    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.

    Very sorry for your losses ... most of us from this cohort have by now experienced this profound sadness and there are few words that make it any better. Sometimes a soulful Brokedown Palace reflects the emotion, which helps me start the turn around. Hang in there man.............tcc

    However, much of the merch here brings out my cynical streak.

    Plastic SYF water bottle $29 (I made that up, but still)

    Gardening aprons!!! $??

    Music, however....I'm in.

    Thing about those, I tend to like the front designs but the back design is way too big and overpowers the front.

    If they had put a smaller version of the back design on the front breast pocket and the front design on the back it would have been better imho.

    $45, but I understand because the artists have to be paid...

    Sydney Prentice LOL to keep from crying...

    Hiya Folks...

    Hope everyone is doing well...been a while since I've posted...wasn't a great Summer for us here in Nappylandia...but the air is crisper, the elk are bugling and one of the local mountain tops was dusted with snow the other day so as the seasons change I'm feeling better...La Señora Nappy spent three weeks in Arkansas tending to her Mom who passed at the end of May...around the same time we had to say goodbye to Mr. Jinks, my bestest fur baby ever...after losing his Sister Violet last December we weren't ready by any means to deal with his brief illness and passing...he was my buddy boy for nearly 14 years...harsh...love our fur babies...anyway it was 56 years ago today (I think, either the 16th or 17th of September) that I got on the bus...the Airplane and Dead had done a gig at The Hollywood Bowl on the 15th and in response to the Bowl staff keeping folk from dancing in the aisles they put on a free show at Elysian Park in LA, right by Dodger Stadium...a bunch of us from my neighborhood went and we had a blast...I remember the Viola Lee and Pigpen's performance on Dancing In The Streets...and the following Monday I started my senior year in high school....again hope you're all doing well and groovin' on...

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!
