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.

    9/16/78, I think.

    Yes Bolo, 3/28/81. Excellent show. It would be releasable, too, if it weren't for that meddling guest artist, Pete...Donaldson, is it?

    I was on record with initial…

    I was on record with initial disappointment, was really hoping for Pigpen era, but came around to these shows. I have heard plenty of good '87 shows and these shows look like good ones. The listening party sounds good, like some of the good tapes I had "back in the day," but better. One of my go-to China-Riders used to be Alpine '87 and I am hoping this version brings the goods like that one does.

    Lots of us cut our chops on late 80s Grateful Dead and they were good shows-- lots of good times were had by us all. Did we get huge 25 minute (or 45) Playing In the Bands? Nope, but we got nice, tight 12-minute Playings that explored some good areas without going into dissonant space and frequently heading into a nice UJB.

    So, we get here two shows of good In the Dark era GD. It isn't the 'Big Jam' GD, but the tight, focused GD that was happy to be playing with our man, Jerry Garcia, alive and clean. I am actually looking forward to these shows now.

    Good deal!

    I attended the three Alpine Valley '87 shows and they were top notch performances. Sadly Dave says the vaults tapes aren't all that great in fidelity. If a pristine record I g of the 1st night existed it would rank as one of the top tier of their 30 year run. Truly spectacular performance.

    The best recordings from this Alpine 87 run I've had were from the middle show. Opens with a great Aiko. A great Esau. Nice second set.

    Red Rocks 87 is an epic run. Throw in Telluride and Compton Terrace and that would make a spiffy box.

    Speedy Sell-Out, DR, DHB

    It is interesting that this sold out as fast as it did. Similar to the Giants Box (which I passed on, for what it's worth). Meanwhile, PNW '73-74 and June '76 are both still available and July '78 only recently sold out (all three of which I do have).

    Idk, DAVEROCK, I guess this becomes a philosophical question at a certain point. An example of a band still doing it live: Phish. If I only like them from "peak" years 93-99 and don't like anything they've done in the last twenty years - then do I really like them, after all?  Does someone like (love) their husband/wife if they only really like (love) them from their courting and honeymoon phase?  It also becomes a practical question: Should I subscribe to a series that is committed to releasing shows from the entire (roughly) 30-yr catalogue? 

    I like the way DEADHEADBREWER puts it, which maybe explains why I see things the way I do on this: It brings me back to a bygone era, as the series is basically annual GD B&P spread out quarterly, and I love it! I want the variety. (At the same time, I would still subscribe if it was a 66-75 series. Same if it was 76-85 and 86-95.)

    This looks like a amazing set. I always get excited when these Dave’s Picks come out. I’ve never been disappointed. I will be subscribing again for 2021. I’m sure it will be most excellent.

    I think these will be energetic, fun shows that I will listen to while working, or maybe while watching a game. Probably not shows for zoning out late at night with a buzz on.

    And thats okay.

    Not many other bands can deliver on both of those scenarios.

    It's all relatively relative ...

    … especially when we’re talking about music. With our relatives.

    I expressed some criticisms of this set earlier in this thread (excessive crowd noise, mainly), and I stand by them. But I’m glad it sold well, and I’m glad so many people are getting some joy out of this release. It ain’t a contest, people. You can like what you like, and I can like what I like, and we actually have a lot more in common than we have differences. Weird how some people get aggressive about this.

    “Taste great! Less filling! 1977! 1989!”

    There was a time when I wasn’t interested in any show that didn’t have Pigpen. That changed. Thankfully. Someday I might come around on these shows. Time will tell.

    Meanwhile, let's be nice.

    Also, I got to remember to subscribe for next year.

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!

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! :)
