    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.

    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?

PT - The last time I saw Tangerine Dream was during Edgar Froese's last tour with them. Very different frome their 70's epics, but still good. I will be interested to read how they are now live. If Steve Hillage plays in the club near you, I would highly recommend him. He is now, and for the last time, I think, playing the music he made from that celebrated decade, but with the hindsight of age, experience and technology. I believe he encored with "Are You Experienced?" last time he played in London.

Speaking of which - Thatmike - I can't believe it's 45 years since you last played L. When I think of the hours I have wasted...I mean enjoyed....listening to that album. Several live albums available by him worth checking out -Live Herald was the one that came out at the time.

Paul Butterfield - it doesn't seem to get mentioned often, but I actually prefer the first album to East-West. At the time it was made - 1965-66 - it was becoming a cliche for white bands to play the blues - and most of them now sound a bit amateurish - just an introduction to the real thing. That Paul Butterfield album was different - that WAS the real thing. And still is.

DaveRock - Unfortunately, after my pals and I got to “mixing up the medicine”, that particular Steve Hillage album disappeared, likely liberated by one of my friends. I distinctly remember having it on vinyl, and thinking it was pretty decent listen. I’ll have to revisit it in the future. Thanks for the heads up on some other listening.

Three cheers to Jim, glad to hear all is well. Health is everything. Family, music, great friends, etc etc can fight it out for second place.

And a nod to Vince Welnick, the somewhat forgotten Dead member.

Go Knights. It’s game time.

28 years ago today would be the last time I would see the Grateful Dead I saw them the night before and really enjoyed the show. The last song I would see was a great version of Liberty.

....was my last time seeing the Grateful Dead live.
Great. Now I'm a little bummed out. 😞
My buddies and I mail ordered for our first east coast shows at MSG.

I heard that that last Tangerine Dream tour with Froese was pretty good, sorry to say I never got to see the originals. Thorsten Quaeschning was Froese's student and has stated that they will continue along with Edward's latest concept. Should be interesting, 3 person band
Another toast to Vinnie, liked his work with the Dead, appreciated his work with the Tubes, his smile would light up the room, a real cool guy.
Appreciate the review of Dead and Company. Too bad they don't turn Mickey loose, melt some faces for sure.

Nice game, VGuy. It was pretty tight until the 3rd. New respect for Adin Hill. Florida has a relentless forecheck, hard pressure on the D, but the Knights of the T-Mobile held fast. Great game, and a little rough stuff, which I like, too!

The new Dylan and the new Cowboy Junkies are on tap for today. Still no DaP 46, no response to numerous requests to Customer Service. Marye if there is anything you can do, much appreciate it. Help Is On The Way, perhaps?

DaveRock- Patience, it truly is the final series. I equate it to World Cup fever every 4 years. Toronto is a hugely multicultural city, so when the WC is on, bars are given special permission to serve liquor all day (to accommodate games played in far flung time zones), cars sport every flag imaginable, another neighbour puts dozens of Union Jacks in his garden, my neighbour paints himself in Dutch orange, guys that have a slight trace of Irish or Brazilian in their DNA are suddenly sporting T-shirt’s from their “homeland”, etc etc, and although I never caught the bug for the Beautiful Sport, I get the excitement it generates, and the fervour. Props to you for your patience and good humour about it!!

to get down, to the heart of the matter.
The end is nigh lol
What a game! I had 3/30/90, the other Nassau on during. Great show and a great game eh!
Serendipity, you bet, the Knights that say née scored that crucial third goal just as Bob was telling us how we needed a miracle, indeed…
New respect for Hill: in the first when they basically mobbed him and were cross checking him etc, I liked how he stood up to them and even threw a couple in the melee. But best part, he was laughing about it afterwards, while the Kittens were getting all worked up…PYSCH!!!

3 to go. Yes, it seems ludicrous to swing at the goalie. He's well padded.
I was a bit worried when that first goal was scored shorthanded, good hustle.
Fortunes can shift but Vegas looks strong.
Never seen the pre-game festivities. The intro is laughable. Very Vegas, quite the show. Onward.
Cheers!
Steve Hillage research led to finding a Tonto's Expanding Head Band LP in the collection. Thanks

Thatmike - seems like great time to be hockey fan. Maybe I'd be one myself if I lived where you do.

Istshow- Tonto's Expanding Head Band are a group I can remember hearing about - but never actually hearing. I always imagined them to be an early electronic band - like 50 Foot Hose or Silver Apples.

Yes, very early use of Moog and other new at the time electronics.
It's actually very good. Jazzy. Jan Hammer is the closest thing I can think of.
They don't go to feedback or the other hideous stuff electronics are capable of.
(Sorry Phil but I dislike Seastones)

My wife usually doesn’t watch sports with me unless it is “live”, but she was watching the pre-game build up (“They have cheerleaders!!”) and loving it. We both figure Las Vegas has a bit of experience entertaining a crowd! That T-Mobile was so electric, you could have charged your cell phone off the crowd while watching the game.

SeaStones? I’m with you 1st Show - hard pass.
Steve Hillage - Further investigation required.
Another early fan of the Moog that doesn’t get a lot of credit for it was Roger McGuinn of the Byrds. Early days for use of the Moog, so it can sound a little dated, but The Notorious Byrd Brothers - besides being a great album, and although they deny it, that horse on the cover was a funny shot at David Crosby - has some interesting Moog work. McGuinn was known for his fascination with gadgets and electronics. A truly great record.

....corny? Maybe. Entertaining? Definitely.
It's the entertainment capital of the world.
One shouldn't expect anything less.
They had some cirque de soleil members on the tethers last night.
We're on the world stage at this point.
Go big or go home.
During the second intermission, it becomes a club party with a pretty damn impressive DJ with awesome lights. I love my lights. They don't show that during the broadcasts.
I love every second of it. Very addictive.

It was a great game. . . for two periods. It really was. Fast paced and Florida was pressuring Vegas hard. Then it unraveled.

I don’t think Cousins had nearly the opportunity that Tuch did years ago, but he still should’ve buried that puck. It didn’t look like he got very good wood on his shot. Tuch did. Tuch just didn’t lift the puck. Regardless, it was remarkable save by Hill.

And how about Thachuk. What kind of lazy pass was that across the middle of the ice? Give Stone credit for knocking out of the air and scoring, but that was all on Thachuk. I thought it was high sticking last night, but after watching it again today, I don’t think so.

Lastly on hockey, I’ve had enough of Koharski as the “expert referee.” The guy is as indecisive as they come and really doesn’t add anything. For me at least. And Jim Schoenfeld.

As for the pregame theatrics, I don’t mind them, but they’re a bit much for me. Edmonton having the entire crowd sing the national anthem is more my speed.

Seastones - no thanks.

Good luck tomorrow night Vguy. I think that Hill save changed the series in your favor. Sweet redemption after the same thing happened to your team while shooting on the very same goal.

I have always likes idea of Seastones more than the reality of actually listening to it. The same goes for the live experiments of the same ilk during 1974. They never really seem to go anywhere to me. Maybe they aren't supposed to.

One fairly early album that I have always liked, which featured synthesizers to set it's tone, is "Man Who Sold The World" by David Bowie. Nothing else I have heard sounds quite like this - very eerie and other worldly. Critics often seem to describe it as an early heavy metal album, which I have never really agreed with. It sounds nothing like the heavy rock albums that came out around that time -1970. "Deep Purple In Rock" "Paranoid" "Led Zep 2" were heavy rock. This was much more woozy.

Not to jinx you, but congratulations. I don’t see the Panthers coming back to win this series. Not the way Vegas is playing right now. That long layoff seems to have taken away Florida’s momentum. Here’s hoping that Florida can win one at home so you get a chance to see the Cup in person.

Looking good Winthorpe, feeling good Todd…
But I’m a little worried about the road trip.
Think the kittens are going to be brutal and shits gonna get weird…

Going back to that for a minute, one curious cd I've got is called "Forbidden Planets", which features early electronic recordings from the end of the 1940's to 1958. It features what might be considered low and high brow music-film themes and classical pieces by Stockhausen. Including "Gesang Der Juenglinge" by the latter. That's bad trip music if there is such a thing!
I saw Stockhausen live once, which was quite a strange evening. He gave a brief lecture, followed by a piece of music called "Hymnen" which is a cut up of various National anthems. They played electronic music on the public speakers in the bar during intermission. It was all quite formal though - it wasn't psychedelic in the same way that rock bands using electronic sounds were/are. I suppose if you were used to seeing classical music performed, it was quite weird. It was all very quiet. I can remember talking to a girl in the bar, who remarked how strange the atmosphere was - with the electronic sounds bleeping away in the background.

Electronic music was an interest of mine in the late 60s and early 70s, hand built small tone generators with Radio Shack kits in part to learn how to control touch tone phone switching. Though I had studied piano, when cut loose with a Moog Synthesizer in a class at American University in 1972, it was a total uphill curve. When viewed photos of early production Moogs, its all about patch cords, tone generators and filters had to be hooked together via external cabling before the keyboard could control much of anything. So there were dozens of phone jacks and cables to connect, spaghetti. Before the Moog, there was the Theremin, patented in 1928... both used by Lothar and the Hand People. When arrived in this area of Vermont eons ago, I came to know Will Wright who lives in these parts and played with Lothar and the Hand People back in the day, played shows with the Dead, the Byrds, Canned Heat, and Hendrix. Will was my guitar teacher briefly. New England Digital was born nearby as well, late 1970s developers of the Synclavier which was originally designed at Dartmouth. Pat Metheny, among others (Zappa, Genesis, The Cars, Herbie Hancock) began to use the Synclavier and since he was in the Boston area, came up this way multiple times to work with NED, gave some solo concerts at Dartmouth to explore it. Pat later developed his version of an Orchestrion, an electronically controlled "player piano" collection of instruments distant kin to synthesizers. Pat's playing locally tomorrow night in trio format, pleased to have a ticket.

Mention of the theramin always makes me think of Clara Rockmore, who I had read about a few years ago, as one of the renowned masters of the instrument. I was always intrigued by her story, playing truly such a unique instrument, and her Lost Album is available for sale. However, I think the Beach Boys’ “Good Vibrations”, and the odd inclusion in my old Munster DVDs is probably enough for me.

Jack Eichel must have one sore shoulder today. It was a clean hit, though, by Tkachuk, but talk about rocking your world. It’s a rough game, keep your head up, Jack. When I was taking karate (Goju ryu) years ago, I was sparring a much younger guy, big fellow that played defence for one of the Junior teams (London Knights), where the NHL players get selected from. He hit me so hard, all I could see was my head rolling across the dojo floor. Keep your head up, and your fists in front of you, Mike.

Received “ Jerry Garcia (Reissue): The Collected Artwork” book today, will go through it over the next few days. I am always amazed by how many great musicians were also first rate artists - Garcia, Joni, Dylan, Ron Wood, Charlie Watt, George Frayne (Commander Cody), Lennon, etc etc. My holy trinity has always been music, art, and sports > there is beauty and poetry and good and evil in all of them. Real soul food.

Edit - I just read this: Clara Rockmore’s theramin album was produced by….Bob Moog. Yes, that Moog.

The first time I heard electronic music was in the early 1960's when I was about 5 or 6. "Telstar" by The Tornados, which still sounds wonderful to me today, and the Doctor Who theme by the Radiophonic Workshop, master minded by Delia Derbyshire. Some 10 years later, when I first heard "Meddle", the opening "One of These Days" reminded me of this music.
