    Who's up for a revolutionary evolutionary ride? DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 30: FILLMORE EAST, NEW YORK, NEW YORK 1/2/70 captures the Grateful Dead as they make their first foray from the experimental 60s into their early 70s acoustic Americana period. Yes, this one is a little bit country and a little bit (psychedelic) rock and roll.

    When the "Magnificent Seven" - Pigpen on percussion, T.C. on keys - first took the stage on 1/2/70, evidence was clear that the trip was about to take a turn. From their western wears to the twang in Jerry’s “broken-string blues,” it appeared they'd brought the Bakersfield sound to the Big Apple. They worked through much of what would become Workingman's Dead, stunning the crowd with laid-back numbers like "Uncle John's Band," "Casey Jones," and "Black Peter." Just the same, they satisfied 60s stalwarts with magical versions of "Dark Star," "St. Stephen," and "That's It For The Other One." Sonic alchemy, indeed!

    DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 30: FILLMORE EAST, NEW YORK, ​New York 1/2/70 has been rounded out with a bit of 1/3/70 (the subscribers-only bonus disc features the bulk of 1/3/70). It was recorded by the great Owsley "Bear" Stanley and has been lovingly mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman.

    DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 30 is limited to 20,000 individually-numbered copies*.

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

    bonus disc snafu?

    Since this release is a numbered limited edition and has sold-out this must mean that they sent you someone else's (non-subscribers) numbered Dave's Picks Vol. 30.

    Quacking duck Scarlet-Fire

    Keith fan I copied this a few years ago, look familiar?

    QUACK....QUACK.....QUACK. QUACK, QUACK-QUACK-QUACK. What was that!? Oh..Quacking Duck Fire on the Mountain, Tuscaloosa, 5/17. That's right - the immortal Scarlet / Fire that was so good even Jerry regretted it. Recalling that performance years later, Jerry reflects....

    "I was chilling out, taking it easy up there after the transition into Fire on the Mountain, and... a nice buzz started creeping in after a fan passed a joint our way...that happened all the time in those days, where they'd spark one up and hand it off to one of our security guys; and then Ramrod or Bear or one of those guys would get a hold of it for "testing" - their words, not mine - and it eventually made its way to us."

    "After the intense Scarlet performance, I thought it would be a hoot to ease back and play to this great buzz I was feeling, which was really not an unusual thing for us...and you have to understand, I use the Mu-tron on tunes like Fire on the Mountain and Estimated Prophet, you know, to get a little bit more of a snarky sound than just a traditional wah wah pedal. On that particular night, in the light haze of a cool buzz, the Mu-Tron ended up sounding like a duck-call of sorts."

    "I didn't think much of it at the time....but as it turned out, within the tape trading circles (which had blossomed into full swing that Spring), it simply came to be known as 'Quacking Duck' Mountain. After that show in Tuscaloosa, people would start hollering 'Duck! Duck!' every time we grooved our way into Fire on the Mountain...and it was really just...I mean what else can I do? Bring a monkey onstage? It came to be expected, like Townshend and the guitar smashing; and people got upset when I wouldn't do it. I know how he felt - 'Smash your guitar Pete, smash your guitar!' Well, what you have to realize, is that it's the spontaneity of a moment like that which makes it special; and you can't just REPRODUCE spontaneity man - it's a paradox, you dig? 'Play Quacking Duck Jerry, play Quacking Duck!' I'm sorry, I can't do it. It got to be a weight around our necks, but eventually we moved on."

    "Tuscaloosa was the only time I ever did it, and to be sure, I did see a line of fuzzy little yellow ducks marching across stage...It was weird man, really really weird...beyond the pale..."

    I did forget to mention Zack. He is unbelievable! He has now been their drummer for over 20 years. With Ringo as his dad, and Keith Moon as his godfather, what do you expect? Keith gave him his first drum kit. Check our Amazing Journey / Sparks to see him at his best.
    Pino left the band years ago.

    So My DaP30 came without the bonus disc (subscriber). I sent a nice email to Dead.net about the snafu, and today I got my bonus disc, attached to yet another copy of DaP30. Thanks Dead.net. My only miscue EVER by dead.net and they went above and beyond in correcting. Thanks y'all.

    Afternoon Rockers!

    Started off on the drive in with the "quacking duck" Scarlet / Fire, which resides in this fine anniversary date of Tuscaloosa 5/17/77. After literally years of comparing, I've settled on this as my favorite Scarlet / Fire. It's long (25 minutes), and Garcia is on top of the solos. Donna's purring and moaning is good but not overdone 5/25 is overdone IMHO). Transition is great. Mutron ducks. Keith does play that psuedo organ that drives me nuts at Cornell. The '78 versions are almost all marred by a certain slide guitar padawan. Yeah, this is it. 5/11 is my 2nd fav, and 2/3/78 from DP18 is probably my 3rd. Believe it or not, I really like The Closing Of Winterland version. And I'm a sucker for Return To Normal, aka DaP 7 - Let It Burn Let It Burn Let It Burn. 5/13/77 would have me if the Scarlet wasn't castrated at 7 minutes.

    Big Who fan here. I saw them as close as one could see the original band. I got into them at 10 yrs old, right after they broke up in '82. Finally got to see them in '89 as a 17 year old, and as cool as it was to see them live, Townshend was playing acoustic guitar only, and there was a whole orchestra and backup singers - not cool in hindsight, and doesn't sound cool on record - but it was better than nothing at the time. Next saw them play Quadrophenia which was my favorite album, and it was bonkers. Townshend still on acoustic guitar, but Zak had joined the band. Getting there. In 2000 I saw them from the 4th row. Townshend on electric guitar finally. Entwistle still alive, Daltrey sounding great, and Zak still on the drums - a little Keith Moon behind the kit - I mean it's unbelievable how much he drums like Moon, though make no mistake, Zak is a calculated time keeper, and Moon was the Tasmanian Devil. And Rabbit Bundrick was on keyboards, which is just fine, as any Who fan will attest. But the best part was the set list. The Who revisits their past in phases - first Tommy in '89, then Quadrophenia in '96. In 2000, they were very heavy on the Who's Next / Lifehouse material, so we're talking deep cuts. And Townshend looked more excited to be wielding those electric guitars more than the fans; it's like he finally said "fuck my hearing, I miss this too much". Sorry for the long post, but you have to check out this set list:

    1) I Can't Explain
    2) Substitute
    3) Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere *
    4) I Don't Even Know Myself *
    5) My Wife
    6) Baba O'Riley
    7) Relay *
    8) Bargain *
    9) I'm One
    10) Pinball Wizard
    11) The Real Me
    12) Who Are You
    13) Magic Bus
    14) Behind Blue Eyes
    15) You Better You Bet
    16) 5:15
    17) Won't Get Fooled Again

    Encore:

    18) The Kids Are Alright *
    19) Let's See Action *
    20) My Generation

    If there's an asterisk, it means there was no way in hell you would have thought they would have played these tunes - it had been THAT long since they went there.

    All the Dark Stars from '72

    . . . 30 of the 31 Dark Stars from '72 are at https://archive.org/details/DarkStar_1972. They've been joined into a single, chronological recording (10/23 was omitted due to poor sound quality). Total length: 11 hours, 42 minutes, 37 seconds. The 11 Dark Stars from Europe '72 take up a little over 4 hours. The list of Dark Stars now includes timestamps to help locate each performance. SonicWallpaper, who deftly cobbled this together, apparently is close to uploading a similar treatment of all 1973 DarkStars. To paraphrase Oroborous: get your space suit on and fire up some monster DSs from '72!

    The Who

    I also caught The Who Monday night at MSG, and let me say, anyone who thinks they are "hacks" or "over the hill" is wrong. They were spot on! Since Roger had his throat surgery, and continues to have that situation monitored closely, he sounds very strong. Hard to believe he is 75 years old.
    This time around they have a full orchestra with them, and Tommy & Quadraphenia never sounded better! After all, these tunes were written for an orchestra and they were absolutely moving. And when they finished off with Baba O'Riley, the young lady in the first violinist's chair was able to do justice to that manic, gypsy fiddle part!
    As far as the pot issue, Roger had asked nicely early on for the folks to desist, or to take it elsewhere, less they threaten his voice and therefore the show. So cut him some slack for that. He is just trying to give the best performance possible for the crowd. There has to be something said for that.
    Rock on

    The Guessing Game

    I love the Grateful Dead guessing game. Give me 5 minutes of any E72 Dark Star, and I'll nail it.....maybe :D

    I go to my cousin's for 4th of July and NYE and there's always a mix that includes the Sirious Radio Dead. I am about 15 / 16 on getting the correct song version for anything before 1979. The only one I missed was Scarlet / Fire. I mixed up the two from the July 1978 Box Set. I guessed 7/7 Red Rocks but they were playing 7/3 St. Paul. I knew it was St. Paul too, but I started second guessing myself. I started thinking, well what would Dave play? He'd go with Red Rocks....grrrrrr.

    Of course I'm like a circus clown to half the crowd there. "Thanks, yes, quite a talent? oh well, believe it or not it's kind of easy - there are a lot of context clues to listen fo.....what? yes, yes, I have a job. See, if I don't hear Pigpen, but I do hear two drummers, I know it's somewh....huh? yes it's a real job, it pays the mortgage, puts food on the table......"

The next box set will be announced next Tuesday, May 7, 2019 at approximately 1:00PM EST. The box set will contain the 6 shows played at The Capitol Theater in February 1971 or maybe every show played at The Capitol Theater.

Would love that! So many debuts, the ESP experiment and the Dark Star> Wharf Rat (debut)> Beautiful Jam> Dark Star would be on the 3 cd compilation for sure. Amazing that they only ever did Wharf Rat in the middle of Dark Star once. One of my bands does Wharf Rat quite a bit, and it's hard to avoid doing Dark Star teases in it. I've even labeled some of them Wharf Star jams as we'll go back and forth. We also like to throw The Other One jams into Wharf Rat at the bridge when it crashes into E, or other songs in E scales, like Phish's Carini, but I digress... I'm not expecting the Capitol Box this time around, but they have to at some point since the Bettys came back, and they were among the most sought after. If they indeed do announce it, I'll definitely be on board. It would be odd to release the already released show as part of it. If they did, I would hope it would sort of be a buy 6 get one free type deal to keep it the same price range as the PacNW box, which was $50 more than July '78's 5 shows.

Really, where to start....

That’s why we need more than one per year.

Mini-Boxes: Pigpen/TC, Keith, Brent, Vince/Bruce.

That way people can choose their era, and for those whose era spans 65-95, they really score.

Moved to the second hockey game (muted), now spinning 5-19-74 vinyl.

Vinyl sounds awesome with the volume turned up.
Starting to think that the return of vinyl in 180g form was a good idea by those people who keep coming up with ways to get me to send them money.

The title to Bolo's post is reminiscent of some of the opening lines of the song In the Beginning by the Moody Blues from their 1969 album Threshold of a Dream. Another clue for a 1969 show, or was he just paraphrasing Descartes?

Fugazi always meant fake when I heard it used and that seems consistent with the context in which Bolo used the word.

Bolo's reference to the captcha thingy showing stages of his life - does this mean shows spread over different years or decades, or is it just a fugazi clue?

Chrono-synclastic infundibulum? Gotta say never heard of this before and had to look it up to see what it meant. As I understand it now a person who has entered a chrono-synclastic infundibulum exists at multiple points and lines in space time. I like ShaggyFraggle's thoughts on this and his pointing out that it is from a Kurt Vonnegut's book Sirens of Titan. So are we getting shows from different points in space and time throughout the dead's career? Or did Bolo just want use the phrase chrono-synclastic infundibulum in a post?

So many questions...

McArthur Court, August 16, 1981, Eugene Oregon, Grateful Dead with Ken Kesey, Zane Kesey, Ken Babbs and the Thunder Machine.
Hmmm...
Looks like Kesey and his Thunder Machine also made an appearance at some other shows as well, including maybe 6/25/78 Eugene, Oregon, 5/8/84 Silva Hall, Eugene, Oregon and 6/23/90 Eugene, Oregon. I think I see a pattern here.
Making me think maybe it will be a series of shows from Eugene, Oregon with appearances by the Thunder Machine.

....'cause, you know, that's how it works.
8.16.81 is fine. Gotta give kudos to a Stranger 2nd set opener. Right?
edit.... Scarlet is fast. Fasten your seatbelts.

After checking to see at which shows Kesey's Thunder Machine made an appearance, and all of the ones that I was able to find looked pretty hot based on the comments that I found with the shows. Looks like the Thunder Machine also made an appearance at the closing of Winterland show on 12/31/78, but that has already been released. If that is what the box will be, a series of shows with the Thunder Machine, I'll be a happy camper, and if not I am guessing whatever it is will make me smile.

I gotta say the Bolo clue sleuthing seems really on point. If the box doesn't turn out to be a collection of shows from different eras; then he has to admit he's just f*ing with us :)

Well, my guess was off, surprised the UJB> Black Peter segue is cut (Dave seems to love Black Peter) and at the cut of Cumberland and especially Dire Wolf given the cover art, but no complaints. Didn't realize CR&S was public domain, but I love any disc that opens with that.

2 weeks ago I predicted:
Only clue given was Alligator, and they very wisely used the key covers as filler on disc 2, and the rule about originals or public domain leads me to think the bonus disc will look thus:
Cumberland Blues, Alligator> Drums> Alligator> (Caution Jam tracked?) Feedback, Mason's Children, That's It For The Other One> Cosmic Charlie, Uncle John's Band> Black Peter, Dire Wolf

#952 has landed in N.Y.C. via UPS just one minute ago! Wow! Usually we are late in receiving a Dave's compared to the rest of the country but not this time. What a complete surprise. Having said, and to our European friends, my heart goes out to you for those long waits and #$%^& damned tax/postal fee collectors who 'Shake You Down' for extra money to get a cd in the mail. I got lucky this time.

It looks beautiful on an unseasonably cold May 3rd. Smiling on a Cloudy Day!?!

Two things here:
1 - The confirmed ship date for DaP30 was April 26th. Now we hear that Dead.net / Rhino is moving to a different warehouse and shipments will be delayed!! Why was this move not done on Feb. 2, right after DaP29 went out? C'mon Doc! We are dying out here! 3 months was bad enough. This is just insult to injury!
2 - Most of us call for "complete" shows. While DaP30 may include the complete show from Jan. 2, looking at my Deadbase it appears that this release has completely reconfigured the set list of the show and they have changed the flow. Not cool. It may be complete, but it is not the way the boys offered it up that night.

Rock on

It’s friday, the snows gone for now, it’s a bright sunny Friday in the high country, new Dead showing up everywhere, Bolos got this place jumpin’ , new box on the horizon, and if that ain’t Enough,, WELCOME BACK DOC!

Edit: oh yea, and the AVs came to play last night too!

Doesn't look like I'm getting it until next week which is fine since I do a lot of quality listening driving to/from work...

Doc - very happy to see you here. Every time I think of April 71, I think of all the great shows you have sent my way over the years. Glad you are well!

and of course, keeping with tradition, now that the release is starting to hit everyone's mailbox it's time to guess the next one. I say Dec 79!

They have done this before.. I think someone, perhaps KeithFan?? has a handle on re-ordering them using some software package.

Agree it's not ideal, but first world problems. I am more interested in getting the music. Got my shipping order last night, the arrival date is not yet in the system. 1970, what a pivotal year.. Bring it! I think one day we will get 9/19 and 9/20.

Grate to hear from you Doc and glad to hear you are doing well. I will have to scan the 71 catalogue for gaps...are there any recent upgrades from 71 that you are aware of?

Bolo...glad to see you are back from your interstellar galactic travels and as cryptic as ever. Maybe you could at least tell us where to find one of those chrono synclastic infundibulum things you’ve been riding around in/on. I spent the whole morning searching Amazon, eBay and Craigslist...cant even find a used one...WTF?!?!

Anyways, finally got my shipping notice today and was saddened to learn that without the infundibulum thing, I will probably have to wait until tomorrow for my subscription copy of Daves 30...I have stalled out on Europe 72 for now. Stuck back on 04/26...but I did give a listen last night to 04/27/85 that Sixtus called out the other day...fun show with lots of 80s energy, and a cool setlist. Also busted out 05/05/77 New Haven...love the Sugaree in this one, but the highlight for me is Peggy-O...Phil’s base seems to be especially Grate in this one as well.

Peace all...please play it loud today...maybe I’ll catch a tune!

Edit: Bonus Disc problems. I was hoping for the Morning Dew, but not surprised. Am surprised about possible reordering?....seems odd
Double edit: never mind on the Dew...found it...track listing on my phone has it in the same line as The Monkey and the Engineer so I missed it...:

Daves 31 guess: would love some 79...think it’s been a while? would also like to see some 82 or 85. Also think we are due for something from the 90s.

As we wait for these Fillmore shows...

The 30 trips 1986 show is from this date at the Cal Expo center. I love the eclectic set-list on this one.

And check out 5-3-87 at the Frost: https://archive.org/details/gd87-05-03.sbd.hinko.18848.sbeok.shnf/gd198…

The soundboard is really clear and there are a couple cool moments in the first set. Brent preforms a rousing version of Little Bunny Foo Foo as Bob is plagued by technical issues. looking forward to jamming the second set at work and hoping Dave's 30 hits the mailbox this weekend.

Blimely that was quick!

I have received mine in the UK today. It usually takes at least a couple of weeks to arrive here.

Thats how a DaP30 got to the UK so fast.

My shipping notice didn’t have a tracking number, but UPS sent me an email saying that I have a package coming tomorrow.

Song reordering?
Same thing a year ago. Took me quite a while to undo the damage. It’s not as simple as reordering the songs on the computer because, at least on last year’s release, tuning for the next song was appended to the end of the previous track, and so has to be edited. Very annoying.
Hope they didn’t screw that up again this year.

What’s up Doc?
Glad you’re doing well.

Great news for you that you got the latest installment in the Dave's series so quickly. I would have to agree with the "leave the setlist flow as originally played alone" criticism. That is as they say: A No Brainer.

Stoltzy - I'm here with you my man. Pouring one out for Ole' Chewbacca - RIP Peter Mayhew.

Heya Doc. Glad to see you are good.

I am happy with the Bonus disc, but I am feeling VGuy's displeasure for No Cumberland....pouring one out for you too, homey.

Sixtus

I hear you icecreamkid on the DaP 26 bonus reordering, I normally would have edited out all the tuning and teases, but just stuck ordering it correctly and trying to ignore when that Tennessee Jed tease goes somewhere else (I think that was the most prominent one) but I honestly don't listen to the 12/14 part of that Pick as much. Not because of that, but because the 11/17 portion is sooooooo much better to me, and the setlists are so very similar, so I can't get myself to listen to those back to back again like I did when it first arrived, and I usually listen to 11/17 then move on to another era. Since I mainly listen on a USB drive in the car, I'll reorder 1/2 and 1/3 accordingly, but I may take the time to do those edits this time around, because I think this one will get more consistent play of both shows. Or all 4 shows, however you wanna look at it.
