    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.

    I thought it was "friscillating" all these years, and was hoping somebody would pick up the reference. An interwebs search discovered not only had I spelt it wrpng in my head all these years, somebody made a song based on the reference, which is the only reason I've even heard of such an archaic word was Owen Wilson's character's absurd concluding paragraph in the reading of his second novel Old Custer ("Now, everybody knows Custer died at Little Big Horn; what this book presupposes is... maybe he didn't?") in The Royal Tenenbaums: The crickets and the rust-beetles scuttled among the nettles of the sagethicket. "Vamanos, amigos", he whispered as he slung the busted leather flintscraw across the loose weave of the saddlecock. And they rode on in the friscalating dusklight.

    VGuy - A gutsy effort by your GK to shutdown the Dynamic Duo. Nicely done! I may play some (Name Redacted) in honour of the Glittering Knights today.

    To Vegas and Vguy. Only saw the first period but the skating was fast and furious. Unlike some other games I've watched in the playoffs those two teams spent a lot of time between the blue lines stealing it away from each other. These guys are fast and not afraid to let the defensemen do the defending. They take risks which is more fun to watch.

    Finally finished 46 and bonus

    Had gotten almost all of the show itself by the time the wife and I headed for Vermont, right in the same vicinity as dmcvt was describing ticks abounding... Anyhoo, just lovely scenery all around us, and while driving in Rutland noted mountains in the distance in all directions, and it being such a wondrous thing. And I had yet to get into the Dead that was on my USB, went through mix cds I made that snuck in Yonder Mountain doing Reuben and Cherise for NYE one year and it was included on a Jerry Jams cd for Rex Foundation about 10 years back and Cumberland from Workingman's, as well as Levon Helm's take on Tennessee Jed, otherwise Dead free. Then the wife began to drift in and out of napping, so I put on 46 at a low volume, so now I couldn't hear Phil, but could hear Jerry, some Bob, and a lot of Billy. This gave me a new perspective on the playing, and Jerry was really hot. Bird Song is incredible (a previous listen suggested the same at much better volume, and at which one could hear how locked in Phil and Billy were for this rendition, just amazing, given the nature of the song and their playing styles), with Jerry just ripping it. The Kreutzmann drum roll across his kit in Bird Song is panned beautifully thanks to Owsley's mic placement, and a really well executed version that takes it time even as the band comes back in early. I wasn't as impressed by the Playing. Veneta outshines it, sure, but so do other ones from this monthly period. China Rider was excellent, Phil and Jerry really on it, Bob and Billy, too. Not commenting much on Keith, because another release where you hear him sometimes, but nothing that really stands out. Likely the mix. Wonder why Bear never challenged himself to finally solve the problem of mic'ing Keith, or just buying a damned electric piano? But I digress, love the bluegrassy Friend of the Devil, even if they were shaky on it. The He's Gone is a nice pre-cursor to where it would be in two months, and beyond where it was as a first set song just two weeks before in Berkeley on DaP 24 8/25/72. Truckin' is a blast, Jerry and Bob are tearing it up when they begin an Other One jam, but first Drums, then the beast is unleashed. I've got 4 full listens now of the released version (3 back when first announced on Archive version that seemed most complete), and the one with the wife at low volume featured us driving past a dead turkey in the road, and she remarked "what was that dead animal?" I told her it was a turkey, she said, "No, it was the sound coming out of your Grateful Dead". "Oh." But then we got a nice bit with Brokedown Palace from the Bonus as we drove past a river in the friscalating dusk light.

    Hopefully, you like that Other One, Proudfoot, I think it's one of my favorite versions ever. I'd also be so bold as to say Dave screwed up in 2001 when he chose 9/17/72 Baltimore for DiP 23 over this show. I actually pulled that out to listen to it when this was announced and I checked it out on Archive, and I wasn't so impressed by it. But this one, this one is in my top 10 Dave's Picks, probably top 5. Wish the Bonus had the Other One from Jersey City for another jam, but loved the Half Step, never heard Jerry sing one with that much enthusiasm. The vocal mix on the bonus material is way too loud, especially the harmonies. Hence another wish that Other One had made it. But overall very pleased.

Tracking tells me that #46 has been delivered to my house. Unfortunately, I’m 200 miles away in Scotland having seen a Stejneger’s Scoter. We should get home tomorrow so I look forward to confirming the delivery. It is very unusual that delivery via Royal Mail is ever shown on the UPS tracker.

Two high priced goalies fizzle out - a kid from Missouri comes in for his first playoff start, and rocks it! I kept telling my buddy this kid is the real deal.
(Would you believe I have an MRI Friday night at 9:30??!! I’ll have the technician give me game updates while I’m in there)

....good win.
Now. Let's do this hockey 🏒
I've been in an MRI tube before. Wasn't a big deal, but I could see how it would be if someone suffers from claustrophobia.
I have three phobias. Snakes. Spiders. And heights. Yet I want to skydive. Go figure. It's on my bucket list.

I’ve had probably 25 MRIs, and it’s like getting fitted for a coffin, a very LOUD coffin! Freaks some people out.
Good luck tonight against McGolden & Draisaitl!

DP46 has arrived in Scotland via Royal Mail and with no custom charges. Bonus CD playing as I type. Will save the main course for tomorrow. Spoiled for choice now as I'm still enjoying my RSD vinyl despite having the CD. Roll on the box set arriving early July.

Well, took a multi-day road trip to the backcountry of NE Utah/NW Colo and had a little time at the wheel. Plugged in DP 46, with bonus disc, which includes 5 tracks from my first show (9-19-72) and I'm just here to say I dug it big time. One exquisite PitB on the main show and smokin' bonus. Very happy.

Got back and see that MUatM will feature a Soldier Field show I attended in '91. I think I had the very last seat at the back of the 'house' that night and while the music was good, the players were the proverbial ants in the distance, so this little nugget should pay off handsomely.

Then in less than two months, the '73 box with the 6-9-73 show I attended. So, hitting many touch points this spring.

I'm happy with the GD archival output, though it probably only matters to me.

That is all. As you were.............

Hey Firstshow,

Received mine as well yesterday. Have it going now. Fantastic!

Interesting liner notes with Dave mentioning Pigpen and his performance on 8/6/71. This was also featured on the bonus disc from RT1.3. I know what I will be listening to next.

Oh and I bought my tickets for this year's MUATM. Can't wait. Wrigley 91.

Got it…griped it…ripped it…diggin it!

YOUR BORTH CORRECT: the vocals are definitely stereo, but hard pained left…
If you get close to the speaker that appears vocaless, you’ll hear them, though definitely diminished comparatively.
This is intentional by the recording artist. You can find more about these techniques and much more in the Bears own words, down the rabbit hole…(and only Bear can really explain his methodology properly).
Besides the vocal sound field, which I did find a bit left centric (but don’t think I would of considered it much if not mentioned before?) Otherwise, the sound and restoration are wonderful as per usual.
Thanks to all!

Wouldn’t you love to be the roommate of the dude that got together with the gal that can scream louder than the dead, when they come home late to get down lol.
Wow, you can hear it clearly on Sugaree and Black Throated.
In between and on others also. Once you memorize her “sounds” you’ll hear throughout lol.
Quite the party! Yee haw!

Another tight 72 with sweet PITB, the Truckin especially caught my ear, liked how they tried to end it, course didn’t, but they tried! And of course the main course…TOO. Beauty eh, like the Leafs last night!
Now I’m not the up on fall 72 Other One’s guy, but I think I’ll need to spend some time there. Been so long I’ve heard DP 23 that’ll have to be asap…hey, if not Dark Star perhaps the next best thing…
Didn’t get to the bonus, YET! ; )
Good Sheet Mon!

Hey Gary, sorry Bra, may the four winds blow etc.
Peace be with her!!! and Pops well soon!

Ok, almost special K time. No not that ya degenerates, mighty squid time! Go Pie Go🦑

Because calamari is my favorite appetizer. Seriously.
Every time the wife and I check out a new restaurant, if they have it on the menu, we order it. We judge them on it.
When we were dating back in 1997, she had never tried it. I convinced her to give them a shot.
"Eww. No". was her response. Then.
I remember her eyes lighting up after the first bite.
The breading is key my friends.
She enjoys the rings. I prefer the tentacles. So it's a win/win.
Later on, she tried to turn me onto liver and onions. "Eww, no".
It's still "Eww, no", but she loves it.
Eww.
Twice baked filled potato skins are high on the list as well.
Gimme your favorite appetizers. I'm hungry.
Soups and salads don't count, because that's a different course.
Edit. I see you five branch.

Sidebar - Of all shows mentioned and sports talked about, I'll throw this out.

Anyone else watch Full Custom Garage with Ian Roussel? This man is incredible to watch. Imagine watching Leonardo painting the Mono Lisa. Gets all done and decides the smile ain't right, so he just paints over it. Ian does this with metal. With almost no tools and not a lot of measuring, he'll just draw a line with a sharpie and start cutting.
An artist to his core. If you like car stuff, check him out.

Just saw the one where he makes a "Galloping Goose" train track riding truck out of junk from the railroad bone yard. Lots of great fabricators out there but Ian has style and imagination. I like what he has done with concept cars too. Now he doesn't want to restore cars anymore, he wants to make art that rolls. Genius stuff.

I like a nice shrimp cocktail. Traditional. The red sauce is the only thing I can stand horseradish in. My sister in NZ likes fried squid rings.

Got my new Dave’s 46 and 2023 Bonus CD yesterday. Just finished color-corrected scans of John Vogl’s artwork that’s graces the CD packaging. I've squared the scans as is my obsession. Chromedomebodhi may have even higher res versions shortly, but these should hold you for now. Pass ‘em around, and let the music play!

All of the Dave’s series and annual Bonus CD cover art is at:
dropbox dot com/sh/qx5j9ydoc7bzm8z/AAD8yK_vCv_kQ-oLkLJQVCEla?dl=0

(they're in order, so scroll down for #46)

Onward

Always the helpful fellow!

Pie, as in Octo pie yuck yuck.

Bacon: haven’t had red meat since 1984, but I do like me some Morningstar fake bacon!

APPS: always dug a good hearty healthy crusty Bread, or especially beer bread with spinach and artichoke dip.
The Oasis in Boulder had a fav BITD, great pale ale too, but that place is long gone.
Glenwood Brewpub used to have a delicious cheddar cheese beer soup that came in an artisan bread bowl that was a fav. ISTSHOW, ever been, 15-20 years ago used to be a decent restaurant with great beer, but like most, got worse with new ownership. Usual mo: portions get smaller, favorite recipes either go away, or get wrecked, prices go up…progress…whatever….nothing last as the pranksters say!

46: playing the hell outta it ala the bad old daze when we didn’t have so much to choose from so would play whatever was new to death lol. Still haven’t made it to bonus…all good things, in….
Did I mention…
Good Sheet Mon!

K men are starting to scare me.
Just a thought and certainly no offense to Vince or any other supporters of the following teams, but theoretically we’re looking at conference finals made up of not only no teams from Canadaland, but no teams from north of the mason dixion line? Florida, Carolina, Dallas, with Vegas being the northern most location….doesn’t seem right in some way???
Again, no offense ment, just seems weird having all teams from the more tropical regions lol.

seems like its taking a while for everyone to get their 46, listened through just once, about to get down with round two this weekend. Now, for apps and horseradish, though I do not have them often, a little bit of horseradish in your bloody mary mix is a nice way to spike it. Raifort sauce is a classic for horseradish, whether the base be bechamel, mayo or just fold it into whipped cream as topping for roast beast. Simple apps like caprese, (fresh mozz with cherry tomatoes and basil leaf), smoked salmon with chive cream cheese, smoked trout or mussels, honeydew melon wrapped with prosciutto. Little pastries like samoosas, empanaditas, stuffed filo pillows, or fritters like pakora, why not mini crab cakes, tapenade, clams casino. Then stuff like oysters on the half shell, escargot in garlic butter, charcuterie, not for everybody.

In honor of Canadaland's second consecutive night of sweeps later today, I will nominate Duck Confit Poutine. You can only take about two bites before your arteries seize up, but it's worth it.

South of the border has to be chicken wings. Hot and extra crispy. Although some will argue that it could be considered a main course if supplemented by enough beer.

My personal favorite, simply because it is shared with a group, is a charcuterie board. Love the combination of figs and a good blue cheese as well as some kornishons to balance out a nice slice of prosciutto. You can all stop laughing now.

Pretty sure I was there once, but was already wasted upon arrival and no hungry memories. We too like the Morningstar bacon. The only brand to nail it. Just had BLTs with it two nights ago. Of all the attempts at vegan meats that bacon is the closest to the real carne flavor. Nobody seems to have mastered vegan chicken yet. Beyond Meat burgers are the second best attempt and are great on the barbie, as are their brats. Dang, I'm getting hungry!
Cheers

Still muddling through my Kezar tapes this AM but hope to get to DaP 46 later today, or if I'm allowed it will accompany some playoffs tonight.

And that Yes 21 LP box set at Rhino looks interesting. Seven shows from 1972. Also new Joni, Pretenders (Chrissie still hot), and Otis Redding. Stop making me buy stuff Rhino.

Finally got to the third disc of DaP 46 last night. Had a long drive, got myself into the appropriate mind set, and hit play, and that 35 minute TTO definitely hit the spot. Amazing to me, given how many versions I've listened to, that I'm still hearing new things in this jam. This one definitely goes to some interesting places. Kind of weird that the disc ends with El Paso, when the show actually ends with Casey Jones and Saturday, which of course are on disc 2 here. But if that's what it took to get this show onto three discs, I'm not going to complain.

Audio is excellent. Vocals do sound a little raw at times, as if the guys felt like they needed to shout to be heard in the monitors maybe, but the fi is indeed hi overall.

Dave's on a roll. Very stoked about everything since 39 and can't wait for the '73 box.

Mono Lisa? That'd be a good band name. Especially if you're kind of garage punk, with a female singer.

Geez Dennis, I’ve got Nat King Cole’s “Mona Lisa” roiling around my head! My father loved NKC, and actually bought a 5 record box set of his music circa late 60s (?), that he wore the grooves down on. Probably the only box set he ever owned!

VGuy - I’m really enjoying (Name Redacted), and just got a really clean copy of Hampton Comes Alive for a great price, so that’s bound to get some play this weekend. Great music. Good luck against the Oilers dynamic duo tonight. My PVR is set to tape my Leafs, and I’ll avoid the radio driving home, watch it all in the wee hours when I get back.

Water Cooler Fact - Some scholars believe Mona Lisa may have been, in fact, modelled on Leo Da V himself. Not sure if Leo liked to step out as a “lady”, or if he just felt he made a good model for the painting.

Jack/Oro/Mr Ones - The rides far from over boys. Hang tight!

I’ve played #46 once today, checking the discs are OK. Sounds good but I’ll give it a proper listen when I’m less tired. Just think we might never have had the 35 min TOO if only the band had listened to the man writing the second review on the cd and stuck to boogieing :))

Ok episode 005 July 1988 of Dead Head TV is uploaded to:

Dreams We Dreamed dot com

Features reports and reviews of the band's Greek Theater and Laguna Seca runs of 1988.

Please note there is no charge for streaming these videos, I'm making them available for those who are interested, free of charge. They were originally created by deadheads for deadheads so if you couldn't get to the show, you could get a feel for the scene and show highlights. Now they probably are time capsules from decades ago. And hopefully a little entertaining.

I love raw oysters, a good caesar salad, crab cakes, shrimp cocktails, seared ahi, off the top of my head.

Boxes boxes boxes. If I had to choose three, tough call. At this moment I would run with the July 78 box, the Europe box, and this upcoming 73 box. Maybe I can hold under my arm the Winterland boxes, too. Don't have the FW69 box, it would be a contender.

I had smoked oysters at a small little restaurant in Monterey. Unbelievably good. I’ve never seen them on a menu anywhere else. So yeah, those are up there.

I realize this may sound odd, but the Mona Lisa is one of the most amazing and overrated pieces of art I’ve ever seen.

BOC was my first concert.

Zilla, Zilla, Zilla . . .

That still doesn’t mean I am taking the GKs tonight, but good luck.

49 years ago today I was at the first wall of sound concert outside the bay area, at the University of Reno. Extremely windy day. The band had a hard time getting going, felt to me partially because the crowd was unresponsive. The band was probably worried about a speaker falling on them too. Truckin>Nobody's Fault>TOO was good, though.

Spectacular at good sushi restaurants.
I wouldn’t eat raw scallops from the grocery store.

Love sushi, generally don’t eat raw oysters.
Except one time I was in New Orleans in February and, according to the workers at Bourbon House (on Bourbon St a block or two from Canal), local oysters are best in February because of the cold water flowing out of the Mississippi River. Those oysters were really good. That place also has awesome crab cake. No breading, just lumps of crab pressed into a circular shape.

For bacon fans, if you haven’t had this before, wrap a water chestnut with a strip of bacon, push a tooth pick through it to hold it, and bake them in the oven. Consult the internets for full details.

DeadVikes,
I was in a beer store today and they had 19.2 oz single cans of Oberon. Never seen those before.

WINGS, not just for breakfast anymore. Mammosers, BEST EVER, ANYWHERE, ANY PLACE!!! I’ll bet ya!
Anchor bar, meh, come in a lake of grease, real wings shouldn’t be greasy! Duffs, ok, but too greasy, Mammy’s is da shit!
Used to do deep fried shrooms and dip em in there chicken wing sauce, ffs I’m salivating like the neighbors dog! Woof!
We get the sauce shipped out since I went to school and partied in HS with the owner.

ISTSHOW, Boca Burgers are great, the all American flame grilled! Of course shitty market is going to discontinue : (
Yer right about fake chicken. Luckily still do dirty bird, only meat we do. Would/should do fish, but for whatever reason, don’t like stuff outta the water? I know, weirdos…
New summer fav: chicken breast on the grill with Mammy’s sauce, lettuce and blue cheese on a proper roll…with ice cold brew of course! Man you guys are making me hungry lol.

Yeah Crow that TOO is kinda different, definetly will need more “proper” research.

SPHERE: yeah check that beast out! I checked out some of the tech specs last year…SICK!

Hey Mikey! Good luck tonight, and I mean you, not the name we shall not mention so as not to induce any weird juju or jinxes, shhhhhhhhhhhh🤫

Colin, thanks for reminding about the review. Yeah too funny. A little yin yang lol

NITECAT: sweet, look forward to some summer binging! Thanks Bra!

CONEKID: heeeeyyyy, isn’t that Garcias Water chestnut app recipe? (see NYE 87 video at intermission, hilarious)

Okey dokey sports fans, it’s fri yea!
Be good and have a great WE!
Time for some beerskis!

....and not to upset the vegans here, made me want to make some bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers for game time.
Home and taking the 46 bonus for a walk. Pre-game tuneage.
C'mon Toronto. You can do it!

Hola Oro, thanks, yes survived winter, it was mild until March, then we got slammed with lots of snow for a month. They are still skiing up at Killington, it was 80 degrees up there today, shorts and tshirts. Meanwhile, down here in the valley, the ticks are wicked bad because of the mild winter temps. Cold water oysters, yee hah, love em. We get a great selection at a local co-op mostly from Maine and Mass. A Nepalese restaurant not far away in Hanover, the momos are great there. Foodie, in another lifetime... chef, did the tour de France back in the early 80s. Spent a week in a class learning how to do whole pig, snout to tail, everything possible edible. We asked the teaching chef, what makes French cuisine taste so good, they said: la nourriture, literally what the food we eat ate. Michael Pollan wrote on this, PolyFace Farm, before How to Change Your Mind. Just discovering the first defective CD ever from dead.net, disc one of Dave's 46 skips on the second song, Sugaree. No visible flaws, have sent a note to Marye, not sure how this gets handled.
