    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.”

    another observation...

    So I enjoyed disc one of DaP 31 two nights ago and looked forward to the show taking off, with disc two last night. So I regret to say that Jer's fingers weren't nimble enough for Scarlet and it was painful to hear. I thought, maybe a full-blown rocker will find him reconnecting, but I noticed on Truckin' that he doesn't play the opening/descending diad (correct term?) very well -- my diagnosis: H-fingers (hint: like tequila fingers but more dangerous). If you check out the liner notes' pic of Jer, he's a bit too happy and squint-eyed for his own good.

    I did in fact enjoy disc one and the filler material sounded like he cooled it on night 2. But I aborted the DaP 31 listen and regrouped with DaP 14 (3-26-72, Academy of Music) and enjoyed some truly ripping Truckin' and Playing.

    I don't mind Dave using the 3rd pick of the year to explore, say, cassette masters, or a very different style of show. There will be (and has been) some filler in past 3rd picks. But I'm afraid my ears and sensibilities make DaP31 difficult to enjoy.

    I look forward ... generally ... and, specifically, to a clean '91 Jer at tomorrow's movie, news of the box and all the great music still to come our way.

    On a fun note, I found a setlisting for Jer's Shining Star dbl-CD from 2002. Turns out I attended the JGB at MSG show on 11-16-91, when they recorded the opening, title track. And that the rest of the release covers 1989-1993. With GarciaLive 11 from Nov '93, which I really enjoy despite Jer's worn voice, I had to know what other late-era JGB I had. Discovered that I also had an unofficial recording of 4-27-94/Warfield and both the performance and SQ are all there.

    Moral of the story: Jer in late '79 was playing with fire, eventually everyone got badly burned, but he did turn in some great years later on when he was clean. And getting clean involves tremendous willpower. Jer did it for the music and the band, it would appear. I credit him for that. (12-3-79, not so much.)

    I'll chalk up DaP 31 to a momentary lapse on Dave's part and look forward to mo' bettuh recordings in the future.

    ANNALEE10 ARK 1969!!!

    Yes, ARK 1969, with a sprinkling of, say 4/5 and 4/6/69.....a period when the heat was always turned way up. Or, as Jerry said, in 1975: "We'd like it be louder...."

    Tried again

    I listened to it again and that will be the last time. I find it almost insulting that Dave can talk for over twenty minutes about how great this show is. There are some nice moments, but that’s about it. Bobby’s tunes are decent and the band sounds good. It made me depressed to listen to Jerry so out of it. This isn’t era bias, I saw my first show in 83. I thought the shows from 80 to 84 in the porch crusher were all strong even if the sound quality was lacking especially on the 81 and 82 shows. I want more good 80s releases, but if this is Dave’s definition of good then its time to high tail it back to the 60s or 70s......It’s all opinion and this is just mine🤪
    Hopefully Ark 69 gets released tomorrow.

    Scarlet>Fire-Breathing Dragon Cover Art

    Dave’s Picks v. 31 landed here yesterday. Glad, but not surprised to hear Dr. Rhino's figured out a work-around for those of you whose copy was being held for ransom overseas. Hang in there! As a diversion while you wait, and as requested by others, here’s my hot-off-the-press, corrected and squared scan of Tyler Crook's cover art. Enjoy and pass it around.

    https://www.dropbox.com/sh/u6z7eyk91rxl86w/AAAKgB8qgn1tc4nfeuVALevSa?dl…

    Also, if you’re interested, the link also includes Bill Walker's updated version of his Anthem of the Sun cover. In 1968 Walker rushed not-quite finished cover art for Anthem to Warner Bros. The rest is history, or so we thought. I ran across a jambands article (https://jambands.com/news/2019/07/26/grateful-dead-artist-bill-walker-t…) recently that brought the story up to date. Turns out, in 1989, Walker decided to work back into his painting, flesh out the design and add detail he’d left out 20 years earlier. You can either pony up 4 grand for your very own print at https://www.anthemprints.com/home or put up with what I was able to cobble together for free (or both!?).

    Now crank the music! Onward.

    Appreciate your honesty. I, too, felt the show was a bit 'low' on intensity, weak.........on a plus side: the box is due to be announced soon, hopefully something a little more explosive....1968, 1969. Or a 1969, 1970 1980 acoustic-electric combo might a nice flip-of-the-switch.

    OR, as many are yearning (myself included): Fall 1972, when that E72 vibe was still wailing from the shores across the pond.

    Also, if you really love 1979...give 11.1.79 a whirl. Explosive, compared to Da31

    DaP 32 not 80s

    RV3 I doubt the last Pick will be an 80s show, Dave said in his video for this one that 30 was basically a 60s>70s bridge show, and this one was like an 80s show even if it occurred in the decade of the 70s. Pretty sure he also said not to expect an 80s Pick for the next one. That doesn't rule out a 90s Pick, but think they go back to '72-74 for the last one of the year, especially if the Box is from the latter Era as is predicted.

    *Re/ Shipping problem

    ...the shipping issue has been addressed and most importantly has been corrected. Rhino is paying the bill, everyone should be grateful everything is being handled very quickly and there is concern from Rhino, “human Error” problems are far from what’s wanted from the logistics side of all places...it’s just gonna take some time, not much but enough to cause some negative outbursts, which is totally acceptable and human nature. Everyone’s entitled to feel their emotions in their own way. What’s accountable is the action you take after you address your issue at hand...I try my best to stay positive in times like these. One step at a time. “Easier said than done”, As the saying goes...I’m back with Daves Pick #31 in my Audio player. I put an empty soda pop bottle on one of my ‘stage left’ speakers before Disc #2 started. A cupple Of plunks from Phil and the boys and soda pop bottle fell to the floor, under 90 seconds lol, my rug collection covers the floors so no broken glass to worry about in my ‘music room’ plus the bottles are pretty thick for a coke a cola. Lol, old school! What’s to add but once again, this latest release sounds sweet on my system, my room raidiates in vibrations of beauty! Have a grateful day everyone!
    Later today I Have the release of “Grateful Dead closing of Winterland” 1978. I wanna take a few steps back from 1979 and review 1978 again which I also have high regards for this era in performing, when it was released it was considered the best quality at the time, and also on 24-track audiotape! Still have a love for this 4Cd release/soundtrack, Full Show & theirs film available if wanted, which to me is always a plus in my book! The CD Set sound better to me than the DVDs, the last time I heard them, lol ha ha, today just playing the CDs. Primo Dead. Rock on!

    Impression of #31

    Musically you can tell that the addition of Brent was a shot of inspiration sonically and there are some great moments - but the overall downer of Jerry's energy on this night is just too much to overcome. I hate to say it - but he seems just too high, a case a the H-flu-bug - his voice has that classic nasal/flu sound he is just in a fog on vocals and guitar, like almost nodding off mid tune foggy. Ill keep supporting DP with my subscriptions but overall this one actually kind of bummed me out in retrospect knowing where Jerry's drug problems were heading

I'm still thinking it will include something from the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's.

ps. I so thankful that we get these vault release so people have something to complain about. I guess we could go back to the days of third and fourth gen cassettes of really good clean Jerry shows.

Enjoyable show. Great sound and mix. A lot of whiners on this board. Expect every show to be the best show EVER. I have a theory. Third show of a year is always less known. Fourth show and 1st of the coming year have to sell the subscription. Second show has bonus. Stop the whining. Its a bore.

I emailed Dr Rhino yesterday, and got a generic response thanking me for my patience, but advising me that due to the "high-volume of email traffic I will respond to your email within 5 business days."
Looking at the tortuous tracking information last night, I saw that it was still out there for delivery somewhere, with the same expectation of me paying £73 + on delivery for freight charges.

Don't build your hopes up!
UPS delivered mine yesterday. Courier said customs paid.
Today I had a phone call from UPS requesting payment £73.92 which I ain't paying.
They're sending courier back out tomorrow to collect. So I expect I'll see it again soon??

This makes me very happy that 6/17/91 is getting a solo release; methinks it will be included in this box (although I believe someone had already speculated/potentially confirmed this elsewhere); similar to how they also did a stand alone release for 'Wake up to Find Out' when it was also included in one of the Spring '90 boxes.

... I would wait until you see the film before pre-ordering or if your not attending, wait for Reviews to be published/posted HERE or elsewhere, it’s your choice. 😉Imagine if they offered the opportunity to do that with every concert that was recorded both Audio & Film!!! That would be Primo! Lol, it would be a total deffent business model they operate under right now and would Effect Sales. I bet Some fans would pay extra just for the opportunity/chance! Lol ha ha ... who knows maybe after that you won’t be interested in adding this Vinyl/CD release to your collection.

Ok...so i was reading this article with an interview with Bruce Hornsby just now, and I came across a very interesting reference/mention by Bruce therein; it goes like this (and please note his VERY LAST SENTENCE):

"... Look, I’ve spent my career collaborating and getting calls from amazing people. There was the Dead, maybe the single most amazing collaboration. It was a beautiful, often transcendent experience to do that, and maybe especially earlier with Garcia. I wouldn’t trade anything for that. I was so influenced by them as a songwriter. Obviously, the younger generation of forward-thinking musicians feels the same way, hence this several CD Grateful Dead compilation that was put together."

https://www.stereogum.com/2038972/bruce-hornsby-spike-lee-grateful-dead…

I'd say that's a decent hint as to what's about to blow open with this box.

Sixtus

Yep - probably a hint at what's to come (though he could also be referencing the compliation of GD covers from modern bands that was put out a couple years ago). Either way, it should be an exciting day (and looks like I'm WAY off my prediction of a set from 76)!

I was really looking forward to it, but was on call and of course 20 min before show time the phone rings. But from what I hear everyone had a good time. However, there was no box announcement here. Apparently it's a U.S. only announcement.

That’s my prediction.

That way everyone gets the announcement at the same time. Tonight’s reveal will show what the Box looks like.

If it turns out to be a high-demand Box, can this website handle the onslaught?

Hi you all, who were in the same situation confronted with an extra charge for transportation to europe (esp. Germany). Today UPs stands at my door and delivered Dave's Picks No. 31 without any extra costs. Dr. Rhino has cleared the situation. So all will get well.

The good ol Grateful Dead are my favorite band and have been for forty years. But the fact is is that they were very mediocre quite often, especially in the last 15 years. There are great shows from that period, but this isn’t one. There are at least ten shows from fall 79 that are better then this release. Dissenting respectful opinion should be welcomed and not looked down upon. My opinion is that the Ramble on Rose, Althea and Terrapin and others are painful to listen to. Just listening to the filler from the next night shows a more awake Jerry.
I don’t expect every release to be great, but there are plenty of good shows left in the vault and my opinion is is that this wasn’t one of them. Maybe Dave walked into the vault to grab 12-1-79 and a blue heron flew by and distracted him and he grabbed the wrong show.....I have lots of great shows to listen to, including the first two picks this year and I’m grateful for that. I guess my point is that just because it’s the Grateful Dead and Dave says it’s a great show doesn’t make it so.

People paying and supporting the cause have a right to voice an opinion, as do you. If that wasnt Jerry and the Dead and you heard a live recording of that show I think youd be more critical. This band and Jerry get a lot of slack for the rough nights and its well deserved - they gave us everything they had to the music. When it was a live show I took whatever they had on a given night and was always grateful. It was what it was in the moment. But now that its Dave picking shows and selling goods online 24 years after Jerry left, I think we can request better material or feel free to voice when we think he laid an egg. Sorry that offends your senses - but to my ears, Jerry, sadly, is a total wreck on DP31 . Glad your ears hear it different and that youre enjoying it though - if you want an extra copy Ill sell you mine at face value

Just got mine. just uploaded to Itunes. I for one know I'm going to love this one immediately so will save my thoughts until after a listen.

Bummed to have to miss the Meet-Up. It will be epic. Not playing anywhere near me withing a 6 hour round trip drive. This is the second time they've overlooked my city. All previous showing played in my hometown. sure, attendance was less than stellar, but the money is in the release. Hope this is the box.

Hope I can afford the box. Hope it doesn't sell out before I can order one. These always seem to come out when I'm between pay periods and/or low on funds. If it is Giants '91, hope the edition numbers are high enough. sometimes they don't print enough copies of these to accomodate demand.

Whatever the case, the movie and box will no doubt be awesome.

Happy Birthday Jerry!

Also, any HQ scans of the cover from Dave's Picks 31up yet?

Thanks! Hope everyone is enjoying your Summer.

Listening to it with headphones - sounds good enough to these middle aged ears. Dave is right - from Oct through December, 1979 is full of fun, energized performances. Really like this little pocket in time and I'm happy to have this release.

and I still don't remember much from the July 31/Aug 1 GD/Band shows in lovely Roosevelt Stadium. They could've filmed Bladerunner there...

It rained at least one night. And on Aug. 1, a woman riding on someone's shoulders was able to approach the lip of the stage and hand a birthday cake up to Jer. The music? I confess to few specific memories.

The run-up, though, was, in today's parlance, "epic." That was July 26 (travel), 27(soundchecks), 28 (shows) at Watkins Glen. We walked away from the all-star jam as Jer broke into Dylan's Takes a Lot to Laugh... and we got on the road because we had to. Made it home on the 29th. The very next day we go to a two-nighter with the GD and The Band. Guess I had a good time!

Let's do the math... In six days, I saw the GD and The Band play four shows each. Together. Throw in two Allman Brothers shows. So that's ten shows in six days. Probably explains why the first few days were memorable and the second half of the game is a bit fuzzy.

But I'm still on my feet! Confessions, confessions....

On to the movies, the box set and more summer.

After reading Dave's description of the DP31 first set I was prepared to be blown away by this show. Sorry to say it is not living up to expectations. Maybe unfair to judge having only listened to the 1st set but it's pretty mediocre. Sounds like the Scarlet > Fire may have potential but AARGH. Audience patch in Fire! C'mon, really? Not the first time one of these offerings has been a disappointment through the years. I'm sure plenty of hard work goes into these releases and I will continue to subscribe since it's an easy Christmas gift for my wife to get me but I hope future choices will be more satisfying. BTW, we saw them 3 weeks later in Oakland and they were on fire.

Not quite the same issue as you but according to the tracking, mine has been sitting in the OKC post office for 5 days now! Obviously not Rhino/Dead.net's fault but frustrating.

DP 31 captures the Dead at a good moment in '79. They were definitely in the groove for this show and it has "that swing". Sit on your porch, open a cool one and let this music wash over you as the sun goes down, remove all negativity from your mind and you will experience the music the way did way back in '79!

Box is ordered, looking forward to seeing what it will look like. Given the source material, I anticipate that the sound should be excellent.
Edit: Actually, I was at the July 12, 1987 show, makes it even cooler. Saw the July 10, 1987 show in Philadelphia at JFK Stadium also that summer.

Blue ray box ordered - only 6000! Nice size for me and in the range of affordable on my pension so I am a happy Deadhead. Now if I could just get to hear DP31 :-))
Overseas Deadheads have always been here. I traded tapes via Relix adds from the late 70’s. Those that have their DP31 treasure it or pass it on. Peace & love to all.

Still waiting
Why????
The address on my package forgot to put the apartment #
So now it goes back to the sender
It takes 2 days to respond to a email
Never had this problem before
I wish all releases were digital
I wouldn’t have to deal with this mail foolishness
Also it would stop the “mark ups” on eBay later
Anyway I’ll get the Chicago Dave’ s pick sooner or later
Forgetting to put a apartment # for a Brooklyn Mailing ........madness!!!!!

Had a casual listen to the first set this evening driving around in the Toyota. It’s All Over Now was a standout for me. And I really like the well placed cannonballs in Jack A Roe. Have they had those before? I am assuming they came from Mickey rather than Bill. Maybe he was listing to Tchaikovsky’s 1812 before the show.

Sound wise, I think the vocals mesh better with the instrumentation than last year’s DaP 27 Boise. Could be better, but unobtrusive when the volume is kept reasonable. You can really tell when Jerry leans into the mic.

Looking forward to a close listen of Set II tomorrow.

Carry on!

Here in the Netherlands I see exactly the same information.

Delivery is scheduled for Monday. The freight charge of 81.88 EUR is still shown. I just hope they don't ask for payment on delivery. Optimism levels rising, blood pressure falling...

I saw the bulk of my shows in the '78 - '80 time frame, so I was looking forward to this release very much. I have listened to it once and found that I like it. I will be listening to it continually for the next week as I usually do. I like to really dig into any new release. Are there some ballads that seem a bit more slow then usual? Sure, but it is certainly not the train wreck some of you had led me to believe it might be. Just goes to show that every listener hears things differently.

I sign onto this forum first thing every morning, and check back on it constantly throughout the day. You Dead Heads are my kind of people. So it is with love and caring that I have to say to some here: PEOPLE! GET OVER IT"! Every release will not be Veneta! Just because Althea comes off a bit slow does not mean you have to comment on Jerry's heroin addiction, or his diet, or his traumatic life! Maybe he had a headache or a bellyache this night? Maybe he had just had a blow up with his wife / girlfriend? Maybe he just wanted to try it slower tonite as was his want, to keep changing it up to keep it interesting.

I think we all have the right to comment on the music, but try to keep it to that. Not to pontificate here, but none of us was on stage or back stage that night so none of us knows exactly what happened. All I know is, even when I hear a show that I thing is not up to par, it is still better then 95% of the crap I hear out there today. So I will sit back and enjoy this one and if I come across a show that is not too good, I will put it on the shelf and await hungrily for the next one.

I was in good shape for the first set ;)))

at set break I ate a couple pieces of candy ("green M&Ms", not electric ones)

the theater was 2/3 full, with a lot of space in the front row. so I moved up there and looked up at the screen with full sound.

"Giants Stadium". from my vantage point, it looked like everyone in the band was a 10 foot tall giant.

It was cool.

Phenomenal show. The sound was soooooo good.
