    Dave's Picks Volume 28: Capitol Theatre, Passaic, NJ, 6/17/76

    This year's Dave's Picks series comes to a close just as the band's getting back together again in '76. By the time the Grateful Dead hit New Jersey’s Capitol Theatre - for the very first time - on 6/17/76, they were buzzing from their reunion, armed with new and revived material, the Rhythm Devils reformed with the mischievous Mickey Hart once again behind the kit. They'd skived off the unwieldy Wall of Sound and scaled back the venues from cavernous arenas to intimate theatres. Quite the treat!

    During the first set, the Dead's playing was nuanced ("Cold Rain And Snow"), detailed ("Looks Like Rain"), and intricate ("The Music Never Stopped"); the singing struck softly ("Row Jimmy") and raised hairs ("Ship Of Fools"). But it’s the big barreling energy of the second set you’ll want to brace yourself for, replete with a disco'd "Dancing In The Streets," a low-down funky “Help”>”Slip”>”Franklin's” and a wind 'em up to wind down "Let It Grow">"Wharf Rat">"Around and Around." Can you keep up? There's only one way to find out.

    This complete show, balanced out with a couple of bonus tracks from 6/23/76 and 6/28/76, was recorded by Betty Cantor-Jackson and has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman.

    Dave's Picks Volume 28 is limited to 18,000 individually-numbered copies*.

    Grab a copy before they're gone, gone, gone.

    *Limited to 2 per order. Very limited quantity available.

    Faulty Disc

    Oh! This is still going on is it...?

    Last time I looked in here it was before I'd even listened to mine and someone said "hope it plays Ok" and I thought "hmm.. sounds like there's a "thing" with DAP28" and shoud have checked it then, but well, 1976, you know... so yes eventually found I had a faulty disc 3 in LIG but thought it might be too late to return it by then, plus what do you do about getting replacements for sold out limited editions anyway?

    Can someone briefly summarise what's gone down? Are they still offering replacements? has it affected everybody or just some? TIA

    I don’t want a refund, I want quality CDs.
    I did get a single replacement that was defective, the other needed replacement was ignored.
    Incompetence on a grand level.

    I did get a response from Customer Service that said they were ‘looking into it’.
    Time to stop looking into it and start solving the problem.

    Replacement Disc Replacement Status

    I have also been wondering if I would ever get a working copy of DaP 28 or a refund or credit of some sort if they are not going to replace the defective discs with working discs. Both disc 1 and disc 3 had skips on my original, and I have now received two separate sets of defective replacements for both discs, and all have skips. I haven't heard anything back in a while after notifying Dr. Rhino/customer service about the second set of defective replacements. Hopefully now that DaP 29 is out they will have time to get this sorted out, but at this point it is a pretty frustrating situation.

    The CD player that I am using has no problem with any of the other Dave's Picks or the hundreds of other CD's that I play, both old and new discs. It seems to me it is incumbent on Rhino to provide discs that play in working CD players, not discs that kinda, sorta, maybe play on a PS3. I mean, glad it got some relief for Daves28Coaster, but it seems like a lot to ask of the customer.

    has anyone asked for a refund yet? I also got skippy as a replacement. Just curious if rhino is ever going to make this right with us or if they really think we are truly the fools they take us for?

    That's what we keep getting instead of working disc 3's. Coaters, tiles, we could use them for everything but listening to track 4 at 1:40. We've got three of'em so far, and now after suggesting that our players are sub-par and promising to test a copy on similar hardware, all contact has stopped, as if they just don't care at all. We've tested it on other players by the way, and so far the player with the best outcome was the Playstation 3. The logic behind trying it was that it's a blue-ray based player, meaning for it's laser to read the 1/0 dots on a CD is a bit like trying to thread a needle through a hula-hoop. If there's good real estate anywhere at the 1:40 mark, that's the method that should find it, and it did. Once. One time only. Rewinding back through the 1:40 mark CRASHED THE PLAYBACK SOFTWARE! I tried the PS3's ability to rip music and store it on the hard drive, and that got me a file that would play through, but with a tiny imperfection at the 1:40 mark. Anyway, I hope this helps as some of you might have an old game system laying around in a closet somewhere, and it /might/ get you a clean play through if you can't get any satisfaction from Rhino.

    Defective replacements

    I received 1 of the 2 replacements that I am waiting for, and it was also defective starting at 1:40 of Let It Grow.
    My second replacement never showed up.

    I got an email response from customer service (but not 2 replacement CD’s that aren’t defective).

    At this point a public acknowledgement of the total screw up and an apology from the management is definitely due.
    But that will never happen.

    Reijo29, I feel your pain, I have received two sets of replacement discs so far, and both sets also skip. Haven't heard back from Dr. Rhino after letting them know that the second set of replacements also skipped. The word that comes to mind is "debacle". Fingers crossed that there will be no such problems with the next release.

    My replacement disc finally arrived. Also skips on let it grow. Not quite a skip. It’s stops playing at the 1:42 mark. So damn annoying. I really don’t want to jump through hoops to get a working copy. Boo......

30 Days of Dead again, or at least I hope so. I haven't heard anything about it on here yet (service has not been just exactly normal lately), but I can't remember if there was any advance warning in previous years. That, together with the impending 2019 subscription launch and all the information that comes with that - and of course Dave's Picks 28 arriving. Its gonna be a busy month ahead.

Just finished listening to the awesome "AndOarAgain", the new 3CD reissue of Alexander Spence's legendary 1968 "Oar" album. As has been said before, the reissue of the year, with "Anthem of the sun" coming a close second. 😀

Marye~
I don’t know if you saw my post a couple days ago, but you cannot hover on a smart phone (iPhone 8+ / iOS 12). Besides that, clicking on the avatar photo or drop-down arrow is not working on a smart phone, either.

Background color ~
The two things in the comments sections that I thought made it feel personal and intimate (besides everyone’s warm and loving comments 😉) were the background color of the page and the font used for the subject of the comments. I can concede the font, but I think bringing back the familiar color of the background would make this new experience more comfortable. This white makes it feel like it’s just any other site.

Comments sections ~
I agree whole-heartedly with what many are saying about the comments sections on the product pages. I rarely post, probably only a dozen times or less since becoming a member of this site. But these “discussions” are the only reason I regularly come to this site. I know the site was only unavailable for a couple of days or so, but I really missed it. It’s something I like to check in on almost every day. It’s familiar user names like “marye” and many others that let me know I’m in the right place. I’m just not sure about the redecorating yet.

You are correct that you cannot hover on a smartphone, but on my phone tapping on the avatar brings up the pull-down menu. Then you can either choose something fom the menu or hide it by tapping on the up-arrow "^" next to the avatar. Hope this helps and hope it works for you.

Now time to watch the formula 1 race from Austin, TX.

Lots of confusion here, almost like the new user interface was designed to limit user interfacing.

I was initially unable to log in due to my password not being recognized, used the reset password feature and the link that was provided via email logged me in but would not actually allow me to reset the password. It appears that I have been logged in since that time.

I am also in the camp of liking the comments for a product linked to that product. This is the main reason that I come here, the comments on the product pages and the caravan of usual suspects migrating from one Dave's Picks comment thread to the next.

The other issues would be the white background, which is pretty blinding after a short period of time reading comments, the relatively limited number of comments per page and the already noted need to scroll up to read comments from old to new, and then the need to scroll back down to move to the next page. Hopefully the bugs are still getting worked out.

Sorry, I didn't realise you were talking about an iPhone. I have an old Android-based Samsung which works as described in my earlier post.

My daughter had an iPhone once - once was enough. I have heard, however, that iPhones are quite popular.

The comments can be viewed on the product page, just click on the comments button and they appear. But if you want to post it then sends you to the Community page.

Hot times in the old Winterland arena; great show from the Hamza El Din first set opener to the closing US Blues. The loudest I ever heard Jerry was during that night's Other One -> Stella Blue->Sugar Magnolia. VolleyBall games before the show, and a screening of Magical Mistery Tour(or Animal House??) A great Saturday night all around.

Now that you pointed it out, I do see the comments tab on the product page. Of course it didn't actually show me any comments when I clicked it, but I expect that they will work it out. Also discovered that my difficulty logging in was due to using my email instead of my user name. Doh!

... to declare that after seeing everything GD, from Robert Hunter solo acoustic to the latest version of Dead and Co., collecting thousands of hours of tapes, and buying pretty much everything this site has to offer, I never in my wildest dreams expected, during last night's Bobby and the Wolves show, the second set to open as follows:
Good Morning Little School Girl, Sunshine Superman>Dark Star. Smacked my palm into my forehead, I did.

Well, they're not going to change it back to the way it was, so I figured I may as well get used to it. Looks better on my laptop than the phone.

I'm a sucker for anniversary shows, so I just popped this one on. Ever notice they seem to have missed or cut off the first milliseconds of the opening chord to Bertha? Just a smidge.

Looking forward to this '76 show, haven't heard of any of it yet.

Thanks for the reminder. I did forget about the Anthem release. I bought that one just for the live show. In addition to my CD collection, I store all of my shows on my smartphone, each show in its own folder with unique artwork. Since I used the CD album cover artwork for the studio album on my phone, I created artwork for the live show, which of course needed a title. If anyone wants a copy of the album art for 10/22/67, I give you Anthem Of The Moon:

Talk about a couple of pieces to compare: The Other One from 10/22/67 and The Other One from 10/22/71. That will be the ride home + Dark Star bonus track from 10/21/71

Was just wondering if we could still comment on releases. Are the past release comments all permanantly zapped then?

It's going to take somew getting used to this new layout.

I've been touching on the anniversary listening program, and there are some great October releases. Particularly the later era stuff. Decided to deviate from that program and watch VFTV One. Haven't watched it in a while ande what a greeat underrated show that is. Sure hope they bring that series back.

As of this moment, the site still doesn't recognize my password and I have to use the emailed one-time link to log in. And there is a NEW problem. It appears I now get logged out except on THIS page.
Was trying to comment on the Welcome Back thread but opening that page kept logging me out. After two emailed link re-entries to the site, I re-entered the site without logging in, stopped by the DaP28 page and then to the Community Thread page then clicked "post a comment" and was suddenly logged in! Something is rather wrong... More than before.

Original purpose of going to Welcome Back thread was to point out that my favorite new site feature has a probably unintended side effect: The front page "recent comments" section is a great way to keep us comment-mavens up to date. Thank you all for that! BUT, I see that threads for the 2019 DaP and 7" subscriptions have been created. Can't access the threads ("access forbidden"), but does your marketing dept really want us knowing about impending purchase opportunities this way?

...after several days of nearly burning my retinas on the "ALL WHITE" border/background, I've come to realize that one of the fun/colorful/unique/personalized aspects that is now missing are the pictures of people's avatars. Even if the all-white is kept, the addition of the avatars at least would give some otherwise lacking "personality" to the pages and 'ourselves'. I'm not surprised if traffic here has slowed down - it seems some easy things could be done to make the pages a little more user-enticing.

Just my two pesos.

Be well, People!
