    Sweet liberty! We're venturing into the depths of 80s Dead with the complete show from 4/20/84 at the Philadelphia Civic Center and we're placing bets you'll think this one is more than fine. A strong contender for our mega 30 TRIPS AROUND THE SUN boxed set, 4/20/84 missed the cut by virtue of its setlist being a wee bit too similar to the years before and after. As DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 35, it's found its time to shine. The first set delivers yin yang harmony between Jerry and Bobby songs, yielding driven and powerful takes on tracks like "Feel Like A Stranger," "Cold Rain And Snow," and "Brown-Eyed Women." The second set begs the question - will we ever stop peaking? - with a monumental "Scarlet>Fire," a ripping "Samson and Delilah," a "Space" that pulls shapes that know no names, and that "Morning Dew" - get.in.to.it! And because this one might have ended just a little too soon, we've packed disc 2 and 3 with knock-your-socks-off bonus material from most of the second set from the previous night, 4/19/84. Grab ahold while you can!

    Limited to 22,000 numbered copies, DAVE’S PICKS VOL.35: PHILADELPHIA CIVIC CENTER, PHILADELPHIA 4/20/84 has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman and is guaranteed to sell out.

    PSA. Data breach at WMA....

    ....i got a letter in the mail yesterday notifying me of a cybersecurity incident involving a number of e-commerce websites operated by Warner Music Group.
    Quote...." On August 5, 2020, we learned that an unauthorized third party had compromised a number of US-based e-commerce websites WMG operates but that are hosted and supported by an external service provider. This allowed the unauthorized third-party to potentially acquire a copy of the personal information you entered into one or more of the affected website(s) between April 25, 2020 and August 5, 2020.
    While we cannot definitely confirm that your personal information was affected, it is possible that it might have been as your transaction(s) occurred during the period of compromise. If it was, this might have exposed you to a risk of fraudulent transactions being carried out using your details."
    Does say later that payments made through PayPal were not affected.
    I use PayPal.
    Anyone else get this letter??

    Rolling Stones. Voodoo Lounge tour

    I've only seen the Rolling Stones play live one time, it was 1994 at the Voodoo Lounge tour. I really enjoyed the show. They opened the show with Not Fade Away. Apparently, they had a place there for famous people called the Voodoo Lounge, and I read that Garcia and Weir were both in there during the show. Anyways, I thought the Stones sounded great.

    I love the Rolling Stones. I had my old man's eight tracks in the early seventies... I remember when Some Girls came out and we would continually be snatching the house copy of it back and forth from each other. I was 10.

    Seen them live several times, most recently last summer at Mile High Stadium. I have never felt that the Stones were a great live band. They're all over the goddamn place... they never sound much like their records. Which is neither here nor there, depending on what you're looking for, but they went from the raw (Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!) to the aforementioned late 70's / early 80's affairs with sped up tempos, to the glossed over machine they became on Steel Wheels to date.

    Point being, I didn't buy the Brussels Affair when it came out as I already have so many live Stones albums and rarely play them - except for Twenty Flight Rock and Going To A Go-Go off Still Life.

    I bit on the iTunes version of this. The audio is cleaned up nicely, there are a number of unearthed gems and it is a great Mick Taylor live show. I've been playing it for two days now. I think it was like twenty bucks and change. For anyone on the fence, I say, go for it.

    Something else I didn't know...

    Keith - that Waiting For A Friend dates from 1973. Yes, that should have been included with the extras for sure.

    Probably because I kept on seeing them - the last time was 2007, I think, I do like some of their live recordings from the 1990s up to about 2007. One thing I would highly recommend...to anyone reading this with soul...is the live versions of Gimme Shelter featuring Lisa Fischer. She truly soars through the heavens on this song. I last heard it on the blu ray Bridges to Beunos Ares, bought last week, ( which also features Bob Dylan and Mick Jagger duetting on Like A Rolling Stone - shambolic!), and it is truly amazing. Another great version is on the Totally Stripped box set- from Amsterdam 1995. The sound is incredible on this-Keith Richards sounds as though he is in the room with you - which might or might not be a good thing. One of the remarkable things about the Bridges to Beunos Ares blu ray is the massive crowd, which goes absolutely bananas from the first song.

    What I wouldn't give to have seen them with Mick Taylor! Yes they were outstanding onstage in those days, and to be honest, I never would have known it if I hadn't stumbled on the "Ladies and Gentlemen the Rolling Stones" movie concert a year or two before they released Brussels Affair.

    I was watching VH-1 or AXS (one of those music TV stations), and wham, he'll right in the middle of the opener, Brown Sugar. The thing they caught me first was that Mick Jagger was actually singing, not huffing and puffing out the lyrics. Up until that time I had only heard live albums from the Ron Wood era: Love You Live, Still Life, and Flashpoint, all of which pretty much featured a band whizzing through songs, sloppy as can be. I assumed Mick Jagger was simply just a studio singer, and pretty much the same of Keith as a guitar player. I enjoyed the Hits From The Ron Wood years, but certainly not the live content.

    I had been a fan of the Brian Jones and especially the Mick Taylor years for quite some time without ever hearing the band play live from '71 - '73. Then along came the movie concert from '72 on TV, and whoa - Mick was singing! Actually singing. Keith was at his legendary best, which I had also taken as myth, and Mick Taylor was everything and more on stage (he quietly sat back and played his ass off loudly, and with all the virtuoso we hear from him in the studio). Keith (by his own admission) once famously spent a couple of hours in the studio improvising a bridge or solo, or something, and was really just at his wits end trying to land the right notes. Taylor wasn't there, but he eventually showed up, listened for a couple of minutes, picked up his guitar and played exactly what Keith was struggling for. This was close to the end of Mick's tenure with the band; Keith turned to him and only half-jokingly said, "that's why I hate you man." Mick was light years ahead of the rest of the band musically.

    The Goats Head box would be worth it for any casual to serious Stones fan who doesn't already own The Brussels Affair. My commentary on that show was strictly in comparison to the '72 Ladies and Gentlemen release. If I didn't already have Brussels, I would snatch up the box on release day. It would have been nice for them to have included the embryonic Waiting on a Friend. I was also hoping for the rumored extended version of Dancing with Mr D.

    Blues with a feeling

    Billly the Kid - excellent cut by Little Walter. I have never heard anyone who made a harmonica sound so expressive-wonderful tone. Having said that, apart from Charlie Musslewhite ( and even there, I am not familiar with his music) I have never even heard of the other harp players you refer to. Some checking out to do, I think.

    Keith - I enjoyed reading your thoughts on Goats Head Soup. I was 16 when that came out, and as I had a ticket to see them the month it came out-September 1973 - I thought I'd buy it to get some idea of what they sounded like. It was the first Stones album I got - I just had a vague memory of their singles at this point. In comparison with contemporaneous offerings by David Bowie, Black Sabbath Hawkwind etc it sounded quite middle of the road. The only track that really rocked was Starfucker. I can remember the press making much of the fact that Mick Jagger was now 30, and whether he was now too pooped to pop ( seemingly unaware that many of the new glam breed were about the same age).
    But live...they were amazing !-a fantastic night. Suddenly, Goats Head Soup shot up in my estimation and I began buying all their other albums. Today, I rank it with the 4 others from Beggars Banquet onwards-although most people rate it less highly than the 4 that came before it.

    This new edition looks like the rip off of the year. As you say, Brussels Affair has already been released as a download. The price of it is ridiculous, too. It all meant so much to me at the time though, that I am still sort of tempted.

    Goats Head Bummer

    Thanks for posting this article. Every six months or so I check to see if there are any plans for the type of reissue of this album that Sticky Fingers and Exile received. Those two records had fantastic unreleaseded live tracks and studio outtakes.

    What a disappointment to hear they're simply re-releasing The Brussels Affair as the companion piece. I already own the digital copy that was on the Rolling Stones website 8 years ago. It would be like reissuing American Beauty with the Download Series show from October '71. No sense in re-spending money on that - it's already been engineered and mastered professionally. Strike 1.

    The author of the article is correct in saying that the two standout tracks from The Brussels affair are You Can't Always Get What You Want and Midnight Rambler. Probably the two best live versions of those songs. Beyond that, the album is a starfucker less than Ladies and Gentlemen The Rolling Stones (this was the movie from the Exile on Main St tour that was in movie theaters shortly after the Exile tour, and then shelved for 30 years; eventually it was released on Blu-ray and then later on CD). Brussels is a great live show, don't misunderstand me, but Ladies and Gentlemen is from a year earlier, has almost the exact same setlist, and is played a little bit tighter and sung a little bit better). The primary difference is more Goats Head songs that don't measure up to the songs they replace from the Exile concert (which itself is the best of four shows). Beyond Doo x5 (Heartbreaker) and Dancing with Mr. D, the live Goats Head tracks don't really do much for me. Did I mention they already released this almost 10 years ago? Strike 2.

    The author of the article stated he could "imagine how much of a bummer Goats Head Soup must have felt in the moment. But for those of us who came along later, and without the generational baggage, Goats Head Soup has an incredible, melancholic beauty".
    I was a year-and-a-half-old when this record came out, and I have to disagree with him on this point. It has three great songs on it and a whole lot of missed opportunities that separate it from the previous four albums. It was so close to greatness too (Can You Hear The Music, Hide Your Love, and 100 Years Ago almost caught it) - bloody shame. By and large it does not rock, it does not transition mood easily or frequently enough, and as the author also pointed out, there are too many guest musicians (it feels very un-Stonesy). If it rocked more they could have gotten away with it; but it is primarily a morose downer, as the author implied. If I wanted melancholy I would listen to The Cure. Strike 3.

Still nothing. USPS says no package ever arrived to the local center. UPS won't discuss it. Not their problem. Last info they have is that package was dropped to local usps center on Monday morning. Dead.net wont help. They just say wait. Very frustrating.
Bright side is a realy nice nugget of Dylan/Band from 74 I had not heard until today. Lots of great stuff in the pile when you start to dig.
Stay safe everyone..

NHL underway, which is good. So far, all the players have tested safe and sound. Hopefully they can finish it out and get the season over.

Speaking of delivery dates ... I've posted before that it's usally 2-3 weeks following Shipping Notice arrival that product actually arrives in Regina, SK, which frankly I think it's reasonable given that the product is crossing an Intaternational border which is physically non-existent and when you consider all the checks and balances that goes along with transporting goods across International borders. That said, since time stood still in March-April, anything I've ordered from Dead.net has taken 7-9 weeks to arrive. I'm now beginning to understand the frustration and emotional torment of our European Deadheads who seem to experience interminal waits with each release. I guess my point is that whatever I order stll arrives, albeit later than I would like or reasonably expect. Such is life thes days, unfortunately. Look on the bright side however - the Flames have advanced and are ready to make run for the Cup!

Looking forward DaP 35 whenever it arrives!

Thanks man. No update to tracking this morning. I use Informed Delivery with USPS so I can see what is coming my way in advance. I also signed up for updates to the tracking number at USPS which still says "waiting for package" as it did on 8/3. Maybe tomorrow. ...... It's weird to read so many comments about how the USPS is slowed to a halt for the various reasons when in general I have not seen this at all. I ordered a new fishing hat from a place in California a few days ago. Got tracking, followed the package, they warned it could take extra time but it didn't. I just ordered a new SYF beanie from back east somewhere. It's tracked in my ID at USPS and moving along, no slow down at all. Wife has a birthday package coming. Same deal. Everything seems to be working fine for us with the mail, UPS, Fed Ex, Amazon (1 day for nearly everything, got the Workingman 50th in less than 24 hours yesterday after this thread reminded me I had not ordered it yet,thanks!!!!).

VGuy, I will confess. A friend gave me Kanye's Late Registration a while back, in an attempt to get me to listen to some music that happened AFTER 1990. I tried it, and liked it! Dug it out about two months ago, and enjoyed it so much again that I went and purchased My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, which is one of his best, according to the Interweb. Haven't had time to put it on yet, what with Dead/Garcia CDs arriving seemingly weekly as of late.

Enjoying this release much more than I thought I would.
Even Jerry's craggy, weary vocals somehow seem just exactly perfect.
Maybe it's because everything looks and sounds fresh and new each day I'm still here that I'm not supposed to be.

Indeed a great show and Jer's birthday. A two-nighter with The Band only two days after we got back from Watkins Glen. On Aug. 1, the crowd parted to allow a guy with a woman on his shoulders to approach the base of the stage and transfer a b-day cake to, I think, a roadie who took it backstage. Jer and the boys were already on stage and Jer definitely thanked the woman in front of everyone. Got a big cheer. And yes, the show was hot. They did that sandwich thing, which was to play a "regular song" during a monster jam and then return to the monster jam as if nothing had happened. Great prankster fun! Man, that was a l-o-o-n-g time ago! Still feeling a little crispy.

That being said, he had Mickey Mouse and Bernie Sanders "sign" his eligibility ballot. This isn't a drill.

Mines literally been sitting at my local post office since last Monday. It's now officially been sitting for a week sitting at the acceptance.

In fact I haven't received any of my mail in over a week now, including bills. Supposed to be getting my license renewal as well. Glad I have my passport for a valid ID at least.

No fault of anybody employed by the Dead or mail carriers. I know my state in particular is under attack by political forces. Crazy times.

Mine has apparently been a mile up the road at the local PO for 8 days now. If the routing is to be believed. Don't gimmie this shit about Covid either. I've had multiple packages arrive in 3 or 4 days. All of my stuff gets here like normal. It's only the Dead stuff that lies in limbo. I even had a bottle of hot sauce from New Zealand get here under two weeks. Two weeks from New Zealand folks...
An eternity from Cali? Dead.net...you're broken. WTF?
Goddamnit..I don't want to be posting here anymore but I'm agitated as fuck...again...about the poor shipping. WTF

For many years, one of my favourite late night listens has been Tangerine Dream. So peaceful I usually fall asleep after about 20 minutes. Consequently I am very familiar with the first half of their cds, and quite unfamiliar with the second half.

A new week and mine is still sitting at the local post office with the rest of my mail and no way to get it. Trump isn't letting me get my mail.

Can tptb make it possible to send a download link for this release to me as the govt is holding it up. Its nobodies fault here, but if my mail is all going to be held up until November...or until the election cycle passes, at least I could listen. Even streaming it would be cool.

Again nobodies fault here. This is truly f-cked.

If my bills end up late I'm sending my finance charges directly to Trump.

Always glad to see you pop in again.

Judd--another Grey Duck on the chat board, eh? :) I did receive a booklet. If you send me your e-dress via private messages, then I can scan the booklet and send you a copy. When there's live music again we should meet up.

Laughing at DaveRock’s comment about nodding off to Tangerine Dream at night, because I have the same issue if I lie down to Mile’s In A Silent Way - only 3 (extended) pieces, but usually after “Shh/Peaceful” it’s lights out!

As for Dead.net shipping and all round postal nightmares, I wondered why no notice about DaP 35, and it appears The Factory has cancelled my 2020 Subscription - this year keeps giving and giving. The fine customer service people have kindly request offered to “expedite” my request, as they always do, so who knows, this may be the end of the line for ordering from this site again. Too bad, because up until maybe two years ago, it was working like a Swiss clock, but now it is changing warehouses/slowdowns from Covid blah blah blah. Not affecting other dealers, not to this degree. Regardless, I’ll see where this “expedition” goes, but I feel for all who are waiting for the goods.

And the banter on this site is top notch, regardless, like sitting in a lecture hall with the most knowledgeable group of Graduate Deadheads who really know where all the bodies are buried! Keep well, all!

HI All! I too am experiencing the shipping issue. My DaP 35 has been sitting at the post office outside of Columbus, OH. since 8/3, about 3 hours away from the Burg'. The method Dead.net uses , at least for me, relies on UPS to complete part of the shipment only to transfer to USPS. USPS then does the final part of the delivery. Using the tracking number with UPS it states it is in transit from its current location in Ohio and updates are to come. Using that same tracking number with USPS it states no info can be provided.

Now up until recently, I have had of my most shipments sent to work. My Dave's subscription is one that I have not changed to my new address since the order was placed quite some time ago. I am heading into work tomorrow so it may very well be there. M company is sate of chaos so who knows though. My company is a non profit which I work in the largest program which is an approved private special education school. Sadly my organization and the school component has not come out the current virus situation with out some job causalities; there were layoffs. Prior to this the company had been making layoffs, but the school which had been the primary means of success and revenue was unscathed. Unfortunately the new corporate "leaders" have now turned their sights squarely on the school. it is likely I am in the next round of layoffs coming at the end of the school year, maybe sooner. I just hope the shipping vortex clears before then...

DP 35 #5608 of 22,000 dropped in my mailbox at 2:00 today! I wasn’t going to believe it until I held it in my hand, my wife was out cleaning up the yard and I spotted it in her hand, she was in no hurry to get it to me😬. If you haven’t gotten yours yet keep the faith, mine took an extra week and sat in Morrow, Georgia for a week and it’s only 30 miles away.

Hi All,

My Dave's 35 arrived last week and I've just had a chance to give 4/20 a full listen with a couple repeats. Great mid 80s show to my ears. I had never heard these shows before. I agree with others that the Let it Grow is great. I also enjoyed the Stranger, and Scarlet Fire is quite good. I like the show. Happy to get diversity of eras and I will be listening to this one a lot in the coming weeks.

A couple thoughts. I agree the tape sounds a bit slow. Seems to me like the release team here doesn't do pitch changes on the casette masters. Tape speed has been an issue on past releases from casette. I have to wonder if there is a conscious choice, to not change the document in that way??
In this case, the show still sounds good to me.

Spring 1984 tour has a unique sound to it. I really enjoy the sonics that Brent is putting out. Shows from this tour he is doing these long sustained sounds from his keyboard. Good fun.

The only other show from this tour that I have listened to is one of the Providence shows from a week later. Several years ago I dowloaded a copy from the Hunter's Trix matrix series. Great stuff. It opens with a Shakedown and Brent keeps releasing these deep sonic depth charges during that song - very unique version.

That Providence matrix also gave me one of most memorable listens from Dead shows. At the time, probably 8 years ago, I put that show on headphones at night before bed. During the Scarlet Fire I saw these really vivid visualizations of kaleidoscopic patterns and could feel myself in the space of the show itself. Dancing in the room, several rows back from the band - Jerry side of course.. It was a unique and powerful experience. I don't think anything other than the usual smoke was involved, though it may have been a pre-dream flashback of sorts. Anyhow, having listened to literally hundreds of dead shows, listening to that matrix of Providence 1984 is one that stands out. I recommend that show to folks wanting more after this release. Thought the setlist is similar.

Anyhow. Hope ya'll are hanging in there out there. Play it loud!

I want to say a sincere Thank You to Dave and everyone else working on releasing Grateful Dead music.

I really enjoyed the Shakedown stream shows and interviews during this crazy year. Awesome entertainment. Buckeye Lake 93 was one favorite - heres to Ohio Dead and heads!

The new dead podcast is also excellent. I love the deep dive on Workingmans.

I really appreciate all of this high quality music and entertainment in a time when positive vibes are needed.
Thank you Dave. Thank you Dead.net
Gratitude

I agree. There are a few cassette master releases where Charlie Miller has an edge on pitch correction and perhaps a few other tricks as well. I'm no expert though, I wonder who or what decides what the correct speed is? Speaking above my pay grade, there is probably some subjectivity in it???

Anyway.. hoping to get my hands on this soon. Wow.. after this it's the last release of the season...

It's actually the universal A note at 440 Hertz that dictates proper pitch, every instrument's tuning on stage is based on that standard. It's apparent when you try to play along with an instrument.

The arrival of GarciaLive 14 & bonus disc this morning prompted me to check the tracking of DaP 35. I had received the shipping mail from the DeadNetStore on 7/31. On 8/6 the small package had reached the UPS facility in Fontana, CA. Yesterday evening 8/10 it moved across the city to the USPS facility in LA. It is now allegedly in transit to its destination, which is the CD player in my living room. Hopefully it will take no more than 2 weeks to cross the pond, but there are no guarantees on that. Still, I do now have GarciaLive to listen to and Bear's recent Commander Cody release is also on its way. A veritable cornucopia of aural delights!

Head13 - it must have been annoying seeing your wife cleaning up the yard with Dave's Picks in her hand. Much better if she had run in in with the cd to give it to you as soon as it arrived , before returning to her chores. Women! (only joking, of course!)

Yeah Daverock to her credit we are trying to sell our house and she was cleaning up some stuff in the yard and yeah she doesn’t appreciate music or the Dead the way I do but after 34 years of marriage we pretty much know all our quirks and we laugh about them, and yeah I knew you were joking cause I was too in my post, I’d literally be lost without her. At 62 I need all the help I can get. LOL
