Grateful Dead - Dave's Picks 2014 Subscription

Pigpen isn't on the upcoming DAVE'S PICKS release, is he? Wasn't his final show at the end of September 1972? I wonder how he sounded at that point ... my favorite Pigpen stuff is on the EUROPE '72 tour.

 

Pigpen's last show - 6/17/72 Hollywood Bowl.

 

Barton Hall isn't in the vaults...unless something changed...

That was a great read. Thanks for sharing!

 

How was his performance at that show?

 

That is the funniest stuff I have read in years.

 

Amen brother! formulaic set lists, very little "deep space" exploration.... you can have one run of shows and have just about everything they played for the entire year. Gorgeous sounding Betty's with lots reverb and Jer's Travis Bean tone keep people salivating for sure but its just not deep enough for me most days. Good "Starter" year that I always direct people to but you graduate quickly....

 

Pigpen only played organ & did not sing at the 6/17/72 Hollywood Bowl show, which was also the first time they rolled out Stella Blue, FWIW...

Pig's last show was essentially the last show of the Europe tour--Strand Lyceum 5/26/72...

I do not have it and would love a professionally mastered copy.

 

also included with this release "the best of the bunch from Oklahoma City 11/15/72" namely 3. Playing In The Band [30:57 !!
4. Wharf Rat [10:38]
5. Not Fade Away> [7:47]
6. Goin’ Down The Road Feeling Bad> [7:12]
7. Not Fade Away

 

Nice added bonus. It took me about 30 seconds to get my order placed once I finally got the email today.

 

Thanks.

 

Just placed my order for DP 11. And I gotta say, the cover art on this is just beyond fantastic.

 

One less in stock.

 

Ordered this bad boy right away. Leaving nothing to chance...

Bonus half hour PITB??? Boo yah!!!! I won't gripe too hard about it not being 11/18...

 

In case you needed some arm twisting!!!!! I think someone was lamenting the lack of PITB. Someone was listening!!

 

Just ordered along with 3-29-90.

 

posted on another thread but anyone else hear about this?

Would love to have this set on vinyl, but "$150" and "Friday Music" don't go together for me.

 

Yeah, I was hoping for the 11/18/72 Hofheinz Playin' to be included, but I'll take 11/15/72 instead. I wonder if this suggests the possibility of the Hofheinz shows being released as full shows in the future or merely confirms that they aren't in vault?

 

I caved and ponied up............not easy, as I had to pay sales tax due to the state I'm in. Price ultimately seemed steep. But, I watched the Lemieux seaside chat and then saw the 11/15 filler.......that was what did it in ultimately. I have never heard set one, so, there's that

 

And whose fault is that?

Take your choice from many great sounding versions

If you are a fan of the Grateful Dead's music, can you have too much of 1972? I'm not sure you can.

 

I am even more excited about this release now with the filler added. And completely agree that the artwork could not be better. Any chance of bucking the trend of switching artists every year? The artwork on the 3 releases this year seem to be getting better and better, which is to say nothing of the music.

 

interesting. I really hope its not cd sourced like one from the vault.
