    "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*.

    *Limited to 2 per order. Very limited quantity available.

    Get one before they are gone, gone, gone.

    DP 24 Sound Quality
    I was surprised someone mentioned this show shouldn't have been released due to poor audio. It sounds the same to me as all of the Dick's Picks era '74 WOS shows (DP 7, DP 12, DP 31). Road Trips WOS 1974 sounds a little better, but DaP 2 is right back to the lower quality. I think DaP 13 and DaP 17 sound a bit better (but technically DaP 13 is not WOS, and wasn't subject to the recording pitfalls incumbent with the Wall recording rig). Anyway, I just put DP 24 on, and it's not bad. Trust me on one thing, I did NOT like 1974 for many years, because of the generally poor audio quality, but I forced myself to listen, and eventually I became used to it. The show from DP 24 (Cow Palace) has a great set list, and that classic Playing in the Band UJB Morning Dew sandwich. Plus if you turn up the 4K band on the EQ during Scarlet Begonias Jerry's guitar sounds like Keith Richard in open D tuning. Looking forward to DaP 25. I hope this bass thing isn't as prominent as on 24. I hate to say it, but it ruined the release for me. Sorry Mr. Norman, you have my deepest respect and appreciation for your body of work, I just hear too much artificial bass tones at Berkeley. I'm not crazy about the art work. Too much red, and even I'm tiring if the skeletons. Why not have dancing bears on this one instead? Last 5: Dick's Picks 16 Dave's Picks 22 May 1977 4th Show 5/15/77 July 1978 4th Show 7/7/78 Crimson White & Indigo 7/7/89 (this is hands down the best show from 89/90). Now I have on DP 24.

    Road trips is vast and awesome. I believe, officially it's like 15 volumes. For anyone not minding iTunes downloads, the whole set is available for around $250. I certainly purchase music from apple, amazon, and dead.net, however I try to spread it around. The annual Record Store Day is a great way to bring awareness to your local record shop. There aren't nearly as many as there used to be. The experience of walking into a store and browsing product can be enjoyable, and if you make a purchase you take possession immediately not having to wait on the mails. Currently playing: a magnificent "The Eleven," Dick's Picks #26, 4/26/69 Minneapolis.

    Road Trips
    jackstrawberry - not sure if you are aware, but the Road Trips series is being re-released on CD by Real Gone Music starting with the last releases first. So far Vol. 4 #5 Boston Music Hall 6/9/76 and Vol. 4 #4, Philadelphia, Spectrum 4/6/82 are available and Vol. 4 #3, Denver '73 will be available on February 2. I missed a few of the Road Trips and am looking forward to picking them up for a decent price. Given the weak packaging on the Road Trips series I am considering picking up another copy of some that I already have. They are available on ebay and Amazon for between $40-$50 each. I am particularly eager to pick up the 5/15/70 show on Vol. 3 #3.

    ....that there are recordings at all. The Dead are head and shoulders, king of the hill leaders of the audio documentation of their career, as it should be. That didn't happen by chance. The Women (and men) are indeed smarter....I talk to younger (sic) people and try and lure them in with that fact. A sad few pass it off as idolism. But most respond with a "that's cool as shit!" And the seed is sown. I'm responsible for getting at least eight people in my lifetime to jump onto the bus. Get some!!!....I hung out with some Hari Krishnas during the Cal-State Dominguez Hills shows in '90. They love their rice. I did too. Even shook a tambourine for an hour or so. No regrets....it's not easy making good rice

    80s dead shows tale
    http://goodtimes.sc/cover-stories/500-grateful-dead-shows/ Local comic DNA reflects on his years spent following the Dead BYDNAPOSTED ON JANUARY 2, 2018 On a Grateful Dead tour, you met the best people on Earth. People from all walks of life were drawn to shows like Richard Dreyfus was drawn to the Devil’s Tower in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. But there were also narcs, feds, drug addicts, clinically insane misfits and jerks. There was a series of “religious” groups, like the Golden Roaders, selling backless dresses and Sufi spinning at shows. Then there were the Moonies, although I only saw them at shows in the Northeast, who were aggressive and deceptive, selling lame stickers and incense. The Krishnas gave out free rice, but they also played their freaking tambourines and drums at sunrise to greet the day! Not a good group to camp next to. From Scientologists to evangelical Christians to mini-messiahs that paraded around in full regalia (mostly a robe, a loin cloth and a conch full of burning sage) there was no shortage of wackadoodles to join up with or be abducted by. I know that I and hundreds (or at least dozens) of other Deadheads took it upon ourselves to be the ones to “look out” for the weaker ones as the scene grew exponentially and then collapsed upon itself. I am grateful for my time in that world and recently I reflected on that journey. At least the parts I could remember.

    Re: ABCD
    Thanks, alvarhanso and Jim, I guess I totally overlooked the fact that there could be more than one SBD recording of a show. That's a bit of a mind bender. Not sure why that never occurred to me be before. I guess I always heard moans about how expensive the tape was so I just figured it was a one-shot deal. As a side note, anybody know of any "authoritative" list for who recorded what shows for the GOGD? I've looked in Deadbase but the thing is like a million pages and it may have gone unnoticed. Regarding the Bear recording(s), I agree that's a bit of a head scratcher. I guess they wouldn't necessarily have come from the Betty Boxes. Mountain Girl had some stuff that was returned too so perhaps it was tied up in there? I do agree that the stuff from Rex likely was likely part of Betty's stash. There's probably some more scholarships to do around ABCD Enterprises (I admittedly know very little about this). It might be a catch-all for all of the returned boards from various sources. There are four letters... And the posters are inspiring me to check out those Frost and Greek shows. Those are officially on the todo list...

    Years/Eras/Releases
    All of the talk about eras and such brought up some memories for me about the tapes I had back when that was the way everyone got to hear shows. In getting those tapes, I had collected a variety of shows from many eras, but most were from the 60s and 70s. I was told by other seasoned heads at the time that although they loved the Grateful Dead the best shows were from “back in the day”. I discovered early on that “back in the day” meant different things to different people. In any case my listening habits were shaped by the tapes I got. So I will say that I may have been one to listen to select eras as a result of this for quite some time. Fast forward to the present and I feel like I have expanded my horizons as I have done more listening homework. However even with that there is so much I don’t know. For example, I really never delved into 1982 shows. I recently acquired the Road Trips from 4/6/82, and that is a tremendous release. Earlier on in the comments many referenced several 1982 shows that I had never heard (Frost 10/10 was one and a Greek show 5/23, I believe was another). Well while at work, I jumped on the archive and found them, played them, loved them. Conversely, several have mentioned shows from 1972- 7/26 & 8/12. Now I felt like I had a way better handle on 1972, but I listened to those as well. Great stuff of course and again I discovered something new. My point from this is that I ma not really sure how exactly to define Grateful Dead eras, but when someone on these pages recommends a show or shows I check them out, regardless of era or year. Just important when it comes to releases, I only have 3 pieces of criteria: good show, good sound quality, and hopefully it is a complete show if possible. This also reminds me of the discussions that were had when the Rocking the Cradle was released. One of the arguments against its release was that although the venue of the Pyramids and Giza was about as cool as it could be, the playing was not up to par. I am not intending to stir a debate but simply that even for then, this was not a show that was widely desired for release while others were desired and also in the vault. So as we wait on the box set announcement and the eventual Dave’s 27 and 28, I just hope that they continue to be good shows in good sound quality. I do know that a good show is subjective not only to the listener but also to the time frame (or era). Still as long the releases meet the criteria I think we are all going to be better off as there is so much more great music by this band left to be released. I am enjoying the ride for sure.

Always hated him as a player. He is a whiner and a punk. I really do not know many hockey fans outside of Canada and Pittsburgh who like him. He's the modern day Mike Madano. I remember that 2010 goal. Bad angle. Lucky to get it past Ryan Miller. Now he's a hero. I follow the original six teams, except the Rangers and any team from Canadaland. Grew up a Sabres fan, but switched allegiance when Darcy Regier failed to sign Drury and Briere. Then he goes and gives Vanek and absurd contract. Dumbest move of all time. They went from a perennial playoff team to hardly ever making it. Always liked the Red Wings style of play. More European than most. Lots of weaving and passing. Plus they had Datsyuk. Other than Gretzky, he is probably the best hockey player I have ever seen. Yeah, it sucks that after making the playoffs all those years in a row, they are out. Nevertheless, there is nothing quite like playoff hockey. I watch just about every game.

Going on 30 years myself and in the same boat. Only my wife's a master at flipping the script. After sitting around for an hour while she futzes with her hair, I'll eventually say "Are you ready yet? We're going to be late". To which she invariably responds "I've BEEN ready. I was waiting for YOU."

I think that 12/14 may be from the returned Bettys but the 11/17/71 more than likely isn't. The current circulating copy of 11/17 is mislabeled as a Soundboard and has been for years. It's actually an FM broadcast with mic placed in front of the speakers onto a cassette. https://archive.org/details/gd71-11-17.fm.cotsman.10285.sbeok.shnf Go down and read the reviews a little ways. The Taping Compendium says the same thing. I'm that the board has been in the vault the whole time.

I was waiting for the new Dave's Pick page but it's been bugging me... Why choose 2 shows from the same era with virtually the same sequence in the 2nd set JAM? (11/17 & 12/14)... One might think that they might throw us the dark star (Dark Star>Deal!) from 12/15 for the sake of variety. Also I'm unaware which set from Ann Arbor is going to be included a la carte and which set for the bonus Disc. I was underwhelmed by Dave Picks 22 bonus disc. These Bonus Discs usually include a jam/something sought after or special but last year it was first set material and pretty ho-hum. I wonder what they're planning this year in regards to that split. Does anyone know? Can't wait

But I grew up in Pittsburgh. Saw some Pens games and a sweet Monster Truck show at Ye Olde Civic Arena, but never the Dead. I knew some Crosby hate would come out when I posted that. I get that all the time from my Red Wings friends. I'm usually too busy shopping online for championship merch to pay it much mind. Was any of yinz guys at the Civic Arena show in 89 when riots broke out? Must be some wild stories there. Probably different than the ones I heard from my Uncle, Sgt. Deadguy of the Pittsburgh police.

Arguably the best sports talk show out there. Michael Wilbon called out Crosby as a whiner on the show tonight. Too funny. Cries to the refs when he gets hit, but has no problem slashing off Methot's finger.

re: Denis' acknowledgement: yes sir, Jimmy Smith is THE MAN who conquered and popularized and just plain killed it on B3, brining it out of the juke joints and clubs and roller rinks (dug your story Denis, wish I could have seen that scene) and into serious jazz circles (all while maintaining the best and gresiest vibes of what those previous places had to offer). See Groovin' at Small's Paradise and his Blue Note stuff, especially anything with Stanley Turrentine and Kenny Burrell, Prayer Meetin', Back at the Chicken Shack, Midnight Special. A once-in-a-lifetime and highly influential talent. For other classic jazz B3ers, many of whom could really walk those pedals, see: Brother Jack Mc Duff, Larry Young (who took it in a whole other direction), Groove Holmes, Johnny Hammond (Smith), Charles Earland, Big John Patton, Melvin Rhyne, Freddie Roach, Don Patterson, and to some degree Jimmy McGriff, Shirley Scott (awesome in conjunction with her husband Stanley Turrentine mentioned above ,or with Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis), Rhoda Scott, underrated Frenchman Eddy Louiss, and a million others I'm not remembering at the moment. Many other contemporaries are keeping the instrument alive as well: Joey DeFrancesco (who unabashedly claims Jimmy Smith as his primary influence and can really get down live, or anywhere else); a guy from the midwest, Tony Monaco, who absolutely smokes live as well; a kick-ass NYC player orginally from Japan named Akiko Tsuruga, and still rockin' it, Chris Foreman, out of Chicago, who also happens to be blind; Jared Gold, Sam Yahel, Larry Goldings, and Gary Versace, who all come a bit more from the Larry Young side of things; and finally, Dr. Lonnie Smith, who is awesome live, legendary almost to the Jimmy Smith degree, not a doctor (except of groove) and for the last 20-30 years has worn a turban for no definable reason. ...wait, where are we? oh yeah, a Grateful Dead message board. So, I'm at the moment making another run through the Austin '71 RT and man is this sweet. Setlist, execution, jams and that undefinable liquidy smoothness that makes up a lot of what I enjoy about my favorite years of '72, '73. If the new DP shows are anything like this, and with divine messengers like Doc pushin' us to the light, I just might become a big '71 fan yet.

We're coming up on the 40th anniversary of The Closing of Winterland: Grateful Dead 12/31/78 + guests. I'm trying to make this night complete by adding a recording of New Riders of the Purple Sage's set.I have GD: The Closing of Winterland(GDCD78055) 4 CD set (12/2003) + The Blues Brothers set (RVCD2076 bootleg The Closing Of Winterland 31 December 1978) a KSAN-FM broadcast recording (1 CD) I have yet to find a good soundboard or FM recording of the New Riders of the Purple Sage set of this evenings event. The only other two NRPS shows I have are: 12/31/71, an FM recording, and 08/27/72 the official release of their opening set for the GD. (KUF 0088) Can someone help me out by pointing me in the right direction as I believe I've looked almost everywhere trying to track this recording down. An audience recording won't do, but I'd consider a matrix recording.

I haven't got the NRPS set from 12/31/78, or from any other show they played with The Dead come to that. I was thinking, though, that it would make a nice addition if one of their sets could be included with an official Dead release. Or any of the other bands who played the at same show as The Dead. The Allmans are the obvious choice, but also, from earlier on Quicksilver Messenger Service- an incendiary band.

You brought up 4-15-70. I had forgotten about that one. I think I gave it a cursory listen when I first bought it; but I don't remember much about it. Its gonna jump in my rotation along with my April 71 college tour. Mmmmmm . . . Hopslam. Have you tried Old Nation M43? Similar style, a BIG IPA that's hoppy AF but with a rich body to stand up to it. Unlike say, Dark Horse Crooked Tree, which I don't really like, all piney hops. Mrs. Deadguy insists that she waits around for me more than I wait for her. But that's only because while I'm waiting for her I pour myself a beer, and put on a record, and then of course I don't wanna leave until the beer, and the side, are both finished. I HATE stopping music in the middle of a track. That's like blowing the whistle on a breathtaking Yvgeni Malkin breakaway.

Goodness.. I really like that show. Why they quit playing It's a Man's, Man's, Man's World.. I will never know. I listened to a good bit of 4/12/70 Fillmore West on TIGDH last night on the way back from a local river.. another Man's World.. but not nearly as good as 4/15. There are still some 1970 gems in the cannon. Free the 1970 Reels!! I am a little disparaged seeing all the negative press about my dear Uncle Sidney. I have, after all, one of his kidneys.. he immediately offered the second he found out I was having trouble. Each year he donates bone marrow to needy children on my block. I guess my own experiences created a bias and I could not see the monster he truly is. ..but as I don't follow professional sports, you guys clearly see a side I never see.. I should probably just return it and replace with one of those black market, Eastern European ones I keep seeing on EBay.. as I trust you guys implicitly. Calling my trusty Urologist at UPMC now.. Edit: Here are all the known shows with Man's World. 04/09/70- Fillmore West - San Francisco, CA 04/10/70- Fillmore West - San Francisco, CA 04/11/70- Fillmore West - San Francisco, CA 04/12/70- Fillmore West - San Francisco, CA 04/15/70- Winterland Arena - San Francisco, CA 05/02/70- Harpur College - Binghamton, NY 06/05/70- Fillmore West - San Francisco, CA 06/07/70- Fillmore West - San Francisco, CA 07/12/70- Fillmore East - New York City, NY 08/18/70- Fillmore West - San Francisco, CA 09/18/70- Fillmore East - New York City, NY I was curious of the evolution as 4/15 sounded much tighter than 4/12.. I can see 9/18 getting the Full Norman at some point, that could be our next release from 1970. There are also tapes for many of these Fillmore West shows from that year. Finally.. I don't have a copy of the NRPS 12/31/1978 but did find this following interesting which at least touches on the performance. http://lostlivedead.blogspot.com/2011/12/grateful-dead-new-years-eve-op…

Another Hammond tonewheel grand master, check out Bruce Katz, he and his band are touring this spring in the east. Bruce played with Les Brers, Butch Trucks, the Greg Allman Band and a huge host of others. He attended and later taught at Berklee, is from Baltimore. In a chance meeting with Bruce at the Rockland Maine Blues Festival a couple years ago, discussing the GOGD, we discovered we were both at the March 26, 1973 Dead show at the Baltimore Civic Center, the Wolfman Jack show.

Check out the bio, Roy Buchanan: American Axe. And there's an archival release coming out, Roy Buchanan at Town Hall, featuring two sets from NYC, Nov 1974. Hot stuff. As for NRPS, they sell a number of excellent shows from 1972-73. But no 12/31/78 -- way too late for my tastes. They were seriously hot in '72-'73 when I saw them the most. Great band!

Did someone mention Box Set Announcement? Summer 1973 Complete? Where did you get that, Relix? oh... just a 40' tall Hockey Jersey for some team that skates on ice on one of the hottest places on earth... We've all seen that before.

Hey, my hopeful assumption guess is as good a GUESS as the constant chatter for 1973 box set...don't worry I'm sure the box set will be from the 1970s(not including 1979).

Did someone say Greeks?? What a way to start the weekend! Is anyone fond of the 88 Greeks? The reason I mention it is.. I always thought those recordings were very good for the era. Had the tapes on cassette almost immediately after the show and listened to the hell out of them. Have a great weekend all.. kiss your wife/husband, dance a jig, enjoy Spring, live large.

Looks like a photo-shop of a refrigerator magnet you can get on E-Bay. Suspicious...

If indeed it's a Berkeley Box. I would love 7/82 or 6/85, both peak runs in their respective years, and 7/84 has that (tepid) Dark Star. But 8/21 and 22/72 are iconic second sets in my tape-collecting history. What a great box 8/21, 22, 24/72 would be! as for Pigpen, he's spoken of as in the band but sick and at home. Missing reels amongst the returned Betty's perhaps? 72, 82, and 85 setlists below: 8/21/72 One The Promised Land [2:53]; He's Gone [8:06] ; Black Throated Wind [6:21]; Friend Of The Devil [3:31] ; Jack Straw [4:43] ; China Cat Sunflower [5:51] > I Know You Rider [4:49]; Me And My Uncle [3:03]; Sugaree [6:40] ; Beat It On Down The Line [3:03]; Stella Blue [7:06] ; Playing In The Band [12:54] ; Brown Eyed Women [4:37] ; Mexicali Blues [3:25]; Casey Jones [#4:53] Two Greatest Story Ever Told [5:08] ; Ramble On Rose [5:55] ; Dark Star [26:51] > El Paso [4:32] > Space [3:35] > Deal [4:34] ; Sugar Magnolia [7:23] ; Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo [7:25] ; Uncle John's Band [5:55] ; One More Saturday Night [4:34] 8/22/72 One Bertha [#5:11] ; Greatest Story Ever Told [4:51] ; Loser [6:40] ; Black Throated Wind [%6:27] ; Bird Song [9:57] ; Beat It On Down The Line [3:03] ; Tennessee Jed [06:37] ; Me And My Uncle [3:13] ; Friend Of The Devil [3:35] ; Playin' In The Band [15:%41] ; He's Gone [8:30] ; Promised Land [2:47] Two Brown Eyed Women [5:02] ; Mexicali Blues [3:34] ; Truckin' [9:56] > Drums [2:24] > The Other One [29:56] > Stella Blue [8#;50] ; El Paso [4:42] ;Ramble On Rose [6:16] ; Not Fade Away [6:01] > Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad [5:51] > Hey Bo Diddley [4:09] > Not Fade Away [0:57# 8/24/72 One The Promised Land [2:58] ; Sugaree [6:43] ; Jack Straw [5:51] ; China Cat Sunflower [7:09] > I Know You Rider [4:49] ; Me And My Uncle [3:02] ; Bird Song [9:12] ; Beat It On Down The Line [3:05] ; Tennessee Jed [7:31] ; Playing In The Band [15:04] ; Casey Jones [5:47] Two Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo [6:50] ; Mexicali Blues [3:21] ; Brown Eyed Women [4:43] ; Truckin' [9:01] ; Dark Star [27:14] > Morning Dew [13:00] ; Sugar Magnolia [7:52]; Ramble On Rose [6:19] ; Greatest Story Ever Told [5:17] ; Sing Me Back Home [9:55] ; One More Saturday Night [4:30] Encore Uncle John's Band [7:11] 5/21/82 One Bertha [6:35] > Greatest Story Ever Told [3:50] ; Friend Of The Devil [8:44] ; Me And My Uncle [2:55] > Big River [5:09] ; Bird Song [10:45] > C C Rider [7:27] ; Althea [7:47] ; Looks Like Rain [7:35] ; Might As Well [4:01] Two Playing In The Band > Uncle John's Band > Drums > Space > The Wheel > Playing In The Band > Black Peter > Sugar Magnolia Encore Don't Ease Me In 5/22/82 One Jack Straw [5:01] > Sugaree [11:02] ; Cassidy [5:39] ; Tennessee Jed [8:01] > New Minglewood Blues [7:22] ; Cumberland Blues [5:33] ; Lazy Lightnin' [3:27] > Supplication [6:25] ; Deal [6:34] Two China Cat Sunflower [6:51] > I Know You Rider [5:28] > Man Smart (Woman Smarter) [6:21] ; Never Trust A Woman [5:51] ; Lost Sailor [6:25] > Saint Of Circumstance [6:40] > He's Gone [10:#33] > Drums > Space [9:19] > Not Fade Away [10:05] > Wharf Rat [8:28] > Around And Around [3:48] > Good Lovin' [8:31] Encore U.S. Blues 5/23/82 One Shakedown Street [13:00] > The Promised Land [4:03] ; They Love Each Other [7:52] ; Mama Tried [#2:10] > Mexicali Blues [4:22] ; Loser [6:48] > Little Red Rooster [7:34] ; Ramble On Rose [6:54] ; Let It Grow [11:11] Two Scarlet Begonias > Fire On The Mountain ; Samson And Delilah [7:00] ; Ship Of Fools [7:35] ; Estimated Prophet [11:38] > Eyes Of The World [6:55] > Jam (1) [1:49] > Drums [9:59] > Space [6:23] > The Other One [12:31] > Stella Blue [7:33] > I Need A Miracle [4:31] > Casey Jones [5:19] Encore (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction [6:20] > Brokedown Palace [5:22] 6/14/85 One Dancing In The Street ; West L.A.

Morning, rockers!!! Sabbatical yes, but I couldn't resist. 4/14/71 has been one of my "crusades" (along with 11/17 and 12/5) for years........... https://archive.org/details/gd1971-04-14.132543.sbd.mathews.reel.wise.f… A powerful and deep show, wonderfully designed and perfectly executed by the Dead, crackling with energy, a supernova of a show that blows away almost everything else played that month. How did they do it? Did they all drop acid? I’ll even ignore the fact that there are only two Pigpen tunes. The band is on fire, every tune here works, cosmic reflections of all that was good and pure about the Dead’s music that month. Rocking all over the place, with wonderful slices of soul and psychedelia, on this night everything the Dead touches turns to gold and pure bliss. Somehow, some way, on April 41 1971, in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, the Dead played a show for the ages……… You know where to find me............... Rock on my fellow rockers! Are you ready for 11/17????? Doc P.S. IMHO, 11/17 was probably not in the vault until recently, if it had been it almost certainly would have leaked out, especially given the poor quality of the one circulating, non-line recording that we've had to deal with for 30+ years..........
