"Basketball and music have always been alike for me, the celebration of life and all other good things. These two art forms represent the best of teamwork, constant motion, creativity, leadership, communication, focus, execution, friendship, loyalty, cooperation, hope, opportunity, purpose, sacrifice, discipline, honor, and fun. Fun to play. Fun to practice. UCLA and the Grateful Dead embody the highest levels of this celebratory joy. At UCLA, it was endless fun, every day, in every way. We couldn’t wait to get there, to get going — though it was never as much fun as when the Grateful Dead came to play with and for us." - Bill Walton
Is there anyone who knows the acoustics of Pauley Pavilion better than Bill "Grateful Red" Walton? We think not, so we signed him on as a liner note scribe for DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 48, the complete previously unreleased show from UCLA's Pauley Pavilion 11/20/71. He was there, after all, "driftin' and dreamin'" as the Dead shape-shifted through a first set of Americana classics from WORKINGMAN'S DEAD and AMERICAN BEAUTY into their second one featuring truly primal psychedelic jams (a 23+ minute "The Other One"). They peppered in hot takes on tracks from the recently released SKULL & ROSES ("Bertha," "Me And My Uncle," "Not Fade>GDTRFB") and road-tested tunes like "Ramble On Rose" and "Tennessee Jed" that would make the cut on the following year's EUROPE '72. It's all delivered with such precision that we've had to come up with some overtime for disc three. There you'll find 75+ minutes of music from the Kiel Opera House, St. Louis, MO, 10/24/70, with the rest of the show due sometime in the near future.
Limited to 25,000 numbered copies, DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 48: PAULEY PAVILION 11/20/71 was recorded by Rex Jackson and has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering.
What is up with the posting blues
We aren't selling state secrets here
State Secrets
These aren't state secrets?
Well.... I'm not cutting my rates, I guess we've had these guys fooled all this time. No wonder the world is so flucked up, they apparently believe us.
Speaking of SS…
…guess Bolo must be on real cloak and dagger shit, that or the bastards got him?
He’s never been gone this long so you have to wonder with all the mayhem across the globe if the ole boy is bogged down in the shit mire?
Someone discovered what's in Marcel Wallace's briefcase....
....it's the only logical answer.
There are 1970 reels out there. Aliens recorded them because they recognized the good shit.
Huge game tomorrow re Dolphins/Eagles. Time to put up or shut up.
Palestines vs Israelites. A tale as old as time. Both need to get their shit together. Good luck with that. Sigh.
Praise from me to...

2nd try - Warming up for some more 71
12-14-71 playing now
10-31-71% played before that (looking forward to the vinyl)
For my 1st attempt I was told that my reCRAPTCHA answer was incorrect, even though I hadn’t yet been shown the quiz.
Lets see if this works
45 years ago we went to a building on the corner of Post & Steiner in S.F and had a blast!
Day Late…Dollar Short
I am coming to Dave’s 48 with no overloaded expectations, but I know I will love it!!
Regarding lids: One of my favorite Dragnet episodes was when Sgt. Friday attended college courses at night, and caught a student with a “lid” of grass”. The episode had a great ending and I won’t spoil it.
More great Dead music in less than 2 weeks!!
Life is good and…
Music is the Best!!
No You Don’t!!
Apparently, we are no longer allowed to use the symbol for ‘number’ anymore. Sheesh!!
Truckin' Up to Buffalo
Came in yesterday, have to say a beautiful package.
It's maybe 13 x 13,,, a chunk bigger than lp size. Made like an old photo album. Hinges open with 5 lps in separted cardboard sleeves (all have cover picture)
Cardboard cover is that thick stock with a clear coating.
A very pretty box.
Oh, number 148!
Oteil where art thou
Has anyone gotten the Oteil does Jerry stuff?
Enjoyer's Club Member here
Count me amongst the enjoyers of recent posts. And I have to say, it's made me smile seeing folks offer to use their US-based addresses as destinations for products that can't be directly shipped to the UK, for example. Everybody's playing in the Heart of Gold Band...
And all this talk of '71 is making me want to get on board. I think I'll start by giving a listen to the Austin Road Trips release. I only added it to my collection recently, and I'm still largely unfamiliar with it. Similarly, although Dave's 26 has been in my collection since release, it is criminally underplayed. My brain is just so hardwired to think "Felt Forum" as soon as it hears "Late '71"
It's been a '74 weekend around these here parts, first because I realized there was a Hunter's Trix release of 8/4, and then I prevailed upon my wife to watch The Grateful Dead Movie with me as a birthday present (my birthdate being the anniversary of "The Last One"). I'd completely forgotten that scene where Garcia returns to the dressing room and tears about the place until he leaves again in frustration bc he can't find "water; just ice cold, clean water" :)
'71 is the One....
Love 1971 Shows !,,,About the time I got on the Bus...Saw my 1st show in 1973,,,, Some of my Favorite Years,,,Garcia Playing His Strat, and One Drummer...Billy Boy !...Nice Clean Sound in those early days,,,A Great choice I must say...Thank You for putting out a Great Year for the Good 'Ol Grateful Dead as We used to say back in the Day,

Problems posting
Well, I for one have written several messages that the linq identifier rejected, despite no linqs or any such thing in the body of the message. I keep editing the message and trying to submit, before usually giving up and trying to remember what it was and typing it again a day or so later. It's frustrating, especially when there's no actual guideline or red line underneath the offending comment, word, suspected linq, or whatever it is, just the same, stupid, message about keeping the interwebs safe or some crap.
ETA: of course, it didn't happen this time
A.I. run amuck lol
Me too, Hellava time posting lately.
One time I had to change/edit Skull**** (had to change to this)
It’s like captc been captured, the singularity has begun lol
Whoa I’m getting freaked out mannn ; )
Rejected
I have had a few certainly clean posts fly back at me recently also. It's getting to the point where I have to use the wayback machine to go back in time to save a post so it goes through cleanly.
Don't get me wrong, we want to be able to post safely.. perhaps the new algorithm blocks posts created when you are smiling on a cloudy day.
Have a grateful week all. It's great to see a super positive vibe here. In a world of conflict, turmoil and trouble, the last great refuge is the Grateful Dead.
postings
Whenever you post something or send a letter or Email on a Computer or even in regular mail Take a photo of it or Copy and paste it somewhere. Many times I have spent hours writing something and after it failed to send or other reasons it gets lost or deleted and you never can remember what you wrote after spending hours writing it
Copy it take a photo of it
Marye -Problems posting
Marye- In response to your last post, have had a problem with sending PM's over the last few days. In 5 attempts, only one has got through. I normally get that "Hey now" message, which is quite annoying. How are we suppose to respond to that? Just say "Hey now..that's okay!" I suppose.
After the failures on the PM board I came on here - but I was blocked and the fake friendly "Hey now" message appeared again. So I gave up
That feeling of rejection
If I have long things to type about, I type them into a word/text file..
I've been burned by the long thing rejected and can't remember all the points made.
At least from a word/text file I can copy and paste in the post box.
posting problems
I've also had this problem lately - as recently as yesterday. I was trying to reply to Oroborous and the suggestion of a Fall '89 box set. My post had lots of dates and venues, but that's it... the closest thing I could see that might be objectionable was a mention of a somewhat famous internet resource that was popular around that time (The W E L L) but I deleted that and mentions of a certain usenet msg board (I'm now leaving that vague ref here to see what happens) and it still wouldn't let me post.
Posting problems
The problem I have the most is a message that says I answered the reCRAPTCHA answer wrong, even though I was never even shown the question.
In those cases I copy the text, log out, clear browsing history, log back in, and paste the text. Usually works.
Recently I’ve had a few messages like other people are getting that accuses me of using lynx or embeds, even though I’m not.
Of course, I pasted a lynk the other day by making various changes including ‘dot’ instead of .
Then got penalized on my next post after that.
Now, let’s see if I get rejected with this post…..
Posting thoughts....
....a lot of times I'll post something. Then right after, I'll remember something else that I want to add, then edit it. Then I do it again. This doesn't just occur on this site.
For example, I edited this four times. ADHD does that.
Posting blues
You write something innocuous and then you get "hey now blah blah no posting for you ..."
(I always hated that "hey now" expression except in the song itself....get off my lawn)
Like Dennis
I started composing text in a file that can be saved whenever the I know the post will be a long/involved because I had too many that wouldn't post or might get lost. This started before recraptcha stuff.
Since then, I have started to try to organize some of these, as sometimes new posts have things that might relate to old posts.
If any of this can be followed/understood, Congrats. I am not sure right now if I am making sense or have stopped making sense.
well if mentioning the WELL gets you in trouble
My post was for Daverock, not Dave L, btw...
Looks like they capped the size of private messages. I broke it down in 5 messages.
I think I'm done with with Dead dot net. So long
2024 Subscription=1985
I just saw Dave L's seaside chat for the 2024 subscription. Finally, Vol. 49 is 2 complete shows from 1985 at the Frost! I am pumped up for this as I have been requesting 1985 shows for about 3 years. Of course Dave eluded to Vol. 50 with the bonus disc being a big one given the milestone. I also think we are getting something between 90-95 for Vol. 51, based on what Dave says on his seaside chat. I am guessing that will likely be a Bruce and Vince show as we have yet to get that in the Dave's Picks series. Good times all around!
hey now this
New chat? Box sets available? I can't find the former & didn't get an email about the latter. Not even sure I can post this, I keep getting hey now'd
Dave's 49 and 2024 subs video
Was unable to find with a search, but happened upon a new Bill Walton video introducing DaP 48 in his own unique way, and in the midst of it, a linq popped up that said Dave's 2024. Clicked upon it, and there verified Grateful Han's news of 4-27-28-85 Frost shows as the next Pick. I'm not as happy as he is about it, really don't like the cassette master releases. Looked at the setlists when I saw Han's post, some interesting things. Will definitely give them a shot. Even the Little Red Rooster gets at least one spin. Would be shocked if it stayed in the rotation when '73 shows like DaP 38 can't. Did break it out again recently, but has nothing on any of the shows from the HCS box.
Seaside chat video whereabouts
Hey All, so the seaside chat video for 2024 subscription is well, interesting. I noticed when I watched it that it only had a few views but it was listed as being released 11 days ago. I thought that was odd, so I added that video into my YouTube video library. I did x-out of YouTube as I went about my day. I tried to search for it later but discovered that it is not able to be found on the official Grateful Dead channel. However it is still saved in my video library on YouTube so I did watch it again. Now I have YouTube premium so maybe that allows me to see a video that might have been uploaded but not made available to non premium YouTube audience. I would share a screen shot but I don't think the website permits that these days.
I hope I don't get in hot water for sharing this- although I saw there were anomalies for the video when I first watched it, I did still think it was available to everyone. I was and still am excited about the 1985 releases. Maybe the seaside chat will available for all soon?
