Contents

Some copies of the album also include the Dave's Picks 2019 Bonus Disc. The additional CD contains ten more songs from the January 3 concerts. [4]

Dave's Picks Volume 30 includes psychedelic rock songs such as the ones on the band's then-recent albums Anthem of the Sun , Aoxomoxoa , and Live/Dead , as well as folk rock songs like the ones on their album Workingman's Dead , which would not be released until five months after these concerts. The Dead's musical lineup included keyboardist Tom Constanten, who would leave the band about three weeks later.

Recording

On Friday and Saturday night, January 2 and 3, 1970, the Grateful Dead played early and late shows at the Fillmore East in New York City. Their performances were recorded by their audio engineer Owsley Stanley. The concerts were promoted by Bill Graham. Appearing on the same bill were the bands Lighthouse and Cold Blood.

Critical reception

On AllMusic, Timothy Monger wrote, "Covering an interesting period of the Grateful Dead's history, Dave's Picks, Vol. 30 brings listeners to January 1970, when the band was transitioning out of the exploratory electric psych rock of the late '60s and into their more acoustic Americana period." [5]
