    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*.

    The bank that Rip broke into looked a lot like a regular house.

    Re: RIP Rip

    Damn, hadn't heard that til I saw Carlo's post. Guy was hilarious on the Larry Sanders Show. Another reason he's a legend is a drunken binge he went on several years ago had him outdoing Lee Marvin. Marvin was a notorious drunk, and one night, plastered, as usual, he drove himself home and found his keys wouldn't open the door, so he broke in, only to find out he had moved several years before, and the current owner was pretty pissed. Well, how does Rip top that? By doing the same thing, only he had stopped at a bank, and broken into the bank in the middle of the night thinking it was his house. Also, he was armed at the time, because, of course he was. How he got just probation is a sad tale for the American legal system, but I hope the old Salty Dog rests in peace.

    https://youtu.be/4uWXcuu5MY0

    Also, my favorite Artie line from Larry Sanders may be from what became the first episode, The Garden Weasel when he says to a new female network executive, "Don't take this as a threat, but I killed a man like you in Korea. Hand to hand."

    Tales from The Gorge, Part 2: Shakedown

    As mentioned in Part 1 of the story, BIL (Brother In Law), and I had just gotten off the bus which had dropped us off all the way at the back of the lot. This was approximately ¼ - ½ mile from the entrance to the venue, which wasn’t so bad except for we were carrying a 12 pack (minus the 2 beers we drank on the bus) in a large bucket filled with ice. The lot looked to be almost completely full at this point with more cars cramming in. The atmosphere reminded me a lot of the tailgates we have here in KC at Arrowhead, except for folks were decked out in Dead gear, Tie Dye, and other various costumes & hippie wear. We trudged along, checking out the scene while I tried to call a friend of mine named Chuck who I had met the past year on Dead.net. Chuck is a KC native who has spent the last few decades living in the Seattle area and started sporadically touring with the band last year. Chuck and his crew of 7 tour buds were camping in the main public camping area at the Gorge which was visible to BIL and I from where we stood, but way up on a hill and very far away. I’m not sure how far it was, but it looked like a mile or more, up-hill, and with the heavy bucket weighing us down, we didn’t think it was worth the walk as by the time we got up there and found Chuck , we would have to start walking back or risk not getting into the show on time, which would have been entirely unacceptable. So, we opted not to take this particular trip. This turned out to be a catch 22 as we later found out that the camping area is where Shakedown was located at The Gorge which would mean no Shakedown for us this weekend, and also the logistics made it so I wasn’t ever able to meet up with Chuck  (next time my friend)……..but we ended up being correct about getting into the show on time, as many folks were still in line and missed some of the first set even after arriving at the entrance at least an hour before start time.

    When we arrive near the entrance, the place was a zoo. There were long lines already formed at will call and at the VIP/media entrance. We already had our tickets so this was not a problem for us. We did not have VIP entrance passes or wristbands for the VIP drink area inside, and being that Shakedown was no where in site, we decided to post up and take a seat on these large boulders that separate the parking from the entrance to the venue. As it turns out, this was a very fortuitous decision. There was already an old Deadhead biker dude who had done the same, so we cracked some beers and started shooting the shit with him. Turns out he was at Woodstock and saw the entire show including the Dead and the closing Jimmy Hendrix act. Wow, this was the first person I had ever met who could make this claim! About this time, another dude came around selling Stealie stickers for $1, so we checked those out, but nah we don’t want one, and as the dude walked off I said….”hold on a second wait! Would you be interested in trading one of your stickers for one of my buttons?” After checking out the buttons he was quick to agree, and so my button adventure had officially begun!!! I turned to Woodstock biker guy and said would you like one too? “Yeah, I’ll take one” he said with a big smile, and pinned it to his jacket. Holy shit….that was cool! I felt really good at that moment and started looking for others whom I could give away a button!

    As the song says, Once in a while you can get shown the light….and while the reason that I came was most certainly the music, followed by the communion with 20,000+ like-minded folks & freaks, giving away the buttons was without question my strangest of places if you look at it right. I made a few trades with them; a little bar of homemade soap shaped like a dancing bear, and a couple of stickers, but mostly I just gave them away. I only had 100 per night, so I was somewhat selective in who I gave them to. I chose people who had on Grate outfits, really cool Tie Dyes, or who showed a lot of spirit through good dancing, good deeds or just general happy nature and good vibe that I could feel. This was so much fun, and felt so good, I can’t even begin to describe it. Tears me up a little right now just thinking back to some of the moments. The smiles after giving these buttons were big, full and truly grateful for such a tiny trinket. I can’t tell you the number of people that would hold it up to their hearts, smile huge and then look me in the eye and thank me with all sincerity, after which some of them would give me a big hug like we were long lost friends or family and had known each other for years. Word was getting out a little, and some folks were starting to come up to me and either offer me trades and or ask outright if they could have a button. I didn’t once turn anyone down who asked for either. One filthy looking hippie dude came up to me and asked me if I would like to trade him for a used tube of CBD infused chap-stick, and I answered yes after hearing the word trade! “What, wait hold on a second…..no way man, I said laughing, after realizing what I had just agreed to. Keep your chap-stick and just take a button for free dude”! He then took the button, smiled that big smile I was getting used to, then like a true head, dead pan asked, “Do you want to hit my joint”?, as he held up a half-smoked fired up spliff. “Fuck yeah”, I say, taking the joint for a couple of puffs while we all laugh our asses off at the hilarity of the moment. Only at a Dead show, ha, ha….laughing now just thinking about it!

    Much has already been said about the line at The Gorge, and I have to agree the situation at the gate was in true Dead fashion, a complete clusterfuck. As early as 3 hours before (but probably significantly longer), the official start time of the show, we noticed that lines to the normal entrance were already started to form. We were not far from the entrance sitting on our boulders and it just so happened that the line formed almost directly into our spot, so without even having to move from our little party spot, we found ourselves already in line and maybe only a half of a city block from the entrance. Aside from tiny movements in the line we basically were able to stay in this spot until they started letting people in, which was maybe 1.5 hours before show time. BIL and I made friends with some of the folks around us in line, drank on our IPA’s, smoked a few joints along with our oil pipes, and I gave away buttons. Before we knew it, the line started to slowly move forward, and our party moved with it.

    As we inched our way slowly toward the entrance, I started to get the munchies, so I figured now was just as good time as any to have the first serving of veggies. I pulled out the Wild Willie’s Reserve Joint tube where I had stored them and split them up equal, 2 parts for me and 1 part for BIL. I ate mine and then handed BIL his share which he happily gobbled down. I had asked some folks in line earlier about security, and specifically marijuana being that it is legal in Washington. Due to legality, no one seemed to think it would be an issue and so I took no security precautions whatsoever as we approached security, and left all of my pre-rolled joints (3 or 4 left at this point) in the plastic tubes that they came in. Boy were they wrong, and was I stupid!!! We were getting really close now and I still had a few unopened beers in the bucket (BIL is not much of a beer drinker). I gave away a couple of “miracle” beers, popped a top and guzzled one myself, paying little attention to what was going on in front of me at security. When we finally got to the metal detectors, my idiot plan was just to openly put all of my shit into the tubs they offer to pass around the metal detectors and so that’s exactly what I did. My lighter, plastic tubes full of pre-rolled joints, tube of veggies, wallet, phone, basically everything went into that fucking plastic tub. The next thing I know the dude is rifling through my shit in the plastic tub while stating “you can’t take this in”. One by one he reads each tube and says sorry this isn’t allowed, and then he yells “BLACK BAG, BLACK BAG”…..this chick then walks up with an already full trash bag and the dude drops all of my shit while she calmly smiles at me….”No, you can’t…..but that’s my….” I start to say, but it was too late. FUCK, FUCK, FUCK!
    BIL has a similar experience, as did a lot of other folks in line. They were going through everything; blankets, bags, jackets etc….even dumping out full boxes of cigarettes to find the hidden joints inside. The one thing they were not doing is full pat downs, so everything left in the pockets was fine. Luckily, I had forgotten to put my oil pen in the plastic tub and BIL had purposefully omitted his so those got through. Since the tube with the last helping of veggies was not sealed, the guy slid the tube open, I guess he must of looked at the empty side or just didn’t notice because he politely handed that tube back to me. Tragedy narrowly averted there.

    Now being robbed of our goods we regrouped, quickly took inventory of what we had left which was very little and congratulated each other on not being arrested. As my good friend Jeff would say who designed the buttons, Onward!!!

    Morning Dew sounds great so far. Going to spin side 1, then go outside for a while with the dog. Once the sun has set I’ll be back on the couch to spin the rest of the show and watch TDF on mute.

    Let’s stick with the 80’s as the third release and go with 3-9-81. We know there are good sounding recordings of that show.

With Real Gone Music re-releasing the Road Trips series, after already re-releasing the Dick's Picks series, I wonder if they might re-release that Winterland 1977 box, maybe an all music edition with generic packaging. I don't recall that release being limited edition, so it seems like there shouldn't be anything to stop them. Sure would be cool if they did.

Nappyrags, thanks for the info about Gus. I had no idea. In my youth I saw it as not a very serious song, I don't know why.

On another note, I just came back from seeing "Echo in the Canyon" a great music film about the musical explosion of 60's southern cali bands all living in Laurel Canyon. Highly recommend.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/30/movies/echo-in-the-canyon-review.html

Speaking of Real Gone.. it got me to revisit Road Trips 3.3 (just finished this morning). I had forgotten the end of that release including the bonus disc.. I completely overlooked the jam out of New Speedway Boogie that becomes a fully formed Nobody's Fault But Mine jam. Spectacular.. not sure how I overlooked this gem of a jam.

So glad this is being re-released.. if you don't have it.. this might be the last chance you have to get it at a reasonable price. It suffers a bit from the early show / late show shuffle, but it's classic nonetheless.

onward.. back to your regularly scheduled St. Stephen > The Eleven. Have a great weekend all.

JiminMD, I ordered that Real Gone reissue of the 5/15/70 Road Trips and it was supposed to be released on 6/14, however, the Real Gone site indicates that there was a manufacturing issue that delayed the release. I checked because my amazon order had a delivery date between August 1-September 18 and I was like, whaaaat...? Oh, well, no rush, rather get it a little late and have it right the first time instead of get a defective copy and wait for replacement. Just a heads up for anyone who ordered this and is still expecting to receive it in the near future.

Thanks for the heads up on the delay. I did order a spare.. my copy is showing signs of wear, I hate those Road Trip scratchy cardboard sleeves and I would hate to have to one day replace mine at secondary market prices. I'm a little down they don't come with the bonus discs. Oh well.. no bother.

and hell yes, crank out another few thousand Winterland 77's while you are at it. Too good not to have and too good not to have at the original release price.

oh, and check your pm.

....I'm Only The Piano Player.
Album covers I recall when I was a kid. My babysitter had this record.
Decades later, I understand.
Bear with me family.

I ordered the Fillmore 70 RT, and I got a message saying things got gummed up at the works (Warner Bros, I think...)
The overall message, as far as I can tell, is that we will be getting our orders as soon as they can stop being such mooks.

Road Trips 1.2 is still here on this site... and I got the bonus disc, and I just ordered it two weeks ago when (INSERT YOUR NAME) mentioned it! (Thank YOU by the way!!!) It is a fantastic release, if you like 77 Dead.

Peace

Listening to a fantastic aud. of 4-27-91 right now and it showcases the magic that can take place in the desert. Good grief, the second set is fantastic. ( I don't have the first set)
The sound for an audience source is crazy good...especially with the Sennheiser's turned up to eleven.
This one should be a candidate for The Normanizing and Dave's treatment...and I haven't even heard the first set...yet.
and if there's filler or a bonus disc...Bird Song from the next night is with Santana and it's one of the best you've probably never heard...but you NEED to...
Vegas day for me. I got copies of 5-30-92, 4-27/28-91.
:O)

I was reading an article on bluegrass music in the paper this morning, and got to thinking how little of this music I have actually heard. And that I never even got to hear the Old and in the Way album that came out in the 70s. So I had a look on Amazon to see what's available...and there seems to be quite a lot. The best one is probably the box set which features the both sets from 10/1/73 and 10/8/73...but that seems a bit much for me at this stage. So I have been looking at single sets that don't duplicate this material, but which are well thought of. Being in England, there are quite a few FM recordings out there. Two that have caught my eye are ones called "Breakdown" in the Acoustic Archive Series-although it doesn't say when it was recorded...or Live at the Boarding House 4/16/73.

Any recommendations would be welcome...if not, I will probably plump for a second hand copy of one of the above.
Cheers!

Yes, yes, and yes. Check out Bill Strings...right now. Seriously stop what you are doing, take a half hour and watch these right now. I still dont know how to embed videos after all these years. The last one is a video of him playing in a local music shop with his father. You can see this is some genuine shit right here. All 4 are amazing. Honestly this is the type of stuff that keeps coming out that makes everyone whose ever said theres no good new music from younger generations eat their foot. 😁😆

I saw Billy Strings for the first time a little over a month ago.. what a talent and so energetic. Check out Tommy Emanuel too.. Amazing on the acoustic guitar.

As for Old and in the Way.. if you just want to dip your big toe in, I would start with their original LP. As an added bonus, it's got the best artwork of the bunch.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_%26_In_the_Way_(album)

Speaking of great Road Trips.. today is the 45th anniversary of one part I of the Wall of Sound Road Trips (Road Trips vol 2.3).

Too bad they chop jobbed it, both shows should have been released in their entirety.. ah, Summer of '74. Comfort food for the mind. I know what I am listening to today.

Great article. Thanks for posting the link.

This and the King Weir articles were two great reads. Regular folks, for the most part, just trying to take the edge off. Until everying spirals out if control.

Happy Fathers Day to all.

And it is not a job. I just spent two days sitting in the rain at an out of town soccer tournament. I hate soccer, but she loves it. Watched my daughter not give her best effort and they lost in the finals. Disappointed, yes. But, she had a blast.

I would not trade it for anything.

Hey Daverock
The Old and in the Way set with both complete shows that you mention is the one to get. The other 3 legitimate releases, including the original 1973 album, are all taken from these two shows. Also worth checking out is the new Good Ol Boys release from 1975, also featuring Jerry. Enjoy!

Gotta second the last comment. Billy Strings is wonderful, but get some Old and in the Way. Quintessential, must have Bluegrass. The second most influential Bluegrass Band, Bill Monroe being the King. Love the Hobo Song. It sort of speaks to me.

That High and Lonesome Sound.

There are many greats, but check this guy out.. if you have never heard of him.

Bluegrass, not so sure,, folk, I don't know.. The first time I saw him the words that come to my mind were The Hendrix of Acoustic Guitarists.

Eesshh, that was ridiculous.......like ten pages!

DAVEROCK; Old and In the Way is quintessential and one of the greatest and most influential Bluegrass albums of all time! And to think it was a bit of a lark for Jerry...
That Billy Strings is awesome, thanks to whoever turned us on to that, going to need to check more of that out...

JIMMD; yea that Emmanuel dude is amazing! My BFF turned me on when I was back home this spring. Though his playing is amazing, seems sort of a novelty., like not sure how much I could take in one sitting, but that doesn’t diminish my appreciation for his obvious huge talent....

WEED $; Colorado has taken in over a Billion! in tax revenue in the five years since legal Rec weed came on board....I think a Trump will use this issue to push himself over the top next election i.e., national legalization.....

6/15/85; spun this one up this Saturday......slightly disappointing from what I remember....decent show but definetly some slop, rebounded with 30 trips 69, 2/22? I believe it is? Real burner eh!

6/16/90; did this one on Sunday. Was at this show, out of retirement with my old buddy L. Estee, one of the last shows we hung out, and we had a great time. Recall it being a somewhat trippy show.....very West Coast inward energy versus that balls to the walls east coast energy....forgot about that sweet pre-drums jam etc...also neat song list.
God that whole trip was awesome. First time to the promised land; 3 x at the Ex, 2 JGB at the Warfield, and hanging with old Estee for 3 at the Heep! CALIFORNIA, knock, knocking on the Golden door!

The Persecution & Restoration of Dean Moriarty (On the Road)

Well I can’t understand what is wrong with the man
Don’t he know how he’s acting is long ago banned
Don’t you think it’s a shame, someone tell me his name
If we let him continue things may get out of hand…

Look at him laughing and carrying on
Like a hydrogen manic or an organic bomb
He’s alive like a child, so terribly wild
He has way too much freedom so of course he is wrong, he’s wrong yeah

He was born on the road in the month of July
And he’ll live on the road ‘til he sees fit to die
‘Cause he learned from the road how humanity cries,
How society lies, he sees with more than his eyes

Look at him running don’t he know how to walk
He’s just too damned cunning you can tell by his talk
You can tell he is rude, like a typical dude
If you want my opinion he belongs under lock…

One look in his eyes and you know he’s unsound
There’s no way to faze him he’s nobody’s clown
He’s as deep as the sea and he’s equally free
That’s why I fear him and hate him and wish he were down, was down yeah

Whether riding the rails out of Denver
Or bumming his friends’ cigarettes
He’s asking them all to remember
Making sure that they’ll never forget

So you’re curious ‘bout this man who I speak
‘Cause he tears you and scares you out of your sleep
I am sure that you’ll find, if you open your mind
That it’s you and not he who is really the freak…

So relax for a moment as you would for your hobby
His beauty abounds in his mind and his body
He’s like the setting sun’s hues, or the dust on his shoes
He’s living he’s naughty, he’s Dean Moriarty, yeah

Whether riding the rails out of Denver
Or bumming his friends’ cigarettes
He’s asking them all to remember
Making sure that they’ll never forget

....WOW. That article was fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing. What amazing perspectives from people who've obviously walked that fine line and somehow made it out the other side. Truly inspiring. And scary. And heartbreaking. But mostly left me with a feeling of gratitude, positivity, and hope.

Thanks again.
Sixtus

The Deluxe Expanded edition of Capt. Fantastic is well worth owning. Not only do you get the entire original album, along with the bonus tracks of Phila. Freedom, Lucy in the Sky, One Day at a Time & House of Cards, but also a recording of the band playing the album live in its entirety and closing out with Pinball Wizard and Saturday Night's Alright. These days people mostly think of all the cheezoid stuff Elton did later, but he really rocked in this era.

I'm not one of those people Mr. Heartbreak. So many good songs.
If there was box set news I wouldn't be here.
The 70's. 👍

I think you could by-pass the whole capthcha bull by not signing out. I leave the site without signing out and I never have to do all that baloney. Just keep the site live by changing Web pages at the top of the heading. It works for me.

I stay signed in for the reason you give, but I seem to have to go through the captcha routine if I go a day without posting a comment - so take this as today's post !

Another odd thing that happens when I look on the board, is that if I go into any of the other headings already being signed in-how to put this...If I was to go now into one of the headline categories-"Store" for example, I seem to get signed out automatically. This doesn't normally bother me, as I tend not to buy from the Store...but I am wondering why this happens, and if I will be able to buy from the store when the time comes - with the new box announcement, for example. There will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth if I can't .

Thanks for the advice! I do what you suggest but once in a while I get logged out. I think this time was exactly what Daverock said, I checked out the store. It’s been sorta quiet here, like when theires a new thread, so I thought “hmm, maybe I should see if something new is going on” but nope, nothing new and no box 😩
This time the captcha was way worse than ever before, completely ridiculous! Multiple screens with reoccurring pictures popping up. If I had to do that everyday I would not participate even though this is about all the community I have these days.....
But thank you gentlemen for your kind advice!

I just listened to a really good sound board of this 12/18/73 show. Whoa. I don't think I've ever questioned one of Dick's picks, but I do wonder why he chose the 19th over the 18th. I guess I need to go back to DP Vol. 1 and hear what I'm forgetting. I know he regards the opening Hear Comes Sunshine as the GOAT / BOAT. I reckon he wanted to get that out there. But the way they were hacking up shows in those days, why not go 3 disc on that puppy and include WRS, Dark Star, EOTW, Wharf Rat, Sugar Mags, and UJB?

Hi Oroborous, you are right, it has been light here the last few days. Maybe a bit of box anticipation fatigue. I know I have it. We have waited to long since our last box announcement over a year ago.

Took out Dave's 4 last night in the basement wired stereo system. The sound quality on this 76 show is so damn good, with the exception of some weird distortion during Sugaree. You can really where the drums and Phil's base. Good job on this one for Healy. Not sure why this one sounds better than Dave's 18, which is a great show, but from my ears the sound quality doesn't even come close to Dave's 4 or Dave's 28.

Any Dave's 31 predictions yet? I have my money on a 1979 or 1980 show.

12/19/73 has its own charms

but 12/18/73 would have been just a _liiiiiittle_ better.

GET RID OF THAT CAPTCHA CRAP, WILL YA?

Agree with the author's view of the Summer of '85 tour. It's like someone is scanning this forum for article ideas..

Good to see they didn't call out VGuy and Keithfan for swinging from the balcony.
