Dave's Picks Vol. 50: Palladium, New York City, NY 5/3/77

Subject: setting me on fire
left the orchestra section during ship of fools and arrived in the loge for the basso profundo MNS - it's the best of the tour so far, i think, and the balcony is shakin' to its raging outro leading. i sit to take a short break, too.
yet another night of the first set seeming to spill over. first half of this second set is well-played, indeed, but the sugaree is the INSANE highlight, and keith and jerry are battling it out. one of the strongest estimateds of tour and i, for one, am happy for the FOTD break. the second half belongs to jerry - eyes is short but stellar and bridges to yet another rip-your-heart-out wharf rat, and NFA showcases some down in the weeds jamming. we're stomping and clapping and grinning our faces off, and then joint is jumping for sure as they close it down. another fine UJB encore sends me out the door, so very deeply in love with this band and its music. is there anything better than being a deadhead?
Is there anything better than being a Dead Head when one of your favorite shows is officially released in its entirety? We'll double down on your sentiments WolfmansBrother, with DAVE'S PICK VOLUME 50: PALLADIUM, NEW YORK CITY, NY 5/3/77, and we'll bring the fire extinguisher to cool you off after you listen to Betty Cantor-Jackson's complete recording. Don't want the party to end? We'll stoke those embers with a few hot tracks from the first set of 5/4/77. Dave's Picks Subscribers score the monstrous second set from 5/4/77 featuring "Scarlet>Fire," "Terrapin," 'Playing In The Band," "Comes A Time," and more. Woowee!
Limited to 25,000 numbered copies, this release has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering.

Spring '77!
Got my shipping notice AND the GarciaLive notice today--good day.
When this was announced, I pulled out the TATTS and Download Series releases from this tour. I haven't listened to many of the Spring '77 releases, so have been planning a serious go-though where I listen to the shows in order, one each month or so. The announcement of this release made me realize that it was time to do the go-through.
The shows from 4/25/77 and 4/30/77 are top-notch, so now I can absorb this release, then mosey through the entire Spring '77!

On the way.
Hope you all get yours soon.

Shipping Notice...
...received. It'll arrive when it arrives. I've learned over the years not to fret over delivery dates. 5/1 and 5/5 were my first two shows, so this is a perfect sandwich. Warming up with San Berdino 2/26 and Capitol Passaic 4/27.
The Lowell George tribute has been ordered.
Off to see Willie Nelson and Family with Asleep at the Wheel tonight.
This is the first of many geezer shows this season. More later.
RIP Mike Pinder of Moody Blues
Their first seven albums are awesome
a raise of the glass to you, Mr Pinder
Coming clean
I've never understood what people mean when they put up a blank post with a little dot in the middle of it. Adedhed's was the most recent. I get the impression the poster isn't happy about something - but what it actually means I have no idea.
OK Last One
Vguy - love the sentiment "You will never regret being kind."
Best way to live life!
That too me is the test or the acid test...are you kind? Great Hunter Thought.
(micro) dots in posts
I have done that when I wrote something and then thought better of it.
Shipping noticed received!....
....yeah boi!
The . in subject then a . in comment usually means the poster retracted the statement they posted originally. Rethinking the comment? Double post? Oopsie? I think I might come across as an asshole?
I'm guilty of all four.

Been pondering getting a customized license plate, various ideas (has to be maximum of seven letters):
1) MICRODT
2) DROPOUT
3) MKULTRA
4 TUNE-IN or TURN-ON
With 2 vehicles it might be good to use maybe tune-in and turn-on, or turn-on and dropout dot dot dot
same old story and I know it's been told
rock and roll hall of fame
one of the biggest jokes ever
mary j blige
cher
but Motorhead question mark
no
can you say travesty qm
If I had my way I would tear that old building down
GD is my favorite band of all time of course
Motorhead is second
This is telling
A spring '77 that hasn't sold out yet? Time to remaster all Dicks Picks with Plangent process, remix, remaster and reissue .
Gram Parsons and Robert Fripp Would Like a Word
I never could figure out why the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame needed to exist. It's nice when, once in a while, a talented band or artist that's generally overlooked by the masses is inducted. Like say when the Stooges got in. But most of the time it's just "honoring" somebody who's already well known and already very rich already had plenty of honors.
It's certainly not about excellence, or influence. Gram Parsons isn't in there. Neither is King Crimson. Each has contributed recordings that are indisputable classics and launched entire genres of music.
And these days it's not even about rock and roll. Nothing against country or hip hop, but artists that excel in those genres don't belong in a rock hall of fame.
I wouldn't worry too much about DaP sales. If these were still limited edition runs of 12,000, they'd still sell out instantly. And reappear on the Bay for five times the list price. Fine with me if they take a year to sell out now.
But I do like the idea of revisiting some of the DiPs. I think it goes without saying the sound could be significantly improved over what was possible 25 years ago. Come on Powers That Be, make it happen!
Dot is all.
Bands
Always a good discussion, as of now (& subject to change)
1) GOGD
2) ABB
3) Yes
4) Rush
5) Pink Floyd
6) the Beatles
7) Phish
8) WsP
9) Little Feat
10) Genesis
Now listening pleasure is a different thing. Listen to 95% GOGD, or Jerry, sometimes Kingfish. Second would be ABB, third Phish, 4th Little Feat, fifth WsP.
That causes unnecessary brain fatigue. But, time to start the jams!
yesterday on the drive home
saw a car with a rush sticker and a second one that read 2112 in the font like 26 dot 2 for marathon runners
I thought about the Rushies here
One more re Rock Hall
John Lydon called it a piss stain
indeed
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Wonder too, why Gram Parsons is not inducted, a pioneer.
But Madonna made it.
How is Rock 'N' Roll defined?
G.
reverting to tarzan talk
bonus disc good two second sets good subscribers rejoice ungowa
My Hall of Fame
Listen to GD 99% of the time.
Then Jerry.
Then a variety including Hendrix, Rush, Floyd, Feat, ABB, Who, Zep, Stones, etc.
A favorite that is underrated is Hard Working Americans.
Phish hasn't even been nominated for the HOF....
....travesty.
Good to know we all agree that it's become a joke at this point. High five!
Yes, high five, Borat
I am so glad I saw Phish back in the day
not into them for a long time
but very glad I went in 1991 92 94
RRHOF
I live 18 mins. from the RRHOF, and most here in CLE consider it a joke. I’ve been exactly once, when the special Grateful Dead exhibit was running. It was cool to see Dick’s reel to reel machine. It was years before the inductions were actually held in Cleveland. And the NY a-holes thought it was better to induct the home-town favorite NY bands like The Stooges and The Ramones before Rush and Motörhead. As Alex Lifeson said during his induction speech, “Blahblahblahblah…”. Silliness…
Other potential rrhof nominees
Burt bacharach
Percy faith
Mel torme
Connie Francis
