    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 . . .

    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.

    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.

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!
