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.

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.
VGuy - When the A’s move, do all the animals living in Oakland Stadium move to Vegas, too?

And T-Mobile gets extremely electric.
There have been renderings released of the potential look of the Oakland A's ballpark being planned here.
It. Has. A. Partial. Roof.
No thanks regarding that genius idea. Apparently, the architects haven't been to Vegas in July/August.

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…

If there is a home Knights game where they can clinch....

....I will probably go. Otherwise, staying home for the first couple games. My couple of friends I usually go with agree.
Panthers tix are about the same price.

My Yellow in this Case is Not So Mellow

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.

Knight Ticket$$

$600! For the cheap seats!
A great sports bar with lively atmosphere, decent food and drink, a bunch of pals is the way to go. Better “seats”, great food, beer that isn’t pony pee, no hassle washroom access, and you save a bundle.
For the next game!!

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.

SLC....Salt Lake City....

....and they did play Dark Star there in '73. I had to double check myself to be sure I didn't dream it.
Here Comes Sunshine box in hand.
Ohhh boy.

It is a big fucking deal....

....speaking of BFD's, I just stumbled on a band called Tropical Fuck Storm.
TFS.
Australia 🇦🇺 making plays!
Last Five material.

SLC - a paradise for lizards

Vguy -You dreamed it - no '73 SLC Dark Star. And, if its the Dark Star on DiP28 you're thinking of, that is from Lincoln, NE. Like Drpryan said, the Dark Star - the full show - from 4/12/69 at the Student Union Ballroom, U of U is a real good un.

Dead performed the song Salt Lake City once, 2/21/95. Strider was there. Show released in the 30 Trips box. Beautiful Foolish Heart and first Visions of Johanna since the pair in '86.

Check it out. Great show.

Synchronicity:

"The Race Is On" played while I crawled through traffic in Portland OR. The thing is, I was right by Portland Meadows, a horse racing track.

That was cool.

News story today

about Great Salt Lake drying up

I've heard before about that but...timely given recent SLC mentions

I Live In Utah

The Great Salt Lake drying up has been an issue for some years now.

Your welcome

I'm still protesting over Garcia (50th Anniversary Edition) being released only on vinyl as I have no vinyl setup.

Lakes drying up....

....Hola from the southwest! 👋
In other news, my Phish Farmhouse LP is shipped and the latest archival release was announced today. 6.16.00 Osaka, Japan 🇯🇵. Comes out Friday.

Yes, "heard before about that"

You're welcome

Thanks Nitecat

Looking forward to Healy interviews 2 and 3.

I wonder....

....if Dave Lemieux and Kevin Shapiro hang out and share notes.
The archivists of my top 2 bands. Pumping out righteous tunes.
Currently watching Evil Dead Rise.
Give me your best shot. I can take it. Dogs and son are out.

Evil Dead Rise....

....I love me some horror. And this one fed my fix.
Bravo!!

IceCreamKid

Your welcome. Glad you enjoyed the Healy interview. That was shot in a balcony storage area. The Hunter interview, Constanten interview and Cipollina interviews have been very popular also.

You might also enjoy the Dead Head TV Ice Cream Kids.

Whelp, it finally happened....

Then yay!!!....

....Mickey released an ATMOS mix of Workingmans.

hey VGUY....

re: your HBD wishes.... I've been a-Head since my first show in '82 (can't get enough) ... but re: Phish, I've seen them at Jazzfest, and was just listening to my only Phish CD, a live one. Love alot of it ... if you're in the know, what other Phish releases would you recommend ... no pressure, just looking for some advice ...I think I have a DVD of a show they did back east as well. thx man!.....tcc

Phish?

Hampton Comes Alive

That and A Live One are the extent of my Phish collection

HCA...nice stuff, I must say

Those dudes from Vermont?....

....New Years '95 and Vegas '96. Clifford Ball. And, of course Hampton.
Anything between 1994 and 1999 gets my blood pumping.
If you want a good laugh, watch Phish shreds IT on you toob.

Hey "That Mike," if you see this, And Phish

You mentioned a couple of weeks back that you had watched Phish's Live in Brooklyn DVD. Wanted to post that is a huge part of my yearly rotation. Listen to it 2-3/year. Just an awesome performance, just one of many I had a chance to see but was too busy at work to go. The last time I was in the Hampton Coliseum was for the recording of Hampton Comes Alive. Think, from memory, it was Cincy, Murfreesboro, and Hampton. A fun little jaunt. All three were wild. Saw Phish first time in November of 1995. A Live One also a great recording. Hard to believe but 2023 marks their 40th anniversary as a band. Happy anniversary Phish!!! Love you guys, get a couple of shows in next few weeks, and then maybe Nashville. Fall dates announced.

What did Mike Tyson say to Bob Wier?....

I've been enjoying these, Scott. Thanks so much for going through the trouble to clean these up and get them out there.

Evokes some great memories.. in the days before internet (at least as we know it now), social media and cell phones.. when Duprees Diamond News was how a lot of us figured out what was going on during the shows we could not attend, this looks like it was put together about this time. I have never seen any of it before.

Thanks again.

Jiminmd - dead head tv

Glad to hear you are enjoying it. When I was producing and directing the show, I tried to make a show I would like to watch, an intelligent comment on the scene, show highlights, tour highlights, what a venue that I could not attend was like. I'd be interested in interviews with people involved in the Dead sphere, and with deadheads themselves, because they seemed to be interesting people. That's why we did "Deadhead Profiles". I felt like the straight media at the time was missing how cool the scene and the deadheads were, and as a professional journalist I could tell the story better, at least from a informed deadhead's perspective. What was amazing is it took off like a rocket, and we soon had all sorts of deadhead friends contributing to the show.
