    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.

    I do own the DVD set and the four CD release. The DVD release is 2 DVDs. The first DVD is sets 1 and 2 and the second DVD is the third set and bonus materials. Yes, it is in 5.1. The video is a little grainy and was originally aired on San Francisco public television. You can still buy this one in Amazon for $14. Well worth the money as this is an awesome New Year's show. If someone already covered all this my apologies. The four CD release is multi track and sounds better than the DVD.

    Has this sold out on this site? Can't believe it as it had been here for so long. But I guess that does happen. Try Discogs, good site.

    Unrelated, but I should blow the horn on an old favorite of mine Englishtown 77. First show back from the car accident of Mickey and it is so damn good. Love the whole show and the recording is top notch. What a crazy 20 minute Not Fad Away, first Trucking since 74 and the Terrapin encore!
    Does anyone know if they have the tapes for the June 4, 1977 show at the Forum? I can get lost in 77 shows for long periods of time and the prospect of unreleased 77 shows.

    Yes.. they still make it. I am not sure it gets stronger, unless somehow it continues to ferment in the bottle.. but if it did it would eventually explode as fermentation creates CO2 as a byproduct. They say, like a fine wine, the flavors evolve if you cellar it. I wouldn't know, I haven't tried but perhaps I will toss a case in the cellar this year... to me, it's the tequila of beers, if you see me drinking one, please take my keys. :D

    Love the banter today, If I had more energy there's dozen or so things I would contribute. Great to hear praise for Garcia Live 11. Well.. that's it for this other one. I see horizontal levitation in my future.. in exactly.. wait for it.. sssZZZZzzzzzzzpft.

    That stuff was brutal but good. If you could keep yer mitts off it and let it sit I understand it would get stronger.
    ...we could never let it just sit so I don't know from experience. The longest I got was maybe 3 or 4 weeks. Hell, back then it was off season in ski country so we were broke and we drank it.
    Listening to String Cheese at the Moose from 2-18-97. Good times...

    Happy 35th 7/13/84.....GREEK Theater Full Moon show

    AHH My very first Taste to The Grateful Dead. I was a fanatic WHO fan in High School. A young man who was a "True Deadhead" took me aside and told me his appreciation that I have for The Who, BUT insisted I give the Grateful Dead a go and handed me this tape. I was hooked and off to the Genovese Drug store in Guiford, CT to purchase these MAXELL II S blank tapes. (That's what i was told to do) My new obsession began and the tapes came pouring in. Thanks Adam B.. What a lovely show that will be so special to me.

    On another note if any of you are on the fence about the new Jerry Garcia Vol 11..... GET IT!! Aint No Bread in the Breadbox alone is worth all the money. Phenomenal!!....Cheers and Happy weekend

    Woah, just got to the Dear Prudence > When The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game.

    What an outro on Prudence, and I've loved Hunter since I was introduced to it a few years ago buying Compliments at RSD. This is a great show.

    Loving GarciaLive Vol. 11 so far, some of my favorite JGB songs. I liked the Eel River set well enough, but for some reason didn't really click with it. But this has one has grabbed my attention thus far.

    I also really like the one from '91 Milwaukee, but my favorite period (of my very limited experience with JGB so far) is '78. I like the extended jams, but I really can't get into the early stuff like the Keystone, etc, I need more song structure if that makes sense. Those make great background music, but I can't rate them as highly as something I'd go out of my way to hear. But 3/22/78 is like butter...Love in the Afternoon...

    I'm sure I posted about it before but anybody read Positively Garcia: Reflections of the JGB by Howard Weiner? He has a list of maybe 10 or so of his top JGB that he writes about (only 72-84 for this 'Volume One') but my goal was to find them all. I only have several though, so need to get back on that. I do remember 2/6/72 Pacific High Recording Studio with Merl, which is the one that goes against my earlier comment on lack of preference for the era. That Expressway (To Your Heart) is insane.

    Now that D&C tour is done, got solo Mayer scheduled in August. Looking forward to seeing the contrast between the two. Also got Willie Nelson (w/ Alison Krause) and hopefully the Avetts and Dylan before the year end. I see Dylan just played Hyde Park on the same bill with Neil Young last night, and somewhere in Ireland tomorrow. I'm not a big Neil guy, but bet that was cool for folks.

    I have the Spring '90 sets but I thought about grabbing the Without a Net CD just for completions sake, and it's always nice to have a compilation. But it's not available on Amazon, and the used ones are over 30 bucks! People are very strange these days..

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.

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.
