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.

Zorn

Slow Dog - I’m not sure what exactly it is about Zorn’s music I cannot connect with, however you mention Naked City, and I did like that, but a lot of that are his wild takes on film scores. It’s not that I don’t have a taste for anything that doesn’t sound like “She loves you yea yea yea”, because I’m a big fan of Ornette Coleman, Eric Dolphy, and even a Zorn label mate, Mary Halvorson.
I just cannot get over that hurdle on his music, and I know Frisell is a fan, but “Silent Comedy” frankly blew, and that circles back to Zorn. As for the rest of Frisell’s catalogue - gold.

VGuy - Losing last night was ok, because as Jack so astutely mentioned previously, that means (a chance) to win it at home. I missed when the Jays won it here, and the Raptors, and the Leafs, well, I was 10, but I did see it on TV. To win in front of the home crowd would be a party for the ages.

Billy - El Camino Park 1975

Hey Billy, we were probably rubbing shoulders again! I was at that Jerry Garcia Band show at El Camino Park, too! I remember it not being too crowded. I recorded the show with one mic attached to a broom stick! Still have that recording, outta dig it out!

Checking In

I still haven't pulled the trigger on the Sunshine Daydream Box. I have every box since Spring 90 TOO, so i dont know what's holding me back. '73 is my favorite year too. Perhaps i've reached the saturation point of high quality shows. I remember knowing every crevice of certain shows and now i'm pleasantly surprised every time I put one on. I suppose I should get this just for Kezar and the RFK shows though.

Im seeing King Gizz this sunday at the salt shed in Chicago. My first visit to this venue, which looks pretty sweet. I saw them last Oct at Radius on the south side. A few tracks I really liked. A few didn't do it for me. But I like their approach.

Zorn overrated!? First i've heard of that. Yes, some of the book of angels can get repetitive, but writing 300 songs around the same scale can do that. Naked City to me defines the downtown scene, and the musicians he's worked with indicate that he's highly respected. What about him don't you like Mike? Just curious. Gnostic Preludes I is one of my top 5 all time records. Frisell is perfect for that one. The Dreamers group is awesome too. As is Simulcrum with Medeski and Hollenberg.

As for Frisell I've always liked Gone, Just Like a Train, Unspeakable, Histories Mysteries.

Thanks VGuy

I appreciate the kind sentiments. And that's good to hear re: DaP46. I've been really digging into 1972 GD for the past few months. I know what a good year it was and how highly regarded it is, yet it just seems like I am always distracted by shiny objects - the lengthy Dark Stars of 1973, the massive PitBs in the first half of '74 - somehow I think I've done a criminal disservice to the '72 shows in my collection.

But I started looking at how many official releases there are just from September '72. As well, I've still never heard all of the Europe tour... I've had my tapes that I wore out like 4/8 and 5/26, but a lot of the stuff in the middle is still new to my ears. Suffice to say, my mind has expanded and then some... and I ain't done yet.

And it only just hit me that your profile pic is a Golden Knights logo. I grew up going to the Fabulous Form to see the Kings. I remember the Gretzky trade, that place went from drawing a few thousand hardy fans a night to sellouts. OT playoff hockey?! Heck yes!

Grate news Obeah!....

....all good things in all good time 🤜🤛.
Myself? Definitely not underwhelmed. It's a good pick.
It's been playing in my car for a week.
Didn't include it in my last last 5, because it's stops and starts.
Overtime in a Stanley Cup finals game is arguably the pinnacle of pro sports. Signed - Vguy.

looking high looking low...

...and I may have sighted my DaP46! Six weeks after the initial shipping notification and a month after that shipment was lost, a replacement copy has been sent. The tracking info says it's presently at the stage of being handed off from UPS->USPS, which was the last update recorded for my lost shipment, so hopefully this time things go smoothly.

I've been hesitant to read too many reviews & impressions for this 9/9/72 show since I wanted to listen to it and form my own opinion, but I gathered that people were a bit underwhelmed overall...? In any case, I've got 9/24/72 going right now as a substitute, and I'm enjoying the heck out of it.

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.

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.
