    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.

    Early Police - Curved Air - The Cramps

    Gary - I think The Police formed towards the end of 1977. Curiously the three band members, together with Mike Howlett of Gong, played as Strontium 90, and supported Gong at their reunion gig May 1977. So I would think they chnged direction and renamed the band towards the end of '77.

    The other day I was listening To Curved Air's excellent Live, from1974. Stewart Copeland was the drummer at this time, as well as being married to stunning vocalist, Sonja Christina. I don't know if Curved Air were well known in America - they were a prog band from the early 70's. A few great tracks-"Vivaldi-Everdance" from this live album is great.

    Truth be told, I was more interested in The Cramps than The Police. I saw them in 1981 for the first time, and then about another 6 times after that. I remember the name of Southern Culture On The Skids, but never got round to checking them out. Maybe my job for this morning. It's great when you're retired !

    ....the s comment make me laugh.
    Goose? They are pretty good, but tend to noodle just a wee bit much. No offense Sixtus. The peaks, however, were very.....peaky and the bass player can drop some legit Bombs. I can appreciate that.
    Was talking with a younger couple from SLC. Told them it was my first Goose show, however, I did manage to catch the Dead sixty times. Blew their minds. Older music fan telling tales. I felt like Galdalf. We talked until the start of the set. Hello Anthony & Jacqueline. Y'all cool as fuck.

    Excellent catch on the when the world is running down...had to chase that rabbit.

    I always thought (when I was a kid) that it was..."you make the best lover still around."

    Dang now "Canary in a coal mine" in my head.

    Havent listened to Zenyatta Mondatta in many years.

    DR: when was the Police's first English Tour? 1976? or maybe 1977...

    Sure the Cramps were full of piss and vinegar. We have something sort of similar: A Band Named Southern Culture on the Skids. They are touring east coast. I saw them several times in the most dive bar you can imagine. Basically a bar around here that I would say, reminds me of CBGB's. Fun as hell, nasty as sh!t.

    Not sure where else to put this, but I am looking forward to 30 Days of Dead almost more than Dave's 48. Let me smoke about it for a while, then I will decide. I've kept my records the past few years, and I usually average about 33%. I don't use enough of the available tools, but I just enjoy the ride.

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!
