    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.

    48 Looks Great

    Going back and listening to 10/21 & 22/71 has me noticing Keith really playing to impress (possibly thinking Pigpen's return could've been the end of his tenure with the Dead?), and it's pretty impressive for being just a month or so in. I'm sure by the time this releases show happened he had likely felt like he secured his spot in the band for a big part of the Dead's history.

    That bonus '70 St Louis material is nice. Wouldn't surprise me if a '70 pick will be the first for the 2024 subscription, or #50 with the bonus disc. That announcement should be coming pretty quickly. I'll be on-board.

    That the video Dave has yet to make concerns the subscription for next year.

    DaP 49?

    Perhaps 19791209 is another slip up and it will be DaP #49?

    Edit: Remember the DaP #44 show from 1990 had a missing 1969 track from DaP #43 added to the end, so don’t rely on these missing tracks appearing on a ‘70’s show.

    Edit 2: Looking back I see I ordered the 2023 subscription on 25th of October last year, so more product is a little more than a week away, with any luck.

    Fall 1970"

    Is this the first Fall 70" show to ever be released? My guess is another Fall 70" pick will be released as a Daves next year with the rest of this show as bonus

    Rex recording

    Typed out a whole long post the other day that was rejected by the Man, but the gist was hoping that DaP 48 would be taped by Rex, as he did a masterful job on 11/17/71 DaP 26, and I think he is quite underrated as a taper. His tapes ended up in the Betty batches, so there may be more upgrades if it turns out there's a Rex tape. DaP 21 4/2/73 is one of the best sounding tapes of the Series. Not a huge fan of the show itself, but a gorgeous tape.

    Edited to add: the filler on disc 3 is exactly the songs I would have picked but with Attics added.

    Edited again to add: agreed Darkstar! I have a folder of all the St Louis releases, this disc will be added to that, along with 2/2/70, 3/18/71, 12/9-10/71, 10/17-19/72, 10/30-11/1/73, 5/15/77) somehow can't locate my DVD of the Download Series downloads, which had a '69 show from St Louie...

    Well 10/24/70 will make lots of folks more exited about 48, and I bet ole Billy the Kid is dancing a jig ; )
    Now for the overthinking lol: if he’s going to tack on the final few songs that don’t fit here, onto a pick next year, then you have to wonder if perhaps that pick might be also from 1970?
    AND….???
    Wonder what the other video he needs to make is about (as he turns off the camera with a sly dog cat like smile), Just the 49/sub video, or ???
    How cool would something completely different for the holidaze be! Hey, a girl can dream lol
    And HF already pontificating about fall 72 lol, we are a greedy lot eh! ; )

....now, where's Thin At-AT?

I personally love that Eyes of the World, it's much slower in tempo from other '77s and for that reason it stands out tremendously. It was a fantastic pick that had been on my radar forever before it was released.

Thursday in Deadland, and it's gonna be 63 degrees in Boston Today.
It's November 16th.

Have been on the road for a couple weeks, heard 48 discs 1&2 when they landed but have not listened in deadicated fashion to the third disc at home, REALLY looking forward to it this evening. Heard parts of it at a friends house but so much was going on, not focus on the music enough. Regarding 49 and music from 1985, have gotten over a persistent sense of loss felt with the decline of Jerry's voice, which incrementally began back to 1979 in my humble view. Likewise for changes in keyboards and new songs, fundamentally an old fart who was locked into early to mid range shows. Have always appreciated and now enjoy more 80s as its really all we have, right? And yes a farmer once told me sometime in June, it's time to Hay Now.

We'll see if I can get through the force field . . .

My notes for DaP33 (10/29/77) ask, "Grate-est show EVER?!"

Loving this slow-burn "Saint" from Day Six (12/11/79); lots of space for the guys to mess around a bit, compared to the hyper-speed versions of the early 80s where the guys had to just play their set parts in order to keep up.

IMO the filler is the star of the show on this release. Cant wait for the rest of the show to drip out in future releases.

Its high time the powers that be, such as they are, bring this discussion forum into the 20th century. I know its a lot of work and everyone is busy doing good work, but for a band with this much staying power and this many fans, putting out releases 50 years after their high-water mark (give or take), one might think a user friendly forum would help keep the train a rollin.

That's just wrong.

The righteous thing to do, when a paying customer bought a box set that includes defective discs, would be to replace the whole set. If Warners doesn't have any replacement discs left, that's only because the manufacturing process was so shoddy that they've had unusually high numbers of replacements needed. And whose fault is that? Not the paying customer's.

Like most of what I've written lately, this probably won't post. But the situation ticks me off enough that I had to try. I remember when the Dead's business affairs were conducted by nice people. You could actually call 'em on the phone.

I'm not a robot, dammit!

Had a little time after the easiest 30 days of dead search ever and had been thinking of Bob songs that didn't make it into the Dead canon like It's So Easy To Slip and found some Kingfish from the Beacon Theatre on April 3, 1976. What a great boogie band! Mystery Train > Mule Skinner Blues to start. And away we go on a Sunday morning.

I'm reading Shakespeare's Twelfth Night to ready myself for my teen sons' high school production of a musical version of the same (one kid does sets/lights/sound, the other plays trumpet in the pit orchestra), and lo, and behold, here's THIS line as a character is sworn to secrecy . . .

When my tongue blabs, then let mine eyes not see.

ANOTHER bard we all know and love wrote, "If I tell another what your own lips told to me, let me lay 'neath the roses and my eyes no longer see"

Just checked the Annotated GD Lyrics book, but David Dodd did not mention this connection.

got some time to search my soul

Last five
Chet Atkins and Mark Knopfler: Neck and Neck (CD)
Led Zepplin: Prescence (vinyl 1976); Nobody’s Fault but Mine and Tea for One
Oscar Peterson Trio + One Clark Terry (vinyl 1964)
Bob Marley: The Reggae King Box (3 CD Trilogie)
The Miles Davis Quintet: Workin’ recorded in 1956 by Rudy Van Gelder (CD)

Completed the 7/13/85 Ventura, late set 2 had some tech issues, you can hear one of them saying it’s the bass. Moved on to 11/21/85 Set1 Kaiser last night, bit of an echo on the vocals, like that Rooster though.
Now back to Spring Tour, and will be doing a first time listen to 3/25/85 Springfield.

Peace All

Big Iron might have paired well with the other polka time tunes like Me & My Uncle.

Most recent GD listen: DaP 26, November 17, 1971, Albuquerque; that PITB is an all time favorite.

3 fantastic Grateful Dead songs that the Dead didn't play enough times, 1). Golden Road, only played 3×, 2) Operator, only played 4×, 3)Rosemary, only played 1×. I wish that they would have brought Rosemary back for those 1980 acoustic Warfield shows. Happy Thanksgiving everybody.

With avian tryptophan wearing off as an old fanboy forever since the summer of love, disc 3 of 48 checked boxes for me , Couldn't take a chance missing out on March 2, 1969 Record Store Day release. Had to drive some distance to a store which was only allocated three copies... managed to get there in time. Since this is last installment, who knows if the secondary market will be cruel, why take a chance. I was told, no advance orders, no holds, one per customer and most amazing, no returns. Guess they knew what a sitting duck looks like... Interested to read others experiences with this release. PS, I had to edit twice and go through about six captures.

The CD’s don’t say Plangent.
