    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.

    All the music in the world, 90% of which I won't listen to, for 10 bucks a month sounds as good as that cable TV bill I was paying 15 bucks a month for in 1980. Was great at the time, but my cable bill is 10x the cost now, and keeps going up. Have fun with your streaming in 10 years. And besides, streaming and digital technology has killed the recording artists, and in turn, the concert scene. Piracy IS the reason the reason concert ticket sales are so high now. Artists have to make their money on the road, because there's little for them in songwriting royalties anymore. Technology killed the concert scene. What used to be a festive getaway for any who desired it is now reserved for the priveledged. And like wise Charlie said, the only CDs I buy is Limited Edition Dead CDs, and like wise KeithFan said, the fun part is opening the damn package and enjoying the artwork, the liner notes, and that great smell.

    There's no turning back from it all, but make no mistake, we're being tethered and robbed in the long con. Enjoy your financial bondage.

    Interesting Discussion

    First.. why only ten comments per page? You blink or take a day hike and you have scroll back 10 pages to get the pulse of what's going on.

    Second.. 8-Tracks always sucked... well, they were ok for the first ten plays but on the 11th play your car or portable 8-Track player would get hungry and inevitably eat your tape. Then you realized you had to buy a really nice, expensive deck so it wouldn't eat your tapes.. you'd then get 37 listens before it got hungry and ate your tape and be out an extra $350 for a new high-end, but still shitty deck. If you were skilled.. you could somehow pull it out, bend and tuck all that extra tape back into the 8-Track cassette, but every time that part of the album came on it would sllllloooowwww dooowwwwnn where it was stretched.. then skip 10 seconds where you had to cut and splice it back together with scotch tape, etc. There is no comparing any media to 8-Tracks because they sucked that bad. As soon as my first tape was eaten, I loathed them and could not wait for a better technology. They were the first media you could play in a car, once another arrived they were gone like the dodo. Plus, album art or liner notes, forget about it. Comparing any of this to 8-tracks is like wondering why no one drives Edsels anymore.

    As for streaming.. I find it just doesnt work well for dead music. I mean, what band has 2,318 albums? Amazon Alexa, for example, has a ton of concerts on their service.. but asking 'her' for one and having 'her' return and play the show you like is next to impossible. "Alexa, Play Grateful Dead Cornell University, 5/8/77" (which is in there) and you get "mmm I can't find that, here's Donnie and Marie Paper Roses 1977 instead", said in the most polite, androgynous voice possible.

    Streaming just becomes difficult for a band with so many [albums] or shows, whatever. If it was quicker/easier to find exactly what I want, I would stream more. Perhaps tomorrow this will get better.

    Who knows. I think for deadheads, who seem to have an almost unquenchable thirst for good music.. they will stream for the convenience and buy Dave's Picks and perhaps a box set a year, so why would Rhino walk away from that extra revenue stream of the new releases from the vault? In fact, their revenue is increasing, they are not going to pull the plug just yet. Streaming is for what has already been released and all the other music you listen to, but vault releases will likely continue to be released on physical media as a niche product. ..then in a few years it will wind up on the streaming platforms.

    My two cents and I could be wrong.. I see GD listeners as being perhaps streamers and I'm going to get Dave's Picks too because I want it and it makes me happy and I want it now.

    Oh.. and Charlie3, I totally get why you live where you live and it being worth the sacrafice of being plugged in all the time. An amazing part of the world.. beautiful and lots to do. Nothing wrong with cities, but you are in big sky country, I'd take it for 15 (slow) gigs a month or whatever the limit is and speed is. Perhaps 5G will change some of this.

    So anyway.. this could be the year of the Ark. Makes sense, doesn't it. Bolo, bolo, bolo. There, said it three times.

    Pointless progress

    There have been so many changes in format since I bought my first L.P in 1971. The move to cassettes, on to cds, on to digitally remastered cds-circa 1995, onto new digitally remastered cds this century using the latest technology. And now streaming. I am not sure what progress has been made, really. A lot of it seems, now-with the benefit of hindsight-to be a marketing ploy.
    The move from having videos, onto dvds onto blu ray seems to me to have marked progress-but a lot of improvements to consumer items is surely designed to create profit-not to improve quality.

    I too prefer hardcopy CD's. As far as I know Cd's cannot loose their data in the event of electro magnetic pulse event,
    solar event etc.

    I also preorder Dave's Picks Subscription every year for $99. Not try something stupid like try to cancel 1/2 my placed order. Just sell the extra at cost.

    The answer to the recurrent question of "how could I have purchased a copy of this release before it sold out?" is to SUBSCRIBE. Don't chase each Dave's Pick, subscribe and trick them into showing up at your door.

    I get what you are saying, and you may be right about the expense issue to some extent, but let me expand on a couple of my points.

    My total data for the month through my internet provider is 15GB. For the month. I burn through that in two weeks just reading news and for work purposes. I would be seriously limited in my ability to stream or download music, let alone video, and would have to ration my listening time. That has no appeal. My phone service is also a plan with limited data, so that really doesn't change the picture. The data limitations alone mean that streaming is not really an option unless I jump up to a substantially more expensive data plan, and then pay for the streaming service on top of that. Your calculation assumes that there is no cost to data or internet access, but that is not the case for me. I would have the streaming cost, plus the cost of the additional data needed to make it worthwhile. I get this is an issue related to my geographic location, but I really like my geographic location with it's low population density and spectacular scenery. I have limited data access, but the one of the largest roadless area in the lower 48, the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness, is just across the valley, with hiking trails in every just about every drainage up and down the Bitterroot Valley and an abundance of other nearby wilderness areas in just about every direction. I am getting by without the extra data.

    As far as cost, most of what I buy at this point is limited edition dead releases, including Dave's Picks and the annual box set, that won't be available on a streaming service, so I will be stuck paying for that on disc whether or not I stream everything else. If I buy something on disc this month and go broke with unexpected expenses next month, I can listen to the music I already own without spending a dime, but with streaming I am committed to paying the monthly fee forever or I would not be able to listen to any of "my music". I would be paying for the same music month after month, most of which I already own on disc at this point. Which brings me to sunk costs. I already have a decent number of discs, since I haven't counted in a while I'll estimate about a few hundred, maybe close to a thousand. At this point I can listen to them without paying a dime, and since they represent the things that I am most likely to listen to, I would be paying to stream a lot of music that I already own on disc and can listen to for free. And to be honest, the whole streaming thing triggers some kind of atavistic luddite response for me, and I make no claim that this is necessarily a response that will seem logical to others.

    Bottom line, if you dig streaming, go for it, the future looks bright for you. If you're one of those folks who dig vinyl, good timing, it seems to have made a comeback. For me, I foresee CD's being the source of my music for the foreseeable future.

    I would love to experience…

    I would love to experience Dave's Picks 30, but unfortunately, due to a ridiculous purchase process, I lost out. Won't go into gory details, but I got no help trying to deal with a problem (mistakenly ordered two cd's and tried to cancel one). Supposedly couldn't delete one unless I emailed a request. I did not get a response until 5 days later, and now the cd is sold out.

    Because of this, and the fact that there is such a ridiculously low number of cd's released, making it virtually impossible to purchase a cd, I will not purchase anything from Deadnet again.

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!

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....
