Who's up for a revolutionary evolutionary ride? DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 30: FILLMORE EAST, NEW YORK, NEW YORK 1/2/70 captures the Grateful Dead as they make their first foray from the experimental 60s into their early 70s acoustic Americana period. Yes, this one is a little bit country and a little bit (psychedelic) rock and roll.

When the "Magnificent Seven" - Pigpen on percussion, T.C. on keys - first took the stage on 1/2/70, evidence was clear that the trip was about to take a turn. From their western wears to the twang in Jerry’s “broken-string blues,” it appeared they'd brought the Bakersfield sound to the Big Apple. They worked through much of what would become Workingman's Dead, stunning the crowd with laid-back numbers like "Uncle John's Band," "Casey Jones," and "Black Peter." Just the same, they satisfied 60s stalwarts with magical versions of "Dark Star," "St. Stephen," and "That's It For The Other One." Sonic alchemy, indeed!

DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 30: FILLMORE EAST, NEW YORK, New York 1/2/70 has been rounded out with a bit of 1/3/70 (the subscribers-only bonus disc features the bulk of 1/3/70). It was recorded by the great Owsley "Bear" Stanley and has been lovingly mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman.

DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 30 is limited to 20,000 individually-numbered copies*.

Things

Vinyl Warfield should be here today! :-) CD's tomorrow!

Oroborous - wake up with bullfrogs on my mind? Only when I past out that time in the swamp, opened my eyes and there was Jeremih sitting on my wet head, with large swarms of mosquito buzzing around me with my body racked in pain!

Stoltzfus - yeah, got an icon up!!! And that was the best you could do? :-)

JiminMD - Funny you once again bring up 80's under rated because of poor recording. (Agree, I was there also) But just last night at the store I had a long mix going on when I Al Jolson came on. I thought of Jim's comments about poor recordings. I read/heard once the recordings of Jolson didn't do him justice. That he sang in a very deep voice that couldn't record well in the day, but live you could feel it!

HF theory of the third show

Statistically speaking there maybe credibility to your theory as only one out of what? Six “third” shows would still prove to be statistically significant lol
Personally, I liked most of those shows....and 77-78 isn’t in my top years...Eugene, Bingotown, that 72 Baserkley etc..... Boulder was ok, at least they tried something different (the release that is) and Boise was decent if only the sound was a little better. it’s so funny how we all get moved by different shows!

Many and varied

How I love the human species. Such a mysterious and complicated creature. I can have 80% of what I want, and still complain about the other 20%. I forget to count my blessings and focus on the positive. As Blind Owl Wilson said "It's the Human Condition". For me, sometimes the wait is the most exciting part. Once I actually have something, "The Thrill is Gone". (Sorry B.B. King) I hope everyone stays safe, and enjoys their summer time.

We were talking about mosquito factories....

Just a quick off-topic remark... although, is anything truly off-topic whilst waiting for two vault release announcements? I harken back to the discussion of whether pork chops and mashed potatoes should be kept separate on one's plate...

This past weekend, while Dead & Co. played up the street in Boulder, we planned a two-day, 35-mile pack raft trip down the Yampa, thinking we'd knock out about half the distance on two consecutive days. At the put-in, we had to inflate the rafts, strap gear to the bows of our boats, etc. It was somewhat alarming to see a public health notice that West Nile Virus had been detected in mosquitoes at that site, as we were repeatedly bitten by same. So we take off as fast as we can and within a couple miles we see four great blue herons and a flock of about fifteen white pelicans. Elk etc. We stop at the first official river campsite to see what the prospects are like. Within seconds, we was swarmed by a particularly vicious brand of mosquito; swarmed as in difficult to breathe without inhaling them. True, full-body swarms! Yikes! Suddenly, welts everywhere. We reboarded in a frikking hurry and only set foot on shore once again, late in the day, when the up-canyon wind stopped forward progress and grounded us and the mosquitoes. We shoved off the second the wind abated and, in a measure of the misery dealt by angry mosquito swarms, we paddled the entire frikking 35 miles in one day, arriving at yet another swarm at the muddy and therefore slow take-out. More welts, which we treated by inhaling a good sativa and a couple freezing cold Hamms. Okay, the welts were still there, but we felt better about them. Side note: I have tested the leading non-DEET sprays and lotions and this just in: they do nothing against the angry swarms. NOTHING! Only DEET works and one needs to re-apply frequently. Because DEET is bad for humans, this is not a solution. So I just postponed my week-long backpacking trip into the Wind River Range to see the origins of the great Green River until August, when the angry swarms are a lesser threat.

No wonder we saw no other humans on the river that day -- or anywhere near the put-in and take-out. Still, we had a few puffs and a few Hamms while cruising down 8000 cfs on the Yampa, so in an echo of Apocalypse Now, our mantra was "don't step ashore"...

And now, back to your regularly scheduled "what were we talking about" conversations.

Excellent points, Alvarhanso.....

I was too lazy to go back further than two years, so my data set was limited, perhaps leading to an erroneous theory. Ah, those old erroneous theories -- pretty much covers all my theorizing....

Interesting that you nailed down 11-17-72 as a 3rd DaP -- as you know, I'm a freak for fall '72, so that upends my "theory." But you also mentioned your disinterest in 8-25-72; perhaps I'm alone in enjoying the hell out of that show.

In any case, with my "theory" in tatters, I'm just fixated on timing now. DaP 31 news seems destined to drop sooner than the box set.

To be clear, the past pattern has been an initial announcement of the box's musical contents, then the "reveal" of the physical product during MUATM. Dave did say a while back that they'd be "shouting from the rooftops soon" on the box... so I assumed that meant the usual one-two, content announcement, then physical product "reveal."

Hell, if the box news is held til MUATM, which I plan to attend (saw the Soldier Field show a few days later, my only Hornsby show) , that's only 23 days away. And I'm a bit ambivalent. If it's not an era that interests me, I save some $$ and simply dive back into the riches that already line my CD shelves. Typically I listen to a show, then shelve it, so that it remains a wonderful discovery on a much-delayed second listen.

Pulled 7-7-78 last night and enjoyed re-living the first set. We tripped all day and looned out on a lot of people, then when the heat of the day had passed we were crispy as hell and the purple stage lights came on and they played a Jack Straw / Candyman opener. After getting too close to the stage at past GD shows -- that incessant hum of lysergically elevated minds, or was it the amps? -- by 76, 77, 78 we would "take a step back" and enjoy from what seemed like a prudent distance. On 7-8-78, my buddy Peter nudged me during the Other One and pointed out that the entire first three rows had emptied to dance in front of the stage. (Naturally, they don't allow that anymore.) So we scampered down and hung out in the first row for the rest of the set. Those were the days, eh?

I do stand by my call on DaP 31 as a '79 show. Soon to be proven wrong, once again, my friends.

The list of dislikes was so long, but everyone has their favorites. 25 is a hot show in my book and their best November 77 release to my ears. Love the opening half step and the whole first set. And yes, that Scarlet Fire is different, but the rest of show is great. I also really like the Colgate show was well, with the bonus third disc. Dave's 4 and Dave's 28 from 76 are both solid shows from 76, with great should quality, but I have not yet listened to a show from 76 that I did not like. Most of the 76 shows were recorded by Betty except the falls shows when she was gone for a while after Rex's accident. I also think Dave's 24 is a fantastic sounding fall 72 show, different, but solid. And I agree, the 81 Boulder show was not the best. I did give it a full listen when it came out, but it does not get much play. And don't forget Boise!

Dave's 31? Still think we may get our first 79 release.

Enjoy the Dead you love, there is a ton of great shows out there.

It's strange

Comments were made about the extra bass that Jeffrey Norman added to the Berkeley Dave's Picks. That absolutely drove me nuts when it came out and for almost ever after. Then I found a setting on my digital player that expands the stereo separation, and in doing so seems to filter out that extra bass. Go figure. So now I like it. Fantastic Other One. The whole thing rather compliments Veneta well. "would somebody turn these monitors up? For fuck sake," probably my favorite Bobby line.

I'm listening to Dick's Picks 18 this morning, Playing in the Band particularly. A 24-minute version precedes what is in my humble opinion the all-time best Wheel they ever played. The Wolf intro is worth the price of admission alone; but Keith does a fantastic job with the Wheel chords softly playing in the background. Definitely a passage best accompanied by a parking lot balloon.

But the real story I came to tell is about the Playing in the Band. I don't think I've listened to this more than a few times, all ways too eager to get straight to the Wheel. The first 15 minutes or so is as good as two-drummer Playing gets.

Brokedown Palace may be my favorite Dead ballad. Those two E72 versions with Pigpen on the Hammond......

Anyone going to stand up for DaP 25?

I have listened to this one several times since it was released and it is even better overall than I remember from my tapes. It is a show I go back to quite often. Jerry definitely redeems himself after that botch during Scarlet Begonias. Just have to see it through into the Jams.

I am into Eugene as well. Boulder? Not so much. Dave could have done better for his first dip into '81.

Box

The clues have dried up and we are already at the end of May. The PNW box is still available for those that do not have it yet.
I was looking through the liner notes of the Dead Set reissue. For disc 2, they have songs from the Warfield dates and Radio City, which would lead me to believe they would have had the full shows when they completed that reissue. Maybe this year is the year we get that fantastic run! I need more Shakedown Streets.
If not 1980, my guess would be a late 80's Shoreline run.
Hopefully next week is the week??

Real Gone

I just saw that real gone music is releasing road trips vol 3 no 3 June 14th.

Prediction: Box Set after Dead & CO Tour

At this point it seems Dead & Co supersedes any near term box set

Lovelight

when I hear the opening notes I go "uhh".

never was a fan.

oh, I've listened to plenty of them, and still do, but..."not Lovelight _again_!!!"

"I get action from my piggly wiggly woman..."

snore

then the band jams hard on it which is good

Aoxo 50th sold out?

How do you sell out of a digital download?

The third show in probably the best run the boyz did in Vegas...

https://archive.org/details/gd92-05-31.sbd.paino.544.sbefail.shnf/gd92-…
....H>S>F and a Scarlet>Fire in the same show. A very nice Picasso Moon. A lilting Attics and Steve Miller sat in from Spoonful to the end of the show. I took my younger sister to this one and dosed her. I remember her & I sitting in our car after the show people watching until they made us leave. She bought a grilled cheese in the lot, proceeded to open and close the slices of bread, amazed at how the cheese stretched then would reform it its original form when she closed the bread slices back together. I don't think she ever ate it. She's a good looking woman and I had to keep fending off my friends from hitting on her. Good times....

Dead & Co Streaming Has Dropped

...in case anyone was looking for it (I was), Dead & Co just dropped webcast info for Summer tour. They waited til like the last possible second considering it starts tonight....just sayin'.

VGuy, I concur - that is a pretty good show from this end...

Sixtus

Stoltzie

I'm not a love light fan either, generally speaking...but 5/24/72 was basically the only version I knew for years, as it was a bonus track on Rockin' The Rhein. It's 12 minutes with no rapping and some of the most unique jamming theses guys did. To each his own, but I'd hate for you to miss out on something special. But I could be too late. The half hour piggly wiggly pocket ball versions may have ruined it for life. I shit you not, if I had only 3 Pigpen tunes to take to my desert island, the 5/24/72 Lovelight would be one of them. Good luck.

Dead & Co stream....

....sweet! What's also sweet, is that nugs is offering a free stream tonight of the Unlimited Devotion Rex Foundation Benefit. They're also streaming the JRAD show in Eugene tonight. Let's see....TV, PC & Tablet. I'm all set! Dead & Co is only in HD? No SD?

Hi All, I am slightly late…

Hi All,
I am slightly late to ABB discussion. However recently over on the Grateful Dead Guide blogspot, the author posted a great and thorough comparison of The Dead and ABB. Now I am fairly certain the point of this was more to showcase the times each band shared the bill and/or collaborated on stage together. Still the author does go into detail about what ABB members thought of the Grateful Dead and such. I am not going to review all of this but rather I am sharing the link below so all of you can check it out if you feel like it:

https://deadessays.blogspot.com/2019/01/the-dead-and-allmans.html

For me personally I love the ABB. I saw them twice with their version of the Core Four in the line up: Greg, Dickey, Butch and Jaimoe. I also saw the line up several times that included Warren, Oteil, and Derek. I always had a good time at their shows and I felt they really went after it when they jammed. Interestingly, the last time I saw the ABB was in 2008 when they played in State College, PA. Also on that bill that night was The Dead…

I loved Roguedeadguy’s description of each band; that was spot on. I will say when it comes down to it for me though The Grateful Dead always were able to hit me on an emotional level that ABB couldn’t. As a matter of fact, The Grateful Dead are really the only band that has the ability to take my heart, mind, and soul on journeys. Besides this The Grateful Dead did have many innovative ideas that they pursued which I also think have made them second to none. For the ABB though, that early period of 69-73 is tremendous. I have not heard any shows from 74-76, and I know they started to unravel in those years as band turmoil took over. Yet with the band losing two of it’s main members in succession and still being able to produce great music and jams is quite amazing if you ask me. My only issue with the ABB is that since they did not have the innovations that the Grateful Dead had there is a lack of live material from them. Of course there is a lot from 1971 and that is important as not only did they have both Duane and Berry then but that was a peak year the band as well. However from what I have heard form 72 and 73 those years are pretty good too. Outside of a few radio broadcast bootleg CDs and one release from 72 and two from 73 there is not much material from those years out there.

KF re Lovelight

I still will listen to Lovelight, but my initial reaction is always...uhh.

I listen for the jams

*Re/ 50th Release

...CD back in stock at Dead.net store! Ha that was quick lol 🙏❤️😎

*Re/ Listen’n

... I’m playing ‘ Ladies & Gentlemen’ The Grateful Dead - Fillmore East NY April 1971!
Love this release , CD 1 ‘Good Lovin’ is primo Pigpen version, excelent add lib and the band is on fire! 🙏❤️🤠

50th back in stock

I'd bet a dollar a doughnut (there's a phrase that needs updating, time to raise pinky to lip), but I JUST got confirmation of the cancellation of my mistaken second order. So the "system" worked for me, but maybe this means if you order two of something by mistake (or otherwise), you can cancel your order and it will be returned to the 'general' pool of availability, vs if you offered to the boards first. This would limit a limited thing to maybe(?) a group of people who wait everyday for such a thing. Or not, obviously more 'heads' out there, then there are here and they deserve an equal shot at the returned item.

sorry for the interruption

Why would a sold out aoxo. cd be a positive sign for the Dead and the fans?

Aoxomoxoa

being sold out means that 50 years after its release, this ol' band's material still has legs.

long live the GD!

Sold out.--- CSN

Makes sense. Also, Crosby,stills and nash still sell over a million albums a year. Now that's staying power! P.S not including newer albums.

Holy Cow.. I was exhausted just from the totality of what transpired during my morning bike ride.. Not to mention what happened in the afternoon.

While listening to it.. I wondered... when was the first time they went into The Other One without the Cryptical.. without doing That's It For The Other One? If nobody knows it offhand I might have to figure it out.

Going into The Other One, especially Dark Star > The Other One makes a powerful statement. Powerful indeed.

Cryptical

Driving home from work. Spent the whole day working on a dispute letter, 12 pages, to avoid paying for services I didn't order. These motherfuckers have been chasing me down for 4 years, from one collection agency to the next. Fuck them fuck them fuck them.

Jimbo I'm going to go with the Academy Music run in March of 72. I'm almost positive they didn't play it on any of the other ones there, I know they played it late into December '71on Dave's Picks 22 and 26 right?

And now I'm going back to May 24th 1972, me and my uncle. I need to turn it up to 35 and Listen to Jerry rip the shit out of this solo again. Let's just hope my EZPass works. Shity fucking day.

KF?

"My friends call me Keithfan you can call me John?" What the hell does that mean? Lol. Sounds like Abbott and Costello or something.

Great news-its sold out!

To state the obvious, if you have one this may be good news-if you don't-then maybe less so. Not referring to Aoxomoxoa, specifically-just things in general.

My last two have been 4/17/72 followed by 4/21/72, after a gap of a month from E72 shows. Excellent in every respect-and possibly the best recorded sound of a Stratocaster not being played by Jimi Hendrix. Or Jeff Beck.

Other Ones

Furthering our discussion on this monumentally important topic . . . and kind of related to MD Jim's question . . . are there any instances where they went into TOO cold . . . as in they concluded the prior song, stopped playing, and then "BA-DOO-BA-DOO-BA-DOO-DOO-BA-DOO-BAAAAAAAA" straight into a ripping TOO?

They would do that with Dark Stars, and with the full Cryptical - TOO Suite, I just can't think of one where The Other One didn't spawn from another song.

Anyway I love Other Ones, often times more than Dark Stars. Dark Stars really call for a careful, focused listening which isn't always practical. Other Ones I can just rock out to anytime anywhere.

R.I.P. Roky

Saw that Rocky Erickson of the 13th Floor Elevators died. I always dug the Elevators, served as regular background music during a sustained period of psychedelic wandering.

Aaaahhhh!!!!

Roky!

Thank you for the music, my man.

I know whats on todays playlist.

Roky Erickson

Really sorry to read of the death of Roky Erickson. "Psychedelic Sounds Of.." and "Easter Everywhere" have been on my regular playlist since I first heard them in 1978. The Elevators have gone down in history, with The Dead, a being pioneers of psychedelic rock-but Roky was a great vocalist in his own right, irrespective of the era that has come to define him. But he was also truly mythic. I only saw him once, in 2007. He mainly played songs from his first solo album, "Five Symbols" with only "You're Gonna Miss Me" cropping up from the Elevators song book. But it was a great gig - all the abuse he suffered-but that voice remained-pure as ever.

11/29/80...

... listening to this gem of a show now. Man, I think this would make a great release. Dave, hello? Dave? What about Gainesville? Dave?

Anyone else agree? ;)

Peace

Sorry

But Bruce string bean sucks. Sorry

FLA 1980...

Ya know, scrolling through my Music Bee, looking at these shows, the FLA 80 run (11/26,28,29) are overall really good and unique shows. Would make a cool 3-show box, if the tapes are usable.

If you haven't checked these shows out, they are all strong. Also, electric versions of a lot of the acoustic tunes from Reckoning... electric Deep Elem? Yep, it's awesome. The Sportatorium show has a Cold Rain 2nd set opener, the Lakeland has a Stranger, To Lay Me Down 2nd set opening combo,... and then, there is Gainesville....

Anyway, these are some really great fall of 80 shows, worthy of recognition. Let's just hope the tapes are good. If not, there are good to better than decent AUDs of all 3.

Rock on, and happy weekend, DeadLand!

Peace

Otis, 11-28-80

It’s in the 30 Trips Box

But yeah, what about Gainesville?

Because You Said So

Otis my man! I don't often venture past Dead set and the Grateful Dead go to Nassau... But 1980 is a little bit of a sweet spot so I'm going to check out the Florida shows you recommend, thanks buddy.

Not for the light-hearted, as it is an audience recording, but put on some headphones and don't let anybody interrupt you for a half hour or so, and here's some of that magic similar to the Dick's Picks 16 medley that Jim was talking about yesterday. This is really really really good stuff, it is a tragedy that it's not in the vault. I'm sure this is not news to a lot of you, but I've had the 69/70 bug lately and this one really carried me off. It's definitely one you want to sit down and get in the right mood for if you know what I mean.

I like how you're thinking - maybe come out for the second set to a completely dark stage and then just go wild with those rumbling opening bass notes; then crank on some lights when everybody else jumps in. For the Dark Stars it sounds like you need to be in the right frame of mind eh? I've kind of gotten hooked on them myself. I have a playlist that's all Dark Stars. Then I started integrating '72 / '73 Bird Songs and '73 / '74 China Cat Sun Riders. But there's nothing more satisfying in music these days for me than listening to Jerry noodle through Dark Star at high volume. The louder the better. I guess that goes without saying. You must really love DP 18' s The Other One from Feb '78. I'll bet you have a devastating top 10 list.
