    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*.

    What Charlie said, well done.
    Doing anything everyday is probably not good for you, whatever it is! Yin/yang etc., Balance is the key to life. Compounded over many years/decades will most likely lead to health issues, or worse.
    Also, everybody is different, and so every substance wether asprin or whatever, can effect people differently. That is one reason why I feel the methodology employed by law enforcement to determine a persons ability drive is unconstitutional........I’m not for a minute suggesting that there is no regulation needed there, only that the current methods are not right!
    We old timers talk crazy about the old days, but it’s a much different world now. “Law come to get ya when you don’t walk right”....So have fun, but get to know your body, know what your taking, be safe, and more importantly be responsible!

    This public service announcement brought to you by old burned out freaks, convicts, recoverers and others who’ve been there. 😉

    I recall in a toxicology class learning that the poison is in the dose - in other words most things can become toxic if taken to excess. Don't believe me? Google what can happen if you drink too much water at one time. Spoiler alert, it can kill you. Minas is correct to the extent that excessive use of psychedelics can cause some crispiness to ensue, however, moderate use did not seem to have the same impact, and use of other substances may complicate the issue. There was a period where I was probably tripping a couple times a week and I was crispy, although I was also high 24/7. At a frequency of dosing approximately once per week I was not crispy and did pretty well in my calculus class, a good indicator that I had not suffered any real damage. After regular consumption, lets say an average of once per week for a period of several years, my scores on standardized testing for post-bachelor degree education still came out in the top 1-2%, again, support that no real damage was done.

    With regard to the treatment of depression and anxiety and the administration of psychedelics, mushrooms or ketamine for example, the dosing regimen that I have seen involve administration of a low dose, talk therapy for a couple weeks followed by administration of a higher dose of the psychedelic. That's it, two doses, and the depression and anxiety is alleviated for months or longer. Unlike cocaine's effect on depression, which is to briefly alleviate and then exacerbate it, the impact of psychedelics is persistent from one or two doses. How many Xanax do you have to take in that time? Also, Xanax is no joke, it is a benzodiazepine with some serious potential side effects, including negative impacts on cognitive abilities, the fact that you are physically dependent after a period of use and will have severe side effects if use is suddenly stopped. It is not innocuous.

    Use what works for you at a frequency that works for you, but be aware that whatever you are using can probably be overdone. Sorry to ramble, but I could talk about psychedelics and the current research all day.

    I don't care what the next box is I'm looking forward to it. It'll have cool packaging and be old (new) live Dead music that I don't already have... what's not to love.

    I've done as many drugs as anyone here. I'm sure of it. Not that it's a contest, but I used to live for that shit. Now, I can say without doubt that the best one can ever feel is fresh out of bed early in the morning, or just after exercise. But to each his own... just don't get lost out there. Peace everyone.

    My two cents

    To say that psychedelic use is a great cure for depression it's kind of like saying cocaine is a great cure for depression. I'm never depressed after a line of coke!

    I have two friends who microdose acid everyday to help deal with anxiety. Buddy one, he says it helps, and I'm not saying lithium makes people any more coherent than psychedelics, but he is a completely different person now. I think he's actually become manic. And very forgetful. He told me twice in the same 3 hour get together that he had begun micro dosing. He completely forgot that he told me the first time and started the story fresh about two hours into a poker game. The other day he texted that his car was stolen so I called him to make him feel better and to hear his story. We spoke about it for 15 minutes. The very next day he texted me that I was never going to believe it but his car got stolen. The manic part I spoke of his that he just comes up with these crazy ideas that he gets fixated on and goes on and on in a nonlinear fashion about it. Like an invention to replace windshield wipers. LOL he is a dear friend but he is greatly changed. When he was on real depression medicine he did very well but complained that it made him tired and required a nap in the day. This all transpired in the last year. He was on the Xanax for 6 months and now he's been microdosing instead for 6 months. I miss Xanax guy.

    Special message to Hendrix freak. I am not at all criticizing you or your use of recreational psychedelics. I trip once or twice a year, or at least did before I had an accident last year. I like tripping. I just don't think that it can be used everyday without changing a person. And I am not saying that it has changed you for the worst. I don't even know you so it would be ridiculous for me to make any kind of judgment like that. I just want you to know that my comments above relate to my buddy. A case study if you will.

    Then there is his partner in crime, buddy number two. We now refer to him as mr. Paranoia. I think he's a little bit beyond the micro part of microdosing. He's not even depressed. He just likes to do drugs. He has run his business into the ground so badly his wife came to me for advice. Just to give you some perspective she hates me. She's the kind of gal who believes if you criticise women you're a misogynist. So for example, I once mentioned that my girlfriend and I had a funny miscommunication due to her inability to write neatly. I literally went to the wrong airport because I couldn't make out what she wrote. She admits this freely and blames the constant use of typing on electronic devices as the reason her writing looks like spaghetti now. Buddy number two's wife laid into me about that story. The point is that these drugs they are doing on a daily basis I really turning their brains into mush. They both have families and children and I think the more responsibility you have the easier it is to get carried away on this stuff. Sure it sounds like there's an article that supports they use for fighting depression. I don't know what that authors political slant is. I don't know what the studies political slant is. Maybe they're talking it up or maybe in some severe cases of depression it's better than nothing.

    Sorry for the long post. Haven't used just about every kind of drug under the sun, I am well aware of the flipside dangers to mind and health. When I was using regularly I made excuses for it and quoted the first study I could Google that seemed to support my habit. Looking back I know that all of the recreational drugs harm us if used daily. Cocaine, marijuana, shrooms and acid, opioids, etc. I believe most of us recreational users who begin using recreationally everyday kind of hide behind the label of recreation and cringe at the word addiction.

    I tried changing my username to Minas Ithil but had technical issues. Minas Ithil was the White Tower before it was taken over by evil forces, becoming the Fortress of the witch King and being renamed Minas Morgul. A man with a dark streak always has a dark streak, at best he can shine enough light to keep the dog at Bay. You want to talk about a trip? Try fading in and out of fevered consciousness for a couple of days with no way to get help or even move your body without pain you never thought yourself capable of having. The thing about trauma and being close to death is that the cover of protection that you put up around your psyche to get through the days is lifted forever. You start to see things as they really are and not how your psyche wants them to be.

    Ongoing psychedelic drug use

    Very interesting that there seems to haver been a lot more research done with psychedelic drugs over the last five years or so - and that the results seem to be so positive. Earlier this week, in one of the main national newspapers-The Guardian-there was a double page centre spread on how tests with psilocybin suggested that it was possibly the best antidote to depression yet identified.

    This was definitely my experience. Between 1987 and 1993, I found myself living in a flat surrounded by fields in which mushrooms grew between September and November. Consequently, during those years, I would trip once a week, maybe into December, and then nothing until the same season the following year. They were great years on every level, far and away better than the preceding ones had been. I always took them on my own, and then joined friends later in the evening. It all came to an end when I got a professional qualification in 1993, and had to leave the area to take up my new job. Which is where I still live. I never bothered looking for them here, although I was tempted to at first. In any case, it felt inappropriate, given the new role I had taken on. I haven't taken them since 1993, and although I no longer feel tempted to, I have no regrets whatsoever about taking them at that time.

    As ever, the biggest risk with illegal drugs, as I understand it, is rooted, in their illegality. With acid, in my late teens and twenties, the massive contrast in potency-and in what was actually being sold as "acid" seemed to vary wildly. It felt a bit like Russian Roulette, to me. So I am not so chipper about all that.

    The discussion of tequila reminds me of my drinking days in college. One night I was drinking with a couple girls and one other guy. We were drinking Jose Cuervo, with the worm in the bottle. The idea was that whoever got the shot with the worm in it had to consume it. By the time we got close to the bottom, we were all pretty sloshed. And when the girl who poured the shot with the worm falling into it saw that thing, we all roared and she shrieked, “I’m not tucking that fouching worm!” True story.

KF - I couldn't understand why you were being so smug to me. I re-read my post and realized why. I came off kind of harsh on you. Was not my intention but it just didn't translate well. I'm sorry man. No hard feelings. I like you you're one of the ones who entertains us. If yours doesn't come today let me know I'll get you a copy of mine. Because I know you are a subscriber.

I've just finished the ripping to WAV, file tagging, cheap art-working, and phone uploading of DaP 30. Takes f@#king forever. Now I shall listen - but first - here is preliminary album art. I say preliminary because these are cheapies that I sourced from a very close up camera-phone picture, followed by some MS Paint cropping. I have no scanner. If you just can't wait for the premium scans from our good friend Agent Smith, try these on for size. I know I will be replacing these as soon as I have "the real deal" from you-know-who.

Most of his list has now been released either through Dave's Picks or 30 Trips, and of course Sunshine Daydream, but I'll still choose 11/17/71 over 12/14. He may have known 11/17, may not, but 12/14 and 12/15 are certainly more famous shows. I had heard both multiple times prior to DaP 26, preferring 12/15 for its Dark Star (just listened to it again, and that was a quick 20 min). I admit being a SBD snob, so I had overlooked 11/17. But I'd have to say since a year ago, it has been the most played Pick of the last 4 years for me. That Other One with its several different thematic jams is unbelievable and the NFA> GDTRFB> NFA is my favorite of that combo. It's better than the 11/15 Austin one from the Road Trips series, IMO. But either way, Mr. Paumgarten should be happy because he got that show minus Ramble on Rose (interestingly the 11/17 on Archive has Ramble on Rose listed as the encore, but it's tracked as the Set 2 opener on DaP 26, hadn't noticed that before). Though I do wonder whether he would revise that opinion and say that 11/17 was better. I don't recall listening to his 1970 Pick 6/24, but the later run at the Capitol with 11/8/70 only available in AUD is a stunner, and I would bet on that 6/24 being awfully good as well. Something about that theater.

Nick should do a follow up on how 7 years later most of those shows are released, and how he thinks the vault releases have been managed. There's been stuff put out that nobody really had like 7/1/78 (that I actually prefer to the Red Rocks shows), the complete 8/25/72, 2/2/70, Thelma 12/10-11/69, and he ignores 1967-68, which means he misses 11/10/67. It's been a great 8 years of releases! Wonder what he would think of DaP 30... And what do those who have received it think? Fingers crossed it's here tomorrow.

Great to have my DAP 30 so soon, I agree Tom is very prominent in the mix and the shows are well mixed, I am not upset about the track running orders, as I feel we are lucky to get the 2 shows over 4 discs, this arrival today meant however that I didn't get my anniversary listening of the Olympia show, we are spoilt bunch really.

Anybody else get a shipping notice with a dead tracking number? I called yesterday after trying to track and the girl said it wouldn't be active until today because May 3rd was the release date. Today my tracking number just says unrecognized.

edit: another day and still nothing. Anyone know what 237 carrier is for a shipper? Mine doesn't say USPS or UPS like the last shipments have.

Ostrich. 18 Minute Las Vegas Bird Song from 91? Virginia City is not in Virginia.

I think I am going to have to run this through Googles Quantum Computer or I will be up all night again....

....but usually I can just click the tracking number link on my email and it takes me right to the mailing site. No link this time. Need to copy and paste. No luck on either UPS or USPS sites. Says invalid tracking number. Wierd. And the Hurricanes sweep the Islanders to go to the final four. Amazing....
....and yes. Virginia City is just south of Reno. That was a Bird Song with Carlos Santana sitting in. Please don't tease me. And Vegas does get flaming hot....

I was listening today. First several are hotter than I remembered. Also prefer 11/17. That 12/15 Dark Star is a nice freebie. As in sounds great freebie. 11/17 to me is in the same class as Road Trips 3.2 11/15/71. The 11/14 Bonus is in the same class. Exceptional run.

It's just classic...not just the timing (Workingman's) but the recording captures great banter that really puts you front row, or stageside, for two hot NYC shows.
Thanks Bear!...per the booklet write up (the Foundation)... Bear, you will never be forgotten or not appreciated. I look fwd to all of your precious recordings from every artist that allows them to be released.
Thanks to you too Dave & Co for this (these!) gems!

My shipping mail had a (clickable) link. UPS states "Clearance in progress" at 03:58 EST this morning. Presumably it is about to wing it's way across the pond.

Edit: Now it turns out that the clearance referred to is prior to departure from Cologne, Germany so it has already crossed the pond and it may well be delivered to me in the Netherlands on Monday. Certainly is quicker than expected.

Here’s my own ( limited brain power ) thoughts - looking back at previous record day store releases ( with the exception of wake up to find out - which had already been put on cd for one of the spring 90 boxes ) they have only ever been released on vinyl with no further output later in the year as a box . However the Warfield release has been given an immediate mass produced CD release along the same lines as Cornell ( pre get shown the light ) & believe it if you need it ( pre PNW ) elementary my dear Watson .
Of course I could be barking up a tree that’s in a different forest altogether . 😺😼😺😼

It was late, I hadn't ripped them yet, and I knew I was probably only going to get through one disc before I fell asleep.

Its good.

The track ordering is weird tho. Alligator - Drums - Alligator- Feedback sequence is tracks 2-5. You can hear Jerry say "Goodnite folks, thank you" at the end of it but then there's still half the disc left. If they're gonna mix up the order anyway why not put that at the end so it at least *feels* like it was one continuous set.

Nitpicks tho.

Did anyone else order the T shirt? Any word on that arriving ?

I won't speak lubricious about it but will just say this Disc 3 is great great great. God bless the Alchemist. I like the picture of the crowd at the Fillmore East. If you look closely you can see one guy holding his head with both hands. I am sure he is tripping to disc 3 in that pic. Have a great weekend to all. Enjoy your 5 hours of 1970. Does anyone know if these were in the recovered batch of tapes? If not, how did they keep this one from us so long!

bobt - I like that line of reasoning!! I think you're on it! Great shows at Alpine from start to finish. Sort of my home stomping ground, with many fond memories. The 8/7/82 China -> Rider is the best post-hiatus version - change my mind ; )

I missed the 89 shows but if I remember correctly from the account of a friend there was epic rain nights 2 and 3 and people were body sliding in the mud down the ski slope by the 3rd night? (somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.)

That 4th night of '88 that UJ61 referenced a few days ago was a wild one. A gift lost recovered. Lots of memories, though hard to say at this remove if they are all "accurate." I was about 6 rows out directly in front of Jerry. The Believe it of Not was tears-in-your-eyes emotional after the problems of the previous night. Couldn't have been a truer, more heartfelt, moment for its debut. And the Morning Dew was Over. The. Top. Pure expansive beauty. I remember 2 folks jumping on stage during the closing jam. First a guy just stood motionless right in front of Jerry, like he was watching the hand of god. A roadie walked him off and then this girl climbs up on stage and sits right down in front of Jerry - once again transfixed and enchanted. Jerry doesn't flinch, he's just tearing it up, playing for them and into them and everybody. Everything, everywhere, all at once. Sent home on the gentle waves of Blackbird and Brokedown. Wrote about all this a few years ago (gdhr 555).

Really looking forward to DaP 30 - arriving here next week I guess.

Enjoy the weekend everybody!!

The Warfield vinyl was 10,000 and the cd 6,000 I believe. They did a limited (unnumbered) cd for 11/18/72 AFTER it was released for Black Friday RSD. Those Hofheinz cds were on sale here for a good long while before they finally sold out, now they go for around 100 bucks. So, grab the 2 cd set of the Warfield for 20 bucks while you can!

They played an early and late show each night at the Fillmore East for this run, hence the goodnight being after Feedback for that set. There was an encore following that sequence, too. But Bill Graham had bands do an early and evening set at the Fillmore East. The ABB put out a complete box set of their early and late shows that produced their classic Live at Fillmore East a few years ago, they mainly repeated their sets with little changes, but they had a much smaller repertoire. Thankfully, the Dead changed up the sets completely. Hopefully people bought tickets for both shows.

The tapes are from Bear's collection/Owsley Stanley Foundation. My first assumption had been they were more from the Houseboat Tape collection, since most of the tapes given to the Godchauxs were Bear recordings from this general period, but the credit in Dave's video and the liners is the Foundation. Which is good news, because it represents another source for tapes that may be missing from the Vault, and in an exciting period.

I got an email from UPS to say that it was being delivered on Friday. Being away I changed the date but they delivered it anyway according to my neighbour who checks while I’m away! Only trouble is I have two subscriptions (one I get for a friend) and only one has turned up!

....the mailmans eta is in approx 1 hr. Tracking info still not helping. Spinning Hawaii in the meantime.
My mailbox does have a slight glow to it however. Optimism vs Pessimism. A battle as old as time.

Just listened to Dave's Picks Volume 30

Disc 3 has one of the grooviest, cooliest ,spaciest, "Dark Star" I ever heard!

Really a superb edition of Dave's Picks!

Thank You!

The UPS driver was there at my front door when getting home from work yesterday. What could be cooler than that? Well, the artwork for the bonus disc for one! To share a few thoughts that popped up last night with an initial listen of January 2:

--love the way Jerry digs and twists the melody around in his Cumberland solos

-- very nice TOO > Cosmic Charlie segue

--I never really thought of DIre Wolf as a 'folk song', but I hear now how those roots are there (I still didn't sing along though)

--Me & My Uncle has a slight spaghetti western quality to it, kinda goofy, but in a good way

--Dark Star......from deep space found myself roused into a Tighten Up samba jam which sounded like it had hints of what later would become Eyes, and much, much later, Foolish Heart, which was easily the highlight for me. Always great to make those connections that span decades!

Is it just my copy or are all the vocals coming from the right speaker. Very soft on front left side. Is it just my copy or is this throughout? do I need to get in a Bear state of mind to listen to this. Shit drives me crazy.

...it was in my P.O. Box this morning...drove back to work very very slowly...the "St. Stephen > The Eleven..." scared off all of the wildlife...

.... definitely underrated. Mailman is late. Maybe he busted it open already!
Nappy Rags. The Dead also control how my foot is applied to the gas pedal. Good to know I'm not the only one.
Fivebranch called out a nice Cumberland. Cool.
Hey Nappy!! You live in the Grand Canyon area, right? If you get on your pony and ride, you could make the Phil show. I have a spare room.

Mine DP 30 arrived today. Uploading now.

Soon, I will have an aged single malt in hand, a cool spring breeze, and the Dead playing over my yard.

As it should be.

....I wonder if he got a re-entry stamp on his wrist in the Mos Eisley cantina? The fur may pose an issue.
Apologies. I multitask....
