    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*.

    Xmass Morning! and Moving

    Ok mom and dad time to get up so we can open our presents 🎁!
    Hope it’s
    A) a bad ass Dark Star,
    B) Some kick ass 80s or perhaps 90s?
    So many great guesses; 7/25/74 boo-yah, 7/13/84, 93, 79s, 69, all sound good.....hopefully it’s something a little different? No offense but something outside the usual bubble would be nice!
    Was at that 3/13/81 show on the rail, another good under the radar show....

    Hopefully the box is 69 or Fall with Philly 89, though some nice 91 be ok, say those Fall Cleveland shows?
    Would love that zfall 72 box, but maybe not this year...of course summer 85, but that ain’t gonna happen soon : (

    MOVING: been in that process for over a year now.....new place is awesome but dam I wish I was twenty years younger! Funny because I was getting bored with life and bitching to the misses about “this routine is killing me” lol, Now I’m so worn out I can’t wait for the routine again. ; ) Good Luck, Hope it all works out!! and

    Get well Cisco, Wuff!
    Ok, tee minus 10 minutes and counting

    Haven't ID'd the show yet, but the 3 songs were played on 10/28/79, 12/3/79, 10/23/80, 2/26/81, 3/13/81, 7/5/81, and 9/25/81

    I Was Wondering....

    ....what about Gainesville?

    Got back from a week vacation with Ingrid in Colorado; hit the two Boulder D&C shows, then spent a lot of time in Rocky Mountain National Park and the Estes Park area. Absolutely stunning, beautiful sights and views.

    Then came home to an astonishing ying/yang: allow me to explain. The day we left for our vacation we put an offer in our absolute *dream home* ten miles west of our current location; at the very last second, buyers came in with all cash and took it out from under us. We were totally bummed. Went on vacation, allowed that letdown to disappear into the mountains with us.

    Upon our return last Friday, enter the ying and yang. It turns out our old english sheepdog Cisco had a spontaneous pneumothorax, which is essentially a spontaneous lung collapse. The very same night we hear back from our realtor that the other buyers backed out and do we still want that house. FUCK YEAH! But then that overwhelming joy was definitely tempered by our big pup landing in the throes of this major health issue.

    We brought him to the vet and they hooked him up with breathing tubes. Took xrays, couldn't find the leakage point. Waited another day, then they took a CT scan and finally were able to find the perforation and last night he went into surgery to repair the damage. He's out as of late last night and seems to be super groggy as of this AM but hopefully he'll be able to come off those meds a bit and fingers crossed he'll bounce back.

    It was really touch and go there for a bit though, as they noted that if they were unable to find the actual location of the air leakage, there wasn't a whole heck of a lot they could do. At the moment, all signs are pointing to the positive. But wow, what a major whirlwind of a week or two. Now, we are in full steam to get our house ready for sale and it should go very quickly...here's to hoping.

    Now let's see what Dave's 31 has in store. It's Gainesville, right?

    Hope you cats are all doing well.

    Just that is Worth the price of admission. Would be a cool show for release and also follow up previous releases with another Slipknot.

    I'm pulling for 3.16.73

    12.11.79 would be sweet also ship of fools terrapin station are excellent

    My official guess....

    I'm going with July 25th 1974, Chicago, the last Dark Star to be released from that year*

    * Caveat- technically 6/23/74 was not released in its entirety. An edited version that included I think Spanish Jam and us blues was released on so many roads.

    Yeah it's a risky guess considering the box set last year had three shows from 1974, but at the end of the day this is Dave's Picks and there hasn't been a 1974 release since let me see here... Was it Coattail Skeletons from Selland? #17. Long time ago., over 3 years. Relatively speaking, that is an eternity in Daves picks releases for any given single year of the 70s.

    Final Guess

    Oh man, I really like that Kansas City guess of 12/11/79 from RichardTorres, but my final guess is Brent’s first show 04/22/79, Spartan Stadium, San Jose State University. Box set will be 69 Ark....

    Dennis - thanks for posting...that’s a fun read!

    Ladies and Gentleman - this is the one that pulled me down the rabbit hole a few years ago, and then I met Doc. After telling him my affection for this release, other shows started showing up in my inbox especially 71s. Thanks Doc!

    Speaking of 71 and also spacey Dark Stars....07/31/71 Yale Bowl is a good one from the Road Trips Series. Was able to listen to most of the Road Trips series this weekend.

    My dogs name is Whistler, but I doubt it was him. When he tries it through his teeth he spits.

    Not being a seasoned tour veteran, I did not realize how serious this issue of “talking at shows” was until my tour experience this summer. Luckily I like to dance and do very little to no talking during a concert, however I did notice a guy handing out business cards that said “Is the Band interfering with YOUR conversation”?, and I traded him a button for one. I totally get it, Sucks to have some loud mouth distract from your experience, but to go around looking for folks to hand those out too seems a little distracting as well...just sayin. I also saw some T-shirt’s that said the same thing, which should work well if the talker is sitting behind you...providing, of course-that, that person is at least paying attention enough to read it.

    Singing off key to lyrics....Erghh, no comment, accept I’ve never stood in a chair, at least not that I remember!

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!

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...

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!

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.
