    "And with this incredibly tight batch of prime 1987 Grateful Dead, we’re thrilled to bring you Dave’s Picks Vol. 36, matching the number that will be forever tied to Dick’s legacy. 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.

    So what's the Deal with the books?

    Always looking forward to new releases. I got the Hartford Whalers reference, but what's up with the books? I know there is or was insurance companies based in Hartford and United Technologies has a bunch of facilities out there, don't get the book reference. I went back a few pages but the vitriol that's been keeping me away is still present.

    Stay safe, wear a mask and vote! This Darkness Got To Give

    And if you're not checking out Bobby's FANs releases on his birthday, you should...

    More releases please!!!

    If you've paid for a subscription and you don't like the shows Dave puts out, I get it, but the formula has been pretty well set. Criticism is fine. I hear what you are saying. No problem. Not every show they put out ranks # 1 for me and some don't get much replay. But, if you really are upset, don't subscribe and take a chance on buying single shows when they come out. With the new 22,000 limit, it's worked for me. Also, don't we all have plenty of great GD from each era already? (NO WE DO NOT - Dave's Picks has definitely dropped some surprise gems on me and I do want more of that!)

    I've seen the Stones and JGeils live more than the GD but I don't need 100+ live shows of those bands. There were some great shows, I had a blast, but both see themselves as entertainers and put on a good show - meaning every show is an identical copy of the previous one, every solo is the same - or pretty close.

    The GD as we know were a whole different deal. If they played Bird Song in '89 the same as they played it in '73, then truly they would have been a cover band. For me, the circumstances decide on what GD I want to crank up. Some times call for a deep dive into some spacey '73 or some hard charging '72. Some times call for cracking some beers and blasting some '87 or '89 coliseum GD with Jerry ripping on the Tiger. They wrote some great songs late career that I want to hear. I wish this was the worst problem we had. Be safe - be well. Let the music play. Thank Dave! Keep 'em coming!

    This has gone pretty much as expected. Dave explains in the video why the show is worthy and acknowledges his bias since he was an attendee and it was his first show. What more do people expect?

    This to me is more exciting than a '77 show. I love '77 but we have almost every show now. The more I hear '87 the more I like it. And I love the Pig era, but how many 20 minute good lovins with Pig doing the same ol rap - get yo hands outta yo pockets - do we need?

    Nice to see some new ground being covered. To clear up a few things:

    Other003 - No one has said anything about 50 Dave's Picks. You just made that up. How about having some basis for saying something like that before you put it out there?

    Joshua - The crowd noise is not fake. Its mixed in from other recordings of the same show.

    Hi guys. I haven't posted in awhile so it is nice to be back.

    I am pumped for these two. After all, the last '87 we got was the Giants Stadium show which I loved! I was at the 3/26 show. (Could not make both since we had a 1 year old at home and I could not abandon the wife for 2 nights!) Loved the Midnight Hour opener and the China > Rider was killer. Quinn as the encore was great!

    I will not preach to anyone, but I am grateful for something new & different. The last matrix release in the DaP series was excellent. I love to hear the audience some! Really adds to the ambiance. If you don't want these shows just pass them on. You will have no problem selling them on ebay if you wish. But let's all stay friendly & respectful.

    Rock on

    Love the pick!

    It amazes me how aggressive people can be to each other on this board. I have a friend who swears you can tell who is voting for who by how narcissistic and combative they tend to be, even in general discourse over a pleasant topic like music.

    I trust Dick's ear and love whatever he's serving up. Yes, I'm a '73, '77, '72, '70 fan (in that order), but I love the diversity. 2 80's DP's on a row? Awesome. 2 shows in one "DaP"? AWESOME AWESOME. (So technically 3 80's shows in a row). 2 "Esau's" in consecutive picks, YES! Uncle John's >Morning Dew Jerry two-fer? YES! "Push Comes to Shove"? - well ya gotta eat your vegetables.....

    Happy for Spacebro and RV3 (is he still lurking?) for the 1-2 punch of 80's DP's.. You've earned it!

    Can't wait to get this and give it a spin!

    The sick looking whales are a tribute to the WHA/NHL Hartford Whalers hockey team that used to play in the building. Great logo and supported by a smaller city, sad that they were whisked away for the almighty dollar.

    Hartford is known for being the insurance capital of the world, not sure how books come into play.

    Thanks for two more shows. To the judges/experts who wish to share their self-important critiques about the shows about to be released, thanks for sharing. I’m sure others on this board can’t wait for your next review so they can make an “informed choice”. From me to you, f**k off.
    Thanks for the shows Dave. Let the music play.

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.

It arrived about a week ago. Just listening to it for the first time tonight. This is some really good stuff.

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! :)
