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'.

    Limited to 22,000 numbered copies, this one has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman and is guaranteed to sell out.

    *2 per order. Very limited quantity available.

    Here is one that came up yesterday for a Merl Saunders & the Rainforest Band with a fresh Charlie Miller 48k transfer:

    Thanks for the Jerry heads-up

    I'm on this G-L 15 like white on rice! I love Jerry band releases and never miss one. It's always groovy, tokin' music and fun setlists AND Jer seems always to be having a good time -- probably a great way to relax and play music outside the sometime pressure-cooker of the GD.

    Got a whole winter's worth of Jer band to listen to and have discovered numerous unofficial CD-R'd Jer shows in my files, plus, um, I'd guess maybe 300 GD shows, so.....

    On the incoming front, I've got Angel's Share American Beauty (downloaded and burned by a friend), the (2) '87 shows, another GarciaLive (No. 15) and Hendrix at Maui -- pretty good fourth quarter haul.

    Now, tell me that DaP 37 is from fall '72 and that DaP 38 is four discs of 6-10-73 and I'll just kick up my heels (about 1/4" above the ground at this point).

    The Wall Song

    ...ask and ye shall receive. Listened to this last night, it's pretty jazzy:

    https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/jerry-garcia-wall-song-li…

    Looking forward to this Jerry release. You know there is jamming galore when there are only 4 songs on side B.

    I have a copy of the original Wall Song from a Grateful Dead hour many years ago - it included several minutes of extra jamming we were told vs. the version released on the album. That was always a great expanse, and I love Crosby's acoustic (12 string?) he plays on that tune.

    The Wall Song - GarciaLive Vol 15

    A really interesting inclusion of this David Crosby tune on Jerry’s newest release. Jerry, Phil, and Bill all played on the original, and I always thought it was one of Phil’s unrecognized masterpieces, with an extremely prominent bottom end. A very trippy tune, and one of the better ones from the wonderful crossover Dead/Airplane/Crosby recording sessions of the day. How this will sound on this release without the bass (no John Kahn), just Jerry’s guitar, Merl on Organ, and Bill Vitt on drums, will be intriguing, but these Garcia family releases never disappoint (neither did the Pure Jerry series, but that is a whole other kettle of fish!). Looking forward to this one from 1971, when JG was at the apex of his creativity.

    KeithFan That Dark Star

    ....I was in fact just listening to that one the other day and once again simply marveled at how Keith took the reins on that Dark Star jam, totally leading the charge on the pie-aner. It's utterly glorious. I don't mind the Sittin' that hitched a ride, it was actually a pretty clean and cool transition. Keith-addage made this band turn that proverbial corner and they never looked back.

    Good Call.

    P.S. I hear you GFar, life has been nutso, I mean it's 2020 dumpsterfire each and every day right? The 3 tots are making their way, the only way they know how - and that's just a little bit more than the law will allow.

    Earthquake in the Phil Zone

    Anniversary date of Dave's Picks Volume 3, 1971. Disc 3 contains bonus tracks from the night before, featuring Keith Godchaux's first Dark Star. It's great, he comes through loud and clear on the stand-up piano. I don't think they managed to fit a grand or baby grand onstage until '72. You'd think he'd been playing with them for years. There's a Sitting on Top of the World in the middle (personally, I like to crossfade the two Dark Star parts together for a solid 17 minute classic '71 performance (and this is one of the better ones from that year).

    There's also a little bit of organ in there on a few tracks of this show (a rarity for Keith).

    And Phil is a bit up in the mix - always nice to see what he's going to come up with. He really learned the shit out of that bass quickly.

    This has nothing to do with anything Dead related, just felt like kvetching. Ordered a Doors box set weeks before release date. I live in Central Maryland. On Oct. 9th(John Lennon’s 80th Birthday), my package goes from Lexington, KY to Pittsburgh PA. It’s getting closer, right?? After 4 days, no further scans, but is “en route to next destination “. Nothing more for 8 days, and today, It’s in Los Angeles, CA. Any guesses as to whether I’ll EVER see this thing??
    Garcia Live 15 looks VERY exciting!!

    5/21/71 AMAZING stuff here. This is Primal Jerry the odd thing is, John Kahn was absent from this show however Martin Fierro sat in. This show has a Reconstruction feel to it.

Does that Urdu advertisement say anything about the automatic bath and maintenance equipment going on sale for Black Friday?

Urdu is a language predominantly spoken by muslims whose holy day is Friday. I don't know for sure but I suspect this could have a detrimental impact on Black Friday shopping sprees.

Great prices, be sure to read the fine print though.. shipping from Rawalpindi and Islamabad can be a real budget breaker.

Give these folks some credit for understanding and leveraging a deadheads strong passion for cleanliness and personal hygiene. Marketing geniuses to be sure, once they figure out the subtleties of matching the countries they advertise in with the languages commonly spoken in these countries, they are sure to dominate the global automatic bathroom market. Business tycoons in the making and a great stock tip to help your 401k, you heard it first here at dead.net, watch and learn Jim Cramer.

What's the best show to listen to when contemplating the finer points of bathroom automation? Binghamton perhaps, a little over an hours drive from Bath NY. Four shows played in Binghamton from 1970 to 1983.

05/02/70- Harpur College - Binghamton, NY
11/06/77- Broome County Arena - Binghamton, NY
05/09/79- Broome County Arena - Binghamton, NY
04/12/83- Broome County Arena - Binghamton, NY

Edit: this post is going to look pretty silly when they purge this thread of the aforementioned bathroom automation spam written in Urdu.

about household baths is a dirty job, but someone has to do it!
Good work!
Speaking of automated toilets...in many of the mansions we work in there are automatic toilets, some costing thousands of dollars. The GCs generally don’t let us riffraff use the toilets, especially the expensive automated ones. So my old working partner had this thing about poaching toilets, especially if specifically told not to do so lol.
He became quite adept at it including the use of let’s say the worlds greatest female skiers master bath LOL (can’t name names due to NDAs etc)

BINGOTOWN, woohoo 4/12/83 first show tripping (in first row!)

EDIT: I believe they can be customized with gold trim

Has anyone else gotten their copy of GarciaLive 15? I got mine about a week ago. Someone asked how I got so soon, no idea. Then today I got an email say it will mailed in 9 day!?!?! Odd?

Update on the download front for AB - Angel Share. Still no word!

BTW - Garcia Live 15 is alright. The Keystone Korner Jam was very nice. Has Martin Fierro on sax on several cuts, I always enjoy when he sits in.

If I don't type again till after Bird-Day, hope everyone has a good one. Got 25 lbs of young tom waiting to be rubbed and baked, followed by a good basting and baking of said cook.

Enjoy

Funny you mention about Garcia 15, I was wondering the same thing. I’m glad you got yours. Nothing here, but tracking said mine just left New Jersey, and as I’m in the Toronto area, it will sit at customs until it is Garcia 17. Looking forward to it, the two tunes I’ve heard were incredible. The Garcia family has done a great job on this series, offering up stellar shows (but I liked the Pure Jerry series too)!
Happy (early) Thanksgiving to all of you celebrating this week! You have all endured this horrible pandemic, a tough national election, and some tough economic times. You deserve a great time with family and friends.

Hi All,

Still no DP36 for me in California. I have contacted the customer service twice and they said they would get something shipped out from warehouse, but it has been almost two weeks and no notice of a new shipment. This one hasn't gone down well for me.

Does anyone know if there is still a Dr Rhino? Can someone share contact email for Dr Rhino?
Feeling like that is the next step. Customer service calls don't seem to be getting me anywhere.

Did other people who were still waiting a week or two ago in US get their cds ?

U.S.P.S. tracking had my Dav36 on 10/30 at a post office in The Bronx N.Y. -- where I live. And then. . .. nothing for weeks! No information was updated during those weeks. It finally arrived 11/17 without a delivery notification email alert. I see you are in California and Daves are routed through Carlsbad Ca. Go figure? Good luck!

A just exactly perfect Daves

At some point Thanksgiving morning, our boys now always ask about when we're going to listen to Alice's Restaurant. Makes me proud.

Here in the Twin Cities we have a group of musicians who re-create most of The Last Waltz live each year. They dress up and do all the stage banter and it's great fun. They used to do it Thanksgiving weekend, but more recently they've moved it to other times of the year, when folks aren't out of town.

For those of you who are annoyed by such, I suggest the 9/19/70 Dark Star.

Happy Turkey Day to all. After the feast, we pop in Christmas Vacation. Always funny and never gets old.

Last Waltz - Acadian Driftwood is a vastly underrated song and should have been included in the movie.

Contacted the store about three times now with the same automated response after they had to replace my original order. If I ever see the light of day with this package that would make my year but seriously just so disappointing to see this from Warner Music >:(. Otherwise, very grateful for everything and everyone on here, y'all rock! :)
