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.

Blessed are the Cheesemakers

And blessed be they who drop a Python reference, which causeth the morning coffee to spill forth from my very mouth, such laughter it bringeth.

And blessed be the Mahavishnu fans, who remindeth me of that cool Live in SF album I haven't played in a while.

And blessed be the Five Peace Band Live album, with McLaughlin, Correa, Kenny Garrett, Christian McBride, and Vinnie Colaluta, which is similar and very very good as you would expect with such cats involved.

And blessed be the auto correct, which geteth not jokes.

And blessed be the shipping notice, which arriveth yesterday, and whose meaning is known only to Jehovah.

(Uh oh. Not supposed to say Jehovah.) (D'oh!)

The music collection is a tsunami.......

Talk about listening habits, I typically listen to each GD release (those I buy or were gifted) and put it on the shelf, with the intent to hear it again for the "first" time sometime later. This usually works. But as the releases have soared -- basically five shows per year via the DP series, another six in a box, that's ~one show per month, like compound interest I'm getting buried. At this point, if I don't start listening rather aggressively, I'm a goner. Yet one needs to listen to lots of completely new artists and music or your brain becomes a brokedown juke box.

Yeah, changing my moniker to "Brokedown Juke Box." Man, this coffee is good, and so is the sip of tequila I had before it.

daverock -- at Watkins Glen, at age 15, we were already seasoned GD veterans, and two days of big shows took their toll. When it was time for the Big Jam, we walked away. And, from reports, we didn't miss anything! The Band, the ABB and the GD onstage together? Guess they'd reached their limits as well by that time. The daytime shows probably merit release. The nighttime jams, no so much, eh?

He was in Aquarium Rescue Unit along with Col. Bruce Hampton, Oteil Burbridge (bass player for Dead & Co), and a few others.

I saw ARU in 2015, here’s some video.

Weather Update / John McLaughlin / Mahavishnu Orchestra

The discussion had me remembering a show with this billing I saw in Ft. Collins, Co 9-20-86. New acoustically near perfect town sponsored concert hall. ($14.50 ticket) Weather Update was between Weather Report and Zawinul Syndicate for about two years. Wayne Shorter, out on his own supporting his solo album, did not let Joe use the W.R. name and gave him only 5 weeks notice that he wouldn't be coming back. So guitarist Steve Khan filled that spot. Wonderful group but Kahn later said he felt out-classed by opening for McLaughlin and the Orchestra. I think J.M. did some solo tunes then the whole Orchestra came out. Lots of the Birds of Fire as I recall. Later the Zawinul Syndicate would, according to at least one review, "wipe the floor with the Mahavishnu Orchestra". Even the billing reversed with Zawinul Syndicate as the headliner. Not sure who was in the later Syndicate but Zawinul just got better and better.
Sorry, couldn't tie in a GD reference. Jon Fishman, of a band with a name similar to his own, cites the Mahavishnu Orchestra as an influence. The wiki page on the Orchestra is a who's who and who they played with and remarkably quite a shitshow history of personal differences. And so it goes.

Shipping/Warmer Electric

Received my notification yesterday. They definitely changed the format of these notifications. Mine was just a USPS number and that was it. A noticed the Warmer Electric address was listed as New York. Did they move out of California?
This release hasn't sold out either, so I think this really is becoming the norm regardless of release year.

Peaceful man

It's never too early to speculate about future releases.

85 is tasty, but if 77 didnt sell out (or did it?) 85 will prolly be ignored.

But again...they never ask me.

My GD shelves are mighty full so I am in no rush, but 47...48...speculate away.

I say a whole lotta GD 68 and 69 for 4 straight releases.

John and Jimmy Meeting of the Spirits, Where is Bolo?

Lucky to get over to The Egg in Albany for MacLaughlin's reputed farewell tour fall 2017. One of the more unusual venues. Long time fan of John's music, saw Mahavishnu Orchestra at American University April 1973, with camera, good photos, down front of that outdoor show under a tent. Billy Cobham drumming was a physical experience. That was just after my first Dead show at the Baltimore Civic Center.

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.

Looking forward to a another binge soon!
Keep ‘em coming brother…

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.
