"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.

Eras

The most valid argument I have heard was posted a few years ago by a guy who owns (or owned) a used record store. He was very clear in stating that the music from the 60s and 70s sold much faster and at higher prices than the later years. TPTB don’t care about your favorite era or which ones you think are underrepresented. They are in the business of selling music.

What's Become of the Baby

I think this song is absolutely fantastic! The lyrics are so cool. The version on the original mix of Aoxomoxoa sounds so much better then the remixed version. The Dead only played it one time live in 1969. What a cool tune.

Contrarian??

I don’t believe that I intentionally provide contrary opinions just to stir the pot, although my opinions are not always shared by the majority.
Regarding the future release of shows, I do have a theory I’ve not heard. And that is, it seems to me most of the hardcore ‘60’s/early ‘70’s fans are on the older side of folks on this site. Since those of us(let’s say 60 & older) will likely not live as long as the rest, get those early releases out to those fans while you can. For the younger fans(who DO seem to be most vocal about ‘80’s/‘90’s shows), they’ll be around longer, and Dave will be able to keep the releases coming for a lot longer period of time.
I’m not one to argue which is better, because better is what YOU prefer, and it varies. I think that for us older folks, we may prefer earlier shows because that’s when we got on the bus.
And the same goes for the younger, “later years” folks. I agree that a great show from ANY year is worth having, but the current model is perhaps best for longevity.
In any case, keep ‘em coming!!
I need MORE shows!!

For those who care...

… Got email about a 6 night stream run of Joe Russo (Oct 2017 run). You can watch all 6 nights for 60 bucks. Went looking to see if I had shows in stock and didn't. Just for the hell of it went to Nugs to see what a download of show would cost as mp3. Damn things were FREE!!! Maybe it's just the audience recording that's out on the archive, maybe not. Only listened to 2 seconds before I said, it's FREE, and started the download. Don't know how many ever go there but I've been pleasantly surprise several times by what I can get from them free. But if you like JRAD, here's 6 free ones!

34 & more

74 DS etc, boo-yah!!!!! Hopefully then International sooner than later...really stoked for this one!

80s: I’m down with anything that’s a KILLER SHOW that SOUNDS GOOD for the APPLICABLE FORMAT. (apples to apples, not apples to Oranges, why bother?)
Personally that criteria is more important than others. Of course there’s nothing like a full Norman Beatty board etc, but I can get just as high off a 80s Matrix that fulfills this criteria. Alas, though there are many great shows, quality sources of course are the issue. But I bet there’s more in the vault from the 80s/90s then perhaps we know. Not a ton, but enough that one way or another, they could give us somewhat regular offerings.
The wild card of course is the fall 80 shows (are there usable tapes or not?), and there is a bunch of great shows still from second half of 89 on multitrack....SPECTRUM 89 Dave Por Favor!!
Other WC is are there early 80s Beatty’s etc....perhaps this has been answered definitively here and my self induced senility has removed from memory, (please pardon if so), but my recollection is that there is confusion and unknown about this?...

I still think if they tried the matrix approach, they could perhaps up the useable material spectrum?. Plus, as more Don Pearson tapes surface, theoretically there could be some shows that could perhaps get a Vulcan mind meld of some sort of Healy-Pearson, or Healy-Pearson-Audience matrix? Hey, a girl can dream eh!
90s: ...curious if they multi-tracked at all for possible live set at any point? I’ve enjoyed the 91 releases and most sound good to awesome...
Hey if nothing else, most of the stuff we’ve gotten from the 80s and 90s has been enjoyable enough, regardless of source. “A little bit o something is better than all of nothing”....(please excuse if I’ve missed something?)
1980:
1 - RT 3.4 (5/7& p/o 6/80): Great
2- Go to Nassau: great, but chop job
3- 9/2/80: great but supposedly only that last part is in vault?
4- DL V7 (9/3&4/80): decent
5- 10/9&10/80 Acoustic: Awesome! Is there more??
6&7- Go to Heaven & Reckonong: Great. is there more?
8- 30T (11/28/80): great
9- DaP 8 (11/30/80) great
So of course, what about Gainesville? or.....

1981:
1- DP 13 (5/6/81): good
2- 30T (5/16/81) good, but should of used next night in Syracuse, smokin! Jer’s on fire!
3- DaP 20 (12/9/81: decent? Wonder about this show choice....like how’s bout,
9/26/81? He’s played this one on XM etc numerous times?
Plenty of great 81 shows, what about sources?
1982:
1- RT 4.4 (4/6& p/o 5/82): good
2- 30T 7/31/82: good
3- DP 32 (8/7/82: good
1983:
1- DaP 27 (9/2/83): good
2- DP 6 (10/14/83): Great show, don’t feel the recording does it justice.....but I’m biased on this one...
3- 30T (10/21/83): good or ? not familiar enough yet with this one...
1984:
1- 30T (10/12/84): great
10/9/84 & 11/2/84 are on that Dave’s list?
1985:
1- 30T (6/24/85): awesome
2- DP 21 (11/1/85): Good, but so many better 85 shows....
1- 1986: 30T (5/3/86) haven’t heard this one yet...
1987:
1- G.B. (7/12/87): awesome
2- Vault View 4 (7/24&26/87): awesome
3- 30T (9/18/87): haven’t heard yet...
- VV 3 Bonus (10/3/87): good
4- NYE DVD (12/31/87): good
1988:
1- DL 5 (3/27/88): awesome show, mediocre recording?
2- RT 4.2 (4/1 & p/o 3/31/88): great
3- 30T (7/3/88): great
7/29/88 on Dave’s list?
1989:
1- DL 9 (4/2&3/89): good shows, mediocre sound
2- DVD/CD 7/4/89: awesome!
3- DVD/CD 7/7/89: awesome!
4- G.B (7/8&9/89): awesome!
5- RFK (7/12&13/89): great
6- DVD (7/17/89) awesome show, needs upgrade, and where’s the rest of Alpine?
7- Warlocks (10/8&9/89) awesome!
8- NFoD (10/16/89): awesome! Most underrated GD live release imho...
9- 30T (10/26/89): awesome!
What about Philly!
1990: tons of great shit released already...
1991: 6+ shows, all good or better...
6/22/91 & 9/26/91 on Dave’s list?
1992: 2+: both good
1993: 2+: decent
3/27/93 & 9/13/93 on Dave’s list?
1994&95: only 1 per year (30T): haven’t gotten to these yet...
Ready or Not: good/decent performances ...most sounds good....perhaps there is at least a usable show or 2?

So yes, many years underrepresented, and yes, good sources harder to come by, but as this list shows there are perhaps more possibilities available then one might think. So if their at least this good, keep em coming Dave! And thanks for all the great shows no matter what year!

Every time we start talking about later era releases

Its obvious that there is a lot of pent up demand for later era releases. If sound quality from the cassette masters is a hold up, then perhaps a lower tier budget line of releases is called for. Call it Dave's Discount Picks. Available for download or CDs printed up on demand.

Dave Pick #35

I for one certainly hope this will continue to be the slot of the year we're we get an early 1980s show, gosh know we haven't gotten many! Obviously, Dave picks are completely biased to 1969-1978- but I would think #35 will fill the early 1980s slot for the year. If you think about it not even half way through 2020, and Dave etc. has already completely overdone(imho) the 1970s period yet again....so far this year already: 5- shows from 1976, 1.5 shows from 1974, and yet another show from 1977. You know we are also going to get companion live 1970-1971 shows for the 50th anniversary deluxe editions of Amer Beauty & Workmn Dead. SO JUST MAYBE we can fit in both Dave Picks(35-36) as an unprecedented two(!) 1980s dave picks in 2020...of course it's never happened- but one can hope!

I think #35 could be 3-9-81, I would prefer 3-10-81...or just ANY 1981. I think the hopeful favorite for an early-80s pick is 7/13/84, we'll see ; )

Now one caveat to my comments, maybe we have been inundated with mid-1970s releases in the first half of 2020 because the rumors are true, and the 2nd half of 2020 will produce the other box set for 2020 - FALL 1980! This box set will of course need time to breath per Dave, just as 1976 did

That’s a good sounding recording. And I really like the Deep Elem.

No 70’s fatigue at my house, but I like all years and am on board with some variety.

So Dave, let’s get 10-31-91 Normanized and released.

#34, etc.

Agree, 22,000 seems like a good number and #33 took about a month to sell out, which, like others have said is a good development for the ala cart buyers.
74 or 77 fatigue? I don't think so.
9 years of Dave's Picks has shown us one thing for sure, this series is primarily 70s and 60s releases with a few early 80s.
I don't think we will see a 91 show released as a Dave's Pick.

I would love to see more later era shows released, but it just is not going to happen with Dave's Picks.

They have released a few 89 shows as stand alone releases, think Nightfall of Diamonds, Trucking up to Buffalo, CW&I.

Release more of these shows as stand alone releases, or how about trying out the digital downloads again? It has been 14 years, might be time to try again and they could tailor it to the later era.

Be well all.

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....

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...

This Moment Now

Cruising along the PCH past Zuma beach playing Dave's 15. Windows down, Jack Straw kicking in full swing, sunshine gleaming on the water. Just me, the ocean, and the coastline. Moments like these can't be explained, only experienced.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Skulltrip! Thanks for the (virtual) contact high! . . . and keep the brakes on for this corner if you please. Onward.

Garcia / Grisman video, Warfield Theatre 5/92

*RE/ Listening

...greetings my felllow brothers and sisters, I pray everyone is well and Smiling, don’t ever forget to “Smile Smile Smile “
I’ve been playing the Primo Fillmore east April 1971 release ;4 CDs of sonic bliss!
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

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ku5VmHNsQBE What a cool tune!

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!
