    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.

    I found the Dylan Budokan box set on Amazon right after reading Colin’s note, and then I received the email from Dylan’s site, which has track listings etc.
    There is also a large retrospective book coming in October on Dylan covering much of the archival material that is going to his official Library in Tulsa, entitled “Mixing Up The Medicine”, over 600 pages, but pricey. There is also a one disc “retrospective” of maybe a dozen of his more popular songs that can also be purchased to accompany the book. I ordered the book maybe two months ago, but it is definitely on Amazon.

    Hey…

    Where’s the Napster?
    Hopefully Mr Jinx didn’t finally waylay Nappy and Mrs Nappy and has taken over their home and converted it into a kitty drinking/gambling/whoring emporium?

    Thanks.

    It has been ordered. Got the "box" and the vinyl "highlights".

    Took a while to find on amazon! Found it via another site. After ordering, got email from dylan site with order info :-)

    I was intrigued by the complete album collection/box. All the Dylan albums for 250. Maybe for christmas.

    Complete Budokan 1978 box due out in November. I have the Japanese LP release that came out in 1979(?). I enjoyed that.

    Nishimura Just Passing Through

    Venus is very beautiful and prominent in the sky, and the comet Nishimura is expected to be equally bright (although comets are often oversold).
    Nishimura will make its closest approach to Earth on Sept. 12, coming within about 125 million kilometres of our planet. But the more important date is Sept. 17, when it will be less than 34 million kilometres from the sun at the closest point in its orbit. That’s when it will potentially glow the brightest – but also when it will be easy to lose in the light of dawn. So a few days before (or just before sunset a few days after) might be a better bet.

    My Listen of the Day - Bar 17, by Trey Anastasio. I cannot believe I took so long to “get” Phish, but now that I do, there is some extraordinary solo work there, too. I picked this one up used, and he is simply an incredibly talented guitarist and arranger. The lyrics kind of blow, seems to be a Phish thing, but the music is truly first rate. Can be played at dawn, or shortly after sunset.

    A beautiful sight.

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!
