    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.

    If I want to get jazzy ,…

    If I want to get jazzy , spacey and ripping 74 jamming should I spend 75$ on Dave’s picks 13 or 17? I’m just looking for opinions, I’m going to give the archives a sit down over the weekend and also see what the new box set is, because I’m financially going to have make a decision and if the box set is a smoker it’ll have the potential to sell out like Europe 72(4 days!!!!, infuckingsane!) so I’m not about to let it slip by! I’d jump on Europe 72 if i had the chance ( at 400$ not the 1200
    It’s going for now) , hoping it gets a 2022 anniversary rerelease. I’m not to sure if I’ll jump on the new box set it if it’s post 77 and over 150$ but 77 & earlier I’m almost certain I’ll get it!!!!

    I’m disgusted. Been buying the series since Dicks picks era. Been in the UK that long as well. All fine till now. Without warning, explanation or apparent concern you change international charges mid 2019 subscription. £73 on top. If you want to drive folk to just consume via archive.org this is the route. But if you do care then this needs to be fixed. Instead of a looked forward to listening experience I receive a USP ticket for more money.

    Anyone done a 101 in CX? I’m pissed!

    Looking at the FAQ page I found this:

    “A Note To International Customers

    If you order products for delivery to a shipping address outside the United States or Canada, you will be responsible for any and all import taxes, tariffs and duties which may be levied by your Customs or Government or Other Authority upon any parcel we send to you. Please note: taxes/duties are calculated based on the original retail price of the items in your order and does not include any discounts or promotions.”

    I’m happy to pay all of these items but why the hell do I have to pay freight charges of more than £73 to get something I have already paid delivery charges on?

    I’ve emailed drrhino and got an automated response saying I’ll get a reply in 5days, let’s hope the delivery people will wait that long.

    Direwulf......who you calling a bad role model......I resent, er a resemble that remark! Lol
    Dennis....who you calling old..... ; >)

    MUDSTOCK 94....was at station across the street night before setting up merch tent (worked for NFA), then shipped downto original site, with a couple side trips to Freedom Festival, finally got back up to Sagurties main site and was taken in special service road in the back of a pickup around midnight.....phew, totally surreal! Saw some Metallica (I think it was that night) on second stage from afar, eventually saw Aerosmith on big stage that went on? really late, remember strangling back to the companies rented house like a mile away near dawn....so nice to have dry place to sleep and shower!
    Sunday was given the day off so saw end of Arrested Development, The Allman Bothers with a very young Dereck sitting in for Same Thing. Also Traffic, Jimmy Cliff and Santana. Quite the day! Walked into town middle of day to a neighborhood bar and had awesome beer & Pizza, and watched Porn for pyros on the pay per view with a bunch of locals, that was interesting! Tried to see Dylan but it was such a quagmire and I had messed up my knee in all the mud so that’s when I went a saw Jimmy C instead, or perhaps that’s when Metallica? Sorry, all a big blur now..”all the years combine, and melt into a dream”. Unfortunately, didn’t get to see the Band as we were stuck down at original site, which is ironic since we worked with them a lot in those days....
    Next day, Monday, on site to breakdown our store was like walking around a war zone, sans dead bodies, shit just everywhere. People had abandoned all kinds of stuff, brand new tents, you name it.....folks we’re driving around just loading up all kinds of great ground scores, me, I scooped up some mud, which I still have in sealed glass mason jar. Figured it was the best possible souvenir considering.....
    Anyway, it was an experience of a lifetime, all those people, unfathomable, and didn’t see one single bad scene the whole time!

    That site has a ton of useful and interesting information. I suspect that I am an outlier in the general population as far as trips taken, maybe not so much so in certain groups. My best estimate based on frequency x time is somewhere between 250-300 most over a core period of about 5 years. I just really liked tripping. Funny, I never really "quit", I just realized at some point that it had been years, now decades since I last tripped. But I remember...

    Hippies in the Yard

    I personally would love to have the 300,000 hippies in my backyard....it would be a nice visual improvement to my neighbors above ground pool. All joking aside, the bastards built this thing and then a deck to go around it almost to my property line here in KC suburbia. Being the kind neighbor that I am, I did not report them to the city, but I had to build a Trump Wall (10 foot cedar privacy fence) so that I don't have to look at them every time I walk out my backyard.

    The hippies would surely want magic carpet rides if they were here......especially with a certain Dave's release and box set announcement due to hit the streets any moment now....this could pose logistical problems.

    Would also have to improve the overall sound system and PA or there would likely be a riot. Currently I am listening mostly from my phone and/or computer which I plug into my Pioneer receiver/amplifier via RCA cables. The speakers are SVS book shelves which were a nice improvement over the Bose 301 speakers that I was using.

    My turntable is a Planar One which is Planar's lowest end turntable, but sounds amazing. The dude at the store says that the sound would be noticeably better if I updated the cartridge which would I think would cost $100 -$200, or much more, depending on the version of the upgrade. Vinyl is my preferred method of listening if the music is available on vinyI and if convenient, ie not traveling).

    I have mentioned, I do not have a CD player other than in my car, so I am probably missing out on some sound quality listening to GD music (Dave's picks and boxsets) as digital downloads from the CD's as opposed to the CD's themselves. My personal opinion is that if you buy the CD (at least for box sets where a download is offered), you should receive access to the higher quality FLAC/ALAC download in order to receive the highest quality fidelity. As it stands now if you want the highest fidelity, and you want the boxset packaging along with liner notes for your collection, then you have to buy both. Regardless, I should probably buy a CD player with a high quality dac, and I think the sound would be better.

    I also have a surround sound system which is connected to my TV and a Blu Ray player, plus very standard audio-technica turntable. Sound is good, but not as good as my main system as the speakers are smaller, I do have a sub on this system which makes the bass punchier, and I have thought about purchasing a SVS sub on my main system. I do not like listening to CD music through the blue ray. Just doesn't sound as good to me and the interface is always clunky.

    I do agree with KeithFan in that one should listen to each release through a set of decent headphones if you have them available. The sound stage is definitely different. My best headphones are also audio-technica, and not super high end, but they still sound great and different from my home system.

    FourWindsBlow - That would indeed be an incredible boxset. Was it you that originally suggested Giants stadium shows?....I think you may be on to something with this east coast thing. The boxset you suggest has something to make all the era chasers happy...60's, 70's, 80's & 90's....Oh My!!!

    Direwulf - Thanks for the article on acid. Far out read, and informative, but seems I need to expand my circle of friends. If I had to guess, might be some of those younger folks who could show me the light.....but that older stuff sounds nice too....always good to have choices....I'm stuck in the middle

    Jim...holy shit man....it's Friday here too!!! There goes that synchronicity again....never fails! Have fun on your daily outdoor adventure while listening to the greatest band in the world!!! Looks like a nice day here, but would be a lot better if my Dave's copy were to arrive.

    I'm flying out tomorrow morning for The Big Easy. And speaking of old people, my Wife's grandparents live down there and are both celebrating 96th birthdays and over 70 years of marriage. Wife's aunt owns a house down there. Wife's father was trying to set a new record with over 10 family members staying in said house. I outsmarted him and booked a room in the French Quarter for 4 nights.....send me a PM if any of you are in the area....I'm calling it "Operation Dakota"....hoping for good weather, but Looks Like Rain.....

    If all goes well, I will come back to a mailbox filled with great music that will prep me for MUATM on August 1st. If things go wrong, I will send out a GoFundMe Link for bail money.....wish me luck folks!

Currently spinning Alabama Getaway after a lengthy import process (no track names unfortunately). However, the act of typing in the song names made me realize there are a heck of a lot of tracks with the ">" at the end - usually a good sign in my book!
I had listened to RoadTrips 1.1 earlier today while working from home to get in the mood and so far this is sounding "better" in terms of both tape quality and playing. Brent is loud-and-clear in the mix. Dick's 31 was a face-melter, lets hope Dave's 31 is too!

Play Dead Y'all

...about that box set that's coming our way soon (I hope)...I've been setting my pennies aside for the Allman Bros at Fillmore West and Orchestral Favorites by Frank Zappa so I dunno...unless of course it's something in my wheelhouse like The Ark as has been wished for...

The previous DaP issues have arrived from Europe. Presumably they have been bulk shipped to a distribution point and then posted out. Since the UK is still in the EU, for the moment, no customs charges apply to a relatively cheap item so they are delivered with no charge. Larger box sets can attract charges of c. 20% of the item price with a handling fee, this fee is not always charged so some box sets are delivered free and others can attract a charge it depends upon the diligence of the customs on that day. The most I can remember paying is under £30 and that was for one of the big boxes, perhaps the complete Europe tour. So £73 for a triple cd is ridiculous.

Just checked my e-mail, not thinking I'd already have received a reply to my 'fizzed off' e-mail.

His reply reads: "Thank you for your email.

I am very sorry to hear that you are being charged a delivery fee, for your copy of Dave's Picks Volume 31.

I have brought this issue to the attention of our warehouse and our operations team.

We are working with UPS to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

I apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

I will update you on our progress as soon as possible.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Sincerely,

Dr. Rhino

Dtuck90-thanks for the info about checking the shipping details with UPS. I have just followed your advice, but after putting the tracking number in, and trying to follow up the status - nothing happens. I will just wait and see what happens I think.

Carlo-I haven't been asked to pay any additional shipping costs for several years for Daves Picks. I can remember paying extra in the first year or so , which did make me hesitate ( for about 5 seconds) before renewing my subscriptions. I'm not working now, so things are a bit different.

I can't remember how much I paid for shipping for the 73/74 box, but it brought on one of my dizzy spells! Which is why, unless this years box is Ark 1969 or Fall 1972, I may bow out. I seem to remember shipping cots varied quite widely for this box for people in the UK. I phoned up to try and find out why, but I never got a satisfactory answer, and gave up after a while.

Sadly this shipping disaster is not limited to the UK alone. Unsurprisingly the same situation applies to me here in Holland. UPS are expecting me to pay €81.88 (that is equivalent to $91.16 at current exchange rates). This is almost as much as I paid for the year's subscription with the early-bird discount. No other Dave's Picks has been sent using UPS. Why this time? I seem to recall that a box was once sent to foreign or European customers using UPS and a similar situation occurred. I also seem to recall that it was sorted out in the end. That said, one has to ask how this sort of situation can occur. When they send out the same set of packages every three months, why should someone suddenly decide to "do it differently" with all the consequences of such an ill-considered decision. This, of course, beggars belief in this day and age. A mail is on its way to Dr. Rhino. Good to see that he has at least had the decency to reply to at least one British punter suggesting that there will be rectification. Curious to see how this evolves.

all this talk about the box set has me remembering the fiasco that was PNW 73-74. Doesn't anyone remember the faulty discs from this box? I had to have 3 replaced and it wasn't anything that deadnet did, it was rhino. I would really like a 91 box with Bruce and Vince, but I will not preorder, I will wait till I have read the reviews and wait till I hear about any and all abnormalities with the box before I order. Now, if it is a 91 box, I don't think that we will have to worry about the ravages of time making the shows incomplete or big dropouts in the sound, but who knows, it is rhino after all and I'm not the biggest fan of their production procedures or their quality control. Still, it's kinda exciting waiting for the announcement. I finally got the email saying my DAPs 31 is in the mail, yahoo!!!

Again the boards keep me abreast of new things. I'd don't know if I ever hear about some things if it wasn't for the people here. Everyone in my circles wait for me to show up with "new" stuff. I can honestly say I am not the biggest Allman fan, but I am the biggest sucker for this boxed shit! Hope my wife doesn't retire anytime soon :-)

I MIGHT see DaP 31 today!?! Tracking shows at my post office this morning at 430. Certainly enough time to sort, but sometimes I think they don't deliver 'packages' on Saturday and keep it to just envelopes.

Casey check pm, got the mule for you.

Keith Fan,,,, did you get what I got for you?

ABB FW71 on order - thanks for the heads up. Finally received my 2/28 FW69 on Vinyl - thru sides A & B and loving it. Finally ripped GarciaLive11 so will get first listen today. My shipping notice says Tuesday for DaP31.

I concur the 2/24/74 show is the better of the two 1974 DaPs in question, if you had to choose one.

Vguy, sounds wild.....I’ve got to get back to Vtown one of these days, hell the misses has never been!
Best visit was a friends wedding.....out in some lush tropical courtyard, everyone wearing shorts, smoking big cigars and sporting drinks (under a wonderful “green” fog, ahem)....while the ceremony went on under a Grass Palapa, surrounded by palms and lush tropical foliage, and beautiful women frolicking in the pool......what a day!

Took notice of this in the article....

Used to buy online in bulk when I still played music since I would record then make copies for everyone, but I can’t recall where/what kind those were, which is a shame as they held up well but we’re really inexpensive....

Well I received an apologetic reply from Dr Rhino saying that he’d look into the delivery charges fiasco but in view of the fact that I paid not once but twice (I have two orders, one for myself and once for a friend) because I didn’t want to run the risk of missing out, I can say that if this isn’t sorted out by DaP 32 I will never again buy from this site. I noticed that there is a disclaimer on the page explaining delivery charges for international customers which is a convenient get out clause.

I’d really love it for someone from dead.net to have the courage to post on this forum with updates about this situation, caste iron guarantees that it won’t happen again, and apologies to the Grateful Dead community. I somehow doubt it, though, given the ominous silence over the dodgy discs from the last box set. Prove me wrong dead.net ....

I get the Taiyo Yuden / JVC Ink Jet printables since my old epson printer has a cdr holder. I think they're now available as "CMC Pro - Powered by TY Technology 80 Minute/700mb White inkjet CD-R in Cake Box - 100 Count"

It's around $30+ for a 100 pack. I've created copies of all my live Dead/JGB releases along with favorite soundboards. I think out of the 5 x 100 pack maybe had 1 or 2 bad ones.

This was part of ours...
https://www.postindependent.com/news/breaking-i-70-westbound-closed-at-…

We headed off after to work to return Courtesy car to dealer and pick up the misses car. Figured I go and we’d have dinner at the B-Pub, perhaps maybe they’d have some Strawberry beer left....all that normally about a 2 hour trip....
Signage sucked, only said “delays at exit 116” IDIOTS! The damn road had already been shut down for 4 hours! so we, more idiots, drove right into the “parking lot” that was I 70, only about a Mile from the exit....long story short after fuggin 2 hours I finally took the wheel, back up just enough, turned left through just enough space between cars in left lane, then ever so carefully traversed the meadian ditch to the east bound lanes, then finally got the hell outta there or we could have been there half the night! Of course “authority” did jack shit to handle the situation so people couldn’t get off the highway or go anywhere! Bet eventually it got pretty ugly.....good news was the dealer staff couldn’t go home so we were able to still make the exchange and get her car....the bad news, at that hour the line was too long for dinner. Oh, and no beer left : (
And to think I blew off going VIP to Rocky Grass (for various reasons) to have my Friday end up like this.....yeeesshhk.

Reads "Add to that the new sound Jerry brought with the arrival of his custom Doug Irwin Wolf guitar, and you now have the sound that would largely dominate, and define, the Grateful Dead's 1980s output."

Except Wolf had been around for years in '79, Tiger was the new guitar. Pictures show Jerry playing Tiger. C'mon Dave!

Looking for some advice on another pick! Im torn between dicks picks 33 and Dave’s picks 18(1976) with the bonus disc. Dave has said 33 is a personal favorite. Both are going for 90$. Help on the way....

I use Verbatim...look online about $22 per a spindle of 100...never a coaster in the bunch...Amazon, Newegg or Fry.com have sales going on all the time

I hope the pushed out the anti-erase tabs on those tapes.

I agree with what you say in your last post concerning communications with dead.net.
From what you write, I get the impression that you have paid the asking price for shipping charges on this latest release. My intention, if I am charged, is not to, and then to start the laborious process of trying to rectify the situation so that it can be handed over without me being ripped off. If this isn't resolved for this one-31-never mind 32-then it will surely be the time to give up subscribing.
Anyway, I think it is important to keep the posts coming concerning this issue until it is satisfactorily resolved.
