    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 see that Oro posted the connection to the list

    That’s a list of what is believed to be returned by ABCD.
    I don’t know if ABCD ever released an official list.

    I’ve never seen a list of the Vault contents. I doubt that the Vault Masters would ever give that out in its entirety.
    I don’t think that OSF will say what all was contained in Bear’s collection either.

    Vault list? + Pure Jerry

    Can anyone direct me to a list(s) of what's in the vault? I know there's a recent Deadcast episode about the vault that features Lemieux, Gans, Rhoney Stanley, and Latvala's widow. But I'm wondering if a list exists, esp if it shows details like if a show has cassette masters etc. Thanks advance if you can help. I've poked around but have come up empty, other than various blogs which discuss specific shows.

    As to Pure Jerry at the Warner Theater, yes indeed, that was the 6th release in the series - it dropped back in summer of 2005. That show will always have a special place in my heart. Harder They Come and Mission were the filler tracks on my cassette copy of 12/31/78 Set 3. That was one of the first live GD tapes I ever had, and I don't think it left my Walkman for 3 months straight. To this day I feel like I have every single note and beat of Mission memorized...

    I always heard the multis were reused but there were supposedly some cassettes…
    Think Conekid or someone has posted what’s been returned and I seem to recall there were some cassettes…
    Think the 2 acoustic sets they released a couple years ago are from cassette?

    Yeah, they erased some of the tapes for his solo album, but maybe they have cassette backups as well. I'm not sure.. They used cassette backups for this latest Dave's Pick #47, so maybe they have the same thing for the Warfield Theatre shows. I'm not sure, It m just wondering.

    From what I heard, a lot of these tapes were erased and used for Brent's solo album, which of course never saw the light of day. If so, that would be a huge waste.

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!
