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.

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.

Ice Cream for Crow

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.

Bad luck

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

freedom of expression

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?

Unfortunate...

The title of recorder player Svetlana Gruebbersolvik's album "My lips are for blowing".

Didn't anyone think it might be inappropriate?

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.

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.
