    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.

    Last Five....

    ....because it's been a minute.
    Black Sabbath - Vol 4. (current, because I was just reminded)
    TOOL - Fear Inoculum
    King Gizzard - L.W.
    George Harrison - Dark Horse
    MercyMe - Almost There (Christian band. I like them).
    King Gizzard - Gumboot Soup
    The Gizz is dropping a new record in a week.
    Super Duper into them currently.
    They just finished a run of shows at The Caverns in TN. Venue looks cool. Any of you been there?
    Anyways. They played one of those shows in drag. Because, you know, drag queens are a hot topic to some not so smart people. Especially in TN and MT it seems. Vague laws are suspect to me.
    And I was raised on glam metal.
    But some judges are standing up and calling them unconstitutional. Yet, the cow is out of the barn, so too late to backpedal.
    Rock on. And if dudes in dresses, makeup and glitter gets you all riled up, you really need to re-center your compass and focus on more important things and stop trying to be America's babysitters. The kids are going to be alright. Thanks.
    Minor rant over.

    Just for the record, I said the Groundhogs were a great band with a great guitarist.
    Greatness is in the ears of the beholder I suppose. I did LOVE GFR as a kid becoming a teenager, and love listening occasionally, even today. Would never consider them a great band, but they filled a big hole for me when the Beatles broke up, along with Led Zep, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple.

    It’s the anniversary.

    A band that rocks and is not from the U.S or Britain:

    RUSH

    Full disclosure: I like Rush songs up to the mid-80’s or so, then lost interest in new songs, but saw them live 3 times (90, 91, 94) and had a great time each time.
    If you can find the Rush 6 Blu-ray Box it is awesome.

    Hey Gary / 1982 Greek

    Hey Gary, 1982 Greek was a blast, hopefully we will get a box set from the Greek Theatre . Nappy was also there, and Im sure allot of other folks who post here were. I feel very lucky to have been around at a time when I could hear Jerry Garcia and the Dead. Also musicians like, B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Albert Collins, Bill Monroe, Ralph Stanley, Merle Haggard, and on and on and on.

    Best of the West

    American rock n' roll and blues from the 1950's - starting with Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker in the late 1940's, up until..the British invasion of about 1963. It never grows old.

    American Bands

    Years ago in Vail at a Kid Rock concert (note: I do not agree with his politics, but he throws a hell of a party), Detroit native Bobby Ritchie covers, among others, ZZ Top's "Tush" as well as GF's "We're An American Band."

    Rock has at least one woman in his band, his drummer, and when the whole ensemble got to the chorus, they sang, "We're an American band.... we're an American band... we're coming to your town, we'll pull your panties down, we're an American band!"

    It was the fucking coolest. Now I am married and I'm no misogynist, and I find a party anthem like that to be awesome. The song is from the 70s, and there were a lot of panties being pulled down (willingly) by traveling bands. Alas, different times.

    Personally I find the British royalty of bands to be superior to the Yanks in an overall matchup. I mean, you cannot beat the Beatles, Stones, Deep Purple, Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd by any measure. And that's leaving out The Who!

    The best of the west would have to be Aerosmith, ZZ Top, Van Halen, the Doors, Tom Petty, and possibly Guns N' Roses. I suppose one could stand up for the good ol' Grateful Dead as well... but they are just such their own thing they almost defy classification.

    All good. Turn it up!

    Haha, Molly Hatchet, saw them in 1979.

    First song in the cassette deck when I got it installed in the 1968 lifted Jeep Pick-Up, Blackfoot's Train Train.

    Never thought in a million years I would be posting that or that I would see a reference to Grand Funk or especially, Molly Hatchet. I think it was Blackfoot opening for Molly Hatchet seems like fall of 79, or spring of 80. Of course, there was also 38 special which played here around, and at the same time was the Rock n Roll Marathon with Angel, Mother's Finest, Humble Pie, and Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush. It was a hellofa party, but as a concert it was slightly above average. Should have been called Drugs n Roll Marathon.

    I too am remembering things that did not happen. About to interview a gentleman that just stepped down from a major tier 1 Hospital, and when talking about it with on the phone, I asked, "didn't you say a few years back that if we do not get health insurance right, even this hospital would be closed in 10 years." He said, "I never said that."

    Now I am researching local news to see if I can find the quote.

    Yeah, my life is pretty boring sometimes.

    But hey, it is 420 somewhere

    re/ 2023 Dave’s Picks series & 1979

    … I’m getting Ready for the next 1979 Dave Picks!!! I Love Dave’s Pick #31. Primo performance and Audio Quality! The only 79’ pick in the series.
    Anyone else want another 79’ Primo Performance to be released in the series???
    More importantly a 79’ Boxset will be fantastic!! ;)
    I can list some primo concerts, some incredible arrangements during certain songs,concerts and the band’s members beautiful playing skills& how they performed with each other as a unit. And also the main reason for celebration is “Brent joined the band full time with Keith and Donna gone. I whole new creation acured due to Brent becoming of the ‘Unit’ , team player & grand force as time went by until the band and Brent turned full circle because they found themselves & created a new sound , and further more an example of how the dead made music! Ahh I’m rabble, forgive me. Have a grateful day everyone and peace be with you All! & don’t forget to “smile smile smile”!!!
    Be safe be kind and celebrate life with the music of the grateful dead as a soundtrack to your life. With your ups and downs you’ll never be left down! Keep on truck’n! 1979 Dead Primo! ❤️💀🌹🙏
    … Anyone else believe,Want and think it’s Time-for Another “New Years” Performance Release?’?! Ido! Will do, time will tell ;) Listening to 9/2/79 ! WOW! Another primo concert and performance by the entire band members. Bobs vocals are kicking & Jerry is so intense and in very FINE Vocals & primo guitar.playing! he sucks you in for a far out experience & fide as Brent is right there beside him! They are both tuned into each other! Beautiful! The whole band is on the money! Rock on!

    Hey Billy

    While I my head is on right, temporary, I wanted to say how much those 82 Greek shows mean to me. Can only imagine being there. Sure hope there are Greek & Ventura shows released sometime soon.

    Also, Are you a pro football or college football fan or both?

    We have some awesome barbq around here; you know, south of the Manson-Nixon line. Probably some responsibility for my poor circulation. Over the years beef brisket has supplanted pork for me with great chicken being next. My family has an old chicken sauce that I love using when I put chickens on the ole Weber grill. Planning on doing that on Friday as it is most likely the last time we will be in the 50's for lows until fall. We have had the best spring ever. Usually by now, we are consistently in the mid 90's with lows approaching low 70's every night. By August lows are consistently in upper 70's with oppressive humidity. People wonder why I love fall and spring so much. Nothing like living close to the great bathtub below. Sure hope the gulf is only slowly heating up.

    Are You Ready?

    Grand Funk often seemed to be lumped in with Black Sabbath in the British press and written off as being rubbish in the same way. But like I said a few weeks ago, the music press in the 70's were often about 5 years out of date - I liked Sabbath, and I assumed I would Grand Funk, too. But apart from two singles "We're An American Band " and "Locomotion". I never heard anything by them. Even then, I knew these couldn't be representative. Not having infinite funds I never got round to buying an album by them.
    Until about 6 years ago, when I was 60. I got the box set "A Trunk of Funk" which consists of their first 6 albums. Taken on their own terms, which is the only way of evaluating a band, I thought they were great. A lot more soulful than I was expecting with a great drum and bass sound. Nothing remotely like Black Sabbath. If there was an British equivalent, I would say it was Humble Pie - but to me Grand Funk were better at what they did.
    That's a disappointing comment from Phil, dissing the band on that official release. You wouldn't really expect him to like them - I shouldn't think he liked Iggy and The Stooges either. But to diss a much younger band when you are on stage is never a good look.

Last Five material.

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.

If you want a good laugh, watch Phish shreds IT on you toob.

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.

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.

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.
