    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.

    Yeah the 7/1 show was excellent.

    I really enjoy the band.

    Only critique, I wish John had spent some time with Trey Anastasia. I wish John had picked up on a lot of Jerry's effects. I am certain Big Steve could have helped with which pedals to use. And Trey could have shown him how to program and use. Would love to hear Jerry effects particularly in the late 1970's - 1980's. Maybe a touch of Midi.

    But wow, the stuff Jerry could do with Tiger.

    Rockplast show.

    I watched a couple of years ago, maybe an upgrade?

    Love it, cause they mixed Townsend out of the mix. I am guessing he was constantly interupting/overtaking the show.

    Love Townsend and the Who. Guess this was a reslut of the Day on the Green shows?

    I read a long time ago, that the dead had to set-up a side stage for themselves; and around 30,000-40,000 showed for the dead and another 20,000 or so showed up for the Who only. Losers...

    Can anyone confirm the side stage? BTK, maybe you know???

    Never been a big fan of the toy piano sound (or of the synth-pop 80s sound in general).
    I don’t loathe it like some, but I don’t love it the way others do either.
    Despite that, Dave’s 31 quickly became an unexpected repeat play.
    This one rides that same vibe nicely.
    Great energy all around.
    Digging it so far.

    For those interested, there’s an upgraded video on the Tube of the 1981 Rockpalast show with Townsend. Very nice quality.

    Mikaela Davis is awesome. I was fortunate enough to catch her with Bob and the Wolf brothers.

    The PO Box Wednesday, but so far behind on music, crazy with floods and storms this summer, only half way into the HCS box. I did check that there was no glue and no scratches on any of the DaP 47 discs.... hmmmmm. K.I.S.S. packaging, what Oro said.

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!
