    With a wink and a nod from Bear, we've peeled back those banana boxes to find some of the oldest and rarest of all recordings of the Dead including the double dose of shows that make up DAVE’S PICKS VOLUME 43. The two virtually complete performances from San Francisco 11/2/69, Live At Family Dog At The Great Highway, and from Dallas 12/26/69, McFarlin Auditorium, are complementary in their clarity and consistency thanks to Bear himself, and in their ability to foreshadow where the Dead were headed in the years to come. If the two killer 20-minute+ "Dark Stars" don't get ya, how about the Pigpen-centric sets featuring "Midnight Hour," "Next Time You See Me," "Big Boss Man," "Good Lovin'," and the once-lost-now-found complete rendition of "Dancing In The Streets," or the first full acoustic set ever performed? And we're certain you'll be fascinated to uncover the "Mystery Of Bear's Banana Boxes" as told by Starfinder Stanley, Hawk, and Pete Bell in the liners.

     

    Limited to 25,000 numbered copies, DAVE’S PICKS VOLUME 43 was recorded by Owlsey "Bear" Stanley and has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering. Grab a copy while you can.

    Of all the great 'large' guitarists, there was Garcia and West. The rest were thin.

    Great for Leslie West & Mountain to be mentioned here...one of the few times I was able to see them they were third on the bill at the Olympic Auditorium in LA, 1970...Second billed was Johnny Winter (with Edgar) and headlining was Frank Zappa and The Hot Rats Band...fried to the gills on Orange Sunshine...this little hippy dude was walking through the crowd dosing anyone who wanted to...he had a long fringe suede vest with "Sunshine" embroidered on the back...he passed by us twice....By the time the opener (a band called "Wolfgang" that Graham was promoting) finished we were definitely on...Mountain came out and tore it up...West was such a big man it looked to our fried eyes that he had a violin strapped on, not a guitar....

    VGuy- I have seen them before. Only once about 15+ years ago. They were very enjoyable. They are combo of what I can best describe as a Zappa-Prog rock jam band. They are all talented musicians and they are band I would like to see again for sure. I am not familiar with their originals, but the tend to throw in some covers. When I saw them, the played a nice version of Led Zeppelin's "Fool In the Rain". I think they are worth checking out.

    When the kids had killed the man

    AJS - I may have got this wrong - but I'm not sure if either Phil or Bob actually played bass or guitar before they met Jerry. They both literally learned to play in counterpoint with him -which may account for their unusual styles. I have never heard anybody who played either bass or guitar like they did. Which was part of what made the band so unique, of course.

    It's curious when some bands lose their guiding light - and go on to be successful in their own right. Off the top of my head, I would say Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac and New Order - who developed out of Joy Division - were like that.
    It doesn't happen with most - as you say - The Doors weren't very interesting without Jim Morrison, and I can't imagine The Jimi Hendrix Experience would have sold many tickets without Jimi Hendrix.

    Agreed about Garcia, but that is not unique to this band. Where would The Doors be without Morrison? U2 without Bono? Countless others.

    I recall hearing an interview yeas ago ( I can't recall the source so I could be mistaken) with Garcia contemplating where the band members would be without him.

    music for free. And not.

    The least expensive gigs I went to were free festivals in the mid 1970's. With hitching there would have been no money spent on transport, no money spent on accomodation - I didn't even have a tent at first. The main band I can remember seeing was a spacey group called Here and Now, and Nik Turner who had recently left Hawkwind. The fag end of the hippie era.

    The most expensive gig would have been The Stones in 2003-black market ticket, trains, hotel - I even had a meal before that one. The Stones was the better deal, for me.
    So if Dead and Co mean as much to someone as The Stones meant to me, I'd say it is worth it, even if it is expensive.

    The last show I attended

    The last show I attended was Jackson Browne at the Albert Hall, 5 or so years ago. l paid £60 for two AAA tickets at a charity auction, i was the only bidder. We didn't go backstage after the show, what would I do there at my age? He was very good, really enjoyable. The hotel down the road cost us £150 for the night, but there you go. The first show I ever attended cost 50 pence (about 75 cents in those days maybe), Genesis at our local club in Autumn 1972. It was always 50 pence unless the band for the night had a single in the charts when the promoter put the price up a bit. He was a decent bloke,must have lost money many weeks, there was a show every Sunday, but seemed to be in it for the music and to see us all enjoy ourselves.

I just pulled up the Los Lobos setlists Hendrix and those were two hot Lobos sets you all caught, too. NFA-Bertha to close night one and then a Mas y Mas jam with Trucks and company after a cover of Don't Keep Me Wonderin'! Plus an early Wicked Rain! And that is the opening act to be followed by scorching TTB sets. Lucky group.

Clearly we are all test participants in a new GD time warp LSD experiment.
Minutes ago, I received my DaP 43 shipping notice via email … and I picked up my copy 6 hours ago in my mailbox.
The next phase of this experiment will include (hopefully) receiving orders in our mailboxes even BEFORE we order them.
There is nothing routine about a GD recording or their online music ordering process.
Thanks Dave L and co…the music is great!

Don’t panic people.
For the last 2-3 years I’ve generally received DaP’s on Monday/Tuesday after release day, but would get the tracking number email a week before release day. But then tracking would say ‘no info’ for several days, then the DaP would start moving, and then I would get it.
This one still showed up right after release day, but I didn’t have any tracking info. And although I wondered where it was, I also wasn’t tortured by watching the tracking and seeing lack of movement.
So hopefully everyone gets theirs soon.

Sounds good so far, and a nice gift to open on Jerry’s bday.
Thanks Dave/Rhino and crew, and Owsley!

————-
Per the description for this release:

Bear’s archive of Sonic Journal recordings had been kept safe for him for years within the Grateful Dead’s vault—over 1,300 reels of tape stored in heavy-duty cartons like old banana boxes
————

So, the Sonic Journals are in the Vault, and yes, it is possible for Rhino to release the GD recordings.
I wonder if they have, and preserved, HendrixFreak’s adopted reel(s).
(I don’t remember what show he adopted).

My only Jerry bday show was 8-1-94.
Thanks for the floor seats GDTS!
The Jam out of Space and into Watchtower was pretty cool and had grate lights.

I too have experienced the shipping notice/postal time warp. My DaP 43 arrived today. I have not yet received a shipping notice email. It was a nice surprise to come home and find it in my mailbox. I am ripping the CDs to my computer as I type this. I am looking forward to this listening to this one. I have short road trip tomorrow as I am heading out from the Burg' to Blossom to see Phish. So this will be playing on my drive to and from the venue.

Once again I have to salute Dave L. and the crew for this release and for the MSG Box set. We are really getting a nice variety of GD from different eras.

made its way here this morning. fastest delivery after an official release date in years. seems like they all went out at same time rather than in small batches sent over a week or more. a double dose of Dark Stars? Yes please! thanks to everybody who made this possible. we are so lucky.

speaking of lucky. wish I could have been there with the Red Rocks crew. pure myth time to see that level show in that crazy beautiful setting.

I have just received a shipping notification email for #43. Such mails seem to be rare so I may print it, frame it and hang it on the wall. But then again...

UPS tracking shows that it was received in Fontana, CA on 7/26 and it departed the international carrier facility on 8/1. It has also shown up in Asendia's tracking system.

Everything seems to be going fairly quickly apart from sending the shipping confirmation email. Normally the shipping confirmation email arrives before the package reaches Fontana.

Edit: Less than 2 hours after receiving the shipping confirmation email I received a second, almost identical shipping confirmation email. The tracking numbers are identical but in the second mail the quantity shipped is shown as 0 so I'm not expecting to receive two copies.

It's as if Dave thought he heard someone question whether they were scraping the bottom of the Vault. "This should allay any concerns".

Hendrixfreak I can't even imagine seeing that '73 show on Jerry's Birthday (or the two before it for that matter). Was the sound kick-ass in those days? I've always wondered what the fan experience was pre-wall of sound. Sometimes you hear the band asking the crowd if it's loud enough. But I digress. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I read 8/1/73 was the last show with a Strat. Whether it was the Nash / Alligator Strat or the Veneta brown sunburst is anyone's guess.

Thank you Mo for your belief in Rock & Roll as an art form, and for giving voice to scores of ground breaking acts (ex - Jimi Hendrix), and for believing in the Grateful Dead, when the corporate accountants said to cut them loose.
It’s not often you give light to record executives, but Mo Ostin is worthy of the shout out.

August 2, I have not as yet received Davis picks 43 any reason for the delay no shipping notice either

So today I know Dave's 43 will finally land here in NYC why? because I have informed delivery with USPS I saw it 2 days ago for the first time, this morning out for delivery great. Stay with me here, just about 3 minutes ago I received a shipping notice from Dead.net telling me my order is on the way yet when I hit tracking it can't find it as if it had not been sent yet. On 7-20-22 the dead.net site was hacked or had a catastrophic crash, that is why if you look at the site you see all sorts of past items miraculously have reappeared! The resident computer geniuses obviously don't want to say this. What the hell would it take to tell everyone you have had some issues and to bear with us? Unless of course peoples data has been breached. What is it dead.net(actually warner entertainment) just to be clear? Customers deserve an explanation. That is the least you could do.

I don't know if they nicknamed the system they hauled around in 1973, but it might have been better than the Wall, at least for vocals. It's not as if they had a crappy system, then the Wall became the standard for one year. The '73 systems ... you can hear it on the tapes of the outdoor shows: loud, clear, easy on the ears.

I got both my copies of DP43 on Saturday and Monday I got an email that they were on their way. It's almost like the early tapes that circulated: there was always some glitch on the tape. Always.

Received shipping notice at 9am this morning and received 2 hour later. Now that is USPS at work.

Of course, means their tracking network needs a lot of work.

Worked my way thru the Fillmore West box over the last 2 weekends to get my ears ready.

Forgot how great that box is. Have not listened to the box since I added a sub woofer almost 3 years ago. Man does the sub woofer change the entire dynamics of the box. The 16 track with Bob and Betty, and the alchemy of Bear's mind regarding sound really stand out.

Hope these can reproduce the sound stage as well as the fillmore west, but have not researched these tapes yet. Have some other Bear thought later.

Shipping notice arrived three hours later. Celebrated Jerry yesterday with a deep dose of the June76 box. A phoenix that, we hardly knew if/when/how they would come back after extended hiatus. Listening to second #43 disc now, zowie, been waiting a long long time for this sweet old stuff. Nice to know so many of us will be sharing this music over these next dog days of August. Thanks to all at OSF/dead.net/Rhino/WMG who made this happen. I should be able to stop asking about a 60s box for a few weeks.

Mine arrived yesterday. Listened to the first disc so far. Amazing how great this sounds for being such an old recording. Bear had his system down. Much respect to his foundation for taking the extra care to pass along the original engineers wishes. These Sonic Journals are truly special.

I love that these past couple of years Dave has been hitting such a wide variety of these pieces of history.

Maybe close out the year with 9/26/91 or a December 90 offering. It would be cool to show a little love for the Vince era with and or without Bruce after 43 of these releases.

Currently the 8-CD Waiting For Columbus Box is listed at the Rhino store as “not currently available”.

I didn’t think/realize that it was limited edition.
Or did the whole Rhino website get hacked so bad that nothing is working?

Excellent, said while rubbing my hands together like Mr. Burns.

This whole release is good, but disc 3 is stellar. Dig that both Dark Stars have a bit of the Soulful Strut interlude. It starts about the 23 minute mark and ends just before the 26 minute mark in the Dark Star on the Family Dog 11-2-69 show. On the Dark Star from the 12-26-69 show it starts at just before the 16 minute mark and mostly ends at about 19 minutes. If you don't know what I mean, check utoob for the instrumental tune Soulful Strut by Young-Holt Unlimited from 1968, beautiful song, covered on several Dark Stars and I think a couple of Dancing in the Street as well, I think the version on the 1970 show from the 30 Trips Box has it. The "jam" after the Dark Star from Dicks Picks 2 from 10-31-1971 is the closest to a straight up cover of the original song. I don't hear Tighten Up by Archie Bell and the Drells, that has a different sound and lacks the gorgeous melody of Soulful Strut.

Really dig that New Speedway Boogie too. More please.

and just lovely that we get it during the Days Between, thanks everyone involved with this very special release. 69 was indeed a very magical year.
8-3-69 check this one out too, David LaFlamme on Violin and Charles Lloyd on Sax, another gr8 Dark Star.
"Shall we go, you and I...."

PTB: thanks for reminding us, among a number of 60s shows, that one is a special stand out for the eventual 60s box. Love to see others thoughts on which shows should be short listed for a 60s box. Give the people what they want! We might treat the "primal" dead concept as almost anything up to and including 1969, when things began transition that summer, cowboy tunes in, Jerry's down with lap steel etc. #43 shows this transition well, cover does justice too, LiveDead girl dancing with skeletal cowboy, Gibson SG crossnecked with an acoustic.
