    "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.

    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.

    I've narrowed it down to 2 real good possibilities based on DL's 1st of the year selections so for DP 49, I am guessing it'll be 7/25/74 or 6/22/91 of course I could be totally wrong. As of I am going with 7/25/74.

    Albums for Rolling

    The undisputed best album for cleaning/de-seeding/rolling is Bob Marley's "Rastaman Vibrations". It even gives you instructions. If you turn the album sideways while it is open, on the edge it says "This album jacket is great for cleaning herb". My other favorite is the Live/Dead album, which on the back, the words "acid" are sort of highlighted. Looking forward to Dave's 48. After my first boxset purchase (HCSS), I still prefer the individual releases.......not as much repitition. Not sure if I will go the boxset route again, but I DO LOVE it as Fall '73 was the beginning of my GD journey.

    Do not fear Dave! I’m fortunate in that I hooked up with an American acquaintance who inherited my Mother’s house over there, and they have kindly agreed to be a “proxy” for me on this one. Hopefully that’s taken care of but I’ll consider it done when it’s in my hands! At least the Band Camp option will be useful in the future.

    I’m all set for DP’s original CD releases up to the early 20’s (I think) at least, but here’s something about vinyl being cut from the original reels and not the digitised masters that really floats my boat. DP 2 is delicious and deserves to be heard as close to source as it’s possible to get, along with a meaty cover to slobber over!

    Thanks for thinking of me though. I’m sending you a DM re another Vinyl release that might tempt you. I ordered two to cover my bases (well actually, by dint of a snafu from dead.net shop at the time) and decided not to cancel or return the dupe as I had you in mind…:-)

    I'm pretty stoked too

    All three discs. They do take quite a bit of criticism for not always picking the exact 71 show we want. I bet 71 takes a bigger role in future releases and they begin to improve.. think of it as a 1971 Wack-a-Mole. Eventually they are going to begin hitting more 1969 too. I had a banana this morning, great source of potassium and the boxes make great storage containers for 10" reel to reel tapes.

    Reflecting on this week.

    How many joints are in a lid?

    60...I was going to a Blue Oyster Cult concert in 1981. At this point we were getting high quality home grown. So there were a few seeds but not like the Mexican brown. After I cleaned the few seeds and one large stem I was left with nothing but pure smokeable. (Hmm spell check doesnt get it) Any way at that time, I had one of those automatic joint rollers, you know with the 2 horizontal wheels with a piece of material to load into. Roll the wheels to get it tight! Then take a paper, once area between the wheels was packed full, and twist one wheel one rotation, you were ready to lick and then finish the wheel rotation to seal it shut. The night before the concert I sat in my room and cranked out 60 beauties. Now remember this was a so called lid, probably more than an ounce, maybe 1.5. I took all 60 joints into the concert. It was smoke fest in our section, balcony, right in the dead middle. I ended up selling about 30 of those for $5/each. So, paid for my ticket and my smoke, and went home with around 20 of those for later.

    So much more to tell about the guy who I bought smoke from, and my home town arena which had incredible sound for a hockey, as Bob always called them. More l8tr.

    wanted to post earlier, but REJECTED for inaccurate vernacular..

    must say I thoroughly enjoyed all the posts this week:) from comments about Pauley #48+filler to lids (double-albums with stems & seeds lol) to 3CD vs 4CD releases to Jessie “Lonecat” Fuller to being surprised at how much “hippiedom” in BTV to comments of DL's Relix's interview
    All great reading!

    Last weekend, thought I'd move out of the 70's for a stretch, did a ton of shows from
    '73, '74, & '77 SO FAR this year, and as #48 will arrive in a couple of weeks, I decided to move on for a couple of weeks to…

    6/14/85: GREEK, at the end of drumz> "Do you call that music?, Yes, I fah king do!"

    Robbie Robertson: Storyville

    6/15/85: GREEK

    8/14/94: JGB: Warfield

    6/16/85: GREEK

    5/10/91: Shoreline, still prefer the 5/11 show

    last week's 5 & followed those up this week with the next 5:

    Beatles: Abbey Road

    7/14/85: VENTURA; man, forgot all about this one, so glad its' back on my "hit parade"

    Buddy Guy: Damn Right, I've Got the Blues

    4/5/82: Spectrum (attended with friends, some no longer with us, great memories), and chose it because I was inspired by Garcia's playing at Nassau 4/11/82 especially on Let it Grow from "Tapers Section"

    10/20/90: Berlin, Dark Star is the reason I went back to EU'90

    hmm..at some point, when St Louis’s well has run dry, which locale’s well will they to tap next?
    Buffalo, Rochester, Providence, Worcester, Miami
    or tap the well of a venue:
    Avalon, Boston Tea Party, CalExpo, Capitol, Electric Factory, Frost, Greek, Kaiser, Shoreline, SPAC…………….

    Peace All!
    Uncle_Tripel

    Almost forgot...Garcia did an interview, believe it was '84, where he mentions the band's intent, and how everything they do is done "intentionally". Gotta believe that still holds water.

Palestines vs Israelites. A tale as old as time. Both need to get their shit together. Good luck with that. Sigh.

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.

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!!

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!

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" :)

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

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.

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- 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

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.

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…..

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.

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!

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.

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?
