    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*.

    Dennis, I know just what your saying, even a meh night of the dead always seemed like we won or were winning!
    Sports on the other hand.......long time Buffalo fan is all I’ll say about that.

    Vguy: I cant believe that shite....being an AVs fan I was watching/scouting the last few Knights game. Never thought the Sharks were going to win the series, though it did seem like the refs were trying to help them a bit last few games?
    That was the wildest thing I think I’ve ever seen in sports...it was getting late so I was blowing through the third period on DVR high speed since the knights were up by 3 with what? about ten minutes left, thought this ones over, let’s get it on Knights versus AVs then, DOooooo, what the fug was that??......back up, start watching, ok one goal whatever, then 2, hmmmm, nah, ain’t gonna happen, then holy guacamole Batman all tied up. I’m still trying to get a grip!
    Hate to see a team lose like that, whether I’m emotionally involved or not, it leaves a bad taste. I sorta get why they called that, but it sure looked like the guy just fell right in front of the oncoming guy and was just bad luck/coincidence not intentional? So lame to have that decide a Game 7.
    Personally I’m sorta glad cause the sharks always choke, so for AVs sake I’d prefer the Sharks, wasn’t so keen on facing the Knights.....hang in there bra, at least you have the Dead!
    Ok, now on to 4/24/72!

    While you are waiting or after when you are satiated (for the moment) by upcoming DaP, I want to recommend tracking down Henry Kaiser's "The Deep Unreal", solo guitar from 2017. Spacy to throbbing, three longish pieces (22-25 minutes) and one pretty shorter one. Excellent.

    I am also having a great time listening to Nels Cline. From BB&C's "The Veil" (avant-jazz/heavy guitar and sax improvs), to the beautiful Nels Cline Singers' "Insatiate" to Nels Cline's haunting solo "Coward".

    One of the "B"s in BB&C is Tim Berne. For the more jazz adventurous of you, his Bloodcount group Paris concerts are intriguing.

    The new Eric Dolphy 3-CD issuance "Musical Prophet".

    And I always recommend looking behind the 'stars' (not that the ranking isn't probably correct) Coltrane, Davis, Monk, Mingus, Shorter, OColeman, Evans, et al., and listening to Mal Waldren, Tina Brooks, Jackie McLean, Steve Lacy, Andrew Hill, most anything bassist Richard Davis plays on.

    Oh, and "Trout Mask Replica", which is the other/another side of "Anthem of the Sun".

    Think Pink Fairies-Casey

    Good, I am glad you like it. I was very impressed with both the albums and their presentation... the booklet and the card signed by Twink.
    As far as I know, Twink didn't make any other albums in the 60s or 70s, apart form Think Pink. He seems to have made four or five over the last few years, though. I have only got one of these. Its called "You Reached for the Stars", and its...okay.

    If you were to get another album of a similar ilk, from the same era as Think Pink, then Neverneverland, by the Pink Fairies would definitely be the one to go for. It was made about two years later, with Twink on drums, and the same guitarist who is on Think Pink-Paul Rudolph. Its more of a standard rock album-but its great. You can get the cd in England quite cheaply, and it includes a few essential extras-including one of the best heavy rock singles ever made-Do It! backed by the equally thunderous "The Snake". In fact, this album has also just been re-released in a cheap box set of cds, with the two other Pink Fairies 70s albums, although Twink left after Neverneverland. No home should be without one!
    I would also recommend two great psychedelic albums that Twink drummed on immediately prior to Think Pink. "Tomorrow", by Tomorrow, which has some great lead guitar playing by future Yes man Steve Howe, and the brilliant "S.F. Sorrow" by The Pretty Things.

    A long post, and no Dead. There is a link, though-the Pink Fairies were apparently inspired by seeing The Dead in 1969 to have two drummers. The similarity ends there.

    DaveRock - Twink

    My copy was delivered yesterday...first time listening to this band. Really enjoyed it and will be spinning again soon. Some Zepplinesk blues roots I hear on this one. Will have to check out some other releases by Twink. I ended up scooping it up on eBay for $56.00 USD...not bad for a Double LP with really nice packaging and liner notes including a signed certificate of authenticity, by one of the band members I presume.

    Born Under A Bad Sign

    I didn't know that one was an RSD release this year. Surely one of the best blues albums-as albums-ever released. I've already got it twice on cd..but how great to have it on a prime cut weighty disc of vinyl.

    I was never much good at sport when I was young. I was told that it was the taking part that mattered, not whether you won or lost. Didn't ring true then, either.

    Truly could care less about sports, but,,,, and I think all will agree. You NEVER left a show feeling like you lost. (ok bold statement, I can see the nay sayers already) But of all the show I saw and listen to, there was always a moment that lifted me, no, not the whole show, no, not the best, but never that 'we lost' feeling.

    oh, and sorry your team lost? won? In either event, the sun came up this morning,,,, yay:-)

    Sorry Vguy, was rooting for them Knights, but that may have been the single best period of NHL playoff hockey in history, wow! Stoltzie, I still cannot watch SB 49.

    The big debate in Seattle is what will the team be named, I like Sockeyes (after the salmon species) but also Sasquatch. Metropolitans was the original Seattle team name, they were also the first American team to win the Stanley Cup (1917). The Metropolitans again made it to the 1919 cup finals but it was cancelled because of the Spanish flu epidemic after 5 games. There's the history lesson for the day. Rock on.

    Thanks for the link Jim....required listening for your's truly and any KC Deadhead! Funny I was just listening to the new Albert King RSD release, "Born Under A Bad Sign", last night which features this KC classic tune!

    Ah and 1985....fine year for sports if I don't say so myself. I was definitely watching game 7 that night when Brett Saberhagen & my Royals beat the Cardinals 11-0 to cap off a series in which we were down 3 games to 1. I think we were the first team ever to accomplish this feat in MLB.

    Will have to finish listening to 10/28/1985 later today.....finished up 4/24/72 yesterday to keep pace in the Europe 72 march that many of us are on....

    Have a GRATE day all!

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!
