    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.

    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7rq9OvaJyRc. The Dead covered this song 12 times, I think they did a great job. I never saw James Brown, my brother saw him once and said he put on a killer show.

    Limbo & The Heavy Lifting

    Thanks for doing the heavy lifting and getting us some info on what's up with the "Limbo" of missing Dave's 36. Regarding the Great Vault Robbery: That could be a really cool off-beat movie or sketch comedy like say Sean of the Dead. Imagine Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure meets Harold and Kumar with special guest appearances by Cheech and Chong like Ocean's Eleven. They team up to free the tapes from the vault. Awesome, totally awesome!!! Jeff Spicoli? An all star cast! Who else can we get?

    I smell franchise bucks$$$$$ -- and reefer.

    I sent an email to the good doctor a couple days ago.. Something is stuck. They must be pissed about my making a tunnel under the vault and freeing the reels comments.

    There is a very good chance there is a giant warehouse snafu and they are scratching wondering what the hell to do...

    Audience Levels

    I'm still not clear whether Healy's manipulation of the crowd volume is the final product, or if there was further adjustment during final production. That's my only real gripe about this release.
    I truly love the content of these discs, and the highlights for me are Mighty Quinn, and Jerry's geetar playing during the first set of 3/27.

    Ultra Matrix, Matrix SBD, or what?

    We kinda beat this horse a couple of weeks ago, and not sure if we'll ever get a definitive answer. Gary's post today got me to poking around some more. I found out that Donald Pearson was actually a sound engineer for the Grateful Dead (among others). Also, the sources cited for "soundboard" recordings for 3/26 and 3/27 on the Archive all indicate "Ultra Matrix" (Charlie Miller uses the term "Matrix Soundboard" a couple of times). And I can't remember who posted the link to Rob Eaton's comment (Thanks again!), but he seems to bring the confusion into better focus:

    Rob Eaton: "Let me clarify a point on the Ultra Matrix Tapes that started in late 86. There was a pair of AKG 414s mounted in the front of the board on a rail that allowed the pair to move left or right depending on the center position. After these mics were plugged into the Ultra Box they created a 3D audience image. The SBD or Healy’s mix also ran into the Ultra Box. There was a delay control for the SBD feed to time-align it with the M/S [AUD] mics. Each “room” was different, but at 200 feet, the time difference is measurable. There was also a control for the blend between the 2 sources. The early ultra mixes were 50/50. They eventually ended up with more of a 70/30 ratio… Hope that helps."

    Having arrived in the UK on 7th November, my DaP #36 has arrived at my house. I don’t think that they walked from Heathrow to Merseyside but they could have done in that time. No demand for money either which means I‘ve had two this year without paying any extra. Should be able to listen to it early next week.

    Play it Phucing Loud!

    B the K - I just love how strong Dylan and his pickup band cut into that “Maggie’s Farm” from Newport! Reminds me of his on stage banter with the heckler in Manchester, who had called Dylan “Judas!!”, to which Dylan responded by turning to the Band, telling them to “Play It Phucing Loud!”, leading to the most raucous version of “Rolling Stone”!
    I’ve seen Dylan umpteen times, and the most he ever spoke while I attended was a quick remark in Syracuse about the passing of Walter Cronkite. Sometimes, the music does all the talking, like Newport.

    Marin Smith / Villiage Music

    Marin, Villiage Music was a great store, if you go to their website it looks like you can still make appointments to visit their wharehouse. Checkout the list of people who have visited the store over the years, it's amazing. I've never been to Rancho Nicasio, but I've heard of it, bbq on the lawn , that's right up my alley. I really don't go anywhere anymore, except the grocery store or the post office, because of the virus.. Speaking of bbq , we used to go to Everette & Jones over in Berkeley on San Pablo ave, they have some good bbq. I used to go there after seeing the Dead at the Greek. We used to go to the original Freight & Salvage on San Pablo ave to see , Peter Rowan, Frank Wakefield & David Nelson, John Fahey, Kate Wolf, lots of different musicians, afterward we would go down the street to get bbq at Everette & Jones at 1am , good times. Down Home Music in El Cerrito is a good record store. You mentioned The Sons of Champlin & Asleep at the Wheel, those are two great bands.

Yes.. you are not losing your mind.. there must have been an error or mishap at some point in the supply chain and there apparently more than a few who have not received their DaP 36's yet. My guess is that they are having more made.

Send a PM to MaryE. That's probably your best advice. I bet they make you whole hopefully soon.

I too have not received my DaP36. I had an address change, notified customer service a month+ ago that I hadn't received it. Still nothing. Any help appreciated (Marye?)

Happy New Year everyone.

I once received the Treasure Trove of soundboards from one of the good guys here, and there was so much on it and I had so many commercial releases to still go through that it took me a long time to really get into them.

Then a couple of years ago, I don't know if you remember a guy on here known as wjonjd - he used to be a regular but I guess has moved on. Anyway, he once wrote the following to me about 12/31/72, which I just dug out of email archives by doing a search on the show date:

The Truckin'-Other One-Morning Dew sequence has to be one of the greatest jams of absolute all time. Simply fuckin' mind blowing. I remember turning on someone to the Dead in school, lending him that tape. A couple of days later he asked me, "Where does that come from? Where do you think the inspiration to keep creating like that comes from?"

So of course I immediately queued it up, and what I wouldn't do to have a Full Norman copy of the show. It's been my favorite New Year's Eve show ever since, with Cow Palace '76 coming in as a close second.

Since DaP36 only tied the DP series, shouldn't DaP37 be celebrated as much as #36 since it's the tie-breaker?

What about a mirror image release?

DaP36 = 4 CDs / 2 shows / '87 = '78 \ 2 shows \ 4 CDs = DaP37...in the video for #37, Dave L. seemed to be unusually vague and a little giddy as far as the bonus material. It would be a great way to start the 10th year!

Or has this been announced already? If so sorry.

I hope all are well.

Yes, KF.. Wonjonjd was last seen digging a tunnel 37 feet below the vault in a last ditch, vain attempt to free the master reels for 6/9&10/73 RFK. On the bright side, I hear ZuckFun has escaped and is laying low in an undisclosed location. Many thanks to whoever freed him.

Rumor has it wjon has been enslaved by Rhino and answers customer service calls 19 hours a day.

Sad. Someone needs to tell his wife and kids his hardship was not in vain.

DaveStrange - The "mirror image" release for #37 won't happen, because the bonus disc is for the second release of the year, which will be #38 ( 9/8/73 Nassau Coliseum). The extra material is an hour + from the previous night, Sept. 9th. I listened to my audience recording of that show the day before they announced what #38 was going to contain, and it's a stellar show!

I think it would be similar to last year: #s 33 & 35 were 3 disc releases, #34 had the bonus disc and #36 was 2 shows. This year could be #37 is 2 shows, #38 would have the bonus disc, and #s 39 & 40 would be 3 disc releases.

I realize this would only occur for milestone releases like #s 36 & 37, and in the future for DaP100 (!) if the series is still going. I know the odds for another 2 show release are mighty slim, but you can always hope, wish and dream right?

With about 90 min from another show on this tour, likely to be announced in the video, which should come out around next Friday or thereabouts. Glad there's filler, been annoyed at 2 of the '78 DaPs having very short 2nd discs and no filler, with plenty of good material laying there for use. But filler is also very good because it sometimes produces some of the best material of a release. I just finished my first complete listen to DaP 35 and I'm very thankful for the filler from the night before. I found it to be the best part of the release, the Scarlet Fire was good, too, but the filler is pretty darn good. Being a beggar does prevent me from being a chooser as well as I'm hoping the filler on DaP 37 is not from 4/12/78, which was surely the best thing to ever happen in that pit of hell Cameron Indoor Stadium, and that that show is released in its entireity since I imagine it was part of the returned Bettys. That should be several years worth of DaPs down the road before hitting April '78 again, 3 is pretty high already and no Fall 1972 since DaP 11 and Hofheinz were released in 2014, but hope that Duke show can come out sometime, it is spectacular. Incredible energy, as evidenced in the video on the youtubes https://youtu.be/I_zD1_J5eYs Not every day you see Jerry doing Townshend-like windmills. Though if anybody else witnessed Jerry doing windmills at other shows, I'd love to hear about it.

On Vol 35 they printed my address and phone number wrong... only got that one b/c I happened to run into the mailman wandering in the neighborhood looking for where to deliver it (I'm a westerner in China.. and he wandered up to me asking if I knew the person with the foreign name...). He said it was the third time they sent him out to deliver it...

I know it's old hat to complain about their shipping services.. but come on guys...

Does anyone know why I have received another copy of Dave's 36? It arrived in the mail yesterday with no shipping notification. On the back of it, where the edition numbers are usually listed, it says "Hindsight is 2020 limited edition: 92/300". I haven't actually listened to it yet but it looks exactly the same as the first one I got.

I’m running out of patience after emailing four or five different email addresses (Dr. Rhino, wig, etc.) for the past five months now about a missing Dave’s 36. I have yet to even receive a “we received your email.” But yet they are allowed to continue selling product? Any ideas on how I can rectify this?

I received mine Friday from the 300 run. I am really enjoying this right now, as times have been tough, and the matrix sound I like. The mix has brought my spirit up, so I won't dwell on the service. Billfgrady it was sent without notice, so you should be getting yours any day.

I finally got to listen to the first show (yeah, I'm way late, I know). I was floored! Once you get past the obligatory 80's fodder like "Push Comes To Shove" and "My Brother Esau", it is SOLID throughout. Even Looks Like Rain is tolerable. Gee, who knew? As always, go Brent!
