    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.

    So glad you made it man....yep, As he mentioned, Phil was at Red Rocks last week and then somehow got transported back to 1978. Sounds like the Jimmy Herring spaceship got him. I spotted him calling out into the abyss while doing perimeter rides on the carpet, and told him where to go....curious though Phil, if you were able to see the Dead & Co Boulder shows in Boulder before you were teleported? If you did, that must have been one hell of a run?

    Widespread Panic - Have always loved these guys, and IMO one of the best live bands around, but they don’t seem to get talked about much on these boards? Anyone have thoughts on that?

    2/28/69 Vinyl - it was worth the wait. First of all, any show that’s starts with Morning Dew, followed by a nice run of Pigpen songs is just fine by me. The art work blown up on the box is beautiful with liner notes about the recording and recorder (named Prototype #2, but referred to as a time machine....any thoughts on construction Jim?). The sound is of course excellent recorded on 16Track, with the highlight being for the Jam>Caution towards the end.

    KF - meant to say earlier that I loved your Fourth of July post....wish I had your skills! Can I just call you Uncle Gary from now on?

    Stoltzfus - glad you got your avatar going

    Dennis: Warfield sound is amazing enjoy! I’m hoping for the box set to be the complete run from Warfield. If the sound is that good then Holy Moly!!!

    Carlo13 - about spit up my beer with your Strohs comment

    DaveRock: Love it, but how do the 80s and 90s fit into your expectations synopsis?....never mind don’t answer that....expectations are just opportunities for disappointment. Something I’m not into either!!!!

    Oroborous: more on the Sasquatches in Part 2 of Tales from the Gorge...promise it’s coming soon...stay tuned!

    LMG: don’t think I have ever listened to that RT Egypt show.....today perhaps!

    Deadhead Brewer: Awesome story....here’s a thought. Being a Deadhead leads me to more real interaction with real people (many times random strangers), than anything else I do, other than work maybe. This is rare these days with all of the technology that we swim in everyday. Harkens back to the “Finding Home” article that I posted the other day. Love the synchronicity stories....like a constant reminder of where home is!

    1978 Box - still haven’t opened mine as I still don’t own a CD player, and I already have the digital copies....did listen to the Arrowhead show a day ago, which IMO is the best show of the box....(I may have a little bit of KC bias)....Just love that Wharf Rat...Jerry soars....And the long set in the middle of that heat? Arrowhead was absolutely baking that day, and being the festival type atmosphere with multiple acts the time for them I’m sure was limited, but they delivered in spades. One more thing about this show...I’m not 100% positive but I think my mom may have attended this show. She left us in 2014 so I can’t ask her, but I vaguely remember her talking about being there or maybe others she knew who went. She’s liked music and enjoyed going to concerts, and we talked about this often when I started attending various shows while in high school. She liked the Dead’s music OK, but more casually, just songs she heard on the radio or something...she was never really into the scene so this would have been her only show. I’m going to ask my dad about this, but he never remembers this kind of shit so maybe SOL...LOL!!!

    I’ll echo Grateful Han in telling y’all thank you for hanging out...I’m Grateful!!!!

    Be kind and Rock On!

    KCJ

    One more thing....if you haven’t already, don’t forget to pickup your copy of DeadHead Stories from Deadheadstories.org ...best $45 you will ever spend and all goes to charity. I’m about 200 pages in, and the stories are amazing. This beer guzzling hard ass has teared up numerous times.....a couple good Phil stories so far....one lucky Head even had Phil stop and sing him Happy Birthday. He had randomly run into Phil, and all he could think to say is, “Hi Phil, today is my birthday”.....Phil almost walked away but then at the last minute turned around and gave this Deadhead the thrill of their life ....how cool is that......I’m paraphrasing the story. Please pick up a copy and read it for yourself!

    '78 Bite

    Dave Rock I'd like to add the other one to the 1978 bikes. Especially early in the year. Dick's Picks 18 is unparalleled in my mind as far as the post hiatus performances go. MacArthur Court AKA close encounters with the Grateful Dead is also excellent. I think the wolf had something to do with that.

    I also think lazy lightning supplication started jamming out a bit more in 78. To be honest though I don't know a lot of versions from either year 77 or 78, just a general observation I'm making on this one.

    A really hot blonde just passed me.

    The music never stopped. They got incredibly sloppy on a lot of versions in 1978, however they have this extended Jam that they started doing that went from 20 seconds to 2 minutes almost, starting at about 3 1/2 minutes into the song. Dave's Picks 7 is an excellent example. And of course there is the lone wheel from 1978 on Dick's Picks 18.

    All in all I think 1978 may have been there most inconsistent year of the 70s. Truly a hit-or-miss affair. affair

    Anyway it's not what I came here for. The China Rider from Dave's Picks 21, which I affectionately refer to as recommendations from the dead since the man himself dick latvala said that some of the best jamming of 73 occurred in the second set, especially after Here Comes sunshine. Recommendations from the dead. But yeah the China Rider is up there. If road trips and Dick's Picks 12 chinariders are a 10 out of 10 oh, this is at least a nine. Kind of along the same lines of skeleton skaters AKA Dave's Picks 13. Sorry about the mess. Driving with Google Voice.

    warfield cd's here

    Just finished ripping in. VERY nice recording, one might even say "primo" :-). But really very nice recording. But now I just realized I don't have EXPANDED Reckoning! And so goes the search.

    Well that was a short search! Barnes & Noble had it in stock for less than the Dead site and 1/3 less than Amazon! So I got it for 30 bucks, delivered, express shipping.

    1978 shows are great if you don't expect them to sound like 1974's. 1974 shows are great if you don't expect them to sound like 1968's. 1968 shows sound great which ever way you look. As long as you aren't expecting them to sound like 1972's.

    Apart from Estimated Prophet, the other song they play with real bite in 1978 seems to be Tennessee Jed. Every version I hear from this year swings in a way it never did before. And probably never did again.

    ...I’ve really been enjoying the ‘road trip’ vol1 #4, “from Egypt with love” plus the Bonus CD, from 1978, Winterland 10/21-22/78. There’s a lot of primo performances included within this release. If anyone can give it a listen I’m pretty sure your gonna find some golden nuggets held within.
    Have a grateful day everyone, the third week of July is almost upon us deadheads & fans.😉

    Casey Jones sent me to this party! I’ve been meaning to get on this thread for awhile but you know...well... here I am. I finally pulled the trigger on the July 78 box set! It was easy for May 77 & PNW 73&74 to get ordered immediately, my favorite years being 73 & 77 . But man when I hear a 78 show that’s hot , goddamn it’s rollicking hot! DaP23 is nuts, the segue from drums into the other One is
    the hottest rocking spaceship 🚀 stuff I’ve ever heard!( on a side note I saw widespread at red rocks a couple weeks ago, never miss a Sunday show lol! & Speaking of rocking hot , Jimmy Herring blew my brains into the night sky ! Incredible is an understatement of that man, in a hundred years musicians will be listening to live archives of him & still be floored) , but yeah that transition literally sounds like some spaceship taking off. But 78 can also be extremely sloppy. I had to really listen to the archives before pulling the trigger, another thing was that it hadn’t sold out, thought there might be some merit to it but I think I’ll be happy with my purchase, of course I will! Listening to new haven 5/5/77 , love this tight condensed show:). Call me a glutton but I’m really 🙏ing for a 74 DaP31, why? Why the fuck not!

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?

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....

Question to all digital downloaders?

Hi there,

I downloaded the ALAC of this digital download but when I import into iTunes it is not recognizing the artist or songs and not creating an album. 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.

...I just wanted to drop a line my brother and say thank you for all your posts. Your one of The members that I enjoy reading your daily posts! Thank you for all your help pulling the (this) group together along with me, Daverock, Yourself , vguy72 , Keithfan , stolzes ect. You know the people I’m writing about, keep on Rocking my brother!

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!

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.

My dear old mom was kind enough to not only birth me, but to do so on what's usually a 3-day weekend here in the states. Much better than the day after Christmas for sure. . . 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:
https://archive.org/details/gd1989-05-27.sbd.walker-scotton.miller.8760…

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.
