Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye! Gentle mistresses and most distinguished gentlemen, we have come upon the release of the DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 37, from the Fifteenth of April in the year Nineteen Seventy-Eight, at ye olde College Of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. Cast your waistcoats and your bonnets aside, the Grateful Dead are on steady gallop from the opening high-kick of "Mississippi Half-Step" into a where are we going? where have we been? "Passenger," followed by full-on versions of "Friend Of The Devil," "El Paso," "Brown-Eyed Women," and a double-barreled "Let It Grow>Deal." Catch your breath and straighten out your tricorne because the 2nd set shows no bounds with delightful takes ("Bertha>Good Lovin'," "One More Saturday Night") and introspection ("Candyman," "Playing In The Band"). Then - great fifes and drums - it's 15 minutes of "Rhythm Devils," with band and crew gathered round to amplify the merriment before delivering a rare incantation of "Not Fade Away>Morning Dew" that sets the soul alight. Pure jollification!

The town crier's addendum:

Three bags full! Lest you feel 4/15/78 beginneth and endeth too quickly, we've selected highlights from Civic Arena, Pittsburgh, PA, 4/18/78 to satisfy your fancy.

Limited to 25,000 numbered copies, DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 37: WILLIAMSBURG, VIRGINIA 4/15/78 was recorded by Betty Cantor-Jackson and has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman. It is guaranteed to sell out - often within hours.

Some of my E72 favs. Ran out of time after 5/10, so skipped a few shows:

Dark Stars excluded for the most part. They're too much of a "hear for yourself" experience.

4/7
* Greatest Story Ever Told (I love Donna's "cool clear water well you can't always tell" vocal. She really hits it.

* The Other One, Pt 2 => Wharf Rat

4/8
* Bertha

* Caution

4/11
* China / Rider

* Truckin' / The Other One

* Brokedown Palace

4/14
* Transition from Dark Star => Sugar Magnolia

*Banter after Cumberland Blues

4/16 (Donna Absent)
* Black-Throated Wind

* Playing in the Band

* Not Fade Away, Pt 2

4/17
* Cold Rain & Snow

* China / Rider

4/21 (Beat Club Studio)
* The Other One

4/24
* He's Gone

* Dark Star, Part 2 => Wharf Rat => Sugar Magnolia ***** (BOAT)

* Good Lovin' Parts 1 & 2 (jam excluded); Part 2 especially the beginning with Pigpen's foreshadowing remarks.

4/26

* Bertha

* Good Lovin' (I chose this for the main song parts, before and after the jam; there is an incredibly smooth groove to the main guitar hook during the verses that is super jazzy - they hit it in a manner that resonates like a harmonic in my ears).

* Truckin'

* The Other One

*Lovelight=> (+ transition into GDTRFB)

4/29
* Sugaree - Bobby is really playing some great fills here and Pigpen's organ great when he engages.

* Loser

Chinatown Shuffle - Keith actually has something that resembles a piano solo. Very cool.

5/3
* Me and My Uncle (approximately every 15th performance someone hollers "whoooo!!" after the hi-low Jack lyric; this is one of them)

* China Cat Sunflower - original E72 version. Jerry solo perfection. Not crazy about the attached Rider on this one, due to the vocal overdubs they recorded right onto the master.

* Tennessee Jed - also from the original E72, but if the supplemented vocals, it's not glaring at me. But I think it was chosen for the incredible instrumental arrangement that supports Jerry's guitar solo, then back into the chorus; they build up to a perfect crescendo here.

5/4
* Brown-Eyed Women

* Big Railroad Blues

* The Stranger (Two Souls in Communion) - 7

5/7
* Beat It On Down the Road

* Lovelight =>

* GDTRFB (I mentioned the transition into this one only one 4/26, but this is one great version beginning to end.

5/10

* Playing in the Band (clocks in at 12 and a half min once the before/after banter is taken into account, where most previous versions were in the 9 -10 zone; so extra jam time, and one of the best jams of the tour IMHO)

* Wharf Rat (awesome beginning with nice loud Wharf chords from Jerry and drum rolls from Billy).

5/16
*Promised Land

5/18
* Jack Straw
* Sugar Magnolia (they really hit a groove; 2nd best on the tour IMHO despite Bobby's vocal miss). Just listen to Billy's drum fill at the "Billy's drum fill part" - very unique and one of the best.

5/23
* Promised Land (I think only Veneta is better)

* Hey Bo Diddly

5/24
* Cold Rain and Snow

*LOVELIGHT - Pigpen's last and best in my opinion. By 1972 they had this streamlined down to about 12 to 15 minutes, and they jam like the Allmans. Unlike the other two Europe 72 performances, this one contains that classic quiet doot-doot-doo arrangement from Jerry, Bobby and Phil; it kicks in around 10:05 and goes on for a minute with Pigpen improvising the lyrics as he goes along. And then they pop back into "Without a warning" one last time.

5/25
*Brokedown Palace

* The UJB medley

* Ramble On Rose (dig the extended intro)

5/26
*Mr Charlie

*Playing in the Band

* He's Gone (the only time I've heard Bobby throwsome tremolo on, making it spacey and ethereal.

* The Stranger (Two Souls in Communion). PigPen at his soulful best, really throughout most of the May versions.

* There may be a good Morning Dew on this one.

Haven’t been back to check for sure yet, but I think their doing it on purpose. If you really listen to what Bobs trying to do with his right hand, that different staccato rhythm, it sounds like the drummers are trying to copy that but their not quite entrained? I forget the other one, but overall there’s not that much other obvious stuff here, hell I heard way more FUs on that 2/9/73 show. GD Warts, come with the territory folks!
Oh, and the so called “flub” as JG starts to sing Half Step is more likely Healy not turning his mic up in time as I don’t think they had the trigger gates yet; those black rectangle pads on top of the Persian rugs right where they stand when they sing. It’s a switch/gate that activates the mic when you stand on it thus eliminating such errors. Before that the house mixer would have to “ride the mix”. and mute the mics during longer periods between vocals to eliminate unwanted bleed/noise from the super loud instruments.... Or possibly Beatty didn’t have him up yet on on the tape mix?
On Passenger I’m pretty sure JG and others? are going into the Bridge after the instrumental, but Donna goes elsewhere. Luckily, tragedy is narrowly averted though!

Does anyone remember what book this sentence came from? "I've got to pick a pocket or two." I'm still loving Dap 37. Was BEW meant to be like it is or was it an intentional experiment. Either way It was unique.

Future Dave’s?

Usually I wait to post this updated list of Dave’s, but since y’all guessing already, how bout some gas for the fire?
And yassss, fourwindsblow, it has been a looonngg time for 69!

BOXES: ya gotta think that chances are higher than not that they’ll go with more ABCD returns cause, ya know...
So that being said, and since Dave’s been rooting around where he’s has, I’d think there could be be a spring 78, or “spring” 71, perhaps more summer 76, though probably too soon?,
And as HF will tell ya “what about fall 72?,” and it is puzzling that he’s not gone anywhere near primal stuff since Fillmore (except the few 50th bonus tidbits)?
I would hope that he stays away from 77 for a bit cause I know I’m not the only one feels that’s a tad over saturated comparatively. Think he’ll take a step back from 73/74, but ya never know, there is still a bunch of killer 73 not out. But since PNW is still not sold out?....
Doubt we’ll see another 80s box for a while since he’s gone there a few times semi-recently, which bums me out since it’s no secret I’m jonesing for a fall 89, and “the complete Alpine 89 with video”. Although there is that tweet relating to fall 80 type box...
I guess some kind of 90s is possible, but think it’s too soon after Giants, though it did sell well.
In other words, who the fug knows LOL, but hey, it’s fun to try and guess eh?

I am pleased to report that before I left for Europe '72 I listened to 3/36/72 (DaP 14), 3/28/72 (DP30), and parts of 3/21; 3/22; 3/23; 3/25, and 3/27 on a couple of bonus disc. Found 3/28 quite moving, not sure why.

Thanks for the reminder!!!!!!!!!!!

....I camped out all night for this place in line. Now where's my Dave's 37.

Ha!

Mine's on its way.

Available

Let's do this.
PLAY DEAD
PLAY DEAD LOUD
HAPPY FRIDAY DEADLAND

Dap 37

Dave sure is happy on this seaside chat.

No shipping notice?

Any other subscribers still waiting on their shipping notification?

Cut Drums and Full Releases...

Seems like the overwhelming majority of the Drums segment from 4/18/78 has been cut, but I cant' say I'm complaining. On another note, it's interesting to note that Dave specifically points out in the Seaside Chat that partial releases, such as 4/18/78, will most likely never see the light of day as full releases. For example, while only parts of the second set from 4/19/84 were included in DaP 35, we will most certainly never see the show in its entirety. Just something to mull over. It only makes me disappointed because parts of 9/18/90 were released as a bonus disc during Road Trips, so there may never be a full release of one of *arguably* the most beautiful and excellent shows of the 90s'. Anyways, my DaP 37 is in San Leandro so hoping it crosses the Bay any day now :))))

Viewtiful Shipping Notice...

Just to respond to an earlier comment, if you are a subscriber, there's a good chance you never got a shipping notification *I personally didn't*. However, if you check the order status there's a good chance it's already been shipped. Good luck!

Shipping Notice

VIEWTIFUL_ALAN, I have not received mine either. Shipping on 36 was a complete disaster for many, hope this isn't the case for 2021.

Shipping status still indicates not shipped.

37

This and 36 other reasons to be thankful, grateful, and happy.

Bring it on - never heard this one nor any of the filler however the next night (4/16) is one of my all-time favorites so this can't really go wrong.

Sixtus

And So It Begins

Lo and behold, it is as the prophet spaked (thanks JoshbytheBay): though a shipping notice we have naught, if ye subscribers check yr order's odor, you may see that by the grace of St. Dilbert it has indeed shippethed. Or so it says.

And now, like Mr. Plow, we play the waiting game.

Dead dreams

this is the absolute truth:

last night I dreamed there was one of these community Rhythm Devils sessions. Jerry was participating, and I was too. What was really weird was that Jerry was wearing a Jamaican tam on his noggin.

it was pretty cacophonic. but i got to play.

20 minutes of those RDs...stay on target Proudfoot...stay on target...

I kvetched about the nearly 20 minute Space from 6/19/94 recently...

THANK YOU DAVE!!!

I did get a shipping notice…

I did get a shipping notice on Wednesday...but the package isn’t in the system yet, s of now.

2021

My shipping notice came a couple days ago. I have subscribed every year since they first started them and am glad that Dave and company have been mixing it up (except nothing from 90s yet).

I actually just started listening to Dave's Picks 36 having waited since getting it months ago and the crowd energy and virtually perfectly crafted performances with Jerry's recovery and return are perfect for that release. My first post-coma shows were Alpine later that year in summer and they were epic. My timing of coming into the Dead and age demographic are pretty much the same as Dave's. My first show was in 84, then send one and third in 86. Alpine 87 was my third outing. By 89 I was finally hitting multiple tours and venue stops. It was a pretty exviting time to be a fan and witness their growth in real time from Jerry's recovery to the MIDI experiments of 89 and beyond.

A short few years later it was gone in a flash, but I sure enjoyed the ride while it was still cruising.....and still am.

I think I finally get where Dave's choices help to bring a rounded out experience to any ears that want to hear history.

Dave, I love you man

LOL, I can’t believe how much I’ve become attached to the seaside chats! Almost as much as some of the releases lol.
I could totally see just sitting around a bar with Dave and a couple other Dead nutz, hockey game on in the background, arguing about the Dead....maybe I’ve just been cooped up too long lol.
The man sure can sell that’s for sure! He takes some of these shows that I’m sorta nonplussed about and gets me psyched. Don’t get me wrong, I’m thrilled for each and every release, but we all have hopes for “those” shows (thinking of you HF lol), so some releases provide different levels of let’s say, individual enthusiasm. Dave makes em all special!
Good job eh! PLEASE, keep em coming!
And yes, thanks to all the Dead/rhino crew for all ya do, especially Marye.
Now if only we could choose our shipping method, ahem...

Interesting about clarifying that partially released stuff is from shows that won’t get full treatment/release. Makes sense to me, and it’s good to know what’s what etc. Wonder about “there’s no master list”...I think they they might not have a “set list” made up, but there’s probably a master “song list” that their choosing from of what he said; good shows that we have good tapes of”
You’d think there’d be some discussion or ruff drafts of certain things I.e., June 76, or Fillmore 69, or E72...
Let’s face it though, unfortunately there will be limits as to what/when shows will come out.

SHIPPING NOTICES; many of you have inquired about lack of notices etc. personally I’ve had releases where I didn’t get one at all, or got one about the time it arrived, or even after. Received one this time and if there’s no snafus with the PO/shipping labels etc mine should be here early next week. 🤞
But hey, As long as they show up.....mayor Jim and some others still haven’t received 36, and unfortunately i think there’s some folks still trying to hunt down others...
I guess every silver linings got a touch of gray...

FUTURE: was a little bummed he didn’t at least tease us with “future” info. Like will we get an WOTF anniversary release as HF thinks, and of course the million dollar question; what’s in the box? I think it’s fun for all of us to have some tid bit of information to speculate about, (GIVE IT UP DAVE), like the recent 80s rumors...Unfortunately I don’t think we’re getting a WOTF 50th this year. My interpretation of the accelerated release schedule is more about the last few since if they went the full 50 years half of us could be dead. But I hope I’m wrong! ; )

Okay, please Mr postman!

EDIT: Crow, you are one funny mofo, thanks!

For any cool pin fans out there....

....check these out from Bottleneck Gallery. Be quick though. Orders are only available for 24 hrs.

Buying A Lottery Ticket

I subscribed, I did not get a shipping notice, checked the mail box earlier and 37 was waiting. 30 minutes later the email came in about the release. Feeling good and lucky and happy for the weekend.
Stay safe and take care
b

No...

shipping notice, no product...but that's cool, it'll get here eventually...but honestly after listening to this on archive I'm kinda meh about it...just me...

Greetings, Oroborous...............!

Say you that it's no WOTF 50th till 2023?? I'm so old my CD player remote finger is getting creaky...

I think they want to keep the 50th thing rolling and we'll have it by mid-year. And because Dave wants a two-disc companion show, it'll be ... oh well, I have ranted for too long and y'all know my rap.

I'm less enamored than some on Dave's sea side, squishy-toed schpiels... I fast forward to the last couple minutes to see if he drops a box-related tidbit. He's keeping his powder dry (as I tried to at many rainy shows) as this is only the end of January. By the next DP, he'll say something. Then Bolo will jack us around! All in good fun.

After reading show reviews of 4-15-78 on the Setlist Program, I'm pretty psyched for this release. And when 2 1/2 hours of music is considered a "short" show, it reminds me of the good old daze, when that meant a four-hour excursion, not to mention the adventure of getting safety to and from the shows, which in my case is a relative concept. (Englishtown, lost my ride, found some cardboard and rolled up into it for the night, caught a ride straight to my door the next day...)

Oro -- at one time I beseeched everyone to live in the moment and stop speculating. And here I am, the very worst cannonball-into-the-pool nutcase. So it goes................

First Dave's Pick of the Year

Always a favorite- released right at the turning point of a long, Midwest winter.

Dave needs his own nature show, methinks. I'd subscribe to that too.

Play Dead!

HF

yeah but your our cannonball into the pool nutcase and I think I can speak for others when saying we wouldn’t want ya any other way! Freak freely my brother, rock on!

I received a shipping notice…

I received a shipping notice two days ago and a tracking number. However, it's not showing up in the UPS system. Oh well, just as long as I get it. Never had issues before so I'm not to concerned.

CANNOT ORDER ONLINE ANYMORE !!!!

What Gives ?...I cannot order by calling anymore....I tried using my mobile phone but it kept saying I cannot order more than 2 CDs...FINE ! I just want to order just ONE !...It kept sending me back to the Order page....I HATE the fact that one cannot call in to order. Sometimes Changes are NOT for the better Amigos...

GBEN

Pretty sweet GBEN. I love hearing these stories. Enjoy! What does your order status say?

78

I own a few 78s , Library of Congress.

out on the road yesterday I saw...

a license plate that said

5-8-77

no Deadhead stickers or anything else

it was a Tesla, not a Cadillac, btw

Nappyrags:

listen to the entire show at full volume all the way through

Morning Dew should impress, if nothing else does.

No message, tracking number…

No message, tracking number...no clue...& there it was on my porch. What a nice weekend surprise for a cold and wet Friday...hope all are safe and well.....

A la carte for me

I have just snuck through the door and ordered a copy of this one, seemingly without any problems. First time I have not subscribed. Weirdly, it feels more satisfying buying it this way, although I may end up paying more if I get them all, and I will of course miss out on the bonus disc. But it feels as if I have chosen to buy this show myself. Increasingly, with the subscriptions, I was starting to feel as though someone else was deciding what I bought, and was picking shows I wouldn't myself have chosen. This way, I feel I am getting back to getting what I decide to get.
Of course, if you want everything, its not a problem, and you are probably better off subscribing.

That is so Brexit. 😬

I’m so happy !!

Just wanted to share that #37 is coming in tomorrow ahead of the storm.

brexit?

God forbid.

DaP 37 sound

Based on the Listening Party, this is a fantastic sounding recording! Great job by Betty. Just based on that little bit sounds like she got a better mix than DaP 7 and 15 from the following week. Could be my ears fooling me, just sounds like one of her better tapes. Love the filler, especially cutting the 18 min Drums down to what I assume is the lead into Samson. Really interested to hear Scarlet> Dancing, will wait til it arrives and not listen to one on the Archive. Also digging that 4/12/78 is still a possibility for future release.

Picked up one of the glasses and a tshirt (burnt orange is one of my favorite colors, especially for a shirt, so they had my money right there), as well. Wonder if all this year's Picks will have a glass, or if they just really liked that cover, which, it is one of the best covers in the

PS if you do listen to the Listening Party, listen out for Jack a Roe teases in Let It Grow. Heard it while typing and was pretty cool.

Dave’s motion picture

Looks like Ducks Yas Yas in the background.
When i think of “the Penguin”, no not Admiral Richard Byrd alone in Antarctica, I fast forward to those fabulous 60s and yes, Burgess Meredith.

Striders..

on a roll today folks 😀 Look out Vguy. Hell, Simon Rob, everyone with the humor lately.....NICE!

Shipping/Tracking

I’m sure some(but not all) know this but:
Shipping innovations means UPS gets it to your Post Office, and once Uncle Sam has it, THEN your tracking number will be in effect.
Used to work for the P.O. (Like Phil).

I’m still just gonna wait it out, works best for me. About to cue up Dave’s 26, haven’t played it in a while. Be safe, enjoy the white powder!!

Checking In, Vol. 37

Hi All, I hope everyone is doing well. I have haven't commented in a while as I have been navigating through some work and other events. So we knew what this show was going to be and I am quite excited for it. It looks like it will be high energy. Of course with it being a Betty Board, that just adds to it.

I am equally excited for the generous portion of the Pittsburgh show we are getting as well. First, any time we get this much filler its always welcome. Second, I had made a comment many months ago when this was revealed to be the 1st show in the 2021 subscription run, that we should take guesses at what show the extra material would be pulled from. Dave L described that it would come from a good but under the radar show. I am fairly knowledgeable on 1978 GD, but I have gaps when comes to listening to specific tours. I did not know much about the spring tour. When I was consulting the Deadbase as to which show it could be, I hoped for the Pittsburgh show. This is not because of my hometown bias, but the 2nd set looked intriguing. The Scarlet > Dancing segue seems unique especially for the time period. I don't think of Scarlet not being paired with Fire back then. I know eventually it would occasionally be on its own or paired with other songs. Still I always I think of it paired with Fire from 77-79, so this looks cool. Regardless, I am looking forward to getting Vol. 37. I got my shipping notice a few days ago but it hasn't arrived yet.

Stay safe and well everyone and hopefully soon we'll all be spinning this fine music.

37

Some funny stuff in these threads.. pretty positive so far..

I'm with Oroborous, the seaside chats amuse me and do get my blood pumping in anticipation. I am stoked to hear the cleaned up, pristine sounding NFA>Jam>Morning Dew.. I still can't get over how good the Dew they snuck into #29 at the end of the Swing was. These incredible sounding Betty Board Morning Dews are phenomenal, I will gladly take any I can get my grubby little paws on.. but there are so few to be had.

I do have a piece of troubling news, however. It appears while breaking down his camera equipment and tripod, Dave was attacked by an angry mob of sea otters. You would not think this to look at them because they are so playful and cute, but sea otters are short tempered marine mammals with strong teeth and a powerful bite.. and apparently have been clamoring for 1969 for some time with no success.

Join me in wishing Dave a complete and speedy recovery.

Ignore sea mammals at your own peril people..

What to do

So while I'm still being "processed " I'm going to spend time with FZ

No shipping notice--I had to…

No shipping notice--I had to go to https://store.dead.net/customerorders/customer/login/ and enter my email and order number, click on the order to find out that it did ship, I clicked on tracking and I will get it Tuesday Feb. 2

No shipping notice received....

....yet #16978 was in my mailbox tonight.
I reminded myself of Jack Skellington in Nightmare Before Christmas.
"What is this, what is this?"
There's a 1. A 69. And a 78 in my number. I don't know what that means, but sounds neat.

I called the tinnitus hotline today....

....but it wouldn't stop ringing.

As a freshman in college, my good friend Phil Epstein and I hitchhiked from New Paltz, NY 4/14/78 to Williamsburg. We had seen Garcia Band, but this was to be our first GD show. The next day was parents day on campus at William and Mary, and the khakis and blue blazers were roaming and staring at the tie-dyed invasion. The show was high energy. The band was on it. The crowd excited. A thoroughly satisfying show! Last week my friend Phil and I were excited about the release of DP37, as this was our first show, and it was epic. As the universe would have it, Phil passed away suddenly last Sunday. This is dedicated to his memory. RIP.

re; BF312's eulogy....

....Sunrise was playing as I read that. Appropriate. I never met Phil, but I'm sure I would like him.
This release is for Phil.

I'm sorry to hear that, BF312

Bf312's eulogy

Not only would you have loved Phil, a truly beautiful person, but he would have loved you back. Would have given you his shirt if you were cold, his water if you were thirsty. We had seen hundreds of shows since W&M, and he was the guy you never met, but smiled and high-fived you after Jerry just blew our minds...huge smile on his face...the epitamy of what a Deadhead and generous soul should be. My profile pic is my $6 stub from 4/15/78...

That looks like there will be one for each DaP.

Good luck getting them all.
