    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.

    1st time, but long-time

    having recently defected from the working world, I am beginning to appreciate the need to spend some time & space filling that void; I've spent many a year (lol decades) collecting "live dead", and appreciating the only band in American covering all american music genres: blues, country, disco, folk, jazz, ragtime, rap, rock...my friends always busted on me when I would tell them to listen to Pigpen's rap...so hey now, "the time is right" to join, and maybe share some interesting or laughable comments, remarks, or just utterances. Peace! PS always have enjoyed reading members "last 5"

    I think it would have to be; 26, Albuquerque - epic show - plus a disc with Pigpen.. 29: Swing - great, great 77 show with the possible greatest "Dew" of them all as bonus.. and (drumroll..) 37; William and Mary 78 - only "dew" of that year and some strong bonus - my farvorite Sugaree..

    Jim/Terps/7th games

    Jim, my Maryland brother, of COURSE I cannot forget U of MD. Over the last 50+ years, I have rooted for and enjoyed their men’s & women’s BB soccer & lacrosse teams. In addition to football, baseball & softball teams.
    Got my 2nd listen of WOTF Disc 2 tonight (saving Disc 1 for tomorrow), and I’m liking it more than yesterday. Nothing negative to say. It’s a much welcomed snippet of ‘73 greatness.
    I attended the 7th game of the 1979 World Series, which we ALSO lost to Pittsburgh, and I ALSO missed it by that much. Damn, only 1 series victory since then, but I’m feeling one this decade for sure, maybe this year, more likely ‘24 or ‘25.
    Music is the Best!!
    Sports isn’t too shabby either, especially if you love constant heartache!! 😭😱🤷🏼

    Someone mentioned the new British Blues collection here a while back can’t remember who. It came today quite nice. There could be a lot of why nots and how comes but I have most of them on old vinyl , The Anthology of BB from the late 60s is a favorite and plays great after 50+ years. Last century and beginning of this they released a lot of stuff on cd. Graham Bond Cyril Davies Tony McPhee JoAnn and Dave Kelly as well as the usual suspects TYA Animals. Anyway this 3cd set has a bunch I don’t have and a nice booklet. Good price and worth getting if you’re so inclined

    ....not worried.
    There is this band called Goose playing tonight. Gonna see what all the hub-bub is about. Going in blind. I'll figure it out on the way.
    Can you Diggs it. That's the fifth time I've heard that today.
    KEMO was present and accounted for.
    I do not doubt the sound. I search for it all the damn time. I saw that portal btw. Oh shit.
    So many possibilities regarding what an artist/band can put up on that 360 degree screen. It's only just begun.

    ThatMike - hey, don't mind me- I'm just peeved cause I can't join in!

    Sphere - is this recorded music played in a large venue with visuals projected on to a screen? If so, I'm not so sure it would appeal to me. I like random images on T.V. while I am listening to music - but I have never been too keen on images chosen by other people to go along with music. I was never too keen when they started imposing vaguely psychedelic images onto the screen during those films of Dead shows in the View From The Vault series. Light shows at gigs are another matter.

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!
