    What a setlist!... Made me jealous of those who saw this era live. Great sound… like ‘77 was yesterday. @derekb192 on 10/1/77, YouTube

    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

    I told my mother I was going into Portland with friends. I never told her where I went... @jamesmoore3694 on 10/1/77, YouTube

    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.

    Anniversary show 3/28/84. Marin Veterans Auditorium

    39 years ago today, I saw the Grateful Dead put on a great show, at the tiny Marin Veterans Auditorium. It was the first show of 1984.

    official releases vs. streaming

    Dennis: Yes, let's drive them nuts with requests! We don't know what we don't know, so tell us already. If 45 and MSG have not sold out yet, they will, eventually. WMG is not going to lose money, how they guide their program must take us into account. I did not buy the trunk, could get by with 6 or 9 of those shows, they were available for a long while by the each direct from dead.net, picked a few off. Never designated as numbered or limited, now harder to find at 3x price, thankful for the help of friends. WMG could reissue selected Europe 72 shows and they would sell well. Found a simple easy resource to quickly show whats been released officially, through #45, search on deaddisc or GDFD Dead by Date. Chronological and incremental, easy to scan periods/eras, telling us stuff we already know but might have forgotten. SIXTUS: well said, nothing I could add to that, other than my thing, followed them since age fifteen, 55 years now at 70. Did not get over to Rutland for recent DSO, did previously thank Rob Eaton in person for all his crucial work for the archives... JRAD at Jay Peak in August.

    Years vs. Eras

    The more I think back on all that the GD have done, one of the real enticements and awakenings for me at the beginning of this musical journey – once I realized that the recordings were ‘out there’ to find and consume – was the very real and tangible difference in their sound as I ventured across the years of their output. Indeed, the sound of this band, and rightfully so, morphs tremendously over the three decades they all made music together. We all know the general reasons for this, from the burgeoning and relatable hold that rock and roll had on the initiating generation, to numerous personnel changes which literally forced the sound to change (i.e. Pigpen’s passing, Mickey in/Mickey Out/Mickey In, the subsequent ‘Spinal Tap-esque’ revolving keyboard slot, etc.), to of course the addition and/or retraction of various mind-altering substances, as well as the inevitable wear and tear of the ravages of time on band members themselves.

    For a band to have existed for 30 years, it would be really difficult for them not to morph and change with the times given all of the circumstances. But I guess what has really hit me recently, especially after starting to listen more intently to other, newer bands on the upswing, is how much of the Grateful Dead music I reference in my mind as attributable to a particular time, or era. We all know that 66-69 GD is its own special beast. And that 70 was it’s own nuanced moment too. As was 71, then into 72 and the fabled tour, coming back and going into 73 and 74; the sound stays the same but also subtly shifts more toward the jazzy and open-ended. Then the hiatus and return, and once again they had reinvented their sound and approach to a lot of the music. Onward through the 70’s things shifted yet again, culminating with the end of the decade, another roster change, and the music now being played much faster (and arguably less exploratory) which permeated much of the 80’s until Jerry’s brush with death. They got another reboot, and things sort of calmed down as they headed off into their last half decade or so but they morphed yet again with the advent and inclusion of MIDI, love it or leave it.

    I guess what I am saying is that when I think about Grateful Dead music, I immediately think of a year or collection of years (i.e. The Era) in the context of whatever it is that I am referencing. I always have in my mind when listening or thinking about The Good Stuff, the inseparability of the band and the year the music in question or in thought is referring to. Because when you talk about the music, it is always tied to a year or to a performance and thus bringing with it the nuance of that time period, the good, the mundane, the transcendent. Thinking about the GD at different points of time throughout their career provides me with variances in appreciation that I honestly cannot say is received from many other bands, or even Things, for that matter. The fact that the Grateful Dead, on the whole, really need to be considered in their totality when thinking about them or honing in on any one thing, is fairly unique. In retrospect, I’ve been listening to the GD since I was about 13 years old. I’m now in my 50th year. That’s literally a lifetime! I know it pales in comparison to many others’ exposure, but what it has taught me is a really neat expose on longevity and creativity and how these guys continued to keep things new and fresh as a result of who they were and the changes that were forced upon them.

    Be Well People.

    DMCVT - list of vault

    Maybe they don't produce a list because we would drive them nuts about what to do next. We do anyway,,, but a list would make us whine even more! :-)

    .... yeah, where is that last FW69 vinyl?!?!?! :-)

    sidebar - VMP is putting out a box set of Miles Davis. 350 bucks, 7 electric albums. One of the albums (on the corner) is a record store day buy. Box looks nice, may have to pass or wait. Those unemployment blues! :-)

    One of my most favored "moon" songs... just listen how JJ creates such a deep groove that swings in a few seconds. That sweet laid back guitar. I would buy an Ark box in a heartbeat. If they have been listening at all, we are way overdue for a primal/primal transition box, a late 60s Bay Area box, et al. How about publishing an inventory of whats in the vault? And where, oh where, is the final vinyl for FW69??

    Ledded - I liked your post titled Dark Road. To me, the country blues of the 1920's and 30's also has a supernatural quality. The fact that the recordings are often quite crackly adds to this feeling of mystique - you really do feel as though you are listening to music from another dimension. Some of the mythology adds to the vibe - Robert Johnson selling his soul to the devil, Peetie Wheatstraw A.K.A The Devils- Son -In -Law. But the power is in the grooves. Scores and scores of great and otherworldly recordings.

    1967-1968-1969

    I'm not sure years are always the best way of thinking of eras with The Dead. For me, what I think of as primal Dead started when Mickey Hart joined around September 1967. They seemed to be on a continuous, thematic run of creativity from then until they started introducing Working Mans Dead songs, around May 1969. Not that the creativity dried up - it just started shifting, gradually, into another dimension. Looked at like this, that whole era, from late 1967 until mid 1969 - one of the most creative periods in their ( or anyone else's) career, has been completely overlooked in the Dave's Picks series. Even the 1969 shows released in the series so far have been outside this period.
    So, to cut to the chase - high time we had a release from late1967- mid1969!

    I don't think I would buy a 1990's box - maybe if it was Europe 1990, as I was there for three of them. That would be the selling point, I guess, for 80's-90's shows -people would be tempted to buy them just because they were there at the time.

    Nice imagery Ledded.

    As for the box.. I'm not getting a 90's vibe. We have St Louis, then MSG.. so early 70's then early 80's. Neither were multi track. Something of higher sound quality or perhaps some 73 to celebrate a half century.

    I have to think there are a few boxes containing 1" thick reels of magnetic particle coated acetate sitting in the vault waiting to be heard. I'm a little bit surprised there was not more push back on the last box being pulled completely from cassette masters. I enjoyed that box primarily because the years are not very well represented, and shows were strong from the era.. but compare it to say July '78 and it was a big step down in sound quality.

    I think there will be some pressure to step things up, and if there isn't there should be. Or maybe.. (hope I'm wong), they have to scale back on the boxes or they will lose their specialness among what's being released. The last box set was something like $189 I think, during a time of economic instability.. well.. I don't think they want a dud. They really have to step it up a bit.

    All this is moot, however, they surely are well beyond the selection process. Let's hope they selected wisely.

    I do think at some point they have to give us a 68 show or a composite of partials/shorter shows. Geeze Dave.. look beyond the banana boxes, perhaps you will find an orange crate (hint, they're bigger).

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!

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.)

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.

"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.

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!

Long live jerry's 10th finger.

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.

Will they play the same setlist?
