    Who's up for a revolutionary evolutionary ride?

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.

    Vinyl Warfield should be here today! :-) CD's tomorrow!

    Oroborous - wake up with bullfrogs on my mind? Only when I past out that time in the swamp, opened my eyes and there was Jeremih sitting on my wet head, with large swarms of mosquito buzzing around me with my body racked in pain!

    Stoltzfus - yeah, got an icon up!!! And that was the best you could do? :-)

    JiminMD - Funny you once again bring up 80's under rated because of poor recording. (Agree, I was there also) But just last night at the store I had a long mix going on when I Al Jolson came on. I thought of Jim's comments about poor recordings. I read/heard once the recordings of Jolson didn't do him justice. That he sang in a very deep voice that couldn't record well in the day, but live you could feel it!

    HF theory of the third show

    Statistically speaking there maybe credibility to your theory as only one out of what? Six “third” shows would still prove to be statistically significant lol
    Personally, I liked most of those shows....and 77-78 isn’t in my top years...Eugene, Bingotown, that 72 Baserkley etc..... Boulder was ok, at least they tried something different (the release that is) and Boise was decent if only the sound was a little better. it’s so funny how we all get moved by different shows!

    We were talking about mosquito factories....

    Just a quick off-topic remark... although, is anything truly off-topic whilst waiting for two vault release announcements? I harken back to the discussion of whether pork chops and mashed potatoes should be kept separate on one's plate...

    This past weekend, while Dead & Co. played up the street in Boulder, we planned a two-day, 35-mile pack raft trip down the Yampa, thinking we'd knock out about half the distance on two consecutive days. At the put-in, we had to inflate the rafts, strap gear to the bows of our boats, etc. It was somewhat alarming to see a public health notice that West Nile Virus had been detected in mosquitoes at that site, as we were repeatedly bitten by same. So we take off as fast as we can and within a couple miles we see four great blue herons and a flock of about fifteen white pelicans. Elk etc. We stop at the first official river campsite to see what the prospects are like. Within seconds, we was swarmed by a particularly vicious brand of mosquito; swarmed as in difficult to breathe without inhaling them. True, full-body swarms! Yikes! Suddenly, welts everywhere. We reboarded in a frikking hurry and only set foot on shore once again, late in the day, when the up-canyon wind stopped forward progress and grounded us and the mosquitoes. We shoved off the second the wind abated and, in a measure of the misery dealt by angry mosquito swarms, we paddled the entire frikking 35 miles in one day, arriving at yet another swarm at the muddy and therefore slow take-out. More welts, which we treated by inhaling a good sativa and a couple freezing cold Hamms. Okay, the welts were still there, but we felt better about them. Side note: I have tested the leading non-DEET sprays and lotions and this just in: they do nothing against the angry swarms. NOTHING! Only DEET works and one needs to re-apply frequently. Because DEET is bad for humans, this is not a solution. So I just postponed my week-long backpacking trip into the Wind River Range to see the origins of the great Green River until August, when the angry swarms are a lesser threat.

    No wonder we saw no other humans on the river that day -- or anywhere near the put-in and take-out. Still, we had a few puffs and a few Hamms while cruising down 8000 cfs on the Yampa, so in an echo of Apocalypse Now, our mantra was "don't step ashore"...

    And now, back to your regularly scheduled "what were we talking about" conversations.

    Excellent points, Alvarhanso.....

    I was too lazy to go back further than two years, so my data set was limited, perhaps leading to an erroneous theory. Ah, those old erroneous theories -- pretty much covers all my theorizing....

    Interesting that you nailed down 11-17-72 as a 3rd DaP -- as you know, I'm a freak for fall '72, so that upends my "theory." But you also mentioned your disinterest in 8-25-72; perhaps I'm alone in enjoying the hell out of that show.

    In any case, with my "theory" in tatters, I'm just fixated on timing now. DaP 31 news seems destined to drop sooner than the box set.

    To be clear, the past pattern has been an initial announcement of the box's musical contents, then the "reveal" of the physical product during MUATM. Dave did say a while back that they'd be "shouting from the rooftops soon" on the box... so I assumed that meant the usual one-two, content announcement, then physical product "reveal."

    Hell, if the box news is held til MUATM, which I plan to attend (saw the Soldier Field show a few days later, my only Hornsby show) , that's only 23 days away. And I'm a bit ambivalent. If it's not an era that interests me, I save some $$ and simply dive back into the riches that already line my CD shelves. Typically I listen to a show, then shelve it, so that it remains a wonderful discovery on a much-delayed second listen.

    Pulled 7-7-78 last night and enjoyed re-living the first set. We tripped all day and looned out on a lot of people, then when the heat of the day had passed we were crispy as hell and the purple stage lights came on and they played a Jack Straw / Candyman opener. After getting too close to the stage at past GD shows -- that incessant hum of lysergically elevated minds, or was it the amps? -- by 76, 77, 78 we would "take a step back" and enjoy from what seemed like a prudent distance. On 7-8-78, my buddy Peter nudged me during the Other One and pointed out that the entire first three rows had emptied to dance in front of the stage. (Naturally, they don't allow that anymore.) So we scampered down and hung out in the first row for the rest of the set. Those were the days, eh?

    I do stand by my call on DaP 31 as a '79 show. Soon to be proven wrong, once again, my friends.

    The list of dislikes was so long, but everyone has their favorites. 25 is a hot show in my book and their best November 77 release to my ears. Love the opening half step and the whole first set. And yes, that Scarlet Fire is different, but the rest of show is great. I also really like the Colgate show was well, with the bonus third disc. Dave's 4 and Dave's 28 from 76 are both solid shows from 76, with great should quality, but I have not yet listened to a show from 76 that I did not like. Most of the 76 shows were recorded by Betty except the falls shows when she was gone for a while after Rex's accident. I also think Dave's 24 is a fantastic sounding fall 72 show, different, but solid. And I agree, the 81 Boulder show was not the best. I did give it a full listen when it came out, but it does not get much play. And don't forget Boise!

    Dave's 31? Still think we may get our first 79 release.

    Enjoy the Dead you love, there is a ton of great shows out there.

    It's strange

    Comments were made about the extra bass that Jeffrey Norman added to the Berkeley Dave's Picks. That absolutely drove me nuts when it came out and for almost ever after. Then I found a setting on my digital player that expands the stereo separation, and in doing so seems to filter out that extra bass. Go figure. So now I like it. Fantastic Other One. The whole thing rather compliments Veneta well. "would somebody turn these monitors up? For fuck sake," probably my favorite Bobby line.

    I'm listening to Dick's Picks 18 this morning, Playing in the Band particularly. A 24-minute version precedes what is in my humble opinion the all-time best Wheel they ever played. The Wolf intro is worth the price of admission alone; but Keith does a fantastic job with the Wheel chords softly playing in the background. Definitely a passage best accompanied by a parking lot balloon.

    But the real story I came to tell is about the Playing in the Band. I don't think I've listened to this more than a few times, all ways too eager to get straight to the Wheel. The first 15 minutes or so is as good as two-drummer Playing gets.

    Brokedown Palace may be my favorite Dead ballad. Those two E72 versions with Pigpen on the Hammond......

    Anyone going to stand up for DaP 25?

    I have listened to this one several times since it was released and it is even better overall than I remember from my tapes. It is a show I go back to quite often. Jerry definitely redeems himself after that botch during Scarlet Begonias. Just have to see it through into the Jams.

    I am into Eugene as well. Boulder? Not so much. Dave could have done better for his first dip into '81.

Delfest; heard it’s a great place/vibe.....sorta reminds me of Rocky Grass only more green then Red!
Did you see Del? Man I love those guys, especially the boys when they let loose on their own....
Had the pleasure of opening for them in 2007, and they always used to eat breakfast at the place we go to during Rocky Grass. They are even nicer in person. Can’t say enough good about them. Great people, and legendary musicians! Folks, If you’ve never seen them you might want to check then out?

The last time, did you have any kind of inkling that it might be the last time?
I believe Vguy said he totally felt something, and we knew something was going to happen. I think our group consensus at Chicago was either he’s going to die, or more probably he’s gonna end up back in the hospital.
The vibe was so heavy everyone of us felt something had to give....sigh. Can’t believe how much I miss the good old vibrant Fat Man, perhaps even more so even after all these years! Hopefully he finally fond peace!

.....i sure did! In fact, on the morning of August 9th, 1995, I woke up suddenly at 3 o'clock in the morning with a sense of dread. Over the following days, I learned that my touring buddies throughout the years also woke up at that time with the same feeling. I do not believe in coincidences....

For the same ALAC download for Pacific Northwest ’73-’74: The Complete Recordings Boxed Set it worked perfectly in iTunes. Why does this download now import correctly? Thanks if anyone knows or can help.

Hokey Religions & Ancient Weapons 5/25/77. Anniversary of the birth of Dave's Picks.

This show was already $350 on eBay when I really went over the Dead Edge in 2014. After hearing about its legendary status and seeing its legendary price tag, I tried in earnest to find a copy. I already had both the May and June 1977 box sets, plus Hartford 5/28. But people here there and everywhere spoke of it like Cornell #2 (except it was IN the Vault), and I didn't know anyone on here at the time, and had no clue about archive.org; so I finally asked a guy selling a used copy on eBay if he'd burn me a copy for 35 bucks. He accepted my money.

I was still cherry picking tunes in those days, and had reams of new Grateful Dead music I had purchased from deadnet and eBay, but I listened to this show from the Mosque all the way through. I thought it was every bit as good as advertised. First time hearing Mississippi Half-Step, as I had always skipped over it on the releases I had. Not sure why. But I loved it on 5/25, and to this day am still enamored with the Rio Grandio transition and arrangement, which is nuanced enough to set it apart from others. Still my desert island Half-Step.

The rest of the show is just fantastic, both sonically and performance...ly. Performancey. Performance-like. They played great and sang great. In hindsight, having caught up on the Spring '77 Tour, I still think it's an 11 in a batch of shows that are mostly 9.5 and 10, with 3 or 4 other 11s. But you never forget your first 11, and seriously, this is a flawless perfect performance and set list.

Maybe it's partly the trouble it took me to get it, but this is my fav from '77. I eventually picked up my own copy from a gracious soul here who only wanted $100; if you're still out there, thanks.

5/25/77 is one of my favorite and most played shows. It’s also the only Dave’s Picks that I don’t have a physical copy of. Just can’t bring myself to drop six hundred bucks or more for it, so I’ve learned to live with the lossless files I have.

A hundred bucks though? You lucked out on that one, KeithFan.

My last five full album listens

Reese Wynans and Friends - Sweet Release
Keith Richards - Main Offender
The Replacements - Pleased To Meet Me
R.L. Burnside - A Ass Pocket Of Whiskey
Doors - L.A. Woman

Dead is a constant listen but so much a la carte, not a full show in the last five.

As far as Uncle Dougie's Red Rocks psychedelic dream, the parking lots at Red Rocks are full of kind friends. It won't be that hard. I don't know whether to laugh or cry at that post, what balls. Cop? Heh-heh.

Went skiing at Arapahoe Basin this morning. That is God's country if it ever existed. 79" base over Memorial Day weekend. License plates from all over the country. Good, good times. Peace all.

David Lemieux states in his notes from the ‘30TATS’ boxset that this show is flawless, and I most certainly concur, man I love the Grateful Dead’s 1979 playing/performances during this pivotal year for the band! Rock on everyone, have a grateful Sunday, peace be with you all!

My eyes lit up at the reference to R.L. Burnside by Ledded recently. A Ass Pocket of Whiskey is great, but in my eyes, even better is the live one he cut shortly afterwards-Burnside on Burnside. Seriously stomping blues-about as subtle as a bull in a china shop, but one of the best live blues albums I have ever heard.

Deadwise I am still listening to the vinyl I have mainly. The 11/10/67 jam from Alligator through to Caution, the last two sides of the album, must be one wildest jams the band ever played. I went from there to the Playing in the Band from Seattle 5/21/74. The opposite end of the spectrum in the Dead's great pre retirement arc of development. Compared to 1967, this is so refined sounding. What a great contrast in styles of improvisation.

Just dropped by to say, I really enjoyed 2 Jan 70. It had that relaxed, loose but tight and intimate feel that seems to be a hallmark of the Fillmore East nights. And man that Disc 3 classic medley smoked big time. Starts out loosey-goosey, then simply explodes at various points. For my money, one of the best DaPs yet. 3 Jan I found both rugged (St Stephen into Midnight Hour) and wonderful (Alligator, natch, Cosmic C and UJH).

Remembering those who gave their lives for our freedom, and our democracy, today. While astonished to see we're under a tornado watch here in Denver til 9pm. Crazy sh*t!

.... another curve ball from the boyz that was unexpected. My hard wired Dead brain took a sharp left. A WTF? moment for sure. Goes to show, you don't ever know. (Jerry does it better, so they settled on the correct storyteller. Testing the waters?)
That show also features Garcia on some welcoming pedal steel. Maybe that's why they did it. Seeing as how the pedal steel is prominent in that take, Jerry said " I need to concentrate Bobby. You take the mic." Lol. A Summer '69 box would be welcome in my abode. That's when the Dead really started to spread their wings and fly.

I'm starting with the AIDs benefit at Oakland-Alameda on 5/27/89 (happens to open with Touch of Gray, but I'm looking forward to set 2's Truckin'>Drums>Space>I Will Take You Home>The Other One>Wharf Rat>Lovelight). I was 36 on that day 30 years ago. The E Street Band's Clarence Clemons joins in from time to time on sax:

It's been a while since I heard the '89 show, which is why I'm saving Road Trips 2.4, Cal Expo 5/27/93 for later.
Here's a Miller soundboard transfer of that show: https://archive.org/details/gd93-05-27.sbd.miller.27777.sbeok.flac

On this Memorial Day, thanks to all who, over the years, have saved the peace and preserved our freedom at unthinkable cost. Onward.

Let us toast;
Those who gave the most,
Mr Smith, (happy, happy, joy, joy),
and the Amazing European tour of 1972! .......

Listened to 5/26/72 yesterday, and it blows my mind that it was basically Pigs last show......don’t believe he sang at the Hollywood show? Like one minute he was there kicking ass, and the next, poof, gone. Though he didn’t pass for almost a year, it’s almost like he died after this show, such a bummer......ok enough of all that.......

I looked everywhere and was sure I didn't order it, so I ordered Aoxomoxa (picture disc and cd). Just minutes later I found my earlier purchase of same thing! So I guess I'll have 2 copies of both. Can't cancel pre-order stuff, right?

I haven't posted this before, have I?

For the box......
A) let’s guess when they’ll announce it; today, tomorrow, Friday? When??
B) How many folks saw shows on their birthday? I got 11/9/79 and basically was still going strong after 11/7+8/85, but I think those were the only shows I saw in November?

I'm building a bigger mailbox. Looks like June is the month for the orders to come in. Lets see, we got the Aoxomoxoa, we got the Jerry Purple LPs, the Dylan collection, the Warfield collection, the new springsteen disc and the latest Zappa box!!!

Damn mailbox is gonna cost more than the music!!!

especially if you missorderd 2 of everything 😉
Don’t feel bad, had similar situation with the JGB Eel box.

I went on one of my trips to London on Friday to see the mighty Sun Ra Arkestra. Before setting off I checked my ticket for the show, my train ticket, my hotel ticket-and discovered I had booked in at the same hotel twice on two separate occasions! Luckily, I was able to get my money back on the second booking. As my grandad used to say-young people are very kind. Its just that I am no longer one of them!

Maybe we can take solace in the fact that the leader of the Sun Ra Arkestra, Marshall Allen, is now 95 years old and still blowing some of the most outrageous sax solos in the solar system.

....and becomes a portal to jams and melodies when the time approaches. I love my mailbox, even though the occasional bill shows up to ruin the vibe, but I will survive.
