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.

    Box sell outs

    Not only was Giants a lower number production run but it also came with video.

    (Dave, more video please).

    Don’t forget that GSTL crashed the website and immediately had to be released as an AME.

    Wonder how fast a Winterland October ‘74 (just finished listening to 10-18% from the soundtrack, don’t forget it’s the anniversary of the run) Box - Complete audio and video would sell out.
    Only one way to find out.

    Dave!
    Winterland October ‘74 Box, bring it on.

    Not sure who it was that mentioned listening to the Scarlet into Fire jam twice in a row, but it motivated me to go back and re-listen to that one and wow. Jerry was really on fire.

    I absolutely love that run. I think, not unlike spring '87, March '93 saw the band very much revitalized after necessary hiatus. There's of course the excellent show finale with Nordine on 3/11, but 3/10 might even be better. Ooh, and there's that (final) Mind Left Body jam out of Corrina.

    At any rate, regarding box sales: We should also note that the Giants Box was limited to 10k copies, whereas the others released were 15k and 12k, respectively. For example: July '78 (15k), PNW '73-74 (15k), and June '76 (12k). RFK '89 - which I think is a sweet little box, no doubt - is also still available (at 15k).

    So the Giants speedy sale and sell out may simply be a function of the more limited production.

    First, thanks Dave and team!!! There are those of us who are extremely appreciative of your efforts in identifying and prepping these shows for release.

    At least four times a year, we all get to enjoy new music by the band we love. At a time in our country where everything leads with the negative and conflict, it's nice to have a positive light shine every now and then.

    Personally, I love the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s Dead, so in the future can you please be sure to choose shows from those decades for future releases?

    Thanks!

    That Shakedown, let me tell ya'... Weir was playing from the astral mothership for that one... and then oh how it glistens into something truly special.....

    There are some spectacular '85 shows and the boards are fabulous. So I can't help but think there's a box release coming at some point.

    Its True...All of it.

    I have been reading through the comments, but have yet to comment myself. Reviewing both the pros and cons of this particular release I do see the merit on most. On the con side of things, I can understand that maybe this selection of shows are not quite as good as other shows from 1987. I can also understand why some would want a release from an entirely different year.

    On the pro side of things these are definitely high energy shows. The backdrop of Jerry's return certainly is in play here. From what I have already heard these shows were played well. And of course anytime we get 2 complete shows that is always a bonus.

    Overall I feel like the pros far outweigh the cons. Now to my personal tastes, I am still slightly disappointed this wasn't a 1985 show, but I mean only slightly. On a side note, I have been relistening to the 6/30/85 show which is quickly becoming one of my all time favorite shows. Back to the point, I am always willing to give any Grateful Dead show a try. Even more so I think it is good that I listen to shows that I have not heard or to spend time listening to shows from years I don't normally listen too. I like the fact the Dave L will sometimes select an under the radar show as a release as it gives me chance to hear something that otherwise I may not have sought out. I am looking forward to this release and it's going to be fun spinning these shows soon.

    Now since we do know that TPTB do watch over these forums, I will once again say thank you to Dave L and the whole crew. I really appreciate every release and as soon as the link goes up for the 2021 Dave's Picks subscription, I am signing up again.

    And now for my shameless plug for hopeful future releases:
    6/30/85 (please!)
    Any other 1985 summer show
    10/18/72
    10/31/91
    9/17/70, 9/18/70, 9/19/70, 9/20/70 (make it a box set, its OK that the 1970 box comes out in 2021 instead of 2020)
    10/11/83 (make it a matrix)
    1/24/71 (my obscure show selection)
    I can't remember but did I mention a 1985 show???

    Cant wait for the 10/30 Shakedown Stream. Hope they show the drums with Billy Cobham. That was never on any releases I have seen since USA network showed it in 1982.

    I'm sure Rhino marketing noticed that both the Pacific Northwest and June 76 box sets haven't sold out, July 78 took years to sell out, yet the Giant Stadium box sold out rather quickly, so the shift to 80s releases makes commercial sense.

    Apples and oranges. The band was always evolving and what helped fuel their longevity. For Eighties GD, it was all about the groove and Brent flourished wonderfully in that mode.

    Love the art work on this. When I enlarged the image I literally yelled out 'That's it!' Can we get a print? My favorite since the DaP Albuquerque release.

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!
