    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.

    Hate to disagree, but the Tim Burton/Johnny Depp version of Sweeney Todd sucked big moose dick!!!

    I don't and never will understand why you make a musical with people who can't sing!!! My Fair Lady anyone?

    Just for arguement sake I saw the original cast twice on Broadway. Johnny who?

    And the very worst part, the unforgiveable part, is that they cut the first act ending song, A Little Priest!!! Arguably the BEST song of the show.

    Now take this Burton/Depp abortion of a movie and never darken my doorway again with this kind of talk!

    It seemed to me at the time - 1975-1995 roughly, that listening to The Dead had a very positive effect on my life, and did influence the way I worked in my own very different sphere. But that influence came from listening to their records - on my own. Specifically, Anthem and Live Dead for the emphasis on improvisation, mind expansion etc, and American Beauty - for obvious reasons. I don't think seeing them live influenced me a jot though.

    Did not peak at the set list.
    Hell In A Bucket raging right out of the gate. Coincidence??
    Oh, and the bottom of the box tore on the edges on both sides. First world problems lol. Got glue?
    I am a Corinna fan yes. And I was at that Portland Meadows show Stoltz. Chuck Berry bitches! That was the first one. It was the better of the two and the fraying of the edges of the Persian rug was becoming apparent at that point in time. But goddamn if I didn't enjoy the ride.
    Damn. They were on 🔥 in 1990. ❤️ the second set Cumberlands. Kudos to whoevers idea that was.
    33 years later, Brent's We Can Run....still applies.

    I can only think I heard a snippet on the radio or something, or read something. That’s the thing about earworms - they come and go in their own time.
    But very weird we get the same one at the same time. Now, about those winning lottery numbers…

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!
