    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*.

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

    Too funny! When I was a kid (this was probably very early seventies) my pops used to give me 2 dollars to ride up the street to the neighborhood convenience store and get him a pack of smokes and a sixer of that fine French beer “Jzobel” lol....I can still see the pyramid stack in the back of the store with the sickly green cans and they’d have these big Shazam burst stickers with 99c.....not even worth space in the cooler! Lol
    So 2 bucks for beer, smokes and a whole bunch left over for baseball/football cards (my reward!) must of been quite the sight riding home on my bike with all that in the front basket! But it was different then and still a “neighborhood” and the owner knew us etc......

    Plagent redo of FW box, boo yah count me in!

    Even though one show is a Dick’s Pick and 2 others were packaged as a Road Trips (🙄😒) I still think MSG 1990 would be a doozy of a box.

    As far as Dave’s 31, 79-81 seems logical. I wouldn’t mind a 91 show, 4-1 with filler from 3-31 would be mighty nice. Although the Samson and eyes from 3-31 were filler on a DP. Does that make it not possible or less possible? Probably. Who knows, bring it on!

    Good call. Get it all Plangentized and backed up digitally in multiple geographic locations.
    After all of FW 69 is out on vinyl can we expect a digital rerelease of the Box in Plangentized and remastered form?

    Stroahs, contraband, and lampshades, oh my!

    Stroahs, uuuuuuuuhhhh, sounds like a headache! Don’t think we ever purposely drank that swill even in the young, dumb, poor, most ounces for the dollar days of no micro brew, even if we could find any, we probably couldn’t afford it, or at least wouldn’t “waste” that much money lol.
    They used to send me into the store (bunch of wusses) at ten to 3, couldn’t by beer after three and the parties then usually went on until mid morning, so we’d make a beer run to stock up, so we’d all be trippin and I’d be the one elected to go in cause I could still figure out “most once’s for the dollar” in a reasonable amount of time, and composure, that wouldn’t freak out the old lady, Fran I think her name was, into calling the fuzz etc, in fact over the years we sorta got to know each other as, ahem, we were very regular late night customers, and don’t think anyone back then would of been sporting extra electric tie dye whilst beaming the “I have enough energy to light up N.Y.C.” Cheshire Cat grin/pupils etc....but in typical Deadhead fashion we’d always be real polite and chat her up a bit as I’m sure it could be pretty boring at times.........man, it’s funny the things you can get used to, the things then that we’re just a norm that now I can’t even fathom doing!
    Which reminds me, ppsssssstttttttt, ahhh, just cracked the first golden yummy of the WE; a nice frosty North Coast Old Rasputin, not usually a summer choice, but I dropped it and the seal came partially undone, and well “waste not, want not” etc and well it’s actually tasting pretty dam tasty in this chilly AC, especially thinking about all the nasty swill of our past, and hey, maybe that bottle fell of the shelf for a reason..........whooooaaa! Blossom!
    Got turned on to Oscars Can-O-bliss last D&C WE.....perhaps new favorite summer beer, yum will have to try more this WE!

    CJ, hee-hee, thanks for the tour tale! The times they may be a changing, but old habits die hard, and a, most of these venues have pretty stern warning lists of “NO” etc......no fun allowed! Aaaaaaaaaa, what’s up Doc? FU bitches, or as Old Jack used to say “avoid authority” and go through life like a ghost. These words have saved my ass many times over the decades!
    So in my best Chef voice “so all you chilrens never ever assume anything is legal” especially if it’s the important “items” that you just can’t boogie without. But “oh, oh, what I want to know is”........no not that, the rest of the story, because you said something in the first chapter about “we didn’t pay attention to the bus” or something........which I’m sure I’m not the only one here who has aaa, had difficulty finding [you fill in the blank] after a show 😉

    “LAMPSHDES......in the past” What you talking about Willis! I’m sporting one of my Pedro designer line as we speak!
    Ok, tonight’s performance will be 7/12/89........Awesome Summer Friday night, great Dead, great beer, ......Dooooooo, just realized we’re a tad light on the Big Smoke, Rat turds!!....well just have to hit the seeds and stems box like the olden days! Ok, nuff ramblin, in the words of our Amigo JS....ONWARD!! Forward, never straight!

I have the subscription. If it's not sold out, get it now.

Love the artwork and look forward to hearing this. A magic era.

Too soon to request an 80's show for Vol. 31 and 90's show for 32?

It's never to early to ask for an 80's show. But I'm a little greedy. 3 83 shows in a mini box would keep mr. Jones away from my door for a while

Seems the t-shirt for sale is the cover of the bonus disc. Interesting artwork, also gives an idea how small the Fillmore East was. That third disc is gonna get a lot of play at my house and in my car I imagine.

This is the Dead at their first "Peak". Amazing stuff. And the recording is pristine.

Love the art for this one. Glad to see something different and original.

“Incredible variety of releases and format” Dave you evil bastard LOL! We haven’t even received this one yet and I’m already jonesin’ for more! Format variety? Like perhaps some video....

COVER ART: I’m with thin, I like this cover especially because it’s not the bearded skeletons again....not saying any of that was bad, just think there is so much more iconography to work with and the skeletons have been done to death, yuck yuck, imho that is....sounds like we might get some era variety also? Philly 89? Summer 85? More 79? 91?
Folks saying Warfield 80 might be right, he’s obviously been poking around there....but what about Gainesville!

Yee-gads, I guess in the mean time we’ll just have to settle for some 70 Fillmore 😉 were so spoiled, thanks Dave

EDIT: perhaps the most interesting tell is that their working with Bears people and what that might entail......”possibilities are frightening”

I concur, guessing what's on this bonus disc is going to be fun. That third disc with the dark star is going to get some big time play here. Some of the tunes from 1/3 are on disc 1 and 2 so I am going to figure the big jams from both early and late shows will be on the bonus disc, oh goody, ps put me down for a couple of those limited run t shirts.

This seems like it might be pretty interesting.:

https://pitchfork.com/news/grateful-dead-graphic-novel-announced/

Anyone remember back in the day, the Grateful Dead comix? I recall them coming in the printed newsletter that folded out, was on beautiful stock paper, and had lots of colors and all the new products of the day. Like Dick's Picks one haha.

Sixtus

P.S. Wedeocu....true dat. 30 seems like both yesterday and forever ago! Also makes me wonder if there is ever any endgame number in store for us with Dave. 30 is great. Imagine double triple quadruple that? Who will live that long haha.

Just like others have noted, the skeleton art has become a bit stale and cliched so this is a welcomed change of art direction. The other covers are great but the skeleton motif becomes staid after a while. The Wizard of Oz cover was a nice touch on whichever release it was on.

Now onto that MSG NYC September 1979 box set. Dave that one will sell-out instantly.

I dont know Sixy, I think I can make it to at least Dave's Picks 110 or maybe 120.

Anything after that is all bonus material for sure!

Looks like Rhino has found the sweetspot. That point that people that want it can have it while keeping the cost down by not succumbing to those that think Rhino is in business for them by keeping everything made in stock

I tried to pre-order one (on an iPad) and got the message

“Selected required options are not available.”

Just seeing if it was sold out, I wasn’t going to actually buy it because I subscribed.

Edit:
Not sold out, I was able to put one in the cart.

100 total hits in the book, pre-orders only.
You have to figure out where to lick, with no 2 hits adjacent to each other.
Basically a reCRAPTCHA exam for the tongue. The problem is that by the time you realize that you found a hit, you could have found 5 hits.

But seriously folks, the real question is what unreleased songs are going to be on the bonus vinyl for preorders.

21K OR 22K for 2020??? PS jamming 4/17/1971 Dillon Gym from Princeton.... missed the anniversary by a day but in a mood for some Pig Pen!!!.... have a good night everyone... bob t

Only clue given was Alligator, and they very wisely used the key covers as filler on disc 2, and the rule about originals or phblic domain leads me to think the bonus disc will look thus:
Cumberland Blues, Alligator> Drums> Alligator> (Caution Jam tracked?) Feedback, Mason's Children, That's It For The Other One> Cosmic Charlie, Uncle John's Band> Black Peter, Dire Wolf

Think that's around 80 min; Senor Norman cuts a lot of the inevitable tuning that is left in on Archive, so who knows how much he can cut, one of the songs may not make it. Figure UJB> Black Peter over the early show encore version, and Mason's because Dave has put out most of them, and I could see another double Mason's, for those who hate and loathe and despise it, at least it isn't a triple shot of it. And not sure if he goes with another China Rider. Would not object at all to that.

And I wonder if Dave's mention of working with the Stanley family means this is more Bear's Sonic Journals type of release than Houseboat Tape continuation. Though, he also mentioned the Dave's that were part of that stash, 6 (2/2/70, 12/20-21/69 with bonus), 10 (12/10-11/69 with bonus), 19 (1/23-24/70). Either way, talk of talks with the Stanleys plus the returned Bettys make it a great time to be a Deadhead, and a boom time for any credit card company who gives cards to Deadheads.

Really excited for this release!

....the ONLY whiskey I can drink straight. Good call.
Also a good call, we might get TWO Cumberlands in this release! Blessed 🙏 indeed.

I snorked hard when i read that

If I remember correctly, the bonus disc can only be made up of GD composed songs. Reason being the bonus disc is a 'gift' so to speak and Rhino is financially responsible for producing it. They don't want to pay royalties for the cover songs on a giveaway disc. I can't say I blame them. The end of disc 2 has some of the cover songs from 1/3/70 and what cover songs they are.
Someone stated in an earlier post Dave had mentioned 'Alligator' so I'd say that's a safe bet for the bonus disc; Deadlists times it at approx. 25 minutes so there's 50-55 minutes left for other GD songs/jams. We could see some prime music from 1/3/70.

Looking at the set list, this Daves 30 looks like a bridge linking the 60s to the 70s. It must have been one of T.C.s last gigs, and one of the last times the Dark Star-St. Stephen-Eleven suites featured. The disc also includes a generous helping of the more country rock style the band would focus on during the first couple of years of the new decade. More country, less psych-although epic journeys were still made, the focus was beginning to change-and this set demonstrates that quite nicely.

Also nice to see hippychick back, lubricious as ever.
