    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.

    Glad you understood and more so glad you’ve had the pleasure of all those awesome DSs....
    Dont feel bad, I don’t know them all yet well enough to discern one from another either.
    Frankly, I don’t know how all these guys have time 😉 I can usually tell what year something is, possibly even which tour, but unless I’ve spent a lot of time with a individual show, or there’s some obvious tell, I can’t id them like that.

    I don't think you sound offensive at all...I know what you are saying about each Dark Star/Other One being unique...it'd be more difficult for a 20-30 minute, basically free-form song to sound the same each time...and I've heard the entire tour multiple times and there's no way I could listen to a random Dark Star from that tour and say, "oh, thats the one from Lille..." or something like that. But I might be able to tell the difference between a 72 Dark Star and 73 Dark Star...on a good day.

    With the Seinfeld raincoat reference, I was reminded of the lone Grateful Dead reference in a Seinfeld episode. It is tough to make out, but visible to a discerning eye. In the airport pickup episode (George has to pick up Jerry and Elaine at the airport and gets rerouted twice between JFK and La Guardia), Kramer drives and there is a brief shot where the hood is slightly visible and there is clearly a Steal Your Face painted across the hood of Kramer's car. My theory is that Kramer likely wasn't a Deadhead, but picked up the car on the cheap...

    Couldn't care less about story, dialogue, character development, plot points. Just give me the classic four behemoths battling it out for two hours and my inner child will smile, smile, smile.

    And I love that they've made Mothra into an absolute badass, dive-bombing through the sky ninja-style.

    Also in this episode was a take on Sing Me Back Home...not sure who was singing it but it was not a GD version. Merle Haggard would be the best guess, I suppose!

    Roger that Mr. Daltrey but will definitely keep this head out of the front row 😊 won’t get fooled again...edibles don’t cut it for me unless they are fungal in nature.

    You tube channel - Dave mentioned subscribing which I did but he also mentioned getting notifications? Does anyone know how to do that?

    Looking forward to the box set...think it will be 80s!

    Make it a Grate weekend Dead People!

    Re: MUSTIN321, Da Bloody Who, and Box sizes

    Buenos Dias Rockeros! Happy Friday.

    MUSTIN321; I can relate to your feelings on E72. When that came out my thoughts were “that’s a lot of scratch for much of the same thing”. I had sorta taken a step back from the comprehensive Dead scene, so spending large chunks on yet more Dead didn’t make sense then......but then I turned into a total Dark Star Freak. Yea, the longer, bigger, and weirder the better! So like you I started to buy the E72 shows ala carte, but unfortunately they sold out. So now I’ve been pissed at my self for not grabbing them all while I could.......not trying to contradict you, just throwing out the idea that those Dark Stars, and Other ones etc, are all very unique and you may want to check them out. I can totally understand not worrying 100% about the rest....so much Dead, so little tile etc.....but you oughta try and check out those monster Jams....”Primo” as our amigo Love My Girl would say! Hopefully this isn’t offensive or didn’t come out wrong, just hoping I can spare others the same grief, and personally, nothing transports me these days like getting my space suit on and firing up a monster DS!

    The Who. Like the Stones, always had sort of a love/hate thing going on...love the amazing music they produced, live sort of hit or miss, but both could be sorta douchey sometimes. The Who particularly turned me off with all their retirement/comeback cash ins, and Pete can be a pompous ass. But fortunately I try and appreciate artists, professionals, even politicians somewhat for what they do at work and not their personal BS. You know “judge yee not....” etc. So that being said, they are still pretty dam good, especially by today’s standards. Too me it’s worth checking them out just for Zac if nothing else. Dude is awesome and can total bring that Moon shit like no other, amazing! And of course Pino’s pedigree speaks for itself. Pete’s Pete, and Daltry’s hanging in there considering his physical issues. If he asked nice, and someone was a douche, then yea, he should tell em to “bugger off mate”
    Besides, if your going through all the motions to go see someone you really dig, wouldn’t you want to get the best performance possible?

    BOX SIZES; you would think at this point they would mostly hit that 3-6 show mark, because besides those Fall 80s shows what else could they really gather enough quality material for a large box. As Jim said you have to wonder if there adding, well not filler, as we appreciate all the shows in some way or another,...like little blessings from the Tape Gods...but some folks even spoke of this with the PNW box last year i.e., that perhaps some of the shows were not equal to others in the box....of course we picky Heads always want the best and have high standards, but it has to be somewhat challenging to overcome all the different variables to produce the actual final product. So to produce a great box with a different theme ala PNW, yea, they might have to slip a B+ or A- show in there sometimes....how many tours were totally A+ consistent throughout? E72, spring 90, Fall/Winter 73, spring/summer 77 and ??
    Like it or not, we do live in a capitalist society, and Rhino isn’t doing all that work just to feed our Jones. So marketability has to factor in too. That’s why I don’t see the whole enchilada happening with the Fall 80 stuff....perhaps a 2 or 3 part over time like they did with spring 90? (If the tapes exist?)
    So it does seem like when you consider all that, that the 3-6 show sweet spot is probably best, and more affordable, especially if/when they get into the later stuff as that was their touring MO.; i.e., 3 show runs. Can you imagine say releasing only two of a three or four night run. For sure some folks would be bummed because the one show they skipped was their personal...(fill in the blank)....hell just consider how some of us felt about which late 71 shows, or the Berkeley 72 shows were picked or not for Dave’s? The bottom line is we’re spolied rotten and though the process may not be perfect, the stuff we get is all pretty dam sweet! I just wish they’d stop the limited addition stuff so folks who can’t pull the trigger for what ever reason can perhaps score stuff later, wether still retail/new or on the secondary market. The PTB don’t seem to have any problems with the pre-sale methodology like the 50th anniversary stuff. So don’t see why they couldn’t do that with boxes. You would think after all these years they have a pretty good idea of how certain things will sell. So set a target number, roll out the pre-sales, then redial in your actual production runs accordingly? Sorry to ramble, just a thought....

    Be well Dead people and have a great weekend!

    After years of being told it was a great show, I finally started watching it this spring. Paul Giamatti is fantastic. I got through about four episodes and gave up. A little too unrealistic for me and I just had a hard time buying into the plot line. I prefer Silicon Valley. To me it is far more realistic and cutting edge. Very sarcastic and funny as hell. At least until T.J. Miller left the show. A ton of quick barbs. "Our platform does exactly what it says it does. It's not like we're fucking lying, like Theranos."

    The Who is still touring? Can't be. I saw them on their farewell tour back in 1982. Two days after my first Dead show. That was a good weekend.

    I'll give a nod to a Carrier Dome release. At least we could finally hear the AJS from 84 in its full glory. Given a choice though, I would take the summer 85. 6/27 - 7/1. More varied set lists and some rare songs. Down at the Bottom, Superstitious, Keep on Growin, Cryptical, etc. I'm doing this from memory, so I am sure there are more.

    Oro is correct. Saratoga was always a blast. We were at 84 and it rained like hell. The rain continued straight through to the 85 show. It rained in 88 too. Something about that place attracts bad weather. We were fortunate enough to get inside the pavilion. 6/30 gets all the love, but 6/27 was my favorite of the tour. High energy, a long first set and a unique second set. Double encore too if I recall.

    A long, long drive through the night to Hershey. Rain, construction and more rain. Why is it that the highways in PA are perpetually under repair? It has been that way my whole life. Another soaker in Hershey. I know a lot of folks like this show. I don't, but will take it as part of a box. The skies finally parted in MD. Two great shows to end our tour. The more I look back upon it, in my opinion, it was the last great summer tour.

    Good catch on the Casey Jones played on Billions. But the truly insane part of that episode that would have made KeithFan2112's head explode was when they played the intro to 2112 during the spin class. I feel quite confident that is the first time that has ever happened and am also quite sure Rush never thought that particular piece of music would ever hit a popular tv show. Tom Sawyer, maybe, but 2112? Madness!!!

    Good morning and happy Friday Heads! May is truly a glorious time for deadheads! There are so many excellent shows played in May over the years...It has been hard for me to stay on top of the listening to May shows in chronological order. Right now I'm enjoying a show from last years box set played in Vancouver on this day in 1974. While I eagerly amount the announcement for the upcoming box set, I would be lying to say I am not in over my head. What are your thoughts on the PNW 73/74 box? There was never much discussion on these shows. Enjoy the day and weekend ahead.

    Excellent rebuttal of criticism regarding Daltrey and smoke. Nothing against weed, but if the man feels it diminishes his performance, be polite and stop or go somewhere to toke up. I missed Keith Moon but I've seen them with Entwistle, the finest bassist I ever saw perform live.

    Today's Who is outstanding, actually... Ringo's son, Zak Starkey flies around the kit like Moon and Pino Palladino capably fills Entwistle's shoes. After all these years Pete has become a fine rock guitarist. They're trying to sneak in a new song or two but the set list generally kills.

    After the Stones come through town, I'm taking my 8 year old son to see The Who. He's seeing The Who and The Rolling Stones in the same summer. Lucky kid.

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 decided to ease the wait with 10/19/73 Oklahoma city show. Have a good weekend everyone and enjoy the new release... Bob t

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.

5 Stars.... Dont want to ruin it for anyone, but (spoiler alert) Your gonna Love this (these) release(s)!
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....
