    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*.

    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!

...Keithfan my friend, hope all is well. How about the performance from 10/26/71 Rochester NY, sequence- ‘Truck’n >>Drums>>’The Other One’. I think it’s a great performance!
“This is something new” the band tells the crowd of fans at ‘The Palestra’ after finishing a Primo performance of ‘ Comes A Time’ and then the dead jump into ‘One More Saturday Night’! Oh yeah, play it loud!!! Primo Show all around really in my Dead Head Opinion lol ha ha 🙏❤️😎take care everyone. God bless.
...Almost forgot about 4/29/77 , a Sweet version of ‘Sugaree’, ‘Scarlet Begonias’ & ‘Going Down the Road’ feeling bad! Love’n it all! Smile Smile Smile!

...Keithfan, I also enjoy the 7/21/72 performance in Seattle. PRIMO ‘Truck’n>>Drums/Bass>>’The Other One’! 😉✌️

Grateful Dead Meet-Up 2019 will feature 6/17/91 from Giants Stadium, and "as a special treat, this extraordinary screening will also feature a reveal of the Grateful Dead's 2019 boxed set, featuring the Dead's legacy manager, archivist and producer David Lemieux."

https://terracetheater.com/movie/grateful-dead-meet-up-2019

https://thelittle.org/event/May19/grateful-dead-meet-2019

...I love the Grateful Dead, all eras, I shit you not. Lol ha ha...but Im really not too excited for this release. Even though it’s from the 48 master recordings( I’m a huge fan of primo high quality audio🙏). And the set list is more than grateful!
I was there. I attended this show and I had a Blast! It was in a grateful time in my life. As I look back, I try to recall every performance / show I attended with a special part some where hidden in thy body & soul. This performance at Giants Stadium I remember like it was yesterday. If I sit or stand still, close my eyes and focus. I’m right back where it all began, boom, it hits close to my heart, maybe that’s why I’m steering away from this release?. It sure brings back a rush of old memories, good & bad, All and All a lovey story about love, death & travel, just think of jack kerouac writing...I know this is going to be a Primo Event for the Band and their Fans!
Long live the ‘good ol Grateful Dead’ !

The band really tried to make these shows special. The pages going around with Jerry's guitar on them were the bomb.

It's sad that we will never see these two shows released in a box-set with blu-ray video.

Edit: These two were taped for release.

I take ‘reveal’ to mean a showing of the Box itself.

So hopefully we get the pre-order announcement soon.
Maybe delivery in August/September, similar to PNW.

Mmmmmmm.......Box Set.........

Stoltzfus when you said June 3rd, I figured that was the announcement of the box set, not the announcement for the announcement. But that's okay, at least I can relax for a couple months now knowing exactly when the date is. The other guy said he heard something different from you, but clearly he knows not.

I might be mistaken but I think they used the film event to do a box set reveal last year but I’m pretty sure we all knew the details of the release prior to the film. Right??

I was also kind of thinking that's how it went down. August is awfully late for the reveal. Even 30 Trips was early as June for a Sept release.

I'm also going to jump in and say that the 10.9.80 acoustic set at the Warfield is good, but the 10.10.80 acoustic set is grate!
I haven't been to a MUATU event yet....that is going to change this year.
48 tracks? I'm guessing track 34 is picking up Phil's farts.

I listen to 12/6/71 from time to time still. Just noticed Pigpen only sang three songs that night. None in the 2nd set. Must have been feeling shitty. I like this show.

This is a fantastic show. One of the only ones they ever opened with Eyes of the World, I believe. And certainly the Bruce factor out of the gate is Immortal. They weave in and out of Dark Star the entire show but never actually go all the way. Great interplay and I can't wait for 48 tracks. Wow.

And of course, we've probably seen at least the Eyes of the World and Saint of Circumstance featured on the "In-Concert" series that was briefly on network television in the 1990s where those clips were featured and I happened to be able to record it on VHS at the time. I then found a way to transfer that to cassette tape and from there it eventually made its way to a CD.

Then I finally found archive.org. The rest is history as they say.

....I like it as well. It was in my last last five. I already have a new last three. The latest last five report will land within two hours. Give or take twenty minutes.

That this years MUATM's will be part of their new YouTube streaming concept. So the question is.. Free, you have put up with commercials or Subscription, or a hybrid.

I'm honestly surprised they are not going with the Nugs model.. but instead of livestream, you can just buy the stream and watch it whenever you want.

I also listened to 12/6/71 this past week and it was eons better than I remembered it. With the exception of Weir missing a line in Truckin' ( I'd be disappointed if he didn't), it's a near perfect stroll through their new school tunes, which they had a nice shine on by 12/71. The Other One with Bobby McGee in between into Wharf Rat is gold. Closes out with one of their best UJB (as far as their non-extended Jam renditions go).

The PNW box was announced on June 12, 2018. I bought mine on the first day. They arrived at our homes in early September.
Seems like the dates for this year's box release according to the MUATM announcement will be close to last year. So, we should know something soon. Can't wait. Don't be fooled by the 1991 MUATM date, they won't be dipping into 1991 for awhile.

Now the proud owner of a new Rega Saturn cd player-complete with actual cabinet, to place it in,, as opposed to whatever happens to be lying around as has traditionally been the case, I finally gave this a listen. I am well impressed with the sound quality, I have to say. The 3rd cd, as every one has already said, is the one. Maybe the correct playing order is that, followed by the rest of it. I like the first 2cds well enough, though. While I am here, I could share my last 5-apart from the above, they read
Live at Dusseldorf 3/28/79 Steve Hillage
Live in Ohio 4/28/74 King Crimson
The Contact Sessions The Thirteenth Floor Elevators
Power Plant The Golden Dawn
and last but definitely not least, the only recorded evidence of of Snakegrinder and the Shredded Field Mice. On vinyl. Genius.

I'm glad everyone had their therapeutic purge, now it's time to move on or take it to the PM. Capeesh?

So I'm getting a head start on the Winterland June 1977 Complete Recordings anniversary run. Let me just say I love the Scarlet Fire on here. The beginning is really cool, because they take a while to get into the vocals, so you can just kind of space out and relax for a bit. There's this mesmerizing Jam section towards the end of Scarlet that is really just a thing of its own - never heard them go off quite like this. It's a couple minutes long, and a mellow moment, but a damn fine one. Don't mind the microphone problem on the first verse. Of all the things, it's hard to imagine this box set goes for $400 used on eBay. It does have all the biggies though. The Cornell box doesn't even have a conjoined Estimated Eyes.

Come on guys and gals let’s stop this bickering . I’m sure the good people of rhino will do what’s best for us all 🤞and deliver some box set news as and when . In the mean time let’s not forget it’s all about fun and enjoying the music we’ve already got ( to be honest I haven’t finished PNW yet !! ) At least you people over the pond have got MUATM and let’s not forget dead & co shows . We've had diddly squat over in limey land since nov 1990 .
P.S . LMG I saw the doors alive cover band in my home town ( St Albans ) last week and they were fantastic - thought of you when they played 5 to 1 😺 .
P.P.S. I’m currently loving dicks picks 19 at the mo . I do love me some 73 dead . 😸😸😸
Be good and be save and as Pete Townshend said at the isle of white in 1970 “ smile you buggers , pretend it’s Christmas “

Meet up at the movies - looks cool. Would be interesting if daves picks 31 is selected as same show as film. I was just checking out another show from Giants stadium yesterday from June 1993. Nice Candyman

Been rockin out , May 1978 Dicks Picks 25 disc 1 for the last couple weeks. Straight fire. That first disc is near perfect from start to finish.

Keith fan made a great suggestion. Move on or take it to the PM. Not because he is any kind of moderator or anyting, but because everyone is tired of your personal feud. So what are you do? You announce you're going to write a short response and then you write a novel. Nobody cares about what you're talking about. Show some respect for the rest of the board and take it to the private forum that you have at your disposal.

Take it to the p.m. please. Really, you're so full of negative vibes both of you, but I haven't seen a response from exile, which I'm happy for. Someone made a suggestion to p.m. each other, so go ahead and do that. The room is not interested in any of this.

I think if you both want to be stand-up guys and redeem yourselves to the room, you should go back and edit your posts down to one positive sentence and take all of your comments to the p.m. Nobody wants to read this. If you are truly people who stand for the good vibes of the board like you say you are, just remove what you've written. Click edit and write something like Good Day Sunshine. Or smile smile smile. Or primo peggy-o's. But please spare us of all of it and cut / paste to p.m.

Hey LMG & EOMS. Your "existential" spat, like all too many before, doesn't belong here. LMG, I just about always enjoy your posts and look forward to reading more in the future. You too, Exile. Doesn't sound like anyone else thinks you need to defend your good names, but if you're passionate about doing so, please take it to PM (as in "PERSONAL/PRIVATE" Messages) where it belongs.

Possibly;
1) more Mickey Toys
2) More Keyboard/Bralove toys
3) They were collecting live tracks for possible release ala Without a Net..
4) some/all of the above.......don’t think the rest were doing anything that different that would of required more tracks? Would think the midi stuff would still source to the mixes via their individual rigs direct or mic’d as usual?
I believe I read somewhere that they used 64 for Built to Last? That’s probably as much as convenience as actually needing that many?

OTIS/J Roddy & the Bidness; tell your boy Billy we really enjoyed, the wife especially as she’s not “one of us” lol, so likes the more straightforward R&R......to me they seemed like a band trying to be as tight and “professional” as possible, you know, trying to “make it” (Not that that’s a bad thing) But the whole time I felt like “what if this guy started ripping up some Zepplin”? You can sometimes really tell who a musicians main influences were, and I’m betting Page was it for your friend?

This appears as song 5 on the Miller seed on the archive, "Get Down From The Balcony." tsk tsk boys.

Here is the origin of the joke.

An now you know the rest of the story.

Midnight Hour > Bertha. Such a strong opener to an under-rated show.. Certainly releasable one day.

Would love to see an Ark box or even something off the cuff like a Spectrum box set (I grew up a few miles from there) The anticipation is killing me. Super pumped for the MUATM. I only caught about a dozen shows with Jerry and 6/17/91 has always stuck out to me and I have always considered it the best Dead show I saw live. Can't wait to relive it again :)

While we are awaiting the box set announcement, I stumbled upon this

How could I have missed that? Downright crabby, but in a good way.
