    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.

    Donna's post retirement screams seem alright to me, as do the rest of her vocals. Her most frightening Playing moments come during 1974, 5/21 being a notable example.

    Kid, thanks for the intel about Bells.....shit looks tasty and according to their site Beerman should have some? So I’ll pick some up next time I go over there. I’ll look for some of that GreatDivide CJ spoke of also.....As far as the PBR....kegs no way eh! Has to be extremely hot out, has to be cans, and as I said, has to be super ice cold from the ice chest, and only like once in a blue moon as a novelty....

    Big Foot, RFK Box, and 12/31/78

    Big Foot is pretty much the only B.W. I’ll drink, the rest are usually way to sweet. The Sierra Nevada Big Foot Barelywine is another annual mainstay usually grab a few cases while we can. (have a bottle from every year going back like 10-12 years, same with Sierra Nevada Celebration and Anchor Xmas ....So another that we’ll let the last cached supply sit during the hot summer months, then finish off during next winter season, and yes it does age well. Not sure about any alcohol increase....I’m sure I’ve read something about this but forgotten yet again, sigh....

    RFK BOX; did these fine shows this weekend, man they sound awesome, nothing like nice modern tech multis!
    Also, did one of my all time favs! Perhaps best first set ever?i have a mix of the amazing first set plus the Cryptically/TOO stuff from 2nd set, that all fits nicely on one disc......of 7/13/85, SMOKING! You can hear the positive vibes in the stage banter as well as the playing!
    Also gave 7/1/78 a spin since y’all been going on about it. As usual 78 not my favorite year, but I still can enjoy.....a good show is a good show no matter what era! Might try to squeeze in the Omaha show as that seems to be the top pick here? Might fire up some of the live Floyd bonus stuff from the Dark Side and WYWH reissues y’all was talking about last week or so? Haven’t listened to those much, but they kick ass for sure!

    12/31/78; thanks to Deadvikes for the proper info about this release(s).....I misspoke....I was thinking about that Winterland NYE Bonus from? Something, can’t remember (believe LMG just posted all that info recently, probably why I got mixed up )But that’s what I meant by Bonus CD Dennis......I do have the whole 12/31/78;show on CD as I often go digital direct from the DVD player to the trusty ML 9600 thereby eliminating a few conversion steps. It rips at higher resolution than redbook, but then down res to redbook during CD burning......I’ve done this with many of the DVDs and they sound ama....aaa, “PRIMO” 😉 I could burn higher resolution copies with the 9600 but the higher the res the less disc capacity, so you’d need several discs for a whole show......now that I’m thinking about it I’ll have to try it sometime.....

    did someone say "Englishtown"? got a story...

    So my buddy Tommy picked me and 2-3 others up and we drove to Englishtown, 42 years ago this fall. We parked a couple miles away and walked into the site, defined by dozens of tractor-trailer boxes around the perimeter. We hit the growing crowd about one-third the way back and decided not to push it. We'd been in the scrum up front in big outdoor shows; no way to enjoy your liquid trip. During the show, a woman in front of the stage had to be renditioned: she was having a baby at the freakin' show.

    Vague memories of the openers, we wanted loud GD and we got it.

    I still remember Phil saying: "We haven't played to a crowd this size in a LONG TIME!" To cheers, of course.

    My buddy Tommy and I started out standing next to each other and as the acid came on, we were jostled a few feet apart. No worries. But each song, I noticed that we were drifting just a little further away from each other -- like being on the river when the current dictates your position -- and exchanged the glances that said we were aware of the situation, but not to worry. It's always good to have a tripping buddy around, despite the generally supportive vibe at a show. Well, at some point in the show, I looked over and Tommy was gone, gone, gone. I chuckled. Not to worry. I'd find him later. In a crowd of about 100,000. (Unwarranted optimism has been a personal trait, sometimes supported by a small square of paper with a cartoon character on it.)

    Anyhoo, as you know from the tapes, the band killed it that night and many, many people did not make it off site after the show. In a surreal landscape of klieg lights, bodies, garbage and, well, urban New Jersey, I found a palette of cardboard and admitted that I needed to hunker down til daylight. So I did. Woke with the sun and hundreds of concert-goers who had done the same. I managed to enter the stream of stragglers heading back to their cars and called for a ride home. Right away, two heads said, "Sure, man, come with us, we'll drive you home." And they did. I was staying with my folks at the time and we all came in, my folks were cordial and glad to see me, not knowing why I hadn't come home the previous night. My new friends had coffee, used the bathroom, hung out with my folks (we must have stunk to high heaven and we had LSD hangovers) and those boys drove off out of sight and memory. Strangers stopping strangers, just to shake their hand. (Which actually happened at Watkins Glen. I had to wonder about that when Mars Hotel dropped in summer '74 -- had Hunter been in the parking area?)

    Just another major GD show full of the classic elements: lose your friends, depend on the music, and then random Deadheads to get you home safely after a night of sleeping between sheaves of cardboard in the bushes after a show.

    Oh, and great show!

    playing sans screaming

    4/16/72. Interesting call on that one Jim. It is an early version, but when was it the wail added exactly? It has got me thinking. Was it present when the tune was introduced? Donna wasn't a member of the band until NYE Winterland '71, right? I was thinking of anomalies where she may not have been near the mike or simply gone for other reasons. It is interesting when you brace yourself to expect to hear something that never occurs... Clear! :-)

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

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.

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?
