    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.

    That would be a great mini-box, just like 10/9 & 10/10 82.
    My guess for next DaP is 7-18/76, with its hard-to-beat set list.
    Ideal 1976 choice would have been 10-15, but no tapes in the vault. One of the 2 best shows of the year, check it out on the Archive.

    A lot of calls for a Gainesville release, which would be cool. An Anchorage box could be interesting as an Alaska Complete shows release. So many choices.

    Interesting choice! Sorry HF, no WG…YET
    I was hoping for a horn show, and/or think the bonus disc should have more songs off the album, BUT…
    That being said, this is a hot set! We hit it this year on POTDWD, and though only the second set is currently available, it was a real doozey! And if only the second is in the vault, well I guess this is as good a way to get it out as any?
    BUT…but, perhaps the most interesting factor is that it’s another 50th bonus that’s only one disc…
    Guess only the big dogs (AB & WMD) will get full shows?
    So, what’s that mean for Mars, especially since there’s a lot of carcasses from 74 to pick at.
    And Blues then will only be 3/23/75 instead of 6/17//75, which means 6/17//75 when? Perhaps another 30 trips for 60th anniversary in gulp, just two years!
    Yeah, kinda a bummer, silly me, I had been going through and trying to figure out what shows would have made the best bonus picks partly based on most songs off the corresponding album lol. Oh well, it was fun and who knows, maybe we’ll get Gainsville for Go To Heaven ; )

    Uncle Sixtus! How’s it? Good to see ya!

    He's the 5th member of Phish, running the most stunning moving light rig I've ever seen - it is groundbreakingly amazing, totally choreographed with everything that band does.

    It's unmatched genius and has enhanced their shows with a True X Factor.

    Wake was hidden on the dead site, I would have expected under "Music", "new releases". But nooooo, it's under "special collections".

    It was free shipping from them, but the bastards dug deep into the wallet. An exclusive "blue" lp AND a picture disc version!!!! You're killing me!! Double cd collection seems nice. Apparently getting the meat of what's available for 11/1/73,,, my copy of 11/1 doesn't have Weather Report Suite,,, so nice.

    PS - I've gotten a notice of shipping for 47,,, i think,,,, they're never really clear on "what's coming". Doubt the glass will come with it!

    Also got quick response from Garcia people on whether or not vinyl and cd shipping together for garcialive 20. They made it sound like both are in one box.

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!
