¡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 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."

7.10.90 ~ Shakedown Stream

Anyone have a link to replay ?

Also looking for anyone selling Giants Stadium Box set ? Missed it. I'm most interested in the 1989 shows

1978. I hope for 8.30.78 or 12.30.78

Anything from April 1978 and Uptown has 3 good shows in a row. Plus 2 in May.

I listened to 11.18.78 & 11.20.78 recently both are nice. I am curious to hear or know if any returned reels included December 1978 performances. I am mostly finding audience recordings for that month /era /tour

Dave’s 36

Since we just got a Pig show (2/21/71) with the Workingman release, I could see a 78 show for DaP 36. Been awhile since we had one. Maybe 4/16/78?

'84 Dave's 35

Fills a nice little hole in the live dead discography. Other than a single track on the SMR box set (12/31 Shakedown St) and of course 10/12 from Augusta on 30 trips, this is it: Here comes 4/20, thanks Dave!

So far this year we got '77, '74, now '84. Nice variety, too. What are we thinking for 36?

Thanks for The Good 'Ole GD meets The Honeymooners! I needed a laugh. Funny I would have have thought Jackie Gleason was a 77 fan though. Huh? Go Figure.

Can you imagine if you actually bumped into those two at a show? " I'm F'in freaking out man!"

*re mind “””” really weird up here as Jerry says 2/27/69

.. everything you wrote is your perspective, which is worng& false sorry to say, it’s not mine! It’s none of my business what people think about me I already know who I am and my actions. No but you never asked me any questions you’re just another one-sided person and then post assumptions with your gang of deadheads. There are three of you who make & think this way. It’s the same 3 to four clowns posting false statements. Because one Lne Person -“ KCJ ridiculous and absurd and twisted and manipulated you completely out of your mind , That’s my opinion ha ha and crack me up man take careLies I love this place. I Always speak & write the truth. I’m always a pm away to answer a question instead of making false allegations and assumptions in your mind ,
Mind. I’m not mad I’m only interested in peace! 🙏❤️💀🌹👍
*** I wrote, “#35 is going to be Alaska”, “Imagine” that!“ “Hell earth would freeze over” !!!that doesn’t sound like a answer to me. 🤔

You are often defending youtself on this, claiming "cyber bully". I think the issue many have in trusting you and being comfortable sharing with you is that you've been the source of several shady incidents on this site. For example you have claimed to be a Grateful Dead insider for quite some time now, and never once provided any legitimate information on a release before it came out. I recall the time you posted information on a Woodstock release 15 minutes after it was published on the lesser known Rhino site. When someone pointed that out, you called them a cyber bully. That's not bullying that's pointing out the information was widely available to all.

You once asked me to burn you a copy of FW1969 Complete. I spent a lot of time trying to convert files from FLAC for you since you don't have a computer and needed it in CD form. When this was taking too long you attempted to speed me along by offering information on last years box set. I admit, you caught my intetest and I did ask earnestly when you could let me know. While this conversation went on in PM, you kept saying 'soon my friend, any day now I will be able to tell you'. My trouble getting the discs to you was that I don't have a FLAC converter and most free versions had some kind of song length limitation or song total limitation, so it was a lengthy task that I spent many hours on which I started well in advance of your "inside info" offer. It was when you grew frustrated with me and PM'd with the subjuct "Where's my CDs??" and accused me of just trying to get information out of you. THAT is manipulative bullying.

We all know what Casey Janes reported happened after you offered up beautifully framed autogtaphed Stanley Mouse prints.

You reported you bought a Dave's Picks 2 a couple of weeks ago and provided a weak excuse why you couldn't tell a record store owner who posts here where you got it.

I recall you made derogatory comments about people with opioid addiction getting free methodone, and when someone questioned your lack of compassion, you claimed your words were misunderstood due to your poor writing skills and english being second language. But when I read your comments to JimInMD, I see perfect command of the english language, as usual.

And then there's this medication business where you say it costs 10K a month that you can't afford, so you sell CDs on the site here to cover the cost, but then talk about buying a $500 Europe 72 set to enjoy for yourself.

There was the time you claimed to receive your Dave's Picks several days before the rest of us (Philadelphia 1973). When you were asked in good conversational faith what the song LENGTH was for Jam and Dark Star, since many of us womdered how that continuous piece of music would be divided up, you avoided the question with one of your typical nonspecific answers like "Jam comes before Dark Star and you are going to be blown away by this primo release".

There is a lot about your behavior that does not add up. How does a legally blind man, which you claim to be even see a phone screen to post a messages?

Your post about Alaska being the next Dave's Picks did not seem like kidding around to me. You seemed to be calling it as the next one.

How many people have sent you real CDs out of pity for your supposed medical condition that you turned around and sold? It's disturbing to hear you claim to get free copies of dead.net CDs from your "inside sources" and then you sell them for personal profit.

You bring a lot of attention to yourself with your fantastic stories, and then play cyber victim when people scratch their heads and disagree. You have proven yourself to be a manipulator of people.

Bullying

Ok let’s clarify some things.....I’ve never seen Jim bully a single person on these boards. In fact, he is one of the kindest people here. I’m sure others will stand up for that as well. He’s just calling you out for the lyes that you tell. The reason folks may not like you is not because of “blah, blah, blah”. It’s because your posts are mostly incoherent and often times plagiarized. You lie about insider info you supposedly have. You have proven yourself to be a thief. You consistently try to gouge others on the board for Grateful Dead items that are priced way higher than the original retail cost (If this were EBay then the latter would be ok, but seeing that this is not Ebay, you are consistently in violation of site rules). I’m sure I’ve missed something, but I think you get the point. I mean seriously dude, I guess just keep doing your “famous jig” dance, and spreading emojis....everything should be just fine....

Geez Louise, were you not taught any manners?

Second

Not sure if the negative rebuttals regarding the Boss are directed at me? But I feel I need to reply.
First, I said more positive things about him than negative. I emphatically stated he’s a great songwriter, entertainer/performer, storyteller, and that my understanding was that Born in the USA was a anti jingo song.
I also, like others, mentioned that his awesome talent is not so much as a musician, (meaning comparatively to say JG), but with these above mentioned awesome skills.
What I did say was that I’m just not a big fan, especially of the band, and more specifically I’ve never liked their sound. Jerry once said he couldn’t get into the Doors because they sounded too brittle to HIM....does that mean he’s just using a pejorative generalization? NO, it just means he didn’t like the way they sounded so couldn’t really get past that!
Same here folks! In fact if anyone is making generalizations it was not me. Some Rubes said some unsubstantiated down and dirty things about Bruce, but I actually tried to explain WHY I don’t like their sound, and thus have never been able to move past that, and therefore,.....here’s the funny part, the point I was ironically, really trying to express was how much his on Broadway solo performance on Netflix blew me away and changed my perspective!
So to assume I’ve never listened (I’ve listened to Bruce for over forty years wether I wanted to or not on the radio or elsewhere, including living with the misses for 23 years as she’s a huge fan!), so to make such an assumption : that I’ve not listened and thus don’t know what I’m talking about, just because I have a difference of opinion, is actually doing exactly what your accusing me of!
Also, I don’t think I was shitting on anything, and if I was, I apologize. I admit I could of been a tad less harsh, but if you know me that was some-what exaggerated for humorous affect, and yes, to hopefully elicit more discourse?
So I’m totally bummed that my personal colorful critique of a 80s pop band caused such a reaction. And yes, I understand most of his best work was before then, and he continued to do so well after the 80s, but to me, sorry, when somebody mentions Bruce, that’s my first thought, that Born in the USA thin pop sound, with no improvisation or any of the things I find important in music. And so yes, as people often do so as to hopefully make a point without having to ramble on like this and micro explain, I used a general phrase, wedding band, to make a point, but I can certainly continue to pontificate why I don’t like their sound etc if you like, but hopefully I’ve made my point. Simply, my personal opinion of WHY I don’t like them, so what?
Because as most here know, opinions are like A-holes, everyone’s got one, but some of ours work too much...
Again, I apologize for the way I expressed my opinion, but not that I expressed one. I mean come on, that’s a lot of what we do here, we express our thoughts, and hope we get positive feedback, or respectful discourse, which to me can be just as fun, bantering differing ideas about, than everybody always agreeing about everything....
So Mr Ones et el, I totally agree with everything you said up until you personally insulted me!
Buts it’s ok, it’s all good, I can take criticism. I’ve been taking it my whole life. It’s part of being a fuck up LOL
So peace be with you as LMG would say, and again, please except my apologies if I’ve offended anyone!

Can’t wait to wrest how this release will go!....

WORKINGMAN'S DEAD (50TH ANNIVERSARY DELUXE EDITION)

...*** FOR THE COMMITTED
AND THE CURIOUS
Gather round every Thursday as we tell the tales of Grateful Dead days of yore! The Good Ol' Grateful Deadcast, the first official podcast of the Grateful Dead, is devoted to exploring the music and mythology behind one of the most enduring, progressive, and influential bands in the history of recorded music. Here, we invite you to delve into the band’s enormous mythology in digestible chunks. Think you know it all? We'll probe corners of the band’s history you never knew existed. No topic will be off limits.
Hosts Rich Mahan and Jesse Jarnow will take the lead, picking up special guests from the Dead universe along the way. Upcoming episodes will feature interviews with Dennis McNally, David Lemieux, David Nelson, Bill “Grateful Red” Walton and Trixie Garcia, amongst many others.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of WORKINGMAN'S DEAD, we're kicking things off with an eight-episode arch that examines each song on the album individually.
May the long strange trip continue across the pod! 🙏❤️💀🌹

Springsteen

I honestly don’t think anyone was out of line expressing their opinions. No need whatsoever for anyone to apologize.

For what it’s worth, I was never a fan. To steal a line I heard years ago; Springsteen is like my sex life. Lots of effort, but not much talent.

It’s the Fourth of July , so everyone should just relax and have a beer. No such luck for me. I agreed to join my underage daughter in a three month sabbatical from drinking and dessert. Poor timing for me, especially considering that our air-conditioning went out today.

Thanks for the Festival Express link. What a neat movie. My favorite part was when the camera panned the crowd and there was Garcia right up front watching another band perform. The other cool thing about the movie is the intensity on the band members’ faces. They were really into what they were doing.

Glug, glug.

My top 5 Grateful Dead years in order

1) 1970, 2) 1969, 3) 1971, 4) 1972, 5) 1973

Oro

As AJS stated, there’s no need for an apology. It is literally impossible to hurt my feelings, especially in writing. I love disagreement, and I’m not afraid of opinions opposite of my own.
I’ve re-read my post more than once, and I cannot see a “personal insult” to you or anyone else. One of the many points I was trying to convey was that there’s nothing wrong with disliking ANY artist, as was stated earlier, music and love of It is ENTIRELY subjective. I just don’t think we need to use adjectives that are detrimental. I can disagree with you about an artist, but that doesn’t make either one of us right or wrong. As Dan Fogelberg once said, “if even one person likes an artist, that legitimizes that artist“. I really did not want to stir the pot.
So please, don’t apologize to me. Unless you steal something from me, it’s not necessary.
And besides Oro, I enjoy 98% of your posts. Keep ‘em coming. Arguments are ok, respectful arguments are better. And besides, you don’t want to make me list another 30 or 100 artists I like!!

Yo Dave

Oroborous asked the question

"Did the Grateful Dead inadvertently kill Jerry? That's a good question and one that has been asked many times and discussed alot over the last 25 years. Wow, 25 years since Jerrbear left us. In my opinion, Jerry loved to party and play and be in the moment, the Grateful Dead fed that jones right up to the end. He loved us all so much, he played until he couldn't play anymore, and still kept trying. Did the Dead help in his demise? perhaps, but it was also all of it, the life, the drugs, the parties, the pressure....it's hard to say except that I still miss him dearly. Love you Jer
I sometimes wonder to myself what the world would be like if Jerry was still alive, I believe he had a calming effect on the universe and when he left us, a lot of that kind, calm went with him.

Thanks Daverock for the CD's, Tangerine Dream weekend coming up.

Jerry

That energy that Jerry manifested at his highest resonance is still beaming down, and there are plenty of others who are attuned to it. The Dalai Lama, maybe. Try and get on that higher plane. Garcia was an exceptionally strong receiver, with a background full of intense psychedelic experiences. He was completely open. That can be a difficult existence and it's probably why he dove so headlong into narcotics.

The band talked about getting off the road more so Jerry could heal. But really, that book was already written and it was always going to end the way it did. The important thing is we still have the music. I'm comfortable saying Jerry Garcia gave his life to, and for, the music.

Fare Thee Well Marathon

You folks are probably aware of this. Honoring the fifth anniversary, Fans is webcasting all three Chicago Fare Thee Well performances this Sunday morning starting at 9 am ET.

Wave That Flag

Happy 4th to the great Dead fan base here from your friends North of the 49th. Whatever the other 193 nations fling your way, we know there is no better and loyal compadre than the USA. FIrst to lend a hand up, not a push down, so wave that flag, so much to be proud of! Like the Dead, maybe the odd wrong note or off show, but overall, in a class by itself! Cheers!

Kongressaal 72

Holding to my defiant tradition of not playing shows on their anniversary dates, today's random pic was 5/18/72. Just exactly perfect on this sunny Southern California afternoon.

Dave's Picks #35

This is the presale week, correct?
Who has some info? ….hoping for 7/13/84 PLEAS

I literally couldn't believe it....

....was browsing Netflix yesterday when i saw that they have Airplane!. It had been a while since i've seen it so i fired it up. Wife walks in and asks, "What's this your watching?" "Airplane!', i said. "What?" was her response. Blown away. My wife had never seen Airplane!. Well, i was up to the task and took care of that scary situation. My wife's sense of humor is odd to say the least, and i think many of the jokes went over her head, but she enjoyed it.
"Looks like i picked wrong week to stop sniffing glue."

Charlie Daniels/ RIP

Charlie Daniels opened for the Grateful Dead on 4/22/79, at Spartan Stadium. He also played on Bob Dylan's Nashville Skyline album.

Anyone else still waiting?

Still waiting on 34, am I alone?

How much do you want to bet Dave messes with our expectations and chooses 7/14 or 7/15? :-) LOL

Workingmans shipping notice received

Tracking not yet available.

Hoping to be playing 2-21-71 this Saturday.

WMD

Hoping to get mine too.. I've listened to the 2/21/71 Capitol show a couple times, but not in it's Full-Norman, Plangentized glory.

A quick sidebar, did a family camping trip at an isolated place in the mountains near home and felt a little pleasure using my WMD's hatchet cutting hickory just to fire the still (and feed the campfire). I needed one anyway, why not a high-end Swedish made mini-axe. A little pricey but not much (if any) more expensive than buying one of their standard, non WMD versions.. They seem to be quite well made. Yes, I know.. a little tacky my brother noticed and it cracked him up, to me it was worth it just for that. Something else to be made fun of during the holidays.

We should celebrate Working Mans Dead, a great album and the beginning of one of the greatest periods of Grateful Dead music. Consider me one of those that considers Dicks Picks 8 one of the greatest releases and among the best shows ever performed. 1970 was a peak year and I personally love the songwriting from that period. Classic Americana Grateful Dead.

Rant over, back to your regularly scheduled Day Job encore.

Road Trips - Oakland 1979

Like a lot of you i've been filling in some gaps in my library by picking up the re-released road trips from Real Gone Music. Oakland 1979 just landed so im taking it for a spin now. This one sounds great and is a nice companion to the recent Dave's from Uptown in Chicago a few weeks before. I have to say that the Road Trips sound quality is much better than the Uptown show and there seems to be more energy to this performance than Uptown.

Set 1 starts off with a 16 minute Sugaree. Set 1 is only 7 songs but there's some good playing. Second set starts off with a nice Alabama -> Greatest Story and im listening to a nice Terrapin -> Playing right now. Im glad i picked this one up.

Re: Slow Dog

Right on man.. it sounds great, it's one of the few Betty Boards from '79. That and Dicks Picks Picks 5, 12/26/79 are must haves and make great companions. When DiP 5 came out, on my first listen.. I was totally floored. 12/28 to my ears is not quite as good, but at a certain point we are splitting hairs. If it speaks to you, it's good.

Glad you got it or how does the saying go, so glad you made it....

Slow Dog Noodle/ 12/28/79

Slow Dog, I was at that show, it was blast!

Dire Wolf/ 12/28/83. San Francisco Civic

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vJi54s3HwTU. The Dead blew the roof off the S. F. Civic this night, this show was a killer! Dave & Co. could release this show and 12/30/83 and it would make a far out boxset! As far as I'm concerned, this is as cool as anything from any era of the Grateful Dead.

Charlie D

Charlie Daniels was a chauvinist and racist. I know I won't miss him. Good riddance!! He was nothing like Jerry.

La Dee Dah...

Picked up a used Dick's Pick No 8 today for $20 at my fave used bookshop in town today...also filled some gaps in my classical collection...I'm a cello buff so I got some goodies for $5 a pop....didn't have to spend any $$$ either... a friend who had lived here in the park for nearly 37 years moved to Prescott and left us a ton of books...we went through them, kept a bunch and took the rest to the bookstore where I got a couple of hundred bucks in trade credit...whee!!!!...and it's a celebration day as my Oncologist gave me the good to go (ten years cancer free now) so I think I'll order Dickus Pickus 33...now that was a great weekend even if we did nearly die on the way home going down Highway 99 ...ahhh youth and stupidity go hand in hand....

Congrats Nappy

Nappy Rags/ Congratulations

Nappy Rags, congratulations man, that is good news!

why thankeee...

Billy & Jim...this one was a little nerve wracking to say the least...three weeks ago I got my annual C-Scan and was told there was something showing in one of the areas (aortic lymph nodes) that had been a problem in my original diagnosis...so I've been kinda going around the house hoping and hoping...today I had a pet scan done which showed no sign of any cancer...it was weird watching the scan on screen seeing my insides lit up like that....whew!!!
