Just like the singular Cornell, just like the one later called Sunshine Daydream, just like hallowed Hampton, DeKalb stands legend on its own as one of the most sensational performances the Grateful Dead ever did do. Early tape-trading circles earmarked the show as upper-echelon and when you have a listen, we're sure you'll be inclined to agree. The original reel-to-reel recordings have been shined and polished to perfection, showcasing mighty fine fret work, sparkling keys, and unparalleled harmonies. In fact, we can hardly pick favorites - from start to finish, there's just too much good stuff!

#33 Received copy in BKLYN

Got #20313 in Brooklyn
Yeah !!!!!!
Still haven’t received #32 yet
Called customer service with the usual “we don’t have a CLUE when you will get it
So since Dead.net or whomever has anything to do with this....doesn’t really care I decided that enuff is enuff and filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and hopefully will resolve my missing #32
Which by the way didn’t get to me because it was lacking my apartment number on the label . Mind you #31 was delayed for the same reason. I’m a patient person but honestly this has gotten ridiculous so hopefully the BBB will help me out .....

First time through from front to back. I like how this show feels good to listen to. The Sugar Mag at the end just smokes. Kudos to Billy and Mickey on that one.

Also received a copy of GarciaLive 12. Love the loosened and solid groove by the quartet. The vocals of Sarah Fulcher is at times inspired and other times too much. An interesting peak into the Jerry & Meri Boarding House program.

Overall I think Dave picked a great one and the sound is superb. My one criticism is that with all of the Oct 77 material cut up and used as over multiple releases and filler why none was included on disc 2? Besides that this is another great puck. Thanks Dave, Mark and everybody else who puts these out. 34 will be an epic release with bonus disc. I can only imagine what else is in store.

Grateful Dead Evens field house

Might as well we said when ordering this special one. Pick up two . One for our Best man Jim that night. He worked on the concert committee that year while going to school there. We all missed that show. Jeff and I were Married Oct 29 1977. and still are. The dead came to Chicago a lot thanks god. It was a tough one to miss. My parents gave us a Big wedding so we just had to show. We have heard this show many times over the years . The CD is great quality. Listening on our Old Pioneer speakers from 77. as usual they rock!
. #3133 and Jims is# 8310. Peace all. Enjoy the show and the ride. There is nothing like a Grateful Dead Show!

I finally got a chance to listen to set 2 last night. While It's quite excellent in most every way, there just is no big "Snap, Crackle, or Pop" that really floats the proverbial boat. Overall, a truly enjoyable show, and I see why some folks like the first set better. My second set highlights would be FOTD, and Space>>Black Peter. There's literally nothing bad about the show, I think I'm just getting a little jaded. Also, my favorite years are '68-'72, so that might have something to do with it. In any case, that's my tuppence.
Have a peaceful day all.

Obtained a copy of 10/29/77 during the mid-late 90s. At the time, we were not listening to so much Dead, but we’re so enamored with the new official releases, (especially the quality and sound) that were trickling out, that I decided (for various reasons) that I should go through the tapes, condense, keeping handy the best couple dozen, while storing the rest. So I went through every tape, color coding by sound, and storing according to classification.
Big job, but fortunately I had a lot of time, the bills were mostly taken care of, and it was a good chance for some closure after the Fat Man stopped rocking.
So I wasn’t really looking for more tapes...but a source my cousin knew had some good shit so I checked some out. Dekalb 77 was one of those. And though I didn’t keep the whole show, I loaded a good portion onto a 100, 110 minute tape as I was into that at the time to help downsize. Point being, it must of been really good to keep it then...
Now, almost 25 years later, and surprisingly only after a ton of other 77 stuff, here it is in all its Normanized glory!
MIGHT AS WELL; still jumps right outta the gate even after all these years. Not perfect, but in a good way. After Jer has a little vocal hiccup, it’s like they step it up to compensate. The jam, both Bob and Jer take nice leads but then Jerry drops out and it kinda fizzles back into the last verse.
But the big finish is perhaps why this version is known so well.
After, Bob says they need to get their space together, and he kinda sounds like it, lol.
JACK STRAW: perhaps not nuclear, but nothing here is, in a good way. Much of this show I kept thinking “their relaxed, in no hurry, the peaks build like huge swells on the ocean, Their tight, confident, just letting the music play. This is consistent through the first 4 or 5 songs, with perhaps the vocals, or more accurately the harmonies and the mix being the slight exception. The sound is good from the start, but as is normal, as they progress through the first set, entrain, and really start to gel, they and the vocal mix gets even better. In LLR the piano starts to show up in the mix nicely, and buy LOSER things are really fine. Another little vocal flub about 3:30 in, but no biggie and their use of dynamics during this show is blowing me away. JG is totally taking his time trying to get just the right gnarly tone during this one, versus a bunch of notes! It’s so nice to be able to really sit down and listen like this.
So after another big finish, Im thinking “space has been gathered” but Bob says otherwise, and again I wonder if he’s serious or just messing with the kids, who sound like their really digging it.
The next few are more of the same, with Keith stepping out more as evident with some tasty fills in RAMBLE ON ROSE, and by the time they finish ROSES, Phil is exalting that it’s the “happiest day” of his life. Curious what that’s all about, perhaps Keithfan or one of you headphone guys can pick up what their joking about?
LIG: relaxed, smooth, tight, awesome, totally on dynamics, it’s no wonder many rate this version so high.
Now I’m not all that up on 77, but to me, this ones something different, comparatively, to others. Like the Swing, it almost feels like a 76 show, except their more confident?
Comparing the 2 Estimated’s really illustrates this. The new songs are tighter now. It’s like when your riding pow, pow, and your in good shape, your core is solid, man you have it together so you can just sorta effortlessly float on top, like riding a big fluffy wave....that’s how this show sounds to me!
BERTHA: mix really starts to fill out, Keith especially, and about 5 minutes in they really start to bring it. Still unstrained, but louder, perhaps a little looser, but powerful. Maybe the pre-Set rituals are kicking things up? GOOD LOVIN’: at first transitions nicely, but then?, perhaps their still gathering their space after break time, lol, but that doesn’t last long and by about 4 minutes in their really on things, with Keith full on now, and the drummers/Mickey? Perhaps even getting a tad too strong?
Perhaps that’s why Jerry brings it down a bit with FOTD. But not much, as again, the use of dynamics is awesome, wooooooo! The crowds loving it too....
ESTIMATED: a smooth version with the peaks again like ocean swells versus high octane pedal to the meddle style, nice! After 3 listens I actually kinda like Keith’s weird synth sound, whereas on first listen it was kinda jarring and annoying.
So then, a no frills, tight, transition into EYES, with a nice little improv going in, and JG sets the feel about 1:10 in, which though post-hiatus, has such a nice relaxed mellow feel, but in a totally good way. Drums and Bass are perhaps a bit loud during the vocals, but this train is way outta the station by now. The choruses are a bit clunky, musically, like their still making the “new” band transition on this one, but the jam makes up for any of that, with a nice drop into my favorite part of this show, the space jam! At first I thought Phil was riffing on Dazed and Confused, but no, just some sweet, sweeet, weirdness! JG getting that giant bull frog tone with the mutron I love, but just briefly, then shhhhhh.........wow, that is some good shit! Does anyone know of any other 77 like this because I could dig more of this? So then they slide into STEPHEN sorta slow and slinky, compared to say an urgent, crackling 69 version, but again, in a good way.
The Harmonies perhaps a little rougher, but they, and the song in general build up nicely and then falls into a nice Bo Diddly drums and Bass into of course NFA.
“Not to tall, not too expensive”, er, a, not too long or loud, but like cruising on a wave like this whole awesome show! Nice Jam!, out of which you half expect a return to Stephen, but then they bring back down nice again into a decent PETER.
Some nice fireworks to close things out and I think it’s safe to say, you, me, the band, and the crowd are all feeling pretty good about now, boo-yah!
Occasional, consensual weekends with Supermodels might not be so bad, especially if they can’t get their space together😉

Dekalb show - first thoughts

I got my Dave's 33 over the weekend and have given it one full listen. I have never given this show a focused listen before. Have heard about it for a very long time, but for some reason this was my first real listen to it.

Great dancing show. Super high energy. Jerry seems very inspired. Its as though he is doing finger dexterity exercises with his scales in a lot of these tunes. The guitar solo in St Stephen is insane. I can't remember hearing anything like that in the tune before.
My favorite track on one listen is Black Peter. Definitive version. Has to be top 5. A tune I love to hear throughout the 70s recordings and this one stands out immediately.
The Eyes of the world is also hot, but I agree with another post that the band is playing squarely on the beats in this show. Maybe Mickey's influence... You can really hear it in the Eyes, a little too much for my taste.

Overall, very happy with this show and I will be listening for a while. Super hot energy. Glad to hear this classic.
I can't wait for Miami 74. A personal favorite since the cassette times. Beautiful mellow energy and playing in that one.

Hope ya'll are doin well out there. Turn it up!

Known knowns and unknown knowns

Nice Rumsfeld reference there Jim! I've had this show for a long time, too, and I do love the better sound on this copy. I didn't go down the '77 rabbit hole since getting it, but I did take the other 2 DaPs from Fall '77 (12 11/4/77 and 25 11/6/77) and made a "supershow" of my favorite bits. A lot of DeKalb's 1st set made it, and it ended up being as long as 5/17/77, the longest May '77 show, and kind of impractical on the setlist, but it coalesces the more hit and miss nature of Fall '77 into a more cohesive May-like show. And it lets me hear the highlights on two other shows that I found good and not great. I'm super stoked for 34, and the bonus disc will be new to me, but for 35, I would love a known unknown, or even an unknown unknown. Prime example of that would be something like 11/17/71 DaP 26 or the greatest unknown unknown in this release heavy era: 7/1/78 Arrowhead.

Rolling Stones tour

This week an electronic billboard on my commute home has been showing the Stones lips and tongue logo and the words “miss you”.
So I looked into it.

https://www.jambase.com/article/the-rolling-stones-tour-2020

Talk about high ticket prices. They’re the worst offenders.

I saw them once, 1989, maybe I should go again.

May 11, 1977 St. Paul

Back to May 77 but the first box. I find myself for some reason listening to these more than GSTL box... I like the design of the first box so much more than GSTL, which made me feel I was pulling out the video discs (pre-dated beta and vhs)... i know someone spoke about space versus jam, the other day, there is a space label between Uncle John's Band and Wharf Rat instead of Jam.. bob t

Ticket prices....

....Ween is coming to sin city in March. $74 including fees and $5 to mail an actual ticket to my house (because I'm old and like physical products). Not bad and a no brainer.

Dap 33

Disk 3 is smoking. Estimated>eyes>space>st.stephen.

Firing up DeKalbs third disc....

....never got this one in my tape collecting daze. Keith sounds really good.
Bob T' s comment of GSTL's video disc / laser disc comparison hit home with me. I member berry those. I also member berry they were over $100 back in 1981. Being able to watch movies at home was revolutionary, and very expensive. Dad didn't pony up for a player, but he did get a VHS. Chunky buttons and all. Remote connected by a five foot cord. Roots was my first experience in that medium.

Laser disks

I remember those disks. I think they were housed in a way just like albums in album covers. You put the whole disk in the player then pull out the empty holder till the movie was over then place the holder back into the machine and the disk automatically returned to the holder so you never touched the disk at all.

Laser discs delivery method....

....you are on point Carlo. The first time I saw one, my 13 year old mind was blown. Then I went back to my Atari 2600 because that was mind blowing as well.
Did I mention how good Keith sounds in DeKalb? Apparently a warm up for burning a Holiday Inn bed the next morning. He was on fire!!
"I'm not a piano player, but I spent last night at a Holiday Inn."

Rolling Stones Tour

Icecrmcnkd...what price experience ? I saw then numerous times between 1973 and 2006, and they always seemed expensive. But they were always worth it.

In fact generally, I can't remember ever buying a ticket and feeling sorry that I coughed up so much for the ticket. There are quite a few I regret not going to though. We pass this way but once. I think.

Art Work

hey does anyone possibly might have scanned art work for this Dave's Picks to share ? for whatever reason the admin from album art exchange is blocking people with VPN's addresses and what not. or people he is randomly deeming to be hackers? or so i've read on his twitter site.

Another Year, Another Missing Disc

Hi Everyone,

Posting here again because I think I'm at the end of my rope with this. I've still not received Vol. 32, and now we're into 2020 and Vol. 33 is nowhere to be found. I don't understand why they can't include tracking numbers for shipments (especially international ones) - I thought these were generated automatically.

I've written to Marye (she's great!) and she's helped in getting the Dr. to reply - but time there's just been radio silence on these issues. The lack of efficient customer service is really getting to be too much.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Matt in China

Vanity plates

First - sorry to everybody still waiting on 33 (or 32 and other items for that matter).

But that aside.... driving in this morning and was passed by a car with a giant Stealie on the window. Next noticed the plate - AMDEW. Given the nasty wintery mix we’re having this morning it should have been CLDRN&SNW.

Who’s got some cool plates? Here in Mass can only do six characters and can’t start with numbers so limits the outcome a little.

Enjoy and good luck for those waiting for packages

Re: May '77 Box 1

Bob, I'm with you on the first May 77 box set. It's probably simply a function of having five vs. four shows.. but there were surprises there for me. I'm going to drift away from '77 for a while, but I probably will be back in May for at least a few shows.

I would like to see them mix it up a little after '74. Something further off the beaten path.

Sorry to hear Chinamatt..

Connected Remote

VGuy for the win - a connected remote control for your VHS??? WOW

We had a VHS player that we got on Christmas as a family in like 1980-something. I vividly recall my dad being like "He's our first family movie we're going to watch on our new VCR (on Christmas Day No Less): RAMBO!" Ha. But we never had an actual connected remote; which seems to almost defeats its purpose...almost.

Glad folks are enjoying their spins on 33. Book-ended by burning beds, that explains the hot show here...heh.

Be Well People and travel safely to those around Beantown today.

@GreenMtnDead...

I worked at a friend's diner in Lenox for about six months in '98...driving down the Mass Turnpike one day I saw a car with a "Even Bobby Fans Need Love" bumper sticker drive by me...made me laugh out loud...

Off topic w/ Stones tix

Well, as much as I love the Stones (been going to shows since 1969), I think I'll be passing this time around...the closest gig is in San Diego which will be just a bit too much to drive from No AZ...besides I had such a blast last August at their Phoenix area show I can live off of it...they do an advanced ticket sale for what is called "Lucky Dip" seats...you buy very cheap tickets and you don't know where you're sitting until you pick up your tickets at the will call window the day of the show...the last gig I bought two for $25 each...since nosebleeds were $75 I figured no matter where the seats were I was coming out ahead...come day of the show we went to the will call window...I gave the ticket agent my ID and order number and he had me stick my arm into the window so he could put a wristband on me with an additional wristband with a ticket for the Stage Pit right in front of Keith...we both just about fainted (it was a 112 degrees after all) and made our way in...was on my feet for nearly 5 hours but it was worth it...great show, great time...those pit passes by the way went for $450...

Stones tix on sale 2/14

The billboard told me so.

VHS and the "wire"

our first vhs was rented because they were like 700 bucks to buy. Me and a buddy split the rental cost. We were looking to tape all the monty pythons that were on pbs at the time. Even the damn tapes were expensive, we taped every thing in 6 hour mode to save tape! And yes, it had a 'wired' remote.

VCRs

We didn’t have one, but you could rent them at the supermarket. They came in a metal case that we were able to modify to get access to the one, mono audio out. We’d use a Y splitter and hook up to the stereo and watch The Dead movie or what other limited Concert movies we could get. It’s funny now, but back then that was sorta high tech!
Guess I was destined for AV?

KCJ: congrats on the win, but no comment on “the ensemble?

The Wire and Cassettes

Reading the VCR w/ wired remotes (is it really a remote at all if it's wired?), reminds of early tape trading.

I got some of my better tapes early on taping the FM broadcasts of New Years shows, taping David Gan's Grateful Dead Hour in addition to sending friends off with boxes of 10 cassettes at a time. That was high end technology back in the day.. much like the wired VHS remotes of the same day.

We've come a long way. I still think back with amazement when One From the Vault was announced and soon of the heels came Dicks Picks 1. Heaven.. like that scene in 2001 when they plan the theme song and show the plaque in the background. The next plaque came when BTree hit followed by Archive.org.

Charlie Miller should be a Medal of Honor recipient. Man, we've come a long way.
Now back to regularly scheduled drumz and space. I think I am going to flip flop between late 60's and mid to late 80's this week.. just to keep my ADHD in check.

VGUY72 - Ween...

...will not disappoint! Looking forward to seeing them again in my hometown on 4/4. I haven't seen them live since 2000 so really looking forward to it.

D&C

Looks like tour dates are final. Starts in Boulder at Folsom Field on July 10th, ends just about a month later at Fenway Park, Boston on August 8th. No surprises here except that there are no West Coast shows announced.. late summer / early fall for that?

Cool EP

Had a chance to give this at least a semi-distracted listen and a half so far. Finishing up a second listen, spinning disc 3 now, and that is a cool Estimated Prophet, may be one of my favorite versions, for the moment at least. That Eyes is no slouch either. The whole show has a nice flow to it, glad to have it.

The Ensemble

Sorry Oro...loved it man, just wasn’t sure how to add to it. Don’t worry though...took notes and already been shopping for some Italian leather boots and a pink paisley vest. I already have a hat that will work and plenty of GD T-shirt’s. Maybe some nice cutoff Jorts would complete it 🤔

On that note let’s cut to the Chiefs parade....some folks up in tree tops, just lookin for their...oh fuck...ouch!!!!

https://twitter.com/cantdeal_/status/1225094427217141761?s=21

Don’t worry, I’m Ok!

Chiefs parade

...just so that wasn’t you trying to drive in the parade, lol 😉

Connected remote

I think I have you all beat. Our vcr had a connected remote too. But it was only one slide switch to pause the movie. That's it. Ha

Wasn’t Me

I was not the driver but I had a front row seat. I reserved a hotel room down there last Thursday so we could get up early and walk a couple blocks to get a spot. We were directly across from the Sprint Center in a primo spot at the front of the rail. Saw the car speed down Grand 10 yards from us. The tires were already spike by that point and you could smell the burning rubber. About 10 cop cars sped after them and finally rammed them before they could plow into anyone. Miracle that no one was injured! Really crazy to see....later got to see the Super Bowl Trophy held up right in front of me. It was an awesome day.

Congrats to niners fans on a great season as well!

We did here some funny rumors about the guys driving the car. One said that the car had a Raiders bumper sticker. Another meme with a picture of the culprits “Bill Belichek and Tom Brady in full game day regalia”

The D&C dates are the only ones they are playing in 2020....

....and zero West Coast shows. Pardon my French, but that's kind of fucked up. Oh well. Guess I saved myself $200. Bring on Ween!!! Saw them a couple of years ago and had a grand time.

Burning Tires

It was me.. I'm blaming it on a glitch with my GPS.

With two good listens in

I'm thinking this show reminds me a lot of 4/2/73 from the Gahden. Its strength lies in consistently solid versions of song after song rather than one singular epic jam. Its been great to listen to here at work, jaunty and upbeat, whereas sometimes really spacey Dark Stars are lost on me when I can't zone out properly.

Also: PSA tonight on the Relix Youtube channel there is a free webcast of Voodoo Dead. New Orleans funk meets the Dead songbook. Where has this been all my life ?

Rogue

I agree with you. That was my first thought on the dap 33 sounding similar to 4/2/73. Even w/o an estimated.

Your GPS did it???

JimInMD, I'll need some instructions, cuz this goddam GPS I bought just will not produce meth and cocaine!

How do you dial that up? It's not like I haven't been trying....

DaP 33 Eyes

✋ hi folks! Did anyone notice something fishy during EOTW at the 5:31 mark? Perhaps it's a chunk of tape missing. I don't really mind, it's just a curiosity.

Erikandjenn

I heard that too. Good ears on eyes. Strange but subtle.

Voodoo Livestream - Just in time for Marti Gras

Relix free livestream of Voodoo Dead. I always liked Steve Kimock, great lineup. Also Jeff Chimenti is a keyboard god.

Rocking shakedown.. into a soulful and Bluesy Sugaree now. Check it out. Bill it to my account.

https://relix.com/live/livestream-20200206-voodoo-dead/

p.s. don't drink milk on schoolnights. oh, the horror.

but seriously these guys are playing really good. ...anyone out there that likes to party and has not been to Marti Gras? One word.. JazzFest. Oh.. some qualifying information, food = great, cops = bad. Music = heaven-sent.

Voodoo Dead

Hell yeah. Listen to Jim, he's a wise and thoughtful dude. Put your internet machine on that link and watch these guys.

After Sugaree they did a long Funky Meters jam and HOLY FUCKING SHIT OPHELIA WHERE HAVE YOU GONE ?

Erik and Jenn

Scroll back through the posts on the DaP 32 page.
Prior to the creation of the DaP 33 page someone (I don’t remember who) asked about how the splice that was on the cassette tapes would be handled for this release.

It appears that you have found the first hint.

Voodoo Dead gig....

....is also on YouTube. And yes. Been a fan of Kimock since the Zero days.

This Bertha Kicks Ass

DeKalb might just be my favorite Bertha. Never heard it sounding better either.

Speaking of eyes of the world....

....there it is.

Bertha

In the immortal words of Oroborous, a Bobbie Dazzler. I have a few favorites, one being Englishtown. This one is good.. a great show, and very glad it FINALLY came out.

Love the Eyes of the World that's blasting on my big screen right now. When it comes to GDead cover bands.. you really need two lead guitarists. Just my opinion. More dead = Good.

RE: Vanity Plates

MU-TRON

Voodoo Dead

After Midnight. Slow and funky. The way that God and JJ Cale intended it to be. So good.

Anatomy of a jam....

....amarguitar has a pretty cool YouTube channel.
https://youtu.be/nRN5nIm8cTs
....yeah. it's Phish based, but the dude knows his shit. He puts out pretty awesome docs. At least Phish is playing the West coast this summer. Sorry. Some salt over here.

Dead&Co West Coast

I would be surprised if they don't do a little redux tour towards the end of the year. I mean.. I think the last E Coast New Years show was in 1969 or something.

I would be disappointed if they didn't do a West Coast annex.
Plus, I want to go to the Gorge.

Skulltrip

Good to see you. Hope you are well!

Bertha, yes, this one rocks!

Check out the Dead YouTube video release of the week from July 1990. A glimpse into future releases?

Jeff Smith

Yo! Jeff Smith! I got the artwork downloaded for Dave's 33 from in your drop box, thanks! greatly appreciated! i already listened to this on a bootleg and it was a great sounding boot from charlie miller. i'm looking foward to listen to a proper remaster soon. i still need to listen to the Giants Stadium Box set. yeah I'm quite behind for sure
