    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.

    GFR, Foreigner

    I had that album with We're An American Band in high school. Sold off a ton of albums in college as trade ins at a great record store in Ft. Collins. I imagine that's where that one went. I think it came with a giant sticker? Crow's comments reminded me of watching Foreigner on some PBS begging show recently. Never followed them other than recognizing that about everything they played was some huge commercial hit. Tons of them. Listening to that stuff now I was watching the lead guitarist and going, meh. The other striking thing was how the new lead singer, Kelly Hansen who is very good, sounds exactly like the original guy, Lou Gramm(?). I think they even had some of the old band members on that show too. We've talked about such reissued bands here to some degree. The We're Near Death Now Tour types too. What do they do, sell the rights to the name of the band when there are no longer any original members? Still keeping royalties for their families? The hits just keep on rolling, in wheelchairs.
    Cheers

    Boy, Rare Earth - a great band that slipped my memory. I remember buying their Motown records singles, they were quite popular on AM radio in the late 60s. I also owned Grand Funk’s “We’re An American Band” on gold vinyl, which I thought was pretty hot stuff at the time.

    Last 5
    Phish - Bittersweet Motel (DVD)
    Frisell - Disfarmer (DVD)
    Charles Lloyd - Forest Flower (great summer jazz, and a first rate band)
    Dylan - Shadow Kingdom (Bob in great voice)
    Nils Lofgren - Nils Sings Neil (better than you might expect for an album of covers)

    Dunkin' on the Funk

    Grand Funk is another example of that Thing some of us was talking about a little while back, ie how the rock critics of the early ‘70s despised a lot of bands that were really popular among “the kids.” Grand Funk was HUMONGOUS at my junior high school. I think somebody gave me E Pluribus Funk at my 13th birthday party. If you just wanted to boogie, well, they boogied. They had #1 hit singles. They sold out Shea Stadium (and unlike those wimpy Beatles, only took a couple days to do it.) They were Homer Simpson’s favorite band of all time. They were comin to your town, they were gonna help you party it down. They were an American band.

    A pretty shitty one, though, with benefit of hindsight and no longer being 13 years old. Some of the early ‘70s Bands That Kids Liked But Critics Hated have stood the test of time surprisingly well, most notably Sabbath and Zeppelin. Some have earned a grudging respect, like Kiss and Alice Cooper. But the critical disdain for Grand Funk has never wavered. Which is kind of surprising, given that even disco (mindless boogie music if ever there was) has gone through a popular revival or two and gets a fair amount of respect these days. You’d think some contrarian critic out there would make the case for them as a great band, but no. Maybe because … they weren’t?

    Anyway, we know Phil Lesh didn’t like ‘em. On one of the shows in the St Louis box, I forget which, Phil calls out the Funk. I can’t remember what he says exactly but IIRC Bobby is going on with one of his “take a step back”" raps and Phil butts in to say something to the effect that if everybody doesn’t behave the Dead won’t be able to play there anymore “and you’ll have to listen to Grand Funk Railroad.” I think I remember that, anyway. These days I remember a lot of things that didn’t actually happen.

    Anybody else out there listen to the Good Ol’ Grateful Deadcast? At the end of the current ‘season’ of episodes about the shows in the HCS box, Jesse Jarnow says something about lingering for a moment in the spring of ’73 before moving on to the summer. Is that a hint that they’re about to (finally!) release Watkins Glen? Does the fact that the HCS box includes a jam with some Allman Bros indicate they may have worked out the legal difficulties that may have held up a release in the past? Did Jesse Jarnow even say that, or am I remembering another thing that never happened? Is anyone still reading this?

    The Groundhogs are a perfect example of a band that didn’t make the leap from U.K. to US.
    A great guitarist, and a great band. I only knew a small handful of people who knew/liked the band. But only because of a lack of exposure. And that goes west to east also. These bands just didn’t quite make it in a ‘world’ context. The only album I owned was “Split”, and I loved it.
    I would put Family, Taste, Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band & many, many others in this category.
    Going west to east, Grand Funk Railroad, Rare Earth, Molly Hatchet and hundreds of others.
    This even is the case just going from one country to another.

    I guess my point is that we miss out on a LOT of music just because of where we are born.
    Now this crowd I say is MUCH more aware than your average music listener, but we still miss out on a lot from one side of the Atlantic to the other. I’m always going to lack exposure to a LOT of great bands, but it doesn’t mean I HAVE to. I just gotta poke around.

    After all, Music IS the Best!!

    Very sorry to read about Tony McPhee. Split was my favourite album of theirs by some distance. Curiously I felt like playing it last night - I didn't, but I'll put it on later today. The Groundhogs were great live, too. I was amazed the first time I saw them that Tony could play all those extraordinary guitar sounds heard on Split on stage. He was also more earthed in the blues than most of his more celebrated contemporaries, backing John Lee Hooker, with The Groundhogs, in the mid 60's. A great and underrated musician.
    I don't like it as much as"Split" but "Thank Christ For The Bomb" has always been one of my favourite album titles.

Anticipation of replacement of that defective disc was heightened by significant number of automatic replies and rejected emails from wmg customer service. Marye had assured me she had put the request in soon after I contacted her, then about a week ago I had an email from a real person saying the disc was being sent out. Whats funny is that I am still getting automated messages from wmg that my request has been updated.
First Dead show was the March 73 concert at Baltimore Civic Center, w/ Wolfman Jack mc, brought a camera. Missed a couple of other DC area shows by moving to Maine in 1970. Summer 1973, made it to Watkins Glen where we set up a few feet behind where HendrixFreak was. Very first rock event, age fifteen, Jimi at the Washington Hilton ballroom, March 1968, where he was tackled by a college prankster wearing a chicken head mask and did not miss a note. Holy Crap, long time ago. On Long Island, Casco Bay today with old college buddy Andy waiting for fog to lift, go fishing.

Woooo whoooo, Nuggies AND the K niggits, two championships in 2 daze!
Congrates Vguy! What a game. Must of been ridiculous to be in the building!
It’s an awesome feeling to win, of course I would only know that from other teams as Bu faf still suffering the curse! Hey, at least the Leafs have won it numerous times, Bu faf has still never won anything…(well, lacrosse if ya count that?)
Being a Buffalo fan ain’t for pussies: watch that Bills/KC game where they lose in the last 13 seconds, then multiply times over 50 years…ummmhhhmmm…no bueno
So it’s nice to live vicariously and win one once in awhile ; )

Now that sports are effectively over for the time being, you may want to check out the Bill Walton 30 for 30 special on ESPN if you still need to get your fix.

I caught parts of episodes three and four last night between periods of the hockey game. Well worth my time.

Thanks for the clarity. I remember now you discussing some this stuff before. My egg is obviously scrambled. Just thought when the MSG box came out that you might have been the one with the Playing/Crazy as the first show. Oh well. What was it? Confabulation. Thanks for the write-up. Man what a great start to a musical life. Have a friend who saw Hendrix at the 1970 Atlanta Pop Festival. Was that Baltimore show released. Isnt there a dead release that has Wolfman introducing them? Or was that in 1971? My scrambled egg might be over-cooked.

VGuy Congrats!!! What a spectacle of domination that was. Florida looked fierce the first 10 minutes of the first game, then they looked way outmatched. Congrats to all the Knights, top to bottom. What a great team they are.

I caught the first two parts of this but haven't seen the next two. Obviously, Dead is infused throughout. Walton can grate on you with the hyperbole about things both Dead and non-Dead, but he was a fantastic bball player. His body just wasn't built for longevity. Shame, cause he had ridiculous skills and court awareness. Saw him, Parrish and McHale at a Worcester Mass show on side of the stage in April 87 and that was weird. Three skinny giants. Would love to know what Parrish thought of the show.

Saw him twice at Red Rocks on stage right.
Once with his leg in a cast and on crutches.
Looked like he was having fun nonetheless.
He has some ridiculous number of shows seen.

I was a HUGE Walton fan when he was a player. I used to take the bus down to Pauley Pavilion to watch him and his Bruin teammates practice under John Wooden, the greatest coach of all time when I was a pup. Yep, I was that much of a gym rat, then. Used to spend an inordinate amount of time playing and watching hoops. Tried to pattern my game after Walton, in fact. Which worked for a little while: I am tall for a "normal" human, but not for a basketball player, so those moves that 6'11'' Bill used down in the post didn't work that well for me.

But he was great! Possibly the greatest college player of all time, but a guy whose body was not durable enough for the more physical game and longer seasons he had to endure as a pro. People forget this now, but the media at the time criticized Walton relentlessly for his vegetarian diet, blaming his injuries on poor nutrition. Which was bullshit. It later came out that team doctors had wrongly diagnosed and failed to treat his plantar fasciitis and other injuries. But it just shows you how a long haired, bearded, vegetarian, Deadhead athlete was viewed by the straight media in the '70s.

I, too, sometimes find his broadcast work to be over the top, but I have to say that in person he's really nice and genuine.

About ten years ago I was freelancing an article having to do with the NBA playoffs, and I was attending a game that Walton was broadcasting. I thought it'd be good to get a comment from him, so I stopped him in the hallway as he was leaving the court and asked for his thoughts, tape recorder at the ready. I thought he would give me a sentence or two and hurry on his way. Instead, he said, "let's do this right, let me give you my home number, you can call me tomorrow and we'll have a real conversation." I had to call several times, but eventually I got him on the line, and we talked for over an hour. I had what I needed after the first five minutes, but we were having such a nice conversation about life, music, basketball, food, etc, that we just kept going.

I remember telling him, "you know, in my mind's eye, I can still see it to this day: I'm 13 years old and sitting in the stands Pauley, and there's this tall red headed kid with a basketball on his hip, leaning down to listen intently to Coach Wooden as he talks." And Bill just says, "I'm a lucky, lucky man."

Such a long long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.

Used to see him a lot at post Dead shows, especially Red Rocks.
Often he’d be in VIP right in front of the board, usually putting on a show of his own lol.
Remember one year he was leaning into the music so hard, leaning over the little section rope so far he damn near fell a few times. I can still see him doing this thing with his arms above his head to the wheel.
Quite the visual seeing this goofy psychedelic giant gettin his groove on.

So what’s next?? We’re in the annual deadnet doldrums again, everything’s moving here but much too slow…
Perhaps 47 will 6/22/91 to go with the MUATM?

I've been considering this lately, too, while I wait for my Dave's Picks 46 (yep - it's still not here yet. Replacement was shipped June 6th, but still I wait. I'm not sure why this is turning into such a quagmire...)

So outside of the Giants Stadium box set, Dave hasn't dipped his toe into the Vince era yet, and one could say he's overdue: Dick's Picks #9 (Released 25+ years ago now!) was a Fall 1990 show, and Dick's #17 was Fall 1991(edit: forgot about #27, 12/16/92).

But counting inclusively there are 6 official releases from 1991. Meanwhile, 1988 has but 3; 1984 and 1985, 2 each; and 1986, just one. Even the formerly neglected 1981 and 1982 now each have 5 shows officially released thanks to the MSG box set.

I've heard that the quality of what's in the Vault begins to fall off in the mid-80s, and what's there is often on cassette, so I'm guessing that's one reason '84-'86 releases are limited. (I don't have sources for this so I may be wrong; if anyone wants to share more, by all means please do! I'm always fascinated by tales from the vault.)

Man, what a nice problem to have, and what treasure! Such loot! Thirty years to choose from, and outside of the first few years (and the black hole that is the 2nd half of 1970) most of it is archived in the vault.

Just skipping down memory lane. Went to check on the old Oakland/Kaiser Auditorium. Awesome to finally see it is being renovated. Should have been open by now. Nice pic at oaklandside dot org. Also an old picture many have probably seen but here is what it says...

"In the Dark of the Night, The Ship of the Sun is driven by the Grateful Dead." Nice, seems like I read that somewhere a long time ago.

Edit: About stupid by the new company, turning the arena into open office space. Weird, as human resource studies a couple of years back showed that traditional office space employees are more productive than open air with cubicles. To me, a waste of an old incredibly historic building. Was hoping it could be renovated to its original use as a beautiful civic center complex. Would be awesome for symphony in the theater; and smaller music venues have seen renewal as concert touring is just now catching up to using smaller venues. Meaning bands that draw between 300 and 1200 capacity audience. I know around here, we are rehabing several smaller venues that seat 200-300. Long term plan is to bring in young touring bands, let them build an audience. Then maybe later, they will be big enough to take on the new music hall, around 1100, then the concert hall 2,199, then the arena or amphitheater 10,000 and 8,000. And then an old minor league baseball field that is also being rejuvenated. The ballpark would seat the 15000-30000. Then use an under-utilized college football stadium if we ever needed a 60,000 capacity facility. BTW, I hate that Vegas grabbed the Oakland Raiders and now possibly the A's. Sorry VGuy no offense, but I like teams to stay where they are unless there are truly real issues. I guess the A's and Raiders truly got tired of no new facilities. Sorry Billy Bean.

Can you imagine the utility bill for the arena with its high ceilings and rent running only $4-5 a sqft? Maybe that is why it hasn't opened this year on schedule. Of course, the growing concerns with banks and commercial real estate loans, I am sure aren't helping. Sorry, I just love that building.

So UPS is threatening to go on strike August 1st. I hope the PTB at dead.net are keeping tabs on the news because if this happens, a lot of us are not going to receive Dave’s 47. It would be in dead.nets best interest to use FedEx or DHL or just straight USPS this next time around. I read the last time UPS walked out in 1997, it lasted 15 days.

LowR, so sorry to read about your loss. It's tough thing however a good thing that we can share these stories especially when they involve health, family, friends. Gary Dicks 23 might be the Baltimore Civic Center show you were thinking of, September, 1972. Far as I know, March 26, 1973, my first live has not been released, that's the one with Wolfman Jack introducing them. It's a great show, worthy of release. Just back from Maine, we caught three Striped Bass over two days, released two, kept a 31". That's a big fish. Those who are concerned about animal cruelty need not read any further (skip ahead), we used live bait, so we fished for mackerel first, caught a bunch of them, into the bait tank. They are beautiful small fishes in their own right. Striped bass love them, so they make great live bait. Big fish eat little fish. We kept the bait alive and kicking in salt water tanks and returned all fishes to the bay. Kept just one fish and we ate that fish, not a trophy. However, so damn proud to bring in a fish like that, tempted to replace the sunflowers. In a small world twist, turns out my old buddy's sister is married to a guy who is cousin to Keegan Bradley's father Mark, whom I know from when Mark was a club pro in Vermont years ago. Mark Bradley's sister is the LPGA star Pat Bradley. So I will dip into political aspects of sports for a moment to say I hope somehow an anti trust suit is brought to keep the Saudi money out of the PGA Tour, otherwise it becomes the PGS Tour. Missed most of the coverage of the first two rounds of the US Open, three holes in one yesterday??? Was fortunate to play LACC many years ago, indeed quirky. When the tournament officials, in this case the USGA set up the course for play, they sometimes go for the drama, put the pin locations in a collection area, a natural "bowl" or concavity that favors a hole in one, the drain on a sink. And yes, on hiatus from the Dead's music for a time, Billy Strings and Phish mostly on the trip.

48 years ago today I was up in S.F. to see the Good ole Grateful Dead light it up! What a blast! One of the few versions of Blues for Alllah, Crazy Fingers opens the show, the best version I've ever heard. Kingfiish comes on before the the Dead and blows the doors off of Winterland. Big Fun!

Been listening on the anniversary:

6-7,8,9-77
6-9-76 (in the car spread over 3 days)
6-10,11,12%,14,15-76
6-17-76 playing now.

Maybe 6-17-91 Blu-ray tonight since I won’t be making it to MUATM.
I was at 6-22-91 and will buy it on Blu-ray if given the chance.
Make it happen Dave/Rhino.

Everything that they have put out is worth getting. The stuff that is just Khruangbin, their 2 discs with Leon Bridges, and their disc with Vieux Farka Toure are all cool listens, but the real treat is their Live at Lincoln Hall release, which is awesome. They put on a great live show, saw them at the Kettlehouse ampitheater outside of Missoula last summer. And the pronunciation is Krung-bin.

I listened to the 6/16/74 segment of Road Trips No 2 Vol 3 yesterday. Exceptional music spread over 2 cds, with the bonus disc included. 6/18/74 for today. The shows released from June 1974 are all great.

These 2 shows, plus 6/26/74 and 6/28/74 in the Dicks Picks series also support Dogon's point on another part of the board, that highlights, as opposed to full shows, can make for great listening experiences.

I really hope the site would use them, all the way to the door!

My brother has worked for UPS since 1993. The company really did their folks a bad deal on retirement. That situation happened maybe 10-15 years ago. Not sure what this strike might be about, but UPS is TOP DOG in freight, IMO.

Lastly, I spent some time with, Ratdog live at Roseland,2001! This a spectacular performance! and very sonically well done! If you have it, break it out!!!!

Nick1234 - exciting news! Dave Brock alluded to this in an interview in a magazine a few months ago, and the interviewer failed to ask him any questions about it. I have been waiting for some kind of announcement - your post is the first I have heard about it since Dave Brocks interview. Beyond essential.

While we're at it, the Hawkwind box set of recordings from 1977-1979 "Days of the Underground" that came out a few months ago is also great.

Congrats VGuy - Great pic, great sentiment, and from what I saw, Vegas REALLY knows how to put on a party! Glad you guys had a great time.

Nevada is the Silver State. So it makes total sense that the Cup should be here.

She did a stint with the Butthole Surfers

BHS is not for everyone, but I dig a good bunch of it. Locust Abortion Technician is their high water mark.

Good afternoon to all our brothers and sisters here! Hope everyone is having a grateful day so far. I recently posted a few pages back If any one’s had any thoughts if we are due for or would welcome an official release for a new ,” New Year’s Eve” Performance made available from the Grateful Dead’s Vault! It’s been a long time since the Dead released any such performances which are available in the Vault.
Anyone have any favorite New Years Eve performances they enjoy listening to or any wish to see an official release some day soon?!
Any feedback would be truly appreciated! Rock on everyone, peace be with you all!

Talking of him - I listened to his first album today - the one that was released the same day as Sergeant Pepper. It opens with "Uncle Arthur" if you please. It's a very odd collection of songs - weird subject matter ie. cross dressing, child murder, songs about English eccentrics... all adorned with sickly sweet middle of the road musical arrangements. Guaranteed to appeal to...nobody. Vaguely chocolate box psych - but it's a bit twee even to fit into that category. If "The Laughing Gnome" had been a hit when it first came out, in 1967, England would have been a very different place in the 1970s.
