Dave's Picks Vol. 51: Scranton Catholic Youth Center, Scranton, PA (4/13/71)
Look out Big Boss Man, Pigpen's on the loose! We're shedding our lovelight on the not-to-be-overlooked Spring 1971 tour with DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 51, featuring the complete unreleased show from the SCRANTON CATHOLIC YOUTH CENTER, SCRANTON, PA 4/13/71 AND the 2nd set from the previous night at the Pittsburgh Civic Arena in Pittsburgh, PA on 4/12/71.
These gems find the original Grateful Dead quintet delivering some of their most inspired, energetic, and tightest performances. There's a dab of WORKINGMAN'S DEAD, a splash of AMERICAN BEAUTY, a great foreshadow into what would soon appear on SKULL & ROSES. And you'll need nearly all those fingers (or those toes) because - count 'em - there's eight classic covers ("Mama Tried," "Hard To Handle," and a rare "I Second That Emotion," to name a few) done as only the Dead could do them with Mr. McKernan and his magical harmonica.
Limited to 25,000 numbered copies, DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 51: SCRANTON CATHOLIC YOUTH CENTER, SCRANTON, PA 4/13/71 has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering.
P.S. We had a little extra room on Disc 2, so please enjoy the final five DP48 bonus tracks to complete 10/24/70, St. Louis, MO.

I have a cool book: Immortal Axes That Rocked, that has cool pics and similar info about Phil’s bass, AND!!! Jerry’s Pretzel Guitar!
Good sheet Mon!

You say po TA Toe, I say p tah to lol
Gary, Yer not seeing double, this time lol (JK)
The original good Oroboros, who is the creator of the ceramic beast and it’s long strange trip, beat me to it by two weeks, so I had seen another spelling some where? Used to think in the Dead Book by C Loves father, Hank Harrison, but now think that’s not correct? Can’t really remember?, and now of course it’s gotten confusing, so like that awesome Seinfeld episode where they all have alternative dimension other selves, like in “Bizarro Jerry”, “Bizarro George” etc, that we’re just like them, only opposite personality wise, hilarious if you’ve never seen it!
So I’m the Bizarro Oro, the Other, Other One Lol the evil twin lol
I felt bad when Marye posted his great tale in the community section but with my spelling. I tried to set the record strait back then, but kept getting pummeled mercilessly by the you know who police!
Thanks again to Marye for posting that awesome tale!
The stories are my favorite reason to hang here, so we need more good tales!

So glad now to be able to give credit where credit is due!
The kind, good, original Oroboros is THAT Oro, and I’m just a second rate loud mouth prankster who eats breaths shits way too much GOGD, but hopefully at least brings smiles and laughs to the people ; )

Oh, the meteorite is crazy stuff, but reminds me of the episode where Kramer has a dream he’s riding one “like a cowboy Jerry” …. ; )

Kinda slow, maybe I'll stretch out a little

In 2018 we were having discussions about Osiris REx. A NASA satellite launch which had 2 purposes. 1) It was sent to collect a Sample from near earth asteroid Bennu. 2) After flying by earth to drop the sample to earth, which it accomplished on September 21, 2023, it's name was changed to Osiris Apex (Osiris Apophos). It is heading to Apophos which is a large asteroid that is heading to very near earth in 2029. Apophos means God of Destruction. It is the size of the Eiffel Tower and will be visible with the naked eye. Space trackers have pushed out it hitting earth until 2129 or so, 100 hundred years from now. But still a very high level threat.

Now to continue on this thread considering Grateful Dead and its meaning and Phil Lesh and Egypt. I ran across a great Guitar World report on Phil's "Mission Control" base as part of it follows:

"Just about any Deadhead is familiar with the Phil Lesh bass known as ‘Mission Control’. What is hazy are many of the details, as this bass guitar seemed to simply disappear over 40 years ago.

This astounding custom Alembic bass, with serial number 74 00008, was played by Lesh on stage with the Grateful Dead from June 16, 1974 until July 1, 1979, and was hand-built at Alembic by luthier Rick Turner.

Only the eighth instrument built by Alembic, Turner started it in 1972 and completed it in mid-1974. ‘Osiris’, aka ‘Mission Control’, ‘Osage Orange’ or ‘The Omega’, was built not just for, but as part of, the band’s historic Wall Of Sound. The significance of the Wall Of Sound, another brainchild of Alembic co-founder Owsley ‘Bear’ Stanley III, cannot be overstated.

This grand audio experiment spawned the modern PA system, and set a standard still unmatched today. However, that is only part of the story of this bass and its builders at Alembic. This instrument and a handful of its contemporaries set the stage for the modern ‘boutique’ instrument.

Consider the construction of this bass, beyond its exotic inlays and electronics. When this instrument was built, you could count on two hands the number of instruments built this way. It featured laminated neck-thru construction, coupled with sandwiched, exotic tone wood wings known as ‘The Hippie Sandwich’.

These techniques, pioneered by the builders at Alembic, have paved the way for countless luthiers and instruments that now use these elements as the standard for today’s boutique instrument. Jerry Garcia’s Wolf guitar, built by Luthier Doug Irwin in 1972 to 1973, featured the same type of construction, and was also used with the Wall Of Sound.

Irwin also came from the Alembic tree of luthiers. Used by Lesh at over 250 Grateful Dead shows in that five-year period, the Mission Control bass became iconic in its own right, with Rolling Stone magazine featuring the instrument in an Alembic article in September 1973. It was also featured in its own scene in The Grateful Dead Movie the following year."

Later in the article, dated April 1, 2021, it lists the inlays of Phil's Osiris Bass, also called Apophos in another article as follows:
"The ebony fingerboard is covered in 11 different exotic inlays. For the record, these are:

Mother-of-pearl lightning bolts striking lapis lazuli An abalone serpent eating its own tail
A mother-of-pearl crescent moon
An abalone lizard
An abalone Darkstar Mother-of-pearl and abalone stars
An abalone bat
An abalone infinity symbol
A mother-of-pearl and abalone Saturn
Abalone kissing fish, as Lesh is a Pisces
More mother-of-pearl lightning bolts striking lapis lazuli"

I bring this up as Oroborous has the picture of Oroborous today as his picture. I know we have 2 Oroborus', hope I have the right one. The other talked about making an Oroborous and putting it on stage and then meeting Jerry the next morning and giving it to him. Now that is a long time ago so memory fuzzy. But look at the neck Phil had of these GD symbols. Also, it matches his guitar strap.

There is a lot too this. May post more later, but feel I have over extended the welcome for now. Send PM if you want direct web pages. I am sure they will have to be broken up.

G

From there down the rabbit hole I found articles by Ryan Slesinger, PhD and Vincent Bridges. Both who document the deeper meanings of Grateful Dead as it relates to the book of the dead. These are long involved article which I am still reading/digesting.

Apophis not Apophos. Edit

Got mine, too.

Shipping notice received.

Hope others get theirs as well.

Got a sticker handed to me at my last JRAD show, a quote from Joe Russo "It's kinda amazing when everybody is so fuckin quiet. It allows us to do things. Thanks guys. Silence is cool."

Agree x 1,000,000,000 with Joe's sentiment (and that expressed by posters here).

Things are getting better

Shipping: We have to remember that Discovery Network bought Warner Brothers a little over 2 years ago in a highly leveraged buyout. Discovery just today lost its bid for NBA rights in USA. However, the CEO David Zaslav is a capable CEO. I am sure he has done a full asset review. In my opinion, it took him a while to get to working on Warner Bros GD asset. I am hoping we are now seeing better fruit. I will know Monday if they can get me Dave's as scheduled. His hand is obvious in moving to DHL for European counterparts. I think he realizes GD is a valuable asset, one he does not won't to sell off. Let us watch next year for improvements in operations. I think we will continue to see the GD machine hum much better. He will pull away some operations of GD enterprise to a more centralized unit, but hopefully, leave Dave and the GD machine to do what they know best, that is, GD. Possible Mr. Zaslav had his hand in upping the merchandise side of GD.

Just one man's thoughts. I did meet David Zaslav in 1987 when he as chairman of discovery network; he spoke at the college from which I graduated. His reputation, though, is more of a entrepreneur. That is, he takes home big pay to the expense of company shareholders. They do own the ESPN of Europe, I think is is called Sky news sports (now I think called Eurosport.)

If Simon, Colin, and others get their release before August 1st, then things are noticeably better.

I can't pass up an opportunity to complain about it. So, this is an ongoing series for what? Twelve years now? They are released on the last Friday of the month, every three months, again for years...and there seems to be not even the resemblance of consistency. Shit show every time. It's their own damn date for God's sake...not mine.
I almost didn't subscribe in October...but I did...

Why is it that it takes this entity so long to get out shipping notices? Jerry Garcia ordering from them is a pleasure always get the shipping notice days before the release date ridiculous already. That being said why can they Not put o hi res jpg file on the order page of the cover art? They did it for Dave’s 36 why is this such a problem?

Gone way too soon

51

Looks like Monday. Though I will have the overpriced shot glass today!

Should have gotten the axe!

Some things never make sense

Dave's 51 playing on SiriusXM.

51 is not sold out yet, why play it before we have it?

I guess the moment the first person gets there's its time for radio.

Gotta say, BBM sounds really good.

Bet those Catholic School Girls fell for Pig...

51 supposed to be here by Monday but looks like I might get it tomorrow...at least that is better.

Gonna turn off siriusxm.

Box..

Just saw the Bulletin.. not a word about a box..

Dennis & Neil Young

Dennis - Not sure if you are a fan, but Neil Young just announced a new edition in his Archive series, a limited edition set (limit 5000), but at $450+ it is far too rich for me. I’ll be waiting for the slimmed down (see: cheaper, MUCH cheaper) non-limited version, depending on price, especially if it is sold on Bezos, with free & fast delivery.
- Neil Young Archives Vol. III (1976-1987)(17 CD & 5 Blu-Ray) [Deluxe Edition]

Mediocre and Bland?

I am probably just over saturated with GD at the moment

But I'll keep trying

And my newest reliable theory is that the box will be announced toward Christmas time

If Dave said a little while on the chat (I usually don't listen to the chats), he means months

RIP John Mayall

@Dave
John Mayall was in my ten first LP, the "turning point" a favorite album, trying blues with no drums and once more a new good band (john almond & jon Mak); I remmber listening the Bear from Laurel canyon album on the juke box in college. He made some great albums with P green, Mick Taylor, Harvey Mandel, he turns many young guys to the blues, as did the R Stones or Scorcese. Now is the time to listen "a hard day".
@ Cactus
How may you say , this"a medicre serie"? take off the thorn in your ... and readjust your position.
You should have missed a bunch of them. and remastering 2 tracks recording is just a non sense.
Listen to LA 73, Atlanta 80, Fresno 74, Miami 74, Nassau 73, bekerley72 and so on...
I will miss this one, Spring 71; Is this a multitracks recording as they prepare the skull & roses album?
71 is such a great year, new tunes from Garcia, magic Gd quartet in the houseboat tapes, new tunes again to end the year at the felt forum, T jed ramble on rose, Mr Charlie.. best wishes to the lucky subscribers

landed

Visiting a friends place on eastern shore Maryland, 51 was in the mailbox this morning, Disc one on the victrola now. Surprisingly early delivery, we did not expect. Audio good, bit raw/rough, esp. onset Casey Jones as dialed in, gremlins and warts. Usual tune as you go take offs. Phil low at first, vocals prominent, hot to somewhat distorted in chorus. Bar Band at the CYC, how did they pull that off. Billy is notably "on".

Neil Young

Archives vol. 3 can be preordered. 5000 units. This one is a boxzilla!

51...

...is here, fantastic timing...will be ready to go on our 5 hour ride to Lake Placid later this weekend, THNX Folks!

Shipping Notice?

I'm a DaP subscriber but no shipping notice yet . . . .

Rory Gallagher

Another box set for consideration is ‘The BBC Collection’ by Rory Gallagher. 17 cd and 2 BluRay, due out in October.

Rory!

The first Rory Gallagher album I bought was the outstanding 2-disc BBC Sessions—released in 1999; I think I bought mine in 2003 or 2004. What a superb introduction to one of the all-time all-around greats. 17 discs on this upcoming release! Sounds like a motherlode.

Rory Gallagher

Great guitar player!
Had the chance to see him live in 1973 and 1975 at the Jahrhunderthalle, Frankfurt.
One more show in 1976, Offenbach, Stadthalle.
Gone to early!!!
Cheers G.

Neil Young

Against my better judgement I’ve just ordered the limited edition version of Archives Vol III. The price is ridiculous but at least I’ll have all three in the same sized box!

My copy of #51 continues to languish in a bag/container in CA where it has been since the morning of the 23rd. There can’t be much traffic into the UK.

DP51 has arrived. Sounds amazing

Love this so far. Trying to imagine them playing in this room - just seems like an ordinary city building from the photo. A youth center - it's like seeing them at the YMCA.

They sound so primal - hard to believe in just 12 months they'd be hitting such a polished career peak in Europe.

Thanks Dave and team

Departed Fontana….

Should have it by next Friday.

Just started spinning 7-26-87 DVD.
A toast to Brent.

Getting Closer

Mine made it to Smyrna, TN this morning. Scheduled for Monday. Maybe, it will make it tomorrow?

7/26/87

written about several times.

the shakedown and leading into drums.

Wow!

Shakedown shows just how easily they shifted into serious improv. They drop in for about 6 minutes and then release. LLR and terrapin also shows this trait that they had hardly ever matched. Edit: OOOps - they reached many times but rarely where you can watch up close,

TN John - hope you get it tomorrow!!! Let us know!

Colin...

I sent you a PM.

Tracking

Thanks Simon I’ve replied in a PM.

Big Boss Man...

I just wondered if it's in the box as well ? BBM with Brent

You just won't let Jerry stop...

Rory Gallagher

Colin - thanks for the tip about that Rory Gallagher box - looks amazing. He was the first real blues guitarist I ever saw live, back in the early 70's - blew me away.

Tracker

shows delivery today.

Whoohoo.

Can it be 2 days b4 the scheduled time?

It is 1 mile away. Ah, the last mile can be the toughest.

In the country

DHL tell me my copy has arrived in customs at Heathrow. So I hope to see it in the next week.
As an aside I’ve just happened upon a fantastic documentary about Guy Clark ‘ Without Getting Killed or Caught’ available on Amazon Prime in the UK at least. Takes me back to buying ‘Old No 1’ a long time ago. A great songwriter.

Rory Gallagher

I can't remember how many many times I saw Rory Gallagher live, firstly with Taste then as a solo artist, but always in a trio. The main reason I saw him so often was that he seemed to play almost every festival in the late 60s and early 70s and I was an avid festival goer. He always played with maximum intensity and always got the audience going. I came to believe that he only possessed one shirt.

DP 51

Mine has apparently left Fontana and is scheduled to arrive to the Wolfman on Monday. Sigh. Whatever shall I do until then. Hmmm...DP03 spinning now. Maybe I'll get through a few until 51 arrives.

Colin

Pulling for you and Simon to have yours before August 1 release date.

I am sure you have also seen Heartworn Highways as Guy Clark is in there. If memory serves, I think he is more than likely the one working on an old guitar. He was quite the luthier.

What GD needs to do is place your individual releases as in non-descrip packaging with a price under $25 to possibly avoid the whole customs thing. I used to know more, but I think there is a waiver for small value education materials. Materials could be used on a musical thesis about GD. Sorry still a little groggy, sort of serious sort of goofin. But I do believe GD should look at all avenues which will help you get stuff faster.

.

....double post.

Surely you meant 7.26.87 Gary?....

....Anaheim. My second show. And don't call me Shirley.
We were probably 60 feet from the stage. Phil Zone. Hopefully they re-release View From The Vault in 4K so i can finally find myself.
51 arriving Monday. I usually hate Mondays, so that's a nice antacid.

Reno 5/12/74 Around & Around

OK, so I was listening to Around and Around from the 5/12/74 "Mars Hotel" release. It's just another quick Chuck Berry tune - usually there's not much to it, right?

Wrong. The band wraps up the song for the final closing lick and Jerry is having NONE of it. The band sticks the landing to end the song, but Jerry JUST KEEPS ROCKING, pulling them forward like a stubborn Great Dane on a leash. So the band tries again to end the song again. but Jerry again blows past them like an express train.

These moments are the glue that keep me coming back... when you can practically see the band's smiles and feel the audiences adrenaline as they're riding the crest of the wave for moments on end. The creamy filling

I love this band, and the whole scene around it. Thanks y'all for being a part of it.

Riding the crest....

....indeed. Santana coined the term "giving the crowd the hose" when he toured with Phish in the early '90's. Just showering the audience with bliss. Applicable to the Dead and many other bands as well.
The good stuff. The moments that gives one goosebumps. Insert the scene of Andy getting out of the prison in Shawshank Redemption here.

Early '71 vs Late '71

After listening to Dave's pics 51 last night, I also listened to some of the Fall 71 shows for a bit. I can totally see why they have focused on the late 1971 for the official releases. The band is much more dialed in, energized by the addition of Keith, and the recordings are much cleaner. DaP51 has a lot of spots where there's too much to gain/distortion in the mix, unfortunately.

Early '71 has great energy and some great moments, but late 1971 blows away Spring '71 in my opinion. If I could go back in time and watch one 1971 show, it would be late '71 for sure.

Happy Birthday Terrapin Station....

....released 47 years ago today.
Inspiration. Move me brightly.

My 5 cents (inflation, ya know)

71 is three versions of GD

through 2/18

then 2/19 through end of August

then 10/19 through 12/31/71

I cannough pick one show, Captain!

und...

I really wish November 1970 soundboards existed

I did mean

7/26/87.

Internet running slow, will go back and look, maybe i goofed.

Fall 1971

That's my favourite part of 1971, by some distance as well. With Keith on board they have all the energy of a newly formed band. More so than the addition of just one new member would suggest. I am quite happy with the "Ladies and Gentlemen" comp from late April 1971, and the two Portchester shows I have - 2/18 and 2/19, but I'm not sure I really want any more.

My favourite music from 1971 is that featured on Dicks Picks 2 - 10/31/71. Only a portion of the show released, and Keith so low in the mix he can hardly be heard - it's still amazing cd - and now record. One of the top10 releases in my eyes.

Music is the strongest form of magic.....

Hey rockers!!

Just got outta the morgue, people been dying to see me!! I know, lame forensic pathology joke.......

There are actually 4 1971 Grateful Deads:
Pre-Port Chester
Port Chester through August
October-November Keith no Pig
December Pig & Keith
Early and late 71 both have merits. Early more raucous, late smoother. Choose your poison....

There IS one November 1970 soundboard. The Fillmore East show on 11/16. Uneven but with some real high points, especially Weir's dreamy playing on the hard rocking Hard To Handle.

Also, two "close to November" shows----SUNY on 10/30 and 31. Not as crazy as the Port Chester shows that followed, but worth a listen........

Who hears music feels his solitude peopled at once......

Keep it rockin'!!!

Doc
I haven't understood a bar of music in my life, but I have felt it......
P.S. No 51 until next Tuesday, arrgh.................

Rory

That's great to hear. Lucky you! I discovered Rory only after his passing, sadly; mostly too young to have seen him here in California. Were most of your festivals in UK or USA? Peace!

Ok, 4

Any way you hear it, 71 rocks

Anyone check out Gojira @ the Olympics opening ceremony?....

....metal! Loved it 🤘

Rory

All the festivals that I saw Rory Gallagher play at were in the UK. I think the only other band I saw as often at festivals was the excellent Family. One of the best aspects of summers in the early 70s in England was the number of festivals that were organised. Such great times.

Olympics

Crazy, great opening ceremonies, very different which was the appeal. Missed the metal Vguy but the gal who sung Imagine was very good. A little discordant I thought to have her floating along with the flaming piano but a helluva stunt nonetheless.
Cheers

Big fan of the Olympics here....

....the one thing that unites this country. And we definitely need more of that. I'm all in.
YouTube it 1st Show.
No offense to the heads over the pond btw lol.
Russia and Belarus are banned from the games. I agree with that decision.
Athletes from those countries need to register as individual neutral athletes if they want to compete. Or AIN. Which doesn't make sense. Should be INA's?

Now I Did It

Went to the ytube to see the Gojira Olympic performance, which was way cool btw Vguy, especially liked the disembodied Marie head singing away which the wife had mentioned yesterday while it was on, and as frequently happens got stuck going around on the musical carousel with a Steve Morse rabbit hole. I may be busy for a while. What a resume that hall of fame guitarist has!
Future opening ceremonies will be hard pressed to top yesterday's.
Cheers

Gold Medal Dead

2/14/68, 2/27 & 28/69 , 3/1 & /2;/69, 5/2 & 15/70 , 4/28/71, 8/13/75, and on & on.

51 and Sphere

“If this band could somehow overcome the technical problems that seem to plague them and figure out a way to keep ticket prices low, they may hit it big someday.”

Bill Gottlieb

I love this choice. Thank you Dave. Like most recent releases, the sound quality is impeccable. You get a genuine sense the band is playing a small venue. Good Lovin and Hard to Handle - yup. Garcia’s tone on The Other One from Pitt is sublime.

I acknowledge that I am late to comment on the sphere, but it was astonishing. First night in front of the band, second night up top. Both fantastic for different reasons. I will say though, that I prefer getting to “that place” with the music alone, without the need for graphics. Even as cool as they were.

The bus came by

and I got on.

Received 2 full days before initial tracking showed delivery.

Was supposed to be Monday by 7pm.

Thanks so much Dave, and full crew!!!
