    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.

    What I most remember is how we enjoyed the scene and our experiences in it (discounting, in my case at least, some mild diarrheal trouble). Highlights included climbing the Great Pyramid to the top (eventually so, in my case - the first evening we were there, prior to the shows, some of the guys, especially, were hot to climb {up a side, to begin with, which everyone found isn't the better way to go about it], which I thought was a typically American response of conquering something before understanding it, so I didn't myself until a day or two afterward)

    I can't declare on that for the others I traveled with, only about my impressions of their responses. Everybody mainly had a real good time, so far as I sensed. We didn't do a lot of or maybe any performance critiquing! (Nor were any of us who weren't couples necessarily in the same spots or areas during the shows.)

'79 would be a strong choice for the next box. The best shows from that year tend to rock out quite successfully. I'll always like the spacier, more exploratory eras of the Dead, but in '79 they seemed more wont to jut git down, and I can dig that too.

Still holding out for the Berkeley Greek box. Kind of surprised it hasn't happened already. Whatsa problem, Dave? Too obvious?

Either they are saving those for some big event or they just ain't in the vault.

If it's the former, WE AIN'T GETTING YOUNGER.

in 2023, I lost a friend, my mother in law, my father, almost my dog, a friend got a brain tumor, and a coworker got diagnosed with lymphoma.

My message? MORTALITY IS REAL. Please release some Greeks, please.

…I truly believe it’s a Grateful Idea! It’s missing in our lists of released a lot of primo performance’s mentioned, I Love it! Especially the August Concerts after Jerry’s Birthday! 4th & 5th and the rest of ProudFoot picks are “what dreams are made of!” We are Due if you look back over the evolution of box set releases that started with 1969 and they continued forward to 1978. Did a skip and a jump around a few decades & now I would really Love to have 1979 kick start back the unfolding of the Dead’s ears! Is a plethora of golden apples for 1979. So I chant 1979 Stay Live ! They can’t go wrong. All their major series started with 1979 performances when they started to release recorded performances let’s have a box set to celebrate that’s what I say captain! All aboard my brother and sisters ! Ship of Sales and imean “sales “ lol quick sell out in my opinion! Spinning the 1979 RSD release right now! Beautiful, just beautiful all around!
Would welcome the Greeks performances as well.

May 11, 1979 - Billerica Forum, Billerica, MA

Totally obscure, they only played there once, it's right in my backyard, killer setlist. This one has been mentioned before and I just like the fact that it was a one and done but it was gooooood. Let's turn over some stones here Dave and give the peeps what they want with some 1979 GD.

Happiest 2024 to All Youz Freaks out there.

Be Well People!

I've noticed over the last few days that when people are pressing the number "6", the number "7" is being printed instead. Least I think that is what's happening.

“Oh shit man I’m getting ready to release another boxfull of ’77 and everybody wants ’79!!!”

As if.

It seems pretty evident they’re not looking at the discussions here when they plan these archival releases. If they were, everything ’69 would be released now. Not to mention the long-discussed Greek box.

(My recollection is that a bunch of Greek shows were broadcast on radio at the time, so there has to be some good quality tapes somewhere. I remember having cassettes that people made from the radio. Wish I still had 'em.)

You know, on the one hand I feel sure that, in the fullness of time, they will release Every Last Thing we’ve been waiting for, and then some. But, like Proudfoot sez, those of us who are the paying audience for this stuff are scheduled to be leaving the Earthly plane of existence in relatively short order.

Death don't have no mercy, That ain't no joke.

OSF is going to release 4/25/81 , a benefit called Sing out for Sight. Garcia, Weir, Hart, Kreutztman, and Kahn do an acoustic set. Country Joe , Kate Wolf and others are on the recording. It was at the BCT, my brother and I were there, it was a blast. Not sure of the release date.

I have most, if not all, unreleased 79 SBD’s on a hard drive.
But I haven’t listened to all of them yet, although eventually I will.
12-1-79 should be the next 79 release when it is time for another 79 to be released (only because I had it on cassette back in the day and am biased).
But I don’t need a 79 Box now, there is other stuff that should come out first.
Definitely need a 91 Bruce Box before a 79 Box.

I hope it's one that doesn't give me wood so I can save some money and some shelf space.

I doubt a 79 box is in the grand plans, anyway.

I bet the next one will be post-86.

Time will tell.

In the meantime, on to disc three of 1/10/79!

Just feel like banging the drum for this one again. Definitely a prime contender for a Dave's as it wouldn't make sense as part of a box, unless it was a multi year at Roosevelt Stadium. But DaP 46's Bonus has part of the 9/19/72 show, but if 7/18/72 exists in the Vault, that would pair well with the two '73 shows, and maybe bonus material from the remainder of the 9/19/72 and 8/6/74 shows released partially. But really, I just want that '76 show officially released. Still think it's the best of that year.

Someday, but not yet…

First I’d take: in order…
First six of 73!!!
Primal 66-70 big box!
Fall 89 multis
Summer 85
Fall 91
Spring 78
79 ?
Other spring or fall 73
Summer 76

Of course there’s so many “venue” boxes that could be done too…

In my opinion the best Greek run was the 1981, which unfortunately is not in the vault.
8-4-76 should be released, there's a great Youtube of the whole show.

Is an old buddy

In Nappylandia...today La Señora Nappy and I welcomed two four month old kittens into our household...Sisters...one is coal black and her name is "Pookah"...her sister is Siamese-ish coloring with a slight black moustache...and in honoring that we named her Stasha...Weee!

I would throw in some 74 in there OB. You know the run I am referring to. Site won't let me post about it.

Don't forget 1980. Those Oakland shows would be fun.

that do not get heynowed. But still convey the message that this place really sucks. and Rhino is ill managed. So only negativity can get through. When the original thing I wrote sixteen times that was full of positive vibes and carried a positive marketing message was blocked.

At letting crappy negative vibes flow through. That do not seem to get heynowed.

Which just makes this place sucky suck suck even more.

Why don't you just fire that hey now ahole.. that put in play this piece of code.. that will end up costing you lots and lots of money in lost sales.

I mean.. write stuff we would never write or never mean. And give a new meaning to Hey Now.

Their lips are moving but nothing's coming out. Just type crap, endless crap until they fix this problem. Because anything good that we type gets rejected. They know they have a problem and they seemingly plan to do nothing to fix it.

I filled up a whole page without getting heynowed

None of it good. Now fix this deadnet so we can get back to being not quite normal but at least being ourselves.
