinking of Led Zep live-long guitar solos were a bit of a cliche by 1973. Black Sabbath at that time used to be going like the clappers for about 40 minutes, then one by one they would start skulking off stage, leaving Tony Iommi on his own playing his guitar. He diddled along for ages, then he would sidle off and Bill Ward would take over with a drum solo. You could feel the energy level dropping as all this went on. They had to start building up the momentum again from scratch when they eventually reconvened.

    These 2 shows would make for a great one off release, or part of a bigger 1969 box set. I think the box set is going to be from 90, 91, 92 all three, or one of the 3 years. I hope its going to be a 1969/1970 collection, with 9/20 /70 included.

    The aluminum neck is for better sustain.
    Supposedly JG started using them because not being custom made, they were easier to fix on the road.
    The custom Erwin’s had to be sent back for repairs, which was a hassle, especially if something happened on the road.
    My buddy had a TB bass. I played the thing for a while and while overall it was a decent instrument, it was ridiculously heavy, not balanced very well, and a pain if it got too cold. It was a long scale, so maybe the guitars balanced better?

    This just in...SCROTUS just announced that GD box sets and Davez releases promote happiness and high times, which are detrimental to the fabric of US society. "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" were auto-correct typos, cited Clarence Thomas. "Jefferson actually wrote, "Toe the line, bitches, and suck DT's diq for your freedom."

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.
