If Dave goes 91 it will most likely be 6/22/91 Chicago. He’s talked about this show multiple times, including once on a Dave’s Picks QnA livestream where he said it’d most likely be a pick some day. If you search you can find the video.
My postman is now taunting me. A second delivery late in the day saw another package......which turned out to be a book for my wife..........I’m starting to resemble John Cleese in Clockwise........if anyone gets that reference.....
3/30/89 (also Greensboro) was one of my go to tapes back in the day. Pretty good show if I recall...of course back then you couldn't be too choosy.
Check out UJB on DP5. This is the one that opened my eyes to what the GD were all about. Still one of my favorite releases.
I’ve been examining my Dave’s Picks Limited Edition numbers and here are my top 8 lowest numbers: #5) 774/13000 #31) 1417/20000 #22) 2076/16500 #3) 2110/12000 #9) 2490/14000 #12) 3448/14000 #40) 3464/25000 #29) 4660/20000 What are your lowest numbers?
I would love some '69 releases, too. Is it just me, or does '69 seem somewhat underrepresented in the overall Dead catalogue? I have the Fillmore shows, but that box came out a long time ago, and a complete set of that run is not easily available (some vinyl Record Store releases, out of print box of CDs, partial shows still available on disc, etc.). I've been getting a bit of a new appreciation for Pigpen lately, queueing up a few '69 shows. Yeah, the Love Lights and Good Morning Little School Girls can get tiresome, but man, he could bring a lot of fun to a show, too. And '69 is a prime year for some rarities, like Alligator, Ol' Slew Foot, and Green, Green Grass of Home. I'd much prefer something like that to another late-era show with MIDI experiments, or Vince Welnick.
Dave hasn’t released anything from 1969 since Dave's 10 which is almost 10 years ago. Silly, really. Yeah give us some awful cassette recording from 1983 when Brent was playing that circus sounding marimba thingy with the drums sounding like pillows. With Phil flattened out and Bobby playing some oddball guitar that we can barely hear. OR release a primal 1969 show or shows recorded by Owsley on his reel-to-reel recording machine. With the best sounding drums ever. Arguably the most explosive era for the band and we get bupkus for almost 10 years. No we should keep these essential tapes under wraps until many of us are dead.
A bunch of '71 shows, along with a couple of January 1970 shows, are the closest to primal Dead that's been released in recent years.
Not a DaP but the Aoxomoxoa 50th bonus disc had previously unreleased live music recorded January 24-26, 1969 at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco.
That is true. Anthem of the Sun 50th also included a show from '67. I almost forgot about those, despite thinking about the '71 shows released on the 50ths for WD, AB, and S&R.
