    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.

    Welcome!
    Don't ever pay too much for the older stuff, be patient. You can probably get copies from someone also.

    I absolutely love all the speculation about the next pick...

    1968 very cool, but hopefully 9/19 & 20/70

    My listen to set one was fine

    Second set in the car soon.

    The thing is, I'm not particularly picky.

    I sense that I will like it. Time will tell.

    "Sorry that you feel that way", FMR. Hopefully another listen will be better.

    My first Dave's Picks and it…

    My first Dave's Picks and it's been great to have in the car this week. Been starting to pick up older ones and a couple Road Trips, as well. Fun to be digging deeper with the Dead for the first time...

    Re: DP 47 recording quality

    Listened to this one all the way through and it really felt like a let down. I just don't understand why this one was picked. I love early Brent era and I'm happy they're dipping into these shows but why this one? There's nothing special about it and the quality of the recording isn't good. The vocals overpower the instruments. I listened to it this once and I'll probably never listen to it again. I don't get it.

    Still no notification of shipping for 47. Logging in is a waste of time, "order history" does not work, then the search function insists the order # does not exist, despite cut/paste from original email for 23' DP via GDS.
    So lame. Last time I subscribe for DP yearly.

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!
