    "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.

    DAVE'S PICKS 36

    I pre-ordered this right away. My first show was 3/27/87. So i was very excited. After listening to the first set , (DISC 3), I was extremely disappointed on the sound quality. It's all crowd....At best, this sounds like a below average audience bootleg. I am very surprised because 3/26 was David Lemieux’s first show. I really thought this release would be presented much better, due to that fact and plus it was SPRING 87. Jerry's BACK !!!!!
    I think I could have found better quality on Archive.org
    I remember when WNEW 102.7 FM, in New York City, aired one of the Meadowlands show's in April 1987. My friend recorded it and it was a killer tape. Wish Dave's 36 was as good as that !!!! Ending the 2020 Pick's on a sour note

    Crowd Noise

    I'm not so sure this experiment is working. The crowd noise is controlled, in my view, like a laugh track on a sitcom.
    I, for one, don't like to be told when or how express my emotions, especially at a GD show. Some suit at Warner Brothers signed off on this, so keep up the feedback, gang! I'm only through disc 1, and I'm lovin' it, regardless.

    To Jim in MD, I fell off my chair once (Duke, 04/12/78), into a lovely young lady's lap...during Peggy O, and today we've been happily married for 37 years. What an introduction! By the way, I was not drunk, but triple dosed. She thought I was an A-hole!

    Mass singalongs ?

    Ghastly idea. Another good reason to avoid rock music in Arena's by the sound of it.

    I can relate ...

    ... to what KETUT is saying. My concert-going experience was pretty similar: attending shows regularly during the late '70 and early '80s when the band was still playing relatively small places and still a little under the radar as far as the mainstream culture went, and then not at all after "Touch of Grey" hit and everything got so much bigger. (To be fair, it was also partly because my life changed and I couldn't just drop everything and drive 200 miles to see the Dead at the drop of a hat anymore.)

    Mass singalongs are a big part of the arena rock experience, and a lot of people apparently like them, and who am I to say there's anything wrong with that? But it's not why I go to concerts, and certainly not why I went to Dead shows. It's also not what I want in a live recording. But hey, it's OK to have this one release where the crowd is so audible, for the people that like that kind of thing. I just hope it's not a trend.

    The Dead Sing Along with Hartford

    Nice two shows . Happy to have them. Audience volume a bit much for me at times. In the minority, but hoping these hybrids aren’t the shape of things to come. If it’s what we got, so be it.

    Edit:
    Acclimating quickly enuf 2nd time around. This is a solid release. It Isn’t a Kinks Live at Kelvin Hall level album destroyed by an audience screaming track. (It’s a loop on that one IIRC played non-stop on one track the whole album—course that was ‘67.)

    Dave’s pick 36, Hartford civic center 3/26/87-3/27/87

    I have a comment and a question. My comment is, this show, is absolutely amazing! I bought this as a gift to my wife, which we haven’t bought a actually cd box set in a long time! I’m so happy I preorder it. Because we play it so much, and every time it makes me smile ear to ear.
    My question, does this set come with a digital download code? I sent a message to help, explaining that my new truck I purchased for work. Doesn’t even have a CD player in it. Which is just crazy to me, but the dealership told me, yeah, they will be fading out the CD player in all cars soon. Which make me think. I’ve gone through so many different formats of music. But I guess digital right now is the best, since it’s there forever. Any who, if anyone knows let me know! Thanks everyone! NFA!

    DAVE’S PICKS 36: HARTFORD CIVIC CENTER, HARTFORD, CT (3/26-27/87

    Great selection of songs though not a fan of the incessant audience. My last shows were in the summer of 1987. Tickets in hand, we were maced by an over zealous security guard just after some of you assholes crashed the gate. Unfortunately, hearing the audience above the band especially after each solo brings back that experience. I was blessed to be able to see shows 5-6 times a year between 76 and 87. But after summer 1987 it was clear the focus was no longer on the band and getting music out to the people. Thanks to the folks at Dead.net and Garcia.com for continuing to provide awesome content.
    I hope future DP releases are true soundboards with minimal audience.

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!
