    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*.

    So glad you made it man....yep, As he mentioned, Phil was at Red Rocks last week and then somehow got transported back to 1978. Sounds like the Jimmy Herring spaceship got him. I spotted him calling out into the abyss while doing perimeter rides on the carpet, and told him where to go....curious though Phil, if you were able to see the Dead & Co Boulder shows in Boulder before you were teleported? If you did, that must have been one hell of a run?

    Widespread Panic - Have always loved these guys, and IMO one of the best live bands around, but they don’t seem to get talked about much on these boards? Anyone have thoughts on that?

    2/28/69 Vinyl - it was worth the wait. First of all, any show that’s starts with Morning Dew, followed by a nice run of Pigpen songs is just fine by me. The art work blown up on the box is beautiful with liner notes about the recording and recorder (named Prototype #2, but referred to as a time machine....any thoughts on construction Jim?). The sound is of course excellent recorded on 16Track, with the highlight being for the Jam>Caution towards the end.

    KF - meant to say earlier that I loved your Fourth of July post....wish I had your skills! Can I just call you Uncle Gary from now on?

    Stoltzfus - glad you got your avatar going

    Dennis: Warfield sound is amazing enjoy! I’m hoping for the box set to be the complete run from Warfield. If the sound is that good then Holy Moly!!!

    Carlo13 - about spit up my beer with your Strohs comment

    DaveRock: Love it, but how do the 80s and 90s fit into your expectations synopsis?....never mind don’t answer that....expectations are just opportunities for disappointment. Something I’m not into either!!!!

    Oroborous: more on the Sasquatches in Part 2 of Tales from the Gorge...promise it’s coming soon...stay tuned!

    LMG: don’t think I have ever listened to that RT Egypt show.....today perhaps!

    Deadhead Brewer: Awesome story....here’s a thought. Being a Deadhead leads me to more real interaction with real people (many times random strangers), than anything else I do, other than work maybe. This is rare these days with all of the technology that we swim in everyday. Harkens back to the “Finding Home” article that I posted the other day. Love the synchronicity stories....like a constant reminder of where home is!

    1978 Box - still haven’t opened mine as I still don’t own a CD player, and I already have the digital copies....did listen to the Arrowhead show a day ago, which IMO is the best show of the box....(I may have a little bit of KC bias)....Just love that Wharf Rat...Jerry soars....And the long set in the middle of that heat? Arrowhead was absolutely baking that day, and being the festival type atmosphere with multiple acts the time for them I’m sure was limited, but they delivered in spades. One more thing about this show...I’m not 100% positive but I think my mom may have attended this show. She left us in 2014 so I can’t ask her, but I vaguely remember her talking about being there or maybe others she knew who went. She’s liked music and enjoyed going to concerts, and we talked about this often when I started attending various shows while in high school. She liked the Dead’s music OK, but more casually, just songs she heard on the radio or something...she was never really into the scene so this would have been her only show. I’m going to ask my dad about this, but he never remembers this kind of shit so maybe SOL...LOL!!!

    I’ll echo Grateful Han in telling y’all thank you for hanging out...I’m Grateful!!!!

    Be kind and Rock On!

    KCJ

    One more thing....if you haven’t already, don’t forget to pickup your copy of DeadHead Stories from Deadheadstories.org ...best $45 you will ever spend and all goes to charity. I’m about 200 pages in, and the stories are amazing. This beer guzzling hard ass has teared up numerous times.....a couple good Phil stories so far....one lucky Head even had Phil stop and sing him Happy Birthday. He had randomly run into Phil, and all he could think to say is, “Hi Phil, today is my birthday”.....Phil almost walked away but then at the last minute turned around and gave this Deadhead the thrill of their life ....how cool is that......I’m paraphrasing the story. Please pick up a copy and read it for yourself!

    '78 Bite

    Dave Rock I'd like to add the other one to the 1978 bikes. Especially early in the year. Dick's Picks 18 is unparalleled in my mind as far as the post hiatus performances go. MacArthur Court AKA close encounters with the Grateful Dead is also excellent. I think the wolf had something to do with that.

    I also think lazy lightning supplication started jamming out a bit more in 78. To be honest though I don't know a lot of versions from either year 77 or 78, just a general observation I'm making on this one.

    A really hot blonde just passed me.

    The music never stopped. They got incredibly sloppy on a lot of versions in 1978, however they have this extended Jam that they started doing that went from 20 seconds to 2 minutes almost, starting at about 3 1/2 minutes into the song. Dave's Picks 7 is an excellent example. And of course there is the lone wheel from 1978 on Dick's Picks 18.

    All in all I think 1978 may have been there most inconsistent year of the 70s. Truly a hit-or-miss affair. affair

    Anyway it's not what I came here for. The China Rider from Dave's Picks 21, which I affectionately refer to as recommendations from the dead since the man himself dick latvala said that some of the best jamming of 73 occurred in the second set, especially after Here Comes sunshine. Recommendations from the dead. But yeah the China Rider is up there. If road trips and Dick's Picks 12 chinariders are a 10 out of 10 oh, this is at least a nine. Kind of along the same lines of skeleton skaters AKA Dave's Picks 13. Sorry about the mess. Driving with Google Voice.

    warfield cd's here

    Just finished ripping in. VERY nice recording, one might even say "primo" :-). But really very nice recording. But now I just realized I don't have EXPANDED Reckoning! And so goes the search.

    Well that was a short search! Barnes & Noble had it in stock for less than the Dead site and 1/3 less than Amazon! So I got it for 30 bucks, delivered, express shipping.

    1978 shows are great if you don't expect them to sound like 1974's. 1974 shows are great if you don't expect them to sound like 1968's. 1968 shows sound great which ever way you look. As long as you aren't expecting them to sound like 1972's.

    Apart from Estimated Prophet, the other song they play with real bite in 1978 seems to be Tennessee Jed. Every version I hear from this year swings in a way it never did before. And probably never did again.

    ...I’ve really been enjoying the ‘road trip’ vol1 #4, “from Egypt with love” plus the Bonus CD, from 1978, Winterland 10/21-22/78. There’s a lot of primo performances included within this release. If anyone can give it a listen I’m pretty sure your gonna find some golden nuggets held within.
    Have a grateful day everyone, the third week of July is almost upon us deadheads & fans.😉

    Casey Jones sent me to this…

    Casey Jones sent me to this party! I’ve been meaning to get on this thread for awhile but you know...well... here I am. I finally pulled the trigger on the July 78 box set! It was easy for May 77 & PNW 73&74 to get ordered immediately, my favorite years being 73 & 77 . But man when I hear a 78 show that’s hot , goddamn it’s rollicking hot! DaP23 is nuts, the segue from drums into the other One is
    the hottest rocking spaceship 🚀 stuff I’ve ever heard!( on a side note I saw widespread at red rocks a couple weeks ago, never miss a Sunday show lol! & Speaking of rocking hot , Jimmy Herring blew my brains into the night sky ! Incredible is an understatement of that man, in a hundred years musicians will be listening to live archives of him & still be floored) , but yeah that transition literally sounds like some spaceship taking off. But 78 can also be extremely sloppy. I had to really listen to the archives before pulling the trigger, another thing was that it hadn’t sold out, thought there might be some merit to it but I think I’ll be happy with my purchase, of course I will! Listening to new haven 5/5/77 , love this tight condensed show:). Call me a glutton but I’m really 🙏ing for a 74 DaP31, why? Why the fuck not!

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.

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 :)

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.

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.
