    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*.

    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!

    Box Set Wish

    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!

    It doesn’t say that on the back of the 2-27-69 vinyl box.

    Plangentizing the reels of previous releases?
    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 know this might be a reach, but maybe it is a Chicago run. He referenced High Fidelity which was a movie based in Chicago, and Til the morning comes was not only a Dead song but a Peter Cetera song and as we all know he is was in Chicago. Now what Chicago run could it be?

Fuck that reCRAPTCHA shit.

My previous post required around 20 reCRAPTCHA screens.
This past weekend I ended up just deleting a post because the reCRAPTCHA wouldn’t end.

If TPTB are trying to dissuade us from posting on this site, they may end up getting their wish.

I was thinking it might be a 69 show but I don't think TPTB would release a 69 show right after releasing a 70 show. Now if it's a Chicago show I'd go with 1/30/78, 1/31/78 or 2/1/78 the reason being that it's been awhile since we had an official release from 1978.

Hit me like a diamond bullet in the brain-its 1976, surely. The reference to putting the Dead cds away for a while, to take them out when the morning comes could be a reference to their sabbatical at the end of 1974, and subsequent re-emergence in 76. Taking into account the fact that there hasn't been proper 76 box yet-a couple of Dicks Picks were 4 cd 2 show sets - then this seems most likely. I would prefer Fall 1972-but I can't see it myself.

For all fans of the post Syd, pre Dark Side Floyd, I would recommend the new remaster of Phaedra by Tangerine Dream. Its part of the new box set, but all the studio albums have been released individually. They are as cheap as chips and this one, the best of the bunch, sounds amazing. They seemed to me to take the space music Pink Floyd played as a basis for their own development. Mainly electronic keyboards, but you can't dance to it.

Whoops, I've got that "I'm not a robot thing" to do now. Maybe they think my post is potentially subversive.

I think you might be onto something Daverock. Also, from the first Bolo clue:
"Trapped....from earth......for what seemed like a decade......." "grace of God" "good to be back although my soul is still drained and weakened"

the decade= 65-75, grace of God = Blues for Allah

I'd love a 76 box. I've been listening to a lot of 76 lately. The instrumental blend is so perfect, really as good as pre-hiatus.

Happy 4th folks! I'd love to tag along with you, in spirit, HF on the Yampa! I'll be quiet, (in spirit), and you won't even notice I'm there.... it looks wonderful!

Also some 70’-72’, 76’, 82’-89’ or 90’-94’ would be welcomed as well, as long as the “Audio Quality” is Primo! 😉 which is my top priority for a Full Performance vs a Compilation Piece like the ‘Road Trip Series’...who am I kid’n, I love it all, “feed me Seymour!” Lol ha ha...

Been listen’n & enjoying my, ‘Fillmore West 1969’ boxset, my favorite boxset Release to date, for now...

high fidelity would mean that the shows were recorded to reel to reel.

2-track or multi-track recordings or both. That should narrow it down a bit.

Edit:

Looks like it's Betty Boards from '76 along with 7/18/76.

First off, let the guy hang here without projecting his comments as clues. Okay, but because his subject line was about our patiently waiting -- a kind but total mis-read, this place is getting hot -- I put my naivete aside and join the speculation.

I don't have much, and he leaves us wondering if he's taunting about DaP 31 or the new box, but...

"every once in a while" could be completed as "get shown the light," a reference to Scarlet Begonias? "Under the bed" (no one puts their GD CDs on the floor under the bed, Bolo has book and CD shelves) ... probably means something. And "til the morning comes" could be a reference to when Morning Dew arrives. (Any shows with Scarlet and Dew?) Also, his line breaks are suspicious -- inviting a naive idjit like me to seek a pattern.

Goddammit Bolo, ya got me going again. Well played!

Never in a million years would I have thought that some folks might construe my latest post to be some sort of clue regarding the identity of a box set or DaP31. My apologies, as I'd NEVER want to mislead, confuse or otherwise discombobulate any of the kind souls here on this forum (cough...cough).

But, of course, the post was a clue. Not for the aforementioned products people are breathlessly anticipating, but for a "What's Taking So Dang Long?" contest. Something to do as we all mill aimlessly around while DL casually looks at his watch and ponders the summertime flora and fauna of Vancouver Island.

A careful read of my last entry will reveal a specific venue and associated concert(s). The first person to post the correct answer will receive an assortment of GD-related goodies valued at more than $100, but less than $1 million. As a bonus, if you can name the song that was played for the first time at said show(s), I'll throw in some extra ephemera.

Only one guess per screen name (no screen names created after July 1, 2019). Just post your conjecture here, and the earliest correct answer will get the goods.

Cheers and good luck!

I'm guessing the full Fillmore East run from 9/17/70-9/20/70, since "Till the Morning Comes" was first played on 9/18.
Though I could be wrong.
I mean, I usually am.
Until I'm not.
But even then just barely.
I'd dig a '76 box, but "September 70: Fillmore East the Complete Recordings" is my official guess.
Officially.

Everyone is guessing dates from 1970 for DaP #31 with the "Til the Morning Comes Line"....I seriously doubt it is from 1970, that's what DaP #30 was from!!?!!

Perhaps it's the Harding Theatre..

The Felt Forum is tucked away under MSG and sort of hidden in the bowels of the NY Subway. Not that I have ever gotten a single one of the bolo riddles so far...….

If we can believe Bolo.. this is not a clue to the next release, which probably means it will be Dave's Picks 31.

It will be announced tomorrow and will be one of the 4th of July shows.

In my best Colbert voice,,,,, send me award!

Are they for the Box Set or DaP31? Or both?

Predictions:
DaP31 - 6/3/76 Paramount Theater - Portland, Or.
5 songs make their debut/1st performance:
1. Might As Well (opener)
2. Lazy Lightnin' >
3. Supplication (both middle of 1st set)
4. Samson And Delilah (2nd set opener)
5. The Wheel (encore)

I know it's not a favorite but I think this show has my favorite version of 'Looks Like Rain'…BW and DJG are spot-on with vocals and harmonies as JG 'rains' notes around them.

Box Set:
Texas '72 - 11/19, 11/22, 11/24, 11/26. Rhino needs to hit a home run with this one…the last thing they need is another box set sitting in their warehouse. If that happens we may only see box sets every 2 years?

Box Set Dark Horse:
December '69: 12/20, 12/21, 12/26, 12/28-12/31. Includes the legendary Ark run. It would also be the 1st time Rhino tied a Box Set and a DaP together: last shows of '69 and the 1st shows of '70.

I have no idea if the shows are in the vault but it would be a win-win either way!

Congrats to Richard Torres, correctly guessing the Harding Theatre, two 1971 shows, Hide Away made its GD debut.

Send me your address via PM and I'll get you your box o' goodies. Unless you're the same Richard Torres from the NSA who oversaw the implantation of an evil minibot on my cerebral cortex during my first alien abduction. If you're that guy, forget I was even on here.
