    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*.

    3/24/93 Dean Dome with filler from 3/25. Really good later show, and being widely circulated hasn't stopped other shows from being Picked, also, it would be the first foray into the 90s in the Series, might as well make it good one. Guess we'll find out in about 45 minutes time... Good luck to those who didn't subscribe.

    something for a chuckle

    Sorting thru EVERY Garcia show EVER done. Got to 81 and found this note. Thought maybe it would interest some.

    I went to this Palo Alto show with my usual plan. Hang in the parking lot and get my spot in
    line established in the front of the line. You could do that back then. You could be one of the
    first few people in line, establish your presence and go about your pre-show plans and
    everyone would respect your place in line. Then I could run around and socialize with the
    usual suspects, smoke pot, drink beer and wait. Once I got in I always got a front row table as
    the other "head of the line" people were always hot to be rail-rats on the dance floor. My habit
    was to score the front row table and then drop the appropriate amount of good ol' LSD.
    I got the table and then this guy shows up and asks if he and his friend can sit there. I had no
    problems with that. I didn't care how many people can fit in--- I got my seat! This was actually
    a good thing because now I can run around, hit the bar, have fun and not worry about my
    seat. I come back to the table and his guy is setting up recording equipment. Of course I
    asked if I get a copy? He said, "sure--write down your address". Well, that assignment was
    actually a tough one. The acid was coming on very fast and I had a very hard time getting
    a pen a paper and then writing something on it. I scribbled something and he wrote down his
    address and it said "Dead Echoes, Pahoa, Hawaii, I told him, "I know someone in Pahoa". He
    looked rather startled and said "Who". I said, "Dick Latvala". Now keep in mind that this was
    before Dick became the GD Archivist. He said, "what does Dick look like?". I described him
    and he taps his friend on the shoulder who was sitting, facing the stage with his back to us.
    This guy turns around and without missing a beat, looks at me and says, "Hi Jeff, gee, I
    haven't seen you in ages". I was stunned. It was Dick and I had not seen him since I left his
    house in Pahoa in late 1976.
    (Here is the picture that Dick took of us leaving his place in Hawaii. He handed back the camera to me and off
    we went to Hilo. The 'substance' in the rolling paper was ---- if you will -- "Dick's Gift" -- the β version!)
    Dick then he proceeded to turn me on to what they were doing and how they were doing it.
    The problem was that the acid I took was getting into full swing and I was having a hard time.
    Dick finally said, "Why don't you just send me a couple boxes of blanks and I will fill them up
    for you." I did, and he sent me this tape, and many others and my tape collection got a major
    infusion of top trading ducats, and I was now hot to tape shows myself. It just took me awhile
    to get going.
    I saw Dick many times after that until I moved from California to Florida in 1989. I came to the
    December 1992 shows and ran into him in the parking lot of the Oakland Coliseum Arena. I
    told him that I had been sober since Jan. of 1991. He shared with me that he was trying to get
    sober and get off of drugs, but he was having a hard time because shows always interfered
    with that plan. At that show, he was sober in terms of alcohol but he was going to dose for the
    show and he discussed that at length with me. He was trying to grasp how I could go to
    shows without at least getting high. He never "got that". I never got to see him again after
    that.
    On the information page of the 1-23-81 show, it says, “no info on Dick's recording rig”. I was
    sitting at the table watching the recording happen and I don't remember what sort of
    equipment was being used. Actually, at the time, I didn't know very much about portable
    recording equipment. Amazingly enough, someone did! Taperpat wrote in to the comments
    section on LL "My notes show a Technics 686 with Nak CM 300's.." I contacted him for more info
    and he said
    " I am an old friend of Dick and a long time taper/archivist. Which means I still have my old analog library
    consisting of reels and master cassettes. On reel I have the same complete 1/23 and the partial 1/22 which I
    picked up soon after it was recorded in the early '80s. Like Dick, I keep a written record on set lists, taping
    equipment, location and any important data bits. Much better than relying on memory. In this case, my notes
    show that this was the equipment used that night. The irony is that I didn't write down that Dick had actually
    taped the show which makes it a rarity unto itself as he recorded so little on location. This might have be his only
    recording that I know of. Does that help? "
    Well, Pat you can count on it helping. Now we all know and "we" all just love to know all this
    OCD tidbits!! If Taperpat knew this and just never had a reason to drag this stuff up from his
    memory, just think how much more music and information is out there just waiting to surface.
    I ran into Bob Nelson (bnmusic) at the May 2008 Phil shows in SF. (I had flown from Florida to see
    the Sunday show.) I had not seen Bob in years, and he said something close to "Jeff, you got a
    bunch of stuff that is uncirculated, you ought to get it out". I heard him and didn't really think
    much more about it until I spotted one of my shows on LL that came from Katfishjohn. It
    turned out that he and I went to shows back in 1982 and we had lost contact. Because of all
    this crazy Jerry-based influence many of the 1982 shows will soon surface. I recorded almost
    all of the SF Bay area 1982 Jerry Band Shows. I just wish I had done Stockton. I was there
    and didn't record!
    My sincere thanks to saturnus for his careful Manley SLAM!® transfers of these 1981 shows
    and the transfers by Matt Smith of 6-12-82 and 4-25-82. Hang on to your hats folks, because
    Matt has a whole bunch more of my 1982 Jerry Band recordings to put up on LL.
    I am so grateful that all this is taking place. I was thinking, that if back in 1982 I had said, "ya
    know, someday......all of these recordings will be available to anyone -- world-wide" ----
    'they' would have taken me away in a nice white coat with very fashionable straps,
    accompanied by a woman with beady eyes and tight pursed lips who would have a pencil in
    her bun hair-do, while carrying a clipboard, not to mention the two big guys who would seem
    to tag along!
    I hope everyone is enjoying all of this stuff as much as I am. You see, I don't know how to
    transfer all this stuff to digital. I don't have the equipment. I don't even know how to upload a
    new torrent! However, I am downloading the torrent files just like everyone else---- so I can
    listen to them on CD and enjoy them too! Aren't you glad you live in this age of computers?

    anniversary of moonshot today

    announcement at 10 am today. I predict it will be a 69 show with a really space related theme, perhaps an unreleased Dark Star from 69? . After all, we are on our way to the moon 50 years ago, quite an exciting time. Launch, ground control to Capt. Trips, take your Owsley pill and put your helmet on....

    I was at that show in addition to the encore Dark Star they showed pictures recently received from Mars? from a space shot I don't recall which one on the video screen. As you can imagine it was impressive for all especially those of us sparking. Friday night shows started at 7 nice and dark by encore time, perfect for the pics

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!

He said "under the bed" and what is under the bed? Box spring and flip it would mean a spring box (set). Or mabey not. I had to guess something. Talk about a shot in the dark.

Sheesh. This contest was over almost before it started!

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.
