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.

OT

Remember 2013 Cup finals 3 OT win Game 1 Blackhawks over Bruins. What a hard fought game. Hawks rallied from2 down in 3rd to send it to OT. I was working out of Gallup and pacing around the motel parking lot between periods. Game 6 had one of the greatest moments in Hawks history as they scored 2 goals in 17 seconds at Boston in last minute and change of 3rd to win game 3-2 and take "Lord Stanley back to the Windy City." I occasionally still listen to the last 2 minutes of the radio call synched with the tv feed on the usetoobs cause its one fun memory.

No way I could make it to the end of that one. Glad the way it turned out. Too bad that Florida had to win twice.

Brent Burns was spent and didn't cover Tkachuk. You could see his frustration immediately. Having to play two games in one night is going to impact this series. The younger legs will prevail.

Good luck tonight Vguy.

Bruce Cockburn on meeting Garcia and discussing Waiting for a Miracle:

But he said “oh man, beautiful song, I hope I didn’t screw the lyrics up too much.” I said “actually I was going to wait until the second time I met you before I brought that up.”

Cockburn On Vinyl

VGuy - Yes, both of Cockburn’s recent releases are on vinyl. Check out Crowing Ignites on U Toob - it really is great instrumental acoustic guitar work.
PS - The Cowboy Junkies have a new release coming June 2.
Also, another band in the same vein as Bruce Cockburn and the Junkies I like are The Skydiggers. Not well known, but a great discography, and they put on a decent show. My personal favourite is Just Over This Mountain.

No crowing of any roosters in Raleigh this morning. Four overtimes!!

Length of cds

I've noticed that some cds released by Bear Family are well over 80 minutes long. The sound quality doesn't seem to suffer in the slightest - in fact they sound great. Curious, though, that they seem to be the only label that I know of who produce cds extending past the 80 minute mark.

I must say I am well impressed with Dave's 46. I'm not automatically turned on by Fall 1972 - the one in 30 Trips, 9/24/72 has never done much for me - but this one is great. I often find myself focussing on Bob's playing during this period, and this show is no exception. He is quite loud in the mix, and his sound, style, what he plays..really good. With the 3rd cd I tend to forget about who is doing what and just let the whole wash over me and take me where it will.
All sorts of reasons why they aren't selling out - but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the quality of the shows on offer, going off this one.

I wonder what impact the archive has on sales now? The relationship between these shows, and those released may have changed in recent years. Maybe some people feel the have bought enough, and are now quite happy to access shows online for free instead. I don't listen to them myself, but I notice they are reviewed and referenced on here quite often.

Some more good live Stones

Sheik - are you not so keen on those early 70's live Stones albums then? Two of them are hidden away in box sets - Leeds University 3/13/71 and Brussels 10/17/73 - Brussels Affair as it's commonly known. That 73 one is my favourite live Stones album of them all, but I think you can only here it now via The Goats Head Soup box set. Similarly the Leeds 71 show in the Sticky Fingers box. With that one there are also 4-5 songs from another show on the tour at The Roundhouse. Top stuff!
There's also a dvd from 1972 - "Ladies and Gentlemen - The Rolling Stones" from America 1972. There's a cd of that, but I prefer the film-seeing them in all their pomp and glory.

I still haven't heard that El Mocambo show - but it's on my to do list.

"Bridges To Beunos Aries" is from 1998... so.... but the dvd/blu ray features one of the best versions of "Jumpin' Jack Flash" I have ever heard/seen in my life. It has to be seen really- the Argentinian fans going absolutely crazy. They are like that for the whole show - but that song nearly causes a riot! Watch a clip of it on youtube and feel 10 years younger. Make that 20.

Excuse me if this has been talked about but...

I really don't understand why this show was cut up like it was...Disc 2 has the end of the 1st Set...all the music fits on one disc with a slight over burn, if an over burn can't be done then start the 2nd disc with JBG...the 2nd disc has the 1st set ending and then the 1st part of the second set and then the third part of the 2nd set...the 3rd disc is the middle of the 2nd set....if you start the 2nd disc with China/Rider and go to drums, a slight faded drum outrro at the end of the 2nd disc with a faded intro of drums to the end of the show....Having fades in and out of drums doesn't bother me in the least

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.

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.
