Dave's Picks v.35... 4/20/84

It does seem like an odd choice.  I was at this shoe, but don't remember anything that stood out.

First set closer Let It Grow was strong.  Perhaps I missed something. 

There are many other 1984 shows that if memory serves me well, had more to offer.

Like Berkeley Community Theater, Berkeley, CA (11/3/84 also 11/2/94)

 Greek Theater (U of California), Berkeley, CA (7/15/84)

I was at these shows and agree that other shows throughout 84 would be better choices . I did like the venue a lot. 

I liked Ventura a lot especially the second show ( I believe it was an early start)

I don't even think this was the best show of the civic center run>>

4/21 is liked the best of the 3 by a lot of people, some hear a St Stephen tease during space, but a  tough call with the 2nd Wharf Rat of the 3 shows

 I did like the venue a lot>>>

Paved paradise & put up a parking lot, some classic 76ers/Celtics playoff games in the 60's.

They whiff the 80s pretty much every time. I almost think it’s intentional

Eggman, Wasn't this the run of shows where your bartender friend in Philadelphia near U.Penn kept on buying us round after round of drinks? Roz and I laughed about that for years. H2

dudes I am so stoked

Probably the 10th or more shows that I attended to be a release. A great alternative to the Spectrum although there so many great shows. Funny I totally remember being surprised by the second Wharf Rat.

My 1st show, so am stoked.

I love it when they release shows I was at, and I'm psyched that I was at Ned's first show. Looking forward to this one in a couple of weeks.

If GDM were going to release any shows from 1984, there are several that are more noteworthy and definitely better than the Philadelphia CC run. The best pair of the year were played in October in Augusta, ME. Those two are definitely worth having. The other three show run worth having are the Greek shows from July 1984. Jerry didn't look too good with an unkempt appearance onstage and one can only wonder what he looked like when he was not performing. 

Is there a seaside chat for this one?

I'd like to see those Augusta, Maine shows released.

Merriweather Post Pavilion, 1984 were also very good:

Creator of The Eggman AKA H2 that was Ventura 85 you are thinking of. I do remember being in Billy's van for the run and we all stayed in the same Hotel as well I recall. These shows were funded by my dad as part of my college graduation gift. 

10/12/84 Augusta was released as part of the 30 Trips Around the Sun series.

> Is there a seaside chat for this one?

No seaside chat cause of that silly thing that was gonna go away when the weather got warmer.  
Except it didn't .  Here's the next best thing. A quarantine chat.  

https://store.dead.net/music/dave-s-picks/dave-s-picks-vol-35.html?eml=2...

I signed up for five subscriptions when they launched. I quit subscribing in 2016. 75% of Dave's "picks" are predictably redundant in year or era, or just uninspiring/mediocre shows overall (band playing quality and/or setlist), or both.

sold off all of my sets for a grip though, so I'm not complaining about the frenzy, just the actual content.

Nydave -  Dave's pick 34 was also a quarantine chat, couldn't find the one for 35 but there it is.  Thanks. 

grip: As much as one can hold in a hand; a handful. I need to get a grip of nails for my project. (figuratively) A tenacious grasp; a holding fast.

A little north of three stacks per set if I remember correctly.

next question...

Nope not quite 3, just checked. $2500 for dp #1-16, all sealed with the bonus discs and also the second printing of dp #3 (five hundred pressed) Times four. A few years ago now. Bought a truck. Sold the opened ones for a few hundred less. Bought tires and brakes. I'm not sure what they go for now, but damn if deadheads won't throw ridiculous money at the most trivial shit. That was a 5x return in four years. Basically free truck. Forgive the slang. All love man. Wish I'd bought a hundred subscriptions.

I did pop for the swing auditorium one though. Man. Total stunner. Who doesn't love that show?

Lemieux is a goober. 

>> I'm not sure what they go for now, but damn if deadheads won't throw ridiculous money at the most trivial shit. <<

Hartford '83 was one of the early Dick's Picks releases, and in the linear notes they had an image of an original ticket stub. I think it was $12 and the CD (in the mid-90s) was like $25. Good for them, I say. That said, don't own a CD player do won't be buying this one, but will download off the Spotifys.

Is that for real? I have all of em and like 30 are still unopened and sealed . 

I am talking Dave's Picks above not Dick's picks . 

The Philly run was Fukin' Great!!!!   The East Coast 84 spring run was just Awesome...

>>>Total stunner. Who doesn't love that show?

One of my all time favs  

This DP seems almost picked for it's setlist. 

Bump for receipt of the goods. I got mine yesterday and haven't listened to it straight through yet, but I've got a few beefs. First, the sound quality sounds a bit muddy to me. Also, the filler from the night before is at the end of disc two and three and it's out of order. Maybe I'm just another picky deadhead, but I'd rather have the main event play straight through and then add the filler in the order it was played. That said, it's always fun getting an official release of a show I was at.

I'm curious what others have to say about this release.

I'm still waiting for mine.  Usually get an email that it shipped but nothing yet.

This one did take longer than usual. I normally get mine a few days after its release, but it was about a week this time.

Well I must have thought it into existence, mailman just delivered :-)

^^ Trump defunding USPS?!

still haven't received mine.

it's been sitting in greenville, sc. for 5 days.

thanks trump...

hope you're having the same problem, Thom.
