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.

Mighty Mickey

Whenever I take an excursion into some “World music”, as I did this week, I inevitably circle back to Mickey Hart’s discography, and I always gain a renewed appreciation for Mickey’s incredible talent and gifts to drumming. Not just his playing - first rate - but his contributions such as his field recordings, and his own wonderful releases featuring rhythms not often heard in traditional Western music. I played both RAMU and In The Groove, and just incredible the drummers he assembles on these recordings, and evokes this marvellous sound from. Usually any “drum solo” in a concert is washroom break for me, but Mickey really brings something otherworldly into drumming. Posters will argue forever if the Dead were “better” with just Bill, or just different, at a time when the stripped down sound of Beauty/Workingman’s called for less. To me, what always drove the Allmans sound was the duo of Jaimoe & Butch, and I think it more true in the Dead with both Bill and Mickey. He has an incredible catalogue, some really interesting stuff that sometimes is exactly what you need to hear. I could never imagine him just being a drummer in some band, playing a twenty song gig, rinse, repeat.
Recommended - “Drums of Passion” by Babatunde Olatunji, recorded in 1960, a favourite of Santana and Coltrane evidently. Excellent World sounds.

Closer to home, my “Next due”: Buddy & Julie Miller’s new release. An understated guitarist I saw once with Plant & Krauss, a fan ever since.

“Timothy Leary’s dead. No, no. He is outside looking in.”
And he was a poser, and did nothing for the psychedelic movement.

Dave's #47

I've been spending a fair amount of time with this one the last couple of weeks and to my ears this thing cooks!! I love the fact that DL and crew plan on hitting this era again when the time is right. 1979 GD has plenty to offer!

Also, I guess the fact that I didn't start getting tapes from my older brother and friends till 1988 has been a blessing and enabled me to "love it all"

I seen the band 17 times from 91-95 and loved every minute of it! I loved calling the hot line for set list of prior shows on a tour so i could try and call the openers or encores!

I know 94-95 was a real hard time for Garcia. I remember on night at Philly Spectrum, 3/19/95 (UNbroken Chain breakout) during Crazy Fingers, that I thought Jerry was going to literally fall right through the mic stand and off the stage!

As a proud member of Alcoholics Anonymous, I understand the abyss of addiction. It saddens me that Jerry was stuck in hotels and Persian was his refief.

He was trying to get clean but, it was not to be.

So, I hope I didn't get to heavy on that topic. Just sitting here drinking coffee and spinning Dave's #47

Hope all is well with everyone.

Rock on, gang!

I'm listening to 47 again,…

I'm listening to 47 again, it's better than I originally thought. The Black Peter> I Need A Miracle is quite something.

I see the Jerry people are selling Three Hundred Dollar photographs ? I usually credit them with not charging stupid amounts of money for stuff, like a hatchet for instance...

Leary is shit.

Beware of believers

It seems to me that people who are 100% in favour of anything are a bit deluded. Most things have pros and cons. It pays to be wary of people who think they have the answer and try to influence other people to see things the way they do. There was an awful lot of that in the 60's - including people who were either in favour or against acid. As Charlie Watts once said - it's unfortunately very easy to con the young.

Mention of the 13th Floor Elevators - hugely entertaining if you like that kind of thing, but whether Roky Erikson would have been happier if he hadn't taken psychedelics in the way he did is a mute point.
In fact, thinking about it, Roky Erikson, and what happened to him serves as a chilling reminder of the negative effects of simple minded evangelism. He appears to have been used as a mouthpiece for non musician Tommy Hall, about 10 years his senior, to spread the gospel according to Tommy Hall. Which seemed to revolve around taking psychedelics 24/7. This had such a profound effect on Erikson, that by the end of the 60's he apparently took to the stage with a band aid wrapped round his head to close his 3rd eye, and dim the hallucinations. Enter what we used to laughingly refer to as "straight society" who incarcerated him and fed him a diet of their medication. Shocking mistreatment and manipulation all round.

With a tip of the hat

and a wink to Bear, Skully, Sands and the Brotherhood of Eternal Love. Honorable mention to the Jimi Hendrix, the 13th Floor Elevators, the Grateful Dead, the Jefferson Airplane, Monterey Pop, Woodstock,.. (this list could get long). It would have happened without Leary, once the CIA opened the spigot to the general public, it was game on.

I blame my brother and my friends.. but Mama Tried to raise me better....

True, Leary did not help psychedelic research one bit.. nor did Nixon, Manson or Altamont. For good or for ill, the War on Drugs was the nail in the coffin that closed the door for scientific research for more than four decades.

Tangerine Dream

PT - great review, cheers. The last time I saw them was the last time they played in England with Edgar Froese - must be about 10 years ago. Good to read that they are still out there.

speaking of psychedelic research

caught Tangerine Dream Monday night at the Orange Peel in Asheville, Nc. A small to medium sized venue holds 1000 people SRO. There were seats set up on most of the floor and mostly people sat for the show. There were of course several standing as seats were an extra 15 and the standing area was actually a really good view. I ventured back there from my seat a couple of times and the sound was intense but not too loud to annoy, but you could feel the low notes and was said that the room sounded great in E so the ending jam was in E to E flat, some bone shaking vibrations that were tremendous. I hadn't felt anything like it except maybe when Mickey would hit those low notes on the Beam, right through you and could feel it in your chest, so good. There were 2 screens, one on each side of the stage, that had some really cool graphics going on, melting and fractals swirling along with the music.
The set list was taken from their website as I only recognized three of the tunes that they played. Love on a Train from Risky Business, Raum and Phaedra.
Improvised intro>Los Santos City Map>Continuum>Love on a Train>Raum. A pause for lots of applause. Then right back at it, No Endings>Betrayal(Sorcerer Theme)>Rare Bird(1st time played on tour)>Portico >Choronzon. More applause as the three members took a slight pause and accepted everyone's love. The band is really jelling now. Logos Velvet (first time played on tour) Tangram Set (another first)>Cloudburst Flight>You're always on Time>White Eagle>Phaedra. Off the three went for a much deserved break as the 400 or so patrons and I voiced our approval of their performance. Right away, not but a minute or two out they came and showered love on us as being an excellent audience who actually listened. Then as is customary with Tangerine Dream, the encore was an improvised session that lasted about 25 minutes, sometimes turning on a dime and leaving the two screens blank or frozen in place. 2 hrs plus a 25 min improv nice show, highly recommended. Check out their facebook page for more info if interested. Quite a trippy show.

Personally...

I never took any notice of Timothy Leary or Ken Kesey when carrying out my own extensive research into the effects of LSD on my grey matter. 🧠

Psychedelic therapy

My understanding - which might be wrong of course - was that Cary Grant took LSD as part of what was called "psychedelic therapy" under the guidance of a psychiatrist. He was clearly an advocate, but not a recreational user in the way people were in the 60's and 70's.

It's curious, reading about the history of LSD, how it became almost appropriated by Timothy Leary, and to a lesser extent Ken Kesey, who went on to define it's culture, and to some extent how it should be taken. There was nothing in the 1950's to suggest it would become a recreational drug of choice associated with rock music and young people. There is a school of thought that says Leary and Kesey were partly responsible for knocking psychedelic research back decades.

My rant about date order...

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.

I ain’t afraid of no metal, dude. ‘Course, I like my metal on the older side. Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, etc.
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.
(Only 5 sleeps to go…)

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

Adedhed68

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.
