    Wow! Just as when you think eyes is gonna go to drums out of the bliss comes dancing! One of my all time fave moments! Not just classic 77 but classic ever dead! - @emrysdavies1215 on 10/1/77, YouTube

    ...this show was off the hook from the very get go. The Casey Jones is the best I've heard... beginning a jam that goes through each member going off on an instrumental solo. The end has them jamming so hard you can no longer hear them singing through it. Now you know you're in trouble (The Good Kind) when a show starts like that... Weirtheir on 10/2/77, Dead.net

    Holy hell, the 10/2/77 Betty Board sounds incredible... I just wanted to pay homage to this unreleased gem, which features the lovely, tight playing you'd expect of a 77 show with some of the highest audio quality I've ever heard ... What a treat. u/monsteroftheweek13 on 10/2/77, Reddit

    We know where you've been and we're taking you back with the twice as nice DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 45: PARAMOUNT THEATRE, PORTLAND, OR - 10/1/77 & 10/2/77. Back-to-back complete previously unreleased shows on 4CDs? You betcha! Why? Because we couldn't pick one over the other of these two nights that have been described as "fire," "mind-frying," and "crispy" (bit of a theme here) too many times to count. Witness it for yourself when you dig into the inventive medleys and pristine sound, not to mention the first "Dupree's Diamond Blues" since '69 and the first live "Casey Jones" since '74.

    Limited to 25,000 numbered copies, this release was recorded by Betty Cantor-Jackson (with a boost from Bob Menke, more about that in David's video) and has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering. Grab a copy while you can.

    *2 per order. Very limited quantity available.

    And don’t you drink that reindeer pee. Unless you’re not busy for about a month, as Cheech once said to Chong.

    I am always amazed at the ingenuity of humans when it comes to altering consciousness. If there is an herb that can be smoked, a root that can be made into tea, a fruit, berry, or packet of ketchup that can be fermented, a tree bark that can be crushed to a powder and inhaled, and it’s going to get you high, well, somebody figured that out and there are people out there doing it. But reindeer piss? You got to wonder how somebody discovered that one.

    I used to go mushroom hunting on the Oregon coast, some lifetimes ago. Still can’t resist the urge to bend down to check out the blooming fungi, looking for the that tell tale purple bruising. But it’s been a long time since I’ve done any voyaging. Too long, in fact. I need to find a bag, pull an HF, and feed my head out in nature someplace, and soon.

    I will say unapologetically that psychedelics changed my life for the better, and I believe that the vast majority of people would be better humans if they tripped once in a while. I’m glad the laws are changing, even if it inevitably means that the capitalists will be along any moment to find some way to commercialize the experience. I still think that legalizing shrooms for therapy will be like legalizing “medicinal” marijuana, and will eventually lead to more accessibility for more people. The more people try it, the more people talk about it, the more people will want to do it, the better for everyone.

    I got my shipping notice for DaP 45 last night. Which usually just means that somebody printed the label, and it’s going to sit in a warehouse for a week or so, and then take another week to meander the length of California to my door. It’s all good. Plenty of music to dig in the meanwhile. Speaking of which …

    Mahler’s Sixth Symphony (Bernstein/NYPO) (a Phil Lesh favorite!)
    Mingus Big Band: Blues and Politics
    King Crimson: Absent Lovers
    Tom Petty: Damn the Torpedoes
    GOGD: DaP 23 (1/22/78) (very energetic, very cokey, very enjoyable: dig that Space>St Stephen>NFA!)

    Fresh was seldom an option in CO. Had a friend who grew his own fungi in a terrarium but supplies were very limited. We did see fresh frozen that looked like frozen turds and most often the dried form. There was even a "brand" of dried that came in prepackaged cello bags with a colorful art nouveau header card on top with their brand name. I had a friend who was hesitant to take hallucinogens (the Paul McCartney of our posse) but would put some dried ones on top of cannabis to smoke. Seemed a waste to me. Can't say it had any effect as that bowl was passed around. Did more vitamin L than any other method but had some more intense effects from fresh buttons carefully and religiously prepared and a couple of times the purified forms of mescaline crystals. The frozen shrooms and fresh buttons went down well in a milk shake made in a blender. Not sure Don Genaro would approve of that ritual. Never had any other chemical forms, back then or more modern, as those always had the reputation of "bad drugs". Had some wild dreams one time after smoking some opiated black hash though. Now that CO will have those "healing centers" with supervised use I'll bet the previous comment about Pharma jumping in and likely ruining things may happen. I'm sure they are already working on it, at least in less public corners. The great outdoors has always been the best and safest way to indulge for me.
    Cheers

    45 still not sold out? Wait, what?

    Mushrooms - Never a big fan. I recall doing them one time, and feeling this need to really clean up the townhouse I was in, as I had company coming that night. I’m doing everything, including laundry, but I threw these really expensive wool dress slacks I had for work into the dryer, without thinking. They came out GI Joe sized. My best friend’s older brother attended Ole Miss around 1970, and he said the mushrooms were so plentiful, they would collect bags of them. He is the guy that turned me on to two albums I still love: Crosby’s first solo, and the first one by Its A Beautiful Day

    Shipping Notice - On its way, which is likely in two weeks. The second show looks like the gem in this package.

    Dylan - The new Bootleg #17 arriving today, although Time Out Of Mind is not my favourite Dylan. I wish his next bootleg release would be some of the great stuff from his Never Ending Tour. He always travelled with a crack band, especially guitar players, Charlie Sexton, Larry Campbell, and Duke Robillard come to mind, plus his canon of music is massive, so many great songs got played over the years. Even cover songs, Dylan has a way of making them his own. Incidentally, I had bought his new book a few months ago, just getting to it the last few days, but he sure has a way with words.

    Free games for May (snorting Whiskey and drinking Reindeer pee)

    May was the month that we (mostly me) would start to venture out into the cow fields to gather the sacred psilocybin cubensis. Sometimes in April but mostly from May thru September and occasionally in early October. I would go every weekend and gather them. In Florida, South of Kissimmee in a town called Poinciana. There was a road that ran down the side of this cow field on one side, RR tracks on the other. This road had been built for the RR to build a station, but they never build the station. We would drive down this abandoned road about a quarter mile and then pull into a clearing alongside the tracks to park.
    I had heard from the locals and thru my then then wife's brother that this field had been there for about 100 years and always had cows there and there was always plenty of mushrooms. He was right, place was lousy with them, so many that we would only pick the big ones, leaving the smaller ones to grow and spore.
    The shrooms themselves were ancient, depending on the dose, these magical mushrooms would take you astral tripping to just about anywhere you could think of. I myself flew on a winged camel thru the Himalayas and back, then right up to the moon to walk among the mountains there.
    For years we would pick here, never having any hassles from neighboring farms or the man. We would stay out there for hours leisurely picking to our hearts content. Picking them to me was half the fun, then came the best part, the consuming.
    I had heard for years that the ancient Aztecs would consume the sacrament while drinking chocolate and would dip the shrooms in honey. As most of us have experienced, they would have visions and legend has it that they would extremely enjoy themselves. During the experience, the royals would collect their urine and store it until the following day, then they would allow their best followers partake of their urine and experience the "fruit of the Gods". This was a rare honor and only given to the most loyal slave or follower.
    Now I never could read no roadmap and I don't know what the weather might do, but back in the day, if it rained during any of those months, I was out in the fields.
    Santa was a mushroom and magic dust really did make the reindeer fly. Faries wear boots too.
    Brain maintenance is a good way to put it, cleaning out the cobwebs, attitude adjustment, or just to sit and laugh.
    always loved them.
    I remember my first trip, Purple Haze, big hits, crumbly, and soo good, only had to do an 8th, sometimes a quarter, depending upon the circumstances.

    Chuck - great story. That's what you call a tea party.
    I have been put in mind of Jefferson Airplane through various conversations recently, and played "Surrealistic Pillow" for the first time in aeons last night. I was surprised how good it sounds - not just the songs, but the actual sound of it. Quite echoey. Jorma Kaukonen's guitar sounds very different on here than it does on other albums. Less overdriven and blues based. More....echoey. Pleasantly spooky.

    My favourite Bob album, I'm listening to it now midway through the last song, Highlands, 16:32. It's like a trance groove. There are two or three schmaltzy love songs on this disc but most is spooky and cool, haunted Bob at his best.

    Tomorrow is release day for the five disc celebration of this masterpiece, and when I get home from work I shall pour a glass of Basil Hayden, burn it into eyeTunes, pick up a Gibson and strum along for a bit. Ah, the simple pleasures.

    Got a rando shipping notice from Warners as well about the new Dead release... apparently more great music is enroute.

    We're in Stapleton. Same as everyplace else, Manhattan or Middle Earth.

    Peace everyone.

    I've found that elk, deer, coyote, pronghorn and dogs (for 12 years including mine) would give me the most quizzical looks if they were in my psychedelic proximity.

    And it is interesting that mushroom legalization allows people to partake under the safety of a "guide." Okay, not a problem for me. I've been gobbling them solo in the wilderness for 50 years. Guess I've gotten a wee bit of practice...

    Got shipping notice. Countdown to rock 'n roll!

To my simple ears, Jackson Browne's "Redneck Friend" remains David Lindley's greatest rock moment. It is just so kick ass, that song lifts me up every time and I never tire of it. Sizzling slide lines throughout.

Lazy day. Best kind, IMO. Been plugging a '52 Tele tribute into a Carr Skylark with an MXR Carbon Copy delay into an old MXR script Phase 45 on the front end. Magical... glass like tones that ring for days and the spring reverb on the Carr is to die for.

Last five:

Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin III
Grateful Dead - Dave's Picks 45
Sonny Clark - Blues in the Night
Lenny Breau - Guitar Sounds
Beck, Bogert & Appice - Beck, Bogert & Appice

so lucky to see him on tour with Jackson Browne years ago... nice notes Ledded, love that one too, Redneck Friend, a sort of anthem of my late teens. Great music and interview/stories of blues and bluegrass with Peter Rowan just streamed on KPFA, when they asked him to play more, he said let's get back to the music of the Dead... roll right into He's Gone.

I've just had a look at the set lists and noticed that there were two shows played on this date - an early and a late. "Viola Lee Blues" seems to have been played at the early show.That would be worth the price of admission alone. It must have been one of the last times they played it.

Last night was listening to KPFA with the Viola Lee without knowing the show and when it segued into Cumberland I was totally WTF?? is this magic?? Then a killer fall '70 Uncle John's. Went to my very dog-eared copy of deadbase for guidance.

It's starting to read like an obituary column on here.
But no disrespect intended - RIP Gary Rossington. I sort of saw Lynyrd Skynyrd at Knebworth in 1976. A massive festival headlined by The Stones. I had never heard Skynyrd before, and I was so high I couldn't tell my elbows from my knee caps. But I heard "Freebird" on the radio a few months later, and immediately dropped back into the zone - even though I had no conscious memory of having heard it before.
I have heard it since, a couple of years ago I got great dvd/cd of their show that day. It's an incredible live performance - no two ways about it.

Being a transplant to Florida back in 72, Lynard Skynyrd was huge back then. Their first lp released on Sounds of the South records was all over the radio and Free Bird (worn out) was the Florida national anthem. These guys knew how to party and most of them loved to fight. Knock down drag outs that would usually end up with everyone bloody and laughing. Ronnie was their leader and a hard drinking fist fighting rebel if there ever was one. The first time I saw them was their welcome home tour back in 74, right after second helping had been released. Jo Jo Gunne opened the show. That's another story as they were the most professional rock band I had ever seen to that date.
The stars and bars was lowered and the William tell overture starts to play. As it reaches its' peak, Skynyrd comes out playing the opening song to their first lp, I anin't the one with that killer guitar sound that only Gary Rossington had at the time. Laid back and never flamboyant Gary could play the prettiest solo's you ever heard. After the plane crash that sidelined him for over a year, they regrouped as the Rossington-Collins band, released a lp and had a chick lead singer because they felt that no one could replace Ronnie. They did Freebird as an instrumental with a lone spotlight on the empty mic.
The story goes that Ronnie and Steve might have survived that plane crash if only they hadn't been up in the cockpit choking the shit out of the pilot for taking off without any fuel. RIP brother Gary, play it pretty.

Will be playing Pronounced and Second Helping.
Recent new copies of the LPs replacing my long lost originals.
Pronounced was pressed in Czech Republic. 2nd was USA.
Songs of the South and MCA label on both.
Here's to Gary. Cheers

Edit: Listened to the new copy of Pronounced from Czech Rep. and was totally unimpressed with the pressing. Only heard it once before. Very dull sounding albeit clean. While getting that album out I also found an MCA reprint from BITD of the same album. Doesn't have the gatefold with the lyrics/notes inside like the original. Must have found it thrifting and didn't remember that when I bought the two new ones last year. Lo and behold the old MCA reprint totally killed the new one! Way more dynamic, louder, and so much clearer in the mids and highs. Just goes to show. The new Second Helping is much better. 180g and impressive sound from Analogue Productions pressed in USA by Quality Record Pressings from original analog masters and authorized by the record label. Got Needle & the Spoon cranked right now. What a difference!

2nd helping, nice and clean for sure. Another one I pulled out of the back is Gimme back my Bullets, another great record. Ronnie didn't mind fighting, he liked to fight, but he did not like hand guns, worthless pos he used to say, always ruined a good fight,

They are all overrated, lets face it. Still, at least something has sold out pretty soon after it has gone on sale. Even if it is a recording of a show most people have already had for years. On the positive side, it bodes well for re-releases of other shows that in the past have only been partially released. Like Fillmore East February 1970 and Winterland October 1974.

Mornin', rockers!!!

I had intended to post this yesterday, but got caught in a massive traffic jam and didn't have time. So here we are........

Was driving to work and cranking 10/31/70 and smiling............

Decent recordings of both Stony Brook shows have been around for a long time, and the top notch DeLuca-Miller remasters of both shows (including the NRPS sets) have been around for several years, and are highly recommended. For anybody who needs/wants and doesn't feel like waiting until they're officially released, you know where to find me...........

Although they don't capture the over-the-top craziness of the Port Chester shows of a few days later, both Stony Brook shows are solid and perhaps the most complete audio artifacts from the Fall of 1970. Everything you expect from the Dead in 1970---rock and roll, Bakersfield, greasy Pigpen, jams, occasional oddball tunes woven tastefully into the audiuo tapesty. I would prefer that both nights be offically released as one issue, and it would probably sell out fast........

Also noticed that the GEMS remaster of 9/10/72 just hit general circulation...........

Music is the best means we have of digesting time...........

Rock on,

Doc
Music comes from an icicle as it melts, to live again as spring water........

You mean like punching and kicking and gouging eyeballs? Never enjoyed it much myself. Maybe that's why I never really got into Skynnrd. But don't tell Skynnrd cause they probably come kick my ass.

Interesting that a reissue of Cornell, a show that I would've assumed everybody and their moms already owned, evidently sold out in a couple hours, while meanwhile the new DaP which offers not one but two new very very good '77 shows for a fraction of the costs hasn't sold out yet. I guess Cornell is just that much of a THING now. Even tho Buffalo's better. (Yeah, I said it, too.)

With the Cornell 5-LP. Lots of confusion yesterday.
What is up with the "store" side of deadnet?
Typical don't have their stuff together roll out.
Would be helpful to know how many will be pressed this go-round.
Just another grateful day. Cheers

On the Cornell vinyl board I posted in 2018 that I wasn’t impressed with the vinyl release.
That’s because when I opened it the side with Scarlet->Fire had a huge smudge across it.
I eventually got it clean.

"what's this fetish and obsession with vinyl????"

If I had a great sound system and the house to myself on a consistent basis...but I am frequently away from home when I am listening to the GD.

They tried to kill vinyl back in the day and I gave up on it. Besides, vinyl has NOISE and DUST and TIME LIMITS and you CAN'T TAKE IT IN THE CAR.

GRR.

RELEASE SOME FUCKING 1969 GD ON CD, YO!

Grumpy Grumpkins recedes back into his (descriptor of your choice) hole...

....it's actually very surprising to me. Never thought I would see them come back the way they have.
But 180g is nice, as is the larger artwork.

I have been revisiting a lot of my old records since my wife got me a turntable for Christmas. Probably have over 500.
Tonight is a Dead Kennedys night methinks.

....classic record.
Followed that with In God We Trust Inc.
Realized a song in that it's a 45 rpm LP.
Thought I was having a stroke.
No offense Doc.
You got me DK.
Last five. In a roundabout way, I'm showing my hand.
Peter Gabriel announced his tour today by the way.

If you can get FW 69 shows on vinyl for a good price do it. It’s not just the CD’s copied to vinyl. The vinyl says Plangent which the CD’s don’t say.
A few months ago 2-28-69 was still going for around the original price, but last night I saw it for a lot more, so you may have missed the bus on that one.
11-10-67 also sounds spectacular on vinyl.

Got my Dap 45 "glass" today. Ok, sure it's my vault, I'm a terrible reader. I guess I was expecting a "rocks" glass, NOT a shot glass!!!

I'm sorry Dave (though I'm sure Dave has no say), but 35 bucks for a shot glass?!?!?!?!?! Nice though the glass is. And it is a very nice shot glass. But 35 bucks. I felt like an idiot buying a rocks glass for 35, but a shot glass!

That picture on the left, that's what an idiot looks like. Sorry, super idiot because I'll probably the next 3 glasses!

Should have gotten the axe.

RIP Ron "Pigpen" McKernan (September 8, 1945 – March 8, 1973)

fifty years ago today me and a buncha other weirdos were driving down from our forestry camp in Big Sur to our main HQ down in Los Osos (in between Morro Bay and San Luis Obispo) when the DJ on the radio station we were listening to announced Pigpen's passing...I was stunned...I had no idea how poor his health had turned and I also had no idea that seeing him perform with the band the previous year at The Hollywood Bowl would be his last public performance...

Yesterday I asked is that all ya got, we need an announcement. Voila! Bear's Choice 1LP (and maybe a digital download option?). Pigpen lives on!

How is this not yet sold out? I love 10/2 ... 10/1 is nice to have but man that 10/2, especially the 4th disc!!! hottttttttt
25k copies, maybe getting close to a sell out>|? I have never seen a dave's sit this long ...

You are 100% correct.

I buy the vinyl for only stupid reasons. My Collection. I always have this vision that someday my son will either love it or get a small fortune for it.

I too seldomly sit and listen like that anymore. Mostly in front of the computer while working or in car or while cooking.

I think in our old age we look to collection SOMETHING.

Vinyl, cheaper than guns, smaller than cars!

50th Anniversary download now available for per order!

Based on the continual screw ups by Dead.net over digital downloads, there is no way I'm ordering this until at least June!

We return you now to your regularly scheduled madness.
