    Golden era Grateful Dead in the most golden city in the Golden State? Yes, DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 46 features the complete unreleased show from the Hollywood Palladium, Los Angeles, 9/9/72. Loosen that tie, this ain't a red carpet rodeo - it's the after party that legends are made of. Consistently excellent from start to finish, this West Coast groove showcases tracks that would soon debut on EUROPE '72, solo material from both Jerry and Bob, a riveting iteration of "China>Rider," a couple of Chuck Berry doozies, a bonkers 35-plus "Other One" that hits all the psychedelic highs, and wraps up with a "Casey Jones"/"Sugar Magnolia"/"One More Saturday Night" finale that'll have you wondering why you wore a tie in the first place. Hooray for Hollywood, indeed.
     
    Limited to 25,000 numbered copies, this release was recorded by Owsley Stanley and has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering. Oh, and it ships next week so you'll wanna grab a copy while you can.

    OT

    Remember 2013 Cup finals 3 OT win Game 1 Blackhawks over Bruins. What a hard fought game. Hawks rallied from2 down in 3rd to send it to OT. I was working out of Gallup and pacing around the motel parking lot between periods. Game 6 had one of the greatest moments in Hawks history as they scored 2 goals in 17 seconds at Boston in last minute and change of 3rd to win game 3-2 and take "Lord Stanley back to the Windy City." I occasionally still listen to the last 2 minutes of the radio call synched with the tv feed on the usetoobs cause its one fun memory.

    No way I could make it to the end of that one. Glad the way it turned out. Too bad that Florida had to win twice.

    Brent Burns was spent and didn't cover Tkachuk. You could see his frustration immediately. Having to play two games in one night is going to impact this series. The younger legs will prevail.

    Good luck tonight Vguy.

    Bruce Cockburn on meeting Garcia and discussing Waiting for a Miracle:

    But he said “oh man, beautiful song, I hope I didn’t screw the lyrics up too much.” I said “actually I was going to wait until the second time I met you before I brought that up.”

    Cockburn On Vinyl

    VGuy - Yes, both of Cockburn’s recent releases are on vinyl. Check out Crowing Ignites on U Toob - it really is great instrumental acoustic guitar work.
    PS - The Cowboy Junkies have a new release coming June 2.
    Also, another band in the same vein as Bruce Cockburn and the Junkies I like are The Skydiggers. Not well known, but a great discography, and they put on a decent show. My personal favourite is Just Over This Mountain.

    No crowing of any roosters in Raleigh this morning. Four overtimes!!

    Length of cds

    I've noticed that some cds released by Bear Family are well over 80 minutes long. The sound quality doesn't seem to suffer in the slightest - in fact they sound great. Curious, though, that they seem to be the only label that I know of who produce cds extending past the 80 minute mark.

    I must say I am well impressed with Dave's 46. I'm not automatically turned on by Fall 1972 - the one in 30 Trips, 9/24/72 has never done much for me - but this one is great. I often find myself focussing on Bob's playing during this period, and this show is no exception. He is quite loud in the mix, and his sound, style, what he plays..really good. With the 3rd cd I tend to forget about who is doing what and just let the whole wash over me and take me where it will.
    All sorts of reasons why they aren't selling out - but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the quality of the shows on offer, going off this one.

    I wonder what impact the archive has on sales now? The relationship between these shows, and those released may have changed in recent years. Maybe some people feel the have bought enough, and are now quite happy to access shows online for free instead. I don't listen to them myself, but I notice they are reviewed and referenced on here quite often.

    Some more good live Stones

    Sheik - are you not so keen on those early 70's live Stones albums then? Two of them are hidden away in box sets - Leeds University 3/13/71 and Brussels 10/17/73 - Brussels Affair as it's commonly known. That 73 one is my favourite live Stones album of them all, but I think you can only here it now via The Goats Head Soup box set. Similarly the Leeds 71 show in the Sticky Fingers box. With that one there are also 4-5 songs from another show on the tour at The Roundhouse. Top stuff!
    There's also a dvd from 1972 - "Ladies and Gentlemen - The Rolling Stones" from America 1972. There's a cd of that, but I prefer the film-seeing them in all their pomp and glory.

    I still haven't heard that El Mocambo show - but it's on my to do list.

    "Bridges To Beunos Aries" is from 1998... so.... but the dvd/blu ray features one of the best versions of "Jumpin' Jack Flash" I have ever heard/seen in my life. It has to be seen really- the Argentinian fans going absolutely crazy. They are like that for the whole show - but that song nearly causes a riot! Watch a clip of it on youtube and feel 10 years younger. Make that 20.

    Excuse me if this has been talked about but...

    I really don't understand why this show was cut up like it was...Disc 2 has the end of the 1st Set...all the music fits on one disc with a slight over burn, if an over burn can't be done then start the 2nd disc with JBG...the 2nd disc has the 1st set ending and then the 1st part of the second set and then the third part of the 2nd set...the 3rd disc is the middle of the 2nd set....if you start the 2nd disc with China/Rider and go to drums, a slight faded drum outrro at the end of the 2nd disc with a faded intro of drums to the end of the show....Having fades in and out of drums doesn't bother me in the least

Presumably, they have decided to allow early pre-orders to try to get longer to sell out the set. Their previous decision to only start selling a la carte from the release date has apparently been abandoned. Good luck to those who need to order, I hope it goes smoothly.

As said on the 45 comments the seaside chat is available on utube even though it isn’t on the DeadNet site yet.

I somehow noticed the way Dave brought up DP #50 and then went on to say another comment, something to the effect of "some 50 coming up" Well, it's the 50th for 1973.....possible box set hint??? I sure hope!

I had a barking dog and talking child and missed what the tracks were on the 4th disc. Thanks to Dave's seaside chats I did know that was an oyster catcher when it chirped/squawked before he called it out.
Looking forward to some vinyl coming soon RSD, DaP, Bears, FTV1. Wish the big box would be announced soon!

Dave didn't say, but he reminds us there were tracks on DiP 36 from that Boulder show which is part of the bonus disc.
He's Gone, The Other One, and Wharf Rat were on DiP36 so guessing it's not those?
He did say "box" and "other things" (plural) so let the guesses begin.

Really looking forward to this one. Wish they listed the Bonus Disc tracks.

Maybe the 1973 50th Anniversary year will fiiiiiinally have 6/10/73. And 6/9. And Watkins Glen. Bird Songs....lots of Bird Songs. And then half a dozen shows with Dark Stars...

Anniversary of The Grateful Dead Beat Club 4/21/72, so pull out that trunk and tune into The Other One to get your socks blown off your feet.

Good review of this show in the Taping Compendium. Looks like there's a powerful "Truckin-Other One" jam, which suits me. This jam really stood out for me on recent listens of 4/7 and 11/4 72 at Wembley and Newcastle. It will be good to hear how it shapes up 5 months later.

Colin - I never saw Camel live. I would have been quite happy to tag along if I'd known or gone out with anyone who liked them, but I never felt sufficiently interested to seek them out myself. They must have played in Manchester countless times between about 1972 and 1980, but I never seemed to notice when they did.

It's been a holiday as far back as I can remember.

Which was yesterday.................

A good memory is one trained to forget the trivial............

Rock on,

Doc
A retentive memory may be a good thing, but the ability to forget is the true token of greatness......

So, our local store requires that you get a numbered bracelet the day before (today). I drive down a half an hour before opening and 50 people are already in line. Guess I'm ordering online again. Either that or I'll finally purchase a turntable so I can listen to what I own.

DaP46 - love the cover. I've always been on the wrong side of the bell curve when it comes to intelligence, so I don't mind asking this question. Am I supposed to know the woman? Also, any help with the symbols would be appreciated. Feel free to ask me a math or hockey question in exchange for your kindness.

The hockey universe returned to normal across the board last night. Save maybe the Devils. Mike, while I remain optimistic, I also recognize that the loss of Hedman (and Cernak to a lesser extent) severely hinders the Bolts. Nevertheless, keep the faith.

Vguy - congrats. Hope you enjoyed the game.

Jack - I wondered the same thing, if she was someone specific to the show/town/time, or she is some Michelle Phillips/California mock up? Great cover, though.

Oro - I think we need to take Doc’s words to heart - forgetfulness is ok, and sometimes in things like marriage, a survival skill.
PS - What’s with your AVs? I though they would crush the Kracken. I didn’t give Seattle enough props.

A lot of times the DaP covers have something to do with the set list, like we had train 102 on the cover of 44 because there was a rare 1977 performance of Casey Jones, or we had the ship on the cover of 42 because it was that had the debut (I think) or Ship of Fools. So here's my theory about the cover of 46: she's Stella Blue.

Very very stoked about this release. Sitting as it does smack dab in the middle between Veneta (possibly my all time fave show, if this such a thing) and the 9/21/72 show that formed one of the very best (IMHO and all that) Dicks Picks, a time when the Dead was indeed en fuego, you know it's going to be a doozy. And there's a 30 minute Other One? And bonus disc from the same time span? Yes, please.

My take is that it's the Spanish Lady handing us a rose to crater our minds, but the blue does invite the idea that she is Stella Blue. That is the heart of this show. That whole hour+ of E is fantastic, but just terrific take on TOO and my favorite 1972 Stella. Phil is all over this show, and he destroys these especially. Listened to the Listening Party last night, and was blown away by the Bird Song. Can't wait for the Playing! '72 Dead is just something else entirely, and it's so good.

Side note: while digging that Bird Song last night I pondered back to why didn't they play it in Europe? Would have become a staple with exploratory jams, and it may have even found itself in a second set jam. Alas.

She also appears to be pyramidical. Again, not sure why.

Edit: I enjoy the ambiguity of the design. I’d rather spend my time trying to ascertain a hidden meaning rather than wasting it only to realize that bearded skeletons are nothing more than bearded skeletons.

I like the Spanish angle, but the stars and crescents are throwing me off. They are Moorish. But, as we all know, it was the Moops who invaded Spain, not the Moors. So you may be correct.

I drove downtown an hour before opening to get a number for tomorrow, and I’m stuck with #72. I’ll still show up, just for the halibut.
I appreciate the reminder to open my trunk. It sits right in my music room, but seems to disappear into the background sometimes. I’ve always thought that the last 4 shows (overall) are pretty much superb, but there are too many other moments that deserved to be memorialized. Does anybody else remember the emails that kept updating us as to how many actual discs would be required?? I swear I remember at least 3 updates.
THATMIKE-it was fantastic watching the Maple Leafs last night!!Now they need to split in Fla.
Maybe you’re younger than me, but Scott Stevens played his first 8 seasons in Washington. Those are the years I cherish.

I forgot about Scott Stevens playing in Washington! I remember him in St Lou & NJ, but you are absolutely right (Remember Doc’s wise words on forgetting!) His hits on Paul Kariya and Eric Lindros are the stuff of legend. But I’m definitely an old time fan, I actually was following the Leafs & NHL as a kid in the 60s, even before the last Cup for the Leafs, a life long passion. Last night was beyond words. Cannot wait for the games in Florida, and a split there would be great. Now, if the Panthers could maybe upset the Bruins, and DaP 46 would hit mailboxes in the next few days…
Life is grand, and if I may quote you “Music is the best!”

....you sunovabitch. Nice one, and probably correct. Weens Chocolate And Cheese has one my favorite covers. As does The Black Crowes Amorica.
Hey. What can I say?
My White Stripes Elephant 20th anniversary double LP arrived today.
Seven Nation Army skips right from the start. The rest of the first LP is spinning fine. Time for LP two.
Noticed that the lyrics for I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself is missing on the sleeve....c'mon man!
Edit. Just realized it's a Burt Bacharach cover. My bad.
Edit again. Ball And Biscuit is also skipping. Ugh.
I'm dipping my toe back into the vinyl, but, no matter how cool the splatter LOOKS, and this one looks really cool, skips right out of the gate is frustrating as all get out.
I want to hear Jack Whites distortion, but not over and over again.

Incredible that it's 20 years since "Elephant" came out. I remember playing that on Fridays nights after the week at work and before I went out . I saw The White Stripes, once, playing some Yardbirds covers with Jeff Beck. It was his show, and various luminaries came on to play specific songs. John McLaughlin was another one who pitched up.

This new Dave's cover looks a bit androgynous to me.

It was just too easy

Waaay back there was a locally produced satirical comedy show in the Seattle area

One time the show opened with a text crawl and a voiceover;

"The following program contains content that might offend sensitive viewers

Like wusses, and wimps, and weenies"

Still makes me laugh today

On PBS Great Performances "Now Hear This" episode last night I saw an amazing percussionist that I'm sure is on Mickey's Hart's world beat radar as he has done a lot of videos. His steel drum skills are phenomenal, he is a composer, and he does very cool collaborations like one with a pianist playing a "prepared" piano with dimes wedged in between certain strings to have a percussive effect. And it sounds great. He plays just about anything from paint cans to vibraphone and even invents instruments out of anything, like a truck brake drum. He did a duet with the host Scott Yoo on violin and Andy on steel drum that was sweet. I can't say enough about this humble, very cool guy and his many skills and that show is worth looking into if you have the time. I'll be looking up those videos today for sure.
Cheers

I can remember in the early 1980's if they showed a film on television with sexually explicit content, they used to put a red triangle in the top corner of the screen to warn people. I suppose they thought some people might miss it otherwise .They often seemed to be on when we came back from the pub, and we used to sit there eating our supper, waiting for the good bits to come on.
