    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.

    Ummmm....

    ....Phish fucks. This was my 50th Phish show since 1994, and immediately jumped to into my top five. Heater after heater. It was like they fired up the DeLorean and went back to 1998. Outstanding flow, intense face melting jams and the lighting rig just gets better and better. Mike blew his bass up during First Tube and had to call for backup. I almost feel sorry for tomorrow's show having to follow this.
    SET 2: Chalk Dust Torture (23 min!) > Twist > 2001 > Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley > Back on the Train, A Life Beyond The Dream, First Tube

    ENCORE: Run Like an Antelope!!

    This show is what fans call "special". All but two songs were type 1.0, or pre-2000.

    The Hollywood Bowl is special too. It almost got destroyed.

    I highly recommend everyone here listens to the Chalkdust > Twist if nothing else. Outstanding stuff.
    I can't sleep.

    Helluva Phirst Set tonight for VGuy

    Just looked at the setlist so far, and wow. Phish phans are very happy in Hollywood right now. They played a second set for a first set. Here's a fun game, I'll try to transpose the setlist into a Dead setlist:
    Ghost> David Bowie, Esther> Harry Hood> Meat> Split Open & Melt, Leaves> Squirming Coil
    Would become
    Playing in the Band> Help> Slipknot!> Franklin's, Crazy Fingers> Eyes of the World ('74 style)> Hey Pocky Way (except an original)> Let It Grow, late era ballad> Brokedown Palace with a piano solo to close the set

    That's an approximation of what he saw tonight. Meat was a hard one to choose, as it's a funky song that is kind of obscure, but also not obscure to Phish phans, if that makes sense. Not frequently played, but always welcome, which I imagine was similar to the Meters classic.

    Scored a copy of Captain Beefheart's I'm Gonna Play What I Wanna Play in the RSD vinyl edition, which was the only thing I was really interested in this year. No muss, no fuss, in and outta there in like 10 minutes. The secret, for me, is going to this punk rock record store in the shitty part of town where nobody is going camp out overnight or even line up an hour early, and none of the clientele is much interested in the Dead, the ABB, jazz, Captain Beefheart or any of the other stuff I'm usually looking for. I can show up at noon and have my pick.

    The also had a copy of the GD Boston '77 show which I was tempted to grab, but I decided to stick with my rule about "no double dipping," since I have that show in the Get Shown the Light box. There were also some jazz titles I was very tempted by: Eric Dolphy, Bill Evans, a Chet Baker I cam thisclose to grabbing, but I passed. Vinyl is so freaking expensive these days.

    You were afraid you'd be the devil's red wife
    But it's all right, God dug your dance
    And would have you young and in his harem
    Dress you the way he wants cause he never had a doll
    'Cause everybody made him a boy
    And God didn't think to ask his preference
    You can bring your dress and your favorite dog
    And your husband's cane, and your old spotted hog
    'Cause in this lifetime you got my human gets me blue

    Got my RSD

    After seeing availability stretch longer and longer with these, decided to take it easy and just head out when I felt like it. Luckily, I'm in Boston, so several options. Chose a shop in Natick this time, and ended up getting the last copy they had, though they told me they could order more if there was a demand. They has it priced reasonably at $125. Newbury charged $155 last year, so was definitely using them as a last resort, and didn't need them. The cover and back seem even better than other two triumvirate shows of ear,y May. But then my Cornell is the second pressing, which was made more muted. Wonder why the Jerry Band and Jerry Garcia vinyl boxes are even less expensive? The JGB Hampton set was there and was 90 bucks, also 5 LPs. Also curious at the production run on this being 11,000, but I saw one marketing blurb that started out saying 9,000 then finished the blurb by saying "limited to 12,000". Just found it interesting, wonder if they were debating what number to go with and had copy written for different ideas? Will have to wait for another time to listen to it. But nice to have the set now, plus Dave's 1. Now hoping this Fall's RSD release is 3/2/69 to complete THAT set.

    My wife gifted me with Dead and Company tickets for Citi Field in June. I've never seen them mainly due to tickets being crazy cash anymore! So, I've been getting excited as of late, mainly to seeing Mickey and Billy together on drums only to just discover Billy won't be doing the tour. The message said his health was ok, but something about creative difference maybe??? Oh well, I'll make the best of it

    Yes indeed, Thank goodness for the Grateful Dead!! Had a lot of windshield time lately, was a pleasure, mostly, to dial in channel 23 GD jukebox and let the tunes fall where they may, listen to Big Steve a bit. As a college radio station DJ back in the early 70s, album cover art was a thing, some promos were blank, album covers were big enough to allow artistic endeavor, there was testing of "limits", Tipper Gore stuff, Sticky Fingers, Over-nite Sensation etc. The cover of Blind Faith never bothered, it's art, provocative maybe, perhaps surrealism. Now the lyrics to Mexicali Blues, Bob has surely been taken to task by a few for that. So my question is, is Jack Straw a cowboy song?

If you haven’t already contacted the Mounties to file a missing persons report on Matthews, Marner and Tavares, please do so.

Jack/Oro/Mr Ones - I feel a little like Max Smart now, with the old “Listen, about that Leaf Stanley Cup win…”. Florida beat them every which way, and some. Jack is right - the big guns disappeared. Leaf lament: Maybe next year.
VGuy - Looking really good for the VGK to make it to the final. They are doing a great job containing Edmonton’s dynamic duo.
The upside of having your team lose out is now just being able to enjoy watching the games for the joy of watching the sport. No favourites, no skin in the game.

Very talented. Have the looks. And the stage presence. The trifecta.
Opened for Foo Fighters and Stone Temple Pilots and will be opening for Muse later this year.
They dropped a new video yesterday. More. The video is well produced and the song kicks ass imo. I love how it slowly creeps from a 4:3 ratio to 16:9. Check em out and let me know what you think.

I realized listening to this awesome release last night ( that Playin' goes all over) that this show was 15 days after my life-changing shows at Berkeley Community Theater, when I got on the bus after Dark Star>Morning Dew on August 24. That's pretty cool.

Indeed, a blast from the past VGUY. I somehow stumbled across a thing saying that Sputnik had put out a 4-disc set/remaster of Flaunt It, mostly remixes and b-sides but also a final CD containing a short live performance from Abbey Road. I had to check it out. Nothing really new there, and it's aged about as well as one would expect, but they had some clever hooks, I'll certainly give them that

Happy Sunday everyone. Got Garcia and Kahn 10/16/85 Santa Cruz playing rn

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.

....but whether it's Dallas or Seattle, Vegas has the upper hand.
I've been wrong before, but I'm just armchair forwarding here.
No ticks in the SW. Hot here.
Miss Half Step is a tough song to categorize.
So I'm not even going to try.
'It was coming out of your Grateful Dead'. Been there!
Except it's 'that's the Grateful Dead talkin' for ya'.
I have a step granddaughter that says that to me, then rolls her eyes, then gives me a hug and smiles.
It could be worse.

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.

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.

Jack - Embarrassed doesn’t cover it. As the Elephant Man Leaf Fan said, “Look away, I’m hideous”. Liking the Canes in the east, and VGK in the west, but mega respect for the Kraken for playing out of their minds.

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.

It was kind of boring. A couple of very odd goals for Dallas.

Vguy - as a Sabres fan, I can’t in good conscience ever back Dallas. So, I’m on your side again. Not a good omen for you.

Gotta go with the Panthers simply because they took out Boston. Very unexpected final four. It feels weird.

I’d normally be rootin for the ultimate underdogs (FLA) but I can’t behind them for several reasons.
Canes meh, and, no offense, like Angry Jack it’s against the law back in Bu faf to ever root for any Dallas team lol.
All that plus I think the Knights are the team to beat currently.
So yeah, sorry Vince, with AJS and myself backing the Knights, hopefully we won’t spread the curse!

Man these fall 72 jams are sweet. Recently got reacquainted with Dicks 23 and 36, yoosah…

The Dallas Stars' owner long-ago screwed over the State of Hockey, aka, Minnesnow-ta, and took our beloved North Stars way down south, so there's no way I can root for them. And if your ponds don't freeze in the winter, then it's difficult for me to root for your hockey team . . . :)

By the time I got the email from RGM it said sold out and the notify me when available tab was under that. Oddly, I had looked on their site less than an hour ago when I saw LMG's post and went through a huge number of GD items, mostly DiPs and Road Trips CDs and never saw the DiP 1 vinyl offering, but I did see the DaP 1 vinyl there. Must have missed it. Dang, that is a great release and this new version even has Phil's missing bass solo. Five minutes late with a dollar in my hand. Dennis, you lucky dog!

Edit: 3000 in an hour or two? Read what you will into that sales figure, era, vinyl vs. CD? Your guess is as good as mine.

funny story-I gifted a DaP46 to a good friend who helped us stay in Ventura for the Skull & Roses Festival this April. He was surprised, did not know of this release. He's not tracking dead.net like we do. He's looking forward to listening to it. In his words, "This show turned me into a deadhead". Sweet.

As with 1stshow, got the email too late for any good to come of it. Not following the 1000 online. I was able to get DiPs 26, 36, 19, and 26 all relatively easily. 19 and 26 had larger runs, and didn't sell out that quickly, more like days, and I think those were limited in first batch online and also like 20 bucks less, too. Bummer, was hoping for this one on vinyl, hope they get me with the email...
