    One more Saturday night at Winterland! Yes, we're back to home base for DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 42, the complete show from Winterland, San Francisco, 2/23/74. The one that featured the earliest amalgamation of what would soon become the Wall of Sound, the one that is so "loud, clear, and defined," it's been ripe for release for quite some time and we're glad it's finally getting its due.

    First set or second, there are no wrong answers here. From the unique show opener of Chuck Berry's "Around And Around" and an incredible "Here Comes Sunshine" that would then disappear for 18 years, to a medley of WAKE OF THE FLOOD tracks - "Row Jimmy," "Weather Report Suite," and "Stella Blue" - cementing their status in the canon and an unstoppable hour through the classic 1973-1974 Dead that is “He’s Gone”>“Truckin’”>“Drums”>“The Other One”>“Eyes Of The World,” it's all exceptionally hot.

    Limited to 25,000 numbered copies, DAVE’S PICKS VOLUME 42: WINTERLAND, SAN FRANCISCO, 2/23/74 was recorded by Kidd Candelario and has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering. Grab a copy while you can.

    Penguin guide to Jazz on cd

    I've invested in a copy of the Penguin Guide to Jazz on cd 7th edition. Over 1700 pages of CD reviews and Somethin' Else is one of their ' Core Collection' recommendations. I've been playing it today actually. I much prefer it to Kind of Blue. I find Kind of Blue kind of boring, too polished.

    Wasn't that an award given to Stanley Mouse, the famous artist who lived across the street from the G.D. in the H.A. with Alton Kelly, who along with Rick Griffin and others, formed Family Dog et al??

    suggested jazz:
    Sonny's Crib - Sonny Clark
    The Oracle - Hank Jones
    We Three - Roy Haynes
    Somethin' Else - Cannonball Adderley

    anything from Charlie Haden's series The Montreal Tapes

    and synesthesia, well... would have expected someone to nail that term quickly on this board. Looking forward to Ed Yong's "An Immense World" on animal perceptual systems incredible range.

    For me, posts on Stanley Clarke or Stanley Turrentine are more interesting than the Stanley Cup.

    Lots of great recommendations.

    I 'll add one more pianist - Abdullah Ibrahim
    He was known as Dollar Brand when oppression made him an exile from South Africa in the early 1960s.
    He can be joyous, spare or spiritual, sometimes simultaneously.
    I love his solo stuff, and his septet, Ekaya ("Home")

    Last week my NPR station played his latest. Solotude.
    a revisit to some of his best tunes, played with the experience of other veteran musicians we admire.

    Also - it's Lee Morgan's Birthday !
    Three weeks ago my wife started my day by saying "it's Eric Dolphy's Birthday"
    Three days days later i climbed down from that invisible aviary a better person.

    U-tube Jazz Sabbath, a riff on the actual Black Sabbath songbook, and actually, a pretty decent jazz piano trio, led by Adam Wakeman (yea, related to That Wakeman). Hilarious, but actually a pretty earnest recording of Iron Man, etc., done in post bop swing fashion.

    Compared to What, first wah wah

    While we wait for the announce, Swiss Movement album was huge back in the day, clearly recall we wore out that vinyl when it was released late 1969. The song (or maybe the record) was Grammy nominated. Dig "Cold Duck Time" there too. The great Leroy Vinnegar played bass and was given credit for developing the so called "walking" bass lines. Concert video available on utube. Resisting leaving new enticements for rabbit holes, all too soon to be distracted by 43, however Oro's list has me thinking specific albums/recordings to mention, rather than artists, will post after 43 fever fades. Back when the science fiction discussion was going on, meant to note author HP Lovecraft, horror crossover. Some science fiction is in music and here I tread carefully, HF. Though "Are You Experienced" was a total revelation about what could be done on electric guitar (and in studio), notably Third Stone From the Sun, Axis was released just before I first saw Jimi play, remains #1 with me, lots of science fiction. The song "Up From the Skies" is such a nice jazzy tune, a landmark because Jimi broke out the wah-wah pedal which had just been invented to bring effects of trumpet muting to electric guitar. Sure Clapton played with it on Tales of Brave Ulysses same time, 1967/68 but Jimi mastered it so well so fast. Something else, in those prescient lyrics, Jimi notes climate change or "change in climate". Check out Pat Metheny's version of Third Stone, on tribute album Stone Free, with a nod to Jaco (also utubable).

When mine got sent back we checked with the PO and they said it only had the physical address info, not the PO Box.
So for whatever reason the label wasn’t printed the same/correctly? It seemed like knowing that helped Rhino?
Like you, I’ve not had other issues. Fingers crossed it hasn’t happened since. Good Luck amigo!

Oh, is that avatar a Chork? Are you into Leftover Salmon? Played in a band called Wave Mountain Riders BITD. We had an original song called Chork: about being on Salmon tour and what happens when ya mate a pig and a chicken! Fun stuff lol, your avatar brought back fond memories!

....waiting for the mail carrier.
Playing disc 2 of Boxillas Cape Cod '79 offering.
You know whats on it.
My anticipation is high.
Edit. Leftover Salmon gets my nod. Great band.
Govt Mule and Los Lobos coming here soon.

I’m glad to hear your experiences have been positive, too.

My avatar is a “Buster” in reference to the song by my favorite working band, moe.

What the hell. That was a terrible first round draw for our beloved Leafs.

I know I said the Lighting won’t win three times in a row, but they’ve got a way better goalie. We may be looking at another first round exit. If they don’t win game one tonight that really puts the pressure on them. Good luck.

I’m just waiting on the puck drop now. A big “Gulp” going against Tampa Bay, but I think this is Auston Matthews’ year.
Regardless, the playoffs are the best, and always plenty rough! Love it!
Deep breath….

(PS - I’m glad 42 is landing yonder and hither. Here is hoping those ole shipping blues are of another time.)

Really stupid penalty, but it seems to have energized the Leafs. They had more SOG than Tampa during the PK.

Normally I would say the game is over, but this is the Leafs.

Is anyone else having issues with the audio feed? On my broadcast, the audio is almost a full second ahead of the video. Really annoying.

This Auston Matthews is something else. A kid that grew up in Arizona may be the best Toronto Maple Leaf I’ve ever seen in 60+ years watching.

Note to self: Must order new Garcia release. Expectations are muted, as there has been so many Keystone releases to date in both series, all his bands, so I’m expecting more of the same loose arrangements, and fun playing, with no surprises.

....aww. Phil laying it down.
Like a warm blanket.
Lemme get up in there. Thanks.
Edit.
That Big River raised both eyebrows.
That's what I'm talking about.
Slam dunk. It really doesn't get much better.
Had to shift down to Ramble-On.
Some gears were ground, but the foot found the clutch eventually.
Sounds awesome.
This is what we pay for.

....I've caught at least 2 slipknot references....there are several runs Jerry makes in The Other One where he is clearly playing the primordial riff.

There is another brief moment another reference gets made toward the beginning of the Playin jam on the bonus disc.

Ears are astute, and will remain perk'd.

Now back to your regularly scheduled GD sammich of choice.

For those who still depend on the Pony Express to get our Dave's Picks...

How is the sound, and how does it compare to Dave's Picks 13 (one of my fav's)

Wow. Evidently, the USPS has the ability to travel time!

Checked my DaP shipping progress this morning at about 7:30am. The website showed that at 5:30am, the shipment was in my city’s post office. (Yay!)

BUT it also showed that at 7:41am (ten minutes in the future!) it would materialize in San Leandro, CA, about 80 miles away. AND at 11:41am (more than four hours into the future) it would leave there. WTF?

So, I think we can conclude that either a) the postal service is capable of manipulating time and space or b) those tracking details are complete bullshit.

Ah well. Either way I'll probably get the DaP this week.

I finally found a show I am willing to attend

George Clinton and P-Funk

DAP 13 has been one of my faves as well along with the 73 UCLA show as far as audio goes. This release is just a pleasing to my ear as #13. To me the pedal effects (especially Phil's) are extra meaty and dynamic to my ears a nice example are the Moog effects (sounds like they are Moog anyway) in HCS jams. Dare I say I like the audio dynamics more so than on 13?! Very nice release. Pleasure to listen to for sure.

04/25 Order information received by UPS
04/26 Shipping mail received
05/03 Package received for processing in Fontana

It looks like it might be delivered this year.

...but how much will it cost? I'd forgotten about those three letters, USP, for a while, but coming on here, and seeing them typed out it all came rushing back. I went to check my bank statements, to see if they ever paid me back for the money they overcharged me for delivering the box in October. And they did - £32.59 paid back to me in March. I had to be firm with them, as I recall. Firm and persistent.. but fair, I like to think.

Luckily Dave's Picks are sent by Mail Innovations. This means that UPS pass the parcel to USPS. It is USPS who ship it across the pond and give it to the national customs authority. The local customs then ask for payment of VAT and administrative costs and subsequently pass the goods on to the national postal service who deliver it to your door.
When it comes to box sets then the whole process is carried out by UPS with all their ineptitude and mistakes which, as we have experienced, can result in huge costs that have no basis in fact or law. It is a long and frustrating task to sort out their mess and get ones money back.
I can understand that our pals in the US of A prefer UPS to USPS but they don't have to deal with customs etc.

The Me and Bobby Mcgee highlights how they were just learning how to use the microphones for the wall of sound. If they backed up a bit and instead of singing into the top mic they were singing into to both with the lower mic being out of phase, then the vocal signal canceled out. Fascinating to hear the learning in progress.

DaP 42 showed up in the mail today. I immediately ripped it and loaded it into iTunes. I took Dave's advise and built a playlist with the Bonus Disc, DaP 13 and DaP 42 (in that order). Listening to (and enjoying it) right now!

Simonrob-yes, I don't remember paying excess charges for the last Daves Picks I ordered. Just the box.
With the box they told me that it had been classified as containing items of clothing-which for some reason are taxed more heavily than cds. That was just what one person said though-it seems a very random process.

I don't know JJC. It sounds like they all fade out and fade back in at the same time as if there's something else going on.

JiminMD tough ti say. I am a few songs in and overall things sound good, but some bits sound distorted or overdriven. This could just be the sound people getting the beginning of the show straightened out. But I would say so far it goes to Dave's Picks 13. Just starting Sugaree.

Jerry sounds good. That's all I care about :-)

Count me among the minority, but I love my USPS. UPS can suck my kiss. In the end USPS bring my shit, ups takes forever to hand off to them, but once they have,,,, I usually get same day.

Glad you have good luck with these clowns.
Mine has followed its usual route: passing within a mile and a half of my house, and a quarter mile of the PO, twice! Once going to Denver, then all the way back across the state to GJ. So now it’ll be another day to come halfway back across the state again. Yeeesshhk, hey, as long as it gets here : )
