    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.

    shipping notice

    I got my shipping notice for DaP 47 on 7/26. However I have no estimates as to when it will make its way to me. I am guessing I may get by Saturday of next week at the earliest. However sometimes I get surprised and things get here faster than expected.

    I am looking forward to this one and it will be a nice change up from the HCS box. I am not complaining at all about those shows form that box, they are all awesome, but I like the variety. I still think 1979 is a under the radar year especially the early and late fall tours.

    As for 48, Dave L said it going to be a really good one (I can't recall his exact words from his riverside chat), but I am curious. I feel like it is going to be a pre-hiatus based on Dave's excitement. Maybe we are getting the 7/28/73 show with the 7/27 soundcheck? I am not sure as we already are getting a healthy dose of 1973 this year. I know we all talk and speculate as to when the rest of the "big" and highly regarded shows will get released and 7/28/73 is certainly one of them. However I know that there is a lot of shows left in that category so it could be anything. I like the 1968 prospects, and of course 1970 has gems that are waiting to get out. Then there are more for 1972, 1973 and 1974. Everyone's opinions differ, but there is no shortage of long desired and overdue to be released shows.

    Glad UPS didn't have to strike. I hope they got what they needed.

    I’ll see yer 10/15/76

    and raise ya a 9/26/76…

    Love 7/18/76! Perhaps my favorite 76. But don’t want it released. Why not you rightly ask?
    Because there’s only so many picks left and I already have such a good copy lol

    47: starting its journey…I’m starting to get the anticipation “vibe”. Have listened to the shows around it and rehashed DaP 31 last week. Really not bad, just something…? Can’t explain?
    Prolly just hung up on what should get released lol
    Hell I even hit Bill Ricka last week

    48: I’m guessing 9/26/91 or 10/31/91. He’s gotta do 91 sometime.
    Though 6/22 could be wildcard…
    There’s DATs right, so WTFN?

    It was one of my most listened to tape back in the day. 11/6/77 broome was another one listened to at Davco farm in Southborough, Massachusetts keg parties in the 80's. Like anyone cares, but you could see Mt. Wachussett at the top of Davco hill. Sweet.

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!
