Thanks for sticking around this long, and for joining us through these past nine years of archival live Grateful Dead releases." - David Lemieux

We're doing things a bit different for this one - two complete shows on four CDs, bringing you one of Dave's faves and what very well could have been one of Dick's Picks. Yep, back-to-back nights from peak era 80s - the furthest we've gone into the decade, in fact - that will bring you to joyful tears. DAVE’S PICKS VOLUME 36: HARTFORD CIVIC CENTER, HARTFORD, CT (3/26/87 & 3/27/87) delivers emotional takes on tracks like "Row Jimmy," "Black Peter," Uncle John's Band," and serves up a hit list of covers ("In The Midnight Hour," "Good Lovin'," "Desolation Row," "Promised Land," "Little Red Rooster," "Morning Dew," Johnny B. Goode") that'll have you hootin' and hollerin'.

The Good lovin jam rocks before Dark star. Thanks to the dude who hooked me up on this one. One very strange movie was 'the entity'. It was about an unseen spirit or entity that sexually assaults a woman and they try to capture it by trapping it in a room and using liquid nitrogen to see its form. I dont like movies with women being assaulted but this one is an old one worth checking out. The woman was actress Barbara hershey.

Well Hey Now Jim

I forgot about you and kayaking. I should have figured you would come up with info about Deliverance. I have never been Kayaking, have been rafting and canoeing in the North Carolina Georgia area. If you have ever driven from Cherokee NC south into Georgia, that is a true dramamine moment. Makes me woozy thinking about it. (BTW have you seen Kayake Guy around here recently, hope he is doing well.)

Did not know about the Bob Dylan part or the Fire on the Mountain part. May be a better statement is that I forgot. I cannot remember the last time I saw Deliverance, I am sure it was in the 90's.

As far as a freaky evening, I wrote several years ago about the March 22, 1987 Hampton show. First show I ever recorded. We get back to the hotel to start the traditional all night tape swap, and a friend of mine starts drawing. As it is about 1am at this point and we are trying to manage the coming down portion of the evening, we flip the channel and "The Exorcist" was on. So here are several of us, fried beyond recognition, playing tapes, drinking/smoking, watching my friend draw and watching the Exorcist, sound off. My friend draws a lightning bolt coming down and touching the top of Tiger. As the neck goes down you can see the top half of Tiger, but as it goes furthur down it morphs into the Hampton Coliseum, with Grateful Dead and the date on the bottom. It was a pencil and paper sketch and was incredible. We are trying to find the original right now. We think it is in storage in an old barn. Have been too lazy to go digging for it.

Jim, on a different note you and others might remember 2016 the launch of Osiris-REx by NASA. The surveyor just finished its stated mission of retrieving space dust off of asteroid Bennu. Confirmation at 6:12 ET. It has collected and taken off of the asteroid. If you remember correctly, they placed a cassette deck of Grateful Dead on board. I cannot right off the top of my head remember the show, but it does have a Dark Star. I remember one of TPTB arranged to have that done, but just cant remember who that was.

Any way, your vast knowledge kills me sometimes. My memory is probably fading quicker than it ought to be...

Crow Told Me

Hey now, baseball and the dead. Again, in the book "Playing in the Band" (I think) there is discussion about how the dead are a lot like baseball to some fans. Mainly it revolves around statistics. I have become more and more like a statistics dead fan. It talked about how some fans like to see when they played what, when they stopped playing something or when was the last time they played that. In the 1987 time frame I received 2 notebooks with the setlists of almost every show up until then, Of course, it was not complete. I am sure it later became the basis of deadbase. I bought the Deadbase for the 50th anniversary. Man, do I wear that thing out. It has so much information. I wish the money, time , effort could be placed into making that a digital relational database. I have pondered doing that myself but it would take thousands and thousands of hours. So glad the authors (heads) spent that time over years and years to put that all together. Cheers to you guys (John Stu and Mike and any others)!

Of course there is also that statistical info as it relates to Rush and their fanbase. Geddy Lee discusses somewhere, but have you aver seen Geddy's baseball memorabilia, wow. Think I saw it on the Big Interview (?) with Dan Rather on AXS tv.

Lastly, I too crank music and watch sports, killing 2 birds with one time allotment. Commentators are not as necessary as they used to be, picture being a thousand words of course.

This will scare the hell out of you!

Check out “The Haunting”(1963)
One of the best b/w bone chillers ever made. Julie Harris, Claire Bloom, Russ Tamblyn. No scary creatures visible. It’s all mental/psychological terror. What we conjure in our mind is more terrifying than reality. Enjoy and have a Grateful Day out there.

Bumper Sticker

There's a bumper sticker I see in these parts from time to time, "I hear banjo music"

Deliverance is a great movie.. watched it about five years ago for the first time in decades. I had forgotten how good a story it is. A lot of it is filmed on Section IV of the Chattooga river in Georgia, some is filmed on the neighboring Tallulah gorge too, I think. Both classic kayak runs.

Very little to do with the Grateful Dead except banjo music, they play the instrumental part of Bob Dylan's song Moonshiner on the guitar during a campfire scene and and there is a song called Fire on the Mountain in the movie. Jerry would approve of the soundtrack.

Eric Weissberg - Fire On The Mountain
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gM_ATbnpKew

Deliverance was loosely written on the Tallulah Gorge, completely dammed up, the water diverted in 1913 leaving the river completely dry until 1993 when a lawsuit by an organization called American Whitewater forced the power company to let water out once a year for recreation. Just for kicks and giggles, I am including a youtube of the biggest drop in the Tallulah Gorge, Oceana. At the top, all you see is a horizon line followed by the tops of trees far in the distance. A 150 foot slide with a 50' vertical drop and this feature called "The Thing" 2/3 of the way down. I I recall someone saying by the time you get to the bottom of the slide you are moving in excess of 30 mph. The second video is very short and shows the harder line.

Missing comments

Anyone else notice this is the second day of a lot of earlier comments in this forum are missing? Likewise the American Beauty 50th Forum.

Ok I'm putting Dave's 35 on the shelf with all it's brother Dave's after several listenings. As I do, I can't help calling attention one more time to that blistering Let it Grow.

Stay well, all.

I think i know what youmean, Oroborous

At least a week complete in a good mood.
I received the new Dave's I listened only once. It' s lock down again in France, and via Germany I grabbed a copy of American Beauty and 3 days later Working man' dead 50th.
I bought American beauty in vinyle, tape for the car , Cd, an a bit later the remaster with the bonus tracks and I don't pretend the dead has commercial intentions...
As I was expecting a port Chester boxset sooner or later I eventually got it
It took time to take the decision to buy the new copy. but it is Ok the sound is pretty good and the 2 concerts are top.
When I visited Us in 2002, I came back with a copy of Reflection I listened in the rent chevy in the wild west,with the beautiful Rowan Douglas Yonder, and Dick picks 7 I bought in San Diego. When I flew back to Europe I saw a student listening with a walkman a copy of American Beauty, likely a disk of his father, exactly what you need to stay in touch with your country and his cosmic cow boys. (Happy birthday)
This is the best disk the dead ever made in studio. a perfect disk for sunday morning. Obviously 20/20 was a good number for quarantine and I expect the new year with other good shows, and forgetting the sanitary situation.

YOU'RE FIRED!

Yes, the sun is shining brighter today Vguy.
:O)

The sun is just a teensy bit brighter today . . .

That's all.

And yet..

Pure genius

Really happy for this two…

Really happy for this two show release. It really is immersive and captures the energy of riding that big old wave that was an 80's show. However this isn't what I'm looking for from this series. The matrix and ultramatrix recordings can be wonderful and a ton of fun, but these recording just aren't all that great. Way too much crowd. Massive muddling midrange. Feels distant. Phil is pudding. And the drums are somewhere in there. Don't get me wrong. This release is fun and gives any uninitiated head a taste of what it was like on the floor. Just not what I was expecting or hoping for from the series.

Just nineteen more years . . .

until the 50th-anniversary version of Built to Last comes out! Which show from 1989 will Dave include in the box? :)

And Happy Birthday, Dave!! Love ya', man!

In my very humble opinion, I…

In my very humble opinion, I'd give this one a "B", but not even a "B+". Like many others, I'm not thrilled with the crowd noise and the overall mix. I have plenty of 80s cassettes that will deliver the same sound quality. Phil seems pretty lost in the mix, Bob's guitar comes and goes. I don't think the "Birdsong" comes close to "best ever." And, I keep waiting for a searing solo in "China Cat ... I Know You Rider" that never materializes. On the positive side, Jerry sings like he's fired up, and Brent is playing well. I'm sure this release was a labor of love for Dave, but maybe it's time to pass the baton to a new set of ears...? Change is good.

#8251...

...has blow into Edmonton AB along with beautiful blizzard. After waiting seven weeks for DaP 35 to show up, I didn't expect this to arrive so soon - mailed off early, and took about two weeks to arrive. Dug into the first show last night, found it lovely and lively. That Bird Song really took me on a journey. And of course went to bed humming Mighty Quinn. I'll concede the crowd's a bit loud at first, but it evens out after a couple tunes and everything really comes together.

The '80s are by no means my comfort zone, but Dave's done a good job at converting me with these last two releases.

I am a robot, but not willing to admit it.

Oroborous

To answer your questions:
1-Hey, we're still in love and in it for the long haul. I know she thinks I listen to too much Grateful Dead, and doesn't quite get the collecting thing. And for sure she occasionally reminds me that I can still be an a-hole. I bet there are some of you on this thread who can relate.
2-Peggy O is a mutual fave, and we have enjoyed it together at many a show.
3- NOT on purpose. I was pretty high and did a slow motion fall back into her lap while she was taking a breather. I found the experience pleasant, and she just stared. I read her mind.
4- The Math: I kept bumping into her on campus, and it took me a year to get up the nerve to ask her out to dinner.
Our first show together was Charlotte, 05/03/79. Long story short, we became an item, played house, and finally realized that everything was just exactly perfect, and the rest is history.

Edit: I guess this could be, in some way, a Grateful Dead Love Story.

BIGBROWNIE

That sound like a Hallmark TV movie. Get the screenplay to them. Best wishes.

On the way

USPS tell me my copy is in the UK so the delivery now depends on whether the powers that be decide to charge me.

On ‘that’ other topic I’d say that the time is right for dancing in the street, but with the pandemic I think it would be better to stay at home and stay safe. Let’s hope 2021 improves quickly.

Happy 50th Dave!

From one Ontario Deadhead to another Ontario Deadhead! Enjoy!

Ya’ll

PROUDFOOT: not sure which I like better, 2 mediums or Fat Albert doing West LA, LOL

VGUY: I believe it’s even a tad brighter on my back door?

SHEKYERBONES: glad yer getting the new tunes and digging them. Funny juxtaposition yesterday enjoying people literally dancing in the streets but worrying it’ll kill em...

BIGBROWNIE: Built to last mi amigo, built to last! Been happily unmarried for 23 years, not sure how she does it!
It’s so nice to see folks still in love after so long! Pretty cool how things work out sometimes....
Great story, thanks for sharing!

Two raises of the proverbial glass to you, sir

Received unnumbered copy for my sub

Hi there. Long time lurker, first time poster (I think?). So I have had a sub for a while and I always get two copies. This time, one of my copies of DP 36 was unnumbered, presumably a promo. I was not super happy to discover this and emailed Dead.net customer service right away, and got the familiar "We are overwhelmed with email and will get to you whenever" message.

Has anybody else had this happen and how did Dead.net resolve it? I mean, I paid for a subscription to limited edition releases. I normally keep one sealed as a collector's item, or sometimes resell it, but regardless - I don't think this is too cool. Between this and the speed correction issues on the last two releases, I'm considering not subscribing next year. :/

so on November 8, 1969...

...I was at The Forum In So Cal to see the Stones (Two Shows that night) for my 19th Birthday...also on the bill was Terry Reid, BB King and Ike & Tina Turner...where does the time go indeed...I turned 70 today...ouch....Rock On All

Welcome, Bolder, and Happy Birthday, Nappy!

That's all, folks.

Nappy Rags/ Happy Birthday

Happy birthday Nappy, you're a
cool guy. Those Stones shows you saw sound fantastic!

Great line up, Nappy

That tour when you saw them at 19 seems to be have been the one when they really clicked as a live band. Very confident, choosing to follow Ike and Tina Turner and B.B.King. They often had great bands or artists at their shows. The first time I saw them,though, they were supported by Cracker. Which doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

I see that my previous comment seemed to disappear.

I noticed that my previous comment in this forum was removed. That does not seem to be in keeping with what I thought was a warts and all free comment section.

Happy...

Happy BDay Napster.

Comments Disappearing

It seems to happen from time to time. Usually, but not always the result of cleaning up spam and sometimes they get a post or two that surrounds the spammer. I had a post disappear that had the word dose or dosed in it.

I'd take it as a badge of honor.

Missing posts

Sometimes it’s a reCRAPTCHA glitch.
It’s happened to me before. Took the reCRAPTCHA quiz and the whole page disappeared. When I reloaded the page the post was gone.

If your post was available for reading and then it disappeared, then it may have been scrubbed.

Bolderdash

Yes, the same happened to me. I've had one subscription for years, but I snagged an extra #32 (3-24-73 Spectrum) for a friend. One numbered copy arrived but a second never did. So i reached out to customer service and 4-6 weeks later an unnumbered copy arrived. I kept the numbered and gifted the un-one.

Dave’s Picks Print 1-36

First one I’ve seen on eBay, $1,500. I’ll sit this one out.

Still no Dave's 36 delivery in New York City?

As of 10/30 UPS tracking said that the package was transferred to a post office in the Bronx N.Y. where I live and would be delivered that very day but it still has not arrived. When I go to USPS tracking it says that they received "pre-shipment info" on 10/30 -- not the actual package. So there is a discrepancy between what UPS says and what USPS says.

So right now I am Sitting in Limbo!

Has anyone here in the New York area received Dave's 36?

As always my heart goes out to our long-suffering european friends and their postal dilemas.

Re:

I'm in the same boat in Maryland. It's been stuck in the label created ready to be shipped status for a week and a half.

Gonna get there... I don't know. Seems a common way to go.

I'm still not that worried but eventually I will have to take corrective actions on my own, which is always a bit of a pain.

5942 has arrived

In the Toronto area. No rhyme or reason as to how fast or slow these things show up, really up to the whim of the post office. Being retired, I do some part time work at the post office just to hang out with folks, and at all the stations I’ve been at, it is like an Amazon/Wayfair etc warehouse, about 75% of the volume (my guesstimate) packages. In all fairness, they do try getting this stuff out the door, but man, it is overwhelming, so I’m not surprised when packages sit.

I hope everyone gets delivery real soon.

shipping of fools

the old shipping blues

today is Monday

you will reCEIVE your Daves today! can I get an amen?

and

"I woke up this mo'nin'
No Daves been in my mail
I woke this mo'nin'
No Daves been in my mail

If it don't show up today
I'll jump around and flail"

I'm a regular Bob Dylan!

The waiting is the hardest part

Also waiting since 10/30 here in NJ. UPS says USPS has it. USPS says they are still waiting. I would pay extra for real shipping with real tracking.

RE: 71stang

I've read elsewhere online from other NJ residents how theirs are also missing. Same with me. It seems they're all on the same vehicle to be delivered to the post offices but that vehicle has gone MIA or is simply sitting in the same spot on their property. There's no telling when/if they will arrive to the correct post offices. I even noticed my tracking received a retro-active update on the 30th stating it was transferred. I call foul because the update was not there at 1:35pm on that day because I was checking it through the afternoon and did not see it until the evening that day. They're still in possession of them but I'm sure they'll deny it and we can't put in a claim with UPS either.

And I agree with you. I would gladly pay for shipping if it meant avoiding UPS mail innovations. The Bridgeport hub is a blackhole.
