    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*.

    I've been quite lucky ordering this. I got it from Amazon UK-ordered it yesterday and it arrived this lunch time. I haven't got the cd box set, so I can't compare the sound, but this vinyl edition sounds superb.

    The show, of course, is phenomenal. The first four songs serve as a kind of framework on which the rest of the show is based. As soon as Lovelight starts, you can hear that they have moved up several gears. The drummers lead the way, Phil joins in and then Jerry supplies the pyrotechnics. I prefer Lovelights that are heavy on the jamming, less so on the rapping, and this one, in between the sung introductions and denouement delivers in spades. The intensity continues through the second set Other One which goes into Dark Star-quite a change of pace-it sounds almost incongruous. The two other Dark Stars I have heard from this run seem to develop more organically out of Mountains of the Moon. This Dark Star is quite unique-a completely different flavour from the previous nights-maybe a bit more melancholic, which is odd considering the sound and fury that precedes it.

    I haven't played the rest of it yet-but if memory serves me well, the best is yet to come!

    Incidentally, I can understand, sort of, why they are not re-releasing the cd box set, having announced that it was limited edition. But it shows a major lack of judgement by my reckoning. Why deprive the general public ( and, more specifically, Daverock) of getting to hear possibly the greatest run of shows by any band...ever? Still, at least the albums are coming out on vinyl-roll on 3/1!

    yeah that was the thing... on dead.net, sold out of To Terrapin...enter your email and we will let you know when and if it becomes available, I'm almost 70, I ain't got time to wait so the $30 on ebay was the most reasonable option...others had it for anywhere from $50 to $80!!!...and it was a new still sealed copy, and I managed to slightly tear the cover getting one of the discs out...oy! On my next allowance day I'm getting the Warfield set...

    For what it's worth, our local record store was late getting their allotted shipment. Evidently they've had a lot of difficulty recently with shipments from the warehouse/distributor. Sounds like the problem may not be isolated to just them. They were kind enough to hold a copy for me once it arrived.

    Good luck to all.

    P.S. This robot nonsense is a bit much. One correct response should be enough.

    Re: Nappyrags To Terrapin

    Hate to hear you had to buy it on ebay, I got a new copy in slim trifold packaging here at dead.net for I think 20 bucks a couple years ago, would have assumed it was still for sale here as that seemed to be a new pressing. But I checked and it is indeed not currently available. But speaking of that Hartford show and keithfan's comment on multi-part Playings, Hartford has a sweetnPlaying> Terrapin> Drums> Not Fade Away> Wharf Rat> Playing, Tuscaloosa had a similar sequence missing Drums and NFA, and 4/25/77 from 30 Trips features a wonderful Playing> Drums> Wharf> Playing, and, more recently DaP 29 had the Playing> Wheel> Playing from the Swing. I agree on the preference for a good 20+ min self-contained Playing (Donna yell and all), and the NYE 1976 one is one for the books, with a great bass-driven jam, but I can't deny some of those sandwiches are equal to or better than those 3 versions of The Sequence with UJB> Dew> UJB as the middle of the sandwich. 11/10/73 the middle night from Winterland '73 is my favorite of the 3 (the other 2 being 11/17/73 DaP 5, and 3/23/74 DiP 24).

    And while I was poking around the dead.net store Warfield was popping up, this time showing available and one went right into my cart. But, don't worry not gojng to be greedy and snap it up, I shall release it.

    I add my thanks on mentioning them. I was looking to see if I could get Fillmore West 2/28/69 there to no avail, but did stumble across Shrine 11/10/67 for 62.99, which is the best price I've seen. This FW 2/28 has been a major pain in the ass. I ordered it from a record store, only to have them email me that it was sold out, and they canceled my order. So I went to Amazon, and my shipping went from 7/11 to sometime in September, and the week before, they canceled my Warfield cd, despite the fact I ordered it the day it popped up on Amazon months before. I have put in a purchase through a seller on Amazon but have heard nothing from them, and their website does not show FW 2/28 in their inventory (they do have a lot of harder to find stuff for reasonable prices), so I've emailed them to see if they actually have it, and the shipping date is still 2-3 weeks away. Meanwhile Amazon is now selling the exact one I canceled and claiming 2 day shipping, despite telling me 2 month shipping. I don't understand why this wasn't just the RSD release along with the Warfield. That other record compilation had cool cover art, but terrible song selections. Or why not sell it here at dead.net? Or on Rhino.com?

    Edited out the DiP part, because I went back to snatch one, and it's not actually there, it's through an online marketplace and the cost was $50 for an "acceptable" copy that is probably the same condition as mine. But I did also finally see a listing for FW 2/28 there this time, though it said unavailable.

    whoever it was that mentioned they had gotten a copy of "Reckoning" fairly cheap at B&N...being a member (and having a weekend goodie coupon) I got it for $20.35 with free S&H...sweet...also this past Thursday I drove into Flagstaff for some errands and browsing at a great used bookstore that also carries some music...I had hope to get a Live Jerry on Arista that I had never seen before but passed on the last time I was in town...of course it was gone but I did get a special "Without A Net" set that came in a double cardboard case that has the crazed clowns covers...I picked that up for $8 ...for someone who never cared that much on post '89 shows it holds a warm spot for me...once back then I was forced to hang in a dive bar for almost half a day waiting for a rescue ride...the bar had a new digital jukebox and I was able to play "Without A Net" over and over for fairly cheap...anyone have an idea what that Jerry release would've been? I guess I'll go for the Warfield set next...Also last week I finally picked up a copy of "To Terrapin: Hartford '77" on Ebay...a new sealed copy for $30...got it yesterday and have played a bit while driving into work today...

    Playing in the Band

    I find the Donna scream on the multi tracks to be much more normally balanced in the mix, and not harsh at all (Veneta & all E72). They don't bother me because they blend in at the right level. But forget about it on the prehiatus two track recordings, especially 1974. Oh well.

    I find most of the post-hiatus screams to be way toned down and not a factor. Try live at Cowboy Palace New Year's Eve 1976. Not only is it a post Hiatus multi-track, but it may damn well be the best two drummer Playing in the Band they ever did. And they didn't split it up into multiple parts, which is only acceptable if there is multiple Uncle John's Bands and a Morning Dew in the middle :D

    Closing Of Winterland - never loses its luster for me. Outstanding Scarlet-Fire; best ever I Need a Miracle & Stagger Lee; solid '78 Terrapin; Dark Star / 2nd Best Post-hiatus The Othe One / Dark Star part II (short and sweet; great extended Good Lovin' ; From The Heart Of Me; great 19 minute NFA. And I think some folks really dig the Round and Around. Great piano from Keith on stuff like Big River, which in my mind puts to rest any notion that the man lost his chops on account of drugs; I say he simply fell asleep once in awhile, but hey, so did Jerry. It's all Rock 'n Roll baby! Anyway, skills intact. My only criticisms of this show is the same of most post hiatus shows: Bobby's Gibson ES 335/345 are sorely missed, and Donna is over-utilized (don't need her on Wharf rat or Sunshine Daydream, or Ramble On Rose, etc). If you really want around this show out on your digital copy that you keep on your cell phone, add the Shakedown Street from the Egypt show, as it's also derived from a multi-track, so the sound is clean as can be. Oh, and the Playing in the Band is really good.

The next box set will be announced next Tuesday, May 7, 2019 at approximately 1:00PM EST. The box set will contain the 6 shows played at The Capitol Theater in February 1971 or maybe every show played at The Capitol Theater.

Pig, TC, Keith, Brent, Vinnie & Bruce.

Would love that! So many debuts, the ESP experiment and the Dark Star> Wharf Rat (debut)> Beautiful Jam> Dark Star would be on the 3 cd compilation for sure. Amazing that they only ever did Wharf Rat in the middle of Dark Star once. One of my bands does Wharf Rat quite a bit, and it's hard to avoid doing Dark Star teases in it. I've even labeled some of them Wharf Star jams as we'll go back and forth. We also like to throw The Other One jams into Wharf Rat at the bridge when it crashes into E, or other songs in E scales, like Phish's Carini, but I digress... I'm not expecting the Capitol Box this time around, but they have to at some point since the Bettys came back, and they were among the most sought after. If they indeed do announce it, I'll definitely be on board. It would be odd to release the already released show as part of it. If they did, I would hope it would sort of be a buy 6 get one free type deal to keep it the same price range as the PacNW box, which was $50 more than July '78's 5 shows.

Really, where to start....

That’s why we need more than one per year.

Mini-Boxes: Pigpen/TC, Keith, Brent, Vince/Bruce.

That way people can choose their era, and for those whose era spans 65-95, they really score.

Moved to the second hockey game (muted), now spinning 5-19-74 vinyl.

Vinyl sounds awesome with the volume turned up.
Starting to think that the return of vinyl in 180g form was a good idea by those people who keep coming up with ways to get me to send them money.

Little known fact.. In his later years, he covered a mean version of Day Job.

The title to Bolo's post is reminiscent of some of the opening lines of the song In the Beginning by the Moody Blues from their 1969 album Threshold of a Dream. Another clue for a 1969 show, or was he just paraphrasing Descartes?

Fugazi always meant fake when I heard it used and that seems consistent with the context in which Bolo used the word.

Bolo's reference to the captcha thingy showing stages of his life - does this mean shows spread over different years or decades, or is it just a fugazi clue?

Chrono-synclastic infundibulum? Gotta say never heard of this before and had to look it up to see what it meant. As I understand it now a person who has entered a chrono-synclastic infundibulum exists at multiple points and lines in space time. I like ShaggyFraggle's thoughts on this and his pointing out that it is from a Kurt Vonnegut's book Sirens of Titan. So are we getting shows from different points in space and time throughout the dead's career? Or did Bolo just want use the phrase chrono-synclastic infundibulum in a post?

So many questions...

McArthur Court, August 16, 1981, Eugene Oregon, Grateful Dead with Ken Kesey, Zane Kesey, Ken Babbs and the Thunder Machine.
Hmmm...
Looks like Kesey and his Thunder Machine also made an appearance at some other shows as well, including maybe 6/25/78 Eugene, Oregon, 5/8/84 Silva Hall, Eugene, Oregon and 6/23/90 Eugene, Oregon. I think I see a pattern here.
Making me think maybe it will be a series of shows from Eugene, Oregon with appearances by the Thunder Machine.

....'cause, you know, that's how it works.
8.16.81 is fine. Gotta give kudos to a Stranger 2nd set opener. Right?
edit.... Scarlet is fast. Fasten your seatbelts.

After checking to see at which shows Kesey's Thunder Machine made an appearance, and all of the ones that I was able to find looked pretty hot based on the comments that I found with the shows. Looks like the Thunder Machine also made an appearance at the closing of Winterland show on 12/31/78, but that has already been released. If that is what the box will be, a series of shows with the Thunder Machine, I'll be a happy camper, and if not I am guessing whatever it is will make me smile.

I gotta say the Bolo clue sleuthing seems really on point. If the box doesn't turn out to be a collection of shows from different eras; then he has to admit he's just f*ing with us :)

Well, my guess was off, surprised the UJB> Black Peter segue is cut (Dave seems to love Black Peter) and at the cut of Cumberland and especially Dire Wolf given the cover art, but no complaints. Didn't realize CR&S was public domain, but I love any disc that opens with that.

2 weeks ago I predicted:
Only clue given was Alligator, and they very wisely used the key covers as filler on disc 2, and the rule about originals or public 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

#952 has landed in N.Y.C. via UPS just one minute ago! Wow! Usually we are late in receiving a Dave's compared to the rest of the country but not this time. What a complete surprise. Having said, and to our European friends, my heart goes out to you for those long waits and #$%^& damned tax/postal fee collectors who 'Shake You Down' for extra money to get a cd in the mail. I got lucky this time.

Two things here:
1 - The confirmed ship date for DaP30 was April 26th. Now we hear that Dead.net / Rhino is moving to a different warehouse and shipments will be delayed!! Why was this move not done on Feb. 2, right after DaP29 went out? C'mon Doc! We are dying out here! 3 months was bad enough. This is just insult to injury!
2 - Most of us call for "complete" shows. While DaP30 may include the complete show from Jan. 2, looking at my Deadbase it appears that this release has completely reconfigured the set list of the show and they have changed the flow. Not cool. It may be complete, but it is not the way the boys offered it up that night.

Rock on

It’s friday, the snows gone for now, it’s a bright sunny Friday in the high country, new Dead showing up everywhere, Bolos got this place jumpin’ , new box on the horizon, and if that ain’t Enough,, WELCOME BACK DOC!

Edit: oh yea, and the AVs came to play last night too!

Doesn't look like I'm getting it until next week which is fine since I do a lot of quality listening driving to/from work...

Doc - very happy to see you here. Every time I think of April 71, I think of all the great shows you have sent my way over the years. Glad you are well!

and of course, keeping with tradition, now that the release is starting to hit everyone's mailbox it's time to guess the next one. I say Dec 79!

They have done this before.. I think someone, perhaps KeithFan?? has a handle on re-ordering them using some software package.

Agree it's not ideal, but first world problems. I am more interested in getting the music. Got my shipping order last night, the arrival date is not yet in the system. 1970, what a pivotal year.. Bring it! I think one day we will get 9/19 and 9/20.

Grate to hear from you Doc and glad to hear you are doing well. I will have to scan the 71 catalogue for gaps...are there any recent upgrades from 71 that you are aware of?

Bolo...glad to see you are back from your interstellar galactic travels and as cryptic as ever. Maybe you could at least tell us where to find one of those chrono synclastic infundibulum things you’ve been riding around in/on. I spent the whole morning searching Amazon, eBay and Craigslist...cant even find a used one...WTF?!?!

Anyways, finally got my shipping notice today and was saddened to learn that without the infundibulum thing, I will probably have to wait until tomorrow for my subscription copy of Daves 30...I have stalled out on Europe 72 for now. Stuck back on 04/26...but I did give a listen last night to 04/27/85 that Sixtus called out the other day...fun show with lots of 80s energy, and a cool setlist. Also busted out 05/05/77 New Haven...love the Sugaree in this one, but the highlight for me is Peggy-O...Phil’s base seems to be especially Grate in this one as well.

Peace all...please play it loud today...maybe I’ll catch a tune!

Edit: Bonus Disc problems. I was hoping for the Morning Dew, but not surprised. Am surprised about possible reordering?....seems odd
Double edit: never mind on the Dew...found it...track listing on my phone has it in the same line as The Monkey and the Engineer so I missed it...:

Daves 31 guess: would love some 79...think it’s been a while? would also like to see some 82 or 85. Also think we are due for something from the 90s.

As we wait for these Fillmore shows...

The 30 trips 1986 show is from this date at the Cal Expo center. I love the eclectic set-list on this one.

And check out 5-3-87 at the Frost: https://archive.org/details/gd87-05-03.sbd.hinko.18848.sbeok.shnf/gd198…

The soundboard is really clear and there are a couple cool moments in the first set. Brent preforms a rousing version of Little Bunny Foo Foo as Bob is plagued by technical issues. looking forward to jamming the second set at work and hoping Dave's 30 hits the mailbox this weekend.

Blimely that was quick!

I have received mine in the UK today. It usually takes at least a couple of weeks to arrive here.

Thats how a DaP30 got to the UK so fast.

My shipping notice didn’t have a tracking number, but UPS sent me an email saying that I have a package coming tomorrow.

Song reordering?
Same thing a year ago. Took me quite a while to undo the damage. It’s not as simple as reordering the songs on the computer because, at least on last year’s release, tuning for the next song was appended to the end of the previous track, and so has to be edited. Very annoying.
Hope they didn’t screw that up again this year.

What’s up Doc?
Glad you’re doing well.

Great news for you that you got the latest installment in the Dave's series so quickly. I would have to agree with the "leave the setlist flow as originally played alone" criticism. That is as they say: A No Brainer.

Stoltzy - I'm here with you my man. Pouring one out for Ole' Chewbacca - RIP Peter Mayhew.

Heya Doc. Glad to see you are good.

I am happy with the Bonus disc, but I am feeling VGuy's displeasure for No Cumberland....pouring one out for you too, homey.

I hear you icecreamkid on the DaP 26 bonus reordering, I normally would have edited out all the tuning and teases, but just stuck ordering it correctly and trying to ignore when that Tennessee Jed tease goes somewhere else (I think that was the most prominent one) but I honestly don't listen to the 12/14 part of that Pick as much. Not because of that, but because the 11/17 portion is sooooooo much better to me, and the setlists are so very similar, so I can't get myself to listen to those back to back again like I did when it first arrived, and I usually listen to 11/17 then move on to another era. Since I mainly listen on a USB drive in the car, I'll reorder 1/2 and 1/3 accordingly, but I may take the time to do those edits this time around, because I think this one will get more consistent play of both shows. Or all 4 shows, however you wanna look at it.
