    "We left with our minds sufficiently blown and still peaking..."

    We're headed back to that peak with the newly returned tapes from Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena, Binghamton, 11/6/77. The Grateful Dead's last touring show of 1977 finds them going for broke, taking chances on fan favorites like "Jack Straw," "Friend Of The Devil," and "The Music Never Stopped," carving out righteous grooves on a one-of-kind "Scarlet>Fire" and a tremendous "Truckin'." An ultra high energy show, with a first set that rivals the second? Not unheard of, but definitely rare. Hear for yourself...

    DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 25 features liner notes by Rob Bleetstein, photos by Bob Minkin, and original art by our 2018 Dave's Picks Artist-In-Residence Tim McDonagh. As always, it has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman and it is limited to 18,000 individually numbered copies*.

    Wow seth hollander,I read this comment you wrote and thought wow, not even the Winterland 1973 box set? Or how about DaP 13 from 2/24/74? RFK 6/10/73? "The post-Pig/pre-hiatus period is, to me (and only me), a time of long stretches of ho-hum spiked by EPIC jam-bombs." I'd much rather have complete shows, but like Jim said - I get why they did it. To go back and read Dick's articles when the series first came out, you really get the feeling that they were much more selective about what got released. In fact, I think I read that Phil was very heavily involved for the first several releases, and by involved I mean he basically yes'd this and no'd that.

    Preferable, but not a must. DP2, DP12 and LAGTGD are my three favorite releases. Not a complete show among them. DP1 and DP3 are in the top ten as well.

    You always have the skip track button. I skipped the incomplete Road Trips at first, and apparently missed out on some bonus discs. I got the partial shows later but didn’t get the compilations. Don’t know why I skipped Rockin the Rhein preorder, that 3/72 bonus disc now seems quite useful since I have portions of other Academy of Music shows.

    True.. but if you manage to pre-order (in between server crashes) you get free shipping, a collectible bonus disc, a bumper sticker, an unused ticket stub, a Do It Yourself Center of the Forehead Steelie Tattoo Kit and a free cup of hot chocolate. Plus three people get miracled (whatever that means). :D Yes to whole shows. As for the 74 chop jobs, I sort of get what they were trying to do, but it backfired a bit. One needs to look no further than 6/18/74 as proof. I could take or leave Seastones, if there's room and the recording is passible (there are some technical issues with these) go for it.. If it pushes us to a new CD and we have to cough up another $9 for it (assumes a $9 price per disc) than I say pass. I am not bitter about what's in the rear view mirror, however. They were just figuring out what works and what doesn't.

    @Daverock re: complete shows
    Daverock, yes exactly I agree with you. During the time the Road Trips were being released I passed on many of them because they were not complete shows. I even engaged in some heated debates (mainly on my end) on the boards over why complete shows the only way to listed to The Grateful Dead. Of course I was wrong. Along with developing more knowledge of shows over the years, I have also softened my stance considerably on complete shows versus fragmented ones. I have since gone back and bought many of the Road Trips which many were just that, fragments. I have talked about this before but many times with the Road Trips and the bonus discs, as well as some other combinations there are either whole sets or mostly complete shows out there that have been released. I am all cool with all of it. Even more so, if there happens to be good shows that are not complete but they get released anyway I am going to get them. I can see there being some 69, 70 and 71 shows that may fit that description. Yet when possible, I feel like complete shows should be released. I prefer to listen to the whole show if I can because for me it paints a better picture of the experience, at least as well as it can for only being a recording. The bottom line for me is that we only have a finite, albeit large number of recordings of this band so I will take anything I can get.

    The Dave's Picks ride
    Thursday'sChild, you can see how the Dave's series has been a bittersweet experience for me, eh? Been a subscriber since the beginning, and probably will be until the end, but sometimes it feels like I'm punching myself in the face... I really don't like throwing down the money without knowing how I feel about the 2nd 2 releases in each subyear, but it is the same as whole-show vs chop-job: better to have something I feel "meh" about than miss something I love!The post-Pig/pre-hiatus period is, to me (and only me), a time of long stretches of ho-hum spiked by EPIC jam-bombs. And the last time I had the urge to hear a Fall-72 Other One exploration I spent 10 minutes trying to choose which of the 3 9/72 Dick's Picks to choose. Eventually I gave up and listened to something else entirely!

March 28, 1969http://gratefuldeadoftheday.com/03-28-1969 Modesto Junior College Student Center Modesto, California This is another show from Spring of 1969 where the Dead deliver every single night. And this show from Modesto Junior College is as good as any of them. The tape cuts into a raging Schoolgirl, which Pig struts through in full-on bad-ass form. After Pig gives a quick “thank you” at the end, the band completely switches gears, rolling out a fantastic Dark Star. It is marvelous from the start, but the last half - as Jerry drives forward with crystalline runs - is sure to raise goosebumps. Problem-laden, but still so good, versions of Stephen and The Eleven follow before a haunting, perfectly rendered Death Don’t Have No Mercy comes forth. Then, Pig asserts control once again, driving a balling Lovelight, which Jerry and the drummers make sublime. The second set is a bit short, made up entirely of an Other One suite that is fairly standard fare - meaning downright incredible - for 1969.

I used to hear this song many years ago as a young boy and I didn't know the tile until decades later when David Lemieux and crew selected the 3/28/72 Academy of Music in New York show to be Dick's Picks 30 in 2003. This show includes a segment of Sidewalks as tune-up for the encore of One More Saturday Night. Here is the original 1928 recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mhi4_CjgdA Only 90 years ago. I thank Dave Lemieux & crew AND Deadhead and 1971 advocate, forensicdoceleven for turning me on again to this little ditty. Doc sent me 3/28/72 about a year ago as it was in circulation before it was released as Dick's 30.

Thanks BCE'd, for adding some context to that historical ditty. The amazing thing is.. with what little they played of that song and without vocals, it's amazing anyone figured out what song it was. I had never heard of it. One of the things that I really like about the Grateful Dead is the respect they pay to traditional and roots music. Influences include Harry Smith's Anthology of American Music, Cannon Jug Stompers, Obray Ramsey, John and Allan Lomax, Bonnie Dobson, Dixie Cups, Rev. Gary Davis, Woodie Guthrie and the like.. just to name a few. The songs themselves are every bit as important as the skill in which they are played. Obscure and interesting. Thanks for giving us something to talk about.. a big step up from farm animals.

A huge thanks to Thin for provoking me enough to get my ass out last night and experience some great local music with the B3 Kings. Not to mention another in-person meetup with a local Head. Who knew we were everywhere? I mean, besides Us? It was a great time, and the music was super slinky and solid. Well worth the time and company. Just makes me wonder on a geographical Plot, where we'd all be and how surprised the results would look once we realize we're all right in our own backyards. The Spirit lives on. Sixtus

Farm animals?Mr. Ed probably could have been a Dead Head if younger, more hip writers and directors took control of that show, AND of course the series lasted much longer, or a later, late 70's early 80's, revival or the series took place.

It was great to finally meet someone on the other end of this board. As Sixtus said, we connected last night to see the B3 Kings in Cambridge at the Plough and Stars - great show and great company. Not the last time, I hope. The spirit of Saunders/Garcia is alive and well with the B3 Kings! They don't do any of their material, but the same vibe. Like walking into the Keystone in Berkeley in '75 and sitting right in front - crazy.

I saw several nods to DP 30 in the comments. I just bought this on eBay. I passed on the original release and I missed the Real Gone reissue. When it first came out I passed on it because I thought it was more about the novelty of the Bo Diiddley guest appearance and some of the other seldom played tunes from the first disc. Of course I was wrong. So as this is the case, when my copy arrives in the mail, it will be the first time that I will get to hear this release. I am pretty excited about it. Since I do have DaP 14, and I have the elusive Rockin the Rhein bonus disc, I have a way better context and appreciation for this run of shows. Well, I think I am understating that as I have more of a minor an obsession. I have been able to locate the DaP 14 bonus disc for a reasonable price (should have subscribed) so I may snag that to get more from this run. I know 1972 is well represented in the release category but I hope that they get around to releasing another complete show from this run some time in the future.

I go back and forth on this run.. Perhaps it's fair to say it's a prefix to E72. It has it's moments.. 3/23 is first class, the Caution>Jam>UJB from 3/22 is very nice, there's some Pedal Steel, a nice Smokestack, a couple really nice Other Ones.. I really enjoy listening to these shows but both sets don't congeal into the monumental full show experiences like they did across the pond. A lot of the songs really developed on that tour too (thinking Playing In the Band, China>Riders and the song structure and inventiveness in the second sets). Still two big thumbs up, but perhaps overshadowed by the earthquakes (and stellar recordings) that followed. I hope that's fair to say.. still, I am curious how they will sound with a fresh listen. It's been a while. What a momentous year. Edit: Yea.. spring is in the air.. I always liked that lawn mower.

My problem with these releases is the sound quality. To my ear they have a hard dry edge to them. It's not extreme, just enough to keep them on the shelf more than other 72 releases. And let's face it, 1972 is a very competitive year when it comes to official releases.

Yeah, for me it is the sound quality that is the problem. If the recordings had the same sound as E72, they should have been included in the E72 box, I think. The jamming is really of the same caliber to my ears. The E72 tour really started in the USA!

That was really a touching vid, you would have thought the old guy was hearing Fire. In the beginning moments you would have thought the sound of fire had cured him the way he threw his walking sticks away. Unfortunately, he took the brown acid at Woodstock, this was him today. Sad but true. But he still had his groove!

Before they start playing Sidewalks, Jerry is picking, "Give My Regards to Broadway". Also by the end of Sidewalks, I think they slipped in a little "Daisy". (daisy, daisy, give me your answer true), I thought I heard a little of the "..but you'll look sweet, up on the seat"

Agree with all of the AOM comments. Feels like a warm up set of shows. Doesn't congeal. Audio not quite as good as other '72. Yet I have a friend who absolutely swears by it. AOM this, AOM that. They should have released the whole run as a box, etc. I don't get the appeal, considering everything else available from 1972, but I'm intrigued by my friend's preference toward this run, so I keep trying it. For me, I like the RTR bonus CD and parts of DP 30 and DaP 14, but for the most part, it stays on the shelf. The lone Dark Star is one of my favorites. Strange they only did onevin seven days, considering they played it every other night in Europe. Are You Lonely and the Bo Didley songs are nice. Pair of nice Wharf Rats on DaP 14. Always enjoy Brokedown Palace. One of only two Smokestack Lightning's with Keith. And there's Jerry's magic twanger.
