    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.

    The email announcement for DaP 45 came on January 17.
    So, any day now for 46.
    Then the shipping waiting.

    Going forward, and this is meant for you Rhino/WMG, shipping should start for subscribers the day the ala carte’s go on sale.
    It wont take extra effort, and it shows the subscribers that you care.

    Yes, 1st show, Bert Jansch was in Pentangle. They were lucky to have two superb guitarists in Bert and John Renbourn. I thoroughly recommend any album they are on individually or together. The album ‘Maid in Bedlam’ by The John Renbourn Group is a particular favourite.

    I notice in the June issue of Mojo magazine that there is going to be a film, ‘Lost Angel’ about Judee Sill. I will certainly be looking out for that.

The Band did a great version of it on Jericho. Rick and Lee do a nice job sharing lyrics, and “nobody can sing”, them southern blues like Lee! Guy just oozes the south.
Dug it so much, Fast Eddie and I did it along with She Belongs, and Masters of War at a Dylan impersonators contest at Nietzsche’s in Bu fa fa lo mid nineties? Somewhere in the WKBW archives is a video clip of us lol.
Not so much impersonations, as cool and fun reinterpretations, though both types had some good and hilarious out there versions, like the guy who dropped his pants when he started playing wearing polka dot boxers!
We actually won for best interpretation, thanks Jerry (we basically just copied Jer lol)
Our prize…a bag of chocolate covered buzz beans, but hey, they were quite good lol.

Yeesh Mike, just curious, do you have to pay at all for those? Wondering how that works up there?
Man, what a night. I watched On the Fly etc for several hours last night. Like crack.
Congrats to the K nigits for topping the conference. Hopefully the mighty Kraken can upset the Stars, prolly not but I hate Dallas (sorry, no offense). Hopefully the AVs can get by the Wild as they seem to have our number? And no Landeskog, gulp, No Bueno!
In the east, besides the obvious ahem, Go FLA!

Some good series shaping up, hope I can keep up!

So playoffs start Monday, say Tuesday for DaP 46 on sale date? Big week!

Hey Oro - It varies across the country, but in Ontario, where I am, most things are covered, or I would never have been able to afford it. One of the trade offs is higher taxes.
Too bad about Landeskog - knee problems did many a great athlete in for good, including Bobby Orr. Let’s hope he makes it back, because he is a beast.
I chuckled at the mention of WKBW - Irv Weinstein & Eyewitness News! You made Eyewitness News? Awesome!! ;)

Levon - What a voice. Actually, a band with three remarkable and distinct voices, but his was a cut above. They never should have pulled the plug after The Last Waltz. Taken a break, cleaned up some bad habits, but never should have quit.

That was a big part of the feud, though not all lol. They wanted to keep going but Robbie did not…
They did keep going without Robbie and with varying degrees of success. I saw and enjoyed them several times in the eighties starting around 82?,including opening for about a half dozen Dead shows, and saw dozens of shows I worked in the nineties during their later comeback, including the last 2 Dead shows. You must of went to the 84 and 87 wonderland shows?
Worked several at Lulu’s Roadhouse.

I’d rather pay higher taxes but not lose my home and savings etc. Just that screening alone here…scares me to even think about it.

Yep, Gabes a HUGE loss, though he’s been out all year so…hopefully he can return healthy.

Irv, there’s a blast from the past!
I never saw it but folks called us up after. It was at the end of the six o’clock news that night, and as they were finishing they played like 30 seconds of us. Supposedly it sounded good lol.

PS, speaking of my days with the band. Big four winds blow for ole AP from their road crew who passed recently.
Didn’t know him well but he worked hard and was always a good dude, like all the Band folks: Butch, Pauly, Rick, Lee, Garth, Jimmy, the 2 nineties Richards, all super nice folks! Was an honor and privilege to get to work around these good folks! Saaaalute!

I never saw them in the 80s, saw them in ‘74, and on their final tour in 1976, a month or two before the Waltz. Saw Levon solo. A friend made it down to one of his Rambles, she said it was unforgettable, and she was a seasoned concert goer.

Too bad no one had it on tape for you. Like one of Owsley’s infamous banana box tapes! Gets the Rhino-Plagent treatment! Ha!

....their logo for the shows even features a squid. Eight tentacles. Eight west coast shows. Nice.
Metallica dropped 72 Seasons today. My hopes are mid. Hopefully they will surprise me.
Howdy back!

I saw Keith Jarrett do a solo show at UCLA's Royce Hall mid 70's or so...he walked out, sat at his piano and proceeded to play non-stop (or so it seemed) for nearly two hours...when he was done he got up from the piano bench and walked off stage without acknowledging the audience's thunderous applause...crowd wouldn't stop clapping and yelling for an encore...after a bit he walked back out and stood mid stage close to edge...it quieted down and he said "You need to digest your meal before asking for dessert"... he then walked back offstage...what? Great show though...

It’s go time! Sabs and AVs end on a high note.

Good luck to Senior PF and the mighty Kraken. AVs are good but I don’t think their unbeatable?
Hopefully it will be a good series.
Yeah, anything called “smart” run away!

Yet another great that Nappy saw and has stories! Keep ‘em coming Hoss!
Think it would have been better just to leave and not come back out?

One scene that just kills me every time I watch the Last Waltz is that one where Rick Danko is playing pool and Scorcese asks him "what are you going to do now that the Band is breaking up?" And poor Rick doesn't answer, just looks at him like, "I have no idea whatsoever."

There was some bad blood surrounding the Band: Robbie got the songwriting credits and the money from that, so he was ready to stop touring and break the Band up. The other guys were ticked off that Robbie had got credit for songs that were collectively written, and f3elt like they kind of needed to keep the Band going, because they needed to make a living. Levon was supposedly bitter about that till the day he died.

AFAIC the Dead didn't need to cover the Band, because the Dead were better at writing that kind of "Americana" material. Cumberland Blues is better than anything the Band wrote in that vein, and we can add Dire Wolf, Black Peter ... hell, add all of Workingman's the list. Don't get me wrong, I love the Band. It's just that the Dead were better.

Generally speaking, I like it when the Dead cover obscure old jug band tunes and blues, but the classic rock covers seem kind of beneath them, to me. Jesus H Christ, guys, you're the Grateful Goddam Dead. You don't need to play Louie, Louie or Satisfaction or Werewolves of London. You've hundreds of your own tunes that you're going to sound better on.

Dylan covers are in their own category. Being that he's the Greatest Songwriter Ever, it is well and meet that the Dead, like damn near everyone with a lick of sense, should play some Dylan.

My bathroom break song was always Me and My Uncle. Unless it was Drumz. Uncle just got played so many effing times, and there's not a whole lot of variation from one version to another. You've heard one, you've heard all 1,782 versions, really. Drums? You hadda be there. Space I usually like. Tennessee? One of my very favorite tunes. (See remarks above about how the Dead wrote Americana better than anyone.) Surprised to see that one on so many people's bathroom lists. But when you gotta go you gotta go and who am I to say?

Not sure if you can feel it wherever you are, but today NorCal is abuzz over game one of the Warriors-Kings playoff series. I follow both teams, but for some reason I would just love love love to see the underdog Kings take out the reigning champs. Can't wait for tip off.

Meanwhile, I'm on a Sun Ra binge. Last five:

....yup. Mick Mars and Motley Crue are going through that right now. Mick announced he's retiring from touring due to constant back pain, but still a member. The rest of the least talented members by FAR dropped his earnings percentage from 25% (100% ÷ 4 is basic math) to 5%. Then 7 1/2% because I guess they felt guilty or some bullshit.

Sorry Mick. You don't deserve this crap. Fight the good fight.
Then again, I remember The Crues "final" tour was in 2015 or something lol.
The new Metallica record is decent, but don't let Trujillo sing again, because he can't.
Kirk Hammet reborn.

Against better judgement I half went with Flaming Lips box,,, only got the cd's, that was only 30 bucks, came with two shows, what the hell.

Picked up used Robert Hunter - Box of Rain,,, used,,, 7 bucks.

Then I saw Morning Jacket is releasing MMJ 3 in vinyl,,,, have the first two,,,,,,,sooooo.

FYI - I like the whole line of jokes that went by. Need to cut and paste them into a file.

Oh, enjoying the box set of Dionne Warwick right now, Promise.

I've heard many a whine about Miles and his back to audience. :-)

Dead songs not liked?

Mostly I've found every song was done great once. That was part of the experience, hoping to hear something new, because you knew the magic could happen anywhere, anytime. Mostly because, as stated earlier, they were " Grateful Goddam Dead. I swear, ok, could have been drugs, but there were many a times at shows where they were being lack luster, shall we say, when bam, the song comes back ROARING. Like they too thought, we're the goddamn Dead.

....I learned long ago, it's not how a song starts regarding playing live, but how it ends.
Applicable to jam bands for sure.
Prime example, and apologies if I keep bringing them up, but Phish opened the second set last night with A Wave Of Hope. Always meh to me, but eight minutes in they shifted gears, and I didn't know where I was anymore. And I was sober.
It's on the toob.

Fish heads are some tuned in folks.

I've read where they start song A, not finish it, weeks later finish it out of nowhere,,,, and the crowd knows!

That's a wild live album. I started dipping into Sun Ra when I saw them supporting the MC5 about 20 years ago. At the end of the concert both bands took the stage together for a mind pummeling jam - a joyful noise indeed !
Although Sun Ra himself has long since slipped this mortal coil, they are still amazing live - led by one Marshall Allen who is in his late 90's. I always tried to catch them when they came to London, and always came away a bit taller than when I went in. Many, many great albums - but I would single "Jazz In Silhouette", from the mid 50's as one that stands out. A more recent release - "Babylon Live", from 21/5/2014 is also worth checking out.

She didnt have kind things to say about the Phans

Lots of griping about "specialty balloons" and general ickiness.

Good luck to the GKs. Don’t be mad at me, but I wouldn’t mind seeing the Kraken take at least one game. Preferably at home.

I posted about a year ago regarding the therapeutic properties of psychedelic mushrooms. John’s Hopkins has been running research studies with addicts for a few years. Glad to see Nevada is on board.

I have seen fall into 2 major categories. Serious music fans with love and knowledge, who just want to share. I like these fans.
On the other side of the ledger, we have unimaginably selfish, self centered spoiled little arrogant brats, who only care about themselves. These are the folks who can talk (loudly) through an entire 2 3/4 hour show. Move into a space you arrived an hour early to secure, or simply stand and block your entire view of the stage. These folks seem to outnumber the kind folks. A bit like society I guess. This might be the first year of them touring since ‘96 that I don’t see at least one show, though I would still like to see one, if possible.
I am beyond ready for my next 4-disc serving of ‘72 Dead!! Please, please, please, bring it on!!

Music is the Best!!

Bonnie Dobson was living in Toronto in 1967 when Bill Graham brought the Dead & Jefferson Airplane to town for a series of shows. Dobson attended one of the shows, and was urged to go meet the band backstage, but for whatever reason did not.

....thats the name given to the rude people that attend concerts and proceed to just talk all the time. Hate them. If you want to bullshit back and forth with your buddies, go to the concourse or go to a baseball game instead.
When my Avs loving cousin and I saw My Morning Jacket last summer in Taos there were some right behind us. I'm not confrontational and if I was there solo, I would have just moved, but my cousin is not me and we had a group of five. He got right in their faces and chewed them the fuck out. They ended up moving. He's not all bad ha!
I fall into the former fan category. I shut my trap and try to hang with the cool attendees. I also have a wealth of knowledge, but I'm never asked lol.
Actually, I've shared my knowledge
of Phish lore with a couple of regulars here that shall remain nameless. If you want to raise your hand, go ahead.
Will be seeing them this weekend at the Hollywood Bowl. Shows #50 & #51 by my count since Dec '94.
First outdoor and out of state Phish shows since '09.
First time at the Bowl as well. Bucket list venue, although I hear the sound towards the back is shit. If anyone wants to confirm or deny, let me know. Have great seats for Saturday. Not so great for Sunday. Although the Skull & Roses Festival is a possibility. We'll see. Making up the rules as I go.
Also. I'm a great-grandfather again. My step- granddaughter had her son yesterday. A month early, but both doing grate!
Go Knights! Going to the first playoff game Tuesday. Playoff hockey is just something to behold. Chomp away at those events you glorious bastards.
There is a time and a place. Concerts are neither. Be kind.

....if you are in So Cal, and I think you are? Section U3 Sunday. I'm quiet.
I could be confusing you with gollum though. Where's that cat been?

We are a long way from sanctioning mushrooms in England for therapeutic purposes. It occurred to me recently that the shenanigans of the 60's may have set psychedelic research back decades.

Opiates are a different matter here, of course. They rain down like confetti at a wedding, for sufferers of all sorts of pain. A fair few of my friends are so gifted - people who have never used drugs for recreational purposes in their life. They do make me smile sometimes. One of them told me recently that she could understand why "these drug addicts" take drugs. Break a leg, Ethel.

Checked out the Bonnie Dobson/Robert Plant Morning Dew and it is excellent. Check it out on YouTube everyone. Thought Plant threw a little shade at our boys when he was introducing Bonnie and the song by saying "it was immortalized by Tim Rhodes and I guess Grateful Dead". As it happens sometimes once I listen to something on YouTube I always find something interesting to see in the suggestions. This time led me to a Dew with Clarence from Shoreline 6-21-89, really hot, which led me to a Fire with Carlos Santana from 1987, really good as well!!
My suggestion for today is JGB Let's Spend The Night Together from Philly 11-12-91. I was there and I will never forget it. Phenomenal !!

Watched the Morning Dew recording and it is recommended. The guitarist is Bernard Butler, from the band Suede and the bassist is Danny Thompson, who played with so many people, Richard Thompson, John Martyn for example and was a member of Pentangle. The performance was from a concert remembering Bert Jansch another great guitarist.

Not sure where else to put this, but this week's Taper Section shows the 7/30/1966 show as 7/29/1966 on my CD "50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition" of the 1st album. Any Dead scholars know which is the correct date? On a side note, so good to see Burning Spear decide to tour again.

Thanks so much for the generous offer!! Unfortunately, I am approximately 2,800 miles away, and I’m STILL tempted to look at air fares. I’ll likely drive to Philly and take my chances.

Robert Plant also did a version of Morning Dew on his first (to me anyway) REAL solo album. Dreamland from 2002 was a revelation to me, an actual indicator of what Plant’s true love of ‘60’s and other diverse (roots??) genres encompassed. In interviews, he has made clear how much he listens to and loves an extremely diverse world of musics. So just like Jerry, the questing and open musical mind is the one I generally take an interest in.
There’s just TOO MUCH out there to limit myself. Oh, and if you check out Dreamland (and you SHOULD), check the version of The Youngbloods’ Darkness, Darkness!! A great song, a great cover.
Now, I’m pretty sure the Maple Leafs have a game coming up??

Greetings denizens of dead.net-land! It's been a while. Life has been a fascinating series of changes lately (um, don't misread that, HF is still male...)

Am I correct in thinking that an announcement of the next Dave's -- fall '72, no less -- is imminent? I enjoyed #45 but fall '72 really is a sweet spot for me (and the band).

So... "looking forward" at month's end, if I'm not mistaken. Four discs' worth, oh yeah.

Just felt like popping in to say "hey" to all.

Thanks Colin for the mention of Bert. Recall seeing him do Black Waterside on a Clapton Crossroads Guitar Festival (maybe the 2010?) before he passed. His thick Scottish brogue made it hard to catch the lyrics. Phenomenal finger technique on the acoustic. Member of Pentangle if I remember correctly. Going looking for more.
Cheers

Hey PF, it was a pretty mellow scene. Hell, I was like the youngest guy there. There was some craziness (read tanks) at the fountain, but overall I give the crowd a solid B. Friday night was on fire, Saturday ok. My Friend, My Friend....

Jerry’s Middle Finger…Grateful Shred…Brown Eyed Women…and my favourite- Electric Waste Band with Bill Walton! The EWB Facebook site shows this incredibly ornate guitar design for the Festival, really a work of art.
Sounds like a great time to be had by all. Enjoy everyone going!

PS - Gentlemen, start your engines. NHL playoffs start tonight!

...so I can purchase the new James Booker five CD box of live performances from a tour he did behind the Iron Curtain in the mid 70's....

Last Five

Super Deluxe Abby Road (love all the outtakes)
Taj Mahal - Nach'l Blues
Ahmad Jamal - Emerald City Nights (RIP Señor...you were a bad ass)
The Animals - The MGM Years
The Rolling Stones - Live at Leeds '71 (a bonus live CD from the Stickyfingers box)

The email announcement for DaP 45 came on January 17.
So, any day now for 46.
Then the shipping waiting.

Going forward, and this is meant for you Rhino/WMG, shipping should start for subscribers the day the ala carte’s go on sale.
It wont take extra effort, and it shows the subscribers that you care.

The Band mostly bores me. I love Dylan and dig some of their collaborations, but once the Bard left the building a lot of the air went out of the sail, for me personally. I'm not here to share anyone else's thoughts. The Last Waltz film to me is the high of their career, first, because they were done, and second, because of all the amazing talent that shared that stage. Props to Marty for a brilliant film.

Robbie Robertson was the only cool rock dude in that band.

I hate the early 20th century drab, boring workingman's garb they generally posed out in. Yes, they went out of their way to get that "look," because no one else in rock dressed like that then. It was as calculated as Ziggy Starburst.

Last 5 (songs):

Symptoms of Love - Buddy Guy featuring Elvis Costello
Wish I Knew You - The Revivalists
Dirty City - Steve Winwood feat. Eric Clapton
Inamorata - Metallica
When the Hunter Gets Captured by the Game - Jerry Garcia

Hot stuff

Just be warned....there are some TALKERS very audible at times. It's especially annoying during a monumental Hard to Handle. Some chick keeps on "BLAAAAHBLLLAAAHH BBLLAAAHHH BLAAH!"

SHUT THE FUCK UP WENCHLET!!!

Why do some people think a loud rocknroll show is the right place to have a nice chat?

And even in the outro from TIFTOO...blah blah blah fucking blah.

And during Cosmic Charlie blah blah blah

This show needs a soundboard. Or a way to cut out the tongues of the blabbing audience members.
