    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 suffer from vertigo....

    ....the upper bowl at T-Mobile is also pretty steep. But after about ten minutes, I don't even notice.
    The Miami Marlins can punch their ticket to the post-season today btw. October is a sports fans favorite month.
    Plus, Halloween decorations are awesome.
    Chase Center. Heard it's steep as hell with a three foot barrier apparently. A person at a Phish show there in 2021 jumped off it. A bunch of spun fans there witnessed it and decided to leave. Look it up.

    VGuy, the Chase Center in San Francisco is also very steep. We saw D&Co there for NYE and I was stunned at the height of the nosebleeds.

    One of the best things about the 50th Anniversary release of that David Bowie show from 1973 is that it is of the whole show. It includes the "Jean Genie" with Jeff Beck that has never officially been released before. I haven't bought this yet - but hopefully the picture will be a bit better than the dvd, which I thought was a bit grainy.
    A good recent live concert on blu ray is "Meltdown" - King Crimson Live in Mexico a couple of years ago.

    Dang might have to drop to take away fear of heights...

    I couldnt go there if it has height and no hand rails.

    ....looks kinda steep but damn. Very impressive.
    If you suffer from vertigo, appears that it can be overwhelming.

    Thanks for the reminder of the TAMI show. I had a VHS tape of it a long time ago, really enjoyed it. Just ordered the "collector's edition" from Amazon.

    Bob Dylan Surprise appearance at Farm Aid

    All you Dylan heads are probably aware of Dylan's appearance at Farm Aid. I recommend a blog" called "Flagging Down the Double-E's" which features an interview with the bassist for the band which reveals how the surprise appearance came about. Here's a a little excerpt from the blog:
    "As if that wasn’t surprising enough, he played accompanied by two longtime members of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers: Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench, both of whom he’d toured with extensively in the ‘80s. Alongside them were the rest of Campbell’s current band The Dirty Knobs: Bassist Lance Morrison, guitarist Chris Holt, and drummer Steve Ferrone (himself a latter-day Heartbreaker following Stan Lynch’s departure).

    They performed three songs, all ‘60s classics: “Maggie’s Farm,” “Positively 4th Street,” and “Ballad of a Thin Man.” The first two of those Dylan hasn’t played in over a decade. Another surprise. And, oh yeah, one more: He played guitar on all three."
    Dylan hadn't played guitar in 10 years. The blog also has video of the three songs.

    Non-GD concert videos

    I recently ordered the remastered Ziggy Stardust Movie - 50th CD/Bluray but haven’t received it yet.
    I like the DVD a lot, looking forward to the remastered Blu-ray.

    Yes, The Who Isle of Wight is great.

    Rush 40 - 6-Blu-ray Box is awesome if you can find it.

    The First Waltz - Hard Working Americans is a good concert/documentary video.

    Sunshine Daydream CD/DVD - I saw several on Amazon the other day, new, not overpriced.

    $100 for parking

    I will walk, thank you.

    Better yet, say phu'q to U2 and spend the day at Valley of Fire State Park with a "snack" or two and then enjoy "Closing of Winterland"

    Obeah bringing straight analysis :) I love speculation about picks...

    p.s. That Stella Blue at the end of 47 is really quite nice.

    Who would pay $100 to park a car? Who would do that?

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!
