    Sweet liberty! We're venturing into the depths of 80s Dead with the complete show from 4/20/84 at the Philadelphia Civic Center and we're placing bets you'll think this one is more than fine. A strong contender for our mega 30 TRIPS AROUND THE SUN boxed set, 4/20/84 missed the cut by virtue of its setlist being a wee bit too similar to the years before and after. As DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 35, it's found its time to shine. The first set delivers yin yang harmony between Jerry and Bobby songs, yielding driven and powerful takes on tracks like "Feel Like A Stranger," "Cold Rain And Snow," and "Brown-Eyed Women." The second set begs the question - will we ever stop peaking? - with a monumental "Scarlet>Fire," a ripping "Samson and Delilah," a "Space" that pulls shapes that know no names, and that "Morning Dew" - get.in.to.it! And because this one might have ended just a little too soon, we've packed disc 2 and 3 with knock-your-socks-off bonus material from most of the second set from the previous night, 4/19/84. Grab ahold while you can!

    Limited to 22,000 numbered copies, DAVE’S PICKS VOL.35: PHILADELPHIA CIVIC CENTER, PHILADELPHIA 4/20/84 has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman and is guaranteed to sell out. 

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

    all I am saying, is give GD87 a chance. _two_ shows!

    giving us 87 means new explorations, perspectives, viewpoints, new space, etc. No, it ain't 12/18/73, or Europe 72, or some monster 69. But...I still love Daves 35, and will continue to subscribe until I literally join the dead, or the series ends.

    DHBrewer & Format

    DHB, always love to hear your thoughts!
    Dennis, always love how you crack me up!
    Format: as others have theorized, perhaps they want to spoon out “the good stuff” (not my words) thus mixing it up and keeping enough of those “nuggets” to keep it interesting.
    Also, perhaps not enough 60s; variety, good sources etc, to do one every year, but agree we could use more.
    Obviously not everyone is always gonna be happy, but I’d love to see say alternate 60 or post Brent 90, with 2 70s, and a 80 release every year. Think that would be fair, cover most sweet spots, cover the ABCD costs etc,and yeah, sometimes ya might get one your not thrilled about. Fir that see previous post...

    Eras & 37

    I like all the eras, they all have their charm. A great performance is a great performance whenever the time. Someone here once said if you stop at 71, then you don't get a long list of GREAT standards,,, can you imagine no Eyes!!! Early stuff,,, can you beat a great Viola? Of course not. Luckily we got Dew for a long time.

    I like the 4 times a year surprise of the picks, on the monetary front you either have the money to spend or don't. Two positives in this modern world, copies always available somewhere and it seems the bonus disc always sells for the price of the subscription on the aftermarket (for good or ill I agree). Past that thank the band members that made the music possible and allow it to be up on the archive, something every can afford :-)

    Now on this 37 front,,, my selfish pick, 1975-06-17 - Winterland Arena - San Francisco, CA . No wasn't my first show, never been to Winterland, but it will the last 75 show not to be released! I want to cross 75 off the need list!! Come on Dave,,, do it for Dennie.

    Yes.. 36 was announced with a picture of the cover art via email as follows:

    Hard to believe but we've come upon the very last release in our 2020 Dave's Picks Series. DAVE’S PICKS VOL.36: HARTFORD CIVIC CENTER, HARTFORD, CT (3/26/87 & 3/27/87) will be up for pre-order on Thursday, October 15th at 10am PT. Set that alarm and don't hit snooze!

    DHBrewer.. would love to hear your rant.. I get the feeling it would crack me up.

    Also, for what it's worth, I quite liked the recent 83 and 84 Dave's Picks. They might not get the quite the speaker time as my other children.. but sometimes you need some high-octane workout music. Palate cleanser for the more delicate intricacies of my favorite acid jazz 74 shows. 35 must have come at just the right time as it probably has four or five partial listens and I enjoyed the hell out of them all.

    My non-posted post was rated PM (private message) for snarkiness

    I typed a post this morning, but cannot bring myself to post it; please PM me if for some reason you think you want to read it! :)

    The gist of it is that 26 of 40 shows from 1974 have been released, even if just partially. So have 36 of 82 from 1972 and 32 of 60 from 1977. My notes from 1984 and 1987 say that I have enjoyed the two and five shows, respectively, that have been released from those years, which were still part of the Garcia era.

    The other point from my post, made also by Oro, is that we can all keep supporting this fun trip, or we can withhold the meager monies requested of us, and then we can stop getting shows, including all the free November music and the free Tapers' Section music, and the Free GD Hour . . .

    Confession time--I could not care less about the shows from late 1969 through Keith's first show. But when those shows are released (and there have been many), I smile and feel Grateful that people who love that era are getting some kind dessert.

    Be kind, rewind.

    p.s. If Dave wants to indulge himself a bit after all these years and all this work by releasing his first show, then bless him. And we may be getting a whole new distribution model after this release, no? Dave ends the Dave's Picks series by releasing a cool show that got him on the bus? I'm willing to bet that whatever he and Rhino do will enhance my musical life.

    That makes two Ron Francis references in this thread in the last 24 hours. :)

    Glad to see another northern team in the league and Seattle deserves a franchise. Now they just need to contract Phoenix, Nashville, Carolina, Dallas and the Panthers to get the level of talent more concentrated. One of those can move to Quebec I suppose.

    Good discussion about the releases. Oroborous said it well.

    More Maple Leafs jokes please!!

    Oroborous is right

    I agree with Oroborous’ sentiments on these releases. For me, I miss the days of attending concerts (and Covid aside), actual LIVE music, the crowds, the atmosphere, and far more than just the Dead, but ALL the great music. Before scalpers were bots, and best seats could be had by lining up in rain, or heat, cold and damp, with friends who added to the experience and laughs, and those great tickets could be bought for a fraction of today’s prices. (Neil Young & Crazy Horse on the original Rust Never Sleeps tour from great seats, for pocket money, or The Band on their final tour, to name just two) Now, so many of the performers I flocked to see in my youth just don’t tour anymore, or if they do, you are buying bleacher tickets at prime prices, if you are lucky. Planning to go with the gang? Good luck getting seats together now. So these Dave’s releases represent to me some of that early concert fun. Yes, some lesser, some way better, but that, too, is part of the joy. And two shows in one release sounds like a sound bargain. Just my two cents.
    And for folks in the Seattle area, I urge you to embrace the new Kraken franchise - you will love the game as I have for 60 years+, and since the franchise hired Ron Francis, a legend as a player and a gentleman as a person, you are in great hands. (Ron was a long time Hartford Whaler, when they were in the NHL, and I am positive this was why Dave Kloc put the whales on the cover of DaP 36, from Hartford). Chances are, the team will be a powerhouse quickly, along the lines of Las Vegas in 2-3 years, and as a guy that has followed the sad sack Toronto Maple Leafs as long as I have, that means something.
    So, in summary, enjoy these releases, they never fail to entertain me, because nothing beats “live” music, and Grateful Dead “Live” music is as good as it gets. And Seattle, enjoy the Kraken, you won’t be disappointed.

    30 Years!

    That’s how many years the Dead performed, not 5!
    So I like any show, from any year, as long as it’s a great show and it sounds at least decent.
    I have good equipment and after listening to shitty tapes for decades, I’m able to sit back, entrain and enjoy.
    Meaning I’ve never received a release that was so bad I couldn’t stand it. I cherish each and every release, even from years that aren’t my favorite. Do I play them as much as others, of course not, but that does not diminish my gratitude that we’ve been blessed with so many shows, especially this century! I mean come on, if you think about it it’s amazing how many releases there are, and only so far! So of course with so many different folks from very diverse spaces not everyone is going to like everything, sorry but that’s called life.
    But that’s just my personal take, I totally understand some folks fervent attachment to certain years/eras, hell I love 85 for fugs sake, certainly not a majority opinion, lol, so I get it.
    But Mr Heartbreaks second post is very valid. To me, vested discourse has always been one of the most fun parts of being a DH. Man the civil arguments we used to have in the car on the long road between or after shows was epic, and hugely entertaining, especially if some one was out in left field versus the consensus. It always amazed me that 3 or 4 or 7 people that went to the same show could have such different takes on what we all just experienced. Of course experience was always a big part of how we obtained our opinions...
    Perhaps the most well known example is the dude in the dead movie out in the lobby!

    My only criticism is not dissenting opinions, or what you say, it’s how you say it!
    Sometimes we, and I mean many of us, can knee jerk react and be a bit cantankerous. Often the individual cools down and realizes and even apologizes, that’s what makes this place so special....civil discourse, something severely lacking in the world today!
    So just because someone doesn’t like something doesn’t mean the majority should slag them, as long as they do so respectfully and intelligently.
    I also agree that this place can be a little too “the emperor has new clothes” like in its ability to eat anything. Shit the band used to joke about how overly excepting we were! So I can understand MR HBs opinion on that too.

    Finally, again only a personal opinion, but it is so easy to sell these that if I was in the camp that’s only into specific stuff, I would still subscribe because:
    1) you get the bonus disc!
    2) since you paid for it you might as well rip it to the collection and then,
    3) you can sell one or 2 and pretty much pay for the whole subscription!
    That also has the added benefit of providing copies for Johnny come latelys or folks who missed out some how.
    In other words,
    4) if we don’t support this iT WILL GO AWAY! Like it or not this a business and if we dont buy, they won’t sell!
    Harsh, sad but true, but the bottom line rules...

    Eventually, once most, but not all, sit down, fire up and listen, I think most folks will find these interesting, enjoyable, well played shows, even if there are no 30 minute Dark Stars etc...
    Would I of preferred 12/18/73, you bet ya, but that doesn’t mean I’m not going to really dig these shows!
    Just a thought....onward through the fog!

Still nothing. USPS says no package ever arrived to the local center. UPS won't discuss it. Not their problem. Last info they have is that package was dropped to local usps center on Monday morning. Dead.net wont help. They just say wait. Very frustrating.
Bright side is a realy nice nugget of Dylan/Band from 74 I had not heard until today. Lots of great stuff in the pile when you start to dig.
Stay safe everyone..

NHL underway, which is good. So far, all the players have tested safe and sound. Hopefully they can finish it out and get the season over.

Speaking of delivery dates ... I've posted before that it's usally 2-3 weeks following Shipping Notice arrival that product actually arrives in Regina, SK, which frankly I think it's reasonable given that the product is crossing an Intaternational border which is physically non-existent and when you consider all the checks and balances that goes along with transporting goods across International borders. That said, since time stood still in March-April, anything I've ordered from Dead.net has taken 7-9 weeks to arrive. I'm now beginning to understand the frustration and emotional torment of our European Deadheads who seem to experience interminal waits with each release. I guess my point is that whatever I order stll arrives, albeit later than I would like or reasonably expect. Such is life thes days, unfortunately. Look on the bright side however - the Flames have advanced and are ready to make run for the Cup!

Looking forward DaP 35 whenever it arrives!

Thanks man. No update to tracking this morning. I use Informed Delivery with USPS so I can see what is coming my way in advance. I also signed up for updates to the tracking number at USPS which still says "waiting for package" as it did on 8/3. Maybe tomorrow. ...... It's weird to read so many comments about how the USPS is slowed to a halt for the various reasons when in general I have not seen this at all. I ordered a new fishing hat from a place in California a few days ago. Got tracking, followed the package, they warned it could take extra time but it didn't. I just ordered a new SYF beanie from back east somewhere. It's tracked in my ID at USPS and moving along, no slow down at all. Wife has a birthday package coming. Same deal. Everything seems to be working fine for us with the mail, UPS, Fed Ex, Amazon (1 day for nearly everything, got the Workingman 50th in less than 24 hours yesterday after this thread reminded me I had not ordered it yet,thanks!!!!).

VGuy, I will confess. A friend gave me Kanye's Late Registration a while back, in an attempt to get me to listen to some music that happened AFTER 1990. I tried it, and liked it! Dug it out about two months ago, and enjoyed it so much again that I went and purchased My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, which is one of his best, according to the Interweb. Haven't had time to put it on yet, what with Dead/Garcia CDs arriving seemingly weekly as of late.

Enjoying this release much more than I thought I would.
Even Jerry's craggy, weary vocals somehow seem just exactly perfect.
Maybe it's because everything looks and sounds fresh and new each day I'm still here that I'm not supposed to be.

Indeed a great show and Jer's birthday. A two-nighter with The Band only two days after we got back from Watkins Glen. On Aug. 1, the crowd parted to allow a guy with a woman on his shoulders to approach the base of the stage and transfer a b-day cake to, I think, a roadie who took it backstage. Jer and the boys were already on stage and Jer definitely thanked the woman in front of everyone. Got a big cheer. And yes, the show was hot. They did that sandwich thing, which was to play a "regular song" during a monster jam and then return to the monster jam as if nothing had happened. Great prankster fun! Man, that was a l-o-o-n-g time ago! Still feeling a little crispy.

And, to be fair to deadheadbrewer, I also checked out some Kanye. Stronger is decent, albeit he takes liberty with some Daft Punk samples. POWER was also pretty good.
That being said, he had Mickey Mouse and Bernie Sanders "sign" his eligibility ballot. This isn't a drill.

Mines literally been sitting at my local post office since last Monday. It's now officially been sitting for a week sitting at the acceptance.

In fact I haven't received any of my mail in over a week now, including bills. Supposed to be getting my license renewal as well. Glad I have my passport for a valid ID at least.

No fault of anybody employed by the Dead or mail carriers. I know my state in particular is under attack by political forces. Crazy times.

Mine has apparently been a mile up the road at the local PO for 8 days now. If the routing is to be believed. Don't gimmie this shit about Covid either. I've had multiple packages arrive in 3 or 4 days. All of my stuff gets here like normal. It's only the Dead stuff that lies in limbo. I even had a bottle of hot sauce from New Zealand get here under two weeks. Two weeks from New Zealand folks...
An eternity from Cali? Dead.net...you're broken. WTF?
Goddamnit..I don't want to be posting here anymore but I'm agitated as fuck...again...about the poor shipping. WTF

For many years, one of my favourite late night listens has been Tangerine Dream. So peaceful I usually fall asleep after about 20 minutes. Consequently I am very familiar with the first half of their cds, and quite unfamiliar with the second half.

A new week and mine is still sitting at the local post office with the rest of my mail and no way to get it. Trump isn't letting me get my mail.

Can tptb make it possible to send a download link for this release to me as the govt is holding it up. Its nobodies fault here, but if my mail is all going to be held up until November...or until the election cycle passes, at least I could listen. Even streaming it would be cool.

Again nobodies fault here. This is truly f-cked.

If my bills end up late I'm sending my finance charges directly to Trump.

Laughing at DaveRock’s comment about nodding off to Tangerine Dream at night, because I have the same issue if I lie down to Mile’s In A Silent Way - only 3 (extended) pieces, but usually after “Shh/Peaceful” it’s lights out!

As for Dead.net shipping and all round postal nightmares, I wondered why no notice about DaP 35, and it appears The Factory has cancelled my 2020 Subscription - this year keeps giving and giving. The fine customer service people have kindly request offered to “expedite” my request, as they always do, so who knows, this may be the end of the line for ordering from this site again. Too bad, because up until maybe two years ago, it was working like a Swiss clock, but now it is changing warehouses/slowdowns from Covid blah blah blah. Not affecting other dealers, not to this degree. Regardless, I’ll see where this “expedition” goes, but I feel for all who are waiting for the goods.

And the banter on this site is top notch, regardless, like sitting in a lecture hall with the most knowledgeable group of Graduate Deadheads who really know where all the bodies are buried! Keep well, all!

HI All! I too am experiencing the shipping issue. My DaP 35 has been sitting at the post office outside of Columbus, OH. since 8/3, about 3 hours away from the Burg'. The method Dead.net uses , at least for me, relies on UPS to complete part of the shipment only to transfer to USPS. USPS then does the final part of the delivery. Using the tracking number with UPS it states it is in transit from its current location in Ohio and updates are to come. Using that same tracking number with USPS it states no info can be provided.

Now up until recently, I have had of my most shipments sent to work. My Dave's subscription is one that I have not changed to my new address since the order was placed quite some time ago. I am heading into work tomorrow so it may very well be there. M company is sate of chaos so who knows though. My company is a non profit which I work in the largest program which is an approved private special education school. Sadly my organization and the school component has not come out the current virus situation with out some job causalities; there were layoffs. Prior to this the company had been making layoffs, but the school which had been the primary means of success and revenue was unscathed. Unfortunately the new corporate "leaders" have now turned their sights squarely on the school. it is likely I am in the next round of layoffs coming at the end of the school year, maybe sooner. I just hope the shipping vortex clears before then...

DP 35 #5608 of 22,000 dropped in my mailbox at 2:00 today! I wasn’t going to believe it until I held it in my hand, my wife was out cleaning up the yard and I spotted it in her hand, she was in no hurry to get it to me😬. If you haven’t gotten yours yet keep the faith, mine took an extra week and sat in Morrow, Georgia for a week and it’s only 30 miles away.

Hi All,

My Dave's 35 arrived last week and I've just had a chance to give 4/20 a full listen with a couple repeats. Great mid 80s show to my ears. I had never heard these shows before. I agree with others that the Let it Grow is great. I also enjoyed the Stranger, and Scarlet Fire is quite good. I like the show. Happy to get diversity of eras and I will be listening to this one a lot in the coming weeks.

A couple thoughts. I agree the tape sounds a bit slow. Seems to me like the release team here doesn't do pitch changes on the casette masters. Tape speed has been an issue on past releases from casette. I have to wonder if there is a conscious choice, to not change the document in that way??
In this case, the show still sounds good to me.

Spring 1984 tour has a unique sound to it. I really enjoy the sonics that Brent is putting out. Shows from this tour he is doing these long sustained sounds from his keyboard. Good fun.

The only other show from this tour that I have listened to is one of the Providence shows from a week later. Several years ago I dowloaded a copy from the Hunter's Trix matrix series. Great stuff. It opens with a Shakedown and Brent keeps releasing these deep sonic depth charges during that song - very unique version.

That Providence matrix also gave me one of most memorable listens from Dead shows. At the time, probably 8 years ago, I put that show on headphones at night before bed. During the Scarlet Fire I saw these really vivid visualizations of kaleidoscopic patterns and could feel myself in the space of the show itself. Dancing in the room, several rows back from the band - Jerry side of course.. It was a unique and powerful experience. I don't think anything other than the usual smoke was involved, though it may have been a pre-dream flashback of sorts. Anyhow, having listened to literally hundreds of dead shows, listening to that matrix of Providence 1984 is one that stands out. I recommend that show to folks wanting more after this release. Thought the setlist is similar.

Anyhow. Hope ya'll are hanging in there out there. Play it loud!

I want to say a sincere Thank You to Dave and everyone else working on releasing Grateful Dead music.

I really enjoyed the Shakedown stream shows and interviews during this crazy year. Awesome entertainment. Buckeye Lake 93 was one favorite - heres to Ohio Dead and heads!

The new dead podcast is also excellent. I love the deep dive on Workingmans.

I really appreciate all of this high quality music and entertainment in a time when positive vibes are needed.
Thank you Dave. Thank you Dead.net
Gratitude

I agree. There are a few cassette master releases where Charlie Miller has an edge on pitch correction and perhaps a few other tricks as well. I'm no expert though, I wonder who or what decides what the correct speed is? Speaking above my pay grade, there is probably some subjectivity in it???

Anyway.. hoping to get my hands on this soon. Wow.. after this it's the last release of the season...

It's actually the universal A note at 440 Hertz that dictates proper pitch, every instrument's tuning on stage is based on that standard. It's apparent when you try to play along with an instrument.

The arrival of GarciaLive 14 & bonus disc this morning prompted me to check the tracking of DaP 35. I had received the shipping mail from the DeadNetStore on 7/31. On 8/6 the small package had reached the UPS facility in Fontana, CA. Yesterday evening 8/10 it moved across the city to the USPS facility in LA. It is now allegedly in transit to its destination, which is the CD player in my living room. Hopefully it will take no more than 2 weeks to cross the pond, but there are no guarantees on that. Still, I do now have GarciaLive to listen to and Bear's recent Commander Cody release is also on its way. A veritable cornucopia of aural delights!

Head13 - it must have been annoying seeing your wife cleaning up the yard with Dave's Picks in her hand. Much better if she had run in in with the cd to give it to you as soon as it arrived , before returning to her chores. Women! (only joking, of course!)

Yeah Daverock to her credit we are trying to sell our house and she was cleaning up some stuff in the yard and yeah she doesn’t appreciate music or the Dead the way I do but after 34 years of marriage we pretty much know all our quirks and we laugh about them, and yeah I knew you were joking cause I was too in my post, I’d literally be lost without her. At 62 I need all the help I can get. LOL
