    ¡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!)

    Europe '72 Dark Stars...

    5/11/1972 Rotterdam is one of my all time favourites.
    5/7/1972 Bickershaw was the one I was fortunate enough to to witness.

    Ok, All This Talk

    ...about Europe '72 Dark Stars. It's time to share this one again. I amassed detailed listens to all of them a few years back as I awaited Boxzilla:

    4/8/1972 - Wembly Empire Pool, London - 32 mins; intense/fast paced first leg up til about 10 mins then returns to DS theme for 1st verse; spacey post-verse til ~17 min, then pace picks up for a few minutes, followed by a brief meltdown; additional spaciness around 24 mins followed by another full meltdown; interesting groove established around 28 min that has hints of Sugar Mag (into which it segues, flawlessly). No second verse.

    4/14/1972 - Tivoli Concert Hall, Copenhagen, DK - 29 mins; loose first 10 mins not overly spacey; gets spacey around 11 mins; interesting groove establishes around 16 min to head into first verse w/interesting beat; heads off into intense nearly 7-minute jam inclusive of a very tight and fast Feelin Groovy jam; final 3 minutes are a meltdown. No second verse.

    4/17/1972 - Tivoli Concert Hall, Copenhagen, DK - 31 mins; spacey opening to about 7:30 when first DS theme emerges leading to 1st verse at 9:45. Spacey post-2nd verse tries to take off but melts further around 19 min; returns to a partial groove around 24:30 and closes out with spaceyness in the last 2 mins. No second verse.

    4/24/1972 - Rheinhalle, Dusseldorf, Germany - Split by Me & My Uncle; 26 mins 1st half, 14:30 second half. Spacey opening until about 8:45 where it coalesces and falls into first DS theme around 10:15 followed shortly by 1st verse with slow, sparse notes. Spacey feedback following verse until 15:45 and then picks up into an intense, fast paced jam for just under 2 minutes before it becomes dissonant again leading to major meltdown which eventually heads into Me & My Uncle with ease. Second half: spacey reintroduction persists until about 7 mins, where Keith leads-in with some piano phrasing and then the band follows into a tight fast paced jam where Jerry plays some lines back and forth as if in conversation with himself and then maintains an intense level effortlessly segueing into Wharf Rat. No second verse.

    4/29/1972 - Musikhalle, Hamburg, Denmark - 30 mins; spacey opening for ~5 mins, then enters a groove and Phil hints at the Feeling Groovy jam until it finally is joined by Jerry a minute later until about 8:00, then the floor drops out into space. DS theme appears at 14 min which leads to first verse. Spacey post-verse noodling leads to major meltdown, settling in at 22 mins with a fat, fast-paced Keith-led groove. Final 4 mins are spacey & lead to major melt #2, dropping into Sugar Mag as DS finally melts away. No second verse.

    5/4/1972 - Olympia Theatre, Paris - Split by drums; 19 mins 1st half; 17:34 2nd half. Spacey opening til about 6 mins when fast paced jam kicks in until 11:20, slowing down then resurrecting the DS theme into the first verse. 4 mins of space leads into drums. Second half post-drums is very spacey until 7 mins, then kicks into overdrive with a very high energy jam leading to a phenominal Feelin Groovy Jam for several minutes before settling into the second verse. DS dissipates into the Sugar Mag from E'72.

    5/7/1972 - Bickershaw Festival, Wigan, UK - 19:49 mins; decent, coherent jamming for the first several minutes that congeals nicely around 8 minutes. Bottom falls out around 10 mins and leads to some light noodling, cymbal fills and space. DS theme emerges at 14:23 and heads into 1st verse. Space fills the air through the remainder of the song until it totally breaks down into drums. No second verse.

    5/11/1972 - Rotterdam Civic Hall, Netherlands - Split by drums; 13:45 mins 1st half; 30:34 mins 2nd half; Opens with a light, airy jam that persists to congeal into a decent groove as it treads in and out of spacey phrasing. This settles into a mysterious sounding jam that grows with intensity without a return to the DS theme before dissolving into drums. Emerging from drums, Phil and Billy duel for 2 minutes before Jerry joins back in with some complimentary thoughts; the DS theme appears around 5 min followed by 1st verse. A few moments of spacey feedback give way to spacey noodling that devolves into a full blow chaotic meltdown, only to emerge around 19:30 into a very nice, fast paced groove that hints at Caution and PITB jams. This eventually dissolves and a light, sparse outro ends the song as it heads off into Sugar Mag. No second verse.

    5/18/1972 - Kongressaal, Muenchen, Denmark - 28:20 mins; almost 2 mins of noodling before opening notes from Phil; a loose jam ensues around the DS theme for the next several minutes and then decays. At ~9 min an interesting jam emerges, which eventually settles back into the DS theme and 1st verse around 14:30. The remainder of this DS is borderline chaos as it treads in and out of varying degrees of a meltdown until it settles into Morning Dew. No second verse.

    5/23/1972 - The Strand Lyceum, London - 30 mins; Spacey opening minutes lead to tight fast paced jam commencing around 3:30 for two minutes and then it settles into another spacey jam digressing to almost…nothing. Billy and Phil then have a small duel until ~13:30 when the rest of the band fills back into a delicate groove which grows to into a jam reminiscent of the post-Truckin' foray from E'72 until about 17 mins, when they drop into the DS theme and 1st verse. Ensuing is additional delicate spaciness that transgresses into a frenzied meltdown madness, and eventually settles into Morning Dew. No second verse.

    5/25/1972 - The Strand Lyceum, London - 34 mins, out of Wharf Rat. Strong opening with a groove almost from the beginning, no noodling around here in the first 7 minutes. Then turns very spacey until 15 mins when DS theme appears, and heads off into 1st verse. Post-verse finds a Billy, Phil, and Keith duel for several minutes. At 21 mins, Phil institutes a mellow Feeling Groovy jam, soon joined by the rest of the band until ~25 mins. Final minutes are dominated by space and then a monumental meltdown before heading off into Sugar Mag. No second verse.

    Final Verdict(s): It is a very close tie between 4/14 and the second half from 5/4. I put these on the pedestal due to the crazy, intense jams surrounding the Feelin Groovy sequences. They are just interstellar. Part of me also wanted to simply catalog which Dark Stars included a Feelin Groovy jam from the '72 trunk, so I feel my work is done and I can rest easy. I'd be delighted to hear if any others had similar, or more excitingly, differing thoughts.

    4/14 Dark Star

    In my journey through the entire E72 tour, that has been the one song that has moved up considerably on my "favorites" list. I somehow forgot how good it was. I've taken to listening again on the off nights.

    One thing I find cool about this tour is the actual theaters in which the band played. I've spent a good deal of time this go-around reading more about the venues and looking at photos. Truly amazing places. That must have made the experience all the more special for those in attendance. They sure are nicer than the Rubber Bowl in Akron.

    The other thing I find interesting is the location of the shows. Aside from Denmark and Munich, all the shows are heavily concentrated in the Northeast corner of Europe. It seems as though they could have spread out a bit more.
    Hell, if you are going to play Munich and have five days off before your next show, you might as well play Salzburg.

    For me, the chaotic interludes in Dark Stars just serve to make the return of the melody that much sweeter a release after the tension of the chaos. Sort of like that transition from slipping around in your own skin peaking to that sweet feeling afterglow for the last few hours, when it feels like your skin fits again and you recognize that person in the mirror.

I wasn't seeing the Dead to much in the 90s, maybe two or three times a year, but this show they really nailed it. My brother and I were down in the 3rd row and when they did Promised Land out of Dark Star, I turned around and looked back up the hill at Shoreline Ampithetre and that whole place was absolutely rocking and ready to blow, it was very cool. This show could be a Dave's pick easily.

LMG what record store did you buy DaP 2 at? I own a record store and I'm always looking for rare CDs at good prices, especially in bulk. Did it include the bonus disc? Also let me know if you are selling your E72 set.

Top 10 sounds interesting. If I exclude the big ones that are typically joined together in a medley like Dark Star > Saint Stephen > The Eleven, mine are

Uncle John's Band
Sugar Magnolia
Jack Straw
Foolish Heart
Touch of Grey
Loose Lucy (played 1973 style, slow groove)
Brown-Eyed Women
Black-Throated Wind (favorite Bobby song)
Midnight Hour

Now that I've written it it doesn't even make sense. I have 10 more there could easily take their place. You just can't do it.
I'm an old-timer, but I included some of their later songs that are truly great. A lot of Deadheads felt a huge fan payoff when the last two albums were released.
There was some serious fan enthusiasm for these records after Jerry's coma, and they did not disappoint. They were stacked with great songs. I remember before In The Dark came out there was a common attitude in the press that it was going to be a flop like they considered Go To Heaven, and that the songs might get a play or two at the beginning of the tour.

... hello brother, unfortunately the Dave’s Picks #2, I just got didn’t come with the Bonus Disc. But Ian grateful for the find! It’s also great that you own a record shop and for at least 25 years now! That is Very impressive in my book.Right On my man! Record shops are like a Butcher Shops, very rare! Lol Where are you located and name? I used to own a record shop myself. Sadly I had to close shop down many years ago during the Bush Addminastration and one of the biggest financial crisis the Country experienced at that time. I remember it like it was yesterday. I had a many grateful moments during those years! I also sold off my Apple stocks and purchased my family’s beach home on Long Beach Island, NJ a very small island off the coast of New Jersey, beautiful in every way! I don’t think I am allowed to post the name of the record shop, I don’t want to get them in any trouble , I’m not sure if they’re really allowed to be open yet due to the devastating virus crisis our precious little world is experiencing right now. It’s really causing & costing a lot of people their jobs, homes and any or if not all any assets one might have and most importantly their lives! So sad.

In early May I was too busy with my inaugural E72 run-through to listen to this DaP when it came out. So today, complete with Jai-Alai Pale Ale in hand, I will break out the bonus disc on its anniversary. Then tomorrow it's on to the full show, which I've never heard; from what you all have reported, it sounds like I'm going to have a real good time!

Listening to this show now. I love how forward in the mix bobby is. This show sounds great and I wonder if they could do a matrix with healy's tapes and this aud for a nice Dave's pick. The Fox show from '80 sounds amazing. I wonder why they haven't tried that again. This show would be a great candidate since sound quality issues hold back so many of the '80s shows.

I came home from a Dead concert up in Oakland back in the early eighties and I had dosed. I got into bed and put on some headphones and put on Anthem of The Sun and I could hear the color purple, right after Cryptical, it was very cool. Anthem of the Sun , Workingman's Dead, and The best of Muddy Waters, my three favorite recordings of all time.

...well you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be
All right, all right, all right
You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We're all doing what we can
But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you'll have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be
All right, all right, all right
You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know it's gonna be
All right, all right, all right...

“Until the philosophy
Which hold one race superior and another
Inferior
Is finally
And permanently
Discredited
And abandoned
Everywhere is war
Me say war
That until there no longer
First class and second class citizens of any nation
Until the color of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the color of his eyes
Me say war
That until the basic human rights
Are equally guaranteed to all
Without regard to race
Dis a war”

And so on

...may never change the way it's been
and all the ways of war can't change it back again
I've been out searching for the dolphins in the sea
And sometimes I wonder, do you ever think of me
I'm not the one to tell this world how to get along
I only know that peace will come when all hate is gone
I've been searching for the dolphins in the sea
And sometimes I wonder, do you ever think of me
You know sometimes I think about Saturday's child
and all about the time when we were running wild
I've been searching for the dolphins in the sea
and sometimes I wonder, do you ever think of me
This old world may never change...

Don't listen to me, let Fred tell you, you won't regret hearing it https://youtu.be/KoI2-JK4ZvI
Colin, the problem that I see is that once the war starts it's hard to say where it will end, but the smart money is on pain, misery, inhumanity and despair accompanied by the loss of innocent life. Buy the ticket take the ride.

Haile Selaisse wasn't threatening war in his speech, he was arguing that perpetual war was the inevitable result of the continued existence of racism. Sure having a plan for what's next is great, but history comes at unexpected moments, and from unexpected people. Some are destined for such times, Haile Selaisse was one of them. He stood up to Mussolini's invasion, and sought help that didn't come from the League of Nations. Almost 25 years later, he showed up to give a speech at the UN that was a warning that the racist oppression that had held Africa captive for 400 years was coming to an end, and that the racism must be reckoned with; if it is not faced and obliterated, everywhere will be war. America's Original Sin, as termed by Thomas Jefferson, was slavery, and slavery must exist upon the most insidious racism in which one believes another human to be less than to the point they cannot walk free, and are mere dumb brutes to perform hard labors forever and without recompense. In the Twentieth Century, tens of millions died in World War II, which was a race war, with the Japanese believing themselves superior to the Koreans and Chinese and other Asian peoples, much less the whites of the West; and of course Hitler's need for "lebensraum" (living space) for Aryans meant the destruction of "subhumans". Germany, Japan, and South Africa are some of the least likely countries to repeat their great racist mistakes, because they have at least tried to come to terms with that history, where America has steadfastly refused to face its Original Sin except for those five bloody years, and even now many try to argue that war wasn't rooted in slavery, which only goes to underline the point of America's unwillingness to grapple with its problems. At least we have the opportunity to help change our society at the ballot box. But we have that thanks to a revolution that was not well thought out.

Well, we've had at least one Brent/Pig show for every year of the Dave's series except the first one (all Keith and/or Donna only). Some years have had two. So far this year we have a '77 and a '74. No Brent or Pig yet. So my bet would be one or the other here, especially if it is going to be Brent. Dave has never gone beyond 1983 in any release for this series. So far, it has roughly been, 1 Pig show every year (7/8), and one Brent ever other year (4/8). This is year 9.

Brent Dave's = 4. DaP#8 11/30/80; DaP#20 12/9/81; DaP#27 9/2/83; DaP#31 12/3/79.

Pig Dave's = 7. DaP#6 12/20/69 (with TC), 2/2/70; DaP#10 12/12/69; DaP#14 3/26/72 (with K&D), DaP#19 1/23/70 (with TC); DaP#22 12/7/71 (with Keith); DaP#26 11/17/71 (with Keith); DaP#30 1/2/70 (with TC).

I think we get a Pig and a Brent this year (or maybe even a Bruce/Vince), and this one will be the '79/'80's/'90s show. I will go Melk Weg Hash Bar, 10/16/81. Plus some filler.

Unwilling. As we all did.

Last show was 25 years ago today. A fun ride from 82-95.

Top 5 shows:

10/12/84
12/30/86
9/18/87
11/8/85
11/7/85

A few summer 85 shows would have made the list, 6/27 and 6/30, but I really prefer the indoor shows.

7/13/76 Orpheum Theatre, 9/11/81 Greek Theatre, 10/9/82 Frost Ampitheatre, 12/28/83 S.F. Civic, and 7/13/84 Greek Theatre. I feel all these shows could be stand alone releases or could be put along side other shows to form nice box sets.

09-16-67 Elysian Park - Free gig with the Airplane...the two had played the Hollywood Bowl the night before and
basically both bands were upset no one was allowed to dance so they did this freebie...the weekend before my Senior Year in HS

05-21-82 The Greek - My first weekend at the Greek...somewhat of a short show but the jam from Space into The
Wheel was just a thing of beauty the way the band fluttered into The Wheel

02-26-77 The Swing Auditorium - no explanation needed

12-12-81 The Swing Auditorium - The first show after John Lennon was killed...I've always thought how much of a catharsis this show was for all who attended

08-05-71 The Hollywood Palladium - Pig Power!!!

ask me tomorrow and it will slightly different...I think we need to have a top five "Mulit-dates run" as well...Ventura, The Greek, Alpine, Red Rocks etc....be safe be healthy folks...

It got me reading some history.

I won't go for a Top Five Attended; my list would look sad compared to all yours. The best show I attended was my first, and musically, it really was the best of my 23 shows. 6/24/91, which I honestly believe could be released, hopefully as a Summer 1991 mini-box. They used to play that show fairly often on the Sirius/XM GD Channel, so who knows?
