    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.

    LEGENDARY

    If I could keep only ten shows, 12 31 76 would be one of them.

    Anniversary show 8/16/91 Shoreline

    32 years ago today, my brother and I were out at Shoreline for a knockout show with the Good old Grateful Dead. We had seats right down in the front. When the Dead did a 1st set Dark Star into Promised Land the place exploded. One of my favorite moments seeing the Grateful Dead.

    Nice Conekid. You should pick some up. It is a short season for Octoberfest, August and September. I picked some up a couple weeks ago and still have some Oberon. Unfortunately no twelve packs of Octoberfest in MN this year.

    Enjoying the the new DP and the HCS box. I’ve been revisiting other 73 gems in between: Tom Waits Closing Time, Stevie’s Innervisions, Carole King’s Fantasy, Al Green’s Call Me, and let’s not forget about Rush playing NFA in 1973, searchable on the YT.

    Saw a few stacks of Bell’s Ocktoberfest in the store today.
    I bought the last 12 of Oberon at that store.

    Gee, thanks, Oro.

    Maybe it was all of the hockey talk ;)))

    Weezer...saw them at Bumbershoot festival in...2012? 2013? 2011? As I recall, they opened for Hole. (Courtney Love? Back cover of Aoxomoxoa?)

    Not very memorable, in my opinion.

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!
