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.

time passes slowly

it took time before i post my comment and it doesn't matter anyway. here it is...
@Alvarhanso Frankly, it’s a shame to edit 1000 vinyl copies of dicks picks 1 for the 30th anniversary of the Dicks picks serie? Latvala!!!!!!!!!!
@larrygate contact Marye or Warner bros they will solve the problem. It happened to me with the previous dave45 and they did.
@Dave Music is not always love at first ear, it took time for me to like and listen Lucinda Williams or Wilco, but now I am in. I still consider Europe 72 as a peak and nothing does match the recordings of these shows in the whole Dead collection. I agree for if it’s bad it must be good, like more & less, there is no duality.
Dave 46 is a good one; they could have done done better on the vocals on birdsong, but I am really happy with my double dose of 77, and this good show from 72.
I still wander how could they do such incredible recording? On the other hand I can’t explain why the rolling stones did all this craps live records. Except for Get yer yaya, stripped and maybe El Mocambo it ‘s far away from the studio albums like beggars, let it bleed, or Exile.

Ok 46 complete

Another amazing GD72 show

The articles that are in the packaging...unbelievable.

Music critics are musician wannabees. They have no talent so they rip on actual musicians.

God bless the Grateful Dead.

Yes, you in the back row (Oro)

Do you have a question?

Reminds me of the road signs in rural MO that were like the Burma Shave series.
You'd go for miles seeing these small signs on fenceposts that only had a big question mark on them. Then finally the big one advertising Mystery Cave.
Cheers

Only got through the bonus disc so far. Too much yard work!

Disc issues

Larryguate, I found it best to email Warner Music Group damagereport@wmgcustomerservice.com. It took a very long time for a response and then a resolution but it has always been taken care of for me. Give it a try.

If it's bad it must be good

Paradoxically, I have often been more attracted to things ( and people, for the matter) who are generally disregarded. One of the first Dead reviews I ever read, in music weekly the N.M.E. by Nick Kent, circa 1974, was basically a hatchet job devaluing what he thought of as their golden period, and dismissing their more recent output as evidence of burn out. Inadvertently perhaps, he made them sound fascinating. The names of the albums, "acid rock"...I thought I wouldn't mind trying some of that. It's a truism that when people are making judgements about something - or someone - they are actually talking about themselves to a large extent.

On the other hand, reviews that are unremittingly positive turn me off a bit. It feels that someone is trying to sell me something rather than indicate honestly what the thing in question is really like. It was what put me off listening to Dave's seaside talks a bit. Someone who is indiscriminately positive can seem a bit insincere to me.

So, in the spirit of the above, I am sorry to say I really enjoyed the first cd of Dave's 46. I like the way they inserted an extended version of "Bird Song" early in the first set during Fall 72. With one man down, they were clearly drifting away from the blues, and this set may lack the rock n' roll energy of Europe 72 - but it's moving into the smooth country jazz stylings to come. A great aperitif for the 73 box. Good "Tennessee Jed".

Any suggestions appreciated!

Too Many Notes!

Finally got around to reading the liner notes to DaP 46, wanting to see what was up with the 'negative review' that people have mentioned. I kind of like that it's in there, even though the guy makes an ass of himself, complaining that the Dead didn't play the "boogie music" he expected. It's always good to be reminded that a lot of stuff that's now considered classic and beyond criticism was not well received or even remotely understood by audiences and critics at the time it was made.

Want a good laugh? Go back and read the scathing reviews of concerts Beethoven gave during his lifetime. There are similarly clueless reviews of Stravinsky, Coltrane, the Beatles, you name it. In every case, people came to the concert expecting something familiar, and instead heard something they had never heard before, and weren't ready for. But nobody remembers those critics anymore (what was this guy's name? Steve Bozobo? wonder what happened to him?) and the music lives on.

Anybody manage to grab a copy of the DiP 1 vinyl that was on sale for about two minutes this morning from Real Gone? It evidently sold out in about an hour, and I missed out. Normally, I wouldn't have been that interested, because (as some might recall) I try to stick to my "no double dipping" rule and don't buy vinyl if I already have a perfectly good sounding CD of the music. But in this case, the vinyl supposedly restores some material that was edited out of the CD issue. So I'm really kind of bummed I missed it. Hope some of yall grabbed and can tell us what the restored material is like.

Last five, because why not?

Little Feat: Transmission Impossible
Zappa: Make a Jazz Noise Here
Coltrane: Meditations
Sun Ra: Cosmic Sounds for Mental Therapy
Funkadelic: Uncle Jam Wants You

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.

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.
