    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...

    At first i only bought a handful. Then every month i grabbed one or 2 a la cart sets off the sellers who were/still are parting the 30Trips box set out. Currently own 1966 to 85. Sticker shock kept me from pulling the trigger on the Box Set proper, but with 20/20 hindsight, i prolly shoulda just bought the tree. Oh, well. Ya live, ya learn.

    Sorry Neal
    I have spent my entire career being the geek with the spreadsheet (and databases). It's all I do, day after day.. I, in no way, meant any offense.. If you knew me, this was a big compliment. The Geek with a Spreadsheet quote is something I stole from Warren Buffet during the 2009 crash, and I am quite fond of the quote. My father was a statistician, with a cutting, dry, fantastic sense of humor. My brother spent his entire career working for NASA putting spacecraft into orbit. Geek with a spreadsheet was in no way meant as a slam.. the world needs geeks with spreadsheets and it's what I do for a living. Again, apologies, did not mean to offend. Bad choice of words I guess, but I sincerely meant no offense.

    Not sure what triggered your response, but you are way off base. If it was a joke, my apologies for missing it. If not, and you have spent any time at all on these boards, then you would know that Jim is one of the most levelheaded, gracious posters we have here. There is a long list of folks who deserved to be admonished like that. Myself included. Jim is not among them.

    "I imagine there is some geek with a spreadsheet in Burbank that helps put together short and long term projections." Mr. JiminMD A person's ability to do a little math does not make them less human than you. My response to people like you is so visceral that I struggle to put it into statements that do not begin and end with a specific four letter word, but obviously as a Geek I am not human enough to converse with such as you.

    30 Trips - 7,500
    The amount didn't change, there would always be 7,500 numbered box sets. If I had a beef (and I don't), it's the price per set. Not the price of an 80 CD box set, the price per disc was reasonable, but the price tag is what kept people from pulling the trigger and probably caused a divorce or three. It was the price that scared people away. I don't know how quickly this sold out, I forget.. But it as not immediate. I recall it taking quite a long time and it was well advertised beforehand. I also recall thinking.. man, this a car payment and a half.. it hurt. A gentler offering would have been a couple smaller, lower priced box sets offered throughout the year. Anyway, bygones.. they did what they did and it was pretty cool. I bought one and did not tell my gf at the time (to which I feel a touch shitty about to this day, but she would have freaked out a bit).. One thing is clear, seven years ago Rhino made a strategic commitment to get out of sitting on inventory game. They pretty much tell us what they are going to do, the dates are the same each year, and they do it knowing things will sell out quickly. It sure feels shitty to get shut out.. I can relate to that.. and wouldn't wish that anyone misses out on the music, but for the most part, people do not procrastinate - they either want it and can afford it or they don't/can't. Hopefully, there will be no more $800 box sets coming our way anytime soon, but at $25 per Dave's Picks with a two month window to pull the trigger.. I typically order the first day.

    Nobody was denied that box. It was available for quite some time. The price was clearly too much for a lot of people, so breaking the box up at least allowed some to only purchase the shows they wanted. Not surprised at all by the outcome. But, I am looking forward to reading the responses by those intent on refuting reality. Was a bit surprised by the post. Not sure I would have posted that on this site. Especially just to prove a point on demand for certain eras.

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. I remember your psychedelic lawn tractor from a while ago. If I recall correctly. (IIRC)

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.
