"To my ears, the best Dead shows are those that not only fit the criteria that make them amongst the best of a year, but that are also completely unique for their era—shows that fit perfectly into their year of performance, but also fall somewhat outside of the norm for that year. Harpur College, Veneta, Cornell, Cape Cod, and Augusta are all shows that are objectively excellent, and if they are not the best from their respective years of performance, they are certainly unique. Miami 6/23/74 falls into that category: not only one of the very best shows from this outstanding year, but also one of the most interesting and unique. It’s certainly worthy of many, many deep listens." - David Lemieux

¡Ándale, ándale! ¡Arriba, arriba! We're back with a hot one from Miami, F-L-A. DAVE’S PICKS VOLUME 34 features the complete show from the Jai Alai Fronton, 6/23/74, one with unparalleled sound quality due in equal parts to the Wall Of Sound and the beautiful sonic clarity of Kidd Candelario's tapes. The first set is chock full of dynamite takes on classics like "Ramble On Rose," "Mississippi Half-Step," and "Cumberland Blues." The second set delivers on the JAMS - one leading into a gorgeous "Ship Of Fools," one rare instrumental version of "Dark Star," and a "Spanish Jam," this is Miami after all! The show also offers up a "first" and an "only" - the former, a Seastones set featuring Phil and Ned Lagin and the latter, the sole Grateful Dead performance of Chuck Berry's "Let It Rock."

Limited to 22,000 numbered copies, DAVE’S PICKS VOL.34: JAI ALAI FRONTON, MIAMI, FL 6/23/74 has been mastered from the 7.5 IPS reel-to-reel tapes to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman. ¡Agarrarlo mientras esta calientito! (Get it while it's hot!)

*Limited to 2 per order. Very limited quantity available.

Mham-Man & Jim MD - Other People Doing Drugs

I think the Zap-Man covered this in a song.

And the cocaine decisions that you make today
Will not be discovered till it's over 'n' done
By the customers you hold at bay

BTW Mham-man and shows you've been to.

You asked about remembering see you there. Long Hair...Beard....Jeans.

I saw you there. Would it have hurt to have gotten a hair cut? A beard trim? Did your mother know you went out with holes in those jeans? I bet she would've been proud, huh?

t shirts and 34

Just received the limited edition t shirts for this pick, wow, are they nice, perfect fit and awesome design, hope any and all who wanted one got one cause they are sold out now.
Gave a good listen to this pick yesterday also, nice 74 sound, great recording and love the set list. Love the let it rock on this release, too bad the boys did not play this one again, what a great tune and done very well. This was the first seastones, I bet those people in attendance were like, wtf is that, short but sweet and very experimental. The second set is just great, that jam>ship of fools is to die for and I can't remember another time when they went out of Around and Around into Dark Star, very different. Love the Casey Jones encore. Lots of love for the big river and the other cowboy songs on this release. I have not listened to the bonus yet, but I know it will be hot.

UK customs charge

That's me just had a card through my door demanding £13.52 to arrange delivery of my Dave's Picks, for the second time (out of two) this year. I can see a pattern developing here. It looks like it's no longer going to be affordable for me to subscribe from the U.K. in future. :-(

Hawking product and now plagiarism? 🙄

Sorry I woke up grumpy, I'm a teacher and can sniff out (Google search) copied work like a bloodhound. Unless your name is Doug Collete and you write for Glide, copying and pasting someone else's article into a post without proper citation is not cool. Please dont do this, it is wrong to plagiarize someone else's intellectual property. If you agree with another's sentiments, use it, but put their due credit, especially when its multiple paragraphs. If you are Doug then I'll shut my assumptive mouth, cheers and nice writing.

* RE/ Continue of Dicks Picks #23....

Baltimore Civic Center, Baltimore, MD – 9/17/72’ Dick's Picks #23. As the first set of this September 1972 show in Baltimore closes, notes peal from Jerry Garcia’s guitar while Bill Kreutzmann kicks the band into a gallop, both actions emblematic of the surety permeating the playing of the Grateful Dead captured on Dick’s Picks Vol. 23, To say the band sounds inspired is to understate the precision and passion with which they play on this recording of Owsley “Bear” Stanley.

Little wonder the group next launches into a near twenty-minute exploration of “Playing in the Band.” and makes it sound succinct. With a collective confidence rooted in their innate sense of improvisation, the Dead performed like they could do no wrong at this point in their career and rightly so: having returned earlier in this same year from a conquest of Europe, their first visit to the continent, the group had every reason to feel sure of themselves. For one thing they possessed a wealth of new material to choose from, some of which Garcia/Hunter pieces, like “Mississippi Half Step Uptown Toodleloo,” wouldn’t be recorded till the next year. That tune is, nevertheless, as much of a piece with originals like “Jack Straw” as covers such as “Big River” and “Me & My Uncle.”

As with their grasp of composition, The Grateful Dead had elevated the sophistication in their musicianship too by teaching themselves to carefully navigate that ever so fine line between structure and spontaneity. That balanced approach lent itself to memorable jamming, as in the segue from “China Cat Sunflower” into “I Know You Rider,” but numbers such as “Tennesee Jed,” which didn’t accommodate much stretching, still helped maintained the necessary overall discipline

But that’s not to say the inclination to take chances had disappeared. During the segues near show’s end that envelope “The Other One” and “He’s Gone,” the Dead performed with a purpose and this focused approach manifest itself on “Casey Jones,” as well as the colorful highlights Keith Godchaux supplied, equally on electric and acoustic piano. Slightly over twelve minutes, this robust version of “Truckin'” might well serve as a microcosm of the elevated level of the group’s chops this autumn in the early 1970’s.
Dicks Picks #23 ( 3-CD package)reaffirm the impact of its music, rendering the Grateful Dead’s progression through their thirty-year career sound all the more wondrous.

Have a grateful Day Everyone! ✌️, More Grateful Dead Please...

Three In A Row

Interesting question about a favorite 3 DaP in a row sequence, kind of tough because some of my favorite individual releases aren't part of a favorite 3 sequence. Here's a couple runs that seem like contenders to me:
28, 29, 30 - 6/17/76, 2/29/77, 1/2/70
16, 17, 18 - 3/28/73, 7/19/74, 7/17/76

USPS keeping me informed!
Having finally(?) left LA on 20th and then Salt Lake City on 21st I’m now told it left Detroit on 26th. Still moving east and it might get out of the US in the next month or two. Does the Pony Express still deliver?

Ha..

I think you meant to say, "The Things I blame on Other People Doing Drugs"

The Second Flintstones movie. So funny.

Things I Blame On Drugs? Waking up that day, large, strange hematomas on strange parts of my body.. brand new frisbee, less than 24 hours old, lost. Looking forward to that first cup of coffee only for my old, dear friend from high school waking me up with the seemingly rude reminder.. "oh, so you don't remember what happened last night at all, do you?"

Yea.. that. coincidentally, the last time Me & Mr. Lemmon 714 ever hung out and not so coincidentally, the last time I ever saw my favorite frisbee. That was a very long time ago ..but I digress.

that... and that Flintstone's movie for sure.

Back to your regularly scheduled drums and space.

Don't be embarrassed by your top five. Mine suck too, compared to the glory days. But, they were far better than anything else out there at the time. More importantly, they got you where you are today.

Top 5 Shows Attended

As a guy who even missed the Touch of Grey era, my list is a little embarrassing compared to the others. But even coming along as late as I did, I always felt very fortunate to have seen them on a handful of nights where they really seemed to catch lighting in a bottle. I also got to see Jerry's triumphant return (part 2) in Denver and the last 3 Shoreline shows and others...but musically these five were the magical ones.

8/16/91 Shoreline (1st set Dark Star at my first show)
10/31/91 Oakland Coliseum (Dark Star & Ken Kesey tribute to Bill Graham)
6/25/92 Soldier Field, Chicago, IL (Schoolgirl & much of 2nd set with Steve Miller & James Cotton)
5/26/93 Cal Expo, Sacramento, CA (Road Trips Vol.2, #4)
5/27/93 Cal Expo, Sacramento, CA (Road Trips Vol.2, #4)

NOVEMBERELEVEN/ 8/16/91 Shoreline

I was at this show, the Dark Star/Promised Land is one of my favorite Grateful Dead moments. This show was a rocker and could easily be a Dave's Pick.

Gerhard

no show yet. Still waiting.
I've been to my favoured biergarten this afternoon in H. near FO and I've just returned home.
No information and no disc in the mailbox.
Got me some Hebendanz Anna Fest Bier. Might be helpful for the waiting time.
Enjoy

*RE/ NEW Grateful Dead

But much love they’re guys have with the dead. I wish’s j could post photos!as well he is!

Wow!! See what happens when you have fat fingers?? I was trying to type in DEADVIKES, and missed it.
Yes, I did mean Dick’s Picks. There are no Dave’s available.
LoveMyGirl—I want to get excited about what you have to announce, but there’s a level of incoherence that prevents me from getting excited.
I am excited about Workingman’s Dead 50th, as well as Dave’s 35. I’m hoping for a good, Covid free summer.
Be safe all!!

Love My Girl.....

I think It's Obvious that we expect news shortly seeing that we are one month away from the next Dave's Picks release and tis the season for a fall box release and the announcement usually comes at this time of year. I have to agree with MR ONES about your "your level of Incoherence that prevents me from getting excited"

NOVEMBERELEVEN/ 8/16/91 Shoreline

Billy, I didn't have anything to compare it too, but I can confirm the folks on the lawn went ape shit! The Jack Straw -> Bertha opener was also great (sans the Phil loose string sounding bass) and the Scarlet -> Victim -> Fire was quite nice as well.

The longtime Head who sort of hosted a bunch of us at the show had moved from Colorado a decade earlier, basically to see the Dead more often. Around 93 or 94 I asked him for some of his favorite attended shows (he'd seen a few hundred), so I might repay his kindness with some tapes. He said my first two of 8/16/91 and 10/31/91 were as good as any he'd seen. Whether he was just being lazy, nice or couldn't remember at the time, I still considered it lucky to have jumped in with those two shows. Hell, 2 Dark Stars if nothing else....

Top five attended....neat!

Sorry gratefulgerd,

sure you will get your copy soon, usually I'm one of the last.

Everybody enjoy the summer and the sun and the upcoming releases ...

Maybe today?!?!?

RSD and the next big thing

I have just had a check, and notice that 5/9/77 on vinyl will finally be released on 24th October. Wonder what the world will look like then? If you go back 4 months, both coronavirus and Black Lives Matter were off most people's radar. Then...boom! Hopefully we will all still be around in 4 months to see what happens next.

Upcoming releases

I don’t have a crystal ball and I don’t know anyone with inside information so I will wait and see what appears. However, amazon.com ( not .co.uk) shows that cd versions of ‘The Grateful Dead’ and ‘Anthem of the Sun (1971 remix) will be issued on 28th August and, as mentioned by LMG, a vinyl version of ’Skeletons ...’ will be issued on 4th September, all by Grateful Dead Records. Amazon do not give any further details so I’m unaware of the track listings and don’t know if they include any extras.
I can't imagine needing any of these reissues and wonder why the first two albums are being issued again so soon after the 50th anniversary discs.
Looking forward to DaP #35 but I hope everyone will have got #34 soon.

Jerry Garcia interview 4/8/67

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FMj8LCgcS2c

UK Album chart...

For those of us that actually give a shit about charts, this week's UK album chart has Bob Dylan at #1 with "Rough and Rowdy Ways" and Neil Young at #2 with "Homegrown". His bobness, at 79, is the oldest artist to reach #1 with an album of new material. Even if you don't give a shit about charts, it is somewhat surprising to see these two topping the charts in 2020.

Dylan and Young

I don't want to take anything away from the absolute greatness that is Bob Dylan, and to a lesser extent Neil Young, but I think it also speaks to the dearth of good new popular music out there. Yes, there are great up and coming rock and roll bands and yes there is phenomenal music being created today, but you have to work much harder to find it these days. I'm sure it has a lot to do with how technology has changed and the music business in general, but despite all that, where are all the can't miss bands putting out great new music that isn't overly derivative?

Hits and misses

Is this the first time Bob Dylan has had a number one album in the UK, I wondered ? I don't know, but I would think that his last three or four self penned albums were more likely to have hit the coveted spot than any of his 60s albums.

Going back to upcoming releases, there was also 8/21/68 that was due to come out earlier this year, with a free comic thrown in. Seems to have got lost in the rush, that one.

New Material...

...the Neil Young Homegrown album is material recorded between 1974 and 1975, not exactly new unless you are working off a really long time frame.

Kicking it with 7/8/78 R.R.. especially the Estimated >the other one >Eyes. I did not forget the potent 78' arrowhead show for all you fans. It just never get old.

GERHARD, that's funny. I was…

GERHARD, that's funny. I was also having a few beers in the city of ER yesterday. And finally, today was the day I could pick up my DaP 34 (shipping notice said 04/30). Still no sign of the "June 1976" box set (shipping notice 04/08). I am sure the good people from customer service will sort that out, too. But to be honest, this whole waiting game has become just too much for me. I don't think I'll order from dead.net anymore. Of course I'm aware of the current situation all around the world. And I'm truly blessed because Covid-19 has not hit my family and I don't have to worry about losing my job. However, shipping times have grown longer and longer, extra costs have to be paid (today it was 11,20 €, I have no idea why - never had to pay tax for a Dave's Picks, just for the bigger box sets).
Anyway, it's the weekend and I'm sure I'll enjoy Jai-Alai Fronton. Also looking forward to GarciaLive 14 - made me listen to that old "Pure Jerry" single CD release on my way to work this morning, what a sweet duo show that is. Couldn't get hold of GarciaLive 13 but they usually hit the record shops here in Germany sooner or later. And then there's that complete 1971 show coming with WD 50th. Lovely releases ahead.

Fav Five Concerts

OK, I'm a little late to this party, but I could not resist. So I thought about the shows which first got me on the bus. There are plenty of other great shows I saw in many great locations, which made them memorable, also: Frost, the Greek, Cal Expo, Red Rocks, but here goes:

12/31/71 Winterland - My first show

8/24/72 Berkeley Community Theater - tripping at the back of the floor, Dark Star>Morning Dew, that did it I was on the bus

2/24/74 Winterland - the wall of sound in all it's glory

12/31/77 Winterland

10/31/83 Marin Civic Auditorium - We had great seats 10 rows center from the stage, great show

So many shows.....

Nite Cat/ 5 shows

My brother went to the first three shows you listed and I went the last two.

*RE/ Daverock & 1968!

Hey David, 1968 will be released 7/31
The printing company closed shop over four , five months ago due to virus. Yes, the printing company was the first Party to take a step back and cause delays in the final release date.
Printing is complete and absolutely beautiful!! Records have been pressed and labeled! Get ready to party with the greatest juvenile delinquents on the western! hemisphere, the Grateful Dead! 🙏❤️💀🌹
Have a grateful day everyone, peace be with you all my Brothers and sisters!
*** I never talk about the Garcia releases because that’s not my department but I had to say , Garcia 14 acoustic release! 1986, and it’s a home run! Primo!
...Also I’m not surprised Dylan is number 1 &. Neil Young is 2! They Have both played rock ‘n’ roll on the moon an other outer space mission’s! Lol

Origins...

Not going to fall into that marketing trap. $100 for a book I don't need that has 38 minutes of an unreleased live show thrown in to help to sell it. By the time international shipping, import duty and sales tax have all been added it would cost me around $150 and I'm just not prepared to pay that much for so little. Sorry but I'm not in on this one. Frankly I would rather they concentrated on getting the music to us rather than trying to separate us from our money with unnecessary and overpriced merchandise. Workingman's dog coat anyone?

Dogon & Mosaic Records

Curse you Dogon! You had to show me the world of Mosaic Records! Damn, Damn, Damn!

I'm a recovering limited box set collector and you hook me up with the Scarface of Box pushers!?!

Lots of nice boxes there, thanks for the name. Have a shortcut on desktop now to the website. Have to head out now. Luckily its the end of the month and the old folks will be getting the social security checks in the mail. Should be able to order some of these boxes soon!

Ha..

The Scarface of all box pushers. I might have to check that out myself.

I have the Complete Recordings of T. Bone Walker from 1940 to 1954 on Mosaic, came out in 1990. They don't carry it at Mosaic anymore, but you can still get it on the secondary market at a reasonable price, CD or lp. It's a knockout!

Billy the Kid & T-Bone

I have the complete Imperial Recordings 50-54.

Too much stuff

I hear ya Simon Rob. I’m only getting it cause the Mrs is a book junkie and went ahead and just ordered it. I’m sure I’ll enjoy it once or twice, but not really a comix guy. I’m with you, just release the music, like the whole dam vault ala carte already. Yes some recordings will sound lesser than others but so what, that’s called choice....remember when Mickey was talking about that along with the Terrapin museum etc, something about we hope to have it so you could put your order in upon arrival and we’ll have it ready before you leave.

EDIT: sorry Dennis, lol, your probably like the misses “there’s no such thing as too much” for her with books and you with box sets etc 😉

No man is rich enough to buy back his past

You know where to find me...……………

Origins...

LMG - thanks for the heads up, I'll keep my eyes peeled.

Simon....I wouldn't buy it off Deadnet, for all the reasons you mention. I was under the impression it would be available from Amazon UK-which might not be much better for you. I have just had a look, and it does seem a bit pricey even there-over £30. 00. Prices on Amazon are up and down more than I am...so I am going to keep a look out and see if it drops a bit in price before splashing out.

I am much more selective, generally, about buying Dead stuff than I was 10-or even 5 years ago. I have noticed I am more attracted to an expensive show on vinyl than a box set on cds from one of the years I am not so keen on. I no longer buy everything without thinking. That's just the music-I have never gone over board on the tee shirts etc-attractive though they look.

Billy the kid - Same shows

Billy I have a feeling you and I were at the same shows many times over the years in the bay area.

Someone mentioned the 12-12 -80 Swing show right after Lennon was killed, I was there and you could hear a pin drop during "he's gone", it was an incredibly moving performance.

I have to add 10/14/80 Warfield theater to my list, unforgetable for the champagne toast from the entire audience to the band when they returned for their encore.

God those were the days.

Origins

The version advertised on amazon.co.uk is the paperback version which doesn’t include the LP. When it was first announced in April 2019 the Relix magazine website said that the paperback would come with a download code for some early GD music, however looking at the Z2 comics website now there is no mention of any download code. I wonder if the paperback still includes any music? The hardback is limited to 6800 copies but even after more than a year it hasn’t sold out. I won’t be buying it.

1984 to 1968

Ive been in a GD 80s groove recently

Decided to check out 9 2 68 today

It's all GD...quite a contrast

July 10th approaches, good people. 2 21 71!

Second box will announced close to Christmas I predict

Mid October?
