    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.

    ....to be expected I guess. It's cool. Of the other three AFC East teams, I detest the Bills the least. Great Marino/Kelly games back in the day. The other two? Dead to me. Dolphins looking pretty good. So Far.
    Condolences to Mr & Mrs Nappy and Proutfoot. I'm admittingly a mommas boy. She turned 84 on the Veneta anniversary. Lost my dad in 2011. Alzheimers. But I've posted this before.

    A mind is a terrible thing to waste lol

    Remember those commercials…we used to say “depends on how you waste it” of course not as funny now as way back then, kinda like playing tackle football in the street, Doah.

    Yeah, the crap center, never heard anything good about the scene/place. Just figured being home field etc.
    That’s why we never did any shows on the actual cost other than the Rectum and Hampton, well Merriweather in 85 I guess counts? Not sure what was up with Philly, but somehow saw more there (13 dead and 1 JGB) than anywhere else?
    Yeah the big cities scared us away, Too much of everything: people, energy, cops, crime, and costly hotels versus cheap or free camping etc. Surely missed lots of killer shows because of, but always felt our methodology of trying to find the cool under the radar places versus the big city shows was sound. Though still can’t believe I didn’t do Roanoke 87, double Doah!

    Could be, he's not running as much as the other players so he might have considerations that differ from the average player. I didn't know many teams still used turf in the NFL. A tragedy for him and Jets fans, nobody likes to see someone injured like that.

    One of my show seeing buddies severed his Achillies Tendon back in the day. I helped cart him around to several shows during his recovery. Cheers, Michael!

    Sept 88 Cap Centre Shows

    I know I was not at 9/3/88. I never got to see the Grateful Dead play Ripple. I saw Jerry play it once or twice acoustic, but never the GD.

    I am not sure which of the other two (if either) I went to. I know I have written about this before, but I was not a fan of the Capital Centre; bad acoustics and aggressive cops on horseback. DC shows in general had bad vibes for me, the last time I was at RFK, before the show someone in the crowd whipped a coke bottle and hit a cop very hard directly in the head, took him down.. and his partner immediately pulled his gun and said "Freeze or I will shoot you in the head." I was at the summer 86 shows at RFK too the last before Jerry went into his coma.

    It could be I passed on the 88 Cap Centre or it might have been the semester I came down with a nasty and slow recovering bout with mono. Maybe I need to take one of those made from Jellyfish memory enhancement supplements. My memory of the 80's isn't what it used to be. Signs of a misspent youth perhaps...

    Why was A. Rogers wearing grass cleats on a turf field?
    I've sold them all and he was wearing a pair of long cleated grass shoes.
    Maybe can't plant properly with turf shoes?
    Cheers

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!
