    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*.

    Another The Other One

    Hooked on Other Ones now. I'd put this one in my top ten list, starting today: Dick's Picks 28 (2nd Show). This was the Salt Lake City concert. There's a fantastic Disc 4 sequence: Truckin' => The Other One => Eyes Of The World => Morning Dew. It's all top-shelf, but The Other one is on the secret shelf above the top shelf; you know, the horizontal mirror that runs across the top front, but opens up like the hidden book compartment in the 30 Trips Around The Sun Box. Miss it at your own peril.

    Yeah, I remember when Norman was on here. Was kind of surprised he showed up, but I think he was trying to figure out what it was we were all hearing in the recent releases that we thought sounded so good. It was right after (I believe) Dave's 17 came out, and a lot of us were raving about what we perceived as some significantly improved sound quality coming out of the most recent releases. You never know where the tape quality ends and the Engineer's skills and tools begin, but I'm convinced that the older tapes are sounding better than ever. Would love to have DP 7 and DP 31 remastered and sounding like the three shows from the Pacific Northwest Box Set.

    Those shows were just what I had on a flash drive of audience sources in mp3 just for in the car.

    I must have thought the aud. for the 11th didn't sound that good so
    i didn't DL that one. I will listen to that one in sbd uncompressed on the big system at home.

    Re: dreading / E72 Mix

    Dead.net did not address this, it came up in several conversations / posts here. A few listeners, much like yourself, noticed inconsistency in the mix and shows where the piano was either buried or hard to hear at all. It's come up several times over the last seven years.

    I think the shows sound great, but then you notice Keith is low in the mix - sometimes very low. OneMan was the first to really hammer the point in relation to the E72 box. Then.. if memory serves a couple years ago.. Guss West reached out to Jeffrey Norman and convinced him to make a few guest appearances on one of these threads. Sort of a question and answer type thing and that specific question was asked. There was not a direct answer to the question, but he did indicate he would love to revisit some of these shows knowing what he knows now and utilizing some of the new approaches (Plangent Processing being among them). So this issue was addressed, but not directly answered. It was left for us to interpret his statements.

    I took some liberties reading between the lines that with E72 in particular, knowing the volume of work was high and the turnaround tight.. and his response that he would love to revisit and remix some of these shows that volume vs. time impacted some of the mixes. I honestly believe if they came out in smaller batches or if more time was given for the his work we would have seen some better mixes. When I look back at my own work, especially when it's complicated, it could almost always benefit from some revision.. don't take this to be a slam on Jeffrey's work, I in fact think he does a great job.

    I hope this doesn't come across as too big a complaint, they still sound great and are one of the joys in my collection.. But there.. I said what I think happened based on the mix and all those conversations that have taken place over the years. Look at this as a soft analysis on one of the best offerings we are likely to ever get from the band.

    On a related note, I would really like to see some of the early releases remastered and re-released.. especially some of those partial show compilations or shows where I have to think would sound better if Jeffrey revisited them. He really has gotten better in recent years. One can hope.., right?

    ....I think you forgot/skipped right over one of the best of that bunch - June 11, 1976.

    I assume it was either a typo or a temporary moment of insanity. Don't miss out, this is one of my all-time favorites especially the second set:

    *Re/ listen’n

    ...greetings my fellow brothers & sister on this grateful Monday. This morning I started my listen’n With the ‘Download Series Volume 1.’
    The first in a series of digital download albums by the Grateful Dead. The album features the complete show from April 30, 1977, which was the second of a five night run at New York City's Palladium. In addition, in order to fill out the third disc, bonus material is included from the previous night at the same location. I love Norman’s magical mix for this release along with anther Primo Audio recording by Betty! I always thought that the Five Running performances at the NY Palladium would make a grateful Box Set, even though we have many releases from 77’ I love this performance.
    Also someone brought up the statement of releasing past releases with upgraded audio. I would gratefully purchase certain, not all, upgraded releases...
    I would love to see All the Download series be released available on a CD format. Some great, Primo, shows in that series! All together I believe they only released 12 in the series. I love the Grateful Dead’s 1979 performances and recordings.
    Take care everyone and remember to Smile Smile Smile, peace be with you all, god bless.
    🙏❤️😎🤠
    PS/ great posts VGuy72, Keithfan and jimMD!!!
    As always, you guys make me smile with your daily posts. Thank you for sharing. I love this place/board as well. A beautiful group of brothers & sisters, both humble & Grateful about the band and the fans!
    Cioa’, rock On ! 🙏🤠

    Thanks for the info on Europe '72 Complete. That really surprised me. I assumed there was a technical problem since he is present for some of the shows. I assumed they just took the original LP performances from the shows where you can hear him. To hear that the problem was limited production time is very disappointing. Did I understand you correctly that they addressed this on the website here? I was not really tuned in to the Grateful Dead as regularly then as I am now and did not buy the steamer trunk. To be honest I thought the whole thing was ludicrous, 22 shows of basically the same material. For me it came down to whether or not I wanted to spend $450 for a dozen Dark Stars and Other Ones. Then a few years ago the individual shows were discounted 25% and I picked up a few. Then a few more. LOL, and how foolish I felt for having passed up all of this great nuanced Grateful Dead music when they were at the peak of their powers. I did not notice the piano until a few weeks ago when I also started to listen to the shows on their anniversary dates.

    Vguy you are a warrior. '95!

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.
