tumbledownshack Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 This item is now available for PRE-ORDER ONLY. Item is estimated to ship May 1, 2013. 2 complete shows, once missing reels filled with never-before-heard material, a previously unheard and quite majestic 1969 "Dark Star," a first-ever version of "New Speedway Boogie," a second-ever version of "Mason's Children".... We can hardly contain our excitement about Dave's Picks Volume 6. The first major return of material to the vault since 2005's Houseboat Tapes, Dave's Picks Volume 6 will feature 2 complete shows with never-before-heard material from 2/2/70 Fox Theater, St. Louis, MO and 12/20/69 Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco, CA. Long a mystery, the riddle of the 2/2/70 set list has now been solved and the music restored to its proper - and spectacular - sequence. 2/2/70 is also notable as the first show without Tom Constanten. Tom, however, makes his return to give his first-hand perspective on 12/20/69 in this volume's liner notes.Pigpen fiends, ask and you shall receive. Both shows feature loads of Pigpen including a major 35+ minute "Lovelight" from 12/20/69. Recorded by Bear with an excellent mix and sound quality, this very special release feels like a return to the classics.

redeyedbert Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I just watched the David Lemieux video where he talks about this release. It got me excited. He got me hyped about all of it, but I"m especially excited to hear the St. Louis show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stlblues Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Quote January 30, 1970: All the members of the Grateful Dead except keyboardist Ron "Pigpen" McKernan were arrested in New Orleans for possession of marijuana. The incident later inspired some of the lyrics in the song "Truckin'." The band didn't return to Louisiana for seven years, and they stayed away from New Orleans for a full decade. For those of you who don't already know, the St. Louis show doesn't happen without the help from three gentlemen...... Steve Shankman and Irv Zuckerman of Contemporary Productions in St. Louis.Steve and Irv traveled from St. Louis to New Orleans to bail the band out of jail. The Grateful Dead's next gig was at the Fabulous Fox Theatre in St. Louis on 2/2/70. Steve and Irv's Co., Contemporary Productions, had booked the Dead to play the Fox.http://www.stlmusicy...ays.com/CEA.htm Bob Heil of Heil Sound for supplying the Grateful Dead with a sound system for the Fox Theatre show on 2/2/70. The DEA in New Orleans confiscated the bands sound system when the bust went down. Subsequently, the sound system the Dead used that night at the Fox was given to the band to use for the remainder of their tour. I believe this was the old sound system from the Fox Theatre in St. Louis. See video below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tumbledownshack Posted May 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 I've listened to discs 1 and 2 so far. This release is top notch!! In the liner notes they mention there will be another release of late 69, early 70 material that was never in the vault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
