    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.

    Mild Diversion

    Woke up this morning a little after 7 to a crisp low humidity 52 degrees, brewed a fresh pot of some fine Ethiopian coffee I roasted yesterday.. and decided to hit the front porch to watch the hummingbirds and check out TIGDH on SiriusXM (6/22/85 Alpine Valley).

    I forgot.. they do this big road bike race called the Gran Fondo in the county where I live… so multitudes of road bikers zoom past the house all day long. Very cool.. I got to hell Get of my Grass, Hippies to hundreds of people.. There's a 1,000 foot downhill section that ends just as you pass my house, then they cross the river and climb....

    It's a multi-tiered race attracting 1,000.. the hardest race is the Diabolical Double.. 126 miles with over 16,500 feet of climbing. There's some sick, twisted people out there.. There are easier races. Anyway.. most enjoyable to tell 1,000 people to stay off my grass.

    Sorry for the diversion, back to your regularly scheduled Day Job Encore.

    Looking at the post below this one, its surprising to see a v.d clinic advertising on here. Anyway...

    Orobouros-London is great and terrible at the same time. I am very lucky, swanning about to art galleries and concerts. King Crimson played at The Royal Albert Hall, one of the most luxurious venues in town. But...there are abandoned bodies just lying on the street. Outside my hotel coming back from the gig there was a young man kneeling on the sidewalk next to a girl, pleading with her to wake up. And there are building works every where. Little nooks and crannies are being ironed out and replaced with glass and steel buildings owned by corporations. So...its a city.

    Charlie-you seem to haver similar taste to art and poetry as me. I know nothing about art either, but I do like going to galleries-and there was a brilliant Edward Hopper one here about 10 years ago. The Van Gogh paintings were incredible to actually see, as opposed to looking at the reproductions. The paintings seem to be almost alive-bursting with colour and energy. I couldn't believe my eyes. I have never taken time to look at Japanese art-as you suggest-so much to love-so little time.
    I also like the romantic poets-Coleridge-the other one- and William Blake are the ones I keep returning too. I love the illustrated copies of Blakes poetry. The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, with its instructional Proverbs of Hell could appeal to any curious Deadhead.

    As for the music of King Crimson-Trainwrecked-I would look away now. There are an ever increasing quantity of expensive box sets being released, and once you tip your toe in the water-splash! If you are foolish enough to risk it, the essential ones are the first, "In The Court of the Crimson King", and the final 70s one, "Red".

    Yum....

    CARLO: yaaassss strawberry beer. Normally don’t go for that kinda stuff, but in this case it’s usaully done well, meaning not overdone. For best results it must be ice cold and on a hot day.....unfortunately it’s supposed to snow here tonight ; ) It is made only once a year at the Gleenwood Springs Brewpub. It’s a good half hour to forty minute ride and we have arrived to find them already temporarily sold out, but the drive through Glenwwod canyon alone is worth it.
    It’s only available while supplies last, which is usually through the weekend, occasionally it might last a week or so...
    Becareful of that new neighbor, as familiarity can bread contempt 😉

    CHARLIE; perhaps I’m thinking of old Character (retired) Rich Lewis from the Ruby valley, or his young replacement Jake Hedak from the Tabacoo Root mountains?, or the bitterroot valley sounds familiar? Sorry I’m getting mixed up?
    Knew old Tom was way up yonder, but somehow thought you were up there too. Wherever, I’m sure it’s awesome,
    Only drove though there from Portland to Bozeman to do merch at a Band show at the High School Auditorium back in 96 I think it was, and then on to Boulder.....some wild, amazing drives! I’ll always remember from Spokane through the panhandle and across Montana to Bozeman....one of the best drives ever! Remember back then hitting the tana border and this giant sign declaring the speed limit as “reasonable and prudent”? With like 70 after dark....so I asked the cop at the show the next night what the hell that means, it’s pretty ambiguous? So he says it depends on what your driving and what the conditions are, and yes just like Jay Leno used to say, we pull you over and basically give you like a ten dollar fine lol....
    Know what your saying about no more room at the inn, hear tana’s catching up to Colorado, but it’s starting to be friggin Cali here, hell half of Cali is moving here, and of course half of Texas comes every summer! But c’est la vie!
    Ok, enough ramblin, time to go fire up the two channel and PLAY DEAD!

    Mountain Men and Artists

    Never heard of the mountain man show till your post, but when I looked it up it appears that Tom lives in the Yaak which is way more remote than where I am which is about a 1/2 hour south of Missoula. The Yaak is way up in the Northwest corner of the state. I moved from New York to Montana in '97 and I love Montana. Nice low population density and spectacular scenery, people are generally nice, great place. But don't get any ideas, we're full;)

    DaveRock, the Van Gogh exhibit must have been awesome, some of his stuff really does it for me. I am not really educated as far as painting and art, but I know what I like and Van Gogh is on the list. Also really dig Edward Hopper and a number of Japanese Wood Block artists, particularly Hiroshige and Kawase Hasui. Something about some of those woodblocks just clicks for me, especially some of the Kawase Hasui. I believe that Van Gogh was also a Hiroshige fan. I think both Hopper and Hasui looked at the 20th century transition from rural and pastoral to modern and urban, with Hopper doing a great job capturing the sense of modern social isolation. Good stuff. As far as the Hartley Coleridge poem, I dig some of those romantic poets, especially William Wordsworth, and some of the American transcendentalists. So much stuff to dig, so little time...

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?

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!

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.
