    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.

    Re: Blues for Allah

    Good idea Vguy, gonna pop on the SACD version I got a couple years ago, love how those SACDs can play in car, stereo, or DVD/BluRay and still impart some of that awesomeness in the car stereo. If I make the drive long enough, might just take the SACD of Wish You Were Here as well... Shine On and Blues would make for a helluva mashup...

    I listen to this last night looking at the Blue Moon. Amazing Jerry. This release continues to blow my doors away! Incredible show. Looking forward to that other one Dave teased about!

    Dave's #48 ?

    I think Dave's #48 will be from 1968 or 1970. If its from 1970, hopefully its 9/20/70, what a fantastic acoustic set!

    My initial impression was that this was a decent release, but I am now amending my view to state that this is a sub-par release. Outside of the Shakedown Street, this one doesn't offer any superlative versions of anything. I am sure it was a fine concert to attend, but this one just doesn't do it for me. I like the Uptown Theater release and the late December shows (one DiP and one RT) better for late 79. It is ok, but probably won't get a lot of listens over time.

    Subscriber since year 3 and this is the first year that has me wondering if I am going to subscribe again next year. I am feeling a bit over-saturated and this year's shows are just not grabbing my attention like others. 2022 was a stellar year with that 'perfect' Baltimore show, Winterland 2/74, amazing newfound gems with the Carousel and SMU 1969 shows, and the Oregon 1990 show is a good late Brent show. I am hardly listening to this year's releases. I may save my funds for the boxes in the future as I end up passing on a lot of those due to familial obligations. That said, I like getting 4 shows in my mailbox throughout the year with minimal effort on my part. We'll see what 48 has in store for us and how 49 looks, but am leaning against a sub again next year.

    The Last 5 Pecking Order

    The last 5, including some “deep dive” Phish
    - Page McConnell - S/T
    - Trey Anastasio - Paper Wheels
    - Oysterhead - The Grand Pecking Order
    - Wayne Shorter - Native Dancer
    - Grateful Dead - DaP 47

    Two cents - I really like a concert, or an album, that comes out of the gate charging, like race horses at the starting line. Fast, grabs you right from the get go. While DaP 47 certainly is a decent release, and I was excited for the Alabama Getaway opener, the song really sounded anemic, almost mailed in, and a lot of that had to do with Brent’s rinky dinky keyboards on the tune. IMHO, I really thought his keyboard choices took great performances down a notch.

    On this week's GD Hour. Some interesting mash-ups.
    6-24-23 Boston - DS/ Big River Jam>TOO Jam
    6-27-23 Noblesville - Big River>DS (in big river groove time)
    Some Bob and John M. interviews about these.
    7-1-23 Boulder - Sugar Mag>Scarlet Begonias>Sunshine Daydream
    Nice fresh little taste for those of us who didn't go or stream.
    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!
