    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!

    Television, possibly Starlight again, 100 people, man could Verlaine play
    Canned Heat, high school dance
    Henry Kaiser, Cal Tech, 200 people, also can really play

    Do front rows for Dead or Garcia Band count? A number, but never enough....

    Edit/add; Captain Beefheart at a movie theater; best 'band come on stage and start playing to get crowd riled up for entrance of star', all in about 45 seconds. You went from sitting in a theater with low lights waiting to 'where the heck have we been transported to?'

Except that pne member who was telling me I had to give him a free gift for purchasing an item and when I said “no!” He and this member alone made up stories about my humanity which are completely false!
    Please show me all these accusations in a post. Tell me, show me and prove your accusations and All these members you say had problems with me! Show me your prof! Just one! Besides the One member started all this slander and outrageous lies and now like some kind of conspiracy which involves my medical disabilities using my disabilities to get free products or petty sorry dude but that’s just not it!

    Back with small venues...big shows

    Alvarhanso... I have seen25-30 shows at Ziggy's from 1994-1997. Again another legendary small club. I did some post-graduate work in Winston-Salem. I wrote a few days back about my friends in Brother Cane, I think they played either 2 or 3 times while I was there.. Of course, I wrote about seeing them in Charlotte, at the amphitheater, the other day. The date of the Brother Cane Van Halen show was September 1, 1995. Other bands I saw there included Dave Matthews, and Edwin McCain. Some of you might remember that I got sick unto death a fews years back where I was in a coma for a while. Unfortunately, my memory since then struggles some, so I can't remember all I saw there. Of course, most were local or regional acts.

    Any way, I wrote the other day about seeing Steve Morse and Kenny Neal at a small dive in my hometown. The place was called The Tip Top Cafe. After I wrote about it I did some research about and found an article on it. I have been hesitant to post because of various reasons. I have decided to post the article. This was a true dive bar dump, or should I say my favorite dump. Ooops. In the article it states that the building was sold in 2013 for $15,000. As part of my memory problems, I had forgotten I went to the auction on the last day the doors were open and my bid was $8,000. I had thought about bringing shows back as another friend is a decent sized concert promoter around here. Again hate to do it, but will write about him some other time. The building had lost it's certificate of occupancy, one step before condemnation. I know the gentleman that bought it and he has cleaned it up, external paint, etc. but it remains w/out a certificate of occupancy still. He said to expensive to open as one of the load bearing external walls is leaning in. Any way, between 1986 and 1994 I spent probably between 150 and 200 nights there and saw a lot of fun bands. Many nights I did not go in, just hung out in the small shakedown across the road (barely a road.)

    Real quick, some back history. Starting in the early 70's my dad would take my brother and I to eat lunch there every 6-8 weeks. Just good ole greasy bbq. As stated in the article, the place did not become a dive until 1986.

    If any one needs a 15 minute read to kill some time, here is the article on this previous dive.

    My favorite Anniversary

    Well, I get to have a total Green Day and enjoy the 31 anniversary of my last show. I have planned for several years to write about Hampton 89, and meant to do it last year on the 30th anniversay. The problem is there is so much to write, I need to write it in a text editor before posting on here. I will get to it.

    I also need to write about what I have called my last push. A push of course meaning a lot of travel to see shows. Know most have been down that road. I wrote about my previous push going to the 88 Greek shows on their 30th anniversary. And how I did it by flying east coast and back while only missing one day at work, the Friday of the first show. I was back at work on Monday morning. I wrote about a cab driver that drove me from San Fran to the airport and that he was from close to where I lived. He really encouraged me to not get on the plane and stay in the bay area, permanently. Over the last two years I have really allowed that to sink in deep. It has been troubling to realize how my life would have been so much different if I had stayed. But also, that you can't ever look back but push onward. If I had stayed, I would have missed some other incredible moments (like probably Hampton 89). I will write about this third and final push soon, without waiting for its anniversary.

    But today and tonight is about cranking Hampton 89. It is amazing how good it sounds blasting from my Big Boy Stereo. I have written before, it shakes my hardwoods. Can't wait.

    Thing is for today I have some other things to wrap up. More later...

    LMG I think it's your latest BS story to Butch

    Guy asked for a simple explanation to a simple statement you made. Your statement of course was related to this imposter identity you've created for yourself in which you are an inside Grateful Dead associate. I offered you the Fillmore West box set and spent many hours trying to convert it from FLAC which I didn't really have the time to do but I felt sorry for you because you said you were blind with cancer. It was you who began offering advanced information on what the box set would be that year, well after I offered you the CDs. You eventually PM'd me, and I quote

    You were not answering my posts. I do not know your address. The dead net PM Inbox only holds 10 messages and you gave me your address a long time ago. You think I spent time trying to get those CDs burned for info LMAO. You told me you would let me know what the box set was several weeks ago at this point. You said it would only be a couple more days. That time has long since passed, so that makes you a liar in my book.
    ********************************

    And you kept it up over time. "Just a few more days. Next week I will be able to reveal." I think now you were just making it all up in an effort to get me to keep up my attempts at converting from FLAC. I even posted to the board here to see if anyone knew how to do it. And then more stories started coming in from other people who you had BS'd. Overpriced merchandise being sold through dead net. Incomplete orders. People who gave you brand new CDs out of pity for the deadhead with cancer that you turned around and sold.

    Everyone is tired of being conned by you. I think it was Butch used a word I never heard before. Gas lighting. I looked it up and man that is what you do. Even now in your response to Caseyjanes you have attempted to turn the tables and make it sound like it was all in his imagination.

    And what a joke that you scolded Butch for quoting a much less obscure quote with the word p**** in it (Eddie Murphy Trading Places) because your daughter reads these pages and found it offensive. At least that was a comedy skit. But it's okay for her to read you "jokingly" threaten to bring a guy out back and beat the s*** out of him. You're so full of it it's coming out of your ears. 🙏✌❤😇🙏

    1/3/69 vinyl and 1970

    That's the one for me, too. My favourite show of that incredible run. Hopefully it will be released next year.

    I have been listening to some old shows I recorded online from sources like Dead Show of the Month, Shakedown Stream etc. I could only record them in 79 minute "chunks"- with no separation between tracks. So if I stopped listening to a cd half way through, I had to go back to the beginning again. Not very satisfactory, but I used to drive long journeys up to about 7 years ago, and they fit the bill then.
    The reason I am telling you this fascinating story is that there seem to be a few 1970 shows in there-I have played 6/6/70, 10/31/70, 5/24/70 and 9/19/70 in the last day or so - all really powerful shows. They all sound pretty good, too-maybe not A1, but they would make great official releases, to my way of thinking, despite this. Sometimes a song might end abruptly, and they might not be complete shows-details of no, or little, import for shows of this vintage.

    Can’t recall them mentioned here before. What a great band. I was a huge fan of From Good Homes before RE formed.

    RE played a local club, must have been 20 years ago. They were fairly new band at that time. I somehow got the starting time wrong. So I show up and nobody was there except the band. I grabbed a beer and went into the back room where they were setting up and asked if I could hang out. No problem. Had two or three beers watching the soundcheck by myself before folks began to filter in. Tremendous show.

    Other small club highlights - a few hundred or less. Hootie and the Blowfish, Blue Rodeo, and the Freddy Jones Band.

    Buffalo vinyl release date

    Is 10/24. Was just wondering when the hell this was coming out, since it was announced way back before the universe imploded, and a use of the google machine yielded the result of it coming out in 2 weeks. And one is already on the ebays for 299.99, since you probably want to buy an unreleased product for 2.5x the list price. Now that that's settled, when is 3/1/69 being released on vinyl? That's my favorite of that magical run for that Seven Samurai/Magnificent Seven intro into an utterly devastating That's It For the Other One opener. That must be what Latvala was talking about when he described cowering in the bathroom while Phil Lesh assaulted his acid-soaked ears.

    For small venue big performance wins, Railroad Earth on their first visit to NC at the Pour House in Raleigh with about 10 other people (capacity a few hundred), all of whom were quite impressed by that magnificent band; at the much missed Ziggy's in Winston-Salem I saw all number of bands with it packed to the gills for Dark Star Orchestra (1/14/78) to a few dozen people for bands like Rob Barraco's Dragonflys with a certain Jimmy Herring on guitar, and me and other Jimmy freaks standing right in front of him slack-jawed all night. Particularly noteworthy that night was Jimmy destroying Kid Charlemagne, after which I dryly complimented him with "That was pretty good." Causing him to bust out laughing. He knew he slayed it. Others seen at Ziggy's: Del McCoury Band, John Scofield a few times, once each with Derek Trucks Band and Susan Tedeschi Band opening, plus an evening of Derek's band and Susan's band when they had just started dating, I believe; he came up to sit in with her on My Man, and I got their autographs on the setlist, the Disco Biscuits 4x, the first they did the entire Hot Air Balloon rock opera as a 2 and a half hour second set, Sam Bush Band, Sex Mob (killer jazz band led by Steve Bernstein), Medeski, Martin, & Wood, and many others. But my dad saw The Ramones there. Which is about as cool as it gets.

    One more incredibly intimate show was a super jam of Leftover Salmon boys Drew Emmitt, Mark Vann RIP), Magraw Gap guys Danny Knicely, Larry Keel, and Will Lee with David Via and others picking right next to my tent in the festival workers area at Smilefest in 2001. I came back from a campfire pick with Vince Herman, who was driving a golf cart madly and blindly through the woods at 4am, occasionally turning on the headlights, frightening even more people when he did so. We careened back through the woods to find those guys sitting by my tent killing it with maybe 25 people still awake checking it out. That was a fantastic cap to an amazing weekend.

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.

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.

And, to be fair to deadheadbrewer, I also checked out some Kanye. Stronger is decent, albeit he takes liberty with some Daft Punk samples. POWER was also pretty good.
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
