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.

The Caverns....

....I've read that the floor is flat and the stage is short, so if you are on the shorter side, it may be difficult to see the band.
I'm 6'4", so that's never a problem for me lol.
Go Knights Go!!

Rush - Ice Cream

I became a rush fan in the summer of 1977 when a friend of mine came home from military/private school up at Swanee TN, which is right close to the Caverns I just discussed. Yeah military school, all boys, uniform or business attire during the day, pot and mushrooms at night, not mushrooms for him, but for those that wanted.

So he encouraged me to buy 2112. Put on head phones and listened with a buzz. Changed my life in so many ways.

Was fortunate to see them on the Hemispheres Tour January 1979, then Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures, Signals twice (1982 and 1983, Nashville and Miami (Hollywood Sportatorium)), Grace Under Pressure, Power Windows, Roll the Bones, and Test for Echoes (Charlotte NC). Hemispheres was in my home town, all other shows except 2 mentioned were in Nashville at the old Municipal Auditorium. A great sounding 9000 capacity arena.

Also saw a couple of incredible Yes shows at Municipal. 1984 on the 90125 and 1988 on Big Generator. A couple of months back yall were discussing sound systems that could compete with GD. There was discussion of Pink Floyd, which is true, saw 2 stadium shows. But Yes always had top notch sound. In 84 and 88 we were dosed to the gills. The sound was densely thick, powerful and intense. In 1984, they had the best laser show I ever saw. They were using state of the art technology, called an imaging or 3d screen. It was hung from the ceiling about 80% to the back wall. As the lasers went thru the screen it all became like a 3d hologram. It was so intense. They did all sorts of patterns but at one point they were spelling out YES, and it was spinning above our heads in 3d. It was like the words YES were moving on a plane in a vertical 360 degree loop. At first, we freaked out, so high, as it looked like the YES was about to hit us in the head. The Big Generator, no 3d lasers, but was still I think musically, a better show.

OK enough of that.

I have seen several shows at the Caverns. It is about 50 miles from here. Family used to own mountain home retreat up that way. Beautiful country.

It is about 4 stories underground holds around 1200, standing room only. Is 59 degrees year round, so it can be chilly.

I have seen Govt. Mule there, and Blackberry Smoke, Dawes, STS 9, John Butler Trio, and Band of Horses. All very good shows, John Butler Trio was awesome.

Almost went to Flaming Lips, but couldn't work out the schedule...

Kinda Weird Thankin

Snoop Dogg is bringing his big troupe to town this fall. Tickets go on sale tomorrow, of course. Kind of like seeing Kid Rock, if I were to go it is totally for the party, the spectacle of it all. Crowd will be mostly honkies, like me. Although deep down south, our town fully integrated in 1955, so relations here are excellent. Dont believe stuff you hear on "news outlets." Not a huge fan of Snoop, but I do enjoy some of his funky grooves he lays down. If I buy a ticket, it will be the first moe ny I have sent to the Dogg. Well, except my cable bill.

Anniversary show 6/8/75. El Camino Park

48 years ago today, I was up at El Camino Park in Palo Alto to see a super cool show with Jerry Garcia, Merle Saunders & Kingfish. Small little park, the Dead played there in June 1967. My brother's friend made the poster for the show, you can see it online, just type in 6/8/75 Jerry Garcia and it should come up. Anyway, it was a blast!

A real dud ( not Tony)

I never liked David Bowie's " Young Americans". The 6 before that, from the one known as "Space Oddity" up to "Diamond Dogs" I thought were brilliant - one or the other would have been daily listening for me in my mid teens, and I still like them. But I still don't like "Young Americans". I liked the ones after, though, from "Station To Station" up to "Scary Monsters".

According to Michael Messer, maybe the main authority on slide guitar in Britain, Tony McPhee was the first Englishman to perform acoustic slide blues to any sort of audience, back in the early 1960's. His approach was different than every other blues guitarist I heard from this fair land. More John Lee Hooker and Son House inspired than the rest of the pack. Powerful and original.

Manassas

I seemed to have developed an obsession with Steve Stills Manassas. Not the yee haw country stuff but the rest is really excellent, up there with Gene Clark's No Other. I really couldn't stand it back in the 70s but with age I've learnt to love it.

I haven't been able to play Groundhog's Split since Tony McPhee left us. My wife's not in the best mood lately, it could tip her over the edge. It feels weird when your heroes from your teenage years die after a fall at home. I can't imagine Tony as an old man. Actually that's not true, he seemed somehow somewhere beyond all his contemporaries back then.

A Dud Among The Gold

Bill Foley, majority owner of the Vegas Golden Knights, is a billionaire businessman who grew up in Texas in a family that had been ranchers for generations. He spent time in Ottawa when his dad, a member of the U.S. Air Force, was stationed there. He picked up a love of hockey in those years in Canada. I therefore consider Mr Foley an honorary Canadian, and the Knights as Canada’s 8th franchise, much like George Martin was the 5th Beatles. Go Knights! See Jack - Canadaland is not out of this yet!

DaveRock- Great points. Every genre did seem to almost be a reaction to a previous one, and often with a touch of scorn, on the side.

Ok, I do have one Bill Frisell album I don’t like - at all. “Silent Comedy”, which is akin to Lou Reed’s Metal Machine Music, or Neil Young’s Arc, both which never should have seen the light of day. Produced by John Zorn, whose music is highly overrated, this one by Frisell is DOA, and I keep it only as a completist. Why in the world would anyone think it is ok to release such a piece of shit as these three albums. I had a friend in school who was apoplectic when Reed released Metal Machine Music, and I get it.
Does anyone have a band or performer they love who released something so out of left field, you wanted to use the thing for skeet shooting? “Pull!!!”

What a racket !

Many of the best rock bands annoyed the previous generation of fans - it was a positive sign of development to do so. And music changed at an exponential rate between say, 1965 and 1975. If you were into rhythm and blues, you could have been alienated by psychedelia, if you liked that - you could be thrown off by Sabbath or GFR, if you like that, by glam then by punk etc etc. If you understand any of those you can see the good and the not so good in each genre. If you don't understand it - it all sounds bad. Like hip hop does to me. Not understanding all we see - we aren't always qualified to judge.

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.

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.
