    ¡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!)

    I'll be honest I was shocked she was still alive and made 103.

    How can you not have some Vera in your stuff AND be a Pink Floyd fan?

    Listening to the 1940 cut of We'll Meet Again. Next up Till There Was You.

    Here's a raise of the glass to Ms. Lynn. 103!

    love the joke about the VL appreciation society, Colin

    her song was used to great effect at the end of "Dr. Strangelove".

    Vera Lynn and Keith Tippett RIP

    I played the Ovary Lodge album on the Ogun label when I heard of the death of Keith Tippet.
    Having no music by Vera Lynn I can only share a joke taken from a cartoon in a recent issue of Private Eye magazine. Two people are looking at a billboard advertising a meeting of the Vera Lynn Appreciation Society. Venue: Don’t know where. Time: Don’t know when.
    If you get the joke you are probably British or quite old. She was a great morale booster for people in the UK during the 2nd World War.

    Found A Clue

    Based on the below I think we’ll get either Workingman’s Era or Brent Era Dead for Volume 35.

    I’m pulling for the Workingman’s Era to celebrate the 50th Anniversary.

    During Seaside Chat: Dave’s Picks 2020 Subscriptions on 10/29/19 Dave states and I quote:

    “I like to look back on the previous year and I love this year, I love the 2019 as much as I’ve ever loved any of the years we’ve done. I really do, I think that the variety is quite perfect, it’s never gonna be absolutely perfect for everybody but I do feel that we hit every distinct era, not every distinct era, we hit most of the distinct eras in Grateful Dead history.. yada yada.. so I think we nailed a lot of things with this year."

    “Looking at what we have planned for 2020… it’s gonna be an exceptionally exciting year.”

    Goes on to describe eras and compare 2020 to 2019 (see below for sum up).

    So Dave doesn’t come right out and say it, but IMO he implies that the 2020 release schedule will be very similar to that “perfect” format.

    2019 - Eras
    1977-02-26 - Volume 29 - Keith & Donna 2 Drummer Era
    1970-01-02 - Volume 30 with Bonus - Workingman’s Era
    1979-12-03 - Volume 31 - Brent Era
    1973-03-24 - Volume 32 - Keith & Donna 1 Drummer Era

    2020 - Eras
    1977-10-29 - Volume 33 - Keith & Donna 2 Drummer Era
    1974-06-23 - Volume 34 - Keith & Donna 1 Drummer Era
    Volume 35 - Workingman’s Era?
    Volume 36 - Brent Era?

    I guess we’ll see.. getting pumped.

    RE: SIMONROB - Lucky! $0.95 plus $0.05 for shipping. That’s not bad, not bad at all.

    Just noticed that my copy cost $0.95. Yep, 95¢. In America, if you bought it mail order from the publisher then postage was a additional 5¢. Not bad for a 380 page book.

    That is the original price printed on the cover and the mail order details are inside. I got my copy in England in the early '70s. I can't remember what it cost but it was easy to order from my local bookshop as it was still in print at that time.

    What’s It Gonna Be

    Between the years Dave has Picked for release, 1969-1983, every year is represented except 1982.
    Strong year and some strong shows in the vault.

    That being said, I’d love to hear some uncirculated gem freshly restored from once thought missing reels vs a highly circulated bootleg from a master cassette any day.

    But I like the brewing excitement…

    When are we gonna know more?

    Whose got the inside tip, the scoop, the rumors?

    BTW: BILLY THE KID keep the stories coming! I wanna see the Grisman kids documentary now.
    And thanks for that Anthem Art tip.. that is dope, if I had a random $4K laying around and nothing else to spend it on I would snatch one ;)

    Damn!

    Also since I digressed into expensive collectibles, in regards to Favorite Books, I love Volume 1-3 of the Taper’s Compendium, they’re worth seeking out if you can get them for a reasonable price. I think they retailed for around $35 bucks BITD, but are a bit pricey now so I wasn't gonna bring them up, but they should get some love. They're amazing.

    Anybody got the Taping Addendum?

    Man, I want to read that.

    Dave Rock/ Village Music Mill Valley

    DaveRock, for record collectors or just music collectors in general, Village Music was a place of worship. Type in to your computer Village Music Mill Valley and it should come up. You can see pictures of it and there is a story about it and owner John Goddard. David Grisman's kids did a documentary about the place. The owner, John Goddard knew that I collected Grateful Dead stuff, he asked me one day if I had a copy of the 45, Don't Ease Me In, because Justin Kreutzman was looking for a copy, I told him I did , so he took my phone # to give to Kreutzman. Kreutzman never called me, I would have given him the 45, make a trade for some copies of tapes out of the vault, but it never happened. Anyways, check it out, it was the place. It closed in 2007.

    Oh LMG I thought I read a post from you saying DaP 35 was Alaska 80. My bad.

    After 1974 Top10 would be (list does not include The Other One, Scarlet-Fire, Estimated-Eyes, or Help-Slipknot-Franklin)

    Feel Like a Stranger
    Terrapin Station
    The Wheel
    Samson and Delilah
    Touch of Grey
    Need a Miracle
    Stagger Lee
    Cassidy
    Althea
    Foolish Heart
    From the Heart of Me
    Blow Away
    Music Never Stopped
    Shakedown Street
    Throwing Stones

    I've been waiting for DaP 35 with expectations of Alaska 80. That no longer seems to be the what's happening, my best guess is something from November 1969. That period feels due.

Don't be embarrassed by your top five. Mine suck too, compared to the glory days. But, they were far better than anything else out there at the time. More importantly, they got you where you are today.

As a guy who even missed the Touch of Grey era, my list is a little embarrassing compared to the others. But even coming along as late as I did, I always felt very fortunate to have seen them on a handful of nights where they really seemed to catch lighting in a bottle. I also got to see Jerry's triumphant return (part 2) in Denver and the last 3 Shoreline shows and others...but musically these five were the magical ones.

8/16/91 Shoreline (1st set Dark Star at my first show)
10/31/91 Oakland Coliseum (Dark Star & Ken Kesey tribute to Bill Graham)
6/25/92 Soldier Field, Chicago, IL (Schoolgirl & much of 2nd set with Steve Miller & James Cotton)
5/26/93 Cal Expo, Sacramento, CA (Road Trips Vol.2, #4)
5/27/93 Cal Expo, Sacramento, CA (Road Trips Vol.2, #4)

I was at this show, the Dark Star/Promised Land is one of my favorite Grateful Dead moments. This show was a rocker and could easily be a Dave's Pick.

no show yet. Still waiting.
I've been to my favoured biergarten this afternoon in H. near FO and I've just returned home.
No information and no disc in the mailbox.
Got me some Hebendanz Anna Fest Bier. Might be helpful for the waiting time.
Enjoy

Is the “Bear” especially being on the dead website and I’ll think it’s appropriate he’s the number one fan of the grateful dead inhis own way, he’s as biker ( if you understand the no name calling rule! But much love they’re guys have with the dead. I wish’s j could post photos!as well he is!

Wow!! See what happens when you have fat fingers?? I was trying to type in DEADVIKES, and missed it.
Yes, I did mean Dick’s Picks. There are no Dave’s available.
LoveMyGirl—I want to get excited about what you have to announce, but there’s a level of incoherence that prevents me from getting excited.
I am excited about Workingman’s Dead 50th, as well as Dave’s 35. I’m hoping for a good, Covid free summer.
Be safe all!!

I think It's Obvious that we expect news shortly seeing that we are one month away from the next Dave's Picks release and tis the season for a fall box release and the announcement usually comes at this time of year. I have to agree with MR ONES about your "your level of Incoherence that prevents me from getting excited"

Billy, I didn't have anything to compare it too, but I can confirm the folks on the lawn went ape shit! The Jack Straw -> Bertha opener was also great (sans the Phil loose string sounding bass) and the Scarlet -> Victim -> Fire was quite nice as well.

The longtime Head who sort of hosted a bunch of us at the show had moved from Colorado a decade earlier, basically to see the Dead more often. Around 93 or 94 I asked him for some of his favorite attended shows (he'd seen a few hundred), so I might repay his kindness with some tapes. He said my first two of 8/16/91 and 10/31/91 were as good as any he'd seen. Whether he was just being lazy, nice or couldn't remember at the time, I still considered it lucky to have jumped in with those two shows. Hell, 2 Dark Stars if nothing else....

I have just had a check, and notice that 5/9/77 on vinyl will finally be released on 24th October. Wonder what the world will look like then? If you go back 4 months, both coronavirus and Black Lives Matter were off most people's radar. Then...boom! Hopefully we will all still be around in 4 months to see what happens next.

I don’t have a crystal ball and I don’t know anyone with inside information so I will wait and see what appears. However, amazon.com ( not .co.uk) shows that cd versions of ‘The Grateful Dead’ and ‘Anthem of the Sun (1971 remix) will be issued on 28th August and, as mentioned by LMG, a vinyl version of ’Skeletons ...’ will be issued on 4th September, all by Grateful Dead Records. Amazon do not give any further details so I’m unaware of the track listings and don’t know if they include any extras.
I can't imagine needing any of these reissues and wonder why the first two albums are being issued again so soon after the 50th anniversary discs.
Looking forward to DaP #35 but I hope everyone will have got #34 soon.

For those of us that actually give a shit about charts, this week's UK album chart has Bob Dylan at #1 with "Rough and Rowdy Ways" and Neil Young at #2 with "Homegrown". His bobness, at 79, is the oldest artist to reach #1 with an album of new material. Even if you don't give a shit about charts, it is somewhat surprising to see these two topping the charts in 2020.

I don't want to take anything away from the absolute greatness that is Bob Dylan, and to a lesser extent Neil Young, but I think it also speaks to the dearth of good new popular music out there. Yes, there are great up and coming rock and roll bands and yes there is phenomenal music being created today, but you have to work much harder to find it these days. I'm sure it has a lot to do with how technology has changed and the music business in general, but despite all that, where are all the can't miss bands putting out great new music that isn't overly derivative?

Is this the first time Bob Dylan has had a number one album in the UK, I wondered ? I don't know, but I would think that his last three or four self penned albums were more likely to have hit the coveted spot than any of his 60s albums.

Going back to upcoming releases, there was also 8/21/68 that was due to come out earlier this year, with a free comic thrown in. Seems to have got lost in the rush, that one.

GERHARD, that's funny. I was also having a few beers in the city of ER yesterday. And finally, today was the day I could pick up my DaP 34 (shipping notice said 04/30). Still no sign of the "June 1976" box set (shipping notice 04/08). I am sure the good people from customer service will sort that out, too. But to be honest, this whole waiting game has become just too much for me. I don't think I'll order from dead.net anymore. Of course I'm aware of the current situation all around the world. And I'm truly blessed because Covid-19 has not hit my family and I don't have to worry about losing my job. However, shipping times have grown longer and longer, extra costs have to be paid (today it was 11,20 €, I have no idea why - never had to pay tax for a Dave's Picks, just for the bigger box sets).
Anyway, it's the weekend and I'm sure I'll enjoy Jai-Alai Fronton. Also looking forward to GarciaLive 14 - made me listen to that old "Pure Jerry" single CD release on my way to work this morning, what a sweet duo show that is. Couldn't get hold of GarciaLive 13 but they usually hit the record shops here in Germany sooner or later. And then there's that complete 1971 show coming with WD 50th. Lovely releases ahead.

RUSTY STRING
Garcialive 13 is available on amazon.de although I can understand if you would rather wait to see it in a record store.

OK, I'm a little late to this party, but I could not resist. So I thought about the shows which first got me on the bus. There are plenty of other great shows I saw in many great locations, which made them memorable, also: Frost, the Greek, Cal Expo, Red Rocks, but here goes:

12/31/71 Winterland - My first show

8/24/72 Berkeley Community Theater - tripping at the back of the floor, Dark Star>Morning Dew, that did it I was on the bus

2/24/74 Winterland - the wall of sound in all it's glory

12/31/77 Winterland

10/31/83 Marin Civic Auditorium - We had great seats 10 rows center from the stage, great show

So many shows.....

Hey David, 1968 will be released 7/31
The printing company closed shop over four , five months ago due to virus. Yes, the printing company was the first Party to take a step back and cause delays in the final release date.
Printing is complete and absolutely beautiful!! Records have been pressed and labeled! Get ready to party with the greatest juvenile delinquents on the western! hemisphere, the Grateful Dead! 🙏❤️💀🌹
Have a grateful day everyone, peace be with you all my Brothers and sisters!
*** I never talk about the Garcia releases because that’s not my department but I had to say , Garcia 14 acoustic release! 1986, and it’s a home run! Primo!
...Also I’m not surprised Dylan is number 1 &. Neil Young is 2! They Have both played rock ‘n’ roll on the moon an other outer space mission’s! Lol

Not going to fall into that marketing trap. $100 for a book I don't need that has 38 minutes of an unreleased live show thrown in to help to sell it. By the time international shipping, import duty and sales tax have all been added it would cost me around $150 and I'm just not prepared to pay that much for so little. Sorry but I'm not in on this one. Frankly I would rather they concentrated on getting the music to us rather than trying to separate us from our money with unnecessary and overpriced merchandise. Workingman's dog coat anyone?

Curse you Dogon! You had to show me the world of Mosaic Records! Damn, Damn, Damn!

I'm a recovering limited box set collector and you hook me up with the Scarface of Box pushers!?!

Lots of nice boxes there, thanks for the name. Have a shortcut on desktop now to the website. Have to head out now. Luckily its the end of the month and the old folks will be getting the social security checks in the mail. Should be able to order some of these boxes soon!

The Scarface of all box pushers. I might have to check that out myself.

I have the Complete Recordings of T. Bone Walker from 1940 to 1954 on Mosaic, came out in 1990. They don't carry it at Mosaic anymore, but you can still get it on the secondary market at a reasonable price, CD or lp. It's a knockout!

I hear ya Simon Rob. I’m only getting it cause the Mrs is a book junkie and went ahead and just ordered it. I’m sure I’ll enjoy it once or twice, but not really a comix guy. I’m with you, just release the music, like the whole dam vault ala carte already. Yes some recordings will sound lesser than others but so what, that’s called choice....remember when Mickey was talking about that along with the Terrapin museum etc, something about we hope to have it so you could put your order in upon arrival and we’ll have it ready before you leave.

EDIT: sorry Dennis, lol, your probably like the misses “there’s no such thing as too much” for her with books and you with box sets etc 😉

LMG - thanks for the heads up, I'll keep my eyes peeled.

Simon....I wouldn't buy it off Deadnet, for all the reasons you mention. I was under the impression it would be available from Amazon UK-which might not be much better for you. I have just had a look, and it does seem a bit pricey even there-over £30. 00. Prices on Amazon are up and down more than I am...so I am going to keep a look out and see if it drops a bit in price before splashing out.

I am much more selective, generally, about buying Dead stuff than I was 10-or even 5 years ago. I have noticed I am more attracted to an expensive show on vinyl than a box set on cds from one of the years I am not so keen on. I no longer buy everything without thinking. That's just the music-I have never gone over board on the tee shirts etc-attractive though they look.

Billy I have a feeling you and I were at the same shows many times over the years in the bay area.

Someone mentioned the 12-12 -80 Swing show right after Lennon was killed, I was there and you could hear a pin drop during "he's gone", it was an incredibly moving performance.

I have to add 10/14/80 Warfield theater to my list, unforgetable for the champagne toast from the entire audience to the band when they returned for their encore.

God those were the days.

The version advertised on amazon.co.uk is the paperback version which doesn’t include the LP. When it was first announced in April 2019 the Relix magazine website said that the paperback would come with a download code for some early GD music, however looking at the Z2 comics website now there is no mention of any download code. I wonder if the paperback still includes any music? The hardback is limited to 6800 copies but even after more than a year it hasn’t sold out. I won’t be buying it.
