    "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.

    This release is a keeper. I like all the eras. It's nice to get such an enjoyable 1987 release. I've listened to both shows twice now. For a two track recording, these shows have some of the best instrument mixing I've heard. Most instruments are present, with Brent missing or a little low at times. Jerry plays some mean guitar solos throughout both nights. Bobby has his odd chord phrasing. Phil is booming. The audience gives it a great "you are there" feel. I will listen to this release many times in the years to come, it is so enjoyable.

    awesome links and awesome posts, thanks everyone, good stuff and very interesting reads about Dr. Don, what a guy and I think I might have met him at a show in 94, he always had a big smile on his face. RIP Don, you were the man.

    Next year's box set

    Hopefully a big one from 1969, or a combination one from 1967, 1968 & 1969. Hopefully, they will release the full Winterland Oct 1974 run with audio and video, that would sell out in minutes, a complete knockout! I'll take any or all of the above for box sets.

    Finally decided to go through the Winterland 1973 box for the first time. It came out when I was switching careers and had young kids . . . there are quite a few releases from that period of my life that are still unopened . . .

    Anyway, in reading the Winterland '73 booklet yesterday, I noticed that the box was dedicated to none other than the same Don Pearson who has been mentioned recently here. Must've been a good person.

    Thanks Gary & Jeff

    for the geek fest! That’s the stuff! Most interesting content I’ve read here in years!
    Cool to still learn more about all this even after all these years.
    Always wished there was a more advanced version of Grateful Dead Gear, perhaps my favorite Dead book lol.
    Gary, please post more if you find it, especially interested in more specifics of “ultra-matrix”.
    I had assumed he/someone had mixed the SBs and mic sources after the fact like a true matrix, which imho, when done properly, is the best way to experience this music, not so much for the crowd noise, but for the more natural sounding room ambiance...for the way the music sounds! But again, it has to be done right...
    Hadn’t realized Don had passed, May the four winds blow him safely home!
    Goes to show there is no such thing as routine surgery...
    Had the pleasure to talk to Don, Dan, and Howard over the years, (Candace too) and got to crawl around under the stage with Howard at the one and only show 7/1/92 that I got to work production. Not only were these guys ridiculously knowledgeable, they were very nice and totally approachable when appropriate.
    The vast majority of Deadheads have no clue just how dedicated and innovative they were, or how complex and cutting edge the systems were.
    A true match made in heaven for a gear head like myself. The best band with the best gear/sound, EVER!
    As a lad, the equipment influenced me as much as the music, and both led to my lifelong love and participation, as well as often my employment, in and around music. We used to go front row whenever possible for a chance to see the gear and experience the real sound of the instruments more than to simply be closer to the band. It was like going to school. Can’t even fathom how much I’ve learned (and unfortunately forgotten) from this wonderful scene and people over the years.
    Thanks so much to all the hard working Folks from all facets involved for giving us “the best they had to give”

    Cool! If I got one, my dog would track mud etc over it in no time. I’d rather put it in the centre of the floor, and like NHL etc teams have in their dressing room, no one can step on it, out of respect!

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!
