    "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.

    I knew I couldn’t be the only one who watches baseball while listening to the Dead. Both are, let’s face it, time-consuming activities, so it’s good to be able to combine them, and most of the time you don’t miss much by not hearing the TV commentators.

    I’ve always felt like there was a strong link between the SF Giants and the Dead. Partly because SF, duh. And the Dead did sing the National Anthem at a Giants playoff game once. And the Giants have made Grateful Dead Night a regular part of their promotion schedule. But it’s more than that, for me.

    I started going to shows in the late ‘70s, a time when the Giants were perennial losers, unloved by anyone except a few diehards who would brave the frozen confines of Candlestick Park. The Dead seemed like they were still a little bit under the radar nationally at that time, but much loved in the Bay Area, where they gigged almost constantly. Both of ‘em felt like “the home team” to a lot of us.

    It really wasn’t till I went away to college and started meeting people from New York that I realized the Dead had a rabid following in other parts of the country! And then I started to meet some tapers, and realized there were people all over the place who obsessed over the Dead.

    Anyway, I’ll be watching the world series tonight, and probably cranking up some of the Northwest box, which I am REALLY digging right now. And rooting against the Dodgers, because that’s how it is.

    For some reason old flickering B&W silent movies have always creeped me out. Nosferatu REALLY wigs me. Maybe something about the eyes. . . Trickertreat.

    wow....that is one f'd up movie. I watched that a year or two ago for the first time and I was like WTF am I watching. So many very, very weird images. It is borderline disturbing and quite.....unsettling.
    David Lynch has a magnificently weird vision.

    While not a "horror" film, there are 2 movies which combined, gave me the 2 most jarring, frightening, startling reactions of my entire life......Wait Until Dark, which leads me to......Not so Old Skool…...When A Stranger Calls

    Yes! Cant watch enough horror movies before October 31st. The other night we watched Black Sabbath. Before that was the Raven, with an all star cast. Next up is the original Little Shop of Horrors.

    David Lynch's "Eraserhead". Not classic horror but certainly seriously disturbing. 😨

    Direwulf: Yeah, I think you're right that discussion is in McNally's book. I know he discusses musical transitions on the Jerry On Jerry audio cds, which are awesome:

    Jerry On Jerry.
    If I have a place to go, eventually I can get there and make it pretty seamless. Because to me the relationship between one thing and the other is pretty obvious. All I need to do is know both halves, eventually I’ll find the place, the walk between the two. - Jerry

    He also likens musical transitions to being inspired by Golden Gate Park & Fantasia. Love that mind, what a Brilliant guy!

    "The Host" (2006) directed by Joon-ho Bong, who also directed "Snowpiercer" and "Parasite," which got a lot of acclaim, and won the Best Foreign Film Oscar this year. (Despite its title, "Parasite" is not a horror movie lol.)

    Joon-ho Bong is Korean, which means "The Host" is ... different, tonally, from a lot of western horror. The shifts can be jarring. I don't know if it even is horror, but it's got a kick-ass monster in it, so okay, I'll go with horror. It used to be on Netflix but it's not anymore, but you can rent it from Jess Bezos for 3 bucks.

    Do yourself a favor, watch the first 15 minutes or so. If that opening scene doesn't grab ya, you're probably immune to its charms...

    T-Rex was a real band? Huh, how about that. To think - all these years I assumed it was just an early indication that Townsend was entering his downslide as a writer when he penned the lyrics, "To the sound of old T-Rex and Who's Next".

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!
