    Golden era Grateful Dead in the most golden city in the Golden State? Yes, DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 46 features the complete unreleased show from the Hollywood Palladium, Los Angeles, 9/9/72. Loosen that tie, this ain't a red carpet rodeo - it's the after party that legends are made of. Consistently excellent from start to finish, this West Coast groove showcases tracks that would soon debut on EUROPE '72, solo material from both Jerry and Bob, a riveting iteration of "China>Rider," a couple of Chuck Berry doozies, a bonkers 35-plus "Other One" that hits all the psychedelic highs, and wraps up with a "Casey Jones"/"Sugar Magnolia"/"One More Saturday Night" finale that'll have you wondering why you wore a tie in the first place. Hooray for Hollywood, indeed.
     
    Limited to 25,000 numbered copies, this release was recorded by Owsley Stanley and has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering. Oh, and it ships next week so you'll wanna grab a copy while you can.

    Some would say this is a consequence of people's behaviour. Behaviour that could be modified. It looks as though if this doesn't happen....

    Heard tonight's show would be one hour longer; if so, I'm guessing there might be a few guests.

    Been reading about fans passing out due to high humidity on top of 95 degrees, which would be somewhat acceptable if it rains.
    4% humidity here.
    There is a difference.
    Btw. Ocean temps around FL is 90 degrees +. Not. Good.

    Archive reviews of 12/9/79

    Easy there Oroborous - As always, your enthusiasm is infectious. Still, if you read the reviews of the two soundboard options for 12/9/79 on the Archive, they're mostly 4 and 5 star comments – okay, njpg gives it one star because it's "stream only" – the soundboard gets a few nods too. I'm in. And maybe by not releasing only well-known primo shows before 4 - 4.5★ shows is a sign Dave has no plans to wind up Dave's Picks any time soon. He's been known to turn us on to some unexpected diamonds in the rough. Looks like Dave's 47 may be more than a placeholder.

    I’m also looking forward to your 12/1/79 with its Gone>Gloria Jam>CC Rider some day too. Onward.

    I’ve been watching the final SF shows. Pretty solid, only a little plodding, but so far I think the Boulder shows had more X factor fire? Bummed I didn’t do the Gorge, they look really good on paper? Anyone checked those out, curious how they were?
    Gotta wonder what’s next? I don’t see these guys hanging up their R&R shows just yet….

    Having just bought this epic 73 box, it would have to be something pretty amazing to get me to pay out for yet another Dead show so soon afterwards. This 79 show doesn't look like an essential one- so it's release actually suits me.

    December 79 was hit and miss; last one was so so and the sound was muddy compared to the untampered-with original source. Easy to Love You in the 2nd set is a downer for me, too MOR in my opinion
    On different note, how do you get Dead & Co livestream tonight? Last show, figured I'd check it out from the couch...

    …After that last ok but certainly not top shelf pick from 79, or all hells gonna break loose.
    Why, why does he do this? Now I’ve not heard 12/9/79 yet, but if you check out the posts here on DN, there aren’t any, ok 3, 2 “this was my first show…” Archive has more, but many are of the ok, not great vibe. Not definitive proof, but not a good sign either.
    So why, when there are at least six shows I could name that would probably be as good or better. Numero uno…12/1/79!
    FFS, sounds like another, Good Neighborhood, good street, wrong house….truly hope I’m wrong and it’s a blazer, but if not, he’s going to wreck 79, especially for those who are already were on the fence.
    And you have to scratch your head about the big picture too: they’ve had a bit of a sales slump, wouldn’t a guaranteed Home Run be a smarter idea than yet another head scratcher? Just a thought, sorry to be Debbie Downer…

has a Space>NFA>Stella>Sugar US Blues tacked on at the end. That looks like 12/04 Uptown Theater in Chicago.

BigBrownie - Estimated > Franklins > Jam from 12/4/79 was filler on DaP 31 Uptown 12/3/79. The Shakedown that opened Set II on 12/4 appears to have a gap in SBD so not usable. (Edit - oops, my mistake, Shakedown opened Set II on 12/5).

I'm all in on this pick from the Kiel. Completely unfamiliar with it but I know that I really dig Fall '79. There are some very favorable reviews on archive, including one from the "legendary" capn doubledose. I know DaP 31 doesn't get much love, but it was my second show and its always a fun listen for me - spun it on a drive just last week. Just gonna say that the Jack-A-Roe is my favorite outside of those early '77 versions - Jerry's solo is exquisite. It is a puzzle that 12/1 hasn't been released but so be it. I mean, what about Gainesville? One thing's for sure, basically every release is a surprise to me. Sometime its something that's on my wish list, sometimes not, but always a surprise.

Gave #46 a spin tonight and was absouletly blown away!

Fantastic sound. Fantastic performance.

It's releases like this and the current #49 Frost show, that gives me faith there is plenty more gold to mine in the vault

Rock on, gang

It's truly astonishing when you stop and think about all the live shows that have been released over the last 30 years. I never expected all this when I started collecting their official releases back in the 70's. No other rock band could stand such a schedule.

I agree!

It's truly amazing, and you're right, no other band can provide this kind of enjoyment for fans, or build a legacy like this.

I was a little late to the party. I started getting tapes in 1988 from my older brother, but didn't make a show until 1991.

I always thought more would come out, especially after One From The Fault was released, but i never imagined it would be like this!!

A lucky bunch, we are!!

I was reading the latest issue of Mojo magazine which has an article about Pearl Jam. They have, apparently, issued around 500 official bootlegs of their concerts. Who knew?

Yes, they have released a bunch of shows, maybe even a few tours.

Fantastic band to see live!!!

Thinking about it, King Crimson have also had quite a few of their live shows released over the years, too. Mainly tucked away in era defining box sets.
