    18,000 happy Dead Heads could not be wrong. Deer Creek, my how you deliver.

    We're closing the books on DAVE'S PICKS 2021 with not one but two - nearly - complete shows from Noblesville, IN 7/18/90 & 7/19/90. Yes, we've packed it all on four CDs, save for that second night encore which we promise you'll get to hear in the very near future. Sometimes there really is just too much good stuff.

    For now, we'll invite you to cozy up with two exceptional back-to-back shows, shows with precision and clarity, shows with more than a lion's share of exploratory jams, and most importantly, shows that were simply a damn good time for all. Highlights from night one include the bookends of a spectacular "Help>Slip!>Franklin's" and an epically intricate "Morning Dew" followed by a classic cover of "The Weight." Night two, is the sleeper hit, with flawless playing from start to finish, the set list inviting you to find new favorites in top-notch renditions of "Foolish Heart" or "Victim Or The Crime," and if that's not one of the finest versions of "Desolation Row" Bobby ever did do! We would be remiss if we didn't mention that these shows were among Brent's last and they are some of his finest of the era at that.

    Limited to 25,000 numbered copies, DAVE’S PICKS VOL. 40: DEER CREEK MUSIC CENTER, NOBLESVILLE, IN 7/18 & 19/90 was recorded by Dan Healy and has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman.

    Is turning out to be a delightful sample of Jer's band with K & D, Kahn and Tutt (RIP) circa '76.

    While the rockers really rock, and the Motown tunes have the pulsing rhythm they need, I just listened to an initially somnabulent Friend of the Devil that turns out soulfully slow, not plodding as it did with the GD. Now, Russian Lullabye, a real low-dynamic treat that features Jer / Kahn interplay.

    The Motown tunes don't have the huge sound characteristic of the early '90s Jer band juggernaut, but rather a spare and sweet sound. Donna Jean's fine vocals really complement Jer's, especially in such a relatively low-volume setting. Keith, JK and Tutt are in fine form as well.

    A most welcome addition to the Jer solo shelf. FWIW, recommended by HF.

    Now I'll have to look for where the chronological gaps in my Jer collection exist, just to place future releases in my mind. His camp has only released one clunker -- the New Year's disaster with Nicky Hopkins, GarciaLive 5, 12-31-75 -- so they're batting average is considerably better than the GD's, though that's to be expected with the latter's far greater volume of releases.

    Folks, don't forget the OSF releases. I'm unflinchingly buying every Jer solo release and OSF release and ~75% of all GD vault releases. And a jillion other archival releases. No wonder I'm a little short at the end of the month..... short, but happy. Just imagine Yosemite Sam laying down his pistols for a relaxing glass of firewater in the recliner with a pipeful of dine-o-mite.

    Best, worst, loudest, etc

    Loudest was probably bar bands because the venue is small and when you’re drinking you’re dumb enough to stand in front of a speaker.

    Worst sound quality from a ‘professional’ band was probably Van Halen 2007 Philips Arena. Volume was way too loud (sound guy had to beat Spinal Tap and go to 12) and all the instruments blurred together. And I was on the floor to the right of the soundboard. Then to pour salt on the wounds, the sound system failed for Eddie’s solo and we could only hear the speakers on the stage. At one point Eddie stopped playing and threw up his hands in frustration.
    Can’t blame Philips Arena for Van Halen’s poor sound quality, I saw Roger Waters there 3 times and D&C 2 times and the sound quality was excellent for all of them.

    GD 5-12-74 Reno
    I wasn’t there but was told that the Wall of Sound could be heard quite a ways away and people complained.

    2017 Rolling Stones played GA Tech’s football stadium. My house was 6 miles away and I could hear music, not clear enough to determine what was being played, but you could tell it was music and not industrial rumble.

    Simonrob with phrase of the day: chemically compromised.
    Was it Simon? Can’t scroll down and check while typing. An old version of this site did allow you to do that.

    Gary Farseer,
    I saw The Who July 89 (a week after I saw GD at Alpine) row 32 floor of the Pontiac Silverdome. That was awesome!! It was the greatest hits show which I actually wanted to see more than a complete Tommy. There are several of the PPV shows from that tour on utoob.

    Doing my first spin of Garcia 17 as I type this. I prefer complete shows rather than compilations and chop jobs, but I’ll take all the ‘76 JGB I can get.

    I believe that early bird pricing for DaP 2022 subscription ends today.
    DaP 42 + bonus should be announced before the full price subscription window closes.

    Deep thoughts with Jack Handy:
    Why would you pay full subscription price when you could have gotten early bird pricing?

    First Show - Beach Boys 11/23/66 Baltimore Civic Center with Chad and Jeremy opening. We all wore ties and sports coats and the ushers wouldn't let us stand

    First Dead - Capital Center 7/29/74 w/ Phil and Ned at intermission

    My wife's first Dead- RFK 1973 and second Watkins Glen - I think she got off to a good start!

    Loudest show - The Guess Who at Loyola College in Baltimore around 1970 while I was in high school. Ear blisteringly loud and uncomfortable for a smallish gym.

    Last show with major acts The Peach Fest in 2019

    Who?

    Speaking of the Who, my favorite production so far is the PPV of 1989 with Patti Labelle singing Acid Queen. I paid for the PPV and still have the VHS tapes but I also bought it on DVD when it came out. Really thought Simon Phillips on drum brought back the missing spark. Sounded incredible live thru the smaller BBS I had at the time.

    Speaking of 1989 wish Dave would remaster the Summer Solstice show from 1989 PPV, including the whole video footage of crowd, an internal shakedown with artists and the whole intermission break. Ha, One can ask. I also ordered that PPV and it was a great night at home doing some dosed cranking...

    Or is it Great Loud Funkload? Grand Farner Loadloud? I give up.

    I'm not sure why, considering the occasional barrage of cheese from even the finest of the 1970s rock dinosaurs, that GFR get shit on so much. Perhaps most are only familiar with "We're An American Band," and the like, but the band were capable of some really good R&B covers and originals, such as "Bad Time," and "Some Kind of Wonderful."

    At any rate, modern live sound has advanced SO much in even the past 10 years. Having seen both Eagles and Dead & Co. on their 2021 Fall tours, both had impeccable live sound that carried magnificently from the first row to the last (and D&C was outside at Red Rocks, mind you) with great clarity and punch - without being overly loud.

    The technology has just gotten so much better - you can get a quality bang your head rock and roll experience up front, closer to the banks of PA speakers as well as backline if you want it - without blowing your eardrums. Roger Waters hands down had the best live sound I have ever heard both on The Wall tour as well as the Dark Side that preceded it - flawless, impeccable live sound that I could not imagine being any better without coming from inside my head.

    I have residual tinnitus that comes in and out all the time from a lifetime of musical enjoyment. The weird covid shit floating around everywhere seems to have exacerbated it for me as well as many others I know. I don't have it as bad as many and I refuse to let it affect my quality of life. I try to ignore it when it comes on until I forget it's even happening, and then for all practical intents and purposes, it isn't. Zen Jedi mind over matter.

    It was also at Red Rocks in the early 1990s when I totally blew out the hearing on my right side. I was more of a metal dumb ass then, went to see Scorpions, Great White and Mr. Big. Nothing wrong with that kind of party, but we got there late and made the ill-fated decision to get up into the first couple of rows.

    First couple of rows all the way to the right. So we spent the show facing due left and were literally bludgeoned by heavy metal PA for hours on end. Now it was nothing new to leave a venue with my ears ringing, but it was entirely new to wake up the next day deaf in my right ear. Not totally deaf, but everything sounded like when you put a seashell up to your ear. People's voices sounded out from under a wet blanket. Day two after the show, the hearing started to come back, and to this day my right ear has fully recovered and is just as good (bad?) as my left one.

    My buddy had the same experience. While sustained hearing damage may have been justifiable to see Jimi Hendrix or the Who back in the day, seeing this ho-hum metal triple bill was surely not. Thank God we persevered.

    Cheers!

    Now there is a name from the distant past. I saw them at Bickershaw Festival in 1972. They played on the Saturday before Captain Beefheart. They were just average as I recall. Do they really still exist? It seems that they may have improved with time, lots of time.

    I am so far behind on posting...

    Loudest ever The Steve Morse Band in really tiny club. Stood maybe 3 feet from left PA stack. I still like to crank my BBS but have started to have some tinnitus in left ear, where my head was next to the stack. The Who, and I know the Who in 1976 set the Guinness World Record for awhile, was loud but Yes 1976 on the crab nebula tour was really loud as they were in my home town arena that holds 11,000 but only had about half attendance. They had basically the same PA as the shows they would do the next week at RFK and JFK. Even a song like Wonderous Stories was loud. Was a awesome show. Other times seeing Yes was more balanced and in my opinion the only band that had a sound anywhere close to matching what Bear, Healy, The Meyers, and Don Pearson (and others) created. The 1976 tour was with Patrick Moraz and included Sound Chaser and the Gates of Delirium. Then right there with them was Blue Oyster Cult in 1977 and 1981. For these shows we learned to sit in the back of the arena dead center to get the full force of the PA. Have a lot more to write about this and how it relates to Dead releases.

    Wanted to say Thanks to Doc for including me last week in a Deadication, always feels good to be accepted.

    Hopefully more tomorrow.

Fav of your 5's - Estimating profs Gary Burton Eberhard Weber Passengers. So good. Saw Gary and Chick in '76 era in Boulder. Fun with Fungi.
Everyone's jazz references have me starting a long put off project dividing all the vinyl into categories. I need to be able to go to what I'm in the mood for, not what I may be lucky to find alphabetically. A heretical thought but it must be done. I just can't remember all that's there anymore.

50 years ago today…..

October 26, 1971
The Palestra, University of Rochester, Rochester, New York

Set 1: Bertha-Playing In The Band-Sugaree-Me And My Uncle-Tennessee Jed-Big Railroad Blues-Me And Bobby McGee-Cumberland Blues-Cold Rain And Snow-Mexicali Blues-Loser-Beat It On Down The Line-El Paso-Comes A Time-One More Saturday Night

Set 2: Ramble On Rose-Sugar Magnolia-Truckin'>drums>The Other One-Johnny B. Goode

Deadicated to Nugent7453, Lovemygirl, 1stshow70878, CaseyJanes, Born Cross Eyed in 1956, 80sfan, Vguy72, jminner, and woodstock950, because Tuesday’s gone……..

For some reason, there was a weird dip in western New York…………

Solid, if unspectacular, first set, followed by a weirdly short second set. Go figure,,,,,,

For some strange reason, in 2005 it was officially released as part of the Digital Download Series. Go figure…,.,..

Still, the Truckin’ and Other One are nice. Here, Garcia’s tone and approach are different than the usual creamy smooth late 71----ragged, jagged, angry, chaotic. Not first tier, or even second, but still worth an occasional listen…….

Rock on!!

I'm not so sure I would welcome more 1977, my self. I think I've got all that has been officially released so far. Having said that, I dimly remember both 10/1/77 and 10/2/77 as being shows I liked back in the day. Very long Casey Jones to open the first set at 10/2/77 as I recall.

I wonder if 1972 will be celebrated next year in any way, it being 50 years since it passed. Given the recent box, maybe not. But that is one year I never feel I have too much of. A trip back to the 60s is long overdue, too, of course.

Otherwise known as our supermodel ex girlfriend. Yea.. she was great but after a while...

I do love and respect 1977 GD and do look forward to 5/26/77 Baltimore getting released, which would make a great season opener.. other that.. Dave, some 1968 please, immediately followed by some 1969. How does that song go, we haven't seen that spirit here since...........

1968 in 2022 or we storm the vault and free the reels.. last warning, we are gathering pitchforks and torches as I write this. 1968 or bust.

Isn't it cool they still call it "shipping"? You know, like it was going on a ship? Across the water? Anyway...

No shipping for me. Yet. And that's FINE (as mom used to say).

Lately, I seem to get stuff from dead.net about a week after the official release date. I get a shipping (shipping!) notice about two days before the release date, and then it sits in the warehouse for a 3-4 days, and then when it finally starts moving, it gets here in 3-4 days. Could be worse. It kinda surprises me that, being in California, it still takes that long. But, it do.

Ah well. Still working through the StL box anyway. Not to mention Road Trips 4/4, which I ordered when it was on sale at Real Gone, came yesterday. Just kind of filling in a gap in my collection with that one. Listened to disc one yesterday, which was solid.

One man gone and another to go, my old buddy you're movin much toooo slooooooooooow.

Says mines arriving Friday. I'm really looking forward to this one. I have a couple of decent versions on tape but look forward to an extra crispy copy directly from the masters. It's so sad that these are among the last of Brents performances, but he went down at the top of his musical game. He pushed the band at this time in their history into some truly transcendental jamming. There are other great shows from this tour that should also be released.

The term "shipping" is one modern use of terminology born of of seafaring. Downriggers and those who work the rails in theater still use nautical terminology.

50th of 72 next year should be interesting. The big enchilada being E72 should have some good company from some of those monster Summer shows.

Hey ADedhed68, haven't gotten my notice either and just like the last 3 releases it seems the show will only be sent out the day of (or a day before) the official release. Super disappointing, I know, but my best success has been to either directly message Marye or write to the Daves Picks Priority Service email. By no means will it hurry it up but at least you can get confirmation that your Dave's Picks is still on the way. Hope this helps quell any worries but I totally feel the frustration :/

For some reason, shows from summer of this year tend to be a bit off my radar-apart from you know what. I divide 1972 up into Europe and the New York shows leading up to it, and then Fall. So....definitley a yes for me for a summer 1972 box next year.
Currently listening to 9/24/72, from 30 Trips. I never particularly rated this show - which is a bit perplexing to me now. I don't knpw what I was looking for and didn't find. Maybe it was because the 1967, 68, 69, 70 and 71 shows in the big box ar so transcendent that this one seemed a bit disappointing. Anyway - it hits the spot now. Better late than never.
Friend of the Devil is much more pleasant to me at this faster clip.

Did anyone on this forum ever buy (and receive) the cartoon book ("graphic novel") that included an LP of an October '68 show? (Unsure of the date.)

Speaking of which, here the Dead start off high. Decent doses of country-western-Weir-Bakersfield. Fine, hard rockin’ conclusions to both sets. Maybe not classic, but certainly worth a listen!

37 years ago today, I was at the B.C.T. for the start of a cool run of shows with the Grateful Dead. Rick Griffin put out a great poster for this set of shows. Going to see the Dead in Berkeley was always nice, because we would go to Everett & Jones B.B.Q. after the show.

Check Dead Net just opened to preorders but releasing in April of '22 looking very cool! Would love to see those shows also released on streaming platforms but I'll wait. Also Dave revealed Dave's Picks #41 and I should say it is a mighty fine show. Looks like it's gonna be a great year!

Inquiring minds want to know.

Saw Phish last night. The crowd was high energy (Molly), and they did a nice Sneakin' Through the Alley with Sally, and an Oye Como Va jam. Not too familiar with their tunes, otherwise.
By my count, there were more Dead shirts than Phish shirts.
Vegas is next with a four show run. Recommended. Two thumbs up.

I think I'm going to go ala carte this year. If I find out that Dave's #42 is two shows from 1968, 1969, or 1970, I may jump on board and subscribe.

No, I take no credit.. it was wissinomingdeadhead that pulled this one seemingly out of thin air. I just seconded that emotion.

Good pick. If we get a '74 in the second slot.. well, that would be humorous and formulaic.

Saw 14 shows of Phish from 95-03.

Been meaning to catch another just haven't done it. They hit Nashville and places around me almost every tour.

The city closest to me is building a $45 million new amphitheater. It is a classic Greek amphitheater like Berkley.

Ben Lovett of Mumford and Sons is the artist representative on the board. A year ago he discussed that this will be one of the greatest musical venues worldwide. He said he has played everywhere around the world from the toilet, i.e. diver bars, to the greatest theaters arenas and stadiums. Paraphrasing at best from memory. The audience is going to be blown away, but the backstage amenities will draw even the biggest of acts. Rumor is Phish will be grand opening act. That would be nice. Who knows this old fart may go psychedelic if that were true (maybe).

If anyone wants to read more, do a search on Mumford and Sons' Bob Levitt discusses new amphitheater.

Got a shipping notice for DaP 40. Of course, when it will show up is another matter.
I think Listen To The River is splendid!!! I could criticize the flaws and inconsistences. But considering the tapes were made fifty years ago without the intention of producing them commercially, I'll gladly take we have.
Got permission to order Dave's Picks subscription for next year. You folks in relationships know what I'm talking about when I say "permission." ;D
Great time to be a Dead Head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

50 years ago today…..

October 29, 1971
Allen Theater, Cleveland, Ohio

Set 1: Truckin'-Sugaree-El Paso-Loser-Playing In The Band-Brown Eyed Women-Beat It On Down The Line-Brokedown Palace-Jack Straw-Tennessee Jed-Mexicali Blues-Big Railroad Blues-Casey Jones

Set 2: Cryptical Envelopment>drums>The Other One>Me And My Uncle>The Other One> Cryptical Envelopment>Deal-Sugar Magnolia-Ramble On Rose-Not Fade Away>Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad>Not Fade Away-One More Saturday Night

Deadicated to rivrain, direwulf, helena buckett, hockey_john, 101874winterland,
rdevil, samthardman, wjonjd, and wharfratwhitey, because the past……

No rough road here, this is a wonderful combination of smooth, rockin’, country/western, and Bakersfield. Fellow rockers, I have to admit I love this show!! It’s one of my great guilty pleasures from late 71, although nobody should feel guilty about liking a show as fine as this!!

Really fine Truckin’ to open the very Bakersfieldish first set. The Dead come charging right out in the second set with a great big jam, and wrap things up nicely with a solid NFA suite followed by Bobby’s new-at-the time rocker One More Saturday Night.

Possibly the best of the October shows, and worthy of official release!!!

Rock on!!

40 landed here yesterday, I've taken-in the first show in an inaugural listen.
The mix is a bit rocky out of the gate, which is unfortunate cause I love me some Help- Slip -Franklin's opener; things get pretty dialed-in by the time Slipknot rolls around. Bobby jumps into Franklin's a fraction of a moment too soon, but it doesn't ruin anything at the end of the day. Things move along at a decent clip and the first set is enjoyable; a notable Peggy'O with just the right amount of reverb on Jerry's hauntingly beautiful solo and a nicely jammed Cassidy paired with a rocking Deal close out set 1. I really dig the Chinacat and the transition swells and builds multiple times until Bobby nudges Jerry into the climax before it settles into Rider. The Looks Like Rain is actually really good, with some great sound techniques being utilized. The Terrapin is sprawling and the little jam coming out the other end is definitely interesting - was that Mickey who prompted that entire little run at the end there? One of the drummers coaxes this jam out of the band and it's cool. The Other One doesn't let up at all once it gets going with a couple of raunchy Phil Bombs in there for good Measure; followed by a typically epic Dew. I always loved The Weight, so it's fulfilling to see it pop on a Dave's as an encore.

Looking forward to the 7/19 show, it shall be spun today.
Happy Friday Deadfreaks.
