    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.

    John Lennons comment...

    ..about the fact that there was nothing before Elvis was made from the perspective of a white middle class English teenager in the 1950s. As such, it is unlikely that he would have heard black rhythm and blues. When we are teenagers, we have little sense of the history of music, from whence it came. So I could say that before T.Rex there was nothing. Picture me at 14 in 1971 watching Top of the Pops on T.V.-and T.Rex coming on. I didn't know anything about where this came from-but for me it started there. They are a long way from my favourite band now-but back then..

    Going back to the historical perspective, I still haven't heard heard any records from 1954 or earlier that sound remotely like the ones Elvis cut that year. Their are elements of his sound in some Hank Williams records, maybe, and Carl Perkins claims to have welded country and blues before hearing Elvis-but on records that I have heard, music seemed to exist in specific genres-blues, country, gospel, folk whatever until Elvis lit the fuse.

    Its also been said that Chuck Berry did a similar thing to Elvis, mixing blues and country and coming up with rock n' roll, but that he came form a blues background. Very different, from say, Howlin' Wolf, who arguably rocked harder than either, but did so without assimilating cultures outside the blues.

    The Dead carried on this tradition of combining elements from different cultures-they didn't start it.

    Elvis?

    Elvis being given the credit for "beginning" rock n roll is the essence of white washing. He was so controversial because he brought black music to young white kids on national level. Making something popular with the white crowd does not make it a "beginning." Only a beginning for white culture, which often prominently claims their learning of something, even if it isn't "new" is the start of its greatness. Think the "New World" as your prime example...it wasn't "new" nor undiscovered, nor crappy before they arrived. :) Credit where credit is due. If Elvis didn't pick up on rock n roll it might not have found a white audience as easily or quickly but rock n roll would still exist without him.

    To me the Dead are the ultimate band because they fuse together both styles of Americana music, black heritage and white heritage to make something truly unique. Hell they even weave in a bunch of esoteric references to natives and other cultures. GD music is the melting pot of genuine American music and Elvis was a highly marketable knock off and appropriation of authentic culture. Fine I'll say it Elvis was NOT the "King." ;)

    Not to mention no ones really mentioned how big an influence jazz was on the early dead,s idea of improv, playing, and then eventually that wonderful 73 sound, not to mention their righteous appreciation for the musicians. I dont know who'd be on my Mt. Rushmore of Rock n roll. But the very idea that I'm building a monument on top of a sacred native mountain in the Black Hills of South Dakota for a bunch of white dudes some of whom were slave holders seems odd to say the least.

    If rock n roll is truly from the people and the music of outlaws, the monument to its beginnings is made of earth and wood hidden down some backwoods haunt sitting in the late full moonlight on a Summer's evening with a smell of smoke in the air and sounds of laughter.

    Hey Jim / Mt Rushmore

    Hey Jim, I dig your post of Mt. Rushmore with Hendrix and Garcia, very cool! I heard Wavey Gravy doing an interview once, where he was talking about who would be on the Mt. Rushmore of freaks, and he said, Ken Kesey, Neal Cassidy, Allen Ginsberg, and Jerry Garcia, that's where I got the idea for the Rock & Roll Mt. Rushmore.

    Earlier please, Steven Foster, John Phillip Sousa, Al Jolson. ALL "Pop" music. Not sure what would have counted before that? Seems Foster needs to be the beginning, if you think of popular music as the "songs" that were on the peoples lips of the day. Whaling songs?

    Do some research & open your mind

    Anyone who believes rock and roll could have happened without black culture, black music, African rhythms and much, much more, simply hasn’t done enough digging. Music has been transforming and growing since the first note was played. Finding a singular voice is where the true innovators come in. We don’t need a Mt. Rushmore, or even a Hall Of Fame. We need textbooks, encyclopedias and libraries, to hold the incredible volume of written history that I feel so lucky to have read just a tiny sliver of.

    Music is the best!!

You’re making a fine and productive use of your retirement time.

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!

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! :)
