"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!)

*Limited to 2 per order. Very limited quantity available.

Some Things

Charlie 3 and Dennis - thanks for pointing me in the right direction on the Pink Floyd Pompeii stuff. Yeah Dennis, I'd love some help with that!

Stoltzie - 5/13/73 you say? I'll bite. To archive I go. When I was checking out the setlist and venue, I read this interesting comment that Jerry played an Erlewine Strat. Found some pictures of him playing the guitar, but I don't know the dates. Would need to cross-reference it with the occasions that he wore that jacket. I wonder what became of that? That's exactly the kind of thing I'm going to blow my money on when I hit the lottery.

Here's the link that should work. The first one I posted didn't work right.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1nQFArP4Q-E-P7dyDbz9xSbec2IETZ9C…

And how about Bobby with the SG - I've read that he picked one up occasionally, but I've never seen any pictures until now.

And that belt Donna's wearing with the chain leash on the front - well, it's a leash in my mind anyway....

Daverock - saw your note about Taxman. Funny you mention it, because I just saw an article recently that mentioned it and it was really kind of enlightening. The story was Harrison couldn't nail the solo on his own song. I think it said McCartney did it in one take or something like that. Of course I immediately turned it on to listen in on the new info. This was literally within the last couple of weeks. I was aware that they all solo'd at the end of the Abbey Road medley, I knew Paul played acoustic on Yesterday, but the more I read lately, the more evident it becomes that they shared guitar duties quite a bit. I'd love to see song by song breakdown of who played what. Not sure anything like that it's in print. Apparently a lot of this info came out of a recent book from their sound engineer Geoff Emerick. He was 18 years old when they brought him on for Revolver. Can you imagine? I'd steal a kid's pet dog for an opportunity like that.

Off topic for the dead, but if your looking for an interesting Netflix documentary, try I called him Morgan. Interesting story of Lee Morgan with video of Lee with Art Blakey Wayne Shorter and Bobby Timmons. Loved the Searching for a New Land

Disc Rot- wouldn’t have believed it!

Hey y’all. It’s been a long time since I’ve posted on the Good ‘Ol Forum, and hope everyone is doing well!
I do usually check in, especially when there is a new release, mostly for the stories.
This week has been weird, though, and with everything going on in the real world I shouldn’t complain, and it does put real life into perspective. But after reading on about disc rot (I’d never seen any Up to this point ), I researched it and discovered, low and behold, all but two of my Live Phish were disintegrated! Absolutely no metal between the plastic whatsoever! Evidently this had been talked about for some time, but I don’t frequent Phish forums, so I didn’t have a clue. So Ok, I figure I’ve been slacking ripping my Dead discs into iTunes (maybe I’d better), and decided to pick up where I left off, which I had already made a sizable accomplishment. Bam! And this is strange- all but four or five title could not be located on my drive. Ditto with an backup- everything else but the Dead.
So I started at zero. Ripped a few Dave’s Picks and figured I’d better do Boxilla! So I’m about halfway through and I realized I don’t have disc 3 from the 1982 Manor Downs show. (Long story but I probably missed this Because I was dealing with some personal stuff when I got the box- sick pet, sick in-law etc.)
I was wondering if anyone would be willing to copy the third disc? I’m reaching out to Dr.Rhino, but I don’t expect anything at this point.
On the other hand, the only weird anomaly I’ve seen on the other Dead discs, so far, is a weird little thumb-print discoloration on Disc three of Dave’s Picks 1. Plays fine and ripped fine. I don’t recall, at the moment, having issues with any other Dave’s Picks. (Good news is that I didn’t see myself sitting on my car in that set of captchas).
Stay safe and healthy.

Imagine for a moment

The Grateful Dead breaking out Alligator in 1985 with Brent and Jerry singing lead. I think Brent's plinky keyboard tone would have worked, too. Oh well. What might have been...

It's Sunday in Plano Also

Ice Cream Cone Guy - >>>>> I did my downloading at work...….

Good for you, screw the man. The number of man hours I spent at AT&T working on Grateful Dead things! I type all the songs lyrics in files at work, then printed books off that we sold at Dead shows! Maybe why me and ATT parted company :-) Fuckem if they can't take a joke!

Keith the Fan Man - I have the Pink Floyd boxes (and I think all the other stuff), let me know if I can help with those different Echos.

On Re-do's - good "quote" by Jerry about repainting a picture. Sometimes you have to wonder if old stuff is being revisited because there are NO new ideas from people. Could just be corporate pushing also.

Mr Ones and his liner notes - back in my youth I would buy any album that came with lyrics!

Jeff Smith - George Harrison and My Sweet Lord. I didn't know George did that Andy Williams song! (kinda of inside joke - when first met wife she was a big Simon & Garfunkel fan and I was a huge Andy Williams fan. Used to tease that S&G were doing Andy songs. Since Andy did every pop hit of the day, in the day! Like his album with My Sweet Lord, I had NO idea at the time that was a "beatles" song, which is how I would have viewed it)

Dave the Rock - CD go up? That's what I tell "she who must be obeyed" also. (I've heard DaP 1 is going for 2,000 bucks all by itself honey! Yes, honey that vinyl has gone up 10 fold. Yes I know I don't have a turntable, but they were limited. If I don't get now, they'll be gone forever!!!)

Giant Vs PNW sales. Maybe Giant outsold pnw because of the NY fan base. PNW might have been a popular visiting site, but I would have guessed more fans came to the PNW, vs being in the PNW. But NY is NY and it solidly goes back to the beginning.

Deja Vu all over again, don't worry about repeat posting here Dave, old Deadheads (like me) can't remember that kinda of stuff.

…… the trouble is all inside your head she said to me.
You can't remember shit, except to take a pee.
I'd like to help you in with gaps in your memory
I got a mnemonic device to help you remember

…….. Andy Williams, right?

Musings on a Sunday

"Good morning rockers!" (tip of the hat to Doc)

Sixtus - Totally agree we could use the full shows of DP1 & 3. I'd certainly buy them. And I hope that little bambino of yours is doing well!

Lovemygirl - 10/19/73 is hands down my fav show. At least when you mention it.... LOL. Not saying its the best, just my fav. I save that one for special occasions.

Icecrmconekd - Download series seemed like a collection of 2nd tier shows to me. Good shows! But not great ones. Seemed like they were just dipping their toe in the water as an experiment but didn't want to give up the primo goods in case it didn't fly, which it didn't. I too wasn't enamored with digital product at the time, and actually I'm still not. Digital content depreciates to $0 value the moment you buy it, while CD's have some resale value, especially limited releases which hold 100% of their value or more. That is how I convinced my wife the releases are not "throwing money away".

And imagine my disappointment when I went to buy the Giants Stadium box the other day and was SOLD OUT! Surprised me... I noticed they only ran 10,000 copies of Giants and 15,000 copies of PacNorthwest, which is still for sale after 2+ years. Amazing that Pac/Northwest hasn't sold out despite the higher production run. That is an amazing box. Maybe that'll encourage them to put out more 80's/early 90's..... (Space & RV3, that 's your cue....)

[and again, the reason I rarely post anymore is that I feel like I've aired all my opinions over the years to this mostly-same-group of people - I get deja vu anytime I start to type. Apologies for the redundant chatter...]

Origins

Looking less attractive by the minute !

Yes indeed

many many Miller remasters making the rounds...I would say easily over twenty five during the last two weeks or so...many 24 bit included...but for all of that my main capture today is Ventura Co Fairgrounds July 30, 1983...a great sounding AUD recording ... listening through the headphones I can smell the Ocean...with all the cool remastered sbd's we get I tend to forget how good some of these AUD's sound, especially outdoor shows...Billy The Kid, I'm jealous at your mention of BBQ... because of drought conditions and hot dry weather (with 25 MPH winds to boot) we are unable to do charcoal fires, camp fires etc...happens a lot this time of year here at Grand Canyon but this ban started a few weeks earlier than usual...earlier this month I had picked up 5 lbs of beautiful short ribs I had intended to smoke and came home from town to find out the ban had been put into place earlier that same day...browned and braised they were still very good but...well, you know...

Dennis Mosaic

Hi Dennis, sorry to be an enabler. I have followed Mosaic for about 20 years and own about 50 of the big boxes. But they are very limited, Mosaic gets the rights to the music for a certain limited time and the rights for a strictly limited run. The wonderful Hank Mobley 60s Blue Note sessions is only a very few thousand.
Its a more or less a one man operation these days, Michael Cuscuna doesnt seem to be so hands on, and the office seems to be run by Scott Wenzell. Of course they have their own warehouse issues, and the they dont press up the whole run in advance, which sometimes give rise to frustating delays while the next batch is pressed, but here is the difference , Scott is only ever an e mail away, any problems and enquiries are dealt with promptly.
For me Mosaic is the gold standard (Bear Family in Germany concentrates on areas of music which are of little interest to me), no gimmicks, perhaps an austere aesthetic for the boxes and booklets, but excellent remastering. The deffinitive issue of the music in question. For European customers, Jazz Messengers in Barcelona carry Mosaic which might reduce costs associated with sending and import duties, but they dont get everything in my experiance. Hope this whets your appetite, unreservedly recommended.

Bear Family Records

I ordered Freddie King and Slim Harpo box sets and they are fantastic. I live in the Bay Area and I received the boxes within a matter of days, the way that they packed it was fantastic. I have nothing but the best to say about Bear Family Records and the fantastic service they have given to me.

Bear Family Records

I love their box sets, too. The Sun Blues Box is one I bought about 5 years ago, and is one I have been playing a lot recently. Wonderful music..great hard back book, too.
My last purchase from Bear Family was about two weeks ago-"The Real Humbler" which is a live show credited to Robert Gordon with Danny Gatton. Its solid rockabilly from start to finish and features some of the most amazing guitar playing I have ever heard in my life.

Dogon Mosaic

Thanks for the additional words. So much shit available in todays world. When did this happen? There wasn't this much stuff available 20 years ago? Internet the main driver? Or has the number of 'old' things climb high enough that exponentially there is that much more available? It seems odd, I thought recorded hard medium sales were down world wide (kids don't seem to buy "records" anymore, everything is spotified), yet, large box collections today abound in numbers that I can't keep up with!

Extra item - Daverock - you used an expression about 'keeping your eyes peeled". I've know this expression since a young tot, and I have thought about it over the many years (along with other phrases). But this made me wonder about it. I always thought it had something to do with potatoes, eyes and all. I looked up and wonder if this was right in your book.

The origin comes from England and it is in reference to Robert Peel who started the British Police Force. The nicknames for the police were "Bobbies" or "Peelers" - peelers referring to keeping a watch out for lawbreakers. I know this is correct because 40 years ago I took part in a competition organized by the British Police and this was one of the questions that stuck.

Doesn't quite explain peeler AND opens up the question, why Bobbies?

DaP34 and Mosaic

I haven't quite finished my initial run-through of this release (tried for the entire second set last night, but started too late with one-too-many-whiskey-sours pulling on the eyelids), but WOW!!--this might be the best DaP ever. And I said that about DaP33, so this could very well end up being my favorite three-DaP run (we discussed that about 47 pages back . . . ) DaP32 did nothing for me, so it will have to be 35 that completes the trifecta. Everything on 34 is played ferociously and in such a unique manner. Seastones was really cool. The bonus disc is just lovely.

I have known about Mosaic for decades, but have never allowed myself to look at their musical gifts to the world. I know what they do, and it seems like heroin; I've never allowed myself that even once, either, because I imagine both are like kissing God. With my love of jazz and my completist mentality I could get lost for good with one taste of Mosaic, just like I imagine can easily happen with Smack.

Bobbies

Bobbies for the early police in England comes from the founder Robert Peel, Robert to Bobby to Bobbies. So two names Bobbies and Peelers from one name.

Dennis

Why Bobbies?
Same etymolgy as Peelers, Bobby the diminutive of Robert!
Robert Peel was the UK PM who introduced the police
Edit, Colin just beat me to it!

Same Shows

..a bit jealous of some of the shows you guys got to see, but happy to see some of these getting released and content with the ones I was able to see myself.

Never get sick of hearing campfire stores of shows attended. Thanks so much for sharing.

Weekend Viewing/Listening

I’ve been having a lazy GD weekend. Started on Saturday by watching the blu-Ray from Sunshine Daydream, then the blu-Ray from the Giants Stadium Box. Today I relocated the Festival Express dvd and watched the film and the additional tracks, Pigpen was looking good and in good voice. Then I moved on to audio, first with the May 77 Barton Hall show and I’m now listening to the first disc from 071289 from the RFK Stadium Box.
I find all the eras interesting and truly don’t have a favourite. There always something new in the playing no matter how often I listen. Having missed a few haircuts my freak flag is starting to fly again! Perhaps that’s why I’m feeling nostalgic?

While I have no interest in soccer myself I feel that I should congratulate my old home town team, Liverpool, for winning the Premier League after a thirty year gap.

Edit: with all this talk of box sets can I put in a good word for Revenant. Their Charlie Patton and Albert Ayler boxes are a joy to look at as well as hear.

Mosaic Records I've been…

Mosaic Records
I've been buying these sets since the '80s. All I can say is that if you think there's even a possibility you might like one of the available box sets, snap it up. Always great quality that always sells out.

Who put the Bob in the Bop Sho Bop

Thanks Colin & Dogon, I read that damn sentence about Robert Peel and never made the connecting leap. DUH!

DHB - >>>>>> and my completist mentality …….

Exactly!

Blues, Brews, and BBQ....

...and mixed with a little funk. Just one of those perfect Sundays to drink a metric-shit-ton of beer with my neighbors, and spin tunes all day. Last five or so......

Jimmy Bryant/Speedy West...

Bear family also puts out some mighty fine single and Double disc sets...

Beautiful and unusual

Two cds I have been listening to over the last day or so feature Hawaiian music recorded in the 1920s and 30s. They are called "Master of the Hawaiian Guitar" by Sol Hoopii and "Classic Slide Guitar" a compilation on the British Catfish label. I have never listened to this type of music before, but these two cds are superb - beautiful guitar playing with some excellent songs. Great singing-and the sound quality for such early recordings is also top notch. The Sol Hoopii is on the Rounder label.

I ventured into post 1974 territory with The Dead, too. Something of a rarity for me this year. So I was happily surprised that 5/12/77 , the one I chose, is fair crackling with energy. The first show in the 77 box set-I am tempted to stay with this box and listen to the next one next.

DaveRock May 77

Are you talking about 5/11 or 5/12? They're both real nice shows, but 5/11 might get the slight nod from me...

Little Walter/ Juke

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yKcC1-l2104. If you've never heard him play, give a listen. I have to crack a cold beer and get my bbq going.

Wilfred - May 77

Sorry, it was the 5/11/77 show I played yesterday. I have 5/12/77 here to play next-hence the confusion. It doesn't take much ! But I agree, a really well played show. The shows in this box aren't as familiar to me as the ones covering the 5th to the 9th May. Probably because I had the earlier ones on tapes once.

Nice Reference

Carlo13, nice AC/DC reference with the Hells Bells lyrics. Back in Black was big in my high school when I was a freshman and while the cassette is long gone, there is a copy on CD on my shelf, good to bust it out once in a while.

The show continues...

Dear DeadFreaks

Just wanted to check-in, and relay that my plight of joblessness has come to an end.
With two offers in hand, the trigger is pulled on the more robust and enticing of the two. Landing where I was hoping in terms of compensation and title, I can now have no worries in continuing my pursuit of all things GD that require monetary input; as the old saying goes: I NEED MORE CHINA>RIDERS!!!

As always, I personally applaud and appreciate the positive vibes that emanate from these parts day-in, day-out. It has been a steadfast rock of inspiration moving me brightly through these otherwise dark times. And may the days brighten and shine upon you all as we move further into the unknown.

As an aside, a hearty shout out to GreenMtnDead as the inaugural DeadHead guinea pig who endured a challenging 18 at Chez Sixtus Mountain Top Disc Golf over the weekend. Despite a Raven disc still sitting perfectly snug in an impossibly fitting tree notch 25 feet up above hole 4, his presence was pure welcome and he is a 100% standup dude. DeadHead invitational to soon follow.

Be Well People!
Sixtus

Hooray for Sixtus

Congratulations on the job prospects.

Gotta get down to the Cumberland mine

Happy, happy, joy, joy..

to Sixtus, Great News! And we could all use some good news these days even if it’s only vicariously!
Now quit goofing off and get back to work! 😉

Pays good money...

Five dollars a day. 😬

Sixtus Rides Again!

Yahoozers on you Sixtus! All the best in your newest salaried incarnation! Onward brother!

The things I do to avoid doing work......

Did someone say work? Congrats Sixtus on the new gig! And speaking of work or ummm "working" from home. I've started doing tie dye during all of this stay at home quarantine stuff. Half of my garage is now a tie dye art studio! Started out with a kit that my daughter had gotten last year for Christmas. Next thing ya know, I've spent over $500 on dyeing materials, t shirts, bedsheets and tapestries, plus prep material like soda ash for presoaking the shirts and Synthrapol for washing out the dyed items after. Fun Stuff!!!

My avatar is now a picture of my best work so far which is my first attempt at a Mandala Tapestry that I rinsed out and unwrapped today. I wish I could post a better photo as the avatar doesn't do it justice...turned out really cool!

Anyone else ever try tie dyeing?....like box sets...very addicting!!!

Tie Dying

Funny you mention that KCJanes.. with no camps this year I, too, purchased dye and materials to give my 11 year old something to do. Holy Crap that's a good Mandala. Hats off.. the pressure is now on me. I won't have time to hit it for another couple weeks.

Sixtus, right on and congratulations. Great to hear.. nice inspiration to the rest of us.

I will have to follow-up.

KCJ/Tie Dying

Dooood, nice work that looks awesome! I tried a little way back when but never was any good.
So, how can I bribe you to make me a set of curtains? I have a bath that I had to take the door off as the design was stoopid! No one really goes in there but me, but I’d like to have some curtains just in case and to add ambiance since the theme is psychedelic...it’s my Sunday sitz bath, cold frosty, listen to the Dead room! So, yeah, “my designer” says I need tie-dye curtains lol...

Beautiful mix & mastering with a sweet low bottom Phil’s bass sounds like he’s playing lead on the reels! Pigpen is just awesome during this spring tour especially in NY at the old village theater ! Nicky heart is missing so billy takes on a different ape to playing his drums. Also Tom Constanten sits in on a few numbers. A very grateful release indeed! I love 70-71 Dead , two favorite years in the dead’s history!
I can honestly say every song is primo, and I never have to skip a song. I can each of the four CDs straight thru ! Good Ol’ Grateful Dead!
Rock on everyone, have a grateful day! 🙏❤️💀🌹

True or False?

Asshole or Prophet?

Or is it Profit?

KCJ & tie dying

Lord knows like most of us I'm sure, I have worn more than my share of tie-dye shirts, BUT, have never made one. Until recently. Before I left the store we decided to make shirts. I was shocked how much dye it took to make something solid color vs white with stripes of color. Yours came out great in the tiny picture.

Is that a shirt or sheet. If sheet, will watch for you at rump rally's :-)

C'mon LMG

Give the dude a refund or something. We're not here to f each other over.

Admittedly, I don't know much about the situation, and there may be more to it but we're not here to act like dicks.

See if y'all can figure something out, no?

Back to your regularly scheduled 'Weirdness' (see GD Movie Soundtrack disc 2 :-)

Straight to Streaming....

Interesting no mention of this Angels Share/WMD release by Rhino or here.

But there it is. Popped up on Apple Music today. Will listen to it ASAP post work. Thanks to all involved!

Touching the knowledge base....

…. that rule these boards.

Woke up this morning with a flash thought (like most of my thoughts).

70's novelty song about hippie and the south, maybe a VW. (NOT Uneasy Rider)

End of song they're searching a hippies car, someone says "hey, look, a SEED. Must be a DEALER"

Ringing any bells?

I was surprised, Uneasy Rider was Charlie Daniels. Back in the day with that song I don't think he was known much, for me his first hit will be Devil Went Down.....

*Re/ Wilfred & KCJ

Wilfred, you don’t know the truth! Your a one sided fella I guess, I can’t live life like that in life. Their Are always two sides, you clearly chosen yours. No problem, peace be with you.
🙏❤️💀🌹

Tomorrow is Forever

ST

Nice visual....look, I just saw a dolphin in my minds eye......California dreamin for sure, supposed to be there on vaca right now, sigh....Stoooooooopppppiiiiidddd Covid, Dooooaaaahhhh!

Truth

Too late dude...Anyone who’s had any kind of direct dealings with you knows the real truth. You are constantly trying to screw people over on this site and price gouge them. Most know the truth, and I’m here to keep calling you out until everyone knows. Get used to it!
