    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.

    21 is over the hill

    Crow-your comments on Rolling Stone reminded me of when I was 15 and started buying records, going to gigs..and reading the music press. N.M.E. to be precise. I was surprised to read that nearly all the bands I liked were routinely dismissed - T.Rex, David Bowie, Hawkwind, Black Sabbath - all a pale imitation of what had gone before, apparently. Being 15 I had no idea what had gone before - and in the heat of the moment it didn't much matter.

    It seemed to me that the people who wrote this stuff were at least 5-6 years older than me. They were writing about music aimed at teenagers from the point of view of someone in their mid 20's. So although they assumed they had their fingers on the pulse, they were actually a bit out of touch. People who assume to represent the views of others often are.

    By way of comparison, in ‘92, my wife and I were driving by the Forum in LA, and Gretzky and the Kings were hosting Edmonton for a playoff game that night. On a whim we went to the box office for tix, thinking no way. No problem, seating chart pulled out (before any on-screen purchasing), and we picked up decent tix at face value. Fast forward to this year, my youngest goes to a lot of games, tried for First Round tix here, and he told me it was “Taylor Swiftish”, really exorbitant pricing (I think he said extortion pricing), and resale on the secondary market was crazy. Getting tix for hockey here is so insane, that when my kids were little, the first game I took them too was in Ottawa. I couldn’t get decent tix for four in TO without signing a mortgage to get them. He was in Vegas for his stag last month, wanted to get Knight tix for the playoffs, timing was just off.
    PS - Jack, that particular Leaf “loss” is local lore here, a true case of bad refereeing by Kerry Fraser, who is persona non grata here. Gretzky blatantly high sticked Doug Gilmour, ensuing power play gave the Kings the game.

    Back in 1993, The Leafs were hosting the LA Kings, with Gretzky, in game seven of the conference finals. My brother and I decided to drive up to see if we could get tickets. Scalpers were asking $900 per ticket right before game time. 900 Fkin dollars! Granted, it’s Toronto. But, that was the conference finals not the Stanley Cup finals. And it was before StubHub, or any other similar online service that drives up ticket prices. So we did just what Mike said. Went across the street to the local pub, partied our asses off, had a blast with the locals and woke up $700 or so less in debt. One of the best hockey experiences I’ve ever had. And yeah, the Leafs lost.

    If $600 Was $900

    I get prices rise the further the team advances, that’s dynamic pricing, and they are smart to do it while the demand is there. Plus, there is something to be said for “being there”. Anyone that has been to a live concert, a sporting event, etc, knows the excitement, the electricity of it. But the clinching games will likely be starting at $900. (Jimi’s If 6 Was 9).
    But $600 buys a LOT of music. And $900 buys MORE…

    I am kind of low key fascinated with reading old copies of Rolling Stone. It's especially fun to read reviews of albums and performances they initially panned but which later became recognized as total classics by pretty much everyone, including Rolling Stone themselves. The panned the great debut albums by Jimi, Zeppelin, and Sabbath, the Stones' Exile, Nirvana's Nevermind, Neil Young's Harvest, and lots of other examples of the best music ever recorded. And, in most cases, they eventually backtracked and listed those albums on their lists of all time bests.

    They loved the Dead in the early days, kind of turned against them for a while in the late '70s-early '80s, and then jumped back on the bandwagon for the Touch of Grey years, IIRC. Whatever. I change my mind all the time, too.

    Hendrix songs? Sheesh, almost all of it is great so it's hard to pick favorites but just for the heck:

    Manic Depression: bone crushing riff and man, I related to the lyrics when it first came out: "I know what I want but I just don't know ... how to go about gettin it."

    Purple Haze: this one is so obvious no one ever lists it, but seriously. That riff? Scuse me while I kiss the sky screaming out my 12-year-old self's transistor radio? When I first heard this one, it sounded like the saucers had landed, our new reptilian overlords were walking among us and the world would never be the same. And some of that turned out to be true.

    1983/Merman: still leaves me speechless. Incredibly imaginative fantasy, beautiful playing.

    Axis: love the lyrics and vocal, spent many an hour trying to learn that amazing solo at the end.

    Who Knows: had to pick at least one Band of Gypsys track, and I always thought this one was really under-rated. What a groove!

    Feeling a little low. The wife got Covid, again, and though I'm testing negative I still feel like shite. I'm-a put on some Jimi and power through.

    Blue are the life-giving waters, taken for granted,
    They quietly understand.

    Rolling Stone Article -Springers Inn

    That was one of the first things I ever read about The Dead - before I had heard a note of their music. It was in a book called "The Rolling Stone Rock N' Roll Reader". Printed in 1974, I've still got it - a great piece of writing. It made the band and their scene sound amazing, and I couldn't wait to jump in. Even the titles of the albums- Aoxomoxoa, Anthem of the Sun - very exotic.

    Great show! Time for an official release on this one. This show was part of a great story by Rolling Stone on the Grateful Dead in 1969, with Garcia on the cover. If you haven't read it, its well worth checking out.

Alexandra Palace is 150 years old today. Birthday party is in progress outside the venerable venue.

….but even my dumb ass knows “my” bird isn’t a morning Dove. It actually makes many woo woo sounds in quick almost staccato succession and extended duration often as they take flight. The pitch rises a bit and then falls over the course of the song. I’ve never been able to see any as their usually only active at night, or dusk.
BUT!! via my good bird brained amigos here at DN I now have the Merlin app on device and ready to capture my prey if you will, hopefully this evening…though I’m not sure their fully arrived yet. I briefly heard one recently, but that’s it. Eventually they will fill the night air for their somewhat short visit. Certainly not the best Bird Song ever but pretty sweet (see, got the dead connection in there ; )

Now if the VGN can just tidy things up this evening….

....last Five.
Phish - Spartanburg, SC 10.29.94. Latest archival release.
GOGD - Giants Stadium 7.9.89.
Metal Church - Congegration Of Annihilation.
King Gizzard - Quarters!
Steely Dan - Pretzel Logic.

Oro, be careful after dark, some people claim birds came from dinosaurs... why they have lizard feet. Since the next guess with the woowoo and time of day would be owls, it's obviously not owls...? If you want to hear some weird sounds, check out calls various juvenile owls make, also found in Merlin.

are you, who, who, who, who!
Nah, not Owls, we have several of those at times.
One of the golf courses I worked at had some huge nesting owls right near the cart barn. And after hanging out together alone with them on many a summers eve, I could actually get them to talk with me….oh, what did they say you ask? “Drive for show, putt for doe, gotta work on that short game Hoss!”
Perhaps the coolest of our local birds are all the different big raptors we have, though the. huge Turkey Vultures are most impressive.
We’re fortunate to have a wetlands close by that they’ve been fixing up and depending on time of year it’s a veritable treasure trove of our winged friends. I look forward to utilizing the app to learn more about them, cept beware the moors at night…

I am on board with your Knights!!!

Seen some damn good hockey, but at times, you can tell with the long season and real grind at the end that there is some real tiredness also. Just my casual observation.

Disney now floating that espn could be streaming only in a few years. I wish I could by a season ticket for the Predators, and maybe the Atlanta Braves as i do not get bally sports regional channels any more. Makes me :(

And Birds, we have owls, doves like crazy, but also Bald Eagles and Red Tail Hawks. With no hunting, their populations are starting to get pretty big.

I never went to the Alexandra Palace - although as it is still standing, there is still time. Apart from the Dead's performances there, it is most known to me for the legendary "14 Hour Technicolour Dream" festival that took place in Spring 1967. Featuring many of the new at the time psychedelic bands, and culminating with Pink Floyd in the early hours of the morning. There is a documentary of all this on dvd - sometimes misleadingly advertised as being of Pink Floyd's set. Which it's not - it's mainly made up of interviews as I remember it. Interesting, though.

Is like a drug to me. Like oxygen, I need it to live. I’m struggling with a spouse who just is not on board with my passion. It’s sad, and quite frustrating.
Anybody else ever have to deal with this??
It feels like someone intentionally trying to snuff out my pilot light.

Anyway, I don’t want to bring anyone down on a beautiful Sunday morning. So, me and the cats are the only ones awake right now so, I’m gonna listen to WHATEVER I WANT TO!!
Wishing everyone peace & peace of mind as we remember the brave souls who allowed us to live free and enjoy the beauty of this blue rock.
First up, the new Paul Simon album. I hear it’s good!! After that, it’s Thelma time, bonus disc first!!

The Other One is a book junkie, full on needle to the vain…BUT!
Considering how much of a music junkie I am, and I don’t do cans, so overall she’s a good sport, though there are times…ahem
. Issues usually arise from more specific grievances: “it’s too loud” or “oh no, not that phuching Bob Weirdo again” being the most common. I’m fortunate to have different rooms to go listen, but the uninsulated cardboard walls are no match and almost non existent for the wall of sound lol.
But after being happily unmarried for 26 years ya learn to adjust or go bust…
So tips!
Number one, if she’s getting to read, than I can usually get away with whatever, within reason lol.
If both of us are hanging in the living room I try to pick stuff we both like, though she’ll tolerate some dead. She likes Jer for the most part but is sick of Tennessee Jed after all these years. But Bob, well lol, that’s another story. She’s more sick of Me and my Uncle than even I am so that gets skipped a lot, and if I mute parts of PITD, especially the “murderd cat” part, that helps. The key I find is to feel, intuit or know when I can slide a show in, or when to break out the Bill Evens! Sometimes I’ll pop in some crap I know she really likes, that she knows I don’t like, either just after a show if I feel reparations are required, or sometimes just before I’m thinking of blasting off to soften her up.
Otherwise, it’s best to retreat to the stereo room, but keep it on 6 instead of 11…(ugggg, like having a Porsche that you can only drive in a 30 mph zone)
But sometimes….sorry Tutz. Sometimes ya just gotta let er rip. Fortunately she understands that for the safety and overall well being of the planet this occasionally needs to happen.
Perhaps it just comes down to two junkies tolerating as part of the enabling ; )

Someday, when they put me in some horrible place, and am not allowed to have anymore possessions, I will have to succumb to some nice cans and the sweetest portable rig I can have smuggled in and hid inside my toilet top, cause music is really the best, and life is pointless without it!
So hang in there Mr Ones, we feel yer pain, we are everywhere!
Ps, sounds like you need some cans!

Hard choices amigos, 100 Db of pure crystal clear multitrack dead versus serene but boring communal existence…
When in doubt, happy wife, happy life usually works ; )

I heard my bird briefly last night but not long enough to grab my Merlin app…the hunt is on…

For all the advice and support. It helps more than you know.
The Paul Simon album actually led me to a Micheal Hedges sidetrack. The first song on P. Simon REALLY reminded me of Ragamuffin from Michael Hedges’ 2nd album “Aerial Boundaries”. From there I went straight to my favorite Hedges album, Taproot. This album is not for everyone, but it was the 1st Michael Hedges album to feature multiple instruments on most cuts. Plus, the last song is an ee cummings poem set to music, with a Crosby/Nash backing vocal. Beautiful stuff!!

Tomorrow is another day. Best Memorial Day wishes/memories to all.

You guys (and gals) are always awesome!!

Oro - my 2 bits are on it being a Poorwill. If its active at dusk into night that pretty much limits it to a handful of species - basically owls and nightjars like Poorwill and Nighthawk. Though they're common def not a Nighthawk based on description and consistently hearing an owl species other than a Great Horned seems a stretch. Saying that, there's some lesser known owls that have pretty unusual calls, e.g. Saw-whets, Northern Pygmy, and Flammulated. Many years ago Ex (still a close friend) and I once experienced a beautiful moonlit night in the junipers out in SE Oregon near Malheur with a migrating flock of Saw-whets - pure magic.

edit - how can I forget The Star Spangled Banner

Too young to see Jimi. So some simple pleasure memories are these. I had to work a Memorial Day Weekend in Farmington NM ca. 2014. A little street fair along the river that weekend. One of the bands laid down Third Stone > Tomorrow Never Knows - way very cool. Nearly 39 years ago at the Chicago Blues Festival in Grant Park with some way strong boomers on board (6/7/85). Stevie Ray Vaughn blasting Voodoo Child and Come On (Part 1). Time travel and all that, that night. And Alpine '87 first night - opening chords of Watchtower out of The Wheel- holyshit.

A Boreal Owl? That would be something.

A guy I used to work with, who was 10 years older than me had the opportunity to see the Jimi Hendrix Experience in London in early 1967. He passed it by...reason being he didn't like pop music - just jazz. A bit of a conversation stopper. He looked at me as though to say "And was I wrong?" How to break it to him.
Just goes to show you can be the right age, in the right place, in the right year...and still miss out on the action.

A few years ago I went to a high school football state tournament playoff game. A student from one of the schools played the Star Spangled Banner Hendrix style before the game. He did a good enough job that he received a standing ovation. I'm not sure the other high school students even knew what he was doing but me and my friend enjoyed it immensely. Pretty cool for a high school kid.

So, I have decided to root for the Golden Knights because I have to back my man VGUY!!

Also, I did catch that Leo Kottke/Michael Hedges tour. It was sublime. I saw Mr. Hedges approx. 40 times, mostly in the '80's when he would do a lot of local shows due to his being a student at the Peabody Conservatory of Music.

Speaking of birds, A female duck (not sure which genus) has decided to lay and hatch eggs behind our house in the mulch we put down. I'll Keep Y'all posted on developments.

If it's 3 OF my favorite Hendrix tunes and not MY ABSOLUTE 3 favorites, i can do that:

Are You Experienced
If 6 Was 9
Jam Back At The House-As it appeared on the Woodstock 2 S/T- This is more a childhood memory thing, always LOVED hearing this from the Woodstock 2 Soundtrack!!
That was easy!!

Go Knights!!
