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.

RIP - 6-10-73

RIP Gordan Lightfoot. I head him a ton on the radio in the 70's but really didn't pay much attention until about five years ago. It's possible I paid more attention once I learned he wrote Early Morning Rain.. but in my old age I began to realize what a talented songwriter and singer he really was. He had poor health the second half of his life, but lived to 84 nonetheless.. a life well lived.

WTF, finally.. the summer 73 Box set we have been begging for.. the angry mob was successful! I think the date on my Way Back Machine on my Avatar has been set for 6/10/73 for over a year. It finally worked... you all can thank me!! Mission accomplished.

But don't relax just yet. Angry mob, take the rest of the week off, diggers and tunnel builders, keep digging. Next week we hit them even harder for more 1967 through 1970 GD. They gave us the 73 box, I say we tripple the effort and get more primal GD. If that fails, we should have the tunnel built under the vault by June or July. Never give up!!

A happy day in deadland.

Just came to lament Gordon Lightfoot

Then found this "secret" 1973 release!--I heard nothing of this release in my e-mail?? I wondered if they weren't going to do RFK for the 50th, given how Dave alluded to the shows a few years back in a, "Yeah, we DO need to get those out, don't we . . . " kind of manner. Got the coffee mug, too, since I never have had a GD coffee mug.

No DaP46 in MN yet . . .

Be kind, rewind.

p.s. Two hours after ordering the big box I received the announcement e-mail!

73 Box - Wow

Thanks for the tipoff, that 73 box looks Grate and is a very welcome surprise.

Still waiting on this DaP, with any luck the carrier pigeons have delivered it to my mailbox, low tech.

Yeah but

We got full shows for Beauty and Working mans?
Your probably right, though knowing Dave I can see us getting something that doesn’t make sense lol.
Guess I’m just being greedy ; )

Man those September shows I mentioned are choice though!
EDIT: I know the line has always been to hate on these and I’m not sure why?
Yeah there different, and I understand why some don’t like, but I did the whole tour in sequence a couple years ago and really liked it. I’m a jazz nut so maybe that has something to do with it?
Hell, I think a couple of these shows are as good as the summer ones we’re getting.
They obviously were really into the experiment enough to work it up and try it, and if they’d practiced more, who knows…
I just feel at least one should be released as a historical document…

Yes, 12/18 fo sure but number uno on the 73 hit parade should be the 2 Dane shows!

9 consecutive 73 shows

With the new box, Dave's 21 (4-2-73) and the PNW box (6-22, 24 and 26-73), this will be 9 consecutive dates released. Cool.

The horns shows aren't that great

The horns are actually distracting.
That said, I still listen to them, but don't necessarily need them officially released.
There are better shows from 73 that should come out first, like 12-18-73.

Dave & 73 box

I know what it's like to see these vinyl sets and groan at the prices (whether good or bad pricing).

But what irks me more is when I don't get the set, it sells out and I see the resale prices.

I didn't buy Veneta vinyl (wasn't Investing :-) in vinyl at that point). Now I see the box is 1200 bucks on ebay!!!!

Will it sell at that price,,,? who knows.

But anymore, screw it. My wife makes enough money (though she works 18 hour days). So while the funds are there I'm going for it.

Besides, the shelf looks good filled with all these box sets :-)

Synchronicity

Never heard the first three of the 73 box shows, but got tired of waiting, so listened to them this past week lol.
Have heard the other two, sorta, on an iPad at work years ago, so almost like I haven’t heard them yet lol.
Though I’m stoked and love 73 etc, the picky DH thinks the first six shows of 73 are far better than these!!
These shows are looonnnnggg, and they do have excellent jam sequences, but overall, I’d take the first six.
And only one DS : (
Ok, picky over ; )

Congrats PF, your team deserved it and we will now be rooting for the mighty XXXXXXXX!
AND,
GO XXXX GO!

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.

Yeah the “culture” time capsule is one of my favorite parts!
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.
