Dave's Picks Volume 30 is a 3-CD live album by the rock band the Grateful Dead. It contains the complete early and late shows recorded on January 2, 1970 at the Fillmore East in New York City, along with five songs from the band's performances at the same venue the following night. It was released on May 3, 2019 in a limited edition of 20,000 copies.[1][2][3]
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.
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.
