    DaP 31 or box set announcement first?

    Last year, DaP 27 (Boise '83) was announced July 16 and released July 27.
    In 2017, DaP 23 (Eugene '78) was released Aug. 1.

    I found both to be the underwhelming selections of the four for their respective years. If you enjoy these shows, take no offense. Just saying that the weakest selections IMHO have been the third of the year. Almost makes sense: Dave wants two solid shows to start the annual series with and a another solid show to end the year during the next year's subscription window. Third show can be kinda meh and the DaP model still holds up pretty well.

    That'd put a week or so between us and the announcement for DaP 31.

    I now retract my prediction that the box will be announced today -- a major step, I know, as it's now 3pm MDT. I think they might just make us wait until MUATM for the box announcement.

    Went out of my way to go to a "local" record store. Was an antique type mall, had records in the corner. Not what I wanted. Ordered from Amazon, release date is tomorrow. I took free shipping, so it should be here within a week (+/-)

    Re: Scarlet > Fire 3/22/90

    I have to side with Dennis. I know the midi isn't for everyone.. but that transition between Scarlet and Fire is mind-blowingly awesome. I also like the one from 11/30/1980 at the Fox (Dave's Picks 8). There are so many truly great Scarlet Fires though.. at a certain point we are splitting hairs trying to find the one that shines brightest. I think Latvala liked the 78 Giants Stadium one. There are more than a few in 77 that are worthy. Which reminds me.. I cannot recall the last one I listened to.. which was surely the best, I am positive of that. Let me think about this and give it another spin.

    Stoltzie - Here's how to upload and Avatar

    Step 1) Find a picture. Dead.net likes them smaller than 600 x 600. If it's too big, they will downsize it for you. There is also a 256 MB limit to the photo size, but it's almost impossible to find a picture that big for this type of exercise. So basically just find a picture you like.

    Step 2) You will want to know what folder you stored it in on you computer (or if you're using a cell phone, you need to know where t find it).

    Step 3) Go to the dead.net home page (https://www.dead.net)your account page. To get there, click on the drop down arrow next to the search magnifying glass on the top right of the screen. This drop down arrow should give you some selections like this:

    Chat
    Recent Posts
    My Account
    Message
    Logout

    You want to click on MY ACCOUNT

    Step 4) On your account page you will see words at the top:

    PRIVATE MESSAGES
    INBOX / WRITE MESSAGE

    and little further down:

    VIEW / EDIT

    You want to click EDIT

    Step 5) Now be careful here. Once you click EDIT from your main account page, you will have the ability to change your password, email address, etc. NO NEED TO CHANGE ANY OF THIS.

    Just scroll down until you see the words "user picture"

    If no picture is there (which is what I expect you will see) click "Choose File"

    This will open up your computer's folder selection path. This is when you need to remember where you stored your picture. Once you locate the picture you stored, just select it and it should upload to dead.net (and you will see it populate the "user picture" page.

    Hope I didn't leave out anything critical.

    Stoltzfus - Probably best to do from a PC or laptop as opposed to a phone. While logged in, in top right corner click the down arrow next to where your avatar should be. Then click My Account. Then click edit. Then scroll down and click upload a photo or image (one that you already have saved to a file on your computer). Find the file & then the picture and open/save it. That should be it.

    Dennis - I'm not familiar with that one I'll have to check it out (Scarlet Fire). I'd like a piece of music to make me cry like a baby too. I did get teared up once. October 31, 2006. The Who released their first album since I was 10 years old on that date. Mike Post Theme captured the old Who to an extent, and it was new and beautiful to me.

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.
