    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.

    8 4 76 also has video

    Its black and white, but with today's technology it should be clean-up-able

    If an 8/4 show is released...

    ...it must be 8/4/76. My favorite '76 show. Phil sounds spectacular on that youtube video, especially that grooving Scarlet, the massive Help> Slip> Frank> Dancin> Samson sequence. This show may require 4 cds, but that's not been a problem, and may generate some filler (maybe finish 7/16/76 from DaP 18?). That show deserves release.

    Anybody excited for the belated Who's Next/Lifehouse Super Deluxe? Not sure why it's 300 bucks, but looks pretty awesome. Will gladly take on any unreleased Keith Moon, John Entwistle, especially in that time period. There's also an outtake of one of my favorite Who songs, Put the Money Down, definitely looking forward to that. One of Daltrey's most powerful vocals, and one of their most underrated songs.

    People inquire about Gainesville

    We should also inquire about 2/17/79

    Great show, release worthy

    Paired with 4 22 79 has been suggested previously

    Fun show, I was lucky to be there. 2/17/79 is the one that should be released, I was lucky to be there also.

    '79, the debut of The Tiger IMO the best sounding guitar Jerry owned. It had a very distinctive tone to it.

    Things like that happen. It's eerie when they do, for certain. I love it.

    Red Rocks 79 was my first RR too. Boy was I disappointed when it was rained out and we had to head indoors to McNichols Arena. Returned to Red Rocks several times, lots of fun times.

    *Re/ Sam Cutler RIP

    …yes, on July 11th I lost a dear longtime family friend,Sam Cutler, which I’m still deeply mourning. He truly was the best of the best! hired by the Grateful Dead as their tour manager. He went on to become a co-manager of the band (with Jon McIntire and David Parker) and eventually became their agent and tour manager
    Cutler organised the Dead's appearances at a number of events including: the 1970 Festival Express Tour of Canada, The Summer Jam at Watkins Glen and the 1972 European Tour of the Grateful Dead, the musical results of which can be heard on the Dead's triple live album Europe '72’
    Through his company, Out of Town Tours, Cutler coordinated the appearances of Grateful Dead, The Band, The Allman Brothers, The New Riders of the Purple Sage, The Sons of Champlin, Mike Bloomfield, Ramblin' Jack Elliott and others.
    In 2006, Cutler collaborated with Melbourne (Australia) indie-rock group Black Cab on the track "Valiant" which appeared on the band's 2006 release Jesus East. In the track, Cutler reminisces on his days with the Grateful Dead and preaches advice for the kids of today. Cutler toured around Australia and Asia promoting his book lately. May he rest in peace the giant rock concert in the sky!
    Have a great full weekend everyone peace be with you! Don’t forget to keep on smile smile smile! 🙏❤️🌹💀

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!
