¡Ándale, ándale! ¡Arriba, arriba! We're back with a hot one from Miami, F-L-A. DAVE’S PICKS VOLUME 34 features the complete show from the Jai Alai Fronton, 6/23/74, one with unparalleled sound quality due in equal parts to the Wall Of Sound and the beautiful sonic clarity of Kidd Candelario's tapes. The first set is chock full of dynamite takes on classics like "Ramble On Rose," "Mississippi Half-Step," and "Cumberland Blues." The second set delivers on the JAMS - one leading into a gorgeous "Ship Of Fools," one rare instrumental version of "Dark Star," and a "Spanish Jam," this is Miami after all! The show also offers up a "first" and an "only" - the former, a Seastones set featuring Phil and Ned Lagin and the latter, the sole Grateful Dead performance of Chuck Berry's "Let It Rock."

Limited to 22,000 numbered copies, DAVE’S PICKS VOL.34: JAI ALAI FRONTON, MIAMI, FL 6/23/74 has been mastered from the 7.5 IPS reel-to-reel tapes to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman. ¡Agarrarlo mientras esta calientito! (Get it while it's hot!)

7.10.90 ~ Shakedown Stream

Anyone have a link to replay ?

Also looking for anyone selling Giants Stadium Box set ? Missed it. I'm most interested in the 1989 shows

1978. I hope for 8.30.78 or 12.30.78

Anything from April 1978 and Uptown has 3 good shows in a row. Plus 2 in May.

I listened to 11.18.78 & 11.20.78 recently both are nice. I am curious to hear or know if any returned reels included December 1978 performances. I am mostly finding audience recordings for that month /era /tour

Dave’s 36

Since we just got a Pig show (2/21/71) with the Workingman release, I could see a 78 show for DaP 36. Been awhile since we had one. Maybe 4/16/78?

'84 Dave's 35

Fills a nice little hole in the live dead discography. Other than a single track on the SMR box set (12/31 Shakedown St) and of course 10/12 from Augusta on 30 trips, this is it: Here comes 4/20, thanks Dave!

So far this year we got '77, '74, now '84. Nice variety, too. What are we thinking for 36?

Thanks for The Good 'Ole GD meets The Honeymooners! I needed a laugh. Funny I would have have thought Jackie Gleason was a 77 fan though. Huh? Go Figure.

Can you imagine if you actually bumped into those two at a show? " I'm F'in freaking out man!"

*re mind “””” really weird up here as Jerry says 2/27/69

.. everything you wrote is your perspective, which is worng& false sorry to say, it’s not mine! It’s none of my business what people think about me I already know who I am and my actions. No but you never asked me any questions you’re just another one-sided person and then post assumptions with your gang of deadheads. There are three of you who make & think this way. It’s the same 3 to four clowns posting false statements. Because one Lne Person -“ KCJ ridiculous and absurd and twisted and manipulated you completely out of your mind , That’s my opinion ha ha and crack me up man take careLies I love this place. I Always speak & write the truth. I’m always a pm away to answer a question instead of making false allegations and assumptions in your mind ,
Mind. I’m not mad I’m only interested in peace! 🙏❤️💀🌹👍
*** I wrote, “#35 is going to be Alaska”, “Imagine” that!“ “Hell earth would freeze over” !!!that doesn’t sound like a answer to me. 🤔

You are often defending youtself on this, claiming "cyber bully". I think the issue many have in trusting you and being comfortable sharing with you is that you've been the source of several shady incidents on this site. For example you have claimed to be a Grateful Dead insider for quite some time now, and never once provided any legitimate information on a release before it came out. I recall the time you posted information on a Woodstock release 15 minutes after it was published on the lesser known Rhino site. When someone pointed that out, you called them a cyber bully. That's not bullying that's pointing out the information was widely available to all.

You once asked me to burn you a copy of FW1969 Complete. I spent a lot of time trying to convert files from FLAC for you since you don't have a computer and needed it in CD form. When this was taking too long you attempted to speed me along by offering information on last years box set. I admit, you caught my intetest and I did ask earnestly when you could let me know. While this conversation went on in PM, you kept saying 'soon my friend, any day now I will be able to tell you'. My trouble getting the discs to you was that I don't have a FLAC converter and most free versions had some kind of song length limitation or song total limitation, so it was a lengthy task that I spent many hours on which I started well in advance of your "inside info" offer. It was when you grew frustrated with me and PM'd with the subjuct "Where's my CDs??" and accused me of just trying to get information out of you. THAT is manipulative bullying.

We all know what Casey Janes reported happened after you offered up beautifully framed autogtaphed Stanley Mouse prints.

You reported you bought a Dave's Picks 2 a couple of weeks ago and provided a weak excuse why you couldn't tell a record store owner who posts here where you got it.

I recall you made derogatory comments about people with opioid addiction getting free methodone, and when someone questioned your lack of compassion, you claimed your words were misunderstood due to your poor writing skills and english being second language. But when I read your comments to JimInMD, I see perfect command of the english language, as usual.

And then there's this medication business where you say it costs 10K a month that you can't afford, so you sell CDs on the site here to cover the cost, but then talk about buying a $500 Europe 72 set to enjoy for yourself.

There was the time you claimed to receive your Dave's Picks several days before the rest of us (Philadelphia 1973). When you were asked in good conversational faith what the song LENGTH was for Jam and Dark Star, since many of us womdered how that continuous piece of music would be divided up, you avoided the question with one of your typical nonspecific answers like "Jam comes before Dark Star and you are going to be blown away by this primo release".

There is a lot about your behavior that does not add up. How does a legally blind man, which you claim to be even see a phone screen to post a messages?

Your post about Alaska being the next Dave's Picks did not seem like kidding around to me. You seemed to be calling it as the next one.

How many people have sent you real CDs out of pity for your supposed medical condition that you turned around and sold? It's disturbing to hear you claim to get free copies of dead.net CDs from your "inside sources" and then you sell them for personal profit.

You bring a lot of attention to yourself with your fantastic stories, and then play cyber victim when people scratch their heads and disagree. You have proven yourself to be a manipulator of people.

Bullying

Ok let’s clarify some things.....I’ve never seen Jim bully a single person on these boards. In fact, he is one of the kindest people here. I’m sure others will stand up for that as well. He’s just calling you out for the lyes that you tell. The reason folks may not like you is not because of “blah, blah, blah”. It’s because your posts are mostly incoherent and often times plagiarized. You lie about insider info you supposedly have. You have proven yourself to be a thief. You consistently try to gouge others on the board for Grateful Dead items that are priced way higher than the original retail cost (If this were EBay then the latter would be ok, but seeing that this is not Ebay, you are consistently in violation of site rules). I’m sure I’ve missed something, but I think you get the point. I mean seriously dude, I guess just keep doing your “famous jig” dance, and spreading emojis....everything should be just fine....

Geez Louise, were you not taught any manners?

Sonic Bliss

Finishing up a first listen to 6/23/74, haven't had a chance to listen to the bonus disc yet, but this is good stuff. Also beyond psyched to see the Workingman's Dead 50th anniversary release bonus is 2/21/71 from the multi-track recordings, should sound fantastic and I've wanted more from that run of shows since 3FTV came out. I don't know what they have planned for the second half of the year, but so far the releases this year have been spectacular on all levels.

Are we commenting and listening to this show tomorrow?

Garbled Weather Report on Dave's Picks 34

Did anyone notice some garbled verse or two in Weather Report for Dave's 34? Just curious if it was my CD or the recording itself. Thanks

It's today Carlo....

....you're on the wrong board. I'm getting confused now too. After Workingman's announcement, i now have four pages bookmarked. This one, '76 Box, Workingman's and Pick of the Day with discussion. Whew!! A Workingman's day is never done i tell you.

I've now listened to the entire bonus disc four times

Plus an extra 3 Playing in the Bands. I'm leaving the full show for tonight. Absolutely astounding how good this shit sounds. The transition into Wharf Rat is worth the price of admission.

Kind of an odd way to release the second Port Chester show, but I did just find out a minute ago and I am out walking in the rain. Headed straight home to order that fucker. Did they say how many are being released? My phone is full of water and I can't scroll or do shit. I better not miss out on this Portchester show. All right, I'm coming out! Any man I see out there, I'm gonna kill him! Any sonofabitch takes a shot at me.. I'm not only gonna kill him, I'm gonna kill his wife, all his friends, and burn his damn house down! Anybody don't want to get killed better head out the back!

They call me the working man

Because that’s what I am

Running down the road with scissors and hatchet in hand

Nice unforgiven reference! I love that movie, I'll watch it anytime I see it on. "I'll see you in hell William Munny"......"yup"

Just to point out

I got the 4:20 post below without even trying

Shadyguy

I got home and I ordered it. And I decided before I start dinner here, before I even logged back into this Dave's Picks 34 page that I would post a little YouTube clip I thought I recalled of Bugs Bunny saying something to the effect of "oops, I lost my composure for a second there". But I couldn't remember which episode it was from or anything and I just decided screw it, that's enough Shenanigans for 1 hour. And then of all the avatars for you to have..... it's not as though I've seen it before. Uncanny. But you can't beat classic Bugs.....

Icecreamconekid- do you get up at 7 and go to work at 9? Do you get home at 5 and take yourself out an ice cold beer? And finally, do you always seem to be wondering why there's nothing going down here? If so, I think you've more than likely reached the correct self-diagnosis.

Ahhh, classic bugs. I cant…

Ahhh, classic bugs. I cant recall which episode u speak of, and I thought I remembered them all. Most of all, I thank bugs for all the classical and opera music I was exposed to at a young age. LOVE the barber of Seville, also the spear and magic helmet episode! My avatar is actually a gif where they just keep taking turns ripping off the posters. Funny I always figured bugs to be the deadhead...

Bobby Sands

Don’t ever forget.

Diggy

Sent you a pm

Great for us

What Jim said makes perfect sense and also bodes well for the crowd in general. There's like nothing available from the second half of 70 anyway because Bear was off getting arrested. We are finally after more than 10 years getting another show coming out of that Port Chester run which people have been clamoring for every time there's talk about a box set of the year. If I'm Dave Lemieux, I think the real rip-off is selling a six show box set where everyone has one of the shows already anyway. He's probably thinking this is perfect. We'll get some great multi-track shows out with what's already a successful anniversary program of releases (and I'm assuming we'll get another one with American Beauty 50th), and then three more from Port Chester that can come out as a 3 show box at any old time. He's probably reading his comments I'm thinking these people to smoke too much weed.

Just a Tiger in a Trance

And the rain fallin' down now

I smoke just enough to even the keel....

....I occasionally tip, but yea, KISS does rule! And dead.net wants to sell me a sharp object. 2020 Kicks Axe!!
Re: 2.21.71. There's a 1 1/3 Ripple, an early Greatest Story, an Easy Wind (can't really say truthfully you can't get enough of those) and a King Bee. I'm AOK over here.
Oops. Wrong board. Dammit!.
Current listening as I type? Low Budget - The Kinks. Finishing up now.
. Still working through the catalog.

High Lie Bonus....

....OK, so I'm only four minutes in, and it is spot on and glorious. Phil took command so hard, he made Weir forget the words. Love it. Playin' In The Band indeed.
I pray that the heads that haven't received this yet get it soon. Godspeed.

The Playin' is all over the place....

....yet cohesive. Ebb and Flow. Ying and Yang. Cheech and Chong. Then they proceed to tidy it up and bring it back together in a nice little bow into the final turn. Jerry even throws out a little flair as a crescendo because he knows they blew the roof off. Outstanding musicianship and a very impressive Playin'.

On its way, allegedly...

My copy is now trackable through USPS using the UPS Alternate Tracking Number. It would seem to be on its way across the pond. Tracking information states:

Your item was processed through our LOS ANGELES CA INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTION CENTER facility on May 1, 2020 at 11:09 pm. The item is currently in transit to the destination.

On It's Way

Good Morning Simonrob,
same with my copy. In Transit: LA, May 1st, 6.11 am.
G.

Axes and Lawyers and shit...

Better call Saul!
Blew through all 5 seasons of BB and that El Camino movie. Definetly good shite, but I wouldn’t call it “the GOAT”. I will say that it was hard for me to like Walt. Besides being a colossal dumbass, he was kind of a prick too. Saúl on the other hand cracks me up. Just finished season 1 of Better Call.....good sheet, finally watched after hearing about it all these years!

Oh, and Dave’s 34 for all you unfortunate bastards suffering the consequences of New Release Envy......it is real, and it’s spectacular! And once again I think the bonus disc steals the show! 8 red sweethearts outta 10! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hope y’all receive yours soon!

This just in; Brian Howe of Bad Company has joined the ancestors. May the four winds blow him saftley home.

Tumbleweed....

....still-a-rollin' by over here. No sign of DaP34 emerging from the black hole that is my local postal hub. I've replied back to THEIR email to me sayin' "we'll be in touch within 24 hours...." cause, guess what? FAIL!

Time will tell if this has the mass to escape said Black Hole or if it will end up on the other side of oblivion with Maximilian embodied by Dr. Reinhardt...

Glad to hear this is a virtual knockout, otherwise!

Attn. Sixtus

Dude, I know from your posts you live close by, I am in Westborough. My post office just assured me that mine was out for delivery and I should be seeing it this afternoon. 😀 Thought this might help.

Sweet Alai

Took a break from the ‘home office’ that I’ve been working from as of late to take a drive and spin the first disc. After spending so much time within June 76's warm butter, the first set playing in ‘74 by comparison sounds really dry and arid. A whole lot of open space around those notes. But it’s what makes a solo like heard in this To Lay Me Down sound as poignant as it does. The music didn’t melt but my head sure did! Wow. Felt good.

DaP34 Black Hole

I'm in the same black hole here in CA... UPS Tracking shows DaP34 was handed off to USPS on 5/1. USPS tracking shows Pre-Shipment since 4/30. I've just opened a lost mail inquiry...

Can't wait to eventually hear this. It's great to read all the rave reviews, but also kind of like torture.

In the meantime, I just picked up a copy of DiP19... the whole second set is spectacular.

I love that with this band and this community I'm still finding things that can surprise and delight me.

Cheers all.

Dave's 34 and 2020 Bonus CD Cover Art

#9248 finally landed yesterday evening. The Bonus from 6/22 is already blowing me away. Still, I somehow managed to get Dave Kloc's excellent cover art scanned and corrected. Here's the link:

Perhaps my favorite Dicks. Yeah that second set is like Bubble’s water bong.....”it’s so smooth”

EDIT: thanks Jeff! Hope all y’all hanging in there with all you folks have going on....

Stuff and Things

Finally listened last night. Overall, very good. Folks comment on the excellent sound quality. Like a lot of 74, the vocals come across as flat and thin. The jam before Ship of Fools is the highlight for me.

Bickershaw. I forgot how good that was. A raging Other One. That and 4/14 have been the renewed surprises so far.

pony express

Pony Express brought 3480 to my cave in the hills. Hope other riders are out delivering right now those straggling copies. Super excited, but won't get a deep listen in until the weekend. Among all the goodness in this release, love to hear that the Playing from first night goes way way out. '74 is peak Playing in the Band for me, with Des Moines 6/16 the first tape to show me that glorious many-faceted world back long ago.
Good luck to those still waiting on their copy. Stay safe and healthy everyone.

Sixtus

Alright was at post office today to mail a few things and I asked about if they have been seeing delays from UPS. She said they saw a lot of what we are experiencing at Christmas time. She also gave me some info, tracking numbers that start with 1 are at UPS. when the post office gets it the generate a tracking number that starts with 9... Check it out and see if it is true. Anyone else have a 9 tracking number from the post office to prove her theory, i was a little out of it when she told me. Just curious Bob t

tracking the pony

i have my mail innovations package in front of me. It has an MMID# which can be tracked at UPS website and shows every step of the journey. There is no corresponding barcode which can be scanned. It does not appear to be a typical UPS tracking #, more digits and begins with an 8. The primary tracking # is a USPS number beginning with 9 and a corresponding barcode. USPS only tracks this package from time it has been handed over to them by UPS. In years past, I think we were usually given a tracking # from UPS, so we could see it go through Hodgkins, IL 3 times (yep I saw that happen) and stuff like that. This year its the USPS # and that means a days long black hole of waiting for an update until its handed over. good luck everybody.

Happy Birthday Billy

74 and there's so much more. You go man.

Hampton 87 - Booing?

This is an incredible run. Especially 3/24. That Let It Grow wildly intense.
What's with the booing in between songs on 3/24 (and maybe some on 3/23 too) ?
The crowd is very obvously into the show, so I don't know what the booing is about. Anyone know?

USPS Blues

Bought my 34 a la carte and got a shipping notice on May 1. Since then USPS tracking has said in bold red letters "USPS currently awaiting package" and has not updated since. No info on whether or not they have it in their possession or not. Giving it until Monday before I contact Dead/USPS

Carlo thanks

Sitting here in limbo!!!! Is the Chicken Bone still open in Framingham? Lived in Natick for a year or so use to love to get wings from there!!! That was back in 96 so it could be long gone!!! Bob t

Hampton 87

I was there.. I haven't a clue what the booing was about, but my memories of events that happened 33 years ago are scant. When were people booing? Most of that run is on YouTube.. perhaps that will help solve the riddle.

Maybe a door pop or asshole rowdy crowd actions? Watching one of the YouTubes now, the Hampton Spaceship could really bring out the energy in people.

Talk of 2 21 71 made me think of 2 20 71

So listened on archive last evening and today

Used to not like 2 20 71

Warmed up to it last time

Sounded very sweet last evening and today

God bless the Grateful Dead

JIMINMD

Thanks, I went back and watched the video for 3/24/87. It looks like they were booing because someone threw a glowstick or something on stage. It actually appears to happen twice, but no booing until the 2nd time.

https://youtu.be/D_D4hw4CQRU?t=438 - The booing starts around 7:18 if anyone wants to see.

One glowstick?....

....phish has entered the chat and farts in your general direction.

I paint landscapes..and I paint nudes..

I contain multitudes.

New Dylan album announced for June, first album of originals since Tempest on 9/11/12! So many years before.

Also a (third) new single, False Prophet, to compliment the Frankincense (Murder Most Foul) and Myrrh most foul (I Contain Multitudes) of the last month.

With the now expected terrible Dylan Clipart cover, the album Rough & Rowdy Ways named after a 1929 song by the Singing Brakeman, Jimmie Rodgers. Aka the guy that also wrote Blue Yodel #8...uh...Muleskinner Blues...

I opened my heart to the world, and the world came in.

Bobt-chicken bone saloon

Bob, the chicken bone saloon has been closed for almost 18 years. Its a Mexican restaurant now. I wonder why at least 4 people from Massachusetts on this site have the same date of may 1st. All 4 of us have a stalled package at same usps with no change. The booing was probably college students that came in around the late 80s just for the party and not the dead. I used to see whole groups of them at the east coast shows and they would mock some deadheads into fights and to
harrass beer vendors in the parking lots. This was getting to be a problem going into the 90s for sure.

Where is my copy of Dave's…

Where is my copy of Dave's Picks #34 with bonus disc? supposedly it was sent out on April 27th 2020 with a tracking number but the Post office has not received the item with that tracking number yet and it's May 8th 2020 already! What's going on?

Updates

I see my fellow local tribe members remain in limbo with delivery since the last ill-fated USPS communique of May 1st. To this end, I was able to speak with a kind gentlemen at the Shrewsbury Post yesterday afternoon. It was bit convoluted what I learned, and I will attempt to adequately summarize: in short, he said UPS still had the package. The hand off to the US Post Office hadn't occurred yet; in fact, he was able to see more than I could and noted that it was actually en route to my local Sudbury post office as of yesterday and he said it appeared it would land there today. Time will tell. Apparently, the hand off that is supposed to occur between UPS and USPS has been delayed (you DON't SAY!) and that the couple of different tracking numbers had created a bit of confusion given the pandemic, reduced staff, and carrier pigeons being on vacation. He said I could try calling my local post office later today to see if they have it - they should be able to track it with the number we have received.

So, there we have it - unfortunately nothing set it stone, but perhaps it is one step closer. I was honestly just glad it wasn't sitting in a bin somewhere discarded - which I mentioned in a quip-like fashion, to which he double-reassured me this was not the case and that it was indeed accounted-for, and moving through the system.

Fingers crossed - I'll keep folks posted if the proverbial Miracle happens to land.

booing and mocking

I remember some mocking from those fratboys going on in the late eighties, not towards me, but I saw a few confrontations, mostly talk and disrespect, seems like they just wanted to be loaded and ruin everyone's fun. The only thing I ever threw on stage was joints and I never got booed for that.
