    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*.

    3/24/93 Dean Dome with filler from 3/25. Really good later show, and being widely circulated hasn't stopped other shows from being Picked, also, it would be the first foray into the 90s in the Series, might as well make it good one. Guess we'll find out in about 45 minutes time... Good luck to those who didn't subscribe.

    something for a chuckle

    Sorting thru EVERY Garcia show EVER done. Got to 81 and found this note. Thought maybe it would interest some.

    I went to this Palo Alto show with my usual plan. Hang in the parking lot and get my spot in
    line established in the front of the line. You could do that back then. You could be one of the
    first few people in line, establish your presence and go about your pre-show plans and
    everyone would respect your place in line. Then I could run around and socialize with the
    usual suspects, smoke pot, drink beer and wait. Once I got in I always got a front row table as
    the other "head of the line" people were always hot to be rail-rats on the dance floor. My habit
    was to score the front row table and then drop the appropriate amount of good ol' LSD.
    I got the table and then this guy shows up and asks if he and his friend can sit there. I had no
    problems with that. I didn't care how many people can fit in--- I got my seat! This was actually
    a good thing because now I can run around, hit the bar, have fun and not worry about my
    seat. I come back to the table and his guy is setting up recording equipment. Of course I
    asked if I get a copy? He said, "sure--write down your address". Well, that assignment was
    actually a tough one. The acid was coming on very fast and I had a very hard time getting
    a pen a paper and then writing something on it. I scribbled something and he wrote down his
    address and it said "Dead Echoes, Pahoa, Hawaii, I told him, "I know someone in Pahoa". He
    looked rather startled and said "Who". I said, "Dick Latvala". Now keep in mind that this was
    before Dick became the GD Archivist. He said, "what does Dick look like?". I described him
    and he taps his friend on the shoulder who was sitting, facing the stage with his back to us.
    This guy turns around and without missing a beat, looks at me and says, "Hi Jeff, gee, I
    haven't seen you in ages". I was stunned. It was Dick and I had not seen him since I left his
    house in Pahoa in late 1976.
    (Here is the picture that Dick took of us leaving his place in Hawaii. He handed back the camera to me and off
    we went to Hilo. The 'substance' in the rolling paper was ---- if you will -- "Dick's Gift" -- the β version!)
    Dick then he proceeded to turn me on to what they were doing and how they were doing it.
    The problem was that the acid I took was getting into full swing and I was having a hard time.
    Dick finally said, "Why don't you just send me a couple boxes of blanks and I will fill them up
    for you." I did, and he sent me this tape, and many others and my tape collection got a major
    infusion of top trading ducats, and I was now hot to tape shows myself. It just took me awhile
    to get going.
    I saw Dick many times after that until I moved from California to Florida in 1989. I came to the
    December 1992 shows and ran into him in the parking lot of the Oakland Coliseum Arena. I
    told him that I had been sober since Jan. of 1991. He shared with me that he was trying to get
    sober and get off of drugs, but he was having a hard time because shows always interfered
    with that plan. At that show, he was sober in terms of alcohol but he was going to dose for the
    show and he discussed that at length with me. He was trying to grasp how I could go to
    shows without at least getting high. He never "got that". I never got to see him again after
    that.
    On the information page of the 1-23-81 show, it says, “no info on Dick's recording rig”. I was
    sitting at the table watching the recording happen and I don't remember what sort of
    equipment was being used. Actually, at the time, I didn't know very much about portable
    recording equipment. Amazingly enough, someone did! Taperpat wrote in to the comments
    section on LL "My notes show a Technics 686 with Nak CM 300's.." I contacted him for more info
    and he said
    " I am an old friend of Dick and a long time taper/archivist. Which means I still have my old analog library
    consisting of reels and master cassettes. On reel I have the same complete 1/23 and the partial 1/22 which I
    picked up soon after it was recorded in the early '80s. Like Dick, I keep a written record on set lists, taping
    equipment, location and any important data bits. Much better than relying on memory. In this case, my notes
    show that this was the equipment used that night. The irony is that I didn't write down that Dick had actually
    taped the show which makes it a rarity unto itself as he recorded so little on location. This might have be his only
    recording that I know of. Does that help? "
    Well, Pat you can count on it helping. Now we all know and "we" all just love to know all this
    OCD tidbits!! If Taperpat knew this and just never had a reason to drag this stuff up from his
    memory, just think how much more music and information is out there just waiting to surface.
    I ran into Bob Nelson (bnmusic) at the May 2008 Phil shows in SF. (I had flown from Florida to see
    the Sunday show.) I had not seen Bob in years, and he said something close to "Jeff, you got a
    bunch of stuff that is uncirculated, you ought to get it out". I heard him and didn't really think
    much more about it until I spotted one of my shows on LL that came from Katfishjohn. It
    turned out that he and I went to shows back in 1982 and we had lost contact. Because of all
    this crazy Jerry-based influence many of the 1982 shows will soon surface. I recorded almost
    all of the SF Bay area 1982 Jerry Band Shows. I just wish I had done Stockton. I was there
    and didn't record!
    My sincere thanks to saturnus for his careful Manley SLAM!® transfers of these 1981 shows
    and the transfers by Matt Smith of 6-12-82 and 4-25-82. Hang on to your hats folks, because
    Matt has a whole bunch more of my 1982 Jerry Band recordings to put up on LL.
    I am so grateful that all this is taking place. I was thinking, that if back in 1982 I had said, "ya
    know, someday......all of these recordings will be available to anyone -- world-wide" ----
    'they' would have taken me away in a nice white coat with very fashionable straps,
    accompanied by a woman with beady eyes and tight pursed lips who would have a pencil in
    her bun hair-do, while carrying a clipboard, not to mention the two big guys who would seem
    to tag along!
    I hope everyone is enjoying all of this stuff as much as I am. You see, I don't know how to
    transfer all this stuff to digital. I don't have the equipment. I don't even know how to upload a
    new torrent! However, I am downloading the torrent files just like everyone else---- so I can
    listen to them on CD and enjoy them too! Aren't you glad you live in this age of computers?

    announcement at 10 am today. I predict it will be a 69 show with a really space related theme, perhaps an unreleased Dark Star from 69? . After all, we are on our way to the moon 50 years ago, quite an exciting time. Launch, ground control to Capt. Trips, take your Owsley pill and put your helmet on....

    I was at that show in addition to the encore Dark Star they showed pictures recently received from Mars? from a space shot I don't recall which one on the video screen. As you can imagine it was impressive for all especially those of us sparking. Friday night shows started at 7 nice and dark by encore time, perfect for the pics

The clues have dried up and we are already at the end of May. The PNW box is still available for those that do not have it yet.
I was looking through the liner notes of the Dead Set reissue. For disc 2, they have songs from the Warfield dates and Radio City, which would lead me to believe they would have had the full shows when they completed that reissue. Maybe this year is the year we get that fantastic run! I need more Shakedown Streets.
If not 1980, my guess would be a late 80's Shoreline run.
Hopefully next week is the week??

....H>S>F and a Scarlet>Fire in the same show. A very nice Picasso Moon. A lilting Attics and Steve Miller sat in from Spoonful to the end of the show. I took my younger sister to this one and dosed her. I remember her & I sitting in our car after the show people watching until they made us leave. She bought a grilled cheese in the lot, proceeded to open and close the slices of bread, amazed at how the cheese stretched then would reform it its original form when she closed the bread slices back together. I don't think she ever ate it. She's a good looking woman and I had to keep fending off my friends from hitting on her. Good times....

...in case anyone was looking for it (I was), Dead & Co just dropped webcast info for Summer tour. They waited til like the last possible second considering it starts tonight....just sayin'.

VGuy, I concur - that is a pretty good show from this end...

I'm not a love light fan either, generally speaking...but 5/24/72 was basically the only version I knew for years, as it was a bonus track on Rockin' The Rhein. It's 12 minutes with no rapping and some of the most unique jamming theses guys did. To each his own, but I'd hate for you to miss out on something special. But I could be too late. The half hour piggly wiggly pocket ball versions may have ruined it for life. I shit you not, if I had only 3 Pigpen tunes to take to my desert island, the 5/24/72 Lovelight would be one of them. Good luck.

Hi All,
I am slightly late to ABB discussion. However recently over on the Grateful Dead Guide blogspot, the author posted a great and thorough comparison of The Dead and ABB. Now I am fairly certain the point of this was more to showcase the times each band shared the bill and/or collaborated on stage together. Still the author does go into detail about what ABB members thought of the Grateful Dead and such. I am not going to review all of this but rather I am sharing the link below so all of you can check it out if you feel like it:

https://deadessays.blogspot.com/2019/01/the-dead-and-allmans.html

For me personally I love the ABB. I saw them twice with their version of the Core Four in the line up: Greg, Dickey, Butch and Jaimoe. I also saw the line up several times that included Warren, Oteil, and Derek. I always had a good time at their shows and I felt they really went after it when they jammed. Interestingly, the last time I saw the ABB was in 2008 when they played in State College, PA. Also on that bill that night was The Dead…

I loved Roguedeadguy’s description of each band; that was spot on. I will say when it comes down to it for me though The Grateful Dead always were able to hit me on an emotional level that ABB couldn’t. As a matter of fact, The Grateful Dead are really the only band that has the ability to take my heart, mind, and soul on journeys. Besides this The Grateful Dead did have many innovative ideas that they pursued which I also think have made them second to none. For the ABB though, that early period of 69-73 is tremendous. I have not heard any shows from 74-76, and I know they started to unravel in those years as band turmoil took over. Yet with the band losing two of it’s main members in succession and still being able to produce great music and jams is quite amazing if you ask me. My only issue with the ABB is that since they did not have the innovations that the Grateful Dead had there is a lack of live material from them. Of course there is a lot from 1971 and that is important as not only did they have both Duane and Berry then but that was a peak year the band as well. However from what I have heard form 72 and 73 those years are pretty good too. Outside of a few radio broadcast bootleg CDs and one release from 72 and two from 73 there is not much material from those years out there.

I'd bet a dollar a doughnut (there's a phrase that needs updating, time to raise pinky to lip), but I JUST got confirmation of the cancellation of my mistaken second order. So the "system" worked for me, but maybe this means if you order two of something by mistake (or otherwise), you can cancel your order and it will be returned to the 'general' pool of availability, vs if you offered to the boards first. This would limit a limited thing to maybe(?) a group of people who wait everyday for such a thing. Or not, obviously more 'heads' out there, then there are here and they deserve an equal shot at the returned item.

sorry for the interruption

Lamb Lies Down on Broadway - Genesis, been too long since my last listen, cool album.
Pet Sounds (mono) - Beach Boys, a classic album from start to finish, but Caroline No really does it for me.

Currently revisiting Electric Larryland by the Butthole Surfers, an album with some weird and cool stuff, especially Pepper at high volumes.

Holy Cow.. I was exhausted just from the totality of what transpired during my morning bike ride.. Not to mention what happened in the afternoon.

While listening to it.. I wondered... when was the first time they went into The Other One without the Cryptical.. without doing That's It For The Other One? If nobody knows it offhand I might have to figure it out.

Going into The Other One, especially Dark Star > The Other One makes a powerful statement. Powerful indeed.

Driving home from work. Spent the whole day working on a dispute letter, 12 pages, to avoid paying for services I didn't order. These motherfuckers have been chasing me down for 4 years, from one collection agency to the next. Fuck them fuck them fuck them.

Jimbo I'm going to go with the Academy Music run in March of 72. I'm almost positive they didn't play it on any of the other ones there, I know they played it late into December '71on Dave's Picks 22 and 26 right?

And now I'm going back to May 24th 1972, me and my uncle. I need to turn it up to 35 and Listen to Jerry rip the shit out of this solo again. Let's just hope my EZPass works. Shity fucking day.

To state the obvious, if you have one this may be good news-if you don't-then maybe less so. Not referring to Aoxomoxoa, specifically-just things in general.

My last two have been 4/17/72 followed by 4/21/72, after a gap of a month from E72 shows. Excellent in every respect-and possibly the best recorded sound of a Stratocaster not being played by Jimi Hendrix. Or Jeff Beck.

Furthering our discussion on this monumentally important topic . . . and kind of related to MD Jim's question . . . are there any instances where they went into TOO cold . . . as in they concluded the prior song, stopped playing, and then "BA-DOO-BA-DOO-BA-DOO-DOO-BA-DOO-BAAAAAAAA" straight into a ripping TOO?

They would do that with Dark Stars, and with the full Cryptical - TOO Suite, I just can't think of one where The Other One didn't spawn from another song.

Anyway I love Other Ones, often times more than Dark Stars. Dark Stars really call for a careful, focused listening which isn't always practical. Other Ones I can just rock out to anytime anywhere.

Really sorry to read of the death of Roky Erickson. "Psychedelic Sounds Of.." and "Easter Everywhere" have been on my regular playlist since I first heard them in 1978. The Elevators have gone down in history, with The Dead, a being pioneers of psychedelic rock-but Roky was a great vocalist in his own right, irrespective of the era that has come to define him. But he was also truly mythic. I only saw him once, in 2007. He mainly played songs from his first solo album, "Five Symbols" with only "You're Gonna Miss Me" cropping up from the Elevators song book. But it was a great gig - all the abuse he suffered-but that voice remained-pure as ever.

Ya know, scrolling through my Music Bee, looking at these shows, the FLA 80 run (11/26,28,29) are overall really good and unique shows. Would make a cool 3-show box, if the tapes are usable.

If you haven't checked these shows out, they are all strong. Also, electric versions of a lot of the acoustic tunes from Reckoning... electric Deep Elem? Yep, it's awesome. The Sportatorium show has a Cold Rain 2nd set opener, the Lakeland has a Stranger, To Lay Me Down 2nd set opening combo,... and then, there is Gainesville....

Anyway, these are some really great fall of 80 shows, worthy of recognition. Let's just hope the tapes are good. If not, there are good to better than decent AUDs of all 3.

Rock on, and happy weekend, DeadLand!

Peace

Otis my man! I don't often venture past Dead set and the Grateful Dead go to Nassau... But 1980 is a little bit of a sweet spot so I'm going to check out the Florida shows you recommend, thanks buddy.

Not for the light-hearted, as it is an audience recording, but put on some headphones and don't let anybody interrupt you for a half hour or so, and here's some of that magic similar to the Dick's Picks 16 medley that Jim was talking about yesterday. This is really really really good stuff, it is a tragedy that it's not in the vault. I'm sure this is not news to a lot of you, but I've had the 69/70 bug lately and this one really carried me off. It's definitely one you want to sit down and get in the right mood for if you know what I mean.

6/24/70

Dark Star =>
Attics Of My Life =>
Dark Star, Pt. 2 =>
Sugar Magnolia =>
Dark Star, Pt. 3 =>
St. Stephen

And there's no crime in staying tuned for the China Rider and Uncle John's Band that follows.

It sounds like you're our authority on The Other One. I like how you're thinking - maybe come out for the second set to a completely dark stage and then just go wild with those rumbling opening bass notes; then crank on some lights when everybody else jumps in. For the Dark Stars it sounds like you need to be in the right frame of mind eh? I've kind of gotten hooked on them myself. I have a playlist that's all Dark Stars. Then I started integrating '72 / '73 Bird Songs and '73 / '74 China Cat Sun Riders. But there's nothing more satisfying in music these days for me than listening to Jerry noodle through Dark Star at high volume. The louder the better. I guess that goes without saying. You must really love DP 18' s The Other One from Feb '78. I'll bet you have a devastating top 10 list.

You're welcome…I edited as well. I had to laugh out loud since I had just taken 2 (Dr. prescribed).

If 11/26/80 & 11/29/80 are in the vault they could be combined with 12/12-14/80 if they're in the vault for a tasty 5 show box…

I think we may see some 4/78 shows as DaPs…when either DaP7 4/24/78 or DaP15 4/22/78 were released I seem to recall DL saying these were ear-marked for a '78 box…I think that box became the July '78 Box Set.

Any thoughts on either?
