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.

#47 Unavailable

#47 is unavailable because it hasn’t been released yet. Unless the PTB have changed their policy the DaP’s are not available for pre-order once the subscription window has closed. This change came in a few years ago. The seaside chat should appear very close to the release date so that Dave can remind everyone to go over to the website and order quickly to avoid disappointment. It is odd that some details have already surfaced on the store page.

Edit They must have changed their minds! It can now be ordered. Perhaps the failure to sell out 45 and 46 has had an effect.

But...

It's showing 47 as currently unavailable? (Only 11 days until release date.)
As is RFK 4CD, or is that sold out, nah, not limited. Pulled it until issues resolved?
Give 'em time. They'll get their stuff together eventually, lol.

*re/ “Firstshow” & 1979 Pick!

I truly believe you won’t have to worry, it’s gonna be a grateful release in the Dave’s Picks! You don’t be disappointed! It’s an amazing performance! gratefully so because what made the band really playing Heavy Grateful Dead from 79’ & hear how the band formed a unity of unstoppable influences from all the band members playing off each other collectively like clock “floating in outer space space” ! Like a ‘Dark Star’! ;)
Keep on truck’n my brother and sister’s! Peace be with you all!
Let’s go 1979!

Is Dave on strike?

OK that's not meant to be a political statement, just having fun. Hollywood Dave avoiding the camera for 47? Will we get an AI Dave?? DaveRock, will not bang the drum here, not the place as I so appreciate emphasis on our shared music interests and adventures. Just part of the umwelt developed from way back, child of the 60s, The Whole Earth Catalog cover of the earth from space, Rex Foundation etc. Heard the comment recently we should call this planet Ocean, not earth for obvious reasons. First Ocean from the Sun, referencing Jimi, since the first two have no liquid, we are goldilocks but for how long?

79 may not be so bad

DMCVT- good to read about you driving an electric car. There is a lot I could do to maybe help make things better.. it's gradually beginning to sink in that changes need to be made - and by the likes of me, not just politicians. I hardly drive at all now - about 2 miles a week, which I like to think is beneficial for me, one and all.

Maybe I was a bit harsh about the new Dave's, if it does prove to be from 12/79. I have always liked both 12/26 and 12/28. And I have been spoiled with releases I like so far this year.

Anchor Steam (and petition)

Read this morning that the Christmas beer was done before the shut down and will be available. No mention of whether that was kegs or bottles. Article mentioned that part of their demise was that they were tied more to pubs than stores and the pandemic hit that mix hard and fast. They couldn't adapt quick enough to switch distribution on that scale.
Cheers
Beers that I remember that may not still be around:
- Acme, from S.F., CA and had the best graphic art ever on the can.
- Henry Weinhardt (sp?), was that an upscale from one of the bigger Northwest mega-brewers?
- Erlanger, a Shlitz premium?
- Heilmann's, another cheapo from the brew belt upper mid-west. My G-ma held some corporate stock in that company.
- Blatz, one of the worst ever but oh so cheap for a broke college student. Local Ace liquors in Ft. Collins in 1977 was selling this, I kid you not, for $3.99 a case! The deposit on the case of bottles was more than the beer at $5.00, lol.
Got any fallen flag favorites?

Edit: change dot org has a petition up to save Anchor from Sapporo's shut down. They seem to be hoping a rich Californian or group will save them.

47

Hey, hope I’m wrong and it’s a blazer, I’m just feeling weird about this one, and if I’m unfortunately correct, it’s going to conjure more speculation AND, WMG IS a corporation, so bad decisions have been based on less.
And I dig years like 79, so 2 dogs in a row could again, lead the corporate deciders to put the Kibosh on the year if it doesn’t sell out…
Again, just thinking out loud, sorry to seem negative etc. Truly hope I’m wrong!

I bet we’ll get the official drop mañana, unless their gonna hold off because of UPS strike, or all the box fuckery, or something?

out on a limb? behavior modification...

It is a bit odd that we do not yet have Dave's seaside chat telling us about #47, the how and why since we know the what and when. Dave's started off with 12K edition iirc, makes sense that WMG/Rhino would keep increasing editions over the years until they did not sell out quickly. If they trim back from 25K next year, won't be much, they already have an idea how much inventory they might want to carry and for how long. Sure, maybe they're second guessing themselves now that HCS sold out quick enough, but doing the math, 10K CD sets and who knows how many downloads, things are solid. DaveRock, can only agree, roughly 75% of all my miles driven are electric, share in a solar farm.

Diversity in Dave's picks

We all focus on the diversity of era's when Dave makes these picks, and rightly so. ('68, '82, '85, '88, '91 anyone?). But I also think he likes to throw in lesser known/distributed shows as well. It cannot be all big ones that circulated widely.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love 3/18/67 or 10/30/68 or 7/18/76 or 9/6/80. Or a full release of runs where we only have partials for the most part (2/13/70, 2/14/70, 4/28/71, 4/29/71, 6/26&28/74, 10/19/74, 10/20/74, Alpine '89, MSG '90, etc). But discovering new stuff is part of the fun. For me at least. Hopefully this is a hidden gem.

I do worry that with the last two not selling out (yet), it does not bode well for things going forward. And it might be time to start leaning heavily into the big boys while we still can. But those decisions have likely been made for 47 & 48 before the non-sellout streak started. I think next year would be the soonest a shift could occur.

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.

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?....

....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.
