    Who's ready to boogie with a little Brent-era Grateful Dead from the Gateway to the West? DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 47 features the complete unreleased show from Kiel Auditorium, St. Louis, MO, 12/9/79 and you're going to need stamina because this one is high energy from start to finish.


    By the time December 1979 rolled around, Brent Mydland had fully cemented his place in the Grateful Dead canon with his twinkling keys, harmonic tenor, and songwriting skills. No more is that evident than at this show boasting 25 songs including soon-to-be classics from GO TO HEAVEN like "Alabama Getaway," "Don't Ease Me In," "Lost Sailor," and the Brent-penned "Easy To Love You." It's also packed with whirling takes on fan-favorites like "Brown-Eyed Women," "Shakedown Street," and "Terrapin Station." And you've never heard a 2nd set quite like this with eight songs before "Drums" including an improvised "Jam" launching from the end of "Saint Of Circumstance." It doesn't stop there though, with a blazing finale of "Bertha>Good Lovin'" and perhaps one of the best versions of "Don't Ease Me In" the band ever did play. We've rounded out Disc Three with an extra nugget from '79.

    Went to The Sphere opening night. Phenomenal! Out of body experience with the the portal during with or without you. Get section 305 row 20. You have a wall behind you to get up and boogie without harshing anyone out. The sound is unmatched for any venue even upstairs. U2 did a fantastic show with amazing visuals. Going closing night too in December. A truly unmatched event. Took a taxi, but it was a pain getting one back to Mandalay Bay, but worth every second and every penny! Shout out to Raphael ushering that night. A really nice u2 fan who came out of retirement to apply and work in hopes to see these shows. A good story for a good guy and a real fan. Better than the Silicon Valley Posers in their special luxury level.

    Looking forward to this one.

    Mr. Ones, we cannot forget the Terrapins, my favorite mascot in all of sports - beware the turtle. A good year for MD all around. Was at the 7th game of the '71 World Series. Roberto Clemente and those damned Pirates; missed it by that much.

    …and for what it’s worth (about 2 cents), I’ve been going to Orioles games since 1968, got ticket stubs to prove it. Go O’s!!
    Got my first SERIOUS listen to WOTF bonus disc yesterday. Loved it, but I want to play it at least 8 more times!! I look at it as if it’s an appetizer. Sure , a meal would be great, but sometimes an appetizer is JUST right. Band & recording sound good!!
    Let’s go Dead, Orioles, Ravens & Capitals, it’s Fall baby!!

    Baseball....the perpetually cruelest mistress known to the sports world

    Hockey....two statements: "Let's go Kraken" and "Oh no, not again"

    Football....no hate on the Dolphins, but it would be wild if they got shut out today.

    Very impressive. I think at first it will be a novelty. The vids from U2 were nice, but I don't need to see landscape shots while listening to music. This is gonna take someone with vision to show us what it can really do. Pink Floyd could do some wild stuff. The Dead could be awesome. If you could make a moving tie-dye that varies to the music that be way cool. A screen that big should have motion and NOT distract from the music.

    The video for With or Without You was cool when it got the part of entering "the eye". The one for streets have no name, so so,,, very nice picture, but, a landscape?

    What were tickets going for Vman?

    We once saw a guy fall from the upper tier of the old Buffalo Aud at a Dead show. No idea how badly they were hurt. Help Is On The Way!

    The Marlins are going to the post-season....

    ....for the first time in twenty years.
    2020 doesn't count. Shortened covid season.
    Been a fan since 1993. Because I didn't have a favorite baseball team then. But I was a Dolphins fan.
    Figured I'd get in from the ground floor.
    Watching some more of Sphere videos. You want cameras and chompers? You got it. I get it though. Sign O' The Times.
    There appears to not be a lighting truss.
    At least for The Edge & Co.
    The sound sounds good on cellphones though. I will reserve to pass judgment until I witness it firsthand.
    It's only a matter of time. I will walk though. There's a secret parking lot less than a mile away that's free. I could use the exercise anyway.

    Loved the Dylan Farm Aid appearance! Mike and the lads were sublime in backing the Bard. He threw a few curveballs. Old ass Bob playing a lot of electric solos - the old bastard found his way around the fretboard and for a guitar player it was an absolute joy to see him get reacquainted with his instrument. I don't think he spent weeks shredding to prepare for this event. It was clumsy as fuck but so endearing. Like an elderly uncle who one cannot get enough of even if he does tell the same stories over and over and certain details change...

    Bob is old. The Stones are old. Most of you are fucking old. I'm 54. I'll carry the torch for the Stones and Bob and U2 until the cows come home. Anyone see that U2 thing in Las Vegas at the Sphere? Jesus Christ. Christ himself may book a residency and Elvis and Frank Sinatra and the Stones and everyone else will - just watch. The Beatles were the guinea pig with "Love" and that didn't hold a candle although charming. Orb will be booked solid months in advance. This, my friends, is the future of the live concert experience.

    It's not like artists of this caliber or genre are coming along again. It is what it is. Be glad you lived through the golden era of the finest rock musicians that have ever taken the stage.

    And btw... what are the chances of a Jerry Garcia led Grateful Dead residency there?

If you see this, wanted to update you. Last years "Undertaking" turned out to be awesome. Getting ready for the second trip through the Series. Last year, by watching them in quick succession, I really harvested much knowledge on the overall story line.

The filler on disc 3 from 12/4/79 is stunning! Stella Blue in particular is an all-timer to these ears!

1979-12-04? could it be the filler you're looking for?
it would certainly round out that daP 51 very nicely, right?
1970-10-24, well, you know Dave won't be that predictable lol or...?
Peace All!
