    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 think the mailman was holding my Dave's for ransom. Just starting disk uno. P.S. Vguy, Sorry to hear about your Dad. Did you say your dad passed at 66 from Alzheimer's? That's pretty freaking scary. How is that possible at such an early age?

    First, I am a sucker for So Many Roads. The last Hunger Garcia song, always stops me in my tracks for a moment of reflection.

    Boston 94 is a strong show. 30 Trips did a great job of highlighting good shows from years where admittingly, expectations were low, including late era shows and 86.

    As you were, if I'm away for a while it was crapatcha and Senor HeyNow.

    Daverock, Boston Garden 01-OCT-94 is indeed a fantastic show!! This was the last GREAT show I caught in person. Some may be put off by the era/just Vince but it really does smoke right out of the gate. There are some era all-timers in there too - that So Many Roads gives me chills every time; I'd be truly challenged to find a better version where Jerry just pours it all in. Help>Slip>Franklin's, Scarlet>Fire, MASSIVE Terrapin...this show really hits all of the highs. I love the tone of Jerry's Deadbolt too during this period, sorta has that acoustic-y sound and twang. Good advice is to dive into this one if some of you haven't; I was thrilled when I saw it in the Boxzilla and couldn't have agreed more on the pick for '94.

    Be Well People!

    P.S. I've been 'Hey Now'd' so many times in the past week that I'd given up all together to try and post. If this one gets through, it'll be a miracle

    Looking in my book of October shows, I was surprised to see that 10/12/68 doesn't have a rose, marking it as one of the authors best shows after all. I though it had - a show so psychedelic you can hallucinate just reading about it.
    What does have a rose is 10/1/94. I checked in 30 Trips, and sure enough, that is the 1994 show included. So I gave it a spin, for the first time since I got it. Jumping jehosophat -it's great! I've only played the 1st cd, but every song works.

I would love to hear the vinyl remaster of this pick. I don't really have a "favorite" year for band. Sure, I like some ears better than others but, i consider myself blessed to "like it all". With that being said, Dicks Picks #2, 10/31/71, single disc knockout release! would definitley be in my "you can only take 10 shows with you" stack!!!

BTK....once again, I'm sure we were at alot of the same shows .... I have great memories of Halloween at BCT in 84 ... both the music AND the crazy costumes ... as I recall, they did a great "halloween space". Also (still have) one of my favorite t-shirts ... black, full moon in upper left corner featuring Jerry's face in the surface, skeleton with shades playing a pumpkin guitar flying through the frame... "Halloweeeeeeeeen at Berkeley". Good times had by all..........tcc

Morning, rockers!!!!

Awesome sonic upgrade on the UCLA show. Super nice crunchy Other One. But I knew that already. Did you?!!!

Looking forward to 10/24/70 on drive home.............

Music is given to us with the sole purpose of establishing an order in things, including, and particularly, the coordination between man and time......

Rock on,

Doc

39 years ago today ( along with top China cat and allot of other folks who post here on this forum) we were having a great time with the the Good old Grateful Dead at the tiny BCT. Great show , great run. The Dead had put up big sheets of paper out in the lobby on the walls so you could write them messages.

Oh man I loved the BCT! Probably rubbing shoulders with some of you all there. We were so lucky in those days we had a connection for "family tix" down in front maybe center 8 rows back. I had a D5 in the brand new taping section and would run back there for the flip! Oh what fun we had!

No shipping notice at all but my USPS account says I will be receiving DP #48 tomorrow 10/31. I'm pretty much fed up with the customer service.

No shipping notice, but it arrived anyway, along with a few inches of snow!

I was heading out to run an errand and grabbed Pure Jerry from July 1977 off the shelf for the drive, but then found #48 in the mailbox, so stuffed that in the van's CD player instead.

40 years ago tonight, The Grateful Dead were tearing it up in their hometown and we were lucky enough to be there. It was really hard to get tickets for these shows at the tiny Marin Vets Auditorium. The Dead played great, and we really cut loose and had a great time. Next stop Halloween and the last St Stephen.

I think it was Thatmike that mentioned this book by David Cain a year or so back. It's a Deadheads guide, in that it written by one, for others, of all the shows from October, briefly reviewed according the the writers subjective views. Hugely enjoyable it is, too. Maybe not for everyone - he talks about things he doesn't like as well as what he likes, which might freak some people out. But I like it.

He attaches a rose to shows he really recommends, and I noticed he gave one to The Frost show from 10/9/82 which I think -forgive me if I'm wrong- Cousins recommended recently. Obviously a show to look out for if I've got that right.

10/12/68 has to be up on top of that list October shows, because it is a knockout and should be an official release. Cousins is right about 10/9/82 at the Frost, it was a blast and definitely should be released.

Back at the tiny Marin Veterans Auditorium with the Good old Grateful Dead for Halloween. The last time the Dead would play St. Stephen. I saw the Dead play it 2×, 7/13/76 at the Orpheum Theatre was the other time. The Dead first played St. Stephen 5/24/68 in St. Louis, they played it 289 times.

Same building BITD but separate with one side auditorium and the other side opera house with the stages actually back to back. Auditorium torn down later but they left the opera house standing, now renamed. That wasn't the first auditorium on that site either as I recall.

10/12, 1968.

Been forever, over 20 years since I listened to it.

A little philosophical discussion. I tend to agree that as much of the early stuff as possible needs to be released as soon as possible as there are precious heads that either went to that show or wished they had, that would like it to be released while they are with us. I still want the newer material but I think we owe it to these older heads to help them get what they need.

Edit: I still believe they will move to streaming only sometime in the not too distant future. I also think they are putting out these elegant releases as only they can do it. 25 years from now, these physical shows with elaborate artwork will be worth a fortune. I mean there are kids that pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for the digital image of a lunchbox, because it is the only image of that particular lunchbox. I am so happy I grew up when I did, the best of times, now may be entering the worst of times.

Trouble posting - I would image many realize how close we are to quantum computing. Once we have that, there are no passwords as computers can crack any code.

10-31-71 vinyl has been delivered on 10-31.

Number 18/3500 no less.

Probably won’t spin it for a few days as I’m going with DaP48 first.

Now to taste test some candy before I start handing it out….

Never mind that #9641 had hit my mailbox several hours earlier today. It’s all good. Not spinning it tonight but read the liner notes already. Loves me some Bill Walton.

I’m a big fan of the Keith initiation tour so this one helps to salvage a somewhat lackluster year in the Dave’s Picks series. Very encouraging to see it sell out this quickly.

I had to go with disc 3 first, because I don’t have time for the whole ‘71 show tonight.
I just gotta say, when the boys bust into a St. Stephen riff towards the end of Good Lovin, well, let’s just say I “lost my mind” a little bit.
I’m always hesitant to put ‘70 ahead of ‘71 ( mainly because I know Doc is on here) and with his complete 1971 expertise and knowledge, it seems silly to prefer 1970. But I do. It’s just a bit more raw and unhinged. I’m sure Doc loves ‘70 stuff too, but, I like what I like. In fact, I will coin a phrase none of you have ever heard before:
It’s ALL good!! 😂🤣

EDIT: of course this one gets through right away

....which is a first for me. Like Mr. Ones, I'm going to start with 10.24.70 right now. Because I've got a double header tonight. Corpse Bride, followed by the new Evil Dead movie. Let's get greasy and gross.
Happy Halloween you freaks!
