"To my ears, the best Dead shows are those that not only fit the criteria that make them amongst the best of a year, but that are also completely unique for their era—shows that fit perfectly into their year of performance, but also fall somewhat outside of the norm for that year. Harpur College, Veneta, Cornell, Cape Cod, and Augusta are all shows that are objectively excellent, and if they are not the best from their respective years of performance, they are certainly unique. Miami 6/23/74 falls into that category: not only one of the very best shows from this outstanding year, but also one of the most interesting and unique. It’s certainly worthy of many, many deep listens." - David Lemieux

¡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!)

Credit where credits due

Frank on the Bickershaw review below.....much as I'd like to take credit, its Simon, not me, what wrote it.

I also attended a mud bath, though-Reading 1977. After three days or so of trekking through the mud, the soles of my shoes literally fell off. Hawkwind-also veterans of Bickershaw 1972- played mid afternoon one day, but it was a bit of a mess all round. I can remember Wayne/Jayne County and the Electric Chairs tried to play and got bottled off. The same thing happened with a reggae band-possibly Steel Pulse. The atmosphere was dominated by loud ,drunk, white, men in their late teens and early 20s-and anything they didn't like they smashed or bottled. Heavy metal and punk were the defining sounds.
Round about that time it became very unhip to be tolerant of anything. And that mood, as far as I could tell, permeated the 1980s, too. That's in England, I should say- I am not assuming it was like that in America.

Bickershaw

Great write up Daverock! The closest I ever came to such a scene was a Genesis ‘reunion’ at Milton Keynes Bowl which was a fundraiser for Peter Gabriel’s Womad which, in it’s first year lost a packet. It rained like there was no tomorrow and mud pies were thrown at anyone with a brolly. Got home soaked and caked in mud but very happy even though I had to listen to Talk Talk before Genesis came on.

Bickershaw liner notes for Mustin and others...

For Mustin123, who asked about how it was to be at Bickershaw and seemingly doesn't have the show on CD, here below are the liner notes that I wrote for that. Indeed Wilfred was correct in identifying me as the responsible party.

There has been some discussion on here recently about bad shows, fun shows etc. Bickershaw was neither of these. Due to the meteorological combination of a monsoon and an ice age, being there certainly was not fun. I doubt that any of the attendees would say it was a fun experience, but there was some great music played so it certainly wasn't a bad experience either. That the weather had improved by the time the Dead got to play was a big bonus but their performance ensured that the climatic conditions could easily be forgotten. Incidentally, tickets for all three days cost a mere 2.25 pounds

Anyway, here are the liner notes (note: I was asked to provide more a general overview of the festival than to focus specifically on the Dead's performance) :

Bickershaw was a place that I had never heard of, but it was hosting a festival and the Grateful Dead were going to be there for the only festival appearance of their European tour. This was too good to miss. While the good-time peace-and-love festival ethos had come to an abrupt end in America at Altamont in late 1969 (indeed the Dead had been scheduled to play there but had declined shortly before their performance due to the situation), festivals in England were still pretty cool and relaxed.
Bickershaw turned out to be a small coal-mining village that time had largely forgotten. The festival site was on the wrong side of the tracks, literally. Having crossed the colliery railway sidings it was immediately apparent that the site was a desolate swamp complete with reed beds and a lake. There was also a lake at Woodstock and we had all seen the beautiful people skinny-dipping in the sunshine. Here it was different. Here there was a sign by the lake with the terse warning “Crap in water, do not drink”. To make matters worse, the weather was bad. It was unseasonably cold with frequent rain that continued for most of the three days of the event and there was a bitter wind. At least nobody was likely to consider swimming in the toxic pond. As I recall, most of the site was covered in a layer of mud and in places it was seriously deep. There was no way the mud at Woodstock could compare with this stuff. This was going to be all about survival and it was obvious from the outset that only the music could provide salvation. We just had to hope.
During the first two days there was enough good music and other distractions to keep the hypothermia at bay. The other distractions included such oddities as fire-eaters, acrobats, high-wire cyclists, an aerial display and high divers. Friday’s highlights included a fine performance from Dr. John who liberally sprinkled the audience with mystical gris-gris powder. The final act on Saturday was Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band who played an awesome and astonishing set the likes of which I had never seen before – or since. Large video screens on either side of the stage added to the experience. Finally Sunday – the day of the Dead – dawned, cold and grey. Still trying to come to terms with what the Captain had done to my brain, I evicted a frog from my wet sleeping bag and settled down to listen to the day’s musical offerings. In front of the stage things had taken a distinct turn for the worse when the tank used by the divers was simply emptied onto the already muddy ground creating a quagmire of unprecedented proportions. In the afternoon the New Riders of the Purple Sage played a fine set, but it was more suited to sunny California than the tempest that we were enduring in northern England. Despite the conditions, the crowd remained, defying the weather. It was obvious why most people stuck it out to the end – they wanted to see the Grateful Dead and a bit of inclement weather was not going to get in the way of that.
At last it was time for the grand finale – and the Dead did not disappoint. The first set was powerful enough to drive away the rain clouds and for the first time in three days the sun appeared. Things were definitely looking good. Around this time the fences around the site disappeared, presumably blown down by the arctic winds or stolen for scrap metal. This allowed the villagers come and see what was happening and whole families showed up to gaze at the spectacle. It must have looked like Armageddon to them. By now the Dead were back on stage for their second set, playing to this surreal mixture of mud-caked long-haired freaks and coal miners in their best Sunday clothes with their wives and kids in tow. As the set progressed, the music ascended to ever higher planes. Cultural differences melted away as hippies and miners grooved together. Things got even better as Dark Star > The Other One was complimented by an impressive firework display. The band were obviously up for it as they played on and on despite the cold. Sadly, all good things must come to an end and after a seemingly endless performance it was all over and we were left standing in a dark, cold swamp trying to take in what we had just experienced. It was true – there really was nothing like a Grateful Dead performance. Due to the magic of the music and the resilience of the estimated 30,000 attendees, the vast majority appeared to have had a great time despite the conditions which, by the end, had paled into insignificance.

Mixing - Mike McGinn, He also did JFK '89 and maybe one other. These don't sound as good as they should have. The Don Pearson Ultramatrix cassettes sound way better.

Jasmine

I was just burning some jasmine incense and remembered coming home in the mid eighties from a stretch of dead shows on the east coast and reeking of jasmine and patchouli sweat. I remember those religious fliers that were passed around with the cool illustrations even though I was always an atheist. also passing around Greenpeace fliers and stickers that
we would get from donations to GP. I'm sure some of you guys remember those fliers. Everytime I smell jasmine and frankincense it reminds me of those days.

The song Cassidy, is also written partly about Neal Cassidy, besides Cassidy Law. Also, some of the lyrics refer to the death of John Barlow's father. But your right the song is named after Cassidy Law.

In no particular order, 7/13/76 Orpheum Theatre S.F. 9/11/81 Greek Theatre , 10/9/82 Frost Ampitheatre. The music, venue, and my state of mind were all factors in making these picks.

Re:Stoltzfus

Well, Mr Hopeful, as it turned out you were almost right. I didn't get DP34 by Saturday June 13th BUT all of a sudden it was visible at the Postnord taxes page. So I paid the extra 147 SEK and yesterday on June 18th I finally got it in my hand. :-)

I felt so relieved and thought to myself, finally I haven't got any Dead stuff waiting in the mail ... and then I pre-ordered Garcia Live Volumer 14 because of the bonus disc. "Stupid me". ^^

Lining Up

Hope all is well with people here, and happy to see this release is finally getting into waiting hands. Still holding out to see what will be #35, aware of some rumors flying....

In other happenings, it appears suitors for new employment are beginning to line up on this end as I'm told to expect two offers sometime next week. HUGE EXHALE. Gonna sit back and let them squabble I suppose, and see which one comes out ahead. It's always a pleasant feeling to have an oldschool square off over Sixtus...

Just wanted to share some positive news in these continually odd and trying times. And also to once again thank all of you out there for your show of support or mere thought energy - it bounds across the universe to assist those in need who may be open to receipt.

Happy Friday Dead Freaks
Sixtus

still no Miami

Hi I didn't receive DaveP34 and I am a bit anxious. Did anyone in Europe still miss it?
The June Boxset is on the shelf for one month now, and today is my favourite show birthday Passaic.

Sixtus

Glad to see new opportunities coming alive for you. Sounds like good things coming your way! And Happy (belated) Anniversary to you and your better half...we just celebrated our 15th yesterday! Indeed time flies!!!

Ian Holm

Bilbo Baggins has passed. When I first read the Lord of the Rings trilogy, I started with the Hobbit, and in my opinion, it is the best of the Lord of the Rings books. Always thought Bilbo was way cooler than Frodo and not a pussy like Frodo was, Bilbo was a badass.
Gonna Miss Ian Holm, he knew how to act. He was in so many good flicks Alien, Chariots of Fire, He was Napoleon in Time Bandits, Fifth Element and From Hell as the ripper himself. Qute a resume. RIP Bilbo, Via Con Dios

SIXTUS

Happy for you and that's great to hear. Thanks for sharing some positive news.

In regards to work, it definitely feels good to be fought over.

Now, you mentioned DaP V35, how about sharing those rumors ;)

Happy Friday You All!

Re: Dead Reads

Just wanted log on real quick and thank everyone for their book suggestions. "The Music Never Stopped" looks very interesting, and I'm going to keep my eye out for it at the small book shops as it seems out-of-print.

Side note, yesterday I noticed one of our local book shops had it's "OPEN" sign hanging in the window. This was a welcome surprise as I always loved browsing this particular store, and the place has been shuttered since March, I never thought it would reopen...another forgotten casualty of the retched virus. Anyway, I stopped and stuck my head in for a minute in hopes I could find something and maybe give them some much needed support. I was not disappointed. I walked out with paperback copies of "Pearl' the Janis Joplin bio and "Garcia: An American Life".

Folks, I know it's tough out there right now, but if you can manage to support your friends, neighbors, community, local businesses in anyway you can, I think we'll all start to see a little bit of light.

Do good things people, and stay cool.

Love this site......

Name the show that's from, and the person who said it, and you win!

GD84 is chock full of good shows

Dave...Dave...

I know you can find one or two to add to your picks/pix/pics

Jefferson Airplane

“No man is an island
He’s a peninsula “ After Bathing at Baxter’s
One of their great lesser known albums.
Wilde poem there six. Thyme waits for no one.

Neil’s Never Known to Fail Papers for Rough and Rowdy Times

New Dylan album drops today along with Neil Young’s Homegrown as well.

Life is very good. Often wish Jerry was still around too. Always wonder what his later works might have been like.

Peace to all and good listening!

Vote for Dave's Picks

It would be cool if all the people who participate in this forum, could vote for one Dave's pick a year. We could have discussions on various shows from different years for a few weeks and then take a final vote and submit it to Dave for a pick the following year. People could all put their reasons out there as to why people should vote for their pick. I think it would be a lot of fun.

Vera Lynne

Her funerals next week , though at the moment we don’t know where and we don’t know when .

1968

From the vault volume two has always been one of my favorite releases, great sound and the whole thing rips! I spent last night with the road trips from 68, 2-14-68, completely mind blowing stuff. I can’t imagine seeing them live back then. I saw them from 83 to the end and it was a lot of fun, but nothing like what I was listening to last night.
Also, this latest release is fantastic!!!!
Dream scenario for the rest of the year: last two Dave’s picks are from 68 or 73. A 70s show with the AB release and a fall 72 box set or Ark 69 box or both, a man can dream can’t he. The dream scenario also includes a vaccine for COVID and some new leadership in this country....Happy Friday night!

Just got an email from

MOBILE FIDELITY SOUND LABS SACD OF Workingman's Dead "Original Master Recording" for those of you that are interested. I did not happen to catch if there was "limited" copies but you might want to get on it in case.

And YES Billy The Kid I second that idea

Enjoy the weekend Cheers

Brand Spankin' New Dylan & Young....

....i need more ears. And time.

Mickes got his...

But I aint got mine, today it is a month since it supposedly transferred out of Brussels aiport, on a plane but assuredly not the Airplane.

Congratulations to deadmike in sweden

Me just waiting too like gratefulgerd und the guy in Fehmarn and a few others (I presume).
Or has anybody got his copy here in Germany already?
But hope will never die, say it to me every day.

Re: Billy The Kid

Well, could of course be something to look forward to for the lucky people who'd vote for the winning Picks. :-)

For me it's all about 1967-73 I guess, maybe 1974. I'm not opposed to later years but there's been to many shows from 1976 to 1978 and from 1979 my interest begin to vane. Up to 1985 is okey and I like Spring 1990 but otherwise I think the band got less interesting from 1986/87. But that's my feelings, of course. :-)

I would definitely vote for a Fall 1966 to Fall 1968 bits and pieces volume.

Dead Mike ,/ Dave's Picks voting

I'm glad you like the idea of voting for the Dave's picks, I believe that there would be a lot of interest and the people on this forum would really get into it. I would most likely be voting for shows from 1966 to 1973. Here is something you might be interested in, check out this web site called anthem prints.com, it's a cool story about about the Anthem of the Sun cover art and prints that were made up. I'm glad you finally received your music. I am part Norweigan, on my mother's side so I have relatives over in your neck of the woods. Anyways, have fun and enjoy your music.

Dave’s Picks Volume 34: Jai Alai Fronton, Miami, FL 6/23/74

Nr 7384 has just landed in Bochum, Germany. For the first time I had to pay customs duty. Very curious! Going to listen to the music, it took a very long time to arrive! Still waiting for the June 76 box. Hopefully it will arrive in the next days (or weeks?)

Deadbo, good to hear!

Question please:
Did you pay customs duty directly to the postman or had you go to the post office to pay and pick it up there?
Thanks and enjoy,

Dead Rareties Compilation

Thanks DEADMIKE, for mentioning a bits & pieces compilation. I have long wished for a live rareties comp, maybe songs the dead played 10 times or less. It may not be right for a Dave’s, but perfect for a limited public release. That may be my most wished for item.

Frost '82 and/or Greek '81 would make perfect mini box sets. Consistently great playing, and superb weather throughout; loved the Greek staggered start times: 7pm Friday, 5pm Saturday and 3pm Sunday; they had the Workingman in mind, no doubt(or Bill Graham did.)

DP34 in Germany

Got #11949 + bonus today. Had to pay 11,20 EUR for taxes and service. The price for this item is under 25 EUR so due to german law NO taxes had to be paid. But someone declares the value of the package with 30 USD which is about 26.55 EUR. Hope I get a refund from dead.net.
Will sort out the music later think I have parts of this show on one of the first Grateful Dead Hour.
Stay safe

Cousins/ Frost

I thought that Frost 82 and 85 were the best two years at the Frost. Greek, my favorite show was 9/11/81, you kinda had to be there, during Morning Dew you could hear a pin drop, very powerful moment. A Greek box would have to include 7/13/84 and 7/14/85. I listed my favorite three Dead shows that I attended the other day and 9/11/81 and 10/9/82 made up the list , along with 7/13/76. I read on the Dead Archive once , a guy on there thought that 9/11/81 had the best 2nd set of the 80s . The 2nd Greek show was also a killer, 9/12/81. I didn't think all the shows at the Frost and Greek were knockouts, but the ones that were great shows would make a hell of a great box set.

Internet Archive Lawsuit

Apparently the Internet Archive is being sued by several large book publishing companies. This link gives a good synopsis of the grievance and what brought it about...

Hopefully this can be settled and our beloved Dead/Music archive will be unscathed while allowing the valuable work the Archive does to continue...

Just like JJFehmarn I had to pay € 11,20 directly to the postman! It's a lot of money if you consider that one DaP costs about € 25. I will look for it! Listen and enjoy!

I paint landscapes..and I paint nudes..

For those of you so inclined, how are you liking the new Dylan album?

Really put it through the paces here yesterday, some today but cleansing my palette now. Don't want to overdo it. I think it is very good..it takes elements of all his later day stuff and influences and ties them together. Flashes of the Sinatra era, electric blues, dense lyrics and an abundance of name dropping. I feel it is less 'paint by numbers' than some of the other Mod Bob original albums.

As far as palette cleansers go, listening to the Jam from near the end of 1968-10-12 Avalon Ballroom, my God.

Had to pop on the full package for the new Jerry release, love the acoustic sets and the poster / shirt / et al looked great.

Agree on too much good stuff to listen to. I also picked up vinyl copies of Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs and Muddy 'Mississippi' Live, the live album of Muddy produced and played on by Johnny Winter from '79 (recorded in '77 and '78). If I had to pick, I'm more of an acoustic blues type..the 20s and 30s, etc, but I do love the electric heyday of the late 40s to early 60s..Chess, Sun, etc.
That said, the live Mannish Boy from '77 to open the album is THE electric blues song..period, as far as I'm concerned.

Best I can tell that was recorded 3/18/77 in Illinois, the same night some other decent musicians were debuting the Scarlet > Fire hook-up across the country...

Muleskiner/ electric blues song period

Take Hoochie Coochie Man from January of 1954 if you want to hear the electric blues song period. Muddy Waters backed by the great Little Walter , Otis Spann, Willie Dixon, Jimmy Rogers and Fred Below. That is the electric blues song period.

Good choice! Hoochie Coochie Man was never my favorite, but it's definitely legendary and agree that it's impossible to touch those Chess lineups. It's mind blowing that those players were in the same spot at the same time, playing on each other's records. Love Little Walter..I read Mannish Boy in 1955 was his only recording between January 1953 and June 1957 without Walter since he was off on his own.

As much praise as I heaped on that live Mannish Boy, that archetype of it, Hoochie Coochie Man, etc, is not my favorite template, the generic blues riff. That live version just got me good..the energy.

If I had to pick, I prefer Wolf's studio stuff to Muddy's, but none of the Chess stuff from the era is even close to anything but great.

That's awesome LMG

DaP 2 is a steal. What is the name of the record store?

Its official....

....i gave up on my top ten Grateful Dead songs. Right now its Easy Wind. Wouldn't have made the list three days ago. But it does now.
Rust In Peace is a classic Stoltzfus. No argument here.
Indulging in the green, then going to the grocery store has been known to rack up the receipt. I could teach a class in that.

In The Basement...

Oh, tell me where can you party, child, all night long?
In the basement, down in the basement, yeah
Oh where can you go when your money gets low?
In the basement, whoa down in the basement
And if a storm is taking place, you can jam and still be safe
In the basement, down in the basement, yeah yeah yeah
Oh, where can you dance to any music you choose?
In the basement, whoa down in the basement
Oh, you got the comforts of home, a nightclub too
In the basement, whoa down in the basement
There's no cover charge or fee and the food and drinks are free
In the basement, come on child, yeah down in the basement
In the basement, that's where it's at...

Can't believe it took me till now to discover Sugar Pie Desanto, been on a steady soul kick lately and she is hitting the spot tonight. Do I Make Myself Clear got things rolling and made me say, damn, who is that? Gave part of a listen to GarciaLive 13 today also, but the soul has been the sound I crave lately.

I didn't realize, how much I needed a new Dylan record....

....then Mr. Zimmerman reminded me. I really did.
