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.

Don't ever joke about Bobby Orr!

What would the greatest hockey player in history be called if he would have chosen not to play hockey?
Wayne Regretzky

What do you call a hockey player in a leaky barn?
Grain Wetzsky

Why can't a pig play hockey? They hog the puck...

I'll pick on football next. The kind with the round ball. And I like that version. Unless people would prefer to discuss religion?

Tomorrow's the big day!! Who can figure out why?

Why was the dog who was playing hockey put in the penalty box? He got 2 minutes for ruffing.....

DiP 18 Currently Playing

There, at least I started with the GD.
Testing some speakers I just bought this morning. So I'm playing something I am very familiar with.
Nice pair of Sansui SP-50 model, 8" two-way with horn tweeter and ported cabinet. Looks to be the 1969-1971 era model with the wood lattice grills. $30 on Craig's list. Perfect shape inside as the coated cloth surrounds hold up well. Grills are a bit scuffed but overall a Good + pair. Guy had nine pair of vintage speakers all at $30/pr., 6 pair of Sansui, I got the second smallest pair to add to my bedroom system.
But..... (there's always a but) .... they don't sound better than my 6.5" two-way Infinitys! Goes to show, you don't ever know. (there, back to the GD) Watch each card you play and play them separately on your home system A/B against that other pair. But for $30 they sound damn good, just not great. Sounds like a yard sale soon, lol.
Cheers

Hey Billy, don’t stop there lol
I’m currently getting into the 88 run, and so far not bad.
Being an 85 nut, always dug those Greeks even if as you say Jer bears throats a bit ruff in spots.
It’s like Jim says: he almost seems to play harder to make up for it!

The lost art of converstaion

There have been more posts from a greater variety of people since that chap through the gauntlet down about ongoing hockey posts than there were before. So its arguable that the criticism of hockey posts has brought more people together than discussion of the actual game did. But for different people.

I've always wondered about why politics and religion are taboo - not just here but generally. I've had some great ding dongs talking about those over the years. My mother bless her soul, was a great advocate of what she called "the art of conversation", which basically meant not talking about anything that might cause unpleasantness. The subjects she mentioned were politics, religion and sex. Funnily enough, she didn't mention hockey.

Anniversary show 4/27/85

43 years ago today I was up at the Frost Amphitheatre for the start of another great weekend with the Good ole grateful Dead. The Dead were really on this weekend, Garcia's voice was a little rough, but they played great! Put 1982, 1983 & 1985 together at the Frost and you would have a great box set. As far as the setting, the absolute best place to see the Dead. I do wish they would have sold beer there. Fun times!

Puck Off!

When any of you go to work, do you only talk about work?
I try to spend as much time as possible NOT talking about work at work…
Since many of us spend almost as much time here (supposedly hanging out with friends?) are we really ONLY going to talk about the GOGD, No! It gets too repetitive here as is….
So we talk about all kinds of interesting things, as friends will do, including sometimes, subjects you or me aren’t that into. But like friends, we just listen, smile and be nice and wait our turn. Hell sometimes we learn or get interested in something we didn’t think we liked, just because it came from someone here we like or respect.

So while some of us have to endure endless posts about certain English bands from within a narrow window of time ad nauseam, or all about birds, or boring books, or World Cup, or tv series ya never heard of, or 1970, 1970, 1970, 71, 71, 71, 71, 71 etc, or Brent sucks, or why does my mail take so long, or why aren’t songs in sequence…or at some point or another, pretty much anything or everything under the sun…is it really that much of a bummer to have to skip a few friendly, often funny posts once in a while, especially once a year when things here are pretty much slow otherwise? It’s like folks who don’t like what their hearing on THEIR radio station, so bitch and moan and bum others out, rather than just change the channel ffs.
NOTE !!! Not trying to specifically pick on anyone or ANY topic, so the above are just what popped into my head, to use as examples, so save the indignation, I’m only trying to make a point, not call anyone out! Which is: next time you don’t like something, think of how many times that person politely listens to your topics….there’s that ole golden rule thing again!

And here’s the thing: is it really so hard for you to not have it always be about YOU, ESPECIALLY when the topic you don’t like is bringing other people together etc,…ya know strangers stopping strangers, just to shake their hand?
Isn’t that perhaps the main thing that’s supposed to happen here: folks who if nothing else, all have the GD in common, and just like BITD at shows, we all came together and we’re kind to each other, shared, and learned from each other, and to get turned on!
Yes the music should be the main glue that binds us, but it’s also about the diversity and culture that’s apart of the music/scene.
I sometimes actually enjoy posts about topics I’m not that into because of the friendliness, bonding, and positive vibes that come from such nice interactions! Sometimes you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if YOU look at it right!
What is the real, main reason you come here? For me if you dissect it, it’s socializing. Personally I’m mostly a loner, but even a lone wolf needs pack occasionally. So if I’m going to socialize, it’s nice to do so with folks who also love the thing I enjoy best, but I don’t expect for a NY minute that that’s all we’re gonna discuss. In fact I’m glad we don’t.

I know one thing for sure, I’d rather come here first thing I get up, all groggy and mellow and see kind folks getting along and putting out a peaceful easy feeling about something I’m not that into, then folks being stubborn, judgmental, and douchey, even if it’s a topic I love and would normally rather talk about.
Oh, and if you just have to sound off about something, do it respectfully, be nice! You don’t have to be a dick just because you disagree!
So PUCK OFF, this is becoming a bummer, I’m going back to bed, or where the water tastes like wine and the climate suits my clothes, cause y’all are becoming a drag…

Oh, and congrats PF, the mighty Kraken totally deserved it last night! Hopefully the Leafs will change history tonight.

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.

3 31 73

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.

Looking forward to a another binge soon!
Keep ‘em coming brother…

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?....

....Althea later!

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.
