Hold on to your hat, we're coming in strong with one from the Windy City that'll have you movin' and shakin' from start to finish. DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 31: UPTOWN THEATRE, CHICAGO, IL 12/3/79 signals a true rebirth of the Grateful Dead, reimagining classics and foreshadowing their 80s sound. This is as much in part due to freshly-minted member Brent Mydland bringing the organ back in as it is to Jerry finding new vivacity with his custom Wolf guitar. New guy, new guitar - it all makes for a heck of a good time!

Set One rolls like never-ending thunder with one standout after another - truly epic versions of "Brown-Eyed Women," "Ramble On Rose," "It's All Over Now," "Althea," and "The Music Never Stopped." Set Two hits with a crack of not-so-lazy lightning, barreling through an outrageous 28-minute "Scarlet>Fire" to a unique “Lost Sailor>Saint of Circumstance” and wrapping with a "blow the roof off the place" version of "Truckin'" and a rippin' "Johnny B. Goode." Ready for some quiet after the storm? You'll have to wait a just a little bit longer - we've filled in the gap on Disc 3 with a sprinkle of 12/4/79 - "Estimated>Franklin's Tower>" and an incredibly improvised “Jam.”

Limited to 20,000 numbered copies, DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 31: UPTOWN THEATRE, CHICAGO, IL 12/3/79 has been mastered from Dan Healy's cassette recordings to HDCD specs by David Glasser at Airshow Mastering.

hoping it's something in the 4-6 show range. Those are always fun and (relatively) affordable for what you're getting. As cool as it would be to get a set from the 60s, I would prefer something from when the band was more evolved. I'd love a box set from the late 80s but I'm guessing there isn't a chance in hell that's happening. Regardless, I'll love it like I do all the shows in my collection - c'mon Dave, the anticipation is killing me!

have a great weekend everyone, and if you're an east-coaster like me, stay cool!

Festivals then and now

The biggest difference I felt between the free festivals of the mid-late 70s and the festivals of today, as experienced by me in 1999 ( which is almost today to me) is that there was a frisson of danger at the free festivals in the 70s. They were staged by seemingly fully unpaid up members of the anti establishment, and the crowd was made up of people who appeared to live in tents all the year round. They hadn't really "dropped out"-they had never been "in" in the first place Add to that various biker gangs, and latterly punks, and you had quite an interesting combination of people. Add all sorts of psychedelics, space cakes, speed, strong cider.. and see what happens. This is what Glastonbury was like when I went in 1978-about 500 people were there, I think. I really felt as though I had left civilisation behind for a few days.

Nowadays Glastonbury Festival is screened live on mainstream television, and is as much a part of the establishment entertainment industry as the Wimbledon tennis competition. In short, the festival scene was taken over by the establishment and sold back at an exorbitant price.

Watkins Glen and festivals

Someone mentioned the difference between the barbarity of early festivals (my choice of words) and today's festivals.

Here's a contrast for ya. 9 June 73, RFK, probably 100+ degrees, a couple of hard to find water fountains for every 10,000 people, maybe 25,000-30,000 people in the crowd. No idea if any food was sold because we had like $2 in our pockets. T-shirt, jeans, sneakers, blotter and aviator shades was it, if I recall.

Between RFK and Watkins Glen 6-7 weeks later, Bill Graham apparently realized that 10s of 1000s of badly dehydrated fans, with expiration dates tatooed on their foreheads, was bad for business. Maybe he even felt a twinge of responsibility. But he upgraded the, um, concert experience....

So when we streamed into the Watkins Glen concert site (they waved me through with my ticket, which I promptly handed through the fence to someone trying to get in) Bill had giant palettes of gallon jugs of water waiting for us. The jugs were cool to the touch! We each grabbed one and literally that's how we stayed alive for the next two days. On Friday evening we were laying out on our sleeping bags, using the jugs as pillows, when the ABB, then the Band, then the GD did soundchecks. Cool evening, laying on a sleeping bag within 50-60 feet of the stage on Jer's side, passing the pipe, while the GD unloaded a 2-hour soundcheck on us. Good times.

When we woke up, someone was passing around one of those mini-cereal boxes piled high with brown mescaline and we all had a good snort for breakfast. Topped it off with a half of a four-way blotter and at freakin' NOON the GD were on the stage, looking as bewildered as we were. to be there, then. I tried not to look back much, because it was people in every direction as far as the eye could see. Easier on the brain just to watch the bands.

To return to my now obscure point, Bill Graham upgraded the festival experience with ... jugs of water. To my knowledge, there was no food for sale except the enterprising hippies themselves. (Think refried beans on a tortilla -- the original veggie burrito.) Oh, one clear memory: a food truck in the parking area, with side window open and scale in sight, selling multiple types of dope like a freakin' ice cream truck. We hung out for a while (didn't need supplies) just because it was so fun to see it all out in the open. I do not recall seeing any cops for days. Everyone seemed to realize that putting those three bands together was a major event and all were so pleased that, in fact, strangers were stopping strangers just to shake their hand. That was new.

Today, food, drink, bathrooms, chairs... and I STILL WOULD NOT GO EVEN IF PAID!!

Glad I went when I did as a 15-year-old with 3-4 buddies, we hitchhiked hundreds of miles to get there and back. Enjoyed it all then, but never again. Red Rocks and 9,999 of my friends is the best I can do, maybe twice each year.

DaP 31 and the box

Well, I am super happy about this latest installment of Dave's Picks. I was definitely on board with a 1979 show as I was calling for ti like many others. I too was hoping for 12/1, but I would lime to see that released with 11/30 as they are both from the Stanley Theater. The format fits the second Dave's PIcks in the year when we get the bonus disc which would have to be next year's subscription. I don't see that happening, however I could be wrong. Hopefully they both will see an official release one day in some format.

However I am still excited for this show -12/3. I am not familiar with it, so that makes it better. As Dave stated in his seaside chat, the fall of 1979 has many great shows. I love the New Year's Eve run, and every other show I have heard has been good. And as Dave also stated, they really were stretching songs out. Brent really brought so much to the band and it is evident in this tour. I haven't listened to too many 1980 shows, but I do think there was a slight drop off (I am not speaking of acoustic sets) when compared to the The fall of 1979. Certainly 1980 is not a bad year in my opinion it just seems like they didn't stretch things out as much as they did in the fall of 1979. Again I might be wrong and I am happy if I am. Its all good.

As for the box, I am buying it - don't care what it is. As a carry over from the DaP 30 comments section, I just got my July 1978 box so I am working through that. That along with DaP 31 will keep me busy until I get the new box. Now with the possibility of video, if that is indeed the case, I am inclined to think it would be in the 87-95 time frame as others have said. . However it could be any old available footage from older shows and the then CDs of the shows themselves. A few of you mentioned 6/21/71- which would be cool. That show has really cool Hard to Handle. Also they did film stuff for the closing of the Fillmore West (7/2/71) so there is that as a possibility. My other long shot would be more film from the Festival Express in 1970. Sam Cutler has uploaded footage from that trip that has Lovelight from one of the stadium shows. There is also film from the free show the boys did to avoid the riots to get in the main event. Maybe there is a stash of this footage that is going to be released. It is certainly fun to speculate.

Box/MUATM

There are a few people on this site that know what the box is ..
I bought my tickets last night, $16 a piece for me and a buddy.
If you are looking for examples of 91 Dead check out View from the Vault 2, June 14, 1991. Good bonus material from 1990. Close to the date of this year's MUATM release. Do you like accordions?
And Dick's 17, from 91. This one doesn't get a lot of play at my house.

Box & My new favorite chop job, Dicks Picks 31

I am not sure but suspect most of the fall 91 shows were likely recorded as two track DAT's. Does anyone have any better info on this? If so, it might make more sense to test the 91 waters by adding a show or two to the Dave's Picks series.

I get the feeling this years box might be hard for us to guess, it doesn't sound like it fits the mold for previous boxes.

I delved into the oft overlooked Dicks Picks 31, August 4 and 5, 1974 (Philly and NJ). What an underrated release.. I have always loved it. I was just rolling off a relisten to Dicks Picks 12 recorded a little more than month earlier which gave me a great opportunity to compare and contrast. I really dig these shows and since it's the last listened to, it's clearly the better of the two. :D

Anyway, great pick and a very good recording. That opening PITB at just under 26 minutes is sublime.

Have a great weekend all. Don't forget to hydrate.

GET IT WHILE YOU CAN

Box?

....just talking out my ass but....

10/74; you’d think they’d wait for the 50th? Remarket etc...
Fall 72: do they have multis from this tour? Think winds is right about multi/plangent....I think we all agree that would be a Bobbie Dazzler though!
Alpine: seems too small. If he’s that busy makes it sound big!
Perhaps fall 89, but don’t think they’d go with a big one from that tour yet? Personally would love this!
Fall 80 is a possibility IF, they actually have the multis? Personally hope not...great stuff but kinda limited/repetitive imho for a biggin.....meaning not sure they’d sell enough for the big production costs?
Summer 91; my dog sense keeps coming back to this because they have multis, it’s something different i.e “variety” , they haven’t done much post Brentski, and it’s the muatm show, which is why I’m thinking that’s partially why their waiting to announce; to coincide with the muatm....might be anticlimactic otherwise.....don’t know 91 well enough to know if there are enough quality shows for a big box? Do know there are some great shows, just don’t know if there are enough?
73/74; too soon after PNW....and are there multis from this period?
69; think many would dig 69, but perhaps not enough to chance a big box? which brings us to...
Spring 71; personally my least interest out of the above, but there are multis, there’s enough shows, and there are a whole lot of folks been yammering for this one for ages!

So I’m going with 71 or 91.

HF

not according to the misses lol...
I agree about size does not equal greatness, i.e. Sunshine Daydream, but I’m stuck on his comments about Norman’s work load/hours etc...said they’ve been on this one for a while and as others said only other times he’s had to pass on releases was when he was trenched in on a big un! Throw in the plangent equals multi and I’m guessing a big one?
But hey, my opinion and a couple bucks might get ya a gas station coffee! ; )

Grateful

This is a nice pick. Not only is it from the Brent era, it features many of the songs from their upcoming album Go to Heaven as well.

-thanks.

Box Set

The rumor mill states this year's box set will be Giants Stadium shows from late 80s/early 90s.

Fall 72

I'm with Phil. Fall 72. Would also jive with bolo's hanoi jane clue.

Recently Moved: How do I…

Recently Moved:

How do I update address (for subscription)? Customer Service number on site doesn't seem to get me anywhere, not serviceable or something.

Laid up sick at home today....

....just woke up, and this news kinda makes me feel better. Oh well. Back to bed.

31

Set List looks like fun.

But with Lazy Lightning/ Supplication AND Lost Sailor/ St. of Circumstance, let the kvetching begin.

As to any box: Exactly, any box is fine with me. Weekend with Bruce or Branford, the Greek, Frost, or Ventura.
The possibilities are, well, not endless. But virtually endless for my lifetime.

Workingman's Dead

Dave said Jeff was working six days a week.

This is gonna be a Big 'Uns or it has video and had to have surround mix which would take longer.

Mcgrupp...

Our virtual den morher marye should ve able to help.

Ms. Marye?

Lazy>Supp kvetching? NEVER.

Ls>soc? That can be fun.
I remember a special day listening to that from 3/10/81...oh yeah...

Good pic

Nice Pic, late 79 was a great year w/ brent and the Band rockin in the fall tours (like cap cod 79)
But still don't get the lack of 83-85 shows. Especially the lack of 1984! For example the Philly 1984 3 night spring run 4/19/84 4/20/84 4/21/84 all are amazing and tight well played!!! Don't believe me listen to estimated Prophet on 4/19/84. Dave listen to it! you'll be surprised Lol.

To quote Han Solo....

...."where did you dig up this old fossil?"

Thanks Stoltzfus

Looks like my ticket went through for address change, found a working customer service #. I need #31 to land herself safely home, love that show!

sold out?

I can't get back to the DP31 page, just the separate comments page. Wanted to check out that cover again - boy is that T-Shirt worthy!!!

Hope you feel better VGuy! Just got GL11 today, hopefully my vinyl FW 2/28 arrives at the record store manana!

Uptown, December, '79!

I was there - still have the ticket with the outrageous price of $9.50!

The last 2 shows I saw before this one were with Keith and Donna and neither show was very good in my book. So when they came out with Brent it was time to give the new guy a chance. The energy level was through the roof and this still ranks among my favorite shows (that I attended) ever. Seemed as if everybody was ON that night.

The Uptown was a great venue and last time I saw them before they moved to larger arenas - the good old days!

Highly recommended - and thanks, Dave!

I like everything about

This

Let me say this, Oroborous.....

Dave also said they spent quite a bit of time on the DaP that was Dec '81 Boulder. And though I attended that show and did my (or more than my) share of tootskie and enjoyed it immensely -- I mean, IMMENSELY!!! -- I thought the tape did not support my, um, perceptions at the show.

So again, not sure that Jeffrey being real busy equates to a huge box. Still, when all is said, I'll be at MUATM on time, with shooters in my socks and PAX packed, ready for the news.

Look, what the hell could they be thinking? I couldn't afford 30 Trips, so I kicked in for my buddy's copy and he keeps it, but shared with me. I only wanted the first 10 years anyway.

How about: "Dave Lemieux's Fifteen and a Half Trips around the Moon?" (I mean it's the landing anniversary this weekend. )

Or: Bolo's Big Box of Indecipherable "Clues"? Also available on vinyl (tableclothes)...

Or: a 45-disc set dubbed "HendrixFreak's Worst Nightmare" (all from 1985-86).

Back to wishing and washing: give me spring '71 or fall '72 pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez!

Dap 31

What a pick. New era and cool cover art. So much for the 3rd Dap being "Meh". Love it!!!

Phish's Ruby Waves jamfest from Alpine....

....I try not to bring up this band from Vermont very often here, but I would be amiss if I didn't at least share it. 38 minutes of dips, about faces, peaks and valleys. At least six different themes. Simply incredible. Faces were melted. Drool happened. Music is universal. What a jam.

Available copies

Did all 20,00 copies sell today? The site wouldn't accept my mailing address earlier today and when I came back to the computer to try again it was sold out. very disappointing. And if that's it, will it be available digitally?

Kiev

No digit. On any Daps. P.S. Early bird coming up before last Dap of year. I think.

Hope it sounds better then the listening party

I'm a little nervous about the sound quality here. The listening party ain't too hot. As much as I want some quality 79-80, I'd I'd rather have something that sounds good when I turn it up.

Come on man this is…

Come on man this is ridiculous. I just got my email notice today about the release of this show and it's f**k*n sold out already!! Dave finally releases a worthy show from his lackluster selections of late. In case you were wondering, there are so many more [especially old heads] who want an opportunity to have this release.
So, please reconsider releasing additional copies!! Gratefully requesting

From Healy's cassette master....

....I admittedly got a bit nervous when I heard that.

Grrrrr

Was overseas and didn't get the subscription. Damn it. I'd suck a room full of _____ for a copy of this.

Got

They have to go with what they have. If they went with only pristine sound or betty's then Daps would end not to far into the future. IMHO.

Daverock and keithfan

Don't take the bait. Ha!

Criterion at barnes and noble 50% off on criterion. Just to let you know.

Subscription, subscription, subscription

Why do we have to say it every time?

Also, it was announced last week in the GD Bulletin that it would go on sale today at 10 am PST.

You know that annoying yellow box that keeps popping up? “Get on the list”

That box knows what it’s talking about.
The ‘list’ is how we knew last week that DaP31 was being announced at 10 am PST 2019-07-16.

But if you subscribed it wouldn’t matter.

Available Copies

Thanks for the reply Carlo. I'm very disappointed.

“Next year is going to be even better”

That’s the take home message from Dave’s seaside chat.

The site wouldn't accept my…

The site wouldn't accept my shipping address (and I've ordered many things from dead.net). I had this on my calendar and I tried when there were still copies available this morning, with credit card and paypal, with "same as billing" and with "shipping entered manually". Then with a second browser. When I came back to my computer this evening to try again it was sold out. Such a shame. Not the first time I've had issues with the site

12-3,4,5-79

Got them on CD-R about 15 years ago.
3rd and 4th are listed as lineage: Mcass/DAT/CD-R.
5th doesn’t have a lineage and is missing 2 songs, and has splices in 2 other songs. Dave said that he could see the 5th being released in the future. That would be grate if they have the complete show.

Spinning 12/3 set 2 now and it sounds pretty good for a cassette. Hope the mastering kicks it up a notch.

I would love a massive Box, with delivery at the end of September and all fall/winter to soak it up.

Sold out -sell out!

You guys are really going the wrong way! I attended 238 shows and have bought multiple copies of almost everything The Grateful Dead have ever released and yet I am beginning to feel that loyalty is becoming more and more a one-way street.

Who the hell is running this train? What business strategy dictates that you alienate your customers? Did you guys hire that genius who came up with the idea of "New Coke" or something? If I were one of your stockholders, I would be furious that you were urinating away unsatisfied demand AND infuriating your customer base.

Hopefully, it is just incompetence. If you are selling out a product with immense economies of scale AND significant sunk costs in 4 hours, you need to hire someone with a much greater grasp on demand forecasting! You can do better. You are the Grateful Dead for Pete's sake.

Crap shoot

If you need an ala cart you need to be there waiting for the screen to flip, then you might have a chance.Otherwise like icecream says sub. Sub. Sub. So you don't cry,cry,cry.

Joedunn totally lost me....

....it's been the business model for six plus years. Just subscribe. November.
btw. Casey Jones is running the train.
Beating a Dead horse.

If you want Dave's Picks....

....if you really, REALLY want them, check in during the end of November. If not, then quit complaining. I did the math years ago.

31

SOLD OUT!!!!

How to

How to wave goodbye without using your hands.- George carlin.

31 was available ALL day

Longer than any in recent memory. That said, agree with vguy, this is a subscription series, no real room for complaints.

A MASTER CASSETTE RECORDING

A big thank you to "the-powers-that-be" for releasing this show.

Please, folks lets not have complaints about this Dave's Picks sounding murky or lower fidelity. "Consumer quality."
The analog cassettes were good music carriers, but they weren't top-notch high fidelity in comparison to the compact disc. That less-than-perfect dynamic range, headroom, tape speed hiss, and tape generations were all downsides. I have this show on cassette and if I pull it out to compare it to the DaP31, it couldn't compare, it probably is an 8th generation copy.

So with that aside, this DaP31 will sound like I'm listening to the original master cassette recording, not even a 2nd generation copy. Quite a long time ago, I read what brand of tape and formulation of tape was used and the brand and model of recording deck was used.

He’s Gone...

Oh, oh, what I want to know is.....

Does HF or anyone know if they have multis of Fall 72?
I apologize if you’ve already told us and this senile geezer forgot again!

Well, there is every right…

Well, there is every right to complain. I was on the subscription before and I was disappointed with some of the selections in the series! Soooo, I don't particularly care to spend the money for the series and pay money for discs I don't want. All I am saying, some would say I am complaining [whatever], is that there are so many heads out there who just want to get a chance to buy a f**k*n show without paying into a subscription! If you do a pre-order then you know how many discs to rip and there are no worries about being stuck with any unsold discs. I'm just saying...

Were There Any Multi Tracks, Fall 1972?

I believe they gave all the Multi-Tracks they had to give in the Spring.

The longshot is 12/31/72 which was broadcasted on KSAN, San Francisco. I don't think it's unheard for them to bring in a multi-track recorder for radio broadcasts.. but I just don't think they did for this one. I reserve the right to be wrong, however.. If anyone has better info please do tell.

Sold Out

I am sorry some got shut out on this today. Honestly I thought there would have still been copies through tonight.

Initially these have not been selling too high above the ala carte pricing on the secondary market.. so if you got shut out look on eBay sometime in August. Consider the $10 or so extra you paid to be the hedge against the $95 it costs to subscribe.

The Road Trips Series was non-numbered and they had a hard time with it. It's been like this for almost eight years, and I don't see things changing because this works better for them.. Predictable revenue and costs and it does get people off their butts to purchase by the release date (if not before).

I wouldn't expect #'s 32 and beyond to be any different. Again, truly sorry for those that got shut out.

Subscription = 4X + Bonus + Early Bird Discount - Stress
Ala Carte = 4X - Bonus - Discount + Possibility of getting shut out + Stress
______________________________________
Math shows us that Subscription > Ala Carte.

Cassettes

Good post by Born Cross Eyed on the cassette master issue. I used to be pretty psyched with any cassettes of live dead that I could get in the '80s, and what I could get was few and far between. I would never have believed the sonic riches that dead.net would release.

I know that you can't judge a show by its set list, but this set list looks hot. I am particularly looking forward to checking out the Scarlet-Fire as I am partial to some of those '80s FOTMs. If past predicts future, then I can safely say that my brain will quickly adjust to the sound quality without being distracted and I will dig the release for what it is rather than pine away for what it is not. This also gives me hope that we might see some summer '85 releases down the road even if they are also cassette masters. (SPAC '85 SPAC '85 SPAC '85).

The cover art on this one also looks wicked cool, as I think someone else noted, it would make a good shirt. Love the fiery dragon motif to go along with that extended FOTM.

if anyone is interested in some vinyl...

I'm trying to raise some scratch for the box set that's coming our way soon. Seeing that I've got these on cd's I guess I really don't need these on vinyl as well. Anyone interested feel free to drop me a PM and then post a message for me to check my PM.

Dicks Picks Vol. 34 11-5-1977 6LP set. 180gram
...both are new and still in their shrink-wrap. Never been opened.
Drop me a line...

Don't Overlook Stanley 11/30

All this excitement has me heading down the the music room for a little 11/30/79 sound board action...whoa, got this one on tape "hot off the presses" right after it came out. My bet on Dave's 32 is a post-Brent, because Dave wants to have one of each with the different keyboard players...yer thoughts. Bring on the Megabox!!!
