Who's ready to boogie with a little Brent-era Grateful Dead from the Gateway to the West? DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 47 features the complete unreleased show from Kiel Auditorium, St. Louis, MO, 12/9/79 and you're going to need stamina because this one is high energy from start to finish.

By the time December 1979 rolled around, Brent Mydland had fully cemented his place in the Grateful Dead canon with his twinkling keys, harmonic tenor, and songwriting skills. No more is that evident than at this show boasting 25 songs including soon-to-be classics from GO TO HEAVEN like "Alabama Getaway," "Don't Ease Me In," "Lost Sailor," and the Brent-penned "Easy To Love You." It's also packed with whirling takes on fan-favorites like "Brown-Eyed Women," "Shakedown Street," and "Terrapin Station." And you've never heard a 2nd set quite like this with eight songs before "Drums" including an improvised "Jam" launching from the end of "Saint Of Circumstance." It doesn't stop there though, with a blazing finale of "Bertha>Good Lovin'" and perhaps one of the best versions of "Don't Ease Me In" the band ever did play. We've rounded out Disc Three with an extra nugget from '79.

Limited to 25,000 numbered copies, this release was recorded by Dan Healy and has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering. Grab a copy while you can.

JGB and The Dead

Doing...I got the impression that somewhere along the line, for Jerry, The Dead became a job and the JGB a hobby. That is purely on the basis of listening to recordings, and probably has no basis in fact. Towards the end of my working life, I enjoyed my hobby more than my job- but I was better at my job.
I had never heard of Bruce until I saw him with The Dead, so it felt mighty strange at Wembley 10/30/90, when he started playing that solo piece. Who he?

Gary - yes, it seems to me that it can be a mistake to over identify with our bodies.

Seemed to be as bored as the rest of us during the 49ers - Giants game this evening. So he started talking about some of the older stadiums where the 49ers played.

That prompted me to listen to 3/23/75 at Kezar Stadium. The SNACK benefit show.

A short set, but Good Lord. I can’t imagine what the Doobie Brothers were thinking to themselves when they had to follow that performance.

Random Candidates

Purely for personal feels… Two shows I’d love to have as Dave’s Picks.

Merriweather Post 06/30/85
Richfield Coliseum 09/08/90

I suspect these are well embedded in many tape collections. They were two early entries during my burgeoning tape trading forays. Both are available in exceptional quality at the usual repository. These facts lead me to believe that even if folks were like minded in their appreciation of the two performances, no official release will happen any time soon. Too available and too good a quality of sound to warrant special treatment. Mores the shame.

Merriweather’s Shakedown could be on repeat all night long and I’d be happy. The Richfield, in my mind, is just about THE perfect home stretch Dead show. I have enjoyed Bruce’s tenure, but I find myself less enthusiastic as time passes for some reason. Like many a Dead phenomenon, when he hit, he really nailed it. But when he was hovering I find his playing just adds a distracting layer in the “jangly” part of the mix. He’s just a little too percussive and concussive too often, and it almost feels like there needs to be a “Hornsby Dolby Reduction” setting that needs to be switched on. He, dare I say, grates! To the point of distraction. In fact I’d be comfortable enough to say that it’s my opinion that there isn’t a Dead show that would miss him. Yes, there are some great moments, but they don’t warrant the detracting and distracting “crunching tin foil” mush that he brings to the table nearly 100% of the time. And, how many times do we need a bloody squeezebox solo tearing a new one through yet another generic standard. The novelty wears thin quickly. Again, just one chaps opinion and no malice intended. Hey, I’d give body parts for an 11/01/90 release because that was my one and only show (and an absolute maelstrom of primal electronic bedlam)! Seriously, any bad (and there’s enough of it believe you me) is more than balanced by the sort of Dead show you really didn’t get “to that extent” once the basic first set - second set start - drumz - and night y’all format became the template. That show is not that show without Bruce.

However! Richfield is not Richfield with Bruce… And Richfield is sublime! Fluid, beautifully improvised, absolutely THE show to demonstrate that 90’s Dead was yet one more brilliant facet of this bands prowess and heart. No Bruce. Just Vince, riding shotgun, occasionally spelling when the journey demanded it but otherwise content to listen and compliment and learn. The mix is stunning. I don’t think you could get closer to a “Whithout a Net” like sound field if you tried. The jams are long and liquid. The whole second set is seamless. The Space is scary and haunting and the old warhorse of Stones/Fade is so solid it demands to be listened to, hard. Likewise the Deal set one closer… Perfect! The MIDI work is sublime and complimentary with Eyes and Estimated clocking in almost a half hour of faultless and considered playing before we ease into yet another perfectly realised little ditty. Terrapin… OK I’ll just get it off my chest and say it… yes, I would shag this show if it were possible (and consensual… obviously. Come on, I’m not an animal!) So, as you can probably tell, I really, really like this show. A LOT!

Second topic. I have been super impressed with the way the Jerry site has been handling its retail experience. Pricing has been incredibly reasonable. Shipping seems to involve a competent courier and they manage things like duty and tax at point of sale which is hugely appreciated by Johnny Foreigners like myself. It’s nice to be able to pick up releases that for the most part aren’t time or volume limited. Being able to pick up the occasional piece of associated art, a t shirt here or there… And to double take at the price not in fear but with incredulity at how reasonable it is… Top marks and I thought I’d just add to the comments bigging up the Jerry releases. You won’t be disappointed.

I’ll leave you with a remark my wife made yesterday… “I really like listening to the Jerry releases. It just sounds like he’s having a lot more fun than he does with the main band.”

Now she listens to the Dead because that’s what I play… a lot. And I’m a bastard music tyrant. She’s OK with the Dead, but she likes the Garcia band releases on their own merit, and I think she’s nailed it to be honest. There’s something about Jerry unencumbered by the all consuming Grateful Dead beast that he definitely displays when playing in his side hustle. Feel free to disagree and educate me otherwise.

PS. I haven’t spell checked or proofed this. It’s too long to do on an iPad and it’s late, and I’m one month away from two years sober and feeling a little chatty. Apologies. If one person enjoys 1% of this splurge… hey. Job done.

Take care all.

Peace

Stephen.

Welcome Danehead

Hi Danehead and welcome! My Denmark anecdote - in the mid 90s my wife was trekking through Europe with her then hubby, and travelling by train in a lovely area just north of Copenhagen, when she runs into her brother-in-law on the train, who was touring over there as a wanna be musician. She had no idea he was there, because he was living in South Carolina (still does), and she was living in Toronto. Small world.

Gary - Your mention of Oteil makes me think of an album I played the other day that features him - Vida Blue (who was a great pitcher in the day, but I digress). An interesting little band with Page McConnell from Phish, a pretty jazzy sound. Worth a listen if you find it.

Played Bombino “Live in Amsterdam” this morning- one heck of a guitarist, thanks again DHBrewer for the heads up on this guy.

As for unruly people at concerts, you see it constantly at movie theatres, but I find venue makes a difference - if it is one of the 100+ year old opera style houses that every town has, with ornate Victorian design, I find the bands they book tend to draw a better group of fans, less disruptive. The arena shows are a free for all. Noise, talking, phones. I don’t go to many shows anymore, more because the ticket business would be more honest if it was run by the Mob, just crazy now, but truth is, most of the performers I like have either hung it up, or shook this mortal coil. I actually feel bad that young people didn’t have the joy of lining up for tickets, meeting other like minded fans in the line (not scalpers), and the joy of walking away with actual tangible tickets you could flash like a badge to your buddies.

On Aging

When we were young, "Why am I here?" was the big existential question.
Now it's what I ask myself when I walk into the other room and can't remember what I went in there for. Wife laughed when I told her this a few minutes ago and said you gotta tell the Deadheads that. So I did. Pretty good, I remembered why I started this post. Score!

Hallo Copenhagen

Welcome! As others have said "You Can Jump Right In."

Speaking of Roger Glover, I post on here about a great show I saw at the Saenger Theater in New Orleans, in May (?) 2003. It was a Govt Mule show in tribute to Allen Woody, bass player for the Allman Brothers Band and then Govt Mule. Allen Woody had passed away three years earlier and it was a devastating loss. So Warren Haynes had this tribute called "The Deepest End." He invited bass players from many genres to join the tribute for Allen Woody. I always recommend people get the dvd/2cd set as it is an incredible journey in music. Here is a list of the bass players that played that night:

Jack Bruce
Oteil Burbridge
Bootsy Collins
John Entwistle
Flea
Roger Glover
Mike Gordon
Larry Graham
Stefan Lessard
Dave Schools
Mike Watt
Willie Weeks
Chris Wood
Jack Casady
Les Claypool
Billy Cox
Alphonso Johnson
Phil Lesh
Tony Levin
Me'shell Ndegeocello
Jason Newsted
George Porter, Jr.
Rocco Prestia
Dave Schools
Chris Squire

Maybe that will entice some bass players (Alvarhonso?, maybe OB Wan)) to give it a listen. It was a great show but it was Jazz Fest, so it was long, clocking in at over 8 hours. No way I could do that today.

Edit: Walked away and then confused Roger Clover for Glenn Hughes. Hate that the ole control panel circuits are fraying.

Dave Rock: I agree 100%. Even though the body breaks down, I too am happier today than any other time in my life. Well, except in shorts bursts of Grateful Dead shows and all its accoutrements.

...the word is out, all over town... got another one coming your way my buddy Pauley...and btw you're movin' much2slow lol it's a doozy of an upgrd for ya!

My rant about date order...

was just for fun.

It was also a way for me to vent political annoyances without being explicit

Anyway, current GD is 11 17 73

CD in car

I arrived at home yesterday just as UJB started

Date Formatting

It's a big conspiracy against the edible industry to make us late for work, dental appts, weddings, dr. visits, conferences, court dates, birthdays, baptisms, surgeries and delivering babies.

I read about it on the internet, so it must be true.

El Mocambo

That's Mike, I had the best random tourist sighting in August. We took the kids (8 and 12) to Toronto for a family trip and we saw many of the regular tourist places. Kids got to see the places they wanted, wife had a stop and I was along for the fun. On our way back to our rental from Chinatown, we were on a streetcar and I randomly look out the window and see the neon palm tree El Mocambo sign. I about jumped out of my seat with excitement. We had a couple things to see nearby the next day, so went and had a photo taken at the sign. Probably the best random tourist sighting I have had in my travels. It is in an interesting location, just outside of Chinatown and a block away from the Kensington Market neighborhood.

Dave's #48 possibilities

Carousel Ballroom 1968, or 10/31/70 , or hopefully but probably not, 9/20/70

Estimated Eyes

I hope Toronto was good to you and your family! It’s my hometown, although I live outside the city now. The El Mo was always a fun place to go to in it’s day (likely still is), and always gave the up and coming acts a start before they hit it big - Amboy Dukes, Elvis Costello, Blondie, the Police, etc. A friend in our crowd at high school won tix on the radio in 1977 to see this local band (April Wine) at the El Mo, and why not. Turns out the main act - The Cockroaches - was actually the Stones. He said it was incredible to see them at a club with the stage mere feet away! It’s hosted some greats - Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters, Hendrix, Ramones, Stevie Ray etc etc - but hard to beat the Stones in a club.
Thanks for sharing! I hoped you enjoyed your time here.

That Mike

I came on to give you thanks for sending me in the direction of Tinariwen, and here you've gone and changed your logo to that of my enemy-for-the-week, Toronto! :) Yesterday I enjoyed my lifelong love, the Twins, defeating your Blue Jays to end our wonderfully-horrible streak of 19 years and 18 attempts without winning a playoff game! Listened to Set Two of Iowa (1973.05.13) while watching, but would turn on the t.v. sound when something great would happen for the Twins, so as to hear the crowd roar!

Got my 2-CD Wake set in the mail yesterday. That was ordered from Bull Moose, so don't panic if you ordered from here . . .

Investigated record players because I'm so tempted by the new Garcia LP series, as well as those suh-WEET Wake picture discs! But I don't need another musical rabbit-hole to disappear down . . .

Last Five-ish
Bach: all kinds.
John Zorn: all kinds
The Replacements: Tim (new remix)--the new mix is stunning!
Moondog: Songs performed by Ghost Train Orchestra and Kronos Quartet
Steve Reich: Runner
(and a sixth, because it is good): Shadowlands--new album by S. Carey (Bon Iver) and John Raymond

DH Brewer

DH Brewer - My pleasure on Tinariwen. Really exotic sound, isn’t it? Likewise on Bombino - you mentioned seeing him, I was intrigued, loved what I heard! So many times I get turned on to amazing music recommendations here, because this bunch are really serious about their taste in music, or “Searching For The Sound” as Phil put it.
As for the Jays, the Rolling Stones released all these tongue logos for all the MLB teams (!), and knowing the Jays likely wouldn’t go far, I thought I’d change my avatar for a bit (there is a Twins one, as well, but not as dynamic as Toronto’s logo. ;) ). Good luck tonight, and thanks for the heads up on Bombino. I bought his Live in Amsterdam disc, more to follow.

ThatMike - Hawkwind

Thanks for the heads up. The original album defined the world I lived in during the 70's - so this is release is quite something for me. I ordered it on Friday, and have have been told via tracking that it will be delivered before 10.00pm tomorrow. Consequently I have just emailed a friend tell her I can't meet up tomorrow after all - I'll be staying in all day.

Toronto

That Mike, the whole family loved Toronto. What a great city! After I spotted El Mocambo, I explained that Stones show to my family and they took it in without rolling their eyes too badly (any parents out there know the drill, "not another dad story...").

Last 5 Non-GD:

Kinks-- Give the People What They Want
Clapton-- 24 Nights, Rock Band expanded edition
Zeppelin-- I
Talking Heads-- Speaking in Tongues
Tom Petty-- Live Anthology
Steely Dan-- Random from most of their CDs

a roundup of replies

What a week at work... I feel like I'm finally coming up for air, and here it is, Wednesday afternoon already...

JoeyMC - I do love me some straight analysis. I know Dr. Lemieux says he doesn't consider any of that stuff when selecting the next pick, but I can't help looking at trends, distributions, etc.
Oroborous - Fall 1991! Yessir! I toured a lot in 1991 from start to finish, so I feel pretty fortunate, bc the difference between Summer & Fall '91 and the next GD shows I caught, in May 1992, was dramatic. What a fall-off.
Uncle_tripel - welcome aboard!
Danehead - Your mention of Dave's 37 made me realize that I have almost criminally underplayed that one. When I turn my focus to '78, I tend to listen to the laryngitis gigs from January; Dick's Vol 18 from February; Red Rocks in July; or the Closing of Winterland. But I know I'm skipping over a lot of magic in April.
Icecreamkid - yes! Year-first dates ftw
Billythekid - ohhhh man. I'd love anything from Fall '70. But from what I am given to understand, the cupboard is pretty bare from that period. In my dreams, the next box set has all four nights from Fillmore East in September, or all four nights from Brooklyn in November... but I think only a few reels in total from those nights are in the Vault :(

Tinariwen

Hit one song on tube, nice,,, intriguing.

Have any in stock Mike?

Estimated - DaveRock - DH Brewer - Dennis

Estimated Eyes - I’m quietly proud Toronto treated you and the family well! Come anytime!
DaveRock- I figured you would have that boxset already ordered! I hope it’s great for you!
DHBrewer - The sports guys were chatting with random fans last night at Target, and one guy had me in stitches, he was so elated the nineteen year monkey (Oct 5-2004) was off their back. He wavered between ecstatic and incoherent. The fun ends for the Twins tonight, but…. ;)
Dennis - I think I have 3 of their albums. Mesmerizing music. Like Go To Egypt Redux.

OBEAH/ 10/31/70

OBEAH, they have 10/31/70 in the vault because they played it on the KPFA Grateful Dead marathon back in Feb. They said that some of the missing reels for this show had been found. It was an excellent sounding recording

To Much To Reply: Alvarhanso

Let's edit some

So start with Alvarhanso: I had been going to Jazz Fest for several years, the last 3 years I really went to Jazz Fest at Night as there was literally too many places to see band and I had grown tired of the day time at the fair grounds. So if my memory was correct on May 2, 2003 I saw Umphrey's McGee opening for Moe at the State Place Theater and then just wandered around the quarter popping in to see the true N.O. players. Hard to place, but think we went to see Trombone Shorty that night. May 3rd was across the street at the Saenger Theater for Deepest End. And May 4th we went to the Orpheum (I think) to see the Funky Meters. I have written about that show before. It was one of the funkiest shows I have seen, well up there and I have seen a lot of funk. This same weekend Widespread Panic was playing 3 sold out shows at the brand new New Orleans Arena, that is how Dave Schools and a lot of the players came in but made the logistics of the show a little tricky; to have so many players playing their own shows. That same weekend some where in there, we went to Howlin Wolf's to see the East Coast vs. West Coast Jazz Allstars and Buckethead solo at Howlin Wolf's, a show that started at 4 am. So long nights, sleep thru a big chunk of the day. For several Jazz Fest's I stayed at this killer BNB on Esplanade. It was a condemned house that a couple Auburn University graduates bought and remodeled. They did an awesome job. Now when I try to look for it, there are several BNB's on Esplanade . Think it might have been Ashton's BNB.

Ahhh New Orleans' Ladies...they sashay by. Indeed they do.

BTW, Jazzfest at night was started and ran by superfly and ac entertainment, who also do Outside Lands and Bonnaro and other large festivals.

Alvarhanso Again

Did you see my reply a few weeks back about Ziggy's. I did see a lot of shows there, saw Dave Matthews Band there I think in 1993.

Dead Dreams

last night I had a brief dream where I was on the side of the stage while the GD were playing a Warfield/RCMH type show. I kept trying to move to the front of the stage, but couldn't.

There’s no bad music, just music I haven’t tuned into yet.

We're Gonna' Win, Twins . . . !

That was an old Twins theme song . . . appropriate tonight, eh, Toronto Mike? :)

Obeah--I started seeing the GD in 1991 and was mesmerized . . . and then in 1992, I too thought, "What the HELL?"

New Joni Mitchell Archives box arrived tonight--yes . . . !

Be kind, rewind . . .

Twins

DHBrewer - 👍 I’ll never understand why the Jays pulled Berríos at 47 pitches. Like the other TO teams, the Leafs and Craptors, the Jays fold under pressure. Solid win by the Twins. Good luck against the Astros.

Ice Cream & Rhino

Thanks for the heads up, but, even I have bottoms to the money. ( I can hear my old man, "what'ya think, I'm made of money") (Well my wife isn't either :-) )

I think both those set are worth being in the collection, but I have a lot of "music" money on the hook right now.

Lets see, we got coming

VMP - Monthly Pick

Third Man - Sid Barrett collection

Joni's box set (number 3)

Otiel's Jerry tribute album

Dylan from Japan

Garcia (heads/tails)

Beatles cover cd

Built to Last

Truckin' to Buffalo

Wake of Flood

In & Out in Vinyl

Record store day will require Pure Jerry & (hell or high water) the final box set of 3/2/69

Just spent a g-note on new tubes for the preamp (which didn't fix it), in repair shop right now,,, that scares me.

Went to the Container store yesterday and started pricing shelving for my "music" room,,, looks like over 4 grand.

(fyi - if anyone is a Container store Elfa fan,,,, biggest sale in their history,,,,, 35% off)

So I'll pass on Yes and The Band. :-)

So much music, so little money.

That Mike

check your PM's

Please forgive me, Marye

Many of us have been here:

"Love of my life, check your PMS."

I have stories...oh, do I have stories...

Spoiler.

11/20/71

I feel a little bad about this...

JoeyMC

What are you saying Joey? Do you have some inside information for us?

DEADVIKES, I was poking…

DEADVIKES, I was poking around... it looks like the next pick is 11/20/71.

10/31/70 + 11/20/71 0_0

Billythekiddd - oh rly?!?! That's GREAT news to hear about 10/31/70, I didn't know that. Found reels?! There aren't many two-word phrases that can fill me with quite as much joy as that one. For 1970 fans like me, this is huge.

11/20/71 is the next pick? Well that jives with this "Pauley" rumor I keep hearing. Personally I was hoping for 2/21/82 if it was to be Pauley; hoping Dave would finally venture into 1982. But the Dead basically couldn't plant a foot wrong in Fall 1971, so I have no doubt this one is going to be hot. Looks like this would have been their last show prior to a break for Thanksgiving week. I see the setlist has a "China Cat Jam" late in Set II... I'm excited already

11/20/71

Fantastic Joey. Great news. I don't think Dave has ever ended the year with a 71 pick.

Yawn

Right city, good street, wrong house yet again…
I’m sure it will be enjoyable, but considering what hasn’t been picked from fall/winter 71….really?

Curious what ole Doc thinks?

Mike - Take Solace

The Jays did the right thing by bowing out in the first round of the playoffs to join the Matthews/Marner/Tavares search party. They could have been selfish and pushed on to the World Series.

Godspeed in finding those lads. Berrios will need his rest as they search the Canadaland tundra.

Jack

Thanks.
I think.

Jerry, the Sphere & Save Mother Earth

found a cut of the new jerry "save Mother Earth" from Heads/Tails on you tube

a couple of minutes in video switches to kaleidoscope type video,,,, not quite fast enough for the cut, but that's the shit I'd like to see at the Sphere, not some landscape vision.

Music is color and movement in my book.

Mike

I am only riding you. That was another brutal post-season Toronto exit.

As a (former) long suffering Red Sox fan and current long suffering Sabres (and Bills) fan I think you can grant me a bit of latitude.

11/20/71?

Hmmm. I haven't visited GD71 for quite a while.

I have heard it and found it acceptable, but I wouldn't call it a "doozy".

It hasn't been officially announced, so we will see.

No matter what, Dave, y'all be cool.

Jack

We’re cool, Amigo! I know you were kidding, and I get the Buffalo credentials. Oro and I believe there is something sinister in the water around here (Love Canal residual).
We have a saying here for our teams - Maybe next year.
(But if you are going to pay an ace $131million to pitch, why in Heaven’s name do you pull him when he is only 47 pitches in, and throwing well!?!? Sometimes sports is more confounding than women, and that’s saying something!)

Save Mother Earth....

....tasty. I might have to order that record now dammit.
The Sphere was made for fractals!

Mike

Yeah. Good old Hooker Chemical.

Dave's 48 - 11/20/71 ?

Is that a fact or a guess? It doesn't look that exciting on paper, unfortunately. It always seems to me that Fall 1971 was one of the really exciting times for the band , with quite a few great shows-counting December as Fall. Weird, then, how they keep missing the great ones when it comes time to officially release one.
2/3/69 will be good, though!

DaP #48...11/20/71?!?!

I don't believe that DP #48 is 11/20/71....prove it. Where are the pre-release deets/artwork? I think someone is just workin the phishin' on this board. 11/20/71 certainly doesn't look like the doozy he spoke of at the end of the #47 video. Setlist looks routine 1971 at best...maybe a good Other1.

I'm callin' bluff, and still guessing DaP #48 is something form 1981-1988.

If it is 11/20/71, that will be EVERY release from TPTB this year from 1971-1979 including WOTF live material, Here Comes Sunshine Box set, 5/7/77 Vinyl, etc.....AGAIN?!?!

How many shows from 1971-1973 can we have in one year?!?! There really is not that much left from those years to release...6-shows from 1973 this year including bonus live show from WOTF.

It's just time for a exclusive 1979-1991 series....c'mon

Daves #48

I'm still betting on 1968 or 1970

Dave’s 48

Is 11/20/71. It’s confirmed. I even saw the artwork for it

Adedhed68

Where did you see the artwork?

DeadVikes

I went into my orders on this website and under the order for the subscription, there was a picture of the artwork. It looks a little bit like Dave’s 5 because it is Pauley Pavilion again. Same color scheme at least. Blue and yellow…….UCLA colors

Thanks Adedhed68! I will have to check that out.
Wait, 71 doesn't rhyme with 48???

11/20/71

Right there in Order Status

Pauley Pavilion 71

Yes, it took me forever to get in there, but shit, there it is.

Dave definitely keeps us guessing. Four shows from the 1970s this year.

What will he do next year?? We should know #49 by the end of month when subscriptions go on sale.

Holy Crap!

Good choice Lemieux. I will add, when ABCD first became known and Betty Boards were being returned, I had an exchange with Lemieux specifically asking if there were any things coming that simply did not circulate or were unknown. His answer vague but reading the tea leaves I seemed to gather less that was unknown, but not necessarily 0, but a lot that we now have in much better sound quality that previously existed, especially 1971 and to a lesser extent 1972. This was before Dave's Picks 26, Albuquerque and Ann Arbor was announced, so he might have just been forshaddowing that release, but that is what he said.
