    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.

    Love It To Death

    Mr Ones - that's encouraging. I've never actually heard a live Alice Cooper album, and I did wonder what these two discs would be like. If they cut the mustard or not. I'm surprised you mentioned them jamming - that's not what I would have expected.
    These were again albums I loved in my teens - those and "Love It To Death", but apart from these three, I never listened to them much after that. I wasn't so keen on "Billion Dollar Babies" and have never heard an album by them, or should I say him, since.
    But most albums I liked between the ages of 15-18 still sound good to me. Even though...

    DAVEROCK, I had to buy both Alice Cooper cds. The live material was a real treasure. Those cats could JAM!! You will not be disappointed.
    Anyone else curious what #48 will be?? How about a little 1970??

    I haven't bought them yet, but I noticed 2 Alice Cooper albums from that era and world, "Killer" and "School's Out" came out recently with bonus live discs.

    I take half hour walks every day weather permits, its my chosen exercise. I listen to podcasts during my walk. Ever since the Good Ol' Grateful Podcast began, that's my go-to cast. I just returned from my walk today, and really enjoyed a detailed breakdown of all the parts and instruments that made up Mississippi Half Step. Wonderful!

    New Dead Head TV uploaded for streaming

    Up on our site dreamswedreamed dot com this week:

    "Deadhead 101: Giving deadheads credit" PART ONE
    This is a two part interview with Sociology professor Rebecca Adams about her 1989 sociology courses where students practiced sociology by going on Summer Tour and studying the deadhead subculture. They chartered a bus and followed the band to six concerts.

    The Dead News September 1989

    Enjoy!

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!
