    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*.

    *Re/ 1 Boxset...

    ...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 ...🙏❤️😎

    Bruce in the mountains

    Had a wonderful evening with Bruce Hornsby and the Noisemakers in the mountains of North Carolina last Wednesday at the Salvage Station. Set list:
    Great Divide
    Stander on the Mountain
    Fractals
    I'll take you there
    The way it is
    Tango King
    Pastures of Plenty
    Up with People
    Celestial Railroad
    Green, Green rocky road
    Every Little Kiss
    Echolocation
    Defenders of the Flag
    Big Rock Candy Mountain>Candy Mountain Run
    Little Sadie>White Wheeled Limo>Liberty Valance
    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)

    Oro strawberry beer, Yassss

    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!

    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!

    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.

I know this might be a reach, but maybe it is a Chicago run. He referenced High Fidelity which was a movie based in Chicago, and Til the morning comes was not only a Dead song but a Peter Cetera song and as we all know he is was in Chicago. Now what Chicago run could it be?

I’m going on record and say it is 3 last shows Brent played. 07/21/90, 07/22/90, and 07/23/90. Played at Tinsley Park (Chicago) with a Queen Jane on night one.

Fuck that reCRAPTCHA shit.

My previous post required around 20 reCRAPTCHA screens.
This past weekend I ended up just deleting a post because the reCRAPTCHA wouldn’t end.

If TPTB are trying to dissuade us from posting on this site, they may end up getting their wish.

I was thinking it might be a 69 show but I don't think TPTB would release a 69 show right after releasing a 70 show. Now if it's a Chicago show I'd go with 1/30/78, 1/31/78 or 2/1/78 the reason being that it's been awhile since we had an official release from 1978.

Hit me like a diamond bullet in the brain-its 1976, surely. The reference to putting the Dead cds away for a while, to take them out when the morning comes could be a reference to their sabbatical at the end of 1974, and subsequent re-emergence in 76. Taking into account the fact that there hasn't been proper 76 box yet-a couple of Dicks Picks were 4 cd 2 show sets - then this seems most likely. I would prefer Fall 1972-but I can't see it myself.

For all fans of the post Syd, pre Dark Side Floyd, I would recommend the new remaster of Phaedra by Tangerine Dream. Its part of the new box set, but all the studio albums have been released individually. They are as cheap as chips and this one, the best of the bunch, sounds amazing. They seemed to me to take the space music Pink Floyd played as a basis for their own development. Mainly electronic keyboards, but you can't dance to it.

Whoops, I've got that "I'm not a robot thing" to do now. Maybe they think my post is potentially subversive.

I think you might be onto something Daverock. Also, from the first Bolo clue:
"Trapped....from earth......for what seemed like a decade......." "grace of God" "good to be back although my soul is still drained and weakened"

the decade= 65-75, grace of God = Blues for Allah

I'd love a 76 box. I've been listening to a lot of 76 lately. The instrumental blend is so perfect, really as good as pre-hiatus.

Happy 4th folks! I'd love to tag along with you, in spirit, HF on the Yampa! I'll be quiet, (in spirit), and you won't even notice I'm there.... it looks wonderful!

...I’d like More 1979 please, Ill take my 3 sugars and cream with coffee,lol!
Also some 70’-72’, 76’, 82’-89’ or 90’-94’ would be welcomed as well, as long as the “Audio Quality” is Primo! 😉 which is my top priority for a Full Performance vs a Compilation Piece like the ‘Road Trip Series’...who am I kid’n, I love it all, “feed me Seymour!” Lol ha ha...

Been listen’n & enjoying my, ‘Fillmore West 1969’ boxset, my favorite boxset Release to date, for now...
peace be with you all my fellow brothers & sisters. Long live the Grateful Dead! 🙏❤️💀

high fidelity would mean that the shows were recorded to reel to reel.

2-track or multi-track recordings or both. That should narrow it down a bit.

Edit:

Looks like it's Betty Boards from '76 along with 7/18/76.

First off, let the guy hang here without projecting his comments as clues. Okay, but because his subject line was about our patiently waiting -- a kind but total mis-read, this place is getting hot -- I put my naivete aside and join the speculation.

I don't have much, and he leaves us wondering if he's taunting about DaP 31 or the new box, but...

"every once in a while" could be completed as "get shown the light," a reference to Scarlet Begonias? "Under the bed" (no one puts their GD CDs on the floor under the bed, Bolo has book and CD shelves) ... probably means something. And "til the morning comes" could be a reference to when Morning Dew arrives. (Any shows with Scarlet and Dew?) Also, his line breaks are suspicious -- inviting a naive idjit like me to seek a pattern.

Goddammit Bolo, ya got me going again. Well played!

from underneath a bedroom cabinet and it has my Download series CD's ...I had lost the files due to an HD crash so yes yes and yes...threw Vol 12 disc 2 in and had a great listen to St Louis '69...cracked up hearing Jerry say "Ok we have to stop playing or the police will take our road manager to jail..." at the end of an aborted "Caution"...also the bonus stuff at the end of the show is a rehearsal of The Eleven & Duprees recorded at the Avalon...have to star ripping these discs back to a couple of externals I use now, 8 TB both...some fun

Never in a million years would I have thought that some folks might construe my latest post to be some sort of clue regarding the identity of a box set or DaP31. My apologies, as I'd NEVER want to mislead, confuse or otherwise discombobulate any of the kind souls here on this forum (cough...cough).

But, of course, the post was a clue. Not for the aforementioned products people are breathlessly anticipating, but for a "What's Taking So Dang Long?" contest. Something to do as we all mill aimlessly around while DL casually looks at his watch and ponders the summertime flora and fauna of Vancouver Island.

A careful read of my last entry will reveal a specific venue and associated concert(s). The first person to post the correct answer will receive an assortment of GD-related goodies valued at more than $100, but less than $1 million. As a bonus, if you can name the song that was played for the first time at said show(s), I'll throw in some extra ephemera.

Only one guess per screen name (no screen names created after July 1, 2019). Just post your conjecture here, and the earliest correct answer will get the goods.

Cheers and good luck!

I'm guessing the full Fillmore East run from 9/17/70-9/20/70, since "Till the Morning Comes" was first played on 9/18.
Though I could be wrong.
I mean, I usually am.
Until I'm not.
But even then just barely.
I'd dig a '76 box, but "September 70: Fillmore East the Complete Recordings" is my official guess.
Officially.

Everyone is guessing dates from 1970 for DaP #31 with the "Til the Morning Comes Line"....I seriously doubt it is from 1970, that's what DaP #30 was from!!?!!

Perhaps it's the Harding Theatre..

The Felt Forum is tucked away under MSG and sort of hidden in the bowels of the NY Subway. Not that I have ever gotten a single one of the bolo riddles so far...….

If we can believe Bolo.. this is not a clue to the next release, which probably means it will be Dave's Picks 31.

It will be announced tomorrow and will be one of the 4th of July shows.

In my best Colbert voice,,,,, send me award!

Are they for the Box Set or DaP31? Or both?

Predictions:
DaP31 - 6/3/76 Paramount Theater - Portland, Or.
5 songs make their debut/1st performance:
1. Might As Well (opener)
2. Lazy Lightnin' >
3. Supplication (both middle of 1st set)
4. Samson And Delilah (2nd set opener)
5. The Wheel (encore)

I know it's not a favorite but I think this show has my favorite version of 'Looks Like Rain'…BW and DJG are spot-on with vocals and harmonies as JG 'rains' notes around them.

Box Set:
Texas '72 - 11/19, 11/22, 11/24, 11/26. Rhino needs to hit a home run with this one…the last thing they need is another box set sitting in their warehouse. If that happens we may only see box sets every 2 years?

Box Set Dark Horse:
December '69: 12/20, 12/21, 12/26, 12/28-12/31. Includes the legendary Ark run. It would also be the 1st time Rhino tied a Box Set and a DaP together: last shows of '69 and the 1st shows of '70.

I have no idea if the shows are in the vault but it would be a win-win either way!

Sheesh. This contest was over almost before it started!

Congrats to Richard Torres, correctly guessing the Harding Theatre, two 1971 shows, Hide Away made its GD debut.

Send me your address via PM and I'll get you your box o' goodies. Unless you're the same Richard Torres from the NSA who oversaw the implantation of an evil minibot on my cerebral cortex during my first alien abduction. If you're that guy, forget I was even on here.
