    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.

    posted again for slow dog noodle - USPS not UPS

    I received the shipping email with the tracking number over a week ago. Every time I checked the shipment was going nowhere. The tracking number goes to the UPS website so I copied the tracking number and pasted into the USPS website and it says it should be delivered today. Everyone who is seeing that the UPS tracking as not giving the shipment status try going to the USPS site.

    Favorite team vs. a good game

    Depends on the sport. Ask any lifelong Red Sox fan if they would give up coming back from an 0-3 deficit and beating that team from ny in 2004 for not having to endure generations of disappointment. Not a single one of them would. That is why it was so meaningful.

    As for the sports themselves.

    Squeakball is a joke. I could care less who wins. It is unwatchable.

    Baseball is not far behind. I only watch the post season any more, but even that is becoming less frequent.

    Football? Rapidly losing interest in that as well. Go ask the NO Saints why.

    To me, hockey is (or at least was) the lone remaining sport yet to be defiled. The players, for the most part, are in it for the game and to win the Cup. Not the money. There is no money in hockey. That is why I like it.

    I'll take a good hockey game regardless of the outcome over my team winning every time. I am a Red Wings fan and have no allegiance to the outcome this year. The third period last night was some great hockey. Watched and enjoyed every minute.

    But, the refereeing this post season has really soured me. Taking that goal away last night was egregious. It goes against everything the sport is supposed to stand for. You want to take a goal away because a player who is a 100 feet away and has his back to the play is a bit too slow getting off the ice. Fine. Then take it away. But at least be consistent and give the Avalanche a "too many men" penalty as well. Simpletons.

    The sport has been played for generations where it is accepted that during line changes, the player going onto the ice jumps a fraction or so before his counterpart gets off the ice. Never a problem unless you are involved in the play. He wasn't.

    Disc 3

    I pretty much feel like disc 3 alone is worth the cost of this release. Haven't had a chance to listen to the bonus disc yet, and my initial listens of discs 1 and 2 were pleasant but distracted. Currently giving disc 3 a second listen and digging this Dark Star a lot, particularly when they launch into the jam of Soulful Strut starting about 23 minutes into the Dark Star. I know that a lot of people refer to this recurring jam as the Tighten Up jam, but if you compare it to Soulful Strut by Young-Holt Unlimited I think you'll hear the similarities, particularly the melody, whereas it does not sound like Tighten Up by Archie Bell and the Drells. The example in the 10/31/71 Jam after Dark Star is strikingly similar to Soulful Strut and is probably the best version to hear the similarities.

    Dead Night in the City of Light / Day of the Dead

    I just finished up the second Paris show and Bickershaw.

    Bickershaw is a fantastic show. Everyone knows about the great Dark Star into The Other One. Everyone knows about the great Lovelight . Check out the Rider, BTW, and the PITB. Of course they're all great on this tour, but this show features a snapier Garcia on those three tracks. Black-Throated Wind - did it ever sound better than Europe 72? Keith is very audible throughout most of the show too, which is tragically not the case for many on this tour. Don't get me started on the engineering...

    Butch - yeah, didn't you read the story I posted about emailing him for the tracklist of the bonus disc? We tight :D. No, but seriously, he had nothing to do with it and I've never met him. The RFK thing was something that I did to let him know that all of us message "Board Heads" would gobble up a 1973 RFK two show mini box. He was gracious enough to reply to me ( I say gracious, because I imagine he has more work to do on a day-to-day basis then I can even imagine; so for him to take the time to reply to it was a gesture that I think goes beyond his call of duty). In any event, his reply about the RFK possibility was one that he preferred I kept between us, so I did. He was going to give us a shout out on the next Seaside chat, but I think he forgot.

    Darkstar - apology accepted, no worries. Sometimes things tldon't come across in writing the way we intend.

    I saw a Golden Gate Park video from 1991 of the Dead playing Touch of Grey. I guess there's a whole video floating around somewhere. That was fun to watch.

    Now I have to somehow fit Buffalo '77 in. Take two hundred and seventy-six, you know this used to be fun...

    1/3, AVs, Weed

    1/3/70; only superficial listen so far but besides that amazing disc three, I’m with the 1/3 crowd. Perhaps my reference point was more in order for 1/3, but overall it does seem to be a bit tighter etc. Also think perhaps there’s a little more energy from 1/3s first show versus 1/2...... of course all that is splitting hairs as both have their yin/yang, and so far none of it can compare with that monster Dark Star and all of disc three. (Had to check that out again!)
    Imho that was more than worth the $25 bucks right there!
    And like Jim says, it’s a great snapshot of GD history and though perhaps there is more sloppy stuff on here than normal for a Dave’s, it is interesting to experience them figuring things out. Perhaps not unlike the first Estimated and Terrapin from the last release. Those obviously were a little farther along and the band was hitting a new stride then, but same idea. I’m sure the stuff they started on later in the year will be even more raw and unpolished and with less of the monster jams, but one could argue that 72 wouldn’t have been so great without this transitional period?

    AVS; we’ll they came to play but you can’t beat the cosmic forces of sports, or the refs.....I’m not that invested in it, hell not that into any sports anymore, like A.J.S., or cone Kid?, says it’s not worth it, and this is a good example why.....it seems to me that more and more things are not say “fixed,”, but that the various leagues seem to sometimes help certain teams along, which since it’s all about money now is not surprising. From what I saw of the last three Knights games and the whole AVs series it does seem like their a tad pro Sharks....and yes that NO GOAL still is hard to swallow even after all these years. There is no way the Sharks should of made it out of round one, even without the “call”!
    I watched money ruin my precious childhood love for Baseball, the NFL is a fucking joke now, and Hockey is following the same path, sigh.......but that’s why then and now I always felt like you won with the Dead, even a meh night was better than most sports!
    WEED; all y’all have gone round most of this, but as someone who has seen so much go on with this issue for many decades now, and who lives in a Green state, I would just like to make a few points....
    - Generally didn’t dig Wrecked’s post, but sorta can relate to the concern about a majority of folks being high all the time. The thing is, the evidence has clearly shown that usage among the general population has not changed, which is what the initial research before legalization suggested. In other words just because it’s legal, doesn’t mean the whole world is using it. Which is good only because;
    - The only real issues that the authorities and the media have reported is the miss use of, especially edibles, usually by out of state tourists who are not properly informed or experienced. This to me is just another case of irresponsible behavior, which IMO is the problem with most things.....it’s no so much the substance (s), it’s wether it’s used responsibly or not. Similar to the whole “guns don’t kill people, people kill people” argument. It’s not the weed, it’s the misuse off. So education, or mentoring like most of us old timers got when starting out is the more logical answer, not locking people up!
    The cool related thing is here, if your outta state, the bud tenders will try to question, suggest, and give guidance, but of course you can lead a horse to water, but......
    The other issue in Colorado, is they left the home grown thing a bit too loose i.e., quantity, so that the black market folks have an easier time with illegal grows and then are transporting it through other non legal states who are going out of their way to find it, then bitching about how much it’s costing their states to fight it. This also has led to a whole profiling situation not unlike being a Deadhead on the road back in the eighties!
    But the biggest problem I see, and perhaps relates to Trainwrecked’s comments, is the ole “careful what you wish for”.
    Meaning, the cops now are going way out of their way to look for illegal use especially with driving etc. They have been in a frantic rush to try to quantify thc in the same unconstitutional methodology they employ for alcohol.
    Don’t get me wrong, there are unfortunately too many people who are not responsible, don’t have enough experience, have acquired no tolerance and/or who’s bodies metabolize these substances differently than most.
    So though I believe there needs to be some criteria, once again, the law is going about it all wrong, and many innocent folks are going to get fucked! But that’s part of what you get when you create for profit government institutions, but I digress, sorry!
    All I’m saying is be careful folks and be safe! Here it is almost the norm now for a search for any traffic stop, probable cause or not. That is one of the shitty consequences of legalization......

    1/3/70 Bonus Disc....

    Is superb!!!!!!!!!! Non-subscribers need to reassess just based on this one! :) Anyway - I dont know if its blasphemy or not, but aside from the Dark Star and Pig rave-ups on 1/2 Im really enjoying the 1.3 stuff a bit more - the Cryptical- Other One is epic and lush and frenetic and fucking beautiful. They just seem a little more "on" and the ,ix seems more balanced. Agree with some others that Phil's bass always says yes, but sometimes his vocals say "no" and there are a few rough spots with his voice. But isnt that what we love about this band - the humanity of it? The total experience of a Dead show could sometimes be a microcosm of the larger game we all are playing - things move from cringe worthy and unstructured to transcendent and harmonious for a few splendid moments before the entropy takes hold again. But you still gotta be a grateful participant in both high tide and low and keep trying! The ride IS the destination :) That was always the message I got from this band and their music! So Phil's shrieks are, in thier own way, just as welcome as his bass lines rocket launching me into into Never ever land! :)

    His last post earlier included the language " at the Oakland Coliseum Arena, where I spent many, many nights listening to the GOGD."...this seems to hint towards an Oakland Coliseum Box Set, the GOGD played end of the year shows there from 1979-1982, bring it on!!

    My main guess would still be a Warfield Box Set....how long do we have to wait & why are they selling that ridiculous Woodstock Box set on dead.net?!?!

The Victm>Foolish transition seemed quite interesting at the time.

Was in the front row the next night (my friend got them from mail order - thanks GDTS). The first night we were 2nd row off the floor in the back with my GDTS tix.

I’m curious why the SBDs from those shows aren’t in circulation.

Doubtful.. more likely select lines from Friend of the Devil, Touch of Grey and Truckin' which she will know doubt try to impress us with by staggering back and forth while standing on her chair, flicking a lighter and singly quite loudly, out of key, and one step out of time to two thirds of the lyrics of Friend of the Devil and Casey Jones.

I don't know.. Perhaps this sounds cranky.. but why do people with such limited exposure and understanding feel the need to write about it on a large platform and describe exactly what it's all about. On the bright side.. at least she wasn't talking the entire show while overconsuming makers mark and beer after beer while yelling JJERRRRYYYYYYY during each and every solo.

Ok.. I will get back to kicking hippies off my lawn. As you were. Deep breath, exhale, all better now. Anyone is welcome to walk across my front lawn.

I don't know, seems like a sterile version of the original parking lot. It may be that my last show was 95'. She was brave though, taking some pill in this era. I'd rather keep the memories of old then take a chance at disappointment. At least that's my opinion.

Could have been a decent song if it didn’t have any words.

Easy Answers = bathroom trip
Wave to the wind = bathroom trip
Vince = bathroom trip

If 2 or more of those came up in a show you were stuck listening to the one(s) that came after the bathroom trip.

Corinna could evolve into a good jam sometimes, but I was always disappointed to hear the opening chords.
First Corinna was 2-23-92.

David Crosby - guitar, vocals
Jerry Garcia - lead guitar, vocals
Phil Lesh - bass
Mickey Hart - drums

This is a trip. Originally broadcast on KSAN, 12/15/70 from The Matrix, SF.

It really feels like a bootleg. Maybe some of you are familiar. It's loose and sloppy and I'm loving it.

Jerry is pretty "on."

From the five-disc box, "The 1970 Broadcasts."

Also a hoot, is the current Rolling Stone feature which has David Crosby answering readers questions about life, etc.

Crosby was a mess for decades, but as it goes, has become a wise old sage. God bless him.

Again, hard to believe we will looking at another seaside chat for Dave's 31 before we get the news on this year's box, but that appears to be the case.

Might be time for the first 79 release. Last 79 release was RT.3.1, which is outstanding!

The box will not be '66, '67 or '68; agreed? All short shows, not many in the vault, questionable sales appeal. Edit:(Okay, I'd personally dive on any such releases, esp. '67 and '68. Killing my own arguments at the get-go.)

They just handed us two excellent '70 shows and have to hold the few remaining '70 shows for the 50th pairings with Workingman's and American Beauty and some for future DaPs. The box will not be '73-'74; they did that last year. That leaves '69, '71, '72 and '89 and '91.

To me the decision has to be tied to the music, the vault and sales.

The music: what will broadly appeal to the die-hards AND general public?

The vault: what year is well-supplied with useful tapes, so that a box will not deplete it?

The sales: shows with broad appeal, and affordable. Affordable is pretty much an issue of how many shows/discs. (Answer: 4-6 shows, 10-20 discs.) I think they'll lean slimmer than last year's 6 shows/19 discs to make it more affordable. On the other hand, these ARE limited edition boxes, so maybe "broad appeal" only applies within the tuned-in Dead market -- meaning, at many post '95 shows by later incarnations of the GD, I tried talking to people about the vault output and they had NO IDEA about Dave's Picks, etc. A huge # of people are into the concert scene and not the archival releases, bless their pointy little heads.

1969 passes all these tests and has the anniversary thing going for it. Yet they just put out Aoxomoxoa with a January '69 live disc. (Get Shown the Light in 2017 was synched to an anniversary, but that's the exception so far. )

1971 passes all these tests for me, yet I'm not sure -- forensic doc's efforts not withstanding -- how broadly appealing '71 is to die-hard fans. Same question might be applied to '69.

Okay, now we come to my favorite dead horse, which I have flogged mercilessly: 1972. Consistently hot shows. Tons of fall '72 in the vault ("tons" = ~25-30?). Broad appeal, good buzz factor (same year as Euro '72). Surefire sales: who's going to turn down a '72 box? Who??

Finally, I think '89 and '91 are a bit obscure performance-wise and may divide the market; older heads might pass, and those who caught that era are now in their 50s (mere kids, "heh heh heh," in a creepy voice).

Yet, I have to wonder how sales would go with The Ark three-show box, Capitol Theater '71 or even my favored fall '72 (c'mon, that'd sell like laced hotcakes).

To re-formulate my usual lackluster quip: I'm usually wrong. And I'll be fascinated to see what they've got in the works. Now that I think of it, 1979 is precisely 40 years ago and holds many tapes (I choose to believe, with no knowledge whatsoever) and hot shows. Who knows? As with PNW, perhaps they choose a venue like Red Rocks for '79; only, just one of three August '79 shows was at the Rocks, the other two at McNichols, the old Denver shed.

Okay, now I'm rambling badly and posting it. I say a week from Monday (July 8) we'll know. Dead & Co. will be back home, patching their bones. GarciaLive v. 11 shipping notices will be out and DaP 31 not yet announced.

I'm calling fall '72 box, with a '91 or '79 for DaP 31...

Richfield 9/4-6/91

I was there. all three shows smoked. Highly recomended. The 1st and 3rd nights were A+ top grade perfromances. One of the best Scarlet>Fires, a Birdsong for the ages, the secondset sequence of 9/6 is executed with perfection.

The Giants Stadium shows recorded onto 48 track analogue would be an obvious 2 show box to coincide with the Meet Up.

I have to have this when it comes out. My life would not be complete without it.

Arc would be cool too. Anything '89 2 thumbs up.

These verify pics are hard to see. Hate that. Hassle.

Carlo13 you cracked me up a bit with your Jerry banjo comment! Kinda brings me back to "them daze".

BTW, did anyone grab the vinyl AND cd of the Warfield? I have the cd and I think I'm digging it the most out of the latest releases, but wondered if the vinyl differed in any way from the cd (which has a complete dearth of liner notes, accompanying booklet, or photos of the band, etc.)

P.S. I finally picked up the Shrine '67 vinyl (mainly for the cover art which I like on my wall.

P.S.S. Great Calls on something from Brent Fall 1979 some of those tapes are really well recorded!

Kind of strange that the interviewer called John belushi a nutball. Seemed like bill thought the same.

“Roll right through the night...”
SPACEBRO: “so glad you made it”...ditto Wilfred.....yasss, those Richfield shows go under the radar but where mighty tasty....believe that was the last or near last time I hung with my old amigo Lee Esdee...remember camping nearby sea world with previously mentioned, now 21 year old girl friend, me 28, and tent loving all night to the unbelievable sound of the whales.....whoooaaaa...

CARLO: yassss, use to space about why/what if JG threw down some badass BG....though not in the GD context but alas, perhaps lack of due to another side affect of the Jones etc? Fortunately we got at least the 90 Grisman et el stuff!
Virtual, cyber? Kegger, pssstttttt, that’s me opening the last growler of that tasty strawberry daze ale.....till next year!

JIMMD: “Ark You!”.......and of course I mean that in a good way 😀

LEDEAD: thanks for the awesome article! Had not seen that one! Nice long, candid one too. Love Billy K but sometimes.....not here though!
EDIT: interesting AB comments considering recent related posts here.....

DAVEROCK: will have to listen/analyze for the River/fingers correlation.....personally also thought L.R.R. and many of late era JG ballads were favs, if maybe a bit too many? Seemed to fit the vibe near the end days...perhaps just projecting my maturing? Moving on feelings/“growing up”.....ok, that’s too much thinking for this time and space???

C.J: and so it begins....! ; )

BobT: thanks! Glad to see ya...sorry, believe you told me/us this already....sorry for repeats Uncle! ; )

HF: eh, who you calling a kid ; )
and, ....ramble on baby!....I can’t speak for the rest of this ship of fools, but I dig your rambles!
I Like most of what you postulate, yasss, know I would truly dig any primal Dead, but your probably right about marketing/economics here....very interesting about your post GD observations vis a vis releases versus live. Perhaps a correlation with the younger gen/no stuff thing? Cool that kids are still pro live versuses memorex....perhaps we’re so rabid about releases due to the age/nostalgia bug and trying to relive etc, while the youngins are trying to actually live their own legacy, which is nice!
Think 69 might get more traction than you think? I know I’d dig that shite, ark, ark, ark! Woof! ......perhaps those that are neophytes would just bye and end up blown away?....
71? Know many here would love that spring stuff, not sure that would sell well with the casuals? (No offense to the Doc if yee lurkith?...miss ya boss!) Personally late 70 through pre Kieth 71 is not on my top wish lists, which is ironic cause skull fuck was sorta the final indoctrinating straw for moi. Sure I’d learn to love it like a red headed step child 😉
Your thoughts on fall 72 are not wrong....know I’d dig some big ass meaty Dark Stars etc ala previous releases....and agree 72 is pretty much money with this crowd. Also, been about time since 8/25 which was great in my minds eye, but perhaps not equal to some fall deep space 9 mojo? Imho.
Not disagreeing with your logic per 89-91, but perhaps the music is strong enough, and maybe overlooked enough, while having enough fans, especially with lack of inventory so far, that a small but solid 91 outing would trend well enough? Getting a 69 vibe myself, perhaps only in a dog sense kinda way, but hey, that shit has worked as much as logic and empiricism!

And in these days in GD history......spinning 6/27/85, which has a bit of slop/ occasional JG vocal mishaps, but imo is more than made up for with chutzpah, and shining diamond moments of psychedelic golden yummies, and a neat set list! Oye, the energy! Followed by 6/28/85 which is one of my favs; both @ and recording....again a bit of the first set “slop” but grows into a beast....remeber it was not a pleasant day. But the set up was awesome; like high school stadium, not too crowded, with PA in true stereo imaging set up, small delay towers on the ground behind the board, no cranes needed! But because of the elements they had plastic protection over everything; PA, stage gear etc until sometime in the 2nd...believe Estinmated into Terrapin? Eventually it cleared up with the stars out and they peeled off that plastic protection off, Healy started to crank it (which we were truanting him to do as we were hanging in front of soundboard per usual), and things started getting progressively better from there...started to warm up a bit too, which eventually led to moi overheating, but that’s another story that I shall only replay upon request.
Anywho, interesting first, followed by “continued singing in the rain” one of my fav Music Never Stopped”, my first Tom Thumbs, a solid Estimated, good Terrapin, great experientially, followed by one of my favorite spaces, complete with some serious 3D holographic, moving, Healy shit, woooooooooo, (recordings do not begin to capture this phenomena!), into a slamming Miracle, and perhaps my all time favorite Dew (very influenced by passing grandfather,) psychedelic, personal, cathartic variables, but to me still transcend all that even today....with a strong Stones/NFA, but unfortunately a bit of a let down with the Day Job encore....by then to my gang that one had kinda run its course. Dug it in like 83 etc, but eventually wore itself out...?
Followed all this off with first set of of 6/27/87 which is decent, tight 87ish, and now into the wee hours we’re bringing it all home with 6/25/88 mix of all of the first (“we don’t just let anyone sit in on accordion”) and the second first half mix of Victum, Blow Away, and Foolish, which were firsts for our gang...kinda of shitty conditions there though at the time..recall not feeling it so much then, but recording has remained a nice summer time fav.....
Tomorrow hopefully, finally, get to dig into PNW 6/24&26/73 shows....boo-yah!
So much Dead, so little time!....
And too all a goodnight!
Have a greatful weekend mi amigos!

Thanks for tormenting me on the strawberry beer bro!! Now I am going out first thing tomorrow and find me some S. B. To quench my beer jones. I'll see if they have strawberry daze ale, if not I'll get any kind they have. I will let you know the results. It is funny that I have not bought a growler in ages. I think it's high time I start growling again. Peace!

Stander on the Mountain
Fractals

Tango King
Pastures of Plenty
Up with People
Celestial Railroad

Every Little Kiss
Echolocation
Defenders of the Flag
Big Rock Candy Mountain>Candy Mountain Run

Great jams especially the Candy Mountain Run, had the audience rocking and we all danced all night. 2.5 hr show with no breaks. Great Grateful Dead cover band on after the Bruce show who's opening song was Estimated Prophet, and they did an excellent job. Phunkle Sam is the name of the band and they are very well versed in Grateful Dead tunes.
If you get a chance, catch Bruce this time around, had a good time with some excellent tunes played along the river with fireflies dancing around us most of the evening, awesome. Check out Bruce's new lp also, it's worth a listen.
Box set, I'll take some 91 Bruce and Vince this time around, it's time to break these shows out, they were great.
Last 6:
Jules and the Polar Bears, Phonetics
Steppenwolf, Live
Cheech and Chong, Big Bambu
Mahogany Rush, Child of the Novelity
Bruce Hornsby, Absolute Zero
Stomu Yamashta, Go (with Steve Winwood and Michael Shrieve)

...a show of hands please for a “Warfield Anniversary Boxset, October 1980, celebrating the Grateful Dead's 15th Anniversary.” A perfect blending of older cuts from the Dead's extensive repertoire with performances of the Dead’s acoustic sets & Electric ...🙏❤️😎
