    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.

    Right back at you, Amigo! I could chat music all day.

    PT Barnum - It’s both cool and tragic seeing Richard Manuel’s last show. One for the ages.

    Incoming - Neil Young “Chrome Dreams”

    Greetings to You All.

    Just thought I might share a bit of news and perhaps, add to your music enjoyment and appreciation. Sixto Rodriguez, (Rodgriguez), crossed over a couple of days ago. If you are not familiar with him or his music and you have the time and patience, you might appreciate the documentary 'Searching for Sugar Man'.

    NPRdotorg had a nice write up yesterday.

    Hope Everyone has a beautiful day.

    only saw the Band twice

    once at the infamous last show of Richard Manuel and the set at Woodstock 94, Don't remember much about the Cheek to Cheek in Winter Park, Fl show, except we all thought it was far out that the Band was playing in such a small place, I mean only about 4 hundred people or so, it was a pretty classy place back then. No other memories remain.
    The show at Woodstock was really good, Bruce sits in and stays thru Bob and Rob's set, stepping in towards the end of the Band's set with and Eternity and I think a Fever and a Throwing Stones for the ages. That was such a good time, wish the entire Grateful Dead Band would have played but it was real nice that Bobby and Rob came out to play. Big Fun

    Happy Fri Yea Dead Freaks!

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!
