    Dave's Picks Vol. 51: Scranton Catholic Youth Center, Scranton, PA (4/13/71)

    Look out Big Boss Man, Pigpen's on the loose! We're shedding our lovelight on the not-to-be-overlooked Spring 1971 tour with DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 51, featuring the complete unreleased show from the SCRANTON CATHOLIC YOUTH CENTER, SCRANTON, PA 4/13/71 AND the 2nd set from the previous night at the Pittsburgh Civic Arena in Pittsburgh, PA on 4/12/71.

    These gems find the original Grateful Dead quintet delivering some of their most inspired, energetic, and tightest performances. There's a dab of WORKINGMAN'S DEAD, a splash of AMERICAN BEAUTY, a great foreshadow into what would soon appear on SKULL & ROSES. And you'll need nearly all those fingers (or those toes) because - count 'em - there's eight classic covers ("Mama Tried," "Hard To Handle," and a rare "I Second That Emotion," to name a few) done as only the Dead could do them with Mr. McKernan and his magical harmonica.

    Limited to 25,000 numbered copies, DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 51: SCRANTON CATHOLIC YOUTH CENTER, SCRANTON, PA 4/13/71 has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering.

    P.S. We had a little extra room on Disc 2, so please enjoy the final five DP48 bonus tracks to complete 10/24/70, St. Louis, MO.

    Had to login to see about changing my address after a fourth move in five years, this time just two miles shy of Canada. Until the end of the month, gonna work a few days at the old job 2h45m away. Some awesome music and scenery makes it bearable. Started with 6/10/73 with filler of 3/28/73, then a String Cheese show from Asheville in 2018, currently going to make my way through Pink Floyd The Early Years, some terrifying soundtrack music for the morning to keep it interesting. Anyhoo, checked upon the order, and saw the thumbnail for DaP 52, looks to be an Ostrich Race, but too small to make out details, but lo and behold, on the order page itself, the date and venue are revealed. The setlist for our impending choice:

    Alabama Getaway
    Greatest Story Ever Told
    Dire Wolf
    Hell in a Bucket
    West L.A. Fadeaway
    Me and My Uncle
    Mexicali Blues
    Althea
    C.C. Rider
    Might As Well

    Help on the Way
    Slipknot!
    Franklin's Tower
    Let it Grow
    He's Gone
    drums
    Truckin'
    Wang Dang Doodle
    Morning Dew
    Around and Around
    Sugar Magnolia

    U.S. Blues

    Banana boxes

    Although Dave L claims not to have looked in the banana boxes until after Bear’s passing, I imagine it’s likely that Dick went through them. So if there was a large hoard of missing tapes in there, we would probably know what they were. Hope springs eternal through…

    Hey rockers!!

    In response to DIW, and maybe others...........

    It's pretty clear that the February, April, and June Fillmore West runs were recorded. Parts are missing, especially from 2/5, 2/8, 4/10 and 4/11. Where are those tapes? Maybe in those banana boxes? I think that TPTB know they have a real windfall there, but they're being very tight lipped about it.............

    We do know that OSF has the April 69 Avalon run, although 4/6 remains incomplete. Maybe the Arks are in there too................

    There's some late 69s we need big upgrades on, especially Halloween and Crockett. More wishful thinking?????

    If you would know strength and patience, welcome the company of trees...........

    Rock on,

    Doc

    1970 tapes?

    There seem to be a number of posts about a possible future 1970 release(s) from banana box tapes. I don’t understand why anyone thinks that there would be any new or uncirculated 1970 recordings in the banana boxes. Seems like wishful thinking to me. An uncirculated 69 or even 68 show, maybe?

    I would love to see 3-26-73 come out. The 2nd set Wolfman Jack intro to Ramble on Rose.

    If you got the curves baby, I got the angles.

    And 3-13-71 Jenison Field House at MSU. Not sure if any recordings are out there - maybe in a banana box somewhere?

    New Ideas

    I am stoked about that last idea of FourWinds.... for a double show, 4 disc release covering multiple years. Thematically it's very reminiscent of the "River" & "MsG" boxes, also the PNw box.
    A venue themed & multiple year, two shows Dave's Pick would speed up the release process considerably and provide for some interesting nuances between the shows & years. Especially for them single show stops on certain tours, like a `72 & '74 Hollywood Bowl set. Got me wondering what other good years and venues would work well with that!?

    Outdated taper picks! Love it OB, LMAO!
    What list was this Scranton show on?

    Love the ideas.

    How about they give us a fifth pick of the year each year. Call it For the Faithful.
    Stanley Theatre 79, yes!
    All the other great shows from 73, 74 76 and yes 82, the neglected step child apparently.

    The 83 show is real as #52. It is listed on the my order status when you click on Dave's Picks subscription. This happened last year as well as our good friend JoeyMC figured it out.

    I would expect a Seaside Chat soon.

    Now, what is going on with MUATM.

But I feel I must comment on Joe Biden's decision to step down. A selfless and dignified act, unusual in a world where self promotion is paramount, and multifarious crimes are routinely committed and accepted as normal political activity.

It's a really hard thing to do: to admit you're too old, to step aside, and relinquish power. And it doesn't always end well.

I don't want to get into politics, but I will say I think Biden deserves praise for putting his ego aside and doing the right thing.

Other than that, I'll just say that I hope that everyone who is eligible to vote will take that responsibility seriously. Get informed, think deeply, and vote with your best self., please.

Vacationing in Colorado right now, seeing the sights and having some fun leading up to TTB at Red Rocks this weekend. Listening to GOGD channel on Sirius. For now, at least, life is really good.

GD covered a lot of R&B and blues classics

At the festival the PA music played between acts featured a lot of R&B and blues classics

I kept thinking "GD covered this one ...and this one...
and this one..."

Daverock Scranton Joe has always given the best of himself for the country he has served virtually his entire adult life. The act of a real man is to put all before himself. Joe Biden is a real man! God Bless America!

JJC - I would agree there. But surely selflessness is a quality that transcends national boundaries. As Tiny Tim says in Dickens "A Christmas Carol" - "God bless us everyone!"

Tired of watching liberal clowns trash our country which I love. Sick people. Switched to Trump because we can do so much better. Start paying attention. Economy sucks, crime sucks, illegals suck. The Dead's music makes me forget it all.

Retirement can be the end result of a process. It's not a snap decision made impulsively if you are in a position where choice is a factor. Must be very difficult if you are in the public eye, when the sequence of events leading to it is visible and open to public scrutiny. This has absolutely nothing to do with politics. All of us experience the ageing process and deal with it in our own way. Normally with some degree of privacy.

Just waiting on a friend. Nothing here yet.

I wonder if Dave pays any attention to sales. He still says these all sell out fast, some in a couple of hours, some in days, some in weeks. He needs to update his stich, it is now years.

Edit- The double 85 dose is now sold out!

The only time I will post political stuff.....I always thought GOGD fans were open minded and open to both sides with discussion. I am wrong again. It appears from the comments lately that the Dems/Progs could have Alfred E. Newman as their candidate, and all the Heads will just follow in line, like lemmings. Who cares about what some Hollywood millionaire thinks, as if they know anything besides group think. Please try researching/reading to have an open mind. Joe B. did nothing, and all of his lemmings hid his deteriorating condition for years. I'm still not sure who I will vote for, if I vote at all. We definitely don't need another giveaway person as President. Look at the inflation numbers, sky high food prices, and unaffordable housing for the majority of citizens, and actually make an intelligent decision

Back when they were GD, I always wanted to see a lightning bolt tour starting at Alpine and finishing in New Orleans.

But I will settle for a fillmore east/west box!!!

or whatever that rumored box was.

The next box will be revealed during the days between.

I hope it's a box I can live without so I can save money and storage space.

"Jesus just left Chicago
and he's bound for New Orleans
you don't have to worry
'cause taking care of business is his name"

Ah, take me with you, Jesus!

I would probably not buy it

But you know I would anyway

Oh. If it's well north of $200, prolly no deal.

Speculation only

Time will tell, as always
