    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*.

    Streaming is the Future

    For sure streaming is the future. Ironically, my 16 year old daughter the other day said she wanted a record player though, so go figure.

    I do iTunes personally, meaning I purchase the albums I want digitally (maybe 2 or 3 a month) and download all my GD CDs using their version of lossless. Works GRATE, using a Bose wireless speaker I play what I want from the laptop and the speaker can follow me from room to room.

    If I want something more mindless, I stream the two best public radio stations in the world, KEXP in Seattle and KXCI in Tucson using Alexa. Add to that daily NPR and about 5 podcasts I listen to every week and there is almost too much to listen to these days! It's a good time to be a deadhead.

    Agree. For what it's worth. I think dreading provided some valuable insights, actually all the comments the last two days were quite good and had valid points.

    Finished my work for the day, off for a little adventure, a mildly difficult one today, I have butterflies in my stomach just thinking about the first drop.. It's a bastard if you get it wrong. Picking some tunes.. and away I go.

    Have a great day all.. Some 69 is probably in order, either for #51, #52 or a box. They have plenty from this year to chose from and the timing is right. Man.. it is a wonderful Spring day in the mountains East.. 68 degrees, a high of 72, beautiful clarity - I can see for miles and miles and sun. Time to put away the skis. :D

    Video

    I like seeing the band at work.

    When Long Strange Trip was announced as a streaming movie I posted on this site (the previous version with the non-white background) that I would watch the movie when it came out on Blu-ray. Well, my patience paid off because I bought the Blu-ray and got a bonus disc with video that wasn’t part of the original stream.
    And I can watch the video as much as I want without paying any membership fees.

    Keep in mind that a lot of the general population who think streaming music is great are also the people who can only listen to 3-minute songs with a catchy beat and lyrics. They would never listen to a live concert, and would run away screaming with their fingers in their ears when they got about 5 minutes into a 30-minute Dark Star.

    I found it ironic after reading the comments yesterday and Sunday that Sirius would have that show on at noon yesterday. And with all the rain in CT yesterday 95 was a crawl so i got to listen to the whole show... I still get goose bumps when they break out We Bid You Goodnight.. Favorite run of shows that I saw... be good everyone bob t

    mo' video and getting yer hands on Dave's Picks

    MUATM is one way I can sit still and enjoy a show on video. No complaining from family.

    re: Dave's Picks: subscribe subscribe subscribe. That's truly the only way to guarantee a copy of each. again, to paraphrase Jim Morrison: "a la carte is dead!"

    aaaaaand, you don't have to stress, get to the site, order....

    it's all done at one time in November/December, and you have the rest of the year to enjoy the GD (and whatever else you like.)

    I have to say, this is one impassioned discussion - and I am not surprised. We are all of the sort who are a bit rabid about our music - this is a relatively rare attribute across humanity one might think, so in this regard it also makes us extra special.

    I get all sides of the discussion going on here - from people who like to have hard copies that can't be destroyed by a solar flare, to people who want nothing at all other than a slick box playing the music they love with no strings attached. Then there is everyone in between, ranging from limited access to certain technologies that could take them over a hump to others who have every imaginable setup so they can like their cake in any format and eat it too.

    In my opinion, all of it is reasonable and to each their own. Personally, I love the CDs and box sets for the "being able to hold and smell them" aspect. For a long time I was not truly understanding the draw toward streaming. But, a few Christmas's ago we were gifted a Sonos speaker, and now we have 5 of them throughout the house. And this system has grown on me TREMENDOUSLY.

    Not only can you link Sirius to Sonos (which we've done - GD radio, 24/7 baby), there are also a bazillion other channels that I've found (Spotify anyone?) where you can literally find every officially released GD show save the Dave's Pick's (I'm talking ALL Dick's picks, all of E'72, the entire Road Trips series, etc.). Furthermore, and this is the real kicker, I can also access the relisten app from Sonos, which of course mirrors the complete archive.org GD show history. So in reality, simply with sonos, I can play any GD show throughout the house (and any format of show, but of course I gravitate toward the C. Millers and Betty's) - hell I could play 5 different GD shows on each speaker if I wanted to. But then of course I have the big boy stereo, which in fact I Have two such setups in two different rooms, so I can spin CDs pretty much anywhere too. And, lately, I've been doing a bit of dipping into You Tube for some GD shows - there is a lot of stuff out there and people have put in the time to match up video (albeit grainy, yes, but I more see it as a historical time capsule) with the best audio source so the end result if fairly satisfying. And to conekid's point, I don't feel I need to be staring at the TV 100% of the time, but if something cool is happening with a tune, you at least can get a visual to go along with it. And I watch You Tube via my XBOX, which is hooked up to my 80-inch TV and big boy stereo #2 so it's not like I'm watching via a laptop with $hitty speakers and 12 inch screen.

    Regardless - the takeaway for me is that a Deadhead's listening preference is likely to be as variable as us Deadheads ourselves. And that's not a bad thing at all - if anything its a testament as to the steadfast dedication to LISTENING that will continue to exist and thus ensure this valve of awesomeness never shuts off.

    so many things

    Jim - yeah,,,, what is it with 10 per page? I usually check in the morning and today I had to back up 3 pages.

    Video - never cared for it. I too can only handle a few songs. Hard to just sit on the couch.

    8 Tracks,,,, never had one. Installed a shitload of them for people back in the early 70's when everyone wanted Led Zep 2 (in stereo) since most cars only had 6 watt mono am radios. I was the odd ball. I had a cassette recorder I got for Christmas one year, maybe I was 14. When I started driving and had my first car I routed a wire from my dash speaker to under the drivers seat. There it terminated in a 1/4" mini jack, I could plug this into my cassette recorder(mono recorder!!!!) and play tapes. This system also allowed me to turn on the radio and my wire would pump the sound to my mini jack, this I could jack into my cassette RECORDER jack are record songs off the radio. This was in 72 with my 66 Chrysler Newport!

    I am also not in favor of this rent, no own world. You can't buy Word no more (right?), now you just rent it. Don't think you can buy any of the Microsoft software anymore, only rent.

    On this streaming music front, no interest here. We seem to have every streaming service at work and someone always has some "station" on. They have a world of music available, but if you just let it play, it's the same shit everyday. The other problem (imo) with cloud storage/streaming models (plus the data cost of the downloading) is maybe today it's cheap, but a few years down the road it cost a fortune. Look at your cable bills, started off cheap-ish, now days my bill is 250 a month (cable, landline, internet) Whatever my physical media cost, I have the media. I have it backed up nine ways to Sunday (never understood that expression)

    Also in the end, I just plain collect music. I have 16 banker boxes filled with cd's, all the big box sets (dead and others). Have about 15 feet of lp's (and have started buying more, even though I don't have a turntable setup,,,stupid huh?) Got about 400 45's and about 700 78's. It's a stupid trait I have,,,,, most don't understand.

    oh yeah, on the streaming front, most of the kids I work with, don't have a tv, a stereo, internet connections, cable,,,etc. They have smart phones with unlimited data plans and use their phones for everything. How they can watch tv on those little screens is beyond me? A chunk use their game platform for internet access, for services like Netflix/hulu. Also most can spend a evening watching youtube stuff. There's a service that's gonna cost money down the road :-)

    Streaming

    As I read these posts, I come to the conclusion that I am, in some ways, "that guy." I still love having the CD in my collection, the booklets that come with it, and the music laid out together as the artist intended. I don't see technically how CD's will become obsolete, nor will the sound become degraded over time. For those of us that still enjoy putting the media in, and digging it the way the artists intended, CD's are still cool. I also love all the concert DVD's you can get now, so you can watch and listen!
    That said, I also have a large memory card in my phone, which currently has over 500 of these CD's ripped to it, so I can listen to songs, make playlists, pick and artist and shuffle, etc. Lots of ways to tunes via Blue Tooth.
    Also, I have SiriusXM in my car, so when driving I can still see whats happening on the Grateful Dead channel and others.
    In addition, I use Pandora for streaming. Here I have created my own channels so I can listen to everything from Zappa, to The Dead and other 60's stuff, to New Wave, so guitar virtuoso's. I have channels created for all of these.
    So, I am "that guy" that still buys CD's, but I'm also "this guy" that streams, uses Bluetooth from my phone, and can go for Satellite radio as the mood moves me.
    My point here, is diversify!!! There are many ways to listen to music, and I love music enough to use them all. Don't limit yourself, use the technology to expand your listening realm, but don't give up on buying CD's just because streaming is available. If you love CD's, as many of us still do, buy them, if you're streaming your way to your favorite tunes, go for it. The point is, you have many ways to access music, and if you love music, this is an awesome time to be alive! Live. Love. Laugh, Listen. Peace!!

    All good points. There are still advantages to physical product - they'll linger a long time. My wife's folks still have a VCR player and a wall full of bulky movies. But from a commercial standpoint, DVD/BlueRay's is in a death-spiral.

....let's see how long it takes Vguy to preach Cumberland.
The 3:20 to 3:50 section is unlike any I've ever heard. Someone earlier (sorry. too lazy to go back) said that Jerry twists several themes into his jams on this one. That is an understatement.
🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟's out of four.
Just when I thought I couldn't love this song any more....I bet the next nights version sucked. Never know.
Could've swapped Mason's for that Cumberland and would have been all in.

Just got some much anticipated mailbox love in the form of my latest installment subscription to Dave's Picks V 30 @ Fillmore East. Cannot wait to finish ripping this puppy to my NAS and then streaming it. Just devoured the liner notes- those used to be what I read while cleaning dope...er ... listening to side 1. Looks like my kinda Dead show, which is basically ANY Dead show. Enjoy... DigsDirt

HI All, just got my DaP 30 today, well sort of. I have all of my packages delivered to work due to some thieves in my apartment building. My copy arrived this past Friday but I was off work in early observance of Star Wars Day. So I am now home from work and I am spinning this for the first time - really. I have never heard these shows so this is the first time for me all around. Of course the sound is great so thanks to Bear and Mr. Norman. Musically, I think others have captured this well, but it is true transitional Grateful Dead, 1969 plus so to speak. Obviously this show takes place only mere 24 hours or so into the decade of the 70s but the LIve Dead psychedelic jamming is there especially with TC still being on board. But yes the shorter/newer songs are definitely getting worked on. These songs are a ways away from the that refined bar band sound of 1971 all except for Mason’ Children. Since Mason’s never evolved as it was dropped in 1970, it sounds as it should, at least to me. I haven't heard all of the discs yet, but I am favoring the jam songs and sequences a little more simply due to the shorter song in-development that was going on. Still the shorter songs aren’t bad and of course any Pigpen tune is always a treat. From what I have heard these are just a great couple of shows and I am really happy these got released.

I do think it is interesting that the touring schedule of late 1969 through a large portion of 1970 was as vast as it was as DL as mentioned. Even more so looking at the venue of the Fillmore East, after playing these shows in January 1970, the band returned again in February, May, July and September. Now I have a lot of familiarity with the February and May shows due to having the tapes and downloaded SBDs of them the prior to their official releases. Of course the standouts in those shows are not only the jams but the shorter songs are more worked out. Now this is not only true for the acoustic songs which adds something special to those shows , but it is clear the boys had more rehearsal time allbet much of it live, with the songs. Yet it is just amazing to me that they could for example unleash a monster Dark Star at the venue in January only to return at a little over a month later and unleash another one even greater magnitude. Same with with Other Ones and Lovelights. No wonder why the Fillmore East had to close, it took too many supernova Dark Stars and Other Ones in such short time it couldn’t handle anymore. If the 1972 version of the Dead got in there, they could have collapsed that place in at that point.

Finally to Mr. Mayhew - May the Four Winds Blow You Safely Home.

....Everytime Chewbacca was on screen, my son and I did one of these 😔. Saw it twice in the theatres in 1977. First time I ever saw a movie at a theater twice. I was nine. You could say it left a lasting impression. Now Disney is fucking it all up, but I digress.

I like all the new Star Wars stuff. I like that they're stretching out from the original storyline with side-movies(?).
Lightyears better than Episodes I, II & III that Lucas himself completely fucked-up. Now that shit was terrible...

I was 9 too when I saw it in the theater. What an experience. I think I saw it like 3 or 4 times. First movie I'd ever done that with too.
:O)
I am not a robot, but if I was I hope I'd be like R2D2...can robots get dosed?

Oh I don't think so.

Dennis: Hope you dig the RTR box, definitely looking forward. My favorite tour, Bootleg Series Vol. 5 was the first one I bought when I started to get into Dylan beyond the Greatest Hits.

...."You're breaking my heart." Anywho. We can argue this all day. However, I replayed the 1.2.70 China->Rider twice. Broke my heart.
You know what else breaks my heart? Monkey & The Engineer being a tune up song. Forever known now as Broken String Blues. Missed an entire verse btw. Frozen Logger anyone?
....is that a Dark Star approaching?

..and what do I notice first? Extensive liner notes by none other than regular poster Strider88. How cool is that?

Edit: For what it's worth.. there are more than a few frequent listeners and posters here that freely comment on experiences from some of these older shows.. and how cool is that. Honest, usually coherent tales and stories (...though incoherent is fine with me).. stuff from the formative years. SimonRob, Ziffle, Strider, Nappy, mhammond, Hendrix, Oroboros (and his evil twin Oroborous) and so many others.. I can't be held to task to recall them all. It's what makes this site work and what makes it worth reading.

A tip of the hat to all those that push the conversations forward.

....I love AMA's. Reddit > Facebook. Facebook is poison. Might have to take a vacation day for a CM AMA. So many questions....thanks Marye.
....tbh. I've never seen Charlie Miller's face. It was just as I expected. Not all heroes wear capes.

Talk about a shady deal.

As expected, DaP 30 has driven the E72 fest straight off the rails.

I love the this release, I'm just not sure how much yet. These things take time.

You get one of the first performances of Uncle John's Band and one of the last performances of The Eleven.

Jerry declares White Rabbit before a half hour Dark Star that features 10 minutes of Feeling Groovey => Tighten Up.

Bear captures Pigpen's audience-facing charisma like never before during Lovelight; ahhh, THAT'S what they were all talking about when they said Pigpen was the only authentic frontman they ever had. I had understood it intellectually, and you can frequently gage his high level of energy in other releases, but this recording is something that captures some of that lightning and makes it palpable.

T. C. is higher in the mix than I've ever heard him - in fact he has this solo in Easy Wind that makes you wonder what exactly it was about him that "didn't fit".

The setlist is exactly what I've been craving from this period - a nice long mix of the old and the new. A while back I posted that I was hoping for something in the vein of Dick's Picks 16. I think I got it.

First, thanks to Mary for the CM info, should be interesting, hope I remember 😉

Then: GO AVs GO!
Bastids showed up last night. Game 7 outta be a doozy for good or for ill....many excellent series this year, weird sweeps, Double OTs, several game 7s......https://www.google.com/search?q=good+old+hockey+game+song&ie=UTF-8&oe=U… .....
....sorry, gramps can’t figure out how to add link, Hockey geeks google The Good Old Hockey Game song.....
EDIT: or maybe I did!

DAVES 30; well finally received last night. Got er ripped and was able to some what check out all the 1/2 stuff, not sure when I’ll get to 1/3....so much Dead, so little time! Was hoping to go with 5/7/72 tomorrow evening but now I have to choose oy! Still trying to get over 5/4/72 Dark Star etc....Such problems 😉
Anywho, was sorta disappointed at first, perhaps too much anticipation? Yes it was a very transitional time etc, but don’t recall Dicks 16 being that sloppy....will have to revisit that one soon......and recently got DaP 19 which seemed a bit tighter? Like usual though, once I settled in and they settled in, the ole magic feeling started to come round again. And of course the more familiar psychedelic stuff was smoking. Although you could say even the TOO etc from the first show was perhaps a tad underwhelming? Meaning that suite usually kicks such ass that.....well, it was the early show and all that, and don’t get me wrong it still rocks! I’m sure the whole thing will grow on me like a weird fungus eventually...
Now the Live Dead sequence from the second show was amazing.....perhaps slightly less polished than Live Dead, but that’s nick picking.....Going to have to find more time for that disc fo sure!
Speaking of D.S.: sorry, have to ask, was misses Vguy feeling weird because of the Dark Star, or something else.....you said you waited 49 years for this......meaning that Dark Star or for her to?..........like she finally hopped on the bus and the combo of excessive G forces and Dark Star anti gravitational forces were a tab, er uh, I meant tad too much for her lol.....hope she’s all good, don’t mean to make fun of if she was not feeling well?

Keithfan, you must really have connections, or maybe you really were at Woodstock in some form or via the John Deere and made some kind of influence on the time/space continuum that caused the song to be renamed, but didn’t happen due to some kind of phase lag, until now? Dammit where’s Bolo, he’d know!

Rock on peeps and hopefully all y’all will get your discs sooner than later (and they’ll have no defects)
Haven’t heard anyone complain yet, hopefully they rectified those manufacturing idiosyncrasies?
Ok, I should go figure out how we’re going to mount this 98” TV that weighs like 270!

....likes the Dead. Doesn't love them, but likes them. Not the spacy stuff though. We were making dinner during the second disc. Then Dark Star appeared. The gave me the ole side eye and said, "Oh no Vinny. They're gonna get wierd now. Turn it off please."
Now I'm not one to argue with logic, or with her, so I stopped it. Waiting forty-nine years was in reference to the age of the show.
....she's out of the house now, so it's getting wierd. My son has a lot of her in him, so I'm sure he'll be chiming in soon.

Vguy, too funny! My wife is not really a fan, though she’s been getting into some of the later JGB stuff.
Generally she likes Jerry, but that “Bob Weird” and his weird “vocal phrasing” is definetly not a mood enhancer in our house LOL. There’s hope though as she lately has liked some of the old primal blues and hard rock stuff I.e., pigpen etc

Re Jim: yea 98” planar, only about 20K, not too bad as far as really big panels go, did a 98” Sony master series at Xmas, only $60K! but hey, some folks just have too much money. We installed one of the planers at the ritz that has quad view so you can watch four things at the same time....so you could watch Alpine 89, Winterland 74, Sunshine Daydream and say vault view 87 all at same time! Kinda like we used to listen to 2 music sources while driving ala HST back in the day.

Mine arrived today, but without a bonus disc. yes I subscribe. For those who received with Bonus, were they send in the same package? Were they attached?

First time I have ever had any issue with dead.net.

....as they always have.
First concern I've seen posted. I'm sure it will be rectified Thin. No Skipping Disc Blues yet. Knock on my head.
The Dancing In The Street is definitely dancing.

After all the great comments, I've really been looking forward to Dave's 30. Sadly, after getting within 3 hours of me yesterday, my Dave's is apparently now about 14 hours away in North Houston. Today was the estimated delivery date. Now, who knows? Anyway, several have asked about higher-res scans of the covers. If it doesn't arrive tomorrow, I'll be out of town until Monday night, but whatever, I'll have a link here as soon as I can. Now Thin's got me wondering if my Bonus CD will be there. Gonna be fine listening one of these days. A Sugar Mag precursor tease in 1/3's Dark Star? . . . Onward.

Sorry to hear you didnt get yours, but maybe a good thing. Ironically, it actually does depict Skeletons surrounding the venue, right outside where the dog ais located. I say it's ironic because of the joke made after you cheered fthat the skeletons are probably surrounding the dog just out of sight on the main cover.

no hope of my wife ever liking any of my music. ever.

I learned long ago just to keep it turned off.

TVs: TVs are the portal to the "electronic wasteland" in my book. Jeopardy! and about two other things maintain my attention. Not a TV snob, just...so little rewarding material on that box. to ME.

itching like you wouldn't believe to check out the new Daves.

"Some people like to go out dancing
And other people, they gotta work"

just a few more hours...and I'll be right home to Daves

I read this too.. the ballot initiative is to decriminalize, prohibiting the city from spending resources to impose criminal penalties.

The times they are a changing.

....aka boomers from my youth.
A fetal Sugar Mags. Is that what I heard? Couldn't put my finger on it, but yea.
Definitely some UJB stuff going on around the 21 minute mark. Baby Sugar Mags at 22:30 back into baby UJB.
So much stuff going on in the last ten minutes of this Dark Star, it's scary.

anyone else not receiving #30? email from dead says shipped 1 May, tracking info states "not available, package not at usps". Emailed cust service and get "replies may take up to two days" lol.

....to be able to pinpoint and focus on the nuances of this band. It's like I'm Professor X with my own personal Dead Cerebro! Bro.
Btw. My copy came with a lame sticker. States, "Thank you from purchasing from the Grateful Dead store. If you have any questions or issues with your order, blah, blah, blah."
Missed opportunity.

"Daves I hear you calling

Jer and the boys are playin'
but I just can't hear the sound
just a few more hours
and I'll be right home to you
I want to hear that Dark Star

Daves what can I do
Daves what can I do"

Dave's Picks arrived with unprecedented speed at my humble abode this morning. Sods law, I have been unable to devote any time to it - distractions of life- but the first few songs sound okay, and the notes in the book, by both writers are great. They seem to capture what it was like to see a Dead show and be into them, before the Deadhead culture developed. I can identify with the writers 15 years old selves, for whom following the band wouldn't have been an option-or a consideration-but who recognised something special going on straight away.

They also make reference to the fact that the first half of the show was radically different from the records they had bought prior to seeing the band. It always seems to me that it must have been quite a shock to the system, being confronted with the unreleased Working Mans Dead songs, and other songs of that ilk, if you had bought Live Dead and Anthem, which would lead you to expect full on jamming from the first note.

Anyway-Hard to Handle-I think its about to get good..
