    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.

    Grapes of Wrath, great. Great scene in movie is when mother is looking in the dirty mirror and holding up her earrings. The look on the face speaks volumes.

    One of the small one from the Stein-man, My Travels with Charley. If you ever crossed country road tripped,,, this is the book. Cool thing book is written like a road trip. The return home is summed up quickly.

    Billy, I believe you are referencing the 9th commandment, "Thy shalt not covet thy neighbor's Fillmore West 1969 The Complete Recordings Boxset"

    GFar, I read your Do any of ya'll have funky joints and almost commented about the newly diagnosed arthritis in my wrist (painful!). Then I thought.. maybe you were talking about joints you know.. the kind you smoke, then I realized you were talking about venues. Made me laugh a little.. I guess it doesn't much to confuse me or make me laugh, rough going here this week.

    Gary/ Oakland Auditorium

    Gary, I haven't been to the Oakland Auditorium since 1989, the last time I saw the Dead there. My friends and I used to do some heavy partying there before each show. I also saw the Nevilles open for the Dead a few times, they played great. One of my friends saw Bob Marley play there in the 1970s, another friend saw Willie Nelson put on a killer show there. We used to hang around Lake Merritt before some shows, I told my friend who lived in Oakland, in the same neighborhood Huey Newton lived in, about us hanging out by Lake Merritt, and he said we shouldn't do that because it was not very safe. They recently found a dead body inside one of the walls when they were doing some construction work, they believe it was a homeless person who was walled in there during the original construction. Old and In the Way played there once in 1973. I saw a lot of cool Dread shows there.

    Feeling threatened/books/beats/Steinbeck

    Based on Angry Jack Straw's recommendation, I decided to read some John Steinbeck - I'd only read Of Mice and Men when I was about 13 and don't remember much about it, but AJS turned me on to one of the best books I've read in the last 10 years, A Gentleman in Moscow, so I knew he wouldn't steer me wrong.

    Started with Grapes of Wrath. I was expecting a great deal of pathos and a wide scope of humanity and the book delivers in spades. There's also the theme of hating the "other" - in this case, the Okies and other migrants fleeing to California in search of a better life (or really, any sustainable life at all.) Captures this conflict vividly. Still holds true today. Steinbeck balances this, thankfully, with repeated acts of kindness, even between those without two nickels to rub together.

    What I didn't expect in this book is Steinbeck's vibrant, almost beat-like prose. The sections where he telescopes into themes of the whole society could have been written by Allen Ginsburg (on his best day.) I need to do some research, but there's no way the beats were not influenced by Steinbeck. (Maybe I'm late to the party on this connection - wouldn't be the first time!)

    Anyway, Thanks AJS and thanks to all the contributors on this site. These are dark days and I need to be reminded daily to treat others with kindness and to enjoy all the beauty the world does have to offer. Just gotta poke around.

    Any way, last year yall had a discussion called when was your mind first blown. It was at this show. I wrote a huge article for that topic but never posted it. It had lynks with pictures of Oakland Auditorium. Sad that the beautiful palace has been shuttered, at least as of last year, and no movement to do anything about it. Man, the Nevilles laying down the funk, just dropped moments before I went forth. Great night!!! If anyone wants that write up i may be able to send as pm. Maybe BTK can update on that beautiful facility.

    Do yall have any other funky joints out there? Of course, wish I had gone to the Warfield but doubt it was that dank. Well maybe wrong there, as the boys would have been there. Also was at the recording of Govt Mule's "the deepest end" at the Saenger in New Orleans, which was the Friday show before the funky meters on Monday (Sunday) at midnight. That is an excellent dvd if you can find it. That was a long show approaching 8 hours. Let out around 3:30 am or so on Saturday morning. Saenger another great theater, of course, the fellas did the 2 1980 accoustic shows there. Would have loved to have been there

    As an aside, one of the most funky theaters I was ever in was in New Orleans. Was there to see the Funky Meters with Papa Funk and George Porter Junior and Brian Stolz on guitar. They were a later version of The Meters. I cant remember which theater it was in but the show was only thing on the card that night. Show started at midnight. It was old, dark, extremely dank with herbage and alcohol oooozing forth. It reminds me of the theater in EFNY that cabbie goes into. It also reminded me of my first real dank place which was Oakland Auditorium/Kaiser. Here walking into OA with the same band or big brother of the Funky Meters, the Neville Brothers. Joint was jumping and contact high took maybe 30 seconds. One of my highlight shows as Willie was out front. Got to see the Truckin Floor there.

    Anniversary show 6/14/85. Greek Theatre

    37 years and 2 days ago I was at the Greek Theatre for a knockout show with the Good Ole Grateful Dead.. This was one of my favorite shows the Dead played at the Greek. Great 1st set , 2nd set set opens with Morning Dew and closes with Comes a Time. I had an absolute blast at this show! Hopefully, these Greek shows will be released as a box set. 1985, the Greek falls between monster shows at the Frost and Ventura, all release worthy.

    Feeling threatened?

    It seems to me that people who feel threatened by gay people are afraid of something that is different from the way they themselves are. Or of the way they actually are, but are afraid to face up to. If that's the case it's a form of self hatred.

    But fear of the "other" has a ghastly reach across all sections of most societies. Fear of people who talk differently, dress differently, think differently, come from a different ethnic background, come from a different class.......you could go on, and on and on and...

    If you think you are not like that yourself - the likelihood is that you are, you just aren't aware of it.

    I agree with you on the EFNY 2. It must have been fun as the projectorist on the original escape from new York. I love how Bob hauk said " I'm ready to kick your ass out of this world, war hero."

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.
