    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.

    ....I've read that the floor is flat and the stage is short, so if you are on the shorter side, it may be difficult to see the band.

    Rush - Ice Cream

    I became a rush fan in the summer of 1977 when a friend of mine came home from military/private school up at Swanee TN, which is right close to the Caverns I just discussed. Yeah military school, all boys, uniform or business attire during the day, pot and mushrooms at night, not mushrooms for him, but for those that wanted.

    So he encouraged me to buy 2112. Put on head phones and listened with a buzz. Changed my life in so many ways.

    Was fortunate to see them on the Hemispheres Tour January 1979, then Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures, Signals twice (1982 and 1983, Nashville and Miami (Hollywood Sportatorium)), Grace Under Pressure, Power Windows, Roll the Bones, and Test for Echoes (Charlotte NC). Hemispheres was in my home town, all other shows except 2 mentioned were in Nashville at the old Municipal Auditorium. A great sounding 9000 capacity arena.

    Also saw a couple of incredible Yes shows at Municipal. 1984 on the 90125 and 1988 on Big Generator. A couple of months back yall were discussing sound systems that could compete with GD. There was discussion of Pink Floyd, which is true, saw 2 stadium shows. But Yes always had top notch sound. In 84 and 88 we were dosed to the gills. The sound was densely thick, powerful and intense. In 1984, they had the best laser show I ever saw. They were using state of the art technology, called an imaging or 3d screen. It was hung from the ceiling about 80% to the back wall. As the lasers went thru the screen it all became like a 3d hologram. It was so intense. They did all sorts of patterns but at one point they were spelling out YES, and it was spinning above our heads in 3d. It was like the words YES were moving on a plane in a vertical 360 degree loop. At first, we freaked out, so high, as it looked like the YES was about to hit us in the head. The Big Generator, no 3d lasers, but was still I think musically, a better show.

    OK enough of that.

    I have seen several shows at the Caverns. It is about 50 miles from here. Family used to own mountain home retreat up that way. Beautiful country.

    It is about 4 stories underground holds around 1200, standing room only. Is 59 degrees year round, so it can be chilly.

    I have seen Govt. Mule there, and Blackberry Smoke, Dawes, STS 9, John Butler Trio, and Band of Horses. All very good shows, John Butler Trio was awesome.

    Almost went to Flaming Lips, but couldn't work out the schedule...

    Kinda Weird Thankin

    Snoop Dogg is bringing his big troupe to town this fall. Tickets go on sale tomorrow, of course. Kind of like seeing Kid Rock, if I were to go it is totally for the party, the spectacle of it all. Crowd will be mostly honkies, like me. Although deep down south, our town fully integrated in 1955, so relations here are excellent. Dont believe stuff you hear on "news outlets." Not a huge fan of Snoop, but I do enjoy some of his funky grooves he lays down. If I buy a ticket, it will be the first moe ny I have sent to the Dogg. Well, except my cable bill.

    Anniversary show 6/8/75. El Camino Park

    48 years ago today, I was up at El Camino Park in Palo Alto to see a super cool show with Jerry Garcia, Merle Saunders & Kingfish. Small little park, the Dead played there in June 1967. My brother's friend made the poster for the show, you can see it online, just type in 6/8/75 Jerry Garcia and it should come up. Anyway, it was a blast!

    A real dud ( not Tony)

    I never liked David Bowie's " Young Americans". The 6 before that, from the one known as "Space Oddity" up to "Diamond Dogs" I thought were brilliant - one or the other would have been daily listening for me in my mid teens, and I still like them. But I still don't like "Young Americans". I liked the ones after, though, from "Station To Station" up to "Scary Monsters".

    According to Michael Messer, maybe the main authority on slide guitar in Britain, Tony McPhee was the first Englishman to perform acoustic slide blues to any sort of audience, back in the early 1960's. His approach was different than every other blues guitarist I heard from this fair land. More John Lee Hooker and Son House inspired than the rest of the pack. Powerful and original.

    I seemed to have developed an obsession with Steve Stills Manassas. Not the yee haw country stuff but the rest is really excellent, up there with Gene Clark's No Other. I really couldn't stand it back in the 70s but with age I've learnt to love it.

    I haven't been able to play Groundhog's Split since Tony McPhee left us. My wife's not in the best mood lately, it could tip her over the edge. It feels weird when your heroes from your teenage years die after a fall at home. I can't imagine Tony as an old man. Actually that's not true, he seemed somehow somewhere beyond all his contemporaries back then.

    A Dud Among The Gold

    Bill Foley, majority owner of the Vegas Golden Knights, is a billionaire businessman who grew up in Texas in a family that had been ranchers for generations. He spent time in Ottawa when his dad, a member of the U.S. Air Force, was stationed there. He picked up a love of hockey in those years in Canada. I therefore consider Mr Foley an honorary Canadian, and the Knights as Canada’s 8th franchise, much like George Martin was the 5th Beatles. Go Knights! See Jack - Canadaland is not out of this yet!

    DaveRock- Great points. Every genre did seem to almost be a reaction to a previous one, and often with a touch of scorn, on the side.

    Ok, I do have one Bill Frisell album I don’t like - at all. “Silent Comedy”, which is akin to Lou Reed’s Metal Machine Music, or Neil Young’s Arc, both which never should have seen the light of day. Produced by John Zorn, whose music is highly overrated, this one by Frisell is DOA, and I keep it only as a completist. Why in the world would anyone think it is ok to release such a piece of shit as these three albums. I had a friend in school who was apoplectic when Reed released Metal Machine Music, and I get it.
    Does anyone have a band or performer they love who released something so out of left field, you wanted to use the thing for skeet shooting? “Pull!!!”

    What a racket !

    Many of the best rock bands annoyed the previous generation of fans - it was a positive sign of development to do so. And music changed at an exponential rate between say, 1965 and 1975. If you were into rhythm and blues, you could have been alienated by psychedelia, if you liked that - you could be thrown off by Sabbath or GFR, if you like that, by glam then by punk etc etc. If you understand any of those you can see the good and the not so good in each genre. If you don't understand it - it all sounds bad. Like hip hop does to me. Not understanding all we see - we aren't always qualified to judge.

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.

The Warning is a three piece sister band from Mexico. Look out for them. You heard it here first.
I've been paying attention to them for the past year or so.
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...
