    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.

    I had that message on 31st July. UPS still show the charge today. Rhino had two clear days to sort this before the weekend. I’m assuming that they don’t work at the weekend (?) so in the UK I think the earliest we can hope for any further action is mid afternoon, our time, on Monday. I still have some hope.

    UPS charges to the UK (again)

    Just received an e-mail from UPS advising they're going to deliver DaP31 to me late tomorrow, but still requiring not just a signature but a payment of £73.92 import charges! This having received an e-mail from Dr Rhino early yesterday which read:
    "Update regarding your Dave’s Picks Volume 31 shipment:
    I have been advised that there was a mix up with the international paperwork, for you shipment.
    This issue is now in the process of being resolved and we (Rhino) will be paying the UPS delivery fee associated with your Dave’s Picks Volume 31 shipment.
    I am currently awaiting confirmation from our warehouse contact that your delivery fee has been paid.
    As soon as I receive this confirmation, I will send you an update.
    We again apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
    If you have any questions, please let me know.
    Sincerely,
    Dr. Rhino"

    So clearly still not resolved then despite my sending various e-mails with order and tracking numbers!

    ...and to 'Daverock', I know the seagulls only too well myself, also curiously and co-incidentally living in Lowestoft. Our daughter lives two doors away, and they had a nest on the chimney stack, and the kids couldn't get into the back garden for a few days a while back for fear of them being attacked by the gulls protecting the 'chicks' in the nest. I should say that the chicks are no small birds neither!

    Audio patch in fire? Do you really think that is what they wanted to do? So you want them to ditch the show in the trash because of something they could not avoid. Or mabey delete fire from the show entirely like on Dicks picks? Give them a break. The can only do so much to an old tape. Nothing personal skwimite.

    On second listen

    I appreciate everyone's honest opinion and look forward to reading them. Its the bashing that gets tiring.

    On second listen, I was okay with the sound quality on disc 1. I hadn't listened to disc 2, and it definitely has its issues. This isn't a top ten show by any means, but its better than the one from 1980 a year or 2 ago.

    I don't need a second one. At 67, I am starting to think of selling them all and just streaming. My first show was Manhatten Center April 5, 1970. Second one was 04/28/71, Fillmore East. First one blew me away. I thought the New Riders were the Dead because I saw Jerry up there. After they were done, I realized the Dead were next. 04/28 is best dead show I saw. I was also at Dave's Picks 5 at UCLA and got there at 2 pm and hung out with thebob and jerry who arrived at 3 for the sound check. I was in the gym and I didn't get kicked out along with 20 other people. Jerry was talking about starting their own record company to control everything for better sound.

    happy trails!

    Sound levels

    Most DaPs are mixed at a sound level that corresponds to a volume setting of 40 on my Onkyo amp.
    DaP 31 requires a volume setting of 49 or 50. Not sure why it was mixed lower, but that seems to be the case with the releases that come from cassette masters. Charlie Miller offerings of cassette masters also play at a similar volume on my system.
    At that volume setting I was able to hear Bob on several songs.
    So, turn it up to 11.

    Speaking of birds, and LMG’s Bird Song riddle.
    I was out on my deck a little while ago sitting in the sun and drinking a cup of coffee (super dark roasted Columbian Jimbo - think I may get some roasting done later today) and a humming bird flew over by me, hovered for a bit, and then flew off. I didn’t have any sugar water to offer, so the bird didn’t tell me what DaP 32 was going to be.

    Spinning Garcia 11, 11-11-93, at the moment. That’s a lot of 11’s.

    First Listen 31

    I really enjoyed my first listen to 31...not sure what all the fuss is about? I did think the vocals were a little out front, and that Bobby was a little low in the mix, but that’s just an observation...certainly not complaining or frustrated with it by any means. Put me in Mr. Pete’s camp, give me some of what he’s smokin and drinkin, and I’m one happy camper! Will hopefully have another listen this weekend but feeling a bit under the weather, so we shall see. By the way Mr. Pete, I love your posts. They always make me feel like I am sitting on the porch with you. I hope you get your Greek Box someday soon!

    Speaking of vocals...I identify with other opinions about not listening to GD for the vocals...it’s generally more about the music, but the more I think about it, I do also love the vocals and more so the lyrics, and even more specifically, I love the imperfections of the vocals swirled around the open interpretation of the lyrics and the music. I mean they kind of all roll into one, do they not?

    Let’s face it, none of our boys, even Jerry on his best day is/was going to win a Grammy for best vocalist, but that’s really not the point, at least for me. The way I understand it is that the band members never cared much for awards or accolades anyways. What gets it for me is the power and raw emotion with which the vocals and lyrics are sung, and the clear passion that the boys have for the tunes they are singing. And regardless of the era, the passion to me is always evident. In the early years, Jerrys voice is so sweet, endearing, youthful and forward looking. In the latter years, grizzled and worn, yet reflectful of the many roads traveled, like an old storyteller. Bobs voice is iconic and the most consistent throughout the years, and Phil, well Phil’s voice is just Phil’s voice....guy sings a mean Box of Rain!

    This brings me back to Mayer. A popular poster on this board once said to me that “JM couldn’t sing his way out out of a wet paper bag.” This was almost 2 years ago. I haphazardly agreed at the time, having only listened to a few Mayer/Dead&Co versions of some of the tunes. I myself preferred Kadlecik who sounds more like Jerry. After seeing D&C live and listening to most all of their shows to date, I now, respectfully & happily have a much different opinion. I love John and what he is bringing to the latest iteration of the band, and like some band members have stated, I now like the fact that he doesn’t sound like Jerry. He is putting his own spin on the music we all love, in full collaboration with, and with the full support of the remaining band members (minus Phil of course). His passion for the music is quite evident and he brings a different kind of, dare I say, youthful energy to the band and the performance. His guitar playing is spot on (no it is not Jerry and never will be, but it is John and it is GD music), and his voice is his own, take it or leave it, I doubt neither him or the rest of the band really give a shit about what we think of their voices, nor should they. I have no control over when I was born, but I do love this music, and I know I am damn grateful that I can still see it live, the way it was meant to be heard, from band members who play the music with love & passion, and with a community that has unequivocal love for the same music and for each other, regardless of age or era. At least that’s how it’s supposed to be....I think? Maybe just my opinion, or are we all just a fucking cover band? I think not!!!!

    For the record, I also love cover bands, especially good ones, like The Schwag here in KC who I try to see at least twice a year. After all, the GD and JG did play a ton of great covers, but we seem to throw the term cover band around as if it’s some type of insult. Not really sure what that’s all about? Imitation is one of the greatest forms of flattery, which is a form of kindness. Be kind......

    Anyways, I’ll stop blabbing, and hope I’m not offending anyone. I may not agree with or understand all of the opinions out there, but I do respect them and I try to be respectful. Mine is just another one to throw on the fire....

    Dennis...you mentioned “ never argue with an idiot”...reminds me of...”never wrestle with a pig....you both get dirty, but the pig likes it!”

    DaveRock...I love Guilds, and that looks like a fun guitar. I have always loved the acoustic D55 Guild....behemoth of a guitar with a price tag to match, but it’s a beauty. My custom Turquoise/Triple Burst MJT VTT is supposed to be assembled next week so looking forward to finally getting that...been waiting around 18 weeks now!

    Enjoy the weekend Dead People

From what I can see UPS have not delivered any of the orders yet in the UK and now say they will arrive Monday. Whether they will still try and get the £76 of shipping charges is another matter. You should note that the customer is liable for customs charges, duties and taxes but not for additional shipping charges above what has been billed by the supplier. Hopefully the new delivery schedule is the result of the problem having been sorted at the despatch end. If not then I would still advise not paying the charge and refusing the order as a result before contacting Rhino to get it sorted.

As far as the DaP 18 vs DP 33 question, I am apparently in the minority, but I prefer DaP18 without hesitation. Look at the sequence on Disc 2 of DaP 18 - it is essentially one long sequence - Comes a Time>Drums>the Other One>Space>Eyes of the World>Jam>the Other One>Goin' Down the Road Feeling Bad>One More Saturday Night. Personally when one of the tracks on a dead release is labelled "Jam" it piques my curiousity and rarely leaves me disappointed. As I recall that the7/16-17/76 DaP 18 is one of those slow '76 shows, which really hits the spot for me, but is not everyone's cup of tea. The bonus disc is one of the better ones for my tastes also. I could go on more about DaP 18, but suffice it to say that one hits the spot for me. I just haven't really clicked with DP 33 the same way.

Currently spinning the first disc of DaP 31, which arrived today. Sounds pretty good to me at the moment on Brown Eyed Women.

The event feel of that pick is palpable and it shines right through on tape. Kind of like Lindley Meadows '75 or Englishtown '77 I think.

The real story is DP33 for 90 bones? That one was announced in the Almanac way back when for a paltry 25 bucks or something, no?

P.S. Apparently, I am not a robot. whew. close one.

Just digging in, but I wanted to flag one thing. This is the nicest art work I’ve seen on one of these by a good margin. I like how the interior of the sleeve matches the color scheme of the cover. I know you do that normally but this works better for me than usual. And I particularly like the inclusion of the photo of the tapes. Would appreciate that on all future picks.

Still waiting on DaP 31 in OKC. Looking like Monday will be the day. In the meantime, I get to check out Alice Cooper at the Zoo Amphitheatre tomorrow night. Should be interesting and it’s always fun at the Zoo! Incidentally some pretty decent Dead shows were held there in the 80’s.

Love them both. Dick's 33 with the two shows, the day on the green. Great performances and the sound quality is really good. Love Dave's 18 and Charlie is right the sequence on Disc 2 is wild. I still remember the first time I heard it thinking, I have never heard anything like this before. The Comes a Time and Eyes are awesome!. From a sound quality perspective it is not as good as the other 76 releases, but still great. I think about how good the sound quality is on Dave's 28 and I just think Norman continues to get better at this.

No 31 in sight for me until Wednesday 😭
Not sure why. Would love to hear more about how this one turned out.

I just walked in. Well, not just, I did pour a tall Grey Goose, heel it on out to the mailbox, etc. But I have arrived stale, not fresh from a four hour flight from Logan to Denver. Spent the week in Southern Maine getting tanned and drunk. The best time, always, with family baseball and football games thrown in both on the beach as well as the in-laws palatial lawn.

Dave's 31 unwrapped but not burned nor played yet, #5093. A low enough random number to satisfy. Nugs also nestled in there amongst the fish wrap, Dead & Co. 7/5 and 7/6. Shows I attended. Also knocking on the door freshly arrived Winterland NYE 1972 Dead, New Riders, something called Sons of Champlin.

All this new music, where to start? Dead & Co. 7/6, natch. Let's work backwards, Sherman.

Like others in Europe, I’ve been asked to pay £84 to receive my double subscription. I’ve refused to do this as (I) I’ve already paid for shipping and (II) there is no way the customs charges on $60 worth of discs would be anywhere near £80. My guess is that USPS is making at least £50 per shipment on top of what Rhino are paying them, possibly the full whack of what they’re charging.

I’ve emailed Dr Rhino via the website (is that the right way to go? and asked them to confirm when I’ll be able to collect my package without incurring charges. I have up until 5th of August after when I guess they returned to sender. What happens then, reshipment? Refund? I have no idea. For those of you faced with paying £73 for a single disc, you’re better off buying on eBay.

Re DiP 33 and DaP 18; for me DiP 33 is up there with the very best. I probably need to revisit it but was slightly disappointed with the 7/17 show at the time, although this goes against what some others have said. The 16/7 material, particularly the bonus disc, sounded better to these ears. If you do go for DaP 18, make sure you get the bonus disc.

I'm also a fan of DaP 18. The sound is different, no doubt. I wonder what accounted for that. I kind of like it in a weird way. Jerry sounds real clean and possibly has less distortion effect on his guitar. I haven't listened in a few months, but I think it primarily showcases Jerry in the left channel and Keith in the right. You've inspired me to put it on. I just remember enjoying the uniqueness of the mix, despite it having somewhat less fidelity.

They were right up there with the GD, Airplane, Janis, Quicksilver in the early days. Just didn't catch on like the others, although they still play gigs from time to time. I recall Mickey saying they were the most musically talented of the groups that came out of 60's San Francisco. They released a really good live album under the Grateful Dead Records label in 1998. Good band, very underrated.

Been a long hiatus in posting. #5377 hit the mailbox yesterday here in Vermont. Just breaking into disc one this morning. First round impression: very nice, freshness, great energy and audio quality very good, factoring in cassette master. Love the artwork. Will delve into disc 2 on the ride up to Burl for the JRAD show on the waterfront tonight. Joe is going to miss the show, announcement below from last night. Scattered T-storms should clear by late afternoon and the Delta Aquariids will peak around midnight. Happy meteor watching!

BREAKING NEWS: We want to send a big congrats out to Joe and his family, who just welcomed their second daughter into the world — three weeks earlier than expected! Unfortunately, this means he won't be able to make it to the show tomorrow. The inimitable Johnny Kimmock and Evan Roque are stepping up to the plate to fill in. The 200th JRAD show is shaping up to be a special one. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow

Haven't listen to it end to end,,,, maybe tomorrow at work. But I did listen to Scarlet -> Fire! This may take the place of the great one (the Ontario show from So Many Roads). This drives home the point Jim always make, if these shows were recorded with the care of early shows,,,, wow. We be talking about the 80's a lot more! There was a power that they obtained in the Brent era. I don't know if it was the "newer" sound system or Brent. But there is a GREAT need for the organ in their music and Brent provided that in spades. Plinky keys? Fuck you. (even the plinky keys I've heard rise up into the rafters during shows) I found the vocals to be a bit odd on this recording. Like they were recording too loud, but once the jams get there the recording is great. I have great separation and definition. My computer speakers are giving me about a 3-4 foot sound stage and maybe a foot deep. I think that once the jam starts and the volume levels go up the 'room' recording becomes the same as a air recording. I always thought their sound wasn't part of the environment, but defined the environment. When the sound left the stage and climbed up and out of the building. I'm just probably nuts, but this show is just what I wanted. Need to get a copy down to the car and give a another listen. But during Scarlet - Fire transition the tears were flowing down my cheeks from the shear beauty.

Good pick Dave.

Now about that box set......

I agree that if there were better 80's recordings then that period would be more highly regarded. Case in point: Going to Nassau. That compilation disc from a three night Spring 1980 Nassau Coliseum run has fabulous playing paired with a solid recording and The New Guy Brent to boot.

Listen to the Jack Straw from that 1980 Disc. Jerry plays it so furiously he sounds like a "speed-metal" player! The band builds up to the lyric "Jack Straw from Wichita cut his buddy down" with an intensity, and, such a ferocity and the band hits the lyric simultaneously while also coming down with a crescendo like Pete Townshend in Baba O'Reilly or Wont' Get Fooled Again! It is an awesome instance of the band hitting all cylinders and "hitting the mark" just exactly perfectly! Wow! It is little like Midnight Rambler in that the entire band hits that "Slam" just right.

So, yes, the 80s would get more respect if the recordings were as good as previously recorded eras. Can we teleport Betty with some $$$ back there?

I dream of them finding the chopped up for "Dead-Set" Warfield and Radio City tapes and piecing them all back together with today's wizardry. . .. Now that is a "Dream-Box-Set!"

Hey Dave, and, now for my usual and customary plug: Release a mini box-set of N.Y.C.'s MSG September 1979 shows. It would be an instant sell-out!

Just checked on UPS things are still not sorted on Suday eve July 28, and the tracking history is a mess, not sure where it is as comments skip between US and UK/ and the package has had two airport scans (25th and 27th) in Louisville two days apart - wtf.

It seems as the packages have a missing commecial invoice, are being held by a Government regulatory Agency.

Woohoo, backpacking in the impossibly beautiful Olympic Nat'l Park for two nights and come home today to 31, I'm having a good weekend! I really like this tour, besides Spring '90 probably Brent's best. More please, there was a TON of grate music in the Fall of '79. Dave mentioned 12.1 Pitts, PA in his video, maybe that is coming one day too. Agree you can really tell the difference in sound between eras.

Sorry Euro heads, that's a huge bummer.

CAPTCHA out of control.

Never heard of Sons of Champlin, will check that out. Hope everyone else gets theirs soon.

That sounds very cool stoltz - enjoy! I think I get your drift. It's almost like listening to music. I'm no spearhead either but do try to absorb as much as I can, when I can.

As for plinky keys, I can sympathize sometimes with Brent detractors, but just listen to the new Warfield release. Man, Brent was immaculate for those sets, every note right in the pocket. I'd bet even Keith would give Brent's work on those sets a solid thumbs up.

I wish we knew more about Keith. I've read most of the books out there but Keith still seems like a mystery. No video interviews? Nothing much written about his personality, influences, etc. Is Donna writing something? I sure hope so.

I get a repeating cracking/popping noise on disc 2 between about 6:50 -7:15 on PITB - is this a tape artifact that everyone is hearing, or a defect in my disc 2? It also seems to happen shortly after the 8 and 9 minute marks as well, but less prominently. Thanks for any answers.

Duupid post office!
Gave me a counter dealy in my box instead of leaving the package in a locker, probably too much work for Saturday.......assume it’s Dave?....Dooooooo! Probably won’t have time until Wednesday! Doooooooooo!
Evil Basterds, I swear they “KNOW” and do it on purpose!! Dooooooooo!

Oh well”all good things in all good time”
Been pre-gaming with other fall 79 shows.....also hit up those Floyd live bonus material from the Dark Side and Wish You Redos......nice!
Yeeeeshhk,, through the fog, remembering now some High Res Dire Straits; Brothers in Arms and Some assorted High Res Eagles for fucks sake...the things that happen after midnight!
12/1/79 partial 2nd set transfer from meh tape. The jams of course kick ass, and the Gloria etc, but I still like 11/6 better!
11/5/79 DL series Meh? Kinda flat...remember this being better?
11/6/79 DL series Still an all time favorite! Definetly my favorite of what I’ve heard from this tour!
11/9/79 PO RT Vol 1 # 1, was there 10th row, and a birthday show, so biased......
10/27/79 30 Trips, first listen! Solid show, but still like 11/6 better...
12/30/79 RT bonus, nice but a chop/comp.
ok, I think I’m warmed up, perhaps too much so?
Need the Real Deal already.....
DOOOoooooooooo!
Duupid Postman!
