    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.

    Had them on my mind and meant to post for a couple of weeks. Maybe we do need to review the LSD/ESP shows. They are a great live band. Saw them in 1992 at a small college Fraternity House sponsored show. Was around 2,500 folks. And then in 2003, at a large city festival. Both shows were great. Have a tape of the 1992 show, in my still unopened box of old cassettes. Have a great soundboard of the Allman Brothers from March (?) 17th(?) 1970. Haven't heard in ages. Box has been sealed over 20 years. Who knows, maybe I have the fall 1980 masters. I also have an excellent December 30th 1986 board of the Nevilles opening for GD. It is a smoker. Again, sealed up.

    I’ve been dipping into ‘Everything keeps dissolving’ which is a book about Coil so I’ve re-listened to a couple of their more drone like albums
    ‘Time Machines’ - Coil
    ‘Queens of the circulating library’ - Coil

    One of the most recent releases on the Another Timbre label is by Morton Feldman, this led me to an old favourite
    Morton Feldman’s ‘Violin and String Quartet’ - Apartment House
    Morton Feldman’s ‘for Philip Guston’ - Breuer, Engler and Schrammel

    Then for something with more lyrics
    ‘City of gold’ - Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway.

    My #47 has apparently cleared customs in the UK so should be on its way soon. Given the mail that is not arriving (credit card bill for this month) I hope it will make it.

    I’ve heard Brent’s solo album

    It’s barely worth recording on Gramophone wax cylinders.
    Can’t believe Betty recorded over Fall 80 live shows for a crappy stint in the studio by Brent.

    It's true, they did record over many of the fall 80 MT's for the new Brent Studio Album.

    Fear not.. it turns out I just unearthed a banana box in my attic with the missing Fall 80 reels, replaced with the new Brent Album studio album, fully mastered and complete. All they need is artwork, a fancy box glued together with discs stuffed inside while the glue is still oozing and hot.

    Meaning, this lost Brent album will finally happen Rhino style. I am fedex'ing tomorrow to Lemieux for immediate release.

    Agree with BTK's 79 title and choice.

    Am berry, berry behind in my listening.. I just finished ripping the Sunshine Box, DaP47 and the last two Jerry releases.. what I want to know .... where did the time go.

    Would love a field trip to the vault.. it would be a good Bolo puzzle prize, wouldn't it?

    (no disrespect meant to Brent.. love the guy, if I could go back in time he'd have all the blank 24 track reels he would ever need). I'm partial to the Spartan Stadium show.. one of my early tapes. I got that and Maples Pavilion 2/9/73 the same day. They both hold a special place in my heart and mind.

    They played at the zoo recently and my daughter was one of the security detail at the front of the stage.

    I saw a video that has her on the lower right frame with John Popper and band upper left.

    That was very cool to see.

    First set down the hatch....

    ....minor flubs but decent.
    I will agree that the vox, especially Weir's are very up front, but that's what an EQ is for.
    I admittingly have Grateful Dead burnout after my recent trip. I sometimes have too much too fast. It happens to the best of me.
    Second set will have to wait a minute.
    Been on a Blues Traveler kick since about an hour ago.

    Thank you for the list, IceCream

    Seeing 2/17/79 and 4/22/79 gives me hope that that could be the "doozy" release as a twofer.

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!
