    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.

    I think this a pretty good show. I was checking out some ticket stubs from back in the day, and remembered 6/5-6/6/93 giants stadium. I don't remember which one, but I remember we were in my 71' Chevelle on the N.J. turnpike sitting in traffic, because an 18 wheeler full of honeybee hives turned over, and the fire department had to hose down the truck. Anyone on here remember that? Traffic was so jammed that we all just turned our cars off , started to mingle around with other heads. I completely forgot about that till yesterday. Once we got to the stadium everyone was talking about it. Talk about getting a buzz. Dave's 47 Shakedown is pretty groovy. Brent's tinkling shines through.

    What, Me Worry?

    Well Alfred may not ever worry but I was worried too Oro.
    I think ours travel the same ridiculously circuitous route through Denver USPS.
    Zero tracking after the UPS handoff on all of this year's releases.
    Big number 20787/25000 was a couple days late.
    Warming up the solid state transistors and capacitors.
    Cheers and enjoy

    Phew, was getting worried…

    …DOAH, stooooopid Dejoy (even Homer don’t like him)

    47 was moving along nicely, then didn’t seem to make the handoff from UPS to USPS in Denver.
    Was supposed to originally arrive Wednesday the 2nd, then Thursday, then…but tracking had stopped before the handoff, a week ago! Scary, because this is where some folks often seem to lose theirs. Gulp….
    So was starting to get worried, when all of a sudden tracking shows it at the PO yesterday, but not ready for delivery, which usually means the passive/aggressive fucks at our PO will sit on it for a day or two, so you have to try and make it in there on a Monday, or they’ll at least wait until literally 5:01, after they close, and then put the slip in the box, requiring a return trip and wait in line with 40 or so other folks all crammed in the 10 X 20’ Covid incubator lobby!
    So what a wonderful surprise when just a few hours later tracking showed “delivered”! So awesome to not only get it, but they actually put it in the box so no having to go wait in line etc! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
    Whooohoo, so ripped it last night with no issues and checked out the 12/4 bonus material along with the stuff from DaP 31. Sounded nice!
    So, TOO is working today, so as soon as proper protocol is followed, this place gonna be rocking!!
    Hope others get yours soon! Now where did I leave that lighter?

    Hmmm…

    No shipping notice.
    Just showed up in my mailbox.
    First time that’s happened.
    Ripping it now. Gonna give it a spin after this edible kicks in.
    Between Dave’s 46 + bonus disc, the new box set, and this little darling, I’ve got a lot of listening to do.

    #5248 via Donkey Express in the Red Rock Southwest. This DaP is a good un no doubt.

    Gary - crossing threads, glad you dug the Dead and Co 7/1 show. I keep coming back to it. It was a great/grateful night.

    I'm with ya Proudfoot ... when are we gonna get a multi-year Greek boxed set? Can't see that venue and all the wonderful shows it produced being overlooked forever ... perhaps in July of 2024 for the anniversary of that incredible Friday 13th Dark Star? I will it to be so!!!!

If you see this, wanted to update you. Last years "Undertaking" turned out to be awesome. Getting ready for the second trip through the Series. Last year, by watching them in quick succession, I really harvested much knowledge on the overall story line.

The filler on disc 3 from 12/4/79 is stunning! Stella Blue in particular is an all-timer to these ears!

1979-12-04? could it be the filler you're looking for?
it would certainly round out that daP 51 very nicely, right?
1970-10-24, well, you know Dave won't be that predictable lol or...?
Peace All!
