    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.

    When two worlds collide

    Looking at the set list, this Daves 30 looks like a bridge linking the 60s to the 70s. It must have been one of T.C.s last gigs, and one of the last times the Dark Star-St. Stephen-Eleven suites featured. The disc also includes a generous helping of the more country rock style the band would focus on during the first couple of years of the new decade. More country, less psych-although epic journeys were still made, the focus was beginning to change-and this set demonstrates that quite nicely.

    Also nice to see hippychick back, lubricious as ever.

    Bonus Disc

    If I remember correctly, the bonus disc can only be made up of GD composed songs. Reason being the bonus disc is a 'gift' so to speak and Rhino is financially responsible for producing it. They don't want to pay royalties for the cover songs on a giveaway disc. I can't say I blame them. The end of disc 2 has some of the cover songs from 1/3/70 and what cover songs they are.
    Someone stated in an earlier post Dave had mentioned 'Alligator' so I'd say that's a safe bet for the bonus disc; Deadlists times it at approx. 25 minutes so there's 50-55 minutes left for other GD songs/jams. We could see some prime music from 1/3/70.

    Bonus disc guess

    Only clue given was Alligator, and they very wisely used the key covers as filler on disc 2, and the rule about originals or phblic domain leads me to think the bonus disc will look thus:
    Cumberland Blues, Alligator> Drums> Alligator> (Caution Jam tracked?) Feedback, Mason's Children, That's It For The Other One> Cosmic Charlie, Uncle John's Band> Black Peter, Dire Wolf

    Think that's around 80 min; Senor Norman cuts a lot of the inevitable tuning that is left in on Archive, so who knows how much he can cut, one of the songs may not make it. Figure UJB> Black Peter over the early show encore version, and Mason's because Dave has put out most of them, and I could see another double Mason's, for those who hate and loathe and despise it, at least it isn't a triple shot of it. And not sure if he goes with another China Rider. Would not object at all to that.

    And I wonder if Dave's mention of working with the Stanley family means this is more Bear's Sonic Journals type of release than Houseboat Tape continuation. Though, he also mentioned the Dave's that were part of that stash, 6 (2/2/70, 12/20-21/69 with bonus), 10 (12/10-11/69 with bonus), 19 (1/23-24/70). Either way, talk of talks with the Stanleys plus the returned Bettys make it a great time to be a Deadhead, and a boom time for any credit card company who gives cards to Deadheads.

    Really excited for this release!

...so back to our regular programming, this morning I decided to go to the opposite side of the spectrum of Daves Picks #30 and pulled out 10/1/94 Boston Garden, Boston, MA. I have to say I enjoyed this show far more than my last listen which was years ago. Jerry is in fine voice and guitar playing as well. The whole band is really playing Primo!!!
Then during my afternoon I listened to and Gratefuly enjoyed 10/29/77 Live at the Field House, IL another Primo show during the fall of 77’... keep on trucking my brothers & sisters, peace be with you all. 🙏❤️😎

I wouldn't even try and answer that. To me the whole run is beyond objective analysis-they are just great shows to lose yourself in. I don't play them one after the other (one), but every time I play one it works on every level. In a way, they were unencumbered by trying to change the song list every night. They just focussed on the limited repertoire, and expanded it to unlimited dimensions. I used to think of 3/1 as my favourite, simply because, if memory serves me well, it features more songs from Aoxomoxoa. But I haven't got a favourite now.

It could be said, if I can't distinguish one show from another, and don't play them one after another-why don't I just stick with 2/27, and play that one whenever the mood takes me. To which I would answer-to me this is THE classic run, and, although its an indulgence, I would love all the music played within it in the best sound quality available. I guess if you are not so disposed, the three cd set that came out a few years ago, coupled with Live Dead would be the best option.

I thought you were all peace and love? I see it in your words and your emojis all the time. Where's your compassion for the heroin addicts? First of all methadone is not necessarily free, but even if it was free to all, who are you to judge a heroin addict? You don't know what life circumstances lead them there. Maybe they saw and performed some horrific deeds while defending our country, leading them to post-traumatic stress disorder. Maybe they stumbled on heroin and it provided them relief from a waking nightmare. And you're sitting there with a cat that you say worsens your asthma condition, and then you begrudge other people who suffer from something as difficult to overcome as addiction? (and heroin is the worst kind). But it upsets you that somebody in that kind of circumstance maybe getting free relief. That doesn't smell like love to me at all that smells like judgment. You are better than that. I sympathize for you and I'm sorry you are in a tight situation, but addiction is a very real and sad situation that almost always ensnares people before they realize the gravity of their mistake. Have a heart. Ours is not to judge.

I must of wrote it the wrong way, I’m sorry... I do love addictived people, I am one of them.
I’m a recovering alcoholic. I used to be afraid of meds and so I self-medicated myself until the disease took me over. I’ve now givin up the booze for meds and take my prescribed meds accordingly... I’m in the process of earning my degree in drug addiction. My second major in college was psychology so most if not all my credits are almost keep. I’m hear if anyone needs someone to talk to. Any time my brothers & sisters! I’ve been in recovery since 2013.
My point was about the cost to treat two different individuals and two diseases🙏❤️😎
...if I upset you by any means, that was not my enttention. I’m not the greatest writer around. 🙏❤️😎
PS- does anyone remember the ‘Wharf Rat ‘ section at some of the Dead’s concerts?! They would have balloons everywhere, they were a group of deadheads that are in recovery to any drug or alcohol... I always believed that was a grateful part for some of the Grateful Dead’s fans!

....my youngest step-daughter got hooked on that stuff. Never tried it myself, and have no intention to. She was hooked on it so bad, she stole a purse from a lady in a park, just so she could get arrested and get clean in jail, which actually worked. Now she's happy, clean and had a beautiful son a year ago. Her plan was one way of doing it.

I picked the FW'69 box set a couple of years ago for a high, but not ridiculously high price, and don't regret it at all. Looking at the price of the vinyl sets of individual nights 2/27/69 and 2/28/69, I feel even better as it looks like I will have paid about the same as if I picked it up on vinyl as individual nights, assuming that the remaining two nights get released on vinyl. I haven't picked up the vinyl, both due to the cost, and since there are a limited number, it seems right to let folks who may not have the box set pick up the shows in vinyl.

I kind of view this run as DaveRock described it, THE classic run, and particularly given that the 2/27/69 Dark Star from Live Dead was one of the things that got me hooked on listening to the Dead in the first place. Picking up the box set of the full run was like scratching an itch that you weren't able to reach before. Now that these comments have got me thinking about it, probably time to give another listen to one of those shows tomorrow.

... first time I've done this, but it's been a good day :)

5. DP30 Bonus Disc - This makes the release truly special...

4. Mogwai - The Hawk is Howling - recommended by a friend, and it is OUT THERE, in a spacey/ambient/METAL kind of way... the first track is called "I'm Jim Morrison, I'm dead" and it is sounds just like that... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zV6q1w9RMGw

3. Booker T and the MGs - McLemore Avenue - their tribute to Abbey Road, recorded only months after the original album was released... Booker talks about being so blown away by how The Beatles stretching themselves musically on Abbey Road (when they didn't really have to) was inspirational, and he and the boys had to record the music. The album features Booker and the boys playing nearly all of A.R., mostly in two long medleys. If nothing else though, check out their version of "Something"... my god... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xA0A0v-oQc&t=3281s

2. Booker T and the MGs - Melting Pot - after McLermore Ave, I had to keep going, and this one beats the shit out of that flimsy-flamsy Beatles nonsense on the previous entry! MIND. BLOWN. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlai0BQarrc

1. DP13 aka Skeleton Skaters (currently listening)... is there a better first set in the Dave's collection? I'm hard pressed to name one. The China>Rider alone makes this one a standout, and it's a mid-set selection! Those 74 China>Riders are truly a cut above (probably my favorite year for them, though I love so many others...) Listening to this one nice and loud in the car on the way home tonight - proper state of mind for an intense listen - it blew me away! I got to the end of China Cat, and then restarted it again to see how they got there after JUST listening to it! Does it rival DiP12 (6/26/74)? I think it very well may :)

On the Cumberland that starts set 2 now. Oh, that Loser and Playin' that end the fist set only add to my feeling that Dave's Picks 13 (S.S.) has the best 1st set of any of the releases... and you all know what happens after a killer first set.

Beep Bloop Beep - I am a robot

EDIT: Selections 4-2 were first time listens for me today... like I said, it was a good day :)

Peace

We truly were just talking about them (again) last night at the store. I always find the amazing thing about them is how different their songs are to each. (kinda like The Hollies)

Just for shits and giggles - when Hoyt wasn't buying an awful pet for his kid, he was writing Joy to the World. If Jeremiah was such a good friend, why didn't he help with the gremlins?

I have to agree with Daverock and Charlie.. but I do wonder.. if each and every show was recorded with the care of those four nights the world would be a different place. The recordings really do make a difference.

Speaking of classic runs, you're right.. Big Rock it is..

Edit: Did someone mention DaP 13? Now that three night run should have been released as a box set.. missed opportunity.

I have to concur with your evaluation of Skeleton Skaters. I love the US Blues opener. The Candyman has a fantastic solo from Senor Garcia, and the China Cat Sunrider has always been very close to Dick's Picks 12 and Road Trips '74. Off the top of my head, the only other Dave's Picks first set that comes close is volume one, which starts off with that amazing Mississippi Half-step. Anniversary coming up tomorrow. These 2 have always been favorites of mine, but I never realized how strong that first set was on Skeleton Skaters .

Hokey Religions and Ancient Weapons are no match for a good Blaster at your side.

Edit - Jim, just saw your comment about the missed opportunity for releasing the 2/22 - 2/24 run from 1974. I can envision a box set that looks just like the Winterland 73 and 77s, of course with a slight variation on the front cover Stealie and inside group painting (maybe some white powder in there) , and the color is

Red. Winterland 1974: The Complete Recordings. For my part, I've included Here Comes Sunshine on the Skeleton Skaters release in my digital folder. The soundboard is so good you can't even tell it doesn't really belong there.

IMHO, you can’t go wrong with this $20 release price. Includes Primo music plus a great article/essay. “Don’t let go don’t let go”...🙏❤️😎

I just booted up 5/31/69 w/out looking at the set list or venue or anything - and I was delighted to hear Ken Kesey's voice from the stage , reminding me of the classic Veneta '72 show. This is the only other show I've heard him on, so I'm extra psyched and hoping there's a tent for lost kids. Rowrrrifyou don't know, you don't wannna know!

...to whoever got the FW '69 talk rolling on this thread, gave me the impetus to put 3/1/69 on to start the day.

Talk about forgetting how good a show or run of shows is, what a great show. The 3/1/69 Dark Star is fantastic, the icing on the cake to a bunch of good stuff, and the Cosmic Charlie had a kind of swinging sound that really clicked for me on this listen. I have to say that I would gladly waive any "limited edition" rights that I have as possessor of an original box in order to see this run released again on disc for all to enjoy.

Yeah it is extraordinary that they have all of this stuff available to listen to after all these years. I wonder if they have this one in the vault and better sound quality. Like Jim was saying, there's so much riding on the quality of the audio. But I found this one to be good enough to enjoy on headphones. And there is like you said always some jewels in the shows. I guess I don't need to keep it a secret, he was a friend of mine was mind blowing. The between song banter with babbs just made it all that much better.

Skulltrip, I like that Dave's Picks 16. Disc 3 is a no brainer, but I will say that those particular performances are top shelf. The playing in the band is the perfect length, I remember the vocals on eyes of the world I recorded very nicely. You know how sometimes it's hard for whomever to mix the chorus vocals just exactly perfect but it got on here. This was also the show that really made me appreciate Cumberland Blues. It is a huge kick in the balls the Garcia's guitar goes out right in the middle of the solo, but it's not out for long. What a gray fucking song that is right. I also recall Jack straw has some great Nuance type guitar work from Jerry, especially when they hit that final chorus. And you can't beat the front cover the CD case it looks like something out of Scooby-Doo. Let me know if you find any more gems on that one.

On the ride home, just listened to the Dark Star from 12/18/73. Definitely one of the better ones.

And now I think I'll shoot over to that eyes of the world we were just talking about from Scooby-Doo House. Thanks for the recommendation Skulltrip

Let's not forget that all these shows depends on how Garcia was feeling that night. He was such a perfectionist, ie:
the time at the Carousel Ballroom(Fillmore West) when after the 2nd set he pulled Phil off the 4 stair exit on stage right
onto the floor and gave him shit about how it wasn't right. Jerry's response in a later interview: "I was so wrong and so high, that when i listened to it later Phil was right" Love the Dave's Picks 30 with Ron and T.C. I think i heard Pig's Hammond B-3 with Lesley speakers in there too. Keep it up Dave!! Love the Jams of the Week too!!

1132 out of 10,000 arrived here. It does have some very nice artwork. The US Blues side of the sleeve has uncle sam shaking hands with a gun with both arms wrapped in money. The loose lucy side has lucy(?) flying/drifting over the Haight Ashbury house(?)

As usual I'm looking for if anyone else got a download site for the digital copy?

Seems the last few I've had to go searching for it. I use to get an email with a location.

Would have put this in the 45 section, but no one is there!

I think it was banter back and forth between Daverock and LMG that got the FW 1969 discussion going. I have been hankering for that vibe.. it had been too long and 1/2&3/70 brought be so close.. but not quite there.. didn't scratch that itch. I had He Was a Friend of Mine running through my head.. (funny to see KF and Stoltzfus found that one).

Stolie pointed me to Big Rock Pow Wow,, and … well.. Wow is right. Started with:

Doing That Rag>
He Was a Friend of Mine >
China Cat Sunflower>
The Eleven>
Death Don't Have No Mercy

Ended with Morning Dew for Good Measure

Wow.. so exactly perfect I ended up listening to the other discs in quick order. Itch = scratched.. thanks for the suggestion.

Charlie.. interesting read.

Got the opportunity to see String Cheese for the first time last night at the Cumberland Fairgrounds (great venue.. nice 200 foot cliffs and the mighty Potomac River enclosing the fairgrounds). I am not saying the place compares with Red Rocks.. but it very much reminds me of it. What a great band, had a very good time and lots of guest artists sitting in. (Happy Birthday Del)

He was a Friend of Mine.. such an interesting tune, I like the old Dylan and Dave Van Ronk versions too.. for what it's worth.

I think I will go back to 69 and play around for another day or so.

But first.. a late era Vegas Peggy-O.

Have a great weekend all, and for those in the states, enjoy your Memorial Day Weekend.. be kind.

Back to your regularly scheduled Drums and Space

I remember it well

The Mighty Quinn

I was in the throes of lysergia that night, my friends.

The after party was fuuuun

I gained a whole new appreciation for Bear's Choice.

Prophetic lyrics
Thats the last youll see of me
After 5 26 95, i didnt see Jerry again

But i have HEARD him.
