    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 Bluecrow

    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!)

    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!

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!
