    You can listen to Grateful Dead records over and over again and never understand the attraction they have for certain people until you attend one of their concerts. Sometime during the Dead's usual five-hour set, it will all click: Jerry Garcia's Indian bead string of notes on the guitar, the ozone ooze of the vocal harmonies, the shifting, shuffling rhythm of bassist Phil Lesh and drummer Bill Kreutzmann, and the distant echo of the oldest of American folk music. - Columbia Flier

    "Certain people" will know that we're coming in hot with one that's got all these things and more, DAVE’S PICKS VOLUME 41: BALTIMORE CIVIC CENTER, BALTIMORE, MARYLAND, 5/26/77. Yes, there's still plenty of spectacular May '77 to go around. Nearly chosen for Dave's Picks Vol. 1, 5/26/77 delivers three-fold. There's one count for the energy - all the precision of the Spring tour conjuring up the raw power of the Fall tour that was to come. There's another for the setlist which featured beloved songs from WORKINGMAN'S DEAD and soon-to-be favorites from the freshly recorded TERRAPIN STATION. And a third for its element of surprise (or shall we say surprises) from an astonishingly peak 15-minute "Sugaree" to new delights ("Sunrise," "Passenger," "Jack-A-Roe') to a rare first-set finale of "Bertha" to the second set's "Terrapin>Estimated>Eyes," traveling leaps and bounds towards the improvisational journey that is a nearly 17-minute "Not Fade Away." 

    Limited to 25,000 numbered copies, DAVE’S PICKS VOLUME 41: BALTIMORE CIVIC CENTER, BALTIMORE, MARYLAND, 5/26/77 was recorded by Betty Cantor-Jackson and has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering. Grab a copy while you can.

    In the old days, when you paid to have something done, you were rewarded by getting it ON release date! Today was listed as release date! Not only did I NOT receive my new CD, it appears that you haven't even bothered to ship it yet! This total lack of concern for your long term supporters, is soon going to bite you in the A$$!

    Amen to that. Always a worry when people feel the need to be at war with others who have different beliefs or ideas. I wouldn't want to be part of a society where everyone agrees with each other, and tries to shut down debates that question the status quo.

    And You Saw Hendrix?

    So last week Sis tells me she saw a Dead show at Mammoth Gardens 4/24/70. Now she sent info about "another good show she saw", the Denver Pop Festival including 6/29/69 where she saw the final performance of The Jimmy Hendrix Experience. The festival was largely overshadowed by Woodstock two months later but was a Barry Fey three day gig for $15 with great lineups and setlists. Only four years removed from her "generation" but I had no idea Denver's scene was that good back then. Going to have to get some stories from her.
    Cheers!
    Edit: Listened to the aud. recording she sent with it. Interesting hour or so with the last song missing (Voodoo Child/Slight Return). Not Jimi's best, but he was blazing. Some bad stories about the teargas, etc. there at Mile High. Wasn't long after that a similar incident at a Red Rocks show with Jethro Tull got rock shows banned from that venue for many years. Times were tougher for hippies before I started going to shows, but I guess it happened to us as well when the scene just got too big later.

    Apologies for misreading. Pink Floyd also seemed to be the main band that people in England got into when they started smoking dope in the early 70s. They were so big by 1977, that John Lydon-nee Rotten, in one of his attempts to upset the masses, wore a Pink Floyd tee shirt with "I hate" scrawled on before the bands name. Nick Mason put a replica of this tee shirt on display at the Pink Floyd exhibition in London a few years ago.

    Though it does get ugly around here from time to time, mainly third and fourth Dave's of the year announcements and box sets.

    But glad to hear all the excellent tales of Pink Floyd earlier years. I dig that stuff a lot, and love that box set. Would have loved seeing them back then. Though I could totally understand somebody freaking out during Careful With That Axe.

    Era wars?

    Alvarhanso-sorry to come back so quickly-but that phrase "era wars" always puzzles me a bit. I don't think there is a single band or artist I have liked where I have liked all their work. Most, if not all, of the ones I liked in the early 70's left me a bit cold as the decade progressed. A random sample - The Stones, David Bowie, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Hawkwind - yes, it is everyone! - personnel changed, style, approach, inspiration...they all seemed to follow a similar trajectory-rise, peak, decline. And maybe repeat the pattern. I never saw myself as a long term "fan" of any band, who needed to like everything they did. I have also never felt the slightest animosity to anyone who sees things differently-or who likes a different era of a specific band to me though. I am certainly not at war with anyone!
    A lot of bands I have liked for decades - but there is a massive difference in quality - to me anyway- in the music they produced during that time.

    Alvarhanso - in some respects, the era of Pink Floyd leading up to Dark Side seems to have gained currency in recent years. The Early Years 1965-1972 box set is a treasure trove. And those gigs Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets played a few years ago, focussing on those years, were brilliant-to me, anyway. A cover band for sure, but one with credibility and fire power. They opened with Interstellar Overdrive and Astronomy Domine. Top that.

    To me, Pink Floyd had three eras. First the Syd Barrett one, swiftly followed by the experimental phase, when Rick Wright was more influential. Rick Wright was also hugely important in developing their sound when Syd was at the helm - a very underrated musician. Then the Dark Side and beyond years, which seemed to be dominated more by Dave Gilmour and Roger Waters.

    Nappy - that gig where they played Careful With That Axe Eugene sounds good. They did do a few well known soundtracks for films-but that experimental phase always struck me as something that would have gone well with horror films. Something by Dario Argento, perhaps.

    Hey Oro...

    First, an apology for my addled memories...the choice between going to the Hollywood Bowl for PF or the Hollywood Palladium two weeks earlier for the GD was based purely on the fact that I'd rather see GD...DSOTM wasn't even released until 6 months or so after the Bowl gig... touring with unheard music was pretty ballsy...the Mother Heart Atom show was great with a small orchestra and choir accompanying the band...it started with "Astronomy Domine" and it just got crazier then that...during the floating wisps intro to "Careful With That Ax Eugene" a guy sitting in the orchestra pit, stood up with his hands over his ears yelling "STOP"...his friends tried to calm him but it didn't seem to help...Waters walked over to the edge of the stage, kneeled down and talked to the guy who finally calmed down enough to be escorted out by one of his friends to the lobby...crazy....I have a pretty decent for the time bootleg of this show and you can hear a disturbance but it's not clear enough to know what's going on...2nd set was "Atom heart Mother" with the "Interstellar Overdrive" for the encore...we went home very happy....for "Meddle" my memories aren't quite there...I remember "One Of These Days" as played but set lists I've seen don't show it...The ones I've seen only list one set but that can't be right...I do remember that as we waited in line it hailed on us which was pretty funny....earlier in the year I had taken a pretty nasty fall and broke my left arm and I had to be off from work for three weeks before I could go back to light duty...I went home to LA and because of being ther with my arm in a cast I saw The Stones at The Long Beach Arena & Pigpen's last show at The Hollywood Bowl...also at that time was when my picture was taken with Muddy Waters in the lobby of The Ash Grove as we were both there to see Johnny Shines play...'72 was a good year, broken arm and all!

The last Dead show I listened to was the Fillmore Acid Test from 1/8/66. And watched, too-I got it on a dvd-r of it a few years ago called "Can You Pass The Acid Test?" It's a fascinating historical document-and features complete, or almost complete versions of The Dead playing "King Bee", "Caution" and "Death Don't Have No Mercy." Pretty good sound quality and picture - taking into account the fact that it was recorded and filmed by people tripping their brains out 56 years ago. Bit of conflict between The Dead - well, Pigpen - and the Pranksters. He is clearly losing patience with their shenanigans.

Have you tried emailing DL?
I don’t have his address but I know some folks on here do.
He might not be able to tell you if/when that would get released, but he could perhaps inform you as to the status of the tapes for that show. Like: “sorry dude, no tapes for that one” so at least you’d know that.
Just a thought, hate to see how much it’s driving you nuts ; )

Just returned from sunny SoCal and four days at the Festival in Ventura fairgrounds. What fun we had! The entire four days were streamed for free on Relix youtube. I hope some of you dug the stream of DSO Saturday night headliners (two sets) and Phil & F Sunday headliners. The stream is still up. DSO performed the entire Empire Pool 5/8/72 with an awesome second set DS>Sugur Mag> Caution! Caution is pretty rare these days, a really good one. I swear, when Phil came on, it transformed the entire crowd. They were all up and shakin' it.

Another highlight was Thursday's acoustic performance by RECKONING, featuring Rob Eaton, John Kadlecik, Rob Barraco & Skip Vangelas.

One lowlight was a long delayed (technical issues) performance by Oteil and Friends. Took them at least 45 minutes to come on, and then they played a really short set, with sound issues.

Many moments over the four days sent shivers down my back, as these were my first outdoor shows in 2 years!

Ha.. post of the week, "Surely a missed opportunity."

I believe my source is correct on the 9-19-72 show missing the first reel. The odds of it showing up in the OSF mystery pile are at least a rational hope, in that Owsley recorded the shows just before and after it. (Maybe entire fall '72 tour?)

Not really going nuts, just yelling into the void, hoping serendipity calls back...

Roosevelt Stadium in September 1972. What a good way to start Hendrixfreak. You definitely were at some great shows. I got my start at 15 as well. In 1986 at the Metrodome in Minneapolis. Dylan, the Dead and Petty. I can guarantee you nobody will ever be clamoring for this show to be released.

First I got inundated with WD, AB and S&R for a year, then my older brother included me on a ride to that fateful 9-19-72 show.

Get this: after about 3 hours of the GD blasting away, I felt like they'd done their job, delivered a great show and ... okay, time to wrap it up, this kid's getting tired (was not tripping, but had some hash). Thanks boys, great show, etc.

Well, the band went on for another hour! What I'd give to experience that very show NOW!

P.S. Always sorry I missed Petty in concert. Never turned down a ticket, just didn't seek him out. My loss.

Great cover there, those cables under the ship, electricity under wall water? Dangerous! Interesting though all to brief piece Space Guitars by Mark Kaufman on Mashable, mentions of Jimi and Jerry and esp Buddy Holly (check out those shoes) who first broke the Strat wide open. Nice to know there's a chunk of Jimi's pyromania from Monterey at the Met!

I'm not sure I would have liked the Dead live, had I seen them in 1972, when I was also 15. The bands I saw and liked then were a world away, much heavier, more dramatic.. much shorter shows, too ! I suppose the bands I liked mirrored the time, place and state of mind that I found myself in. But it was only a temporary phase - by 19 I had expanded my horizons, and the Dead sound tracked that. On record, obviously. But it never really struck me as teenage music, in quite the same way as Hawkwind, Black Sabbath or David Bowie - for example, did.

Obscura - Omnivium

I have a paper copy of GD Almanac, Winter 2004.
On page 10 is the back catalog of CD’s.

Dick’s Picks 1-32 were available:
1 CD $13
2 CD’s $18
3 CD’s $21
4 CD’s $25
6 CD’s $33

Assuming that those prices stayed the same for DP 33-36, the total cost for DP 1-36 new factory sealed would have been $778 for 112 CD’s.

Terrapin Limited was $39.50 for 3 CD’s.
Dozin’ At The Nick was $23 for 3 CD’s.
Closing of Winterland $27 for 4 CD’s, $29.95 for 2 DVD’s.
Downhill From Here $30 for 1 DVD.

on those random numbers, also consider that not all that long ago (but more than a few years), there were periodic sales on dead.net, often around July 4th and a couple other dates like Thanksgiving, significant discounts were available, free shipping, sometimes on almost every bit of music/video in catalog. Swag was rare. As well, one could find almost anything on the secondary market at very reasonable cost.

....Twilight was a treasure.
Happy Easter and Passover everyone!
I favor the '89 show from that box. Grate stuff.
Speaking of dead.net sales, I recall scoring Dicks 26-30 for under a hundred bucks.
I literally stole them.
The stamp cover series.
Now, dead.net puts out overpriced trash 80% of the time. Sorry, not sorry.
I do enjoy the glasses though.
A 1989 box would be just fine. That was my most prevalent year. Sign me up. Include Cal Expo please.
It's got a Playin' -> Rider. And a second set Cumberland.

Yes indeedy...Cumberland was out of Crazy Fingers and the Playin' > Know You Rider was a mind boggler...my friend Bob and I went...we drove from the Canyon to the Phoenix airport after he got off after his evening shift as a line cook at the El Tovar Hotel...we had a 6:30 AM flight to Oakland where a friend of mine was flying in from LA...we grabbed a rental (a brand spankin' new Cadillac) for the drive to Sacramento...we almost didn't make it though as a an accident on the interstate blocked traffic for quite awhile...we pulled into the airport and made it to the plane with a few minutes to spare...we finally relaxed and as the plane leveled out after take off, the flight attendants started rolling down the aisle with the beverage carts...of course everyone was getting OJ, coffee and tea but I asked for a shot of cognac...the young lady just gave a double take and I explained we had been stuck on the freeway, nearly missed the plane and we were on our way to three Grateful Dead shows for the weekend...she smiled, looked around and said "in that case you might need a double and poured me a nice glass worth....In Oakland I had to sit for a bit before going to the rental agency so I didn't appear too loopy...one issue with the weekend...we were in a Red Roof Inn full of dead heads and security banged on our door saying one of the neighboring guests had called to complain about the pot smell...Jeezus lady your entire building is fulla freaks! Now I have to go dig out the drive those shows are on!

No reason to hold off on the announcement considering that pictures of DaP 42 have been released on other websites, and that you can already place an order for DaP 42 on eBay.

Had to search for it, didn't see any ebay results, but didn't search with ebay in the googles question machine, but the website that did have a pic showed probably my favorite cover of the series. Wow. Few titles on display in the artwork at first glance, can't wait to get my eyes and ears on it in person, plus hope the Bonus cover is just as nice. Really looking forward to this release.

Which reminds me, Dave's 1 vinyl should be rolling in soon (thankfully that was paid for months ago), and I should be heading out this weekend to plunk down another 150 on 4/8/72 on vinyl, and they want another 600 with tax and shipping for four more Europe '72 shows. May have to pass on the Lyceum box, but we'll also see how long it sits there. God save me from visiting deadnet on a day when I'm surprisingly flush, though...

Not quite sure what I'm going to play this on yet.

Bonus Disc show coming soon.....this should kick some ass. Kinda wish I hadn't listened to the sound board as much as I did, but as I told the judge after a night of debauchery - your honor, I just couldn't help myself. Heh, talk about securing mandatory rehab.

I'm ahead of schedule on the E72 joy ride. I really like the Dead Beat Club version of The Other One. Top notch.

Sitting courtside under one of the baskets at Warriors/Nuggets game tonight

Alas, poor Alvar I know him well. I was attempting to say if I were to be comfortably willing to drop 600 bucks, then I kinda hope I wouldn't visit deadnet that day, or that it would be sold out. Not really hoping that, but 4 shows for 600 is a helluva lot more to answer to the wife about than 30 Trips at 700. Especially given this would be 4 shows in a row, and I'm getting 4/8/72 to pair with last year's 5/3/72, which I listened to straight through last year upon getting home. Fantastic sound on vinyl. I wish Uncle Sam were letting me get some more European vinyl, not great timing. Especially with my own first brief trip to Europe (Ireland) 2 weeks ago. We'll see which way the winds blow my own ship of fools. Really looking forward to Dave's 42. Not sure it will be the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything, but hopefully it's nearly that.

I've started lagging behind with vinyl a bit. I was going to get Dicks Picks 19 when it became available on Amazon UK, but now it is, I'm having second thoughts. It's cost is the equivalent of $316 ! Quite a lot for a show I already have, and which features music I am very familiar with.
I also prefer vinyl to other formats for listening to The Dead, as someone else ( I forget who-apologies) pointed out on here the other day. But I'm not sure I prefer it THAT much!

On the last episode of Billions, “Cold Storage”, they play Deal from Garcia version at the end of the show, used artistically nicely. That’s 2 episodes now with significant GD references. Obviously someone’s a DH : )

I wish we knew what was on the bonus disc?
Guess we’ll have to wait until official release day…

From my cassette/Internet Archive digitization project:
GOGD Red Rocks 9/8/83
GOGD Watsonville 9/25/83 - a great outdoor show with an awesome China Rider.
Digitizing for a friend:
Fela and his 35 piece afro-beat orchestra, Berkeley Community Theater 11/14/86

GOGD St Louis 10/29/73 - Powerful Eyes of the World into China Doll
The Byrds - The Notorious Bird Brothers - a psychedelic masterpiece

I'm reading Chris Hillman's autobiography " Time Between" which inspired me to provide a Byrds music background. It's pretty good, and it's interesting to read his description of working and living with Gram Parson as they teamed up as the Burrito Brothers.

Thanks and cheers!

Wembley 4/8/72 is the Dead one coming out. I know it's not in the spirit of the day, but I have always managed to get RSD releases online. Still from an independent record shop, but without having to leave the luxury of my own home.

But will head down to the local shop tomorrow after they open, they usually get a couple of copies. If there is one left for me grate, if not, not a problem, I already have it on CD.

Currently working my way through 4-24-72 Dark Star.

Super impressed with the sound you pulled out of the Seattle Center. Listening to it now.

Researching my older sister's first (and only maybe) show as a surprise for her. She was 17 and tripping from the story I remember. We called the place Elitch Gardens by the name of the amusement park it was when the music outdoor garden part wasn't used so much anymore. Wasn't very big as I recall. Deadbase list this as two shows but I'm finding reviews of it as one show with a break in the tape at Man's World. Thought it unusual to have an acoustic/elec. set that ends in Drums on the first night and the second night starts with Dark Star?!? I could see it if they got rained out or something. Looks primal to me from the setlist(s). Any lore on this I can tell her? Thanks and cheers
Edit: I was totally wrong on the location of the venue. Nothing to do with Elitch Gardens at all but a "Fillmore" on Clakson St. that started doing rock concerts in Spring 1970. This was maybe only the second show at that renamed refurbished venue. John Hammond opened and according to a newspaper article (Colo. Spgs. paper?) he was boring. But the reviewer had very high praise for this show. Also appears that there was only one night and it was 4/25/70.
