    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.

    Deadhead Stories

    Good morning dead people....if you haven’t ordered your copy of deadhead stories, I would do so quickly. As of yesterday there were only 60 copies left. It is very well done, with 11x8.5 color, and over 300 pages of awesome stories. Got mine on last Monday and already 1/3 of the way through. By far my favorite book about the Dead so far. There is one Grate story about the 2nd group to get in line for The Closing of Winterland...5 days early! By the time the show started the line was around the block!!!!!

    Link to deadhead stories site to order is here. All proceeds go to Charity.

    Great story-thanks. Almost makes me wish I lived in America!

    Listening to 7/1/78 from the 1978 box set as I type. This was the one where the Dead played with many other bands as part of "Willie Nelsons Picnic", so its a single set show. But its got some great playing on it. Estimated is the highlight for me-great jamming leading into The Other One. Minimum slide show - it doesn't detract from a great Tennessee Jed, if you factor it out, and actually sounds quite nice and mournful leading out of Playing in the Band. Less is more, as they say. Great Jerry guitar in Wharf Rat, now, too- hey, this show is really alright!

    Re: KCJ / Buttons Stems, Caps and Ediblezzz

    The Buttons, then the stems and caps.... and a three week delay in posting. Thanks to the good, quick thinking folks here at dead.net.. we set up a GoFundMe to get KCJ out of jail and back to work..

    Don't mind me, I didn't have time to read your whole post, but I did quickly skim through the text, and having gotten four hours of sleep this week alone, I am quite sure I absorbed the entirety of your post:

    ' ..sorry didn't post, gone for three and a half weeks, brought my newbe brother in law to a show against his wife's best wishes, dosed him.. then got him stoned.. and there was nothing left to drink but hard liquor and IPA's.. what's a guy to do? '

    It was Sixtus and his grower/attorney friend Cosmic Charlie that first come through with the plan that freed the J' family from the calamity that was sure to catch up to them. In the end, a clear case of mistaken identity.

    Tragedy narrowly averted.

    Great tale, KCJ.. good to hear you had fun and escaped the long arm of the law (meaning your sister in law in this case).

    In all honesty.. I really wanted to go to the Gorge this year (and perhaps Folsom Field as a close second), but the timing and ticket prices worked against me. Still, I love the PNW.. a truly great spot in the planet blue I plan to revisit as often as I can.

    Glad it all worked out.

    Edit: Did nothing but art (woodworking, live in a 115 year old Victorian - it ever ends) and a moderate bike ride today.. but listened to the Good Ole GD the whole while. Started at 7 am with 06/24/90 Autzen Stadium Eugene, OR which only fueled more high intensity GD.. so for the bike ride and table saw amped it up with 10/12/84 and 9/18/87 from 30 trips. Good golly. I realize 30 trips got mixed reviews.. but they are just wrong, it's pretty freaking awesome when an 84 and 87 show can get someone so amped up. Perhaps not my best purchase but, well.. No Regrets. Diplomatic enough?

    Back to your previously scheduled June '74 GD.

    Tales from The Gorge, A Dead Head Story (part 1)

    Hey now Dead Rockers......first let me apologize for my long absence. Landed back here in KC a week ago today at 4am, fresh from a 10 day trip to the beautiful PNW....back to work last week and then Friday a very large tree uprooted from our back yard and fell on our power lines, so we have been without power and internet for most of the past weekend, but onward!!!!

    Although I have been only lurking here the last few weeks, I have still been keeping up and appreciate the call (Oroborous) for my return......and so now that I have taken the opportunity to get everything exactly perfect, let my inspiration flow till my tale is told and done........

    Me, Mrs. Casey, and her brother (brother in law-BIL), all caught the red-eye into Seattle from KC on the night of June 6th. By the time we scooped up our bags and negotiated the rental car lines it was 2:30am. We checked into a blue light cheap hotel there by Sea-Tac that I had booked months before in preparation for our drive to the Gorge for two nights of Dead & Company. In the morning BIL and I hit the nearest dispensary to load up on some legal party favors while my wife finished getting ready to go.

    Now I’ve been to Colorado since legalization, but the “Cannabis Clinic” we found was on a different level than anything I’ve experienced before. There were a lot of options and we took full advantage., and the bud tenders were of course very helpful…..
    “What would you recommend for pre-rolls”, I say…..
    ”Do you like Indica or Sativa”, she asks,
    “both”, I answer!
    “Hash Infused”?
    “Sure that sounds Grate”!
    Went through a similar process with some other goodies, and out we came 30 minutes later with 4 tubes of pre-rolls (hash infused and also Willie’s Reserve), a couple grams of flower, 2 oil cartridges, a new pen (Seattle Seahawks – 12th Strain branded - for the oil), a couple packs of chewable candies, and last but not least, a plastic syringe filled with some hashy goo which we found to be very applicable to the candies….
    “Be careful with this she said”, “Only rice grain size portions”…..
    “Sure, no problem” I say…….(smile, smile, smile), out we go, back to pick up the Mrs., sharing candies along the way, and on to our hotel at Moses Lake about 40 minutes east of The Gorge.

    After stopping for lunch, and a very scenic 3 hour drive through the mountains and over The Columbia River (wow, what a site), we rolled into Moses Lake about 1:00pm. First stop….the liquor store, to load up on IPA for me, Jack Daniels for BIL & wine for the Mrs., a bag of ice, plus a disposable cooler if we could find one. I asked the liquor store dude if he had any styrofoam coolers, but no dice. Payed for everything else and walked out…..then, just as we were loading up I spotted some old buckets that someone had piled up…looked like trash in front of the store….and just like that we had a cooler  Time to check in to the room

    Ok, for those who already know the background story on my choice of accommodations, I apologize, but I think for context it bears repeating. I planned this Dead & Co tour stop in connection with my in-laws 40th Anniversary Celebration to be held on the Oregon Coast the following weekend (what timing….couldn’t believe my luck). I would have preferred to camp, and my wife agreed to do so, but she is no Deadhead, or camper for that matter, and so she only agreed to one night. I of course wanted to see both nights, and BIL also wanted to come to a show, so in compromise, I offered to purchase the VIP package which included 2 tickets to each show, 2 nights hotel accommodation in Moses Lake, plus bus ride to and from each show. Needless to say, she agreed, and so here were leaving the liquor store and on our way to the hotel.
    When we get there and walk into the lobby it is a quarter till 2:00 and there are already 25-30 Heads milling around in the lobby. The guy at the desk tells me that they are all waiting for the ticket packages that would be handed out at 2:00. First bus to The Gorge leaves at 3:00, 2nd bus at 4:00……that means BIL and I have 1 hour to check in, get ready, get our tickets/wristbands, and then be across the street to load up for the first bus.

    Back in the room we start getting ready and stocking supplies. Gonna be a little nip to the air tonight so I wear some jeans, one of my Courtney Pollock Tie Dye’s, Bolt hat, and my bright green Morning Dew sweatshirt tied around my waist for the later chill. I load up one plastic tube with 4 or 5 pre-rolls, pocketed my oil pen plus cartridge and then grabbed a half a handful of stems and caps that someone had mysteriously packed inside of my zip up shorts pocket that I had stuffed in my checked baggage…...what luck!!! Next we stock our new disposable cooler bucket full of IPA’s, bottle of JD, couple Cokes, and some ice. BIL is in his 30’s, about 10 years my junior and 13 years my wife’s little brother, and so before we go, she makes sure to tell me not to lose him….make sure he gets back OK! Of course, Of course…no worries BIL and I laugh!!!!! Now up to the lobby to grab tickets just before 3:00, and out to the bus….do I have everything? Nope, Oh shit…….I forgot THE BUTTONS!!!

    Here’s the background on THE BUTTONS….I think most of y’all know Agent Jeff Smith from our boards here, but if you don’t you should, because he’s one of the coolest Heads around these parts, always quick to share his fine art work of making our Dave’s Pick’s and Box Sets Digital Album covers pop with High Definition detail. Earlier this year, Jeff had helped me acquire some GD digital shows that I was missing from my collection, and in his mail parcel he included a button that he had made for the Dead & Co Boulder shows last summer. After seeing Jeff’s Boulder button, I asked him if he wouldn’t mind designing me a button for the upcoming Gorge trip and he kindly obliged with one of the coolest designs I could have imagined (see my avatar). I ordered 200 of the 2 and ¼ inches in diameter with sparkle background for the shows.

    Back to the room…grab 100 of the buttons, run across the street, and then finally after 28 years of being of being a GD fan, I AM ON THE BUS…..which is a fucking Greyhound!

    No folks, although we were just a few hundred miles north from where the famed vehicle now rests and rusts, this was no Kesey bus. There was no day-glow graffiti, or Merry Pranksters riding on top. The music was not blaring shows from long past as it should be, nor were there any stray travelers looking to hop aboard. And thank God Cowboy Neal was not at the wheel, because I don’t believe we would have had enough defibrillator machines to account for the carnage. Not surprisingly BIL and I were the only ones on the bus who had thought forward enough to bring a bucket full of beers, and so we sat quietly sipping beers and sucking on our oil pipes and eating edibles, hoping against a last minute ransack by the group of aging hippies on our supplies..

    After arriving at the scene/parking lot, and not listening closely to instructions about how to get back to The Bus……we straggled off with beer bucket in hand down the Golden Road (walking path) to the entrance of The Gorge, and things were starting to pick up as we were high steppin’ in to town, it was a rainbow full of sound…..there were fireworks, calliopes and clowns, and everybody was dancing!!!

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.

How about a box that's got all the different piano & keys players representing all the band configurations through the years?
Pig, TC, Keith, Brent, Vinnie & Bruce.
That would be something...

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.

Little known fact.. In his later years, he covered a mean version of Day Job.

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.

weekend plans confirmed. Although I will have to mix it up with some of the New Orleans Jazz Festival broadcasts on WWOZ.

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 :)

What did you think of DaP 26? I'm sure you had 12/14/71, but nobody had the SBD of 11/17/71 and just curious, in your 71 expertise, where did that improved sound land that one in your books? Glad to hear you're well!

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.
