    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.

    Eric Nesterenko

    that's a name I haven't heard for ages and instantly recognized. Nesterenko was a core player with the Blackhawks when I was a kid. Bobby Hull, Stan Mikita, Pit Martin, Tony Esposito and others. Legends. Born in Flin Flon, Manitoba (Flin Flon - what a cool name). Parents were Ukranian immigrants.

    Johnny Rotten wasn't so hard

    I met him once. Sort of. It was at the Electric Circus in Manchester in December 1976 a few days after the interview with Bill Grundy had been broadcast on television. There were 4 bands on that night, and the Sex Pistols were last on. I went on my own.
    Between bands I went to the bar upstairs for a pint and a breather. It was virtually empty - but the Pistols were there, talking to some girls at the bar. I got my drink and slumped down..and then got the feeling someone was looking at me. I looked at the next table, and it was Johnny Rotten , also sitting on his own. I mumbled a greeting, and he mumbled one back. Then he re joined the band and they went on. Not exactly great meetings of our time.

    Despite the fact that he had short hair and...well he was a punk....and I had very long hair and looked like - well I don't know what I looked like - but I sensed that we were cut from the same cloth at that time. Both about 19, skinny, mad..
    I'm glad Sid Vicious wasn't there, though.

    Mr Smith, and Hockey of course ; )

    Wow, beyond cool Jeff! Those windows and that story was awesome! I can relate to egos, rich folk, and crazy deadlines. Fortunately I don’t have to deal with those so much anymore. Like y’all didn’t have enough to deal with without some DB mucking up the works. Shoulda dosed him lol. Seems like you’ve found the hard to get niche of art and commerce that’s cool and invigorating and not the soul crushing constantly compromised for cash scenario, kudos!

    Many celebrity brush ups but since it’s hockey season I’ll just share a related one. Mikes telling of the real great one, Gordy Howe, made me remember my time with the great but perhaps unknown by all except the most dedicated and perhaps “mature” hockey nuts. Almost 25 years ago when we first moved in the area we live in, my first job was at a golf club. I’d dropped outta grad school and for various reasons just wanted something less stressful and to be outside in the mountains etc. after a few years I became the outside staff manager.
    The director of golf had hired this old, literally crooked sort of old bent guy who had a been an NHL warrior back in the bad ole daze of Eddie Shore, Gordie Howe etc named Eric Nesterenko.
    He played over twenty years which is kind of amazing if you understand what hockey was like back then. So here’s this beat up old supposed legend working for me as a starter/ranger at an off the path club in the middle of nowhere.
    Well Eric was quite a guy but not much of an employee.
    He had two problems: as a starter he was never at the first tee box. Usually I could find him at the driving range which was no bueno because although we had liberal privileges at the club, we were not to use the facilities on the clock or in uniform. Well there’d be Eric 8 outta 10 times at the range. Now if that wasn’t enough, he was a machine and would not just hit a few balls, he go through ever damn ball on the range lol. I mean these were Titleist den caddies: (hollow mini golf bags full of about 300 balls), times about 15 stations on the range, that’s A LOT of balls and would wipe out most folks. But Nester would routinely go through ever ball out there.
    The other habit he had, as a ranger, people can be aholes when the ranger needs to repeatedly get on them. But hey, that’s their job and the offender was mucking things up for everyone else. I’m sure anyone who’s golfed regularly knows what it’s like being stuck behind rich ahole arm chair Tiger Woods, not fun!
    So Nesters problem was when some of these folks would get uppity with him, he’d be ready to drop the gloves!
    Now we thought that was hilarious, and some of these nutnics probably deserved a couple elbows in the corner, but of course professionally we had to act shocked, liked we cared when these dipshits complained about him.
    I never got to no him that well, but he was always a respectful gentleman to me and the staff, and we loved working with him.
    The amazing thing was, even years later, he continued to be a ski instructor in vail, even after all his body had been through! About 10-15 years after I worked with him, we had a gig at a tiny little place in vail. So small we were only allowed to use like one powered monitor with acoustic instruments. Nester, and his son, along with several others were regulars there for apre’ ski. We did the gig mostly because of the fun atmosphere, it was an early gig, and you didn’t need to schlep Amps/PA etc It was mostly for fun, which it was. In fact it got too big so they cancelled us. Imagine that: we’re making too much money and it’s too popular so you can’t play here anymore lol. Well not only was it fun, but Nester and all the regulars took really good care of us too. Some nights we’d actually make ok money!
    I haven’t seen Nester in years, but I think he might still be up the hill giving lessons if at all possible.

    So speaking of hockey, wow, wild games last night! Not a big Rangers fan (no offense) so loved that outcome, and holy crap I hope the whole Battle for Alberta series is like last night! Wow! Tonight…
    GO AVS!

    Chuck Berry

    Jeff - Great guy to meet in Chuck Berry, that is gold! Great story, and your art work is amazing. What was Chuck Berry's reaction to seeing the work?

    I would say my meetings with celebrities has been great, overall. I worked a boat show in the 90s, and in the booth next to us was Desmond Llewelyn, infamous as "Q" in the James Bond series. It was a super dead night in January, and he was so nice. He was there for some company, and they were featuring that silly "Alligator Sub" from one of the cheesy Roger Moore movies (I was glad when they dumped Moore). I lost the poster he signed in one of many moves, regretably.

    Of the folks I met, Sir Edmund Hillary was top of my list for sheer respect, and he and Gordie Howe both had hands like dinner plates. Big dinner plates. Chris Hillman (pictured) was terrific, as was Herb Pedersen, and Gene Clark. Dan Akroyd was a hoot, and I still have the wine bottle he signed (sans the wine!). Rod Serling's daughter (Anne) and Byron Berline (fiddle master) both signed books for me, but the one that moved me the most was Kim Phuc, known infamously as "The Girl In The Picture", running naked as a little child from an errant napalm bombing in South Vietnam. She lives in the next town over, and she is the most spiritual person I have ever met, not at all defined by the atrocities done to her, or that she had seen.

    I'd love to have met Jerry Garcia, I understand he was about the most centred guy you could meet. I'm still holding out to meet Dylan, but I always get the feeling he may be somewhat jaded about that kind of an encounter.

    Meeting celebrities

    I worked at an Executive Jet Centre a few years ago for a while, rich people and celebrities, singers on tour etc. Rich people generally were great, polite and respectful, celebrities less so.

    I've literally bumped into Roy Orbison and Johnny Rotten. Roy smiled and ruffled my hair, I was about 8 at the time, and Johnny said nothing but the gorilla of a minder behind him (it was in the pub next to the Rainbow Theatre, London, before the Ramones New Year's Eve gig 1977ish) wasn't too polite.

    Getting in tune with Chuck

    I was surprised to find an unsuspecting Phil Lesh at a table at the Bar at Terrapin Crossroads one night a few years ago – wasn’t as quick on my feet at Keithfan was with Chris Squire. Sort of mumbled “Hi!” and “Thanks!” and dumb stuff.

    What I’ll never forget is the time I met Chuck Berry. He was the featured guest at the Grand Opening Night Gala for Dallas’s Hard Rock Cafe in 1986. I was lead artist/coordinator for the making of the Hard Rock's Elvis, Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis stained glass windows, which earned me a coveted invite to the HRC’s VIP “Cheese Club” upstairs for a seated dinner. In fact I sat next to Chuck’s gorgeous daughter. After the meal, everyone exited back into the crush of revelers. All of us were partying hardy. During the transformation of this old church into the HRC, I’d discovered a hidden “nook” where I escaped for some calm.

    The next thing I knew club owner and visionary, Isaac Tigrett, opened the secret door to “my” nook, and told Chuck Berry he could tune and warm up there. Nobody asked me to leave, so I spent 20 or 30 minutes listening to Chuck play. We chatted a little about growing up in Missouri and Arkansas. Chuck was still kinda pissed at the way he’d been treated by the taxman, the law and the record companies. Then, before I knew it, a manager stuck his head in and led Chuck to where he waited until being introduced by Dan Ackroyd and proceeding to blow the top off the place. The Paul Schafer Band played most of the rest of the time.

DSO are playing the Shepherd's Bush Empire in London on September 13th. Tickets are an extraordinary £108 ($140 ish) for two standing. It's a 2000 capacity venue and at those prices they'll be lucky to get a couple of hundred attending. Completely daft. I saw them some years ago at a small venue in London for about £20 each and had a great night as i did at Phil Lesh at the Brooklyn Bowl in Greenwich. My wife who is definitely not a deadhead had a great time too. I'll give it a miss this time, it's a shame.

I'd have thought twice if it cost that much! Shepherds Bush Empire, too - yuk. Live Dead 69 were on at the ultra chic Under The Bridge when I saw them. Part of the Stamford Bridge complex - home to Chelsea F.C.

Nick1234 - yes, Brooklyn Bowl - that was where I saw Phil Lesh and co too. Good night . They played Viola Lee Blues....I am certain of it. Fairly certain anyway.

Colin - I have never heard that 1st Ash Ra Tempel album - it's got a good reputation though. The only solo album I have by Klaus Schulze is one called Irrlicht. Pretty good - more like the mid 70's Tangerine Dream - waves of synthesizer. Sounds a bit like watching a lava lamp.

Would say, one can listen to recordings almost anytime, there is nothing like good live music, up close, with kind friends. Among too many stories.... have been fortunate to see DSO a good number of times, including an acoustic performance years ago at an old train station venue in White River Junction, VT for about 100 people. There was a small get together at a friends house nearby before hand, it turned out that Dino (drums) and Rob B. (keyboards) were there among the twelve or so guests, I was charged with grilling the salmon outside during a massive thunderstorm as the power went out briefly. So electric and acoustic. Tickets used to be reasonable around $30-35, surprised they are so much across the pond, travel expenses? As some know, Rob Eaton, DSO rhythm guitar, is directly responsible in the retrieval process of a good deal of the music we have been enjoying on Dave's Picks and elsewhere. Fortunate me, just heard about the release of a few reserved tickets for this Friday night Hot Tuna show, scored a primo front row seat, will have a great view of their feet.

Shucks, if anyone out there will be near central New Hampshire Friday night, there's still, as of 4:20 pm, two front row seats left for Hot Tuna about $60 each, search on Flying Monkey, Plymouth NH. This is a funky small old movie house that seats about 200 or so.

Yes. I think Colorado is the team to beat.

The President’s trophy winner rarely brings home the Cup. Say goodbye to the Panthers.

It’s extraordinarily difficult to win the Cup three times in a row. Say goodbye to the Lightning.

We all know how the teams from Canadaland have performed over the last 25 years or so. I’ll be backing the Oilers in the west and the Leafs in the east. I’m truly hoping this is the year the Cup heads across the border. It’s been way too long. Regardless, say goodbye to our brothers to the north. All of them.

That leaves Colorado. Good luck to your local boys.

Same old for the Sabres and Red Wings. Ugh.

Thank God Better Call Saul is back.

...DaP 1 vinyl? I got a second shipping notice and thought it was the vinyl, but when I looked again, it was for the a la carte DaP 42 I got for a buddy. Of course, neither my sub, nor the extra copy's tracking numbers work, but that's par for the course, and since they took down the DaP 1 vinyl page, there's nowhere to commiserate with others about it.

Edited to add: Go Hurricanes!

4-8-72 vinyl
A European seller on EBay currently has ‘more than 10 available’ and has sold 5, $99 + $40 shipping.

12-10-71 vinyl
Currently $82 on Amazon. I paid $104 a few months ago.

5-19-74 vinyl
Currently $185 on Amazon (seller in UK). I paid $105 3 years ago.

4-26,27-69 vinyl, Real Gone Music release.
Played it this weekend and it sounded grate.
But, it didn’t sound as good as Rhino vinyl. It had a lot of snap, crackle, and pop, and I wasn’t eating Rice Krispies. I’m going to run it through my Spin Clean system and see if that helps. Of note, I’ve received dirty and damaged Rhino vinyl before too.

Let’s go Red Wings.
The rebuild seems to be further along than expected. Yes, a little rough lately, but Larkin is out.
Haven’t picked a team yet for the Cup, but it certainly won’t be the Avs. I still hold a grudge from the 90’s.

New Garcia/Saunders release.
Excellent (visualize Mr. Burns tapping fingers).

PT, GFar, and anyone else trying to get healthy, glad you’re doing better.

No word on DaP1 vinyl here. (It's coming, I'm sure,,,, just not when)

Burnsy wrote New Jerry Release. But because of my reading style (I only seem to read the start of words), I thought New Jersey was releasing a new "something",,,, read the damn thing 3 times before I realized it was New Jerry. (which I had already ordered!)

Hadn't thought of Tangerine Dream in LONG time, thanks for the reminder. Listening to Tangram (set 1). Nice

FYI - just checked,,,,, DaP 1 vinyl still on schedule for 4/29 release,,,,, still no notice!

Great Seinfeld reference!
I woulda broke her fingers if she touched my rig (just teasing) sorta lol

Well Jack I hope your right and we don’t experience cupus interuptus like the last couple years.
Full disclosure, you can count on one hand how many hockey games I’ve seen this year.
(Poor Mike probably just spewed his Horts after such sacrilege!)
The older I get the less time I have for sports, and since the Sabres have sucked so bad, for so long that hasn’t helped.
I have gotten back into football a bit since the Bills have been watchable and it’s only part of one day a week.

But I ALWAYS check out the NHL playoffs! And the AVs have been red hot, but how many times have we seen that happen: where the hot team blows their wad too soon and crashes and burns? It always seems like it’s about timing, that and if someone’s goalie starts spinning around on their heads and turns into Satin!
How many times have we seen a decent team become invincible because of a suddenly super hot goalie!
But I like your theory and hope your right!

And yass, Canadaland is way overdue, so if not the AVs, how bout dem Leafs! Go Leafs, lol, I just like saying go Leafs, don’t even need a reason lol. But how cool would that be, whole country would go nuts!

I haven't received any email notifications yet. Is it still being released today?
Dave's Picks Vol. 42 w/ Bonus Disc
(Pre-order - released on: 4/29/2022)

Today is release day
When it arrives is anybodyz guess
Shipping notice? "Maybe so, maybe not"
You cant tell with this bunch

BLUEBOY714.. Same BS different day. I plan to scrap the subscription next year buy 1 3 4 a la carte and 2 off ebay to get the bonus disk. This is not suppose to be so frustrating nothing but Kill joys.

to manufacture their CD for DP the quality has gone down (skips in CD, shipping late, no email communication, etc.). I understand supply chain and all of that but these are CDs and they s/b able to make without a problem unlike vinyl records where their is a shortage of lacquer due to the largest supplier burning down.

My favorite version of Minglewood Blues, a real rocker! Me & My Uncle appears on Skull & Roses. Alligator, and the jam the Dead play after it, is fantastic, something I can listen to over and over again and it's just best, the exclamation point on a legendary run.

I have FTV 1 & 3 on order and looks like the date keeps moving. How's the weight and quality?

Anyone know why the DP19 Real Gone vinyl went from $129 via Real Gone website to $199 via record stores and other merchants? Seems steep considering the cover appears to be a low res blowup of the original cd pamphlet...

One for the money, two For the show! - that's what I think.

I thought it was a cover song and didn't realize it was Keith singing at first. I had it on while I was working and lost track of what was going on. I think Keith's voice was clear and strong and had some range. He sounded a little bit untrained vocally. I thought the backup vocals would have been better without Donna. The kid had some potential for a song a night. I read the lyrics are from Hunter, which kind of surprised me because they don't really sound like him.

Checked tracking, and despite getting a shipping notice on Monday, UPS has no idea where my Cds are. This is borderline ridiculous. Scratch that, it’s not borderline, it is completely ridiculous. Plus I ordered a la carte, so I paid for this “shipping” , if you want to call it that…….no wonder people order off of ebay. Just sayin’

It's been this way for long while. Buy it ala carte and ebay - sure, go for it if that's what suits you. For me the subscription is without question the best deal in my whole purchasing world.

I think Keith was a little out of his comfort zone on Let Me Sing live. Several shows after 9/8 I think Jerry et al start stretching out on the jam and Keith's vocal reentry shows some stress.

As for Hunter's lyrics - for awhile its struck me as strange when folks are surprised that a lyric is Hunter's if its not a jerry tune. All the grief that Samba in the Rain got and to me its lyric is pure straight up Hunter and all good, who cares if it was Vince and not Jerry.

"all good things in all good time"

Your Daves will arrive

To all of our shipping woes. Works for me, might not work for everyone.
So, for most of my life, I had to have EVERYTHING now!! Especially music!! So, I can't advise specifically HOW to accomplish this, but I FINALLY realized 2 things:
1-It WILL arrive eventually
2-I have SO MUCH great stuff to listen to!! I am forever wondering when I'll have time to listen to this disc or that disc so....now is the time. And by the time I'm done listening, my Dave's 42 will be here!!

Anyway as I said, it works for me. It's difficult to be patient, but, I am an old dog trying to learn a new trick.

Music is the Best!!

I am at this moment listening to 12/3/81 on SiriusXM and enjoying it thoroughly, so yes, I appreciate your solution. In this moment, the music is pretty darn good!!

The original drummer for Tangerine Dream and the guy on the kit for Stomu Yamashta's awesome band from 76-77 GO with Steve Winwood, Mike Shrieve and Al Di Meola, has passed away. Always loved those GO lp's back in the day. A true pioneer of the ambient space rock. Via con Dios Think I'll break out that first GO lp now, always a fun listen.
