    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*.

    Am I the only person who still has yet to receive this? Got an email last week with a tracking number that as of a few minutes ago still goes nowhere. I guess I'll just search for some links to download this, I'd rather wait for the discs to arrive, but I'm really eager to hear this.

    Disc #3 always seems to be a favorite...

    Dave's 30 keeps the streak alive...... but i have to say, I really really like Disc 2... It's because of the "filler" songs from the end of 1/3/70.... the last 3 songs, Dancing in the Street, St. Stephen>In The Midnight Hour are just so good..... And so are the Morning Dew and Big Boss Man.... "filler" is a joke by the way.... those 5 songs from 1/3/70 on disc 2 are smoking hot.... So you listen to those 5 songs and then head to Disc 3 !!! It is like two Disc 3's in one CD!!!! and Disc 1 is awesome also... Bob t

    Early/Late shows

    It makes sense; take for example 1/2/70, there's three bands on the bill, the Dead, Lighthouse and Coldblood. It wasn't just a GD show.

    Early/late = Set 1 and 2

    But this way you got to exit the venue during ‘intermission’ and restock your supplies if needed.

    Maybe both shows combined equaled the ticket price of a 2-set show.
    But hey, it’s NY and SF, they’re used to being charged more for everything.

    First Listen

    I had some free time this morning and the weather was great.. so I took in a nice bike ride and finished my first listen.

    I have to say.. this Dark Star is fantastic. So moody and emotive. Disc three is a stunner and for me, moves this one into the top shelf of keeper shows.

    I, too, noticed the vocals are panned to one side. Not sure if it's left or right because I used headphones and I have no idea if I had them on the right ear or not. I did notice during I think Masons?? perhaps Dark Star?? mid song Bear moved Jerry's voice to center for a bit and then moved it back at some point. I think it was Mason's because he did the same thing on both versions.. but I could be wrong, I need to re-listen.

    Also, I really get a kick out of the embryonic versions of the new songs. So rough and Jerry's tone on some of them gives it a grungy quality. Raw and unpolished. I get and agree with some of the criticism these tunes get, but for me it is an added bonus. I especially like the early versions of China > Rider. Knowing where this duo winds up only adds to the excitement of hearing them work through the changes and transitions on these early versions.

    That's my take. A top shelf release, warts and all.. and that Dark Star, Special!

    early and late shows

    I think it's on 10/30/70

    Jerry says something like this to a fan complaining about the short early show: "yeah, it's a bummer, but its the first show....how long do we have to do this?"

    in essence, Jerry didn't like the early/late split, either.

    I would have bought a ticket for each, regardless.

    Tele Custom

    DaveRock...the guitar I am building is not exactly a Tele, but is very similar. It has a Tele body, but a custom neck. I went with 5A Birdseye Maple which will be roasted at high temperatures for enhanced playability and tone. I wanted a reliced guitar without the fender custom shop price tag. My guitar instructor here in KC recommended a company called MJT out of Carthage, MO. Very small town about 2 hours south of here. I had never heard of them, but they have hundreds of Grate reviews, and ship guitars all over the world. Their specialty is aged finishing. Check em out http://www.mjtagedfinishes.com/ I ordered one about 5 weeks ago, and takes approximately 14 weeks. I went with a faded/yellowed Taos Turquoise over vintage Sunburst, with some checking and med-heavy wear....... Can't wait!

    Roy Buchanan- Danny Gatton-telecasters on fire!

    Yes, he was an incredible guitarist. He cropped up on here when we were talking about those Rockpalast shows. When I think of him, I always go on to consider Danny Gatton-another phenomenal telecaster player. He was more rockabilly/jazz than Roy, but, man, he could play. I think he was in a band with Jack Cassady in the early 1960s, although I don't think they recorded together. Tragically, like Roy, he also died by hanging himself.

    There's something about a telecaster that inspires truly spectacular playing. Hope you manage to get a picture of your tele custom on here KCJ. My most played electric guitars are the three pickup James Burton and the Japanese made pink paisley tele. You could crack glass with the tone on that one.

    late and early

    I have only gotten through disc 1, plan on the rest tonight, though the Milwaukee Bucks game is calling me (lifetime fan here), so it may have to wait. I received my lowest number yet-- #864. Not that it makes any difference... I like the tunes so far-- nice UJB and High Time (TC's contributions to High Time are immense).

    So, better than any other release, this show's liner notes put in perspective the Early and Late show phenomenon of Bill Graham's venues. Which makes me think that folks who saw the Grateful Dead at Bill's venues in the late 60s and early 70s (Fillmore Auditorium, Fillmore West, Fillmore East and Winterland) were getting a vastly different experience than those seeing them in other parts of the country.

    And I will say this in a rough way, but don't mean to disparage Mr. Graham because I have great respect for his work and what he did for the music industry in his lifetime. But, folks who saw the Dead at his venues during this time frame got screwed. While folks at other venues across the country were likely paying one admission price to see two sets of Good Old Grateful Dead, at Bill Graham's haunts, one had to pay for an early show or a late show-- to see both sets they had to buy two tickets. For the 1/2/70 show, the folks who only saw the early show got about one hour of music with only one serious jam in The Other One. The late show was clearly where it was at.

    Maybe some folks who were seeing the boys in this time period can share stories about this. I didn't see a show until 1988, born in 1970-- it was a different world by my time. If you saw them at the one of the Fillmore venues, did you buy tickets to early and late to see both sets? If you saw them elsewhere, was it one admission for two sets or did they follow Graham's format, too?

    This has me very intrigued. Based upon this release, I am not certain I would have become a DeadHead if my first show was the early show on 1/2. While I like it fine, I know there is more music to follow-- at least 90 minutes. But if that was the entire show, not sure I would go back often. My reaction might have been, "That's it?" In two years, three hours is the norm for a GD show-- no late or early show.

    I also wonder how the band felt about it-- might have to re-read Phil and/or Bill's books to see if they touch on it. Bill Graham is making out nicely here with two sets of house tickets sold for the same amount of music as other venues got for one house. Did the band get two cuts from Bill for two sets to two separate audiences? Or did they get paid a percentage of the house regardless of where they played, in which case they came out all right too. Just curious about this after receiving this set.

    Re: Shipping Issues and Woodstock

    I, too, had a concern about tracking, and then #19377 showed up yesterday. Moral of the story: Take a deep breath 'cause it's coming.
    Thanks lovemygirl for the Woodstock heads up. I'm in for the 10 cd audio only (about $175 with shipping and tax).
    The complete box set is overkill for me, as I already have an original concert poster, director's cut dvd, Woodstock and Woodstock II LPs, and a 90 minute cassette of the GD and all the delays and ramblings (Jellystone Park etc.).
    Resellers and uber completists will like it, though.
    I had the privilege, as an 11 year old, to see the movie "Woodstock" in 1970 and, needless to say, that experience "opened my eyes".

With Real Gone Music re-releasing the Road Trips series, after already re-releasing the Dick's Picks series, I wonder if they might re-release that Winterland 1977 box, maybe an all music edition with generic packaging. I don't recall that release being limited edition, so it seems like there shouldn't be anything to stop them. Sure would be cool if they did.

Nappyrags, thanks for the info about Gus. I had no idea. In my youth I saw it as not a very serious song, I don't know why.

On another note, I just came back from seeing "Echo in the Canyon" a great music film about the musical explosion of 60's southern cali bands all living in Laurel Canyon. Highly recommend.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/30/movies/echo-in-the-canyon-review.html

Speaking of Real Gone.. it got me to revisit Road Trips 3.3 (just finished this morning). I had forgotten the end of that release including the bonus disc.. I completely overlooked the jam out of New Speedway Boogie that becomes a fully formed Nobody's Fault But Mine jam. Spectacular.. not sure how I overlooked this gem of a jam.

So glad this is being re-released.. if you don't have it.. this might be the last chance you have to get it at a reasonable price. It suffers a bit from the early show / late show shuffle, but it's classic nonetheless.

onward.. back to your regularly scheduled St. Stephen > The Eleven. Have a great weekend all.

JiminMD, I ordered that Real Gone reissue of the 5/15/70 Road Trips and it was supposed to be released on 6/14, however, the Real Gone site indicates that there was a manufacturing issue that delayed the release. I checked because my amazon order had a delivery date between August 1-September 18 and I was like, whaaaat...? Oh, well, no rush, rather get it a little late and have it right the first time instead of get a defective copy and wait for replacement. Just a heads up for anyone who ordered this and is still expecting to receive it in the near future.

Thanks for the heads up on the delay. I did order a spare.. my copy is showing signs of wear, I hate those Road Trip scratchy cardboard sleeves and I would hate to have to one day replace mine at secondary market prices. I'm a little down they don't come with the bonus discs. Oh well.. no bother.

and hell yes, crank out another few thousand Winterland 77's while you are at it. Too good not to have and too good not to have at the original release price.

oh, and check your pm.

....I'm Only The Piano Player.
Album covers I recall when I was a kid. My babysitter had this record.
Decades later, I understand.
Bear with me family.

I ordered the Fillmore 70 RT, and I got a message saying things got gummed up at the works (Warner Bros, I think...)
The overall message, as far as I can tell, is that we will be getting our orders as soon as they can stop being such mooks.

Road Trips 1.2 is still here on this site... and I got the bonus disc, and I just ordered it two weeks ago when (INSERT YOUR NAME) mentioned it! (Thank YOU by the way!!!) It is a fantastic release, if you like 77 Dead.

Peace

Listening to a fantastic aud. of 4-27-91 right now and it showcases the magic that can take place in the desert. Good grief, the second set is fantastic. ( I don't have the first set)
The sound for an audience source is crazy good...especially with the Sennheiser's turned up to eleven.
This one should be a candidate for The Normanizing and Dave's treatment...and I haven't even heard the first set...yet.
and if there's filler or a bonus disc...Bird Song from the next night is with Santana and it's one of the best you've probably never heard...but you NEED to...
Vegas day for me. I got copies of 5-30-92, 4-27/28-91.
:O)

I was reading an article on bluegrass music in the paper this morning, and got to thinking how little of this music I have actually heard. And that I never even got to hear the Old and in the Way album that came out in the 70s. So I had a look on Amazon to see what's available...and there seems to be quite a lot. The best one is probably the box set which features the both sets from 10/1/73 and 10/8/73...but that seems a bit much for me at this stage. So I have been looking at single sets that don't duplicate this material, but which are well thought of. Being in England, there are quite a few FM recordings out there. Two that have caught my eye are ones called "Breakdown" in the Acoustic Archive Series-although it doesn't say when it was recorded...or Live at the Boarding House 4/16/73.

Any recommendations would be welcome...if not, I will probably plump for a second hand copy of one of the above.
Cheers!

Yes, yes, and yes. Check out Bill Strings...right now. Seriously stop what you are doing, take a half hour and watch these right now. I still dont know how to embed videos after all these years. The last one is a video of him playing in a local music shop with his father. You can see this is some genuine shit right here. All 4 are amazing. Honestly this is the type of stuff that keeps coming out that makes everyone whose ever said theres no good new music from younger generations eat their foot. 😁😆

I saw Billy Strings for the first time a little over a month ago.. what a talent and so energetic. Check out Tommy Emanuel too.. Amazing on the acoustic guitar.

As for Old and in the Way.. if you just want to dip your big toe in, I would start with their original LP. As an added bonus, it's got the best artwork of the bunch.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_%26_In_the_Way_(album)

Speaking of great Road Trips.. today is the 45th anniversary of one part I of the Wall of Sound Road Trips (Road Trips vol 2.3).

Too bad they chop jobbed it, both shows should have been released in their entirety.. ah, Summer of '74. Comfort food for the mind. I know what I am listening to today.

This and the King Weir articles were two great reads. Regular folks, for the most part, just trying to take the edge off. Until everying spirals out if control.

Happy Fathers Day to all.

And it is not a job. I just spent two days sitting in the rain at an out of town soccer tournament. I hate soccer, but she loves it. Watched my daughter not give her best effort and they lost in the finals. Disappointed, yes. But, she had a blast.

I would not trade it for anything.

Hey Daverock
The Old and in the Way set with both complete shows that you mention is the one to get. The other 3 legitimate releases, including the original 1973 album, are all taken from these two shows. Also worth checking out is the new Good Ol Boys release from 1975, also featuring Jerry. Enjoy!

Gotta second the last comment. Billy Strings is wonderful, but get some Old and in the Way. Quintessential, must have Bluegrass. The second most influential Bluegrass Band, Bill Monroe being the King. Love the Hobo Song. It sort of speaks to me.

That High and Lonesome Sound.

Bluegrass, not so sure,, folk, I don't know.. The first time I saw him the words that come to my mind were The Hendrix of Acoustic Guitarists.

Eesshh, that was ridiculous.......like ten pages!

DAVEROCK; Old and In the Way is quintessential and one of the greatest and most influential Bluegrass albums of all time! And to think it was a bit of a lark for Jerry...
That Billy Strings is awesome, thanks to whoever turned us on to that, going to need to check more of that out...

JIMMD; yea that Emmanuel dude is amazing! My BFF turned me on when I was back home this spring. Though his playing is amazing, seems sort of a novelty., like not sure how much I could take in one sitting, but that doesn’t diminish my appreciation for his obvious huge talent....

WEED $; Colorado has taken in over a Billion! in tax revenue in the five years since legal Rec weed came on board....I think a Trump will use this issue to push himself over the top next election i.e., national legalization.....

6/15/85; spun this one up this Saturday......slightly disappointing from what I remember....decent show but definetly some slop, rebounded with 30 trips 69, 2/22? I believe it is? Real burner eh!

6/16/90; did this one on Sunday. Was at this show, out of retirement with my old buddy L. Estee, one of the last shows we hung out, and we had a great time. Recall it being a somewhat trippy show.....very West Coast inward energy versus that balls to the walls east coast energy....forgot about that sweet pre-drums jam etc...also neat song list.
God that whole trip was awesome. First time to the promised land; 3 x at the Ex, 2 JGB at the Warfield, and hanging with old Estee for 3 at the Heep! CALIFORNIA, knock, knocking on the Golden door!

The Persecution & Restoration of Dean Moriarty (On the Road)

Well I can’t understand what is wrong with the man
Don’t he know how he’s acting is long ago banned
Don’t you think it’s a shame, someone tell me his name
If we let him continue things may get out of hand…

Look at him laughing and carrying on
Like a hydrogen manic or an organic bomb
He’s alive like a child, so terribly wild
He has way too much freedom so of course he is wrong, he’s wrong yeah

He was born on the road in the month of July
And he’ll live on the road ‘til he sees fit to die
‘Cause he learned from the road how humanity cries,
How society lies, he sees with more than his eyes

Look at him running don’t he know how to walk
He’s just too damned cunning you can tell by his talk
You can tell he is rude, like a typical dude
If you want my opinion he belongs under lock…

One look in his eyes and you know he’s unsound
There’s no way to faze him he’s nobody’s clown
He’s as deep as the sea and he’s equally free
That’s why I fear him and hate him and wish he were down, was down yeah

Whether riding the rails out of Denver
Or bumming his friends’ cigarettes
He’s asking them all to remember
Making sure that they’ll never forget

So you’re curious ‘bout this man who I speak
‘Cause he tears you and scares you out of your sleep
I am sure that you’ll find, if you open your mind
That it’s you and not he who is really the freak…

So relax for a moment as you would for your hobby
His beauty abounds in his mind and his body
He’s like the setting sun’s hues, or the dust on his shoes
He’s living he’s naughty, he’s Dean Moriarty, yeah

Whether riding the rails out of Denver
Or bumming his friends’ cigarettes
He’s asking them all to remember
Making sure that they’ll never forget

The Deluxe Expanded edition of Capt. Fantastic is well worth owning. Not only do you get the entire original album, along with the bonus tracks of Phila. Freedom, Lucy in the Sky, One Day at a Time & House of Cards, but also a recording of the band playing the album live in its entirety and closing out with Pinball Wizard and Saturday Night's Alright. These days people mostly think of all the cheezoid stuff Elton did later, but he really rocked in this era.

.... but he did bring it.
I'm not one of those people Mr. Heartbreak. So many good songs.
If there was box set news I wouldn't be here.
The 70's. 👍

I think you could by-pass the whole capthcha bull by not signing out. I leave the site without signing out and I never have to do all that baloney. Just keep the site live by changing Web pages at the top of the heading. It works for me.

I stay signed in for the reason you give, but I seem to have to go through the captcha routine if I go a day without posting a comment - so take this as today's post !

Another odd thing that happens when I look on the board, is that if I go into any of the other headings already being signed in-how to put this...If I was to go now into one of the headline categories-"Store" for example, I seem to get signed out automatically. This doesn't normally bother me, as I tend not to buy from the Store...but I am wondering why this happens, and if I will be able to buy from the store when the time comes - with the new box announcement, for example. There will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth if I can't .

Thanks for the advice! I do what you suggest but once in a while I get logged out. I think this time was exactly what Daverock said, I checked out the store. It’s been sorta quiet here, like when theires a new thread, so I thought “hmm, maybe I should see if something new is going on” but nope, nothing new and no box 😩
This time the captcha was way worse than ever before, completely ridiculous! Multiple screens with reoccurring pictures popping up. If I had to do that everyday I would not participate even though this is about all the community I have these days.....
But thank you gentlemen for your kind advice!

I just listened to a really good sound board of this 12/18/73 show. Whoa. I don't think I've ever questioned one of Dick's picks, but I do wonder why he chose the 19th over the 18th. I guess I need to go back to DP Vol. 1 and hear what I'm forgetting. I know he regards the opening Hear Comes Sunshine as the GOAT / BOAT. I reckon he wanted to get that out there. But the way they were hacking up shows in those days, why not go 3 disc on that puppy and include WRS, Dark Star, EOTW, Wharf Rat, Sugar Mags, and UJB?

Hi Oroborous, you are right, it has been light here the last few days. Maybe a bit of box anticipation fatigue. I know I have it. We have waited to long since our last box announcement over a year ago.

Took out Dave's 4 last night in the basement wired stereo system. The sound quality on this 76 show is so damn good, with the exception of some weird distortion during Sugaree. You can really where the drums and Phil's base. Good job on this one for Healy. Not sure why this one sounds better than Dave's 18, which is a great show, but from my ears the sound quality doesn't even come close to Dave's 4 or Dave's 28.

Any Dave's 31 predictions yet? I have my money on a 1979 or 1980 show.

12/19/73 has its own charms

but 12/18/73 would have been just a _liiiiiittle_ better.

GET RID OF THAT CAPTCHA CRAP, WILL YA?

Agree with the author's view of the Summer of '85 tour. It's like someone is scanning this forum for article ideas..

Good to see they didn't call out VGuy and Keithfan for swinging from the balcony.
