    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.

    Land of the Navajo

    In the late 90s Pete Rowan was the featured musician on a multi-day float trip with the local river company on the mighty San Juan River. Folks brought their instruments and there was jamming around the campfire every night. After the trip he graciously played a free show in the tiny Nadabar for us folks in town. At one point he started talking about Muley Point, which has one of the most iconic and spectacular views in the southwest, looking south from atop the edge of Cedar Mesa across the Goosenecks of the San Juan to the Navajo Nation including Douglas Mesa, Monument Valley, and beyond. And he finishes with something to the effect that "I wrote this song while I was camped up on Muley Point years ago." And then he played Land of the Navajo.

    Midnight Moonlight holds a special place for me in those Old and in the Way songs. Listening to some of that Boarding House music right now. Nice unexpected music detour for a gray afternoon.

    I Met #8717 Accidentally, in Saint Paul, Minnesota

    Anyone have any books by Ray Robertson? Which ones should I read, please?

    Opera is fine by me, but it has to be live. My wife humors me by coming along, but I'm the one who listens to classical music all day (with breaks for GD, Dylan, and Jazz).

    Sluggish sales? Let's be honest--we have TONS of GD already, so it does become difficult to get too wound up over new releases, unless the release is from a lightly-mined era, or is from recently-recovered tapes of a true classic show. Some of these recent boxed sets might have been better off with just a couple of the gem shows being Dave's Picks instead?

    And yes, if I watch sports (which is mostly soccer), I mute the announcers. It's always fun when the music I'm playing suddenly synchronizes with the on-field action!

    Be kind, rewind.

    p.s. DMCVT, I LOVE that! :) Just took the entire family to Carmen last spring. I've seen it two or three times now . . .

    Carmen

    Confession time... as an all music lover, have enjoyed opera and as a kiddo, sung in the street urchin chorus for Bizet's Carmen performed at the Carter Barron Amphitheater in DC. Loved the Who's Tommy when it came out fifty years ago, of course. OK now I feel much better, back to my regular programming.

    "Busted Down On Bourbon Street". 1/30/70

    53 years ago today, the Grateful Dead were busted down in New Orleans, down on Bourbon Street. They wouldn't play in New Orleans until 1980, when they played a couple of acoustic/electric shows, that would make a nice release.

    Change in IRS Reporting Requirements

    Yes, interesting to hear all the theories.
    However, there wasn't a change in eBay reporting. The change was at the Federal level and was included in The American Rescue Plan.
    All payment platforms, which include eBay, PayPal, Venmo, etc. are required to report to the IRS and the account holder all payments over $600 for the year. The old threshold was $20,000. This is a huge change. It means if you sell your daughter's bike on Craigslist and you get paid through PayPal and it is over $600, it will be reported to the IRS. It would also include your buddies paying you for dinners or drinks through Venmo if it exceeds that $600 for the enter year. This has caused a huge disruption with these platforms, including Ebay. It was such a big issue, the IRS decided not to enforce it for 2022, but warned everyone would have to comply in 2023.

    Okay, I am sure this is really boring, but sure it impacts all types of sales, including Ebay.

    We will have to wait and when #45 eventually sells out. I see the LTTR and the MSG box sets are both still for sale.

    Hope you all receive your #45 soon.

    Not Sold Out Yet

    Interesting to read the different views on the failure to sell out, I do hope it is down to fatigue, either of the 70's generally, or 77 specifically. That said, I do fear PT Barnum maybe nearer the mark and always wondered if the increase to 25k was, perhaps, a step too far.

    What is clear is that whole model is based on each volume selling out. Not necessarily immediately, but reasonably promptly. As soon as volumes stop selling out we descend into the vicious spiral of cherry picking increasing while subscriptions fall. Cherry picking is fine in theory, why shouldn't people only buy the volumes they want? Because it means fewer units sold and consequently the model becoming unsustainable without reducing the numbers.

    I'm not familiar with the new ebay restrictions mentioned, but I've always found it a little ironic that the resellers have always taken quite a bit of stick here, when the reality is that reselling has been absolutely critical to the success of Dave's Picks, building demand and driving numbers up and making it what it is to day. It's worth remembering that each Dave's Picks now sells about four times what the Road Trips releases used to sell and about half of those were full shows.

    On a more optimistic not, didn't volume 41 take a while to sell out?

    That Sounds Right To Me

    Assessing sales and what it means is always tricky.
    Hobo Song and Land of the Navaho always get me.
    So The Who pulled it off with Tommy, why not? I could see some story pulled from the ballads and expanded into an opera. So many, Jack Straw comes to mind in a dust bowl hobo storyline. Or Terrapin with the Lady & The Fan story.
    The GD Movie's first few minutes of animation work for me as almost a visual opera but I'm a cartoon child and all the classical music I know is from the Loony Tunes cartoons. And all my knowledge of ancient history comes from Fractured Fairy Tales with the voice of Edward Everett Horton.
    Cheers
    That New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival line-up is humongus (or is that humungus?)!

    On the other hand

    It may be better that they take a while to sell out, so non subscribers ( mentioning no names) can pick up a copy. It would be more worrying if they sold out on day one, before everybody that wants a copy can get one. That would light up the board, if that happened ! But all the Dave's Picks have sold out reasonably quickly, which is the main thing. So maybe they have got it right after all.
    It wouldn't do any harm to move out of the 70's, though. My preference would be to go back to the 1960's, but there are surely others would be just as keen for the series to move on into the 80's and 90's. I personally might not buy them, but I am sure there are many that would.

    The Dead might not have played opera, but they look as if they going out to hear one on the cover of "Go To Heaven."

    Opera &GD, etc.

    If only the GD would have done an opera! (kidding). I have seen a few and get them although they are not usually my thing. I had a colleague who's side hustle was support and production of Operas, he took us to see one of Mozart's Magic Flute once, a project he helped see through. It was fun enough.

    My favorite opera moment has to be Tim Robbins playing \Mozart, the Marriage of Figaro over the PA in the Shawshank Redemption. A pretty powerful moment in that film and a testament that Music can heal. For me, a great song to pull me through tough times is The Hobo Song. An up-tempo bluegrass song, the words, however, speak of deep despair.

    I guess I am in the minority, I don't blame EBay taxes for Dave's 45 still being available. For some reason, the Fall '77 shows seem to be less desirable than Spring and Summer. I think the perceived drop in demand has more to do with an impending recession and resulting less disposable income for many, but the real reason is the 25,000 subscription number. Remember.. the first year the subscription was capped at 12,000 copies. Even us diehards openly discuss not needing every single release. As much as I love 1977 GD, I have listened to it a ton.

    It is going to be hard for Rhino and the GD to keep the hype going at 25k copies. Treading carefully as they must, the greatest hype period was probably in 2015 with Fare The Well, etc.

    One last comment, the first release each year always takes longer to sell out. Not sure exactly why.. perhaps it's because each year attracts a churn of new Deadheads that got on the bus late and buy a few ala carte CDs while the people that drop off the wheel and quit subscribing affect subscription numbers, which they can control somewhat and the impact is largely hidden to us.

    I don't think it's primarily an EBay phenomenon, but I could be wrong.

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.

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.

Daverock, I it was the last one, they jammed it into Cumberland Blues.

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!

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.)

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.
....must. resist....
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.

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...

Rhino has a 40th anniv.
Anything new in this?
Cheers

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.
