    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.

    A Guy Just Wants To Take A Leak

    HendrixFreak: I love the Jorma "encounter" story. The closest I had to that was running into Bruce Palmer in the bathroom of a little club in the Toronto area he and Dewey Martin were playing in the mid-80s with some reconstituted Buffalo Springfield (I think it was billed as "Buffalo Springfield Again", until Young & Stills gave then a cease & desist). Same kind of reaction, I'm jabbering away, and he clearly just wants to take a leak and make like a baby and "head out"! He looked pretty bloated from the Springfield heyday, and a pretty unkempt beard and guru shirt. Kinda sad to see some guys having to play shit gigs for pennies after their glory years (I thought the same thing seeing Gene Clark and Michael Clarke with some Byrds Revisited thing at a few clubs in town)

    VGuy - You are likely right - odds are the Leafs fold like a Coleman Junior Camper in a windstorm, but I still have my silver cross and garlic at the doors to keep out the Beast - the "Anti-Leaf" - and I'm killing some home chores, playing tunes, including DaP 15 (Nashville), a favourite. It's a sickness, this fan thing.

    Thinking Of Zoe And Violet

    And my lost friend Zooey the border collie. Named after a character in J.D. Salinger's "Franny and Zooey". My Zooey was a girl however. If you have a troubled teen/young adult who is saying is that all there is, have them read it. It helped me a lot back then. And don't be put off by it being Salinger. Nothing like his required read in school about Holden Caufield except the social status of the characters.
    Cheers to lost friends.

    Courage, Nappy Bro

    The aging process for cats can be a little mysterious. Zoe was "fully intact," let's say, until about six months ago and no one could believe she was 19+ -- soft fur, well-groomed, alert and mischievious. Slower, but we were good. She was always a big talker, then she went quiet for a while. Then she started communicating with little sounds from her chest (where the feline "trill" comes from) instead of normal vocalizing. Two months back we went with an ultrasound: thicker wall on the small intestine than normal and we went on a steroid, which typically has a limited efficacy over time. Then in the past month she gave up jumping on the chair that enabled her to jump on my writing desk, so I had to lift her up. Lastly, she started missing her box. I read some bona fide online guidance on geriatric cats to get a handle on likely symptoms of advanced age. As my first two cats (Hannibal, 1964-1986, and Jorma, 1978-1998) were long haulers, I wasn't absolutely sure what to expect, so a little research might help with the difficult decisions. I waited until Zoe gave perceptible signs of distress -- maybe a few days later than an ideal decision should have come.

    Okay, time for me to lighten up...

    Story about Jorma... I'm in Boulder at the Blue Note around 1983, for three nights, two sets a night, by the actual, real Jorma playing solo. I'm at the urinal when he pulls up next to me. We nod. "Jorma, I named my cat after you." A slight shake of the head from Jorma. My interpretation: "F***ing Boulder!"

    Jorma slips away while I'm still at it. The bathroom door is a foot away, on the other side of a divider that blocks the view from outside the door. The door slams open and my buddy John strides in as Jorma attempts to slide out. I look over the divider and John -- who is shitfaced -- brings his hand down onto Jorma's shoulder and yells "REMEMBER BAY RIDGE!!" (Apparently John had a hot tape of Tuna in Bay Ridge, Long Island.) Jorma executes an expert twist and shuck and escapes out the door. I'm just tidying up when John pulls up to the Jorma Memorial Urinal and, with smug satisfaction, says "Hey! I was just hanging out with Jorma!" I gave him a slight shake of the head. "F***ing Boulder!"

    A Belated Three Cheers for Zoe!!!

    It is a cosmic shame that our pets' lives are so much shorter than our own. Then again, that means that if you're a pet person, you probably get a chance to share time with several pets along the way. Vguy nailed it about how losing an unconditionally loving and trusting furry companion can hit you harder than the loss of a close human bean. I've never gone wrong following my Aunt Shirley's advice, and not waiting to find my next dog – there're lots of animals out there who need you (and vice versa). In any case, if there's such a thing as reincarnation, I request to be recycled as one of MY OWN PETS 🤪

    Dave's 4TOO!: This "Eyes" – sheesh the whole disc 3 and the bonus CD from "Playing" to the end are mesmerizing (the sometimes faraway WOS vocals notwithstanding). Having trouble not hitting "Replay" over and over. . . Help!

    right now Mrs Nappy and I are going through a tough time...our dear sweet fur baby girl Violet (AKA Pookah Bear) was diagnosed at the beginning of the year with a small cell feline abdominal cancer...we were told then that she had anywhere from 8 - 14 months if we kept her on her steroid program...possibly longer if we went with chemo...unfortunately the chemo treatments would've required extensive trips to the vet, a round trip of 170 miles each time...she hates being in the car...also we would've had to try and keep a separate litter box from her brother Mr Jinks for two days after chemo had been administered...they have shared the same litter box for almost 13 years so that was mission impossible...the past few months she has been fairly normal, good appetite and running around the house...when we took in these two in November '09 we figured they were 6 months old so we made their birthday May 15...over the past few days though she is showing signs of listlessness, poor appetite and sleeping a lot in her "hidey hole" in our bedroom closet...We talked today to her vet about an increase in dosage of the meds we give her and we'll start a new regimen tomorrow...Bless my little pookah bear....

When mine got sent back we checked with the PO and they said it only had the physical address info, not the PO Box.
So for whatever reason the label wasn’t printed the same/correctly? It seemed like knowing that helped Rhino?
Like you, I’ve not had other issues. Fingers crossed it hasn’t happened since. Good Luck amigo!

Oh, is that avatar a Chork? Are you into Leftover Salmon? Played in a band called Wave Mountain Riders BITD. We had an original song called Chork: about being on Salmon tour and what happens when ya mate a pig and a chicken! Fun stuff lol, your avatar brought back fond memories!

....waiting for the mail carrier.
Playing disc 2 of Boxillas Cape Cod '79 offering.
You know whats on it.
My anticipation is high.
Edit. Leftover Salmon gets my nod. Great band.
Govt Mule and Los Lobos coming here soon.

I’m glad to hear your experiences have been positive, too.

My avatar is a “Buster” in reference to the song by my favorite working band, moe.

What the hell. That was a terrible first round draw for our beloved Leafs.

I know I said the Lighting won’t win three times in a row, but they’ve got a way better goalie. We may be looking at another first round exit. If they don’t win game one tonight that really puts the pressure on them. Good luck.

I’m just waiting on the puck drop now. A big “Gulp” going against Tampa Bay, but I think this is Auston Matthews’ year.
Regardless, the playoffs are the best, and always plenty rough! Love it!
Deep breath….

Really stupid penalty, but it seems to have energized the Leafs. They had more SOG than Tampa during the PK.

Normally I would say the game is over, but this is the Leafs.

Is anyone else having issues with the audio feed? On my broadcast, the audio is almost a full second ahead of the video. Really annoying.

This Auston Matthews is something else. A kid that grew up in Arizona may be the best Toronto Maple Leaf I’ve ever seen in 60+ years watching.

Note to self: Must order new Garcia release. Expectations are muted, as there has been so many Keystone releases to date in both series, all his bands, so I’m expecting more of the same loose arrangements, and fun playing, with no surprises.

....aww. Phil laying it down.
Like a warm blanket.
Lemme get up in there. Thanks.
Edit.
That Big River raised both eyebrows.
That's what I'm talking about.
Slam dunk. It really doesn't get much better.
Had to shift down to Ramble-On.
Some gears were ground, but the foot found the clutch eventually.
Sounds awesome.

....I've caught at least 2 slipknot references....there are several runs Jerry makes in The Other One where he is clearly playing the primordial riff.

There is another brief moment another reference gets made toward the beginning of the Playin jam on the bonus disc.

Ears are astute, and will remain perk'd.

Now back to your regularly scheduled GD sammich of choice.

Wow. Evidently, the USPS has the ability to travel time!

Checked my DaP shipping progress this morning at about 7:30am. The website showed that at 5:30am, the shipment was in my city’s post office. (Yay!)

BUT it also showed that at 7:41am (ten minutes in the future!) it would materialize in San Leandro, CA, about 80 miles away. AND at 11:41am (more than four hours into the future) it would leave there. WTF?

So, I think we can conclude that either a) the postal service is capable of manipulating time and space or b) those tracking details are complete bullshit.

Ah well. Either way I'll probably get the DaP this week.

I finally found a show I am willing to attend

DAP 13 has been one of my faves as well along with the 73 UCLA show as far as audio goes. This release is just a pleasing to my ear as #13. To me the pedal effects (especially Phil's) are extra meaty and dynamic to my ears a nice example are the Moog effects (sounds like they are Moog anyway) in HCS jams. Dare I say I like the audio dynamics more so than on 13?! Very nice release. Pleasure to listen to for sure.

04/25 Order information received by UPS
04/26 Shipping mail received
05/03 Package received for processing in Fontana

It looks like it might be delivered this year.

...but how much will it cost? I'd forgotten about those three letters, USP, for a while, but coming on here, and seeing them typed out it all came rushing back. I went to check my bank statements, to see if they ever paid me back for the money they overcharged me for delivering the box in October. And they did - £32.59 paid back to me in March. I had to be firm with them, as I recall. Firm and persistent.. but fair, I like to think.

Luckily Dave's Picks are sent by Mail Innovations. This means that UPS pass the parcel to USPS. It is USPS who ship it across the pond and give it to the national customs authority. The local customs then ask for payment of VAT and administrative costs and subsequently pass the goods on to the national postal service who deliver it to your door.
When it comes to box sets then the whole process is carried out by UPS with all their ineptitude and mistakes which, as we have experienced, can result in huge costs that have no basis in fact or law. It is a long and frustrating task to sort out their mess and get ones money back.
I can understand that our pals in the US of A prefer UPS to USPS but they don't have to deal with customs etc.

The Me and Bobby Mcgee highlights how they were just learning how to use the microphones for the wall of sound. If they backed up a bit and instead of singing into the top mic they were singing into to both with the lower mic being out of phase, then the vocal signal canceled out. Fascinating to hear the learning in progress.

DaP 42 showed up in the mail today. I immediately ripped it and loaded it into iTunes. I took Dave's advise and built a playlist with the Bonus Disc, DaP 13 and DaP 42 (in that order). Listening to (and enjoying it) right now!

Simonrob-yes, I don't remember paying excess charges for the last Daves Picks I ordered. Just the box.
With the box they told me that it had been classified as containing items of clothing-which for some reason are taxed more heavily than cds. That was just what one person said though-it seems a very random process.

I don't know JJC. It sounds like they all fade out and fade back in at the same time as if there's something else going on.

JiminMD tough ti say. I am a few songs in and overall things sound good, but some bits sound distorted or overdriven. This could just be the sound people getting the beginning of the show straightened out. But I would say so far it goes to Dave's Picks 13. Just starting Sugaree.

Jerry sounds good. That's all I care about :-)

Count me among the minority, but I love my USPS. UPS can suck my kiss. In the end USPS bring my shit, ups takes forever to hand off to them, but once they have,,,, I usually get same day.

Mine has followed its usual route: passing within a mile and a half of my house, and a quarter mile of the PO, twice! Once going to Denver, then all the way back across the state to GJ. So now it’ll be another day to come halfway back across the state again. Yeeesshhk, hey, as long as it gets here : )
