    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.
    I'm 6'4", so that's never a problem for me lol.

    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.

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…

As long as I fast forward through Bob's slide solos and Estimated screaming(aptly qualified here as histrionics), nobody gets hurt.

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.

BLUECROW et el: haven’t captured our prey yet, but I did spend all morning listening to Bird Songs, sans JG that is ; )
Though I haven’t found anything exact, so far the Boreal Owl comes closest…thanks for the recommendations.

My favourite sequence, and my favourite piece of music by Jimi Hendrix is from Woodstock - Star Spangled Banner- Purple Haze-Woodstock Improvisation-Villanova Junction.

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!!
