    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.

    First, Last, Loudest

    First live show: The Sound of Music at the Lunt-Fontaine in NYC, probably 1963, with my parents.

    First rock show: Allman Bros. at Roosevelt Stadium in Joisy City, 6-6-74. Dad took us.

    First unsupervised trip to NYC for a show: Frank Zappa at the Felt Forum, Halloween (early show), 11-31-75.
    Little did the folks know that they were releasing the beast. Oh, yeah.

    Loudest: A tossup between Aerosmith, 12-16-76 at MSG (and I saw pretty much every big-name act at the Garden between late '75 and Aug. '77), and The Who, 10-6-16, at the Santa Barbara Bowl (5th row left, in front of the PA).

    Last show before Covid: Ricky Skaggs, 3-9-20

    First show after "back to normal": Pat Metheny, 9-29-21

    Most recent should-have-been: Dave Grisman (cancelled), 11-11-21

    Most recent: the Immediate Family, 11-6-21

    Next up: Bela Fleck, 12-15-21.

    Who do I look like? I have been told that am Roy Buchanan's doppelganger, but to me I just look like sad, old Chevy Chase.

    The Faces in October 1973. I still think they were one of the all-time great bands, and it still kind pisses me off that Rod Stewart decided he’d rather go make disco records with a bunch of studio hacks rather than rock with Ronnies Wood and Lane, not to mention Kenny Jones and Ian Maclagan. What a band. The coulda shoulda woulda given the Stones a run for their money.

    Loudest was probably Meat Puppets circa 1994. This was in a small-ish club, and I think at that time they were touring as an opening act for Stone Temple Pilots, so their equipment was probably waaaay too loud for the room. It’s the only show I can ever remember where it was so painfully loud that I had to go outside and a take break mid-show. Couldn’t hear shit for days.

    I think the last thing I saw before everything shut down was Titus Andronicus. Seems like a million years ago.

    Poor young grandson, there’s nothing I can say, you’ll have to learn just like me, and that’s the hardest way.

    Nappy, last, and loudest

    First, happy, happy, joy, joy to good ole Nappy! Many more good sir!
    Hellava start: Airplane/Dead in 67, boo-yah!

    LAST: Gary Clark jr. Fall 2019, Nat Rateliff and the Nightsweats fall 2019, D&C Boulder summer 2019.
    Had tix for D&C 2920, and Phil fall 2021 but didn’t feel comfortable yet so got refund.
    Still waiting to for that cup to be filled…

    LOUDEST: LOL. Some of the bands I played in were pretty loud, not good, but loud!
    Gray Matter we basically had late 70s Dead stage gear only in little hole in the wall dives. We played a battle of the bands once and first song was Deal. Just as were peaking out on it we blow the power. Now this is at a R&R club that hosted many acts including the popular well known but now lesser drawing kind of acts. So the infrastructure was much more than a typical bar. But with all those MC2300s and a big PA when we hit that big crescendo on the outro, complete with bass bomb, we’ll boom boom out went the lights. Sound guy was flummoxed “do you really need all those amps” LOL.

    Working for some pretty loud hard rock bands too. Eventually we realized that we should ware protection so got some Norton Sonic 2s: sonic filters that protect but still let you actually hear the music. They were a little bass heavy though so we modified them by sticking a booger sized piece of duct tape in the opening. Much more even frequency response which is crucial if your mixing, especially monitors where you need to hear harmonics and other tells BEFORE things start to feedback. Great product, wish I still had them though I’m not in loud situations much anymore.
    90-95 dB peaks on the home system is plenty loud for this old timer. BITD that would of been more like 100 dB plus lol. But hey, it was good clean Mac power!

    The Who 12/4/79 was way too loud. They were I believe using a Meyers PA even before the Dead did full time, but they weren’t using it properly: way too shrill!
    Over the years many situations that made it loud, but my all time most notable was the Dead on 5/17/81, smoking show! I ride a bus myself, scored a ticket at the last minute, walked in, never looked at my ticket, just saw an opening in the third row, boom.
    Well they were still using Clair Brothers PA with the big square boxes, but they were stacked on the ground, not hung. So my seat was way left near the end of the row, which was just mere feet away from the PA. Also, JG was trying out the new McIntosh MC 2500 that was replacing the 2300s. (Probably since Binghamton was very near)
    He didn’t use them very long so I’m wondering if they were too much for his needs? He stuck with the 2300s decades after they stopped making them.
    Man was he screaming loud that night, you can really tell on a good Aud tape. So combine that with my proximity to the PA and, well, I’m lucky I didn’t do permanent damage as my ears rang for several days afterward. The worst part was I had my first collage final the next day and couldn’t hear the Proff give the directions at all, just ringing!
    I think it’s a testament to clean loud versus dirty loud. Your ears can tolerate clean loud easier than all that distortion cranked to 11. But they’ll also get damaged without you necessarily knowing it right away due to lack of pain from the distortion. A quieter distorted sound while damage your ears way quicker than a louder clean one!

    Not sure about loudest but worst was the Stones at a stadium show late 70s, perhaps early 80s?
    As was often the case with the big stadium shows back then, after the first 3 to five acts, and after the headliner had started you could just walk in. But it was so loud and terrible sounding we left even though it was free! You could hardly tell what song they were playing. Always left a bad vibe for me about the Stones: just another way they (to me) were sell outs. High ticket prices but shitty sound, very opposite the Dead!

    GarciaLive 17 just landed and it looks tasty. I caught that band at Seton Hall University in South Orange, NJ, on 17 Sept '76 and man, everyone in the hall was blasted on blow that night. Or at least it seemed that way to the white-wallers I went with. The floor was open and absolutely everyone was twirling (or swirling, in our case). The band seemed to be tooting as well and the "songs" were 10-15 minute excursions apiece. All just minutes from my childhood home... And we'd seen 3-4 GD shows that June in Boston and the Capitol in lovely Passaic, NJ.

    First, Latest, Loudest

    The aforementioned Culture Club in 1983 was my first. I lived a few hours from the Twin Cities, so I missed a lot of shows I would have loved to have seen. I was 13 at that show, and my friend's older sister drove us to the show. I can't believe my parents allowed it; they were pretty strict.

    Latest--I have seen some great string quartets lately, and went to Adam Meckler Orchestra (groovy big band) recently. Those shows were all outdoors or required proof of vaccination and masks. Things are going badly here in MN right now, as far as Covid goes, so I've skipped a few shows recently. And I just can't bring myself to pay more than about $30/ticket anymore, when so much amazing classical and jazz is inexpensive or free, and at those shows one can sit in a beautiful 300-person (or less) theater with no lines for anything. Other than Dark Star, I think my live rock-n-roll days are behind me, and I'm only 51!

    Loudest--everything at First Ave. is TOOOO loud, so I've walked out of shows there. I left a Living Colour concert there once when I couldn't discern any notes or lyrics . . . just a painful smoosh of noise. I think I left a Blues Traveler show there once . . . And my wife and I walked out of Yonder Mt. String Band at First Ave.; somehow they couldn't even leave the volume down for acoustic music. :( My friend used to practically LIVE at First Ave. back in the day, and now he's been battling tinnitus for years.

    Too many to remember but I do remember physical pain to the point where I was using my taller friend as a shield and even squatting down a couple of times when it got intense. Couldn't even find a tissue or something to plug my ears. Good thing it was an open air show!
    You guessed it GD 7-08-78. You can hear one of those moments during Ship of Fools. Jerry scorched me! But that can happen when you play with fire. No regrets and no permanent damage and only now losing some hearing on one side.
    My first tape of this show taken from the Italian bootleg CD has a better take on this than the box set CD. You can really hear the amps buzzing loudly before the start of the second set. That CD came out in '95-'96 on Red Robin (?) so was that some of the Betty's from ABCD leaking out? Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks
    Cheers all!

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.
Starting my next 5 in the ECM label area.

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.

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.)

Even an “average1971 show” has its high points…………

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!

Rock on!!

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.

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.

J/K:

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Monday. I am not married I am single. I do have a girl friend with benefits. I don't need permission, but I am very reasonable with myself.

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.
