    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.

I have a bunch of shirts for which I have affinity.

Alice in Wonderland t-dye that I purchased at the Psychedelic Shop, San Fran, December 1986. Starting to fade some, dont wear it often. Also have a Psychedelic Shop shirt, which has a wizard projecting lightning bolts into an orb with a key in it. Very cool. Also December 1986.

My favorite is the 1977 copyright shirt by Ed Donahue I bought also in 1986 at a head shop in Greenwich Village, Manhattan. My understanding, Ed stuff sold in NE only. It is also on Dave's #39, the guy coming out of the house/camper has it underneath another shirt. You can search Ed Donahue 1977 GD shirt and find the image. I brought it home and took it to an old hippy friend. He airbrushed the back with a combined American Beauty image. It has the rose but says Grateful Dead instead of American Beauty. The GD is the same letting on the back of the album. Then on the bottom of the shirt he improvised, he brushed say 5 dancing skeletons. All with varying states of the skeleton. Dancing, head on, to dancing head missing. In between, it is being taken from the head. I wore it to maybe 5 or 6 GD concerts, it is "my precious." In February 2016, I wore the last time at a Widespread Panic show. People were blown away by it. Got me several cocktails and much smoke during the show. My hometown has always been ultra cop. Search any body any time. New regime. As I walked out of the concert hall, the fuzz was standing at the doors for exit. Except, they were handing out 24 oz bottles of water and wishing all to "Be Safe." Within 10 feet, thru 2 sets of doors, were the nitrous mafia, selling balloons. Pretty sure the cops just thought they were selling helium to go with the circus comes to town vibe.

Nice that this year, get to see 5 shows in two weeks. Panic for 3 and Phish for 2. Never thought we would get here, but we made it. I am so glad.

G

always wish I had more time here...from last week my mother is still kicking, but again, at peace. So thanks again for kind words. Y'all be Fantastic!!!

Oh yeah, I woolite clean only and wear a tshirt under my tie dyes.

Hey rockers!!

So here I am at work...............need I say more?

4/6/69: Concur with Billy The K. Loved this show since I first heard it. Yes, those Fillmore West and Ark shows are awesome, but this is the one I'll carry with me into the afterlife. OMG that Cryptical reprise, Garcia on the Death Don't, the classic pulled plug Viola Lee Blues!! Where is the rest of the broadcast?

4/6/71: Oddballs for all us oddballs. Did somebody spike the water, or was it in the air? And that crazed Truckin' to close the show---very very unusual position. Hey, how about a Manhattan Center mini-box????

Whatever your life's work is, do it well. A man should do his job so well that the living, the dead, and the unborn could do it no better......

Rock on!

ESPN sports writer Wright Thompson is wearing some sort of GD stealie hat on the Masters pre-tournament show. Cannot identify the symbol inside the skull though. Some sort of shield or crest? Stylish dark grey tweed hat with black brim. Doubt if it came from dead net. Oh, and to really ungolf it he's wearing what looks like a bowling shirt.

Wembley Empire Pool

My first "bootleg" cassette was a phenomenal audience, maybe the Wagner source or some other FOB, from this the 1st Red Rocks show. All of Set I then beginning Set II through Scarlet and the segue into Fire. A brilliant recording that perfectly captures both the music and the atmosphere of that legendary venue. To my mind without question one of the best first sets of the era, every song is right there, one killer version after another. The Cold Rain opener Set II is my favorite. That tape put you right there DFC.
The cut came right as they transitioned into Fire. I had to wait years to hear the rest. When the Bettys hit the scene this show was inexplicably a mono version split onto 2 channels, a real disappointment. So glad to get that fixed for the box.

7-7-78, the show I "saw" from the parking lot while being told to leave by various security personnel. I did find my friends later and did my job as designated driver. Seemed like we got those teases again in '79 at the rained out RR show in McNichols. Denver is a Nobody's Fault But Mine town. Other towns that always seemed to get a certain song?

A rumbling and rolling Casey Jones started my music listening today, misidentified as 10-16-74 (Bobby’s Birthday Bash - alliterate that!), likely was the next night. If any song shouts “Happy Easter” it’s…not Casey Jones, but it still gets your toes tapping all the same.

Welcome to the playoffs Seattle! I don’t envy your challenge of Vegas, Dallas, LA, but welcome to the show. Leafs tuned up Montreal last night, they are firing on all cylinders, so let’s get this season finished, and on to the big boy games! Team to watch: AVs.

Easter doesn't seem to have attracted the same cachet with rock n' rollers as Christmas. Apart from the above mentioned album by the 13th Floor Elevators and Calvary by Quicksilver Messenger Service, nothing immediately comes to mind. I'm not sure if The Dead ever did anything in recognition - either in concert or song.

The ultimate piece of music for this day, for me, remains "Dark Was The Night - Cold Was The Ground" by Blind Willie Johnson. A true masterpiece.

Not specifically to do with Easter, but Biblical imagery crops up in many Dead songs - ones they covered and those written by Barlow and Hunter. There must be a list of these online somewhere...off the top of my head, in those three categories, I can think of "We Bid You Goodnight", "Samson and Delilah", "Greatest Story", "Brother Essau", "Mississippi Half Step" and of course "Palm Sunday".

We saw them once on Easter Sunday. Forget when, but it was during the time Phil started singing Box of Rain again and the crowd would chant let Phil sing.

This show my buddy brought an inflatable rabbit about 3 foot tall, wrote on it let Phil sing (or Box?) and sent it down thru the crowd. Ended up on stage and they did the request. Fuzzy on details. I'll have to check with buddy.

I think it was Dennis mentioned purchasing the vinyl Garcia “Reflections” album recently that got me thinking - then playing - that album. The song Comes A Time might be the one Dead tune I took the longest to come around to like, but is now a song I really like hearing when it gets played. Funny how some songs knock your sock off first listen, but others have to fester, take their time.
PS - Oh Babe, It Ain’t No Lie is also one cover that so perfectly fits Jerry’s world-weary delivery. A remarkable recording.

I like the earliest versions of this, from Fall 1971. Beautifully sung , and with the extra verse. Strange that it dropped out of rotation for nearly 4 years, before reappearing in 1976 on "Reflections" and on stage.

If I was to pick a song I didn't initially like, but which grew on me over time, I would go for "Tennessee Jed". I wasn't too keen on "Ramble On Rose" either, but they both sound much better to me now than they did when I was a sprog.

Love this song, always have from first listen that I can recall. Not big on Casey Jones, never have been. Ramble On Rose depends on the version, and sometimes my mood. Love the show opening version from DaP 34 6/23/74. It Must Have Been the Roses is less of a hit. Love Row Jimmy, and Tennessee Jed has always hit the spot (5/21/77 with the envelope filter on for the solo is a particular fave). In an irony of sorts "all of my friends" agree that Black Peter is a downer. I have found two that I actually really like, the aforementioned 6/23/74 and DaP 33 10/29/77. Otherwise, it's a plodding, non-melodic bore. Mr. Lemieux wildly disagrees with that assessment, as that is plainly one of his favorite songs given the incredibly disproportionate number of versions released on DiPs or DaPs. Back to ones I dig, Me & My Uncle I like for the ways they mix it up, either lyrically, or musically. It also works extremely well for a break in a trippy Other One. I can't stand Little Red Rooster. My standing rule for years has been to listen to it once on first listen of a release, just to see if there's any reason to ever subject myself to that screeching again or not, and have never found one worth diving back into. 1980s and after versions of Looks Like Rain are similar, but I'll occasionally find something worth a second howling of those street cats either with Jerry's guitar or Mickey doing something interesting. I also skip Around & Around almost every time as well. I'll also have to say Sugar Magnolia is very hit or miss for me, too. On the other hand, a song that used to lead into it frequently, Wharf Rat, is one of my all time favorites. Hunter/Garcia knocked that one out of the park. But I would bet there are people who love Black Peter and hate our sorry Wharf Rat...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I respect diverse opinions.

This is one of my favorite GD tunes. Yes, a "downer" song but powerful. The words are transcendent...the band moves it. As I get older (i'm 68), it means more to me now.

Looking forward to Dave's 46!
