    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.

    arrived today. Listened to the bonus disc first then the full show.

    The audio quality continues to be outstanding. The show itself is solid, but I did not find it to be extraordinary. And I don’t care one bit that the songs are not all in the correct sequence. I prefer that to a long, continuous jam being chopped up.

    I am interested to hear what others think about the newspaper reviews that were included with this release. I felt it was an odd decision at first, but after listening to the show, I somewhat understand it.

    Mike - the Leafs are allowed a little slack after winning round one, but they already put themselves in a tough spot. The Panthers had a much tougher task beating the Bruins, but they remain hot. Gotta win game 2.

    Vguy - sorry brother, but we now part ways. Taking the Oilers in this series. Good luck though.

    I knew you would know this stuff Oro. In the list his first two basses he played with the GD are the ones listed as "location unknown". Big Brown is listed as in his collection. Nothing about any theft that I saw.
    Now that's a GD specific post. Oro shoots, he scores! Thanks.

    Phil’s Basses you say, I wish I had one lol.
    Actually, I wish I had the Alembic I have, but a five string with a variable rotary pickup selector instead of the four position switch, but I digress…

    Didn’t look at what all he may or may not have used in the early years, but in 69 they started working on a ridiculous mod to the Guild Starfire II, which upon completion, he started playing after spring of 71. In the meantime he was mostly using a modded Gibson EB 0. The Guild became known as The Godfather, or more commonly Big Brown.
    By the fall of 73 Mission Control was ready, and he eventually used both, often depending on if one was in the shop.
    I guess Big Brown had especially delicate circuitry.
    But he went back and forth with those until fall 79 when he switched to the Red looking Irwin that was like Jerry’s.
    Interestingly, JGs was fully custom, while the bass was one Doug had already. But he eventually didn’t like the sound of that and perhaps more importantly, it didn’t hang or balance right.
    I heard Jer never ended up sticking with any Alembic because of the balance?
    Then in 81, Phil starts using a rad 67 Fender Jazz bass briefly before switching to a G&L 2000 which he played until later 1982, at which time he switched almost exclusively to Modulus Graphite 6 strings.
    In late 89 he jumped again to Ken Smith BT 66s, while using a Frankensteined Modulus for midi, until having Smith modded MIDI basses for space etc. After that I’m not so sure…

    Funny 1stshow mentions Brownie Stolen?
    Phil mentions the 67 Jazz disappearing, but my understanding is he’s had, or at least has Big Brown.
    Mission Control was thought to be stolen, but ended up being “misplaced” in the Dead’s storage somewhere where until 1995 when they moved to new digs. But, supposedly it still was not know of, and ended up in a storage bin that the owner couldn’t afford, so went to salvage. Sounds familiar….?
    Can you even image opening some mysterious roadcase and finding THAT!!
    Since then a Shop picked it up and redid a few things and sold it to a collector who’s had Rick Turner, Irwin, Wickersham etc all do restorative work on it in 2020…
    There’s pictures and a brief write up on it in the cool book: Historical Axes: Guitars that Rock by Lisa S Johnson, which also includes the Pretzel Guitar!

    EDIT: there’s a couple cool pics of some of Phil’s basses on page 202 from 5/9/2000 in Jay Blakesberg’s Between the Dark and Light.
    Big Brownie is present, but no Mission Control.

    Big Brownie was the nickname given to me by a couple of pals when we were 10 or so. It comes from a Felix the Cat episode about a misunderstood bear. The name just stuck. At that time I was unaware of the Grateful Dead. On a side note, I DO make a mean batch of pot brownies.

    Looked them up. This is the one right before Mission Control.
    Also done by Alembic though and started as his red Starfire.
    Alembic stripped the red color off and modified it heavily.
    Started off with 12 knobs and eventually had 13 knobs.
    Called "Big Brown" and is currently in his collection.
    His first two are "location unknown". (Oro has it?)
    Figures that he would love messing with mods and new stuff.
    The inquisitive mind!

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.

I hope the next Dave's Pick is from 1968, 1969 or 1970, if not this one then the one after. I would also like to see 2/17/79, 9/11/81 , or 10/9/82 released.

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.

… I would love a physical release for Road Trips Full Show: Spectrum 11/5/79 from the Download series or at least release the complete download series on CD Format!

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.

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.
