    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.

    Sorry to hear David Laflamme has passed. My friends and I wore the grooves out of that first IABD album (great cover, too!), and their second was pretty decent, too. I saw LaFlamme years ago oddly enough on an episode of Frasier!
    As for Robbie, my hometown hero. I was lucky enough to see the original Band twice, but their show on their finale tour, leading up into The Last Waltz, was one of my best concerts ever. I found myself asking myself why these guys would want to quit when they were so damn good.
    Godspeed gentlemen, into that good night.

    His solo lp is so good, and of course his work within the Band is legendary. I had a real love/hate thing going with him but that is in the past, nothing but love for a great musician now, may the four winds blow you safely home somewhere down that crazy river.

    Hey Daverock, I remember the first hippies I ever met, they were older than I, yes and their attitude and demeanor were so laid back. The first time I met them a long haired dude and the sweetest of sweet little lady who when we entered asked us if we would like to smoke and offered up an assortment of smokables on a beautiful art and crafts type rolling tray. They were so cool, she said, "Would you like to try some of this tasty oaxaca that we have" and off we went.
    I was shocked this morning when I read that David Laflame had also passed away, what a talent. I'm sure that everyone who ever saw the It's a Beautiful Day perform would agree. Have several of their albums, the first with the lady on the cover is an all time favorite and a classic with hits like "White Bird" and "Hot Summer Day" and of course "Wasted Union Blues" great song title that one. Other lp's followed but their first was their best. Marrying Maiden and Choice Quality Stuff are both good too. The compilation 1001 nights is a good one that puts them all together on one lp.
    My record collection is starting to look like "works from the graveyard" everyone seems to be leaving us.
    RIP Robbie and David, man that Heart of Gold band is really getting crowded.

    Gary - yes, that's an interesting theory. From my memory of the mid 70's, there used to be certain type of "hippie", slightly older than my generation - maybe 25 to my 18, who assumed the role of men of wisdom. Men...and it always seemed to be men... worth listening to. I remember a guy like that in my home town. A bit older. He had a beard, his own flat - even a girlfriend! A beautiful woman of about 19, who stared at you and rarely spoke. And when she did.... she whispered. They informed us about meditation, and came out with statements probably filched from the Bhagavad Gita or somesuch. And of course, they sold a bit of bob hope on the side. Quite intimidating in way, but harmless enough.

    Does the music sometimes fade into the background? And then a certain switch flip occurs that perks your ears?
    It just happened to me during the second set Loser at 6.9.73.
    Second set Losers are tight!

    RIP Robbie Robertson

    While not a huge fan of the ego that broke up The Band, the man undeniably left a massive imprint on what we think of as rock, folk, Americana, or just music, period. I have no clue what The Weight is about, but damn if it ain't one of the greatest songs ever put down. And The Band had a few dozen of those level songs. Indisuptably, he penned the lyrics. More up for debate, is how much credit the other guys should have gotten for their contributions to the music. But, avoiding that to think about this 15-16 year old Canadian Indigenous person (who learned early in life to hide that part of his heritage) who tore up the Canadian circuit with Ronnie Hawkins and the Hawks. Then cutting out with Levon and the Hawks, then joining Dylan in going electric as The Band. Levon was a tough guy, but even he couldn't take the booing and quit, and Mickey Jones finished the tour. Dylan's motorcycle accident and The Band living nearby at the Pink House is now legend. As far as his guitar playing, no less than Duane Allman is said to have cited Robbie as his favorite guitar player. An authentic rock legend.

    Got my DaP 47, have ripped it. Like the gatefold as Vguy mentioned, and noted that DaP 31 has it as well when I grabbed it to re-rip the filler to sit with its companion pieces. Looking forward to listening. Just got the computer set up last night, and luckily, just checked and the music cannot be heard in the bedroom over the AC (even maxed on my computer), so wife is blissfully ignorant of my goings on in my new music room. So far, in Promised Land, it sounds like 1979-80, tinny keyboards (but constantly in the mix, unlike Keith, who was often largely absent), Phil with a different sounding thunder on the Irwin bass, the drummers more ensconced in their own giant sets, and Jerry sounds like he's having a ball early on, Bob seems more prominent in the mix than Jerry so far. The liner notes were interesting. Almost like Dave is saying "12/1/79 isn't coming out for a long time, and I'm going to turn you onto the shows that are better that tour first", which i don't get, 12/1 has a Black Peter, what more does Dave require? I'd like some more Altheas if we're gonna be in an era where it's played.

    Gary, out of curiosity, what were you doing at Hanes Mall in Winston-Salem the day Jerry died? Did you live near there?

    What if the rhyme on 48 doesn't mean '68, but '88? I'll take 7/2, which leaves a gaping hole for some prime filler.

    I am sure some around here (hometown) would say...always depends on hair and beard length.

    Gonna post again a quick intellectual debate. The last time I posted this, probably early 2016, it got overlooked or panned by folks.

    I really wish Bob would comment on this.

    But in 2016, I wondered if Estimated Prophet/Profit!, was written regarding Charles Manson. The song seems to fit him so well. I think of the electrician (?) knocking at backdoor of Winterland in the Movie. Charles was released from prison in early March 1967, if memory serves, and went immediately to the Haight. That is why I see him as a backdoor man, just trying to get in and sell his wrap/bullshit. I was thinking maybe the entire Organization of hippies for the most part rejected his overblown ego and self importance. "Standing on the beach, the sea will part before me...Fire wheel burning in the air. You will follow me, We'll rise up to glory (or we will ride to glory), way up in the middle of the air."

    Just another rabbit hole for me. I posted again today because I was reminiscing about Chocolate George, the Hell's Angel and his funeral. Back when we could post, I had found video segment that showed the angels funeral procession along with video of the dead playing after the funeral, and had the board tape edited in. It was a very short clip. If you search Chocolate George's funeral you will find lots of stuff. But in 2017, it looks like a 50th anniversary of the summer of loveeb site was created. Has article about Manson on front page. I have not had time to read yet. Maybe after I open my skull in a bit. the web page is summerof then an actual dotlove/history.

    Now to tie the two together. When you see Chocolate George's funeral procession, you kind of get the sense that maybe the S.F. crowd told him to shove off. I am sure his wrap did nothing for the angels. As within just a few weeks he was back down near L.A. starting his little empire.

    One last thing, has any one seen Outlaw Chronicles - the story of the Angel's George Christie. It is really a very interesting watch, lasts several episodes and several hours. He moved the LA Angels to Ventura. As all this stuff has always interested me since I was a kid. Then, over time, I will explain more. But dealt with a local BC here back in the mid-late 1980's. Wanna talk about the free flow of...

I've enjoyed Dave's 47 quite a bit. Lots of little extra musical lines and jam pieces along the way. A really good show that I had not heard before.

The 48 announcement is the first disappointing one for me with Dave's Picks for a while. I'm not excited about Fall 71. There are so many official releases from that tour at this point. I'd much rather see something different - how about 91 instead of 71? Don't get me wrong I like the 70s and the great sounding recordings. Just feel like this particular tour has been done. I like the Chicago and Albuquerque releases but I couldn't get into the Felt forum shows. In my opinion a lot of the newer songs in late 71 are just much better developed in 72 and beyond. Anyhow, not what personally was looking for but hey.... so be it.

Man I love Deadbase. I spend several hours a week in it. I had planned to right about them today, after writing about the Space set openers. That comes from Deadbase. They were short lived but weird. Guys at Deadbase have put so much research into their efforts. Thanks Guys!!! Next step is to get data into a searchable database. That would be something. With all of that research, that is probably only 25% of the overall knowledge as much has to be discovered in their Raiders of the Lost Ark warehouse.

Great story!

Well, that explains why I don't remember being at the Capital Centre in 1988. I was in Washington State. Caught the Tacoma Dome show, Santana opened, then spent the next 3 weeks tooling around in the mountains and on the coast. A great time to be in rainy state, it barely rained at all...

For Gary, couple more bits... was at a local nursery, the landscaping kind, saw a guy walk by with Deadbase X under his arm, various book markers/notes sticking out. Seemed a little odd, until a few minutes later I walked over to speak with him, since he appeared to be hanging out. As I did, overheard him and an employee mention Phish, no big surprise either. We spoke pretty widely for twenty minutes or so, wanted to sound out his interests in music now, as I had heard that once Deadbase 50 was out, he his two partners said we are done. He plays guitar for fun, had a t-shirt on with various Fenders. I participate in a local "network" that shares announcements of live music events of all kinds, esp the small off the radar house concerts etc and sought to see where he went for that, as he still lives where he has for decades, less than an hour south of here, so close enough. Could reach out to him through close mutual friend and ask about any efforts on searchable data bases, though I think between all thats on the web now, its out there albeit in pieces.

We're at 80% in Plano.

My son and my buddy went to San Antonio,,, gonna be 100%.

My brother in Midland, TX, will be at 100%.

I would have been in San Anton, but sick dog.

Come April next year, we'll see 100% in Plano.

"He's Gone: A Tribute to Brent Mydland" now streaming on
dreamswedreamed dot com.
I'm very proud to release this last episode of DTV, a half hour tribute to Brent. This was the 18th episode, and took about two months to produce, write and edit. It includes interviews with many deadheads (it was Dead Head TV, after all). We also interviewed Dave Margen who played with Brent in Go Ahead, as well as authors Blair Jackson, David Gans, and Jerilyn Brandelius. We were fortunate to sit down with lyricist John Barlow, who shared his experience co-writing Brent's last songs.

Wow!!!

I wanted to thank, Dave on the last release. When I opened it and pulled out the insert, it was a picture of Brent. Thought that was Nice. There is a longer story to this, but I have hit uptown.

Happy Sunday, rockers!!!

In preparation for the new release, I have been listening closely to the November 1971 shows. The high quality of both Harding shows goes without saying, and the 7th is indeed classic. Even the chaotic Atlanta show has its moments, and continued thanks to John McCook, for sharing memories of that evening. The very solid and perpetually underappreciated San Antonio and TCU shows lead us nicely to the exceptionally strong, semi-classic, personally cherished Austin and Albuquerque shows. Pauley continues in that vein, and I'm expecting a substantial sonic upgrade for all of us. Let's all listen with an open mind and ear...............

Many of the October and November 1971 shows are actually very strong and foretold the future without Pigpen. Always worth a listen..................

Man approaches the unattainable truth through a succession of errors.........

One thing that occurred to me, listening to the two opening shows in the "River" box - 12/9 and 12/10/71 was that they seemed much more rocking in them, than in shows from Fall 1972 and all 1973. Interesting how this lineup evolved in the three years they were operating. In Fall 1971 they sound, to me, like a rock n' roll band, and this forms the bedrock for all they played.By Fall 1974 they sounded more like a jazz band - who sometimes played rock and roll - but did so in the way a jazz band would do it, rather than a rock band.

Thanks for the loss of a hundred bucks, Dennis. Guess it evens out since I got 6/10/73 at a good price. Wonder why Real Gone isn't releasing this through their site, checked my emails and nothing from them about this. They had decent prices on the two Vaults I'm lacking, but not needing.

Still nonplussed about 48, but in the next week or so, we should be hearing about number 49, and then a few more weeks until we hear about numero 50!

Alvarhanso - It goes on sale at RealGone 10/19 at 10 am PST. There is a "soldout" placeholder listing with info on upcoming sales time. $49.99 list right now in placeholder.

Saw the Real Gone email an hour ago and emailed Experience to try and cancel on the grounds that a 50 buck markup was ridiculous. We'll see if they do the right thing. Just wanted some peace of mind after having to scramble on DiP 1 a few months ago. I can understand secondary market markup, but not when it hasn't even had a chance to go on sale. We'll also see if this is a moot point come Thursday, if I can get a Real Gone purchase completed at the much more reasonable price. (Love the Jerry Garcia vinyl pricing!)

Yet, at the time, I couldn’t see it.
Kept getting a message that my reCRAPTCHA answer was incorrect.

Sounds like others were having similar problems.

Twice the price for a DaP2 vinyl? Highway robbery.

PF- I was there at Folsom Field on Friday night for that debacle (long time season ticket holder).

Let's just say I had a hell of a lot more fun there this summer at the 3 Dead and Co shows.

Well, at least until Dave Matthews showed up on stage. Yeah, I said it.

Speaking of Stanford, to echo another recent poster, that Maples 73 show sure would sound great as a DaP.

Looking forward to checking out this next release, but wonder how long it will stay up in the rotation...

I wouldn't mind one of those, I have to say. One of the all time great releases in my book, and contrary to how these releases are normally considered, weirdly enhanced through not being the whole show.

Daverock, I'm with you on this one - despite DP2 being 1/3 of the full show, what was initially offered is indeed the true meat of this show. Back then when it was originally released, we didn't know any better anyway since it was only the 2nd release of the series and that DP1 was also hacked up to fit onto 2 discs. In retrospect I can see some potential criticism but at the end of the day the fact that they put that Dark Star and NFA medley in our hands was enough to fill my cup.

Cup remains full on this still today- and I was inspired to go take a listen and am in the midst of that DS right now and it's as inspiring as ever.

Be Well People!

That Dark Star is an all-timer. Is cosmic over used here? If not, it's a cool, especially cosmic Dark Star which reminds me, I can't seem to find my Cosmic Mushroom Foraging Tool. Has anyone seen it? Bet it happens to you folks all the time too.

Holey $hit, just went back in time on a random spin'O the wheel and got 're-acquainted' with The Fillmore from 6/6/70 and holy cow that jam out of Alligator.
This is the stuff.

The whole show just smokes Back To The Future Tire Tracks all over it.

P.S. Jimmy in a parallel universe my Forager is hanging right next to my Workingman's Hatchet

CD’s were around $20 each in the 1990’s, so the early DP’s had to be kept short so people were willing to spend the cash.
Back in those days I spun DP2 way more than DP1 or DP3 (which are both awesome).
