    "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.

    My Mt. Rushmore of Rock & Roll

    Here is my Mt. Rushmore of Rock & Roll, Grateful Dead, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and Chuck Berry. I know, I left some heavyweights off the mtn. (Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan) but I only had 4 choices and I'm going with those 4.

    ...Holly Bowling....man, she is inspiring! Her 'Wilderness Sessions' were nothing short of spectacular; the settings, the majesty, the f'n JAMMING on piano in and out of GD and Phish, she is a true talent in her craft. Wildly recommend checking out her stuff if you haven't already; as an example:

    Anybody ever catch these guys?

    John K on guitar and vocals
    Jay Lane on drums
    Reed Mathis on bass and vocals
    Jeff Chimenti on organ

    I caught a show at the end of '18 in a small venue at Martyr's in Chicago and had a blast.

    I find things I like in most of the modern incarnations.. It's easy to be critical and there was a terrific void to fill. I am content in seeing the torch still burning and really do enjoy what Phil is doing/has done, D&C, Furthur and others.. JRad and DSO serve a need without any surviving members in their bands. Hollie Bowling serves a need. What Warren has done. It's a richer world with GD music and it's great to see new artists add to the pudding. It still seems fresh after all these years.

    Can't wait for live music to return!

    I concur heavily with all that has been touted and said of appreciation regarding Further. And hell, DSO is up there too, I caught many a show when they were in their original/JK form. Some of the best "Dead" shows I ever caught. I recall seeing them up in Hamptom Beach, NH many years ago and they played a killer show from summer '76....I was in heaven.

    Oro, your last line in there sums it up perfectly, and we should all feel proud and satisfied in so many ways - not withstanding holding up the tent poles for so long to keep allowing new folks to discover the hidden circus inside.

    Be Well People.

    Furthur More

    If pressed I’d have to say I liked them the best outta all the wonderful post JG units I was fortunate to experience; Furthur Fest bands, the Other Ones, Phil & Phriends, The Dead, Furthur, D&C etc..
    seeing Phil early on at the Denver Philmore was besides awesome, reassuring and reaffirming; yeah Jer Bear was gone and it was never gonna be the same, but the music would live on! And all those groovy old school tunes I either saw brief, later years versions, or never saw at all, were a fine consolation. But something about Furthur really moved me, literally to tears the first time I saw them at Broomfeild. It felt like a band, and no disrespect to anyone, but like The Who and others “legacy” bands have learned, there’s something about having a young guy on the skins that gives the whole band more life imho...Molo was fine, but Joe felt better.
    And Totally what DHBrewer said, only we were getting in VIP for free at bigger, but half empty venues. .Really mellow like the old days of Dead.
    Kinda wild that 25 years after the real deal, we’ve been so fortunate to have all the “other ones” we’ve had. A true testament to not only the music, but this culture that we’ve not only kept alive, but have fostered yet another generation on the preverbal bus!
    All aboard!
    ONWARD!

    LOVED that band! Plus, you could pay $50 to see them in theaters that hold 3000-5000 fans, rather than $150 to see them in a football stadium with 40,000 of your closest friends. I've enjoyed the three Dead & Co. shows I've seen, but not like I enjoyed the three Furthur shows I caught.

    I'm not a robot, but did see one mowing the neighbor's yard the other day--like a Roomba for your grass . . .

    Truly was special. When I heard it announced and it would be Bob and Phils first band together in many years I had to fly out for their first shows during the Oakland run. Loved that Joe Russo was pulled into the dead orbit he is one my favorite drummers. Coming from the East coast he was a major staple in many years of shows in NYC with the Duo and his other side projects. Billy's comments were not pleasant and ya gotta wonder what he was thinking at that time and if someone just caught him in a surly mood, not the personality I had come to expect from him but who knows. John absolutely should've been the guy over Trey, hands down. I would've preferred Kimock but with all the past drama I kinda figured that would never happen major bummer. Kimock was gifted pedals and equipment by Jerry including a vintage Mutron. Wouldve been nice to hear a guitarist who knew Jerry personally, had some his equipment, and embodied yhe spirit of the music more holistically. I know Trey gets it but his playing choices usually lose my interest at numerous points in a night. He's great but not my cup of tea. I've said before on here, it wasn't "Fare Thee Well" it was "Fare Thee Phil." :) As soon as Bobby started hinting at the band not stopping but Phil was...I got the impression it was ON. Dead and Company have been plenty of fun too albeit a little more mellow. They should throw a massive reunion of side projects, Dead and Co., and Phil & Friends for a 21st century acid test. Freak freely in the 21st my friends, buckle up kids, the music never stops!

    I concur. They were a great band. I saw many iterations of the remaining members, but none really grabbed me until Furthur. It is highly unlikely that I would have gotten back into the GD as much as I have without having seen them.

    John K. fit in very well with both Furthur and Phil’s group. Oro - your are correct. Jackie Greene with Phil was top notch stuff.

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!
