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.

The rumors of my demise were greatly exaggerated

And much appreciated. ('tis only a scratch. Merely a flesh wound)

Just crazy busy with things in general. There are a few cumbersome facts of life and relationship hard knocks that had to be delt with, but no biggie. Just cumbersome and time consuming.

It has taken MUCH more energy to back on the more difficult rivers this year. It gets harder every year but this year I had to train a bit and get in better shape, and still took a beating last weekend. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, isn't that how the saying goes?

All is good.. I am listening to more GD after a brief hiatus. Just finished my first listen to 45 and venturing into the pleasant 1972 sounds of 46 soon.

Thanks for your concern.

Helloween....

....yes Kriyas it's called the United Forces tour. They've had three singers since they started. All have incredible vox, and all three are on this tour. And it looked like they were having a blast on stage.
Somewhat corny lore, which they admit, but man, they can play power metal like nobody's business.
Golden Knights tix are dropping. Under $400 now.
RIP Vince Welnick.

Helloween

Amazing band that I've always been a fan of. Dig it in some recent years they've put on shows welcoming almost anyone that played in the band on tour to rock n roll metal style. How Many Tears...all cruelty and violence on earth will be dead and gone...

PT Barnum, yes indeed, I've seen each show so far (not Cornell though) from my spot on the couch tour. I can largely confirm what you've heard. For example, the tempo is ever so slightly faster in places/at times, though not by a lot. Setlists have been nice... St. Stephen->Eleven followed by Iko (Last night in Raleigh), yes please.

Musically, I'd say this band is listening to itself, the players are listening to each other. Some songs feel different... Fantasy->Hey Jude seems to be used as a chance to get a little jammy in the first set instead of a crowd-pleaser that appears toward the end of a show. Other times I feel like Mayer's sound drifts into something that I could imagine David Gilmour being happy with. Bob's singing/delivery today reminds me more of his take on Bob Dylan than the all-over-the-stage Bobby of the "ugly brothers" years. And yet at times all those differences can suddenly evaporate, and the music can feel a lot more familiar, like with last night's Bird Song.

That said, the only time I miss being at the venue is when Drums starts. Mickey's got his squad mates - not just Jay and Oteil, but one night we even had Steve Parish out there - but when he turns his attention to the beam, sometimes one can be forgiven for thinking that it's Mickey's show. A bit like how it used to be with Genesis in the post-Peter Gabriel years, when Phil Collins would come out from behind his drumkit and emerge as the leader. And Mickey's also the only one providing any counterpoint, any real DARKNESS and danger, to an otherwise fairly plucky and upbeat show vibe. But I ramble. Drums has been consistenly excellent. Maybe my only gripe here would be that it feels a bit similar from night to night. But I think you could extend that metaphor to the shows. Unlike the Dead, this band isn't trying to feel out the audience in the first few songs to see what they are responding to and where they might like to go; the setlists are written in advance, and they are clearly paying attention to the curfew, so there really isn't a chance for Mickey to just say "screw it, this is sounding so good, this groove is so deep, I'm not stopping until they come to take me down..."

Sooo many more, genius.
Saw Tangerine Dream was touring and low and behold, they are coming to a club near me. Far out, no original members left, but will be interesting checking out the new sounds. Standing or Seating, 10 bucks more for seating and very limited. so Worth it as tangerine dream can get a bit horizontal I think that's how Daverock put it. Still half what a Bob and the Wolvles show cost
Anyone following the Dead and Co. shows? Set list look very good, haven't heard anything yet but did see Mickey was doing a tribute to the cosmos and going where no man has gone before with his time in the spotlight. More time given to Mickey since Billy has bowed out. Mickey has taken it upon himself to keep the faith and push the envelope every night that he is on, traces of the old Mickey Hart band and their quest into the commos. Possibly the best part of the shows now is the drumz>space. Have also heard that they have picked up the tempo a bit from the slower format that they had adopted.
Dark Star Jubilee had Bruce and the noisemakers playing old favorites the "other ones" way. Always a treat when Bruce breaks out the dead tunes. So much to comment on, later...

Paul Butterfield

I saw him.play for free at De Anza College. I t was a free afternoon show out side along with James Cotton & Norton Buffalo, they were promoting a harmonica show they were doing in the Bay Area. I could have seen him in 1973 at Winter land along with Bloomfield and Bishop, but I foolishly turned down my friends offer to go with them. I would like to have a do over on that decision.

JiminMD is fine....

....the circulating rumors are false.
BTW, made a last minute decision to go see Helloween last night with my friend from high school. Him and I cut our teeth on music together. Our first concert was Iron Maidens Powerslave tour in '85. We were hooked on live music ever since. We blame Eddie for our addiction.
We both bought the first Helloween record in '84. We are OG fans.
They put on a pretty damn good show. We left impressed.

To continue, "I am going to pump you up." I am constantly amazed by yalls depth and breadth of knowledge. I received this great gift from serious regular around here. It is a 2 page article from 1969, with an interview of Jer.

I wrote this poster back how floored and how educated ole Jer comes off. It proves for sure someone like Jer (and the rest of GD family) and many of yall have wisdom well beyond what can be learned in formal education. Now my touch of wisdom has more to due with years lived, although I did earn "higher education" from high tiered "institution." But Jer, in 1969, was like 27. I am just getting where he was then, now. I may have to re-read that interview with Jer this weekend. Seems like it was a local interview, not a national publisher.

Hope to finish up my Rolling Stoned post I have been chewing on today/tomorrow. Not much there, but can be expanded...

Jim, my little knowledge

Received a message a while back that various parts of his family, and Jim too, has had some health issues. Think most of us understand that. He has also had other life issues going on, just the routine stuff, like vehicle issues.

My man Jim, hope all is well, hope to chat soon.

We definitely need him back, bad. He is, like yall, so knowledgeable. I am constantly surprised at the intellect, history, and stories of this bunch. Definitely the best read around, way beyond Rolling Stoned.

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.

BFD

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....

....after owning a smartphone since 2011, I'm finally a member of the cracked screen club. Fell literally two feet off my end table, and yes. It has a case. Booooo!

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.
