    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.

    Wow, there’s a blast from the past.
    One of my first concerts in 78 was Jethro Tull with UH opening.
    At one point, probably near the end of their set, UH were playing so loud they blew the power on the stage lol.
    Still have a little piece of the big balloons JT sent out into the crowd…

    Uriah Heep

    I missed 100's of band in the 70's, but the ones I saw or got albums by keep cropping up on here. Like Uriah Heep. They were a great live band and whenever they came to Manchester between 1973 and 1975 I traipsed off to see them. "Gypsy" was their magnum opus - very powerful live and the original version on "Very 'Eavy, Very 'Umble" is still jaw dropping. That's a great album by my 1970's standards - and "Look At Yourself" is also worth checking out, with the title track and "July Morning" featured. Life was so much simpler then. And so much louder.

    Thanks for the heads up - I’ll check it out later tonight at home.
    This site is getting pretty psychic lately - last week Gary and I are “hearing” the same song earworm, and now I’m driving playing Phish (“New Years Eve 1995”) when DMCVT’s note comes through.

    Selling Collections

    Looks like the bases have been covered.

    I never think about selling (yet). I guess it depends on if she wants maximum return on dollar or wants to brighten a heads day. Selling here would offer followers a good first shot. You hate to think you're doing a good deed passing something along to someone who really wanted it, only to see it on ehay for twice that the next day.

    I saw a week or so back someone had their entire collection up (decent collection),,, they wanted 17K.

    I leave the selling to my son. If he has kids someday, he can pass down,,,, if he wants to sell off,,,, well that's 100% profit to him regardless of price obtained.

    In the end,,, I'm dead and it don't matter. Could be a song there.....

    It don't matter to me if you sell my collection
    and it don't matter to me, because I'm dead and gone
    don't need money no more. Dead and gone, can't spend no more.
    Time ain't on my side.

    something like that anyway :-)

    ...Speaking of killer vocals. Uriah Heep anyone?? Surely David Byron qualifies??

    Another thought

    PF - I might be well out of order here, and I apologise if I am, but I wondered if it would it be acceptable to offer box sets for sale on here, given the circumstances you describe. If so there might be a fair few conditions - including not shipping outside the U.S. ,which would be fine by me. It was just a thought. Might be a hassle, thinking a bit more!

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!
