    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.

    21 is over the hill

    Crow-your comments on Rolling Stone reminded me of when I was 15 and started buying records, going to gigs..and reading the music press. N.M.E. to be precise. I was surprised to read that nearly all the bands I liked were routinely dismissed - T.Rex, David Bowie, Hawkwind, Black Sabbath - all a pale imitation of what had gone before, apparently. Being 15 I had no idea what had gone before - and in the heat of the moment it didn't much matter.

    It seemed to me that the people who wrote this stuff were at least 5-6 years older than me. They were writing about music aimed at teenagers from the point of view of someone in their mid 20's. So although they assumed they had their fingers on the pulse, they were actually a bit out of touch. People who assume to represent the views of others often are.

    By way of comparison, in ‘92, my wife and I were driving by the Forum in LA, and Gretzky and the Kings were hosting Edmonton for a playoff game that night. On a whim we went to the box office for tix, thinking no way. No problem, seating chart pulled out (before any on-screen purchasing), and we picked up decent tix at face value. Fast forward to this year, my youngest goes to a lot of games, tried for First Round tix here, and he told me it was “Taylor Swiftish”, really exorbitant pricing (I think he said extortion pricing), and resale on the secondary market was crazy. Getting tix for hockey here is so insane, that when my kids were little, the first game I took them too was in Ottawa. I couldn’t get decent tix for four in TO without signing a mortgage to get them. He was in Vegas for his stag last month, wanted to get Knight tix for the playoffs, timing was just off.
    PS - Jack, that particular Leaf “loss” is local lore here, a true case of bad refereeing by Kerry Fraser, who is persona non grata here. Gretzky blatantly high sticked Doug Gilmour, ensuing power play gave the Kings the game.

    Back in 1993, The Leafs were hosting the LA Kings, with Gretzky, in game seven of the conference finals. My brother and I decided to drive up to see if we could get tickets. Scalpers were asking $900 per ticket right before game time. 900 Fkin dollars! Granted, it’s Toronto. But, that was the conference finals not the Stanley Cup finals. And it was before StubHub, or any other similar online service that drives up ticket prices. So we did just what Mike said. Went across the street to the local pub, partied our asses off, had a blast with the locals and woke up $700 or so less in debt. One of the best hockey experiences I’ve ever had. And yeah, the Leafs lost.

    If $600 Was $900

    I get prices rise the further the team advances, that’s dynamic pricing, and they are smart to do it while the demand is there. Plus, there is something to be said for “being there”. Anyone that has been to a live concert, a sporting event, etc, knows the excitement, the electricity of it. But the clinching games will likely be starting at $900. (Jimi’s If 6 Was 9).
    But $600 buys a LOT of music. And $900 buys MORE…

    I am kind of low key fascinated with reading old copies of Rolling Stone. It's especially fun to read reviews of albums and performances they initially panned but which later became recognized as total classics by pretty much everyone, including Rolling Stone themselves. The panned the great debut albums by Jimi, Zeppelin, and Sabbath, the Stones' Exile, Nirvana's Nevermind, Neil Young's Harvest, and lots of other examples of the best music ever recorded. And, in most cases, they eventually backtracked and listed those albums on their lists of all time bests.

    They loved the Dead in the early days, kind of turned against them for a while in the late '70s-early '80s, and then jumped back on the bandwagon for the Touch of Grey years, IIRC. Whatever. I change my mind all the time, too.

    Hendrix songs? Sheesh, almost all of it is great so it's hard to pick favorites but just for the heck:

    Manic Depression: bone crushing riff and man, I related to the lyrics when it first came out: "I know what I want but I just don't know ... how to go about gettin it."

    Purple Haze: this one is so obvious no one ever lists it, but seriously. That riff? Scuse me while I kiss the sky screaming out my 12-year-old self's transistor radio? When I first heard this one, it sounded like the saucers had landed, our new reptilian overlords were walking among us and the world would never be the same. And some of that turned out to be true.

    1983/Merman: still leaves me speechless. Incredibly imaginative fantasy, beautiful playing.

    Axis: love the lyrics and vocal, spent many an hour trying to learn that amazing solo at the end.

    Who Knows: had to pick at least one Band of Gypsys track, and I always thought this one was really under-rated. What a groove!

    Feeling a little low. The wife got Covid, again, and though I'm testing negative I still feel like shite. I'm-a put on some Jimi and power through.

    Blue are the life-giving waters, taken for granted,
    They quietly understand.

    Rolling Stone Article -Springers Inn

    That was one of the first things I ever read about The Dead - before I had heard a note of their music. It was in a book called "The Rolling Stone Rock N' Roll Reader". Printed in 1974, I've still got it - a great piece of writing. It made the band and their scene sound amazing, and I couldn't wait to jump in. Even the titles of the albums- Aoxomoxoa, Anthem of the Sun - very exotic.

    Great show! Time for an official release on this one. This show was part of a great story by Rolling Stone on the Grateful Dead in 1969, with Garcia on the cover. If you haven't read it, its well worth checking out.

The complete Winter land Oct 1974 run audio & video, would be gone in a flash! Any 1970 box set that included acoustic material, would vanish! I think they could put out 15,000 units and would have no problem selling out very quickly.

… some sad news which I wish I didn’t have to post, but my dear old friend, artist, Stanley mouse, suffered a stroke last week. He has lost the ability to use his hands to create any more art work. It’s going to take a long time with intense medical therapy. We are all praying for a positive recovery from this unfortunate illness tragedy. I ask all our brothers and sisters here on the farm to Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers and positive vibes for a speedy healthy recovery for our dear brother Stanley mouse. Stanley mouse is the infamous artist responsible for many of Grateful Dead’s “Art Of The Grateful” since the beginning of the band’s career and through out their entire career to date. Thank you everyone.
Have a grateful holiday weekend my brothers and sisters wishing all a rock’n time! Peace be with you

I find this quite incredible, but it's true. Not really sure what's in it for either party, but so what. Forest Green are in the 4th tier of English football and are, by remarkable coincidence, the nearest club, in the top four tiers, to where I live. Obviously I need to go along and watch a game. If you search on Forest Green Rovers Grateful Dead you can see the stuff.

Last year the announcement for the corresponding pick started hitting feeds on July 12/13. So if this year is the same, we only need wait a week to hear the details of DaP 47.

Teamsters from UPS are threatening to go on strike August 1st. This story is not gaining any traction in the media…….YET……..I guess because today is only July 5th. If you read the news though, talks between the Teamsters and UPS collapsed last night, making a strike more likely.
Folks, this doesn’t bode well for us receiving our Dave’s 47 anywhere near on time if at all. Please join me in trying to implore TPTB at dead.net to ship Dave’s 47 either very early, or to use FedEx, or straight USPS this go around. This is not a political rant, this is common sense that should there be a strike, all shipments will cease in place, and that would really suck. I, myself am really hoping that the two sides work out their differences on time, but I’m not holding my breath. The last time UPS walked out, it lasted 15 days. Can you imagine your Cds sitting in Butner or Urbancrest for 15 days? That would suck. Dead.net, pay attention to the news!!!

am with this, totally. They are post-production on it now. WMG, get out ahead of this. PLEASE continue to use post consumer/recycled safe and sound means of protecting discs, not jammed into cardboard sleeves bound by glue that sticks to media.

OK I admit it, I'm a completist collecting these wonderful releases. So Nugs had a 4th of July 25% discount sale site wide, and I scooped up the three download series releases I didn't have. The sale ends tonight I understand.

They aren't bad, some of those tee shirts. I wouldn't mind the one with the lightning bolt on the back. As ever, I would want with long sleeves though - I have the kind of arms that suggest I haven't done a lick of work in my life. I have - but it was all in the mind , what I did.

....I also have thin arms. And long.
Funny thing about that, I'm not a fan of long sleeves. They rarely reach my wrists after a wash.
However, I am asked by shorter shoppers to help them reach the stuff on top shelves from time to time.
I also earn my living with my mind.
It's a terrible thing to waste if you let it.
Speaking of Waste, it's a really good Phish tune.

Although I've never been a big fan of Mail Innovations, I've had an absolutely awful time getting my Dave's Picks 46. In fact, I *still* do not have it. Both times (yes, I managed to get a replacement sent) my package reached the closest regional UPS hub; both times the tracking info said it was being transferred to USPS; both times it went no farther. I contacted UPS both times. The first time they said the package was lost, the second time they said it had been given to USPS. USPS says they never received either package. Not the innovations I'd hoped for.

Idk... can lightning strike twice? Or did both of my packages get swiped?

It's been a frustrating enough experience that I feel like it would be irrational to resubscribe, so I guess after 7 years of subbing I will now have to become an a la carte buyer. On that note, if I do that, does anyone know if I can upgrade my shipping for a single DaP? At this point I'd probably pay a decent amount for an option that's going to... no pun intended... actually deliver.

Appreciate the sympathy, Proudfoot! Ya know, one reason I feel a certain equanimity is bc I know I've done everything I could. Our own Marye has fielded my DMs repeatedly (thanks, friend!) and then a week ago in desperation I finally reached to Mr. Dave Lemieux himself. And Dave responded! And he said he'd do what he could to help. Just a few hours later, I had an email from a person at Warner Music, offering me a refund, and a copy of DaP46 shipped two-day.

Now, with that said, it's a week later, and I don't have either. But I have to trust at this point. (edit: I stand corrected. The refund from Warner Music Group has hit my credit card. Thanks, Warner!)

For the future, though, I think Rhino needs to take a strong look at fulfillment. It's not just me; look how many folks have posted here this year saying they have a problem with their order, but they can't even get someone to reply to their emails, usually multiple emails. That's just not ok, period. Furthermore, this may not be popular to say, but I think the price point for a Dave's sub may be too low. Having to ship 4 CD packs per year is what is driving them to find the very cheapest option ("Mail Innovations") and obviously that service sucks. Alternatively, keep current price but give a "+" option that lets you buy up to a shipping method that doesn't suck.

Last night's show was, as Forrest Gump would have said was, "like a box of chocolates...you never know what you're going to get". I don't know what was more fun: the church-like Mr. Soul>Mother Earth on the pump organ, or when somebody yelled "play 'Old Man'", and Neil responded, "ASSHOLE!". We did get an "Ohio" and a "Heart of Gold", and all around, the theme of LOVE shined through.

… from the old banner from Dave, I’d want -1/15/79 Springfield released! Love my 1979! Stay Alive! I would love an early release like 68’-71but I don’t think it will be a 69’ release because of the release of Dave’s Picks #44 being from 69’ not to long ago. Always love 70-71 era. So many dusky jewels waiting to be picked for a future release.
As for an 80’s pick anything from 80-82 gets my bones a shaking! I Love My Acoustic Dead! The music & performances Move me! Would also love a 1985 performance! Oh yeah, that would be primo! As for a90’s era performance I could see a show from 91’ definitely being a pick! But honestly, I haven’t disliked a single Dave’s Picks to date/yet! I love experiencing all Shows & eras from the Grateful Dead! I have faith in both Dave & the Band to deliver the ‘good Ol Grateful Dead’s’ magic for years to come! Have a grateful day everyone! Rock on! 🙏❤️💀🌹

I find that list fascinating. Like of all dates in May '77: why 5/18? I know it has that amazing Eyes but I always think of it as one of the 'off' nights in an otherwise fiery hot month. Or for '80, I'd have thought to see an Alaska show date. And just one date in all of 1990?

....pretty much a one off. The shows before were a week prior at The Frost. Show after were five weeks later in Jamaica.
I mentioned this years ago on this site. I'm a big fan of all three of them.

Yep, some major flooding here, video from spots nearby shown on national news. Let the mopping begin... thank goodness for the sump pump and power remaining on. On a big hill, but next to a pond, so when there's that much rain streaming down, things get very wet. People who live in valleys along rivers have it worse, some rivers have yet crested.

EDIT: those Sante Fe shows are quite nice!

Looking at video and stills from all over VT and upstate NY, many folks near water courses had to evacuate their homes, doing OK here. Good thing just 4-5 inches, a few spots had 8-9. Being near a large pond, not much above water table, not my first rodeo. Bucket brigade now done, dehumidifier cranked. Full speed ahead with HCS.

Holy Noah's Flood batman, that's some seriously heavy rainfall.

Wishing all those affected as safe and damage free tomorrow as possible.

Wow.

Serious stuff as video clips will show, its been bumped up to one of the worst floods ever on record, shy of the grand daddy flood of 1927. Full extent of damage will take another day or two, good news so far, no loss of life.
