"The Grateful Dead picked up their instruments and hit the first note with perfection. They never missed a note for the next three and one-half hours. People followed the flow of the tunes. Down on the floor in front of the stage was a sea of heads keeping time with the music. No one sat still. No one, except the youngsters behind us sat still. They were still and stunned." - The Power County Press

And what a stunner it was, that show at the Boise State University Pavilion in Boise, ID on September 2, 1983. Dave's Picks Volume 27 contains every stitch of music from this mid-80s show (our first in this series), one that's as good as any other in Grateful Dead history. When the Dead were on, they were ON! Straight out the gate with a definitive take on the old standard "Wang Dang Doodle," the band swiftly switches back to a setlist of yore, firing off 70s staples like "Jack Straw" and "Brown-Eyed Women" and wrapping things up with a terrific trio of "Big Railroad Blues"/"Looks Like Rain"/"Deal" (don't you let that epic guitar solo go down without you). Primed for the second set, they tackle the complexities of "Help>Slipknot!>Franklin's" with heart and ease. It's clear there will be no stopping their flow - Bobby and Brent hanging in for a fantastic pre-Drums "Jam" and Jerry and Bobby in the zone on a not-to-be-missed melodic "Space." Not a skipper in the whole lot!

Dave's Picks Volume 27 has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman and it is limited to 18,000 individually-numbered copies*.

Releases by year

Here's a website I've been using to try to make a spreadsheet of all the full show releases, been at it off and on for a few hours, amd up to 1979, with 154 shows put out between 1966 and 1978, it's quite a lot. The site is missing some of the most recent releases, and I'm leaving out most of the random few song releases. I'll figure a way to post it when it's done, but the numbers below are off quite a bit. Europe '72 by itself is 22 shows, by my count it's 33.5 1972 releases counting 11/18/72, and I count 25 1977 releases (counting 11/2, which has almost all been released, but not counting the October '77 Road Trips, which is a smattering of songs across several shows), and 20 1990 releases (counting 3/24 which has almost all been released over various compilations). http://www.deaddisc.com/GDFD_Dead_By_Date.htm Eta: just saw icecreamkd's post came through as I was typing.

Official Releases

Not included are compilation Road Trips and the bonus discs that went with them. A few other bonus discs may be missing.Rockin' the Rhein, Hundred Year Hall, and Steppin' Out are not included. Most years/eras are well represented except those where high quality recordings are lacking: 65-68, mid-80's. The 90's are not that well represented. There are gems to be found there, and they probably sound pretty good. But, as I posted below, those will probably be held until later as a tool to keep revenue coming in.

Re: This Just In...

I too received that email from dead.net. A thorough decoding of the text tells us this will surely be Boreal Ridge Ski Resort, Donner Summit CA 1985. :D

Volume 28

12/1/79

Donner Summit

Wasn't she a disco queen in the '70s & '80s?

Donner Summit

Who could ever forget that show? The Bad Girls -> I Know You Rider was so tight! But obviously the Estimated -> Hot Stuff -> Eyes -> Last Dance is what most remember. The post drums Truckin' -> On The Radio was a little sloppy, but fun. They really ended the 2nd set with a flurry as the Around & Around -> She Works Hard For The Money -> Turn On Your Lovelight was mind-bending. The Day Tripper encore is only notable, as it was the last time they played it.

.

Or Maybe This....?

Now that we got that 83 show released, I think, and this is only my opinion mind you, but I think it's high time for a June 1970 release. June 5, 1970 Acoustic and Electric FW There's probably room for filler from June 4th and/or June 6th...this three-night run was one for the ages. Garcia, so youthful, his voice resonated to the stars where we all dance and twirl in the 21st century. Of course, not sure what all those Hollywood executives feel about spinning multiple nights on one release. Hmmm... WE ALL know Dick Latvala, during his famed tenure used to release partial shows, just to fill a bootleg. Common sense?!?

Fall '79

Been really entrenched in '83 (as always) and '79. Brent's playing in the Fall of '79 and the band responding accordingly? C'mon...that stuff is trans dimensional. Not enough of it floating around out there. I read a few posts down stating a request of 12/1/79. I have only had a tape of the second set of that show. I still love that show. Beyond stoked to see what we get!

Anyone else think it's high

Anyone else think it's high time for a 1969 show?

High time...

It's always time for a '69 show.

Next Dave's

Based on absolutely zero evidence . . . I'm guessing spring 79. The last three picks were all fall shows, so why not spring ? 5/4/79 is a good one -- it was a RSD release awhile back. Something from around that time +/- a month. 4/20/84 would also make for a great Pick one of these days. Just because of the date, I bet it would break the record for fastest sellout.

DaP 28

Since the very last pick was 83, we are not likely to see another Brent era show for a year or two. I would guess another from the returned to the vault batch.

When I was out having a few

When I was out having a few beers this past Friday night (October 5) my change came back as a $5 bill from 1985. And this while reading dead.net. So there you have it... indubitably an '85 release will be next!

When I was out having a few

next pick

I wouldn't mind any of the suggestions here (I never do). Any '79 is certainly overdue, and 1991 could use some updates to the catalog. I don't think we're going to get a Brent ('79 included) show given the last pick, I guess 1991 is possible. Like I've said before, this year of picks has been somewhat underwhelming. There has always been a tent-pole show (or two!), and I don't think this year has had one yet. You could make argument for 11/6/77, but really it's just the Truckin' (and Passenger and TMNS) that light things up. The double '71 release has two great Other Ones, but I think the rest of the shows are interchangeable with several other Fall '71 releases (although superior to 2017's 1971 duet). 9/2/83 was welcome as it gave us the first official mid-80s show in YEARS and the first official mid 80s HSF yet. But while it's a good pick for the era, I don't think anyone would hold it up as a tent pole show. I think we need something on the level of 1/22/73, 4/2/73, 7/17/76, 2/24/74, 11/17/72, 11/17/72 to complete 2018. Given the previous picks and the box set, I think the years most likely to yield such a show are 1969-1970, 1972 (less likely with DaP 24 from this era), and 1976. Some genius on this board mentioned 11/7/69 with 11/2/69 as filler as a suggestion. I think I would welcome that with open arms!

This season of Dave's Picks was NOT underwhelming

The only pick I really didn't care for this year so far was 11-6-77. It was never a tape I spun much of from the 77 choices I have/had. Abq and Boise are both solid damned shows. I was spinning 9/2/83 long before it was slated for any release and I can't say enough how much I dig the early 80's choices Dave's has offered us. I will definitely be renewing my subscription for next year. I have to figure that even if the choice doesn't ring a lofty bell with me initially, it will catch up to me eventually or I will catch up to IT, rather. Somebody said something about some '73 or some '76 shows. I think if they chose from either year it would more than likely be '76 given that they just put out that beautiful PNW Box. I only picked up Believe It If You Need It but I have all of the shows so it isn't too much a bummer. I always love the art work, the liner notes and the remastered sound but I live on a major budget. Any rumors on the forthcoming release will be met with appreciation and maybe light heckling/jest.

3rd Listen...

I like this release a lot. The mix is not as good as a 16 track, but you can hear all the instruments, and the band is playing well. Looking forward the that 1979 release next month :>

@cosmicdavid

You misunderstand me. I also believe that DaP26 and 27 are damn solid shows. Worthy of release and fun listens. I was just pointing out that (in my opinion and my opinion only) that 2018 was lacking a "big show" from the DaP series. By this (arbitrary) designation I mean show of similar stature to 5/25/77, 11/17/73, 11/17/72, 11/4/77, 2/24/74, 7/19/74, 7/17/76, 4/2/73, and 1/22/78. Heck, I'd argue that this years selections are still below 7/31/74, 10/22/71, 2/2/70, 11/30/80, 5/14/74, 12/12/69, 3/28/73, and 8/25/72.

For me the biggest surprise

For me the biggest surprise of the year thus far is that the series had a release from a year more recent than 1981. Not unhappy with the shows thus far but have big expectations for the year ender!

we need a Dark Star

from either Pigpen or Bruce, show TC some love from 1969...stay away from those reels unless they are Plangent processed before Norman gets his hands on them.

Daves Picks 28

So looking forward to D.P. 28 but, I almost hate the "NOT knowing" part! I guess I'm just too impatient but I can't help but think they're more of us who feel the same way! I mean how often do people spend $100 without knowing what they are getting???? Food for thought anyways. Oh well I guess I'll wait the 3 weeks and quit my b#%&*ing I mean, they are after all, GRATEFUL DEAD!!!!!

I know what Dave's Picks 28 is

Sorry, I cannot reveal this information. I am not an employee of Rhino Records, Warner Music Group, the Mexicali pressing plant, or any other party involved in the distribution of this release. I did get the info from an employee, though. Clues: 1.) Brent Mydland is not in the Grateful Dead at this time. 2.) He did not meet any of the players that would form the band "Silver." 3.) The United States of America.

DP28 Clues

1. 66-78, 90-95 2. Who is “he,” here? The keyboardist? If so, we know it’s not Hornsby. I also imagine that Keith and Vince may have met members of Silver at one point. That I guess leaves us with Pig Pen? 69er?! (as some have been saying/hoping). 3. Sort of at a loss on clue 3. The show is in USA? Or, maybe American Beauty? Well, we know it was released November 1st; also that Dave’s Pick 28 will be released November 1st. I don’t know, so...let’s say November 70, maybe one from the Cap shows?

Re: I know what Dave's Picks 28 is

2.) He did not meet any of the players that would form the band "Silver." "He" is Brent Mydland.

Re: I know what Dave's Picks 28 is

1976. Seemed inevitable

DP 28, Clue 1 and 2

Uh-huh, so he both is and is not BM? At any rate, I also dig 76....

If "he" hadn't met with the

If "he" hadn't met with the boys in Silver yet, it is before 1971

DP28, I got you...

...I get it. So, my guess on 1970 still stands.

YES....1970

It's time for 1970, preferably June OR, possibly better, any pristine board from 1969...I'm thinking any of those April 69 shows would send us all into orbit

United States of America clue?

Could United States of America relate to the band from 1968? Possible show from '68? Or that the album was from a 1972 show that was not Europe 72, but rather US 1972?

United States of America clue?

Boston Tea Party...

Clue....

Ok, so if Brent wasn't in Silver, and they formed in 1971..... The clue is United States of America... how does that tie to a concert pre-1971? ?? Oh... The only LP released by The United States Of America was in 1968.

USA show clues

that most likely means it's not from Europe, Egypt or Canada. Brent was in Silver. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_(band) Pigpen era most likely.

DaP #28 Clues & 1970

Do not know on the clues, but I can say 1970 is, by far, the most under represented great GD year, in terms of # of live releases & live discs. IMHO, the top GD years would be: 1969, '70, '71, '72, '73, '74, '76, '77, '78, '89, and '90. YMMV. # live releases/discs by my unofficial count, box = release of 5+ discs. 1972: 16.00/119.25, 1 box set 1977: 15.00/72.50, 3 boxes+DP#29 1990: 10.32/64.07, 2 boxes 1973: 11.50/51.00, 1.5 boxes 1974: 13.50/49.00, 0.5 box+GDMSDTRK 1978: 10.00/41.00, 1 box+ Cl Wint 1971: 13.00/36.12, 0 boxes (L&Gent) 1969: 9.50/31.90, 1 box 1976: 8.00/28.00, 0 boxes 1989: 8.68/27.93, 2 boxes 1970: 9.50/20.83, 0 boxes Read there is nothing in the Vault after June. Is that true?

DaP #28 Clues & 1970

RE: Clue

Yeah, sorry, that was where I was going with it. The band from California. Years active, 1967-68. Could be a tie in with the 50th anniversary of Anthem of the Sun.

Re: Random Speculation

I am going with a twofer from 1968. I was listening to Dicks Picks 22 a couple days ago.. the sound was good, all things considered. I am guessing a twofer.. two segments making up three discs. The timing seems about right.. and we will get another Dark Star.

1968 or 1970?

Speculation here seems to have narrowed to 68 or 70. I'm still going with 70. 68 seems too spotty, too many missing and incomplete shows. Here's link to an interesting read on the "Missing 1968 Shows." On that page there's also links to 1969/1970. Seems like there's just a lot more SBDs from 1970. And yes, also seems like pretty much everything after June is missing from the vault. So, we looking at first half 1970??? http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2014/09/missing-1968-shows.html Then again, if ThomasVan is right, 68!

DP 28

4/21/70 with filler from 4/22/70.

Philly American Liberty Bell...1968

what about these: 4/26/68 Electric Factory, Philadelphia, PA 4/27/68 Electric Factory, Philadelphia, PA 4/28/68 Electric Factory, Philadelphia, PA Not even sure if these are available....

Re: United States of America clue?

Yes...I like your thinking: Boston Tea Party December 1969 Although Spring 69 was even more psychedelic...4/21 4/22 4/23 Things are heating up...and we'll know Fryday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN ENTWISTLE AND JONH LENNON

I just wanted to drop this one in with all the guesses going on for the next Dave's Pick.Hard to believe Entwistle would have been 74 and Lennon 78.

DP28

2/14,15/69, The Electric Factory a long defunct Philly venue was located at 22nd & Arch. I'm going with the USA clue or if I'm thinking outside the box I'd either go with 5/24/70 or 6/21/71 NOT USA venues. Oh the suspense, I'd still like to see 12/1/79 get the full Norman.

in no particular order...

3-9-8110-16-81 8-22-93 12-1-79 10-15-76 2-26-77 10-29-77 2-9-73 2-15-73 Something from Oct. or Nov. '72 would most definitely satisfy How about the 11-13-72 Board that can't happen?

Random Speculation

Not as a result of anything said the last few days.. I have an itch that either Dave's 28 or 29 will be summer to fall of 72, just because we are due and there are lots of worthy, unreleased shows from this period. Plus, it will beat the drum loudly for next years subscription sales.

My USA clue?

That one replaced the Mississippi/Ohio/Missouri Rivers clue. I don't know about the cover art - but that's easy - skeletons. Skeletons doing what? I like Tim McDonagh art both for Grateful Dead Productions and on his own. Check him out if you haven't already: www.mcdonaghillustration.com This Dave's Picks 28 will delight and disappoint, as it's nearly impossible to please everybody, we are a very diverse audience.

Batdorf & Rodney and Silver

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Batdorf & Rodney were an early-1970s folk rock duo consisting of John Batdorf and Mark Rodney. The two began performing in the summer of 1970 in Las Vegas. They toured extensively with many of the most famous acts of the 1970s. Their tours included playing at Carnegie Hall. They issued three albums on three different labels between 1971 and 1975, logging two chart hits during their final year after signing with Arista Records. A track from their third album, "You Are a Song," written by Jim Weatherly, was released as a single and reached number 87 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 during the summer of 1975. It also reached #19 on the Canadian Adult Contemporary chart. Their other hit, a non-album single, was an early version of "Somewhere in the Night," which reached number 69 in December of that year. Issued concurrently with Helen Reddy's version, the song became a Top 40 hit for her in 1976 and a Top 10 hit for Barry Manilow in 1979. Another song, "All I Need," reached the Canadian Adult Contemporary chart in 1973, peaking at #79. Batdorf & Rodney disbanded in 1975. Remaining with Arista, Batdorf soon formed the group Silver then released "Wham Bam" in 1976, the most successful single of his career, which reached #16 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2008, the duo reunited to record an album titled Still Burnin'. ---- Silver was an American 1970s country rock band, best known for their 1976 pop hit "Wham Bam," written by country songwriter Rick Giles. Members of the group included John Batdorf (formerly of Batdorf & Rodney), lead vocals and guitar; Brent Mydland (later of the Grateful Dead), keyboards and vocals; Tom Leadon (brother of the Eagles' Bernie Leadon), bass guitar and vocals; Greg Collier, guitar and vocals; and Harry Stinson, drums and percussion. Phil Hartman designed the cover art for Silver, the quintet's only album. The band's recordings were released on the Arista record label. The single's title, "Wham Bam", was shown as "Wham Bam Shang-A-Lang" and peaked at #16 on the Billboard Hot 100 the week of October 2, 1976. It is ranked as the 70th biggest hit of 1976. Arista executives gave the band the song to record after concluding that none of the other tracks on the album they produced had single potential. Arista head Clive Davis himself co-produced the single with Tom Sellers; the rest of the album was produced by Sellers and Silver. Chicago radio superstation WLS, which gave "Wham Bam" much airplay, ranked the song as the 80th biggest hit of 1976. It peaked at number eight on their surveys of October 23 and 30, 1976. Arista released two further singles by the band, Musician (It's Not an Easy Life) and Memory which featured the non-album track So Much for the Past, written by Brent Mydland, on the B-side. The band can be heard in the 2017 Marvel Studios sequel film, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, as "Wham Bam Shang-A-Lang" is included on the movie's soundtrack.
