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.

    No to firing. Yes to moving on.

    I certainly wouldn't want Dave to be fired - this series has been great and sacking him would be a terrible way to bring it to a close.
    But he has been seemingly choosing releases for a long time, and it would be quite interesting if a new way of releasing Dead material could be developed under the guidance of someone else. I am not suggesting this in the hope that they would pick shows more to my liking, though.
    I am fed up with the subscription system- ending up with shows that I wouldn't otherwise buy just so I can be sure of getting ones I do want. I have always done this, but I don't think I will next year. If shows could be advertised in advance and sold individually, we could then just buy what we wanted. Surely we are not a conformist group who all like and want the same thing.

    I don't see them replacing Dave anytime soon.

    If we think having someone else make the picks is going to please this persnickety crowd.. I have a bridge to sell you.

    Plus, they would have to pay an artist the redo the logo, there's no way Rhino would foot the bill for that. Much like Paul McCartney.. Many think Dave has been dead for many years and the new Dave is just a stage actor or completely computer generated. Rhino simply won't spend another $10k on artwork to replace something they already have ready and queued up to print on CD covers.

    [a small footnote, many will recall there was much speculation after a noticeable change in appearance and voice between the seaside chats a few years ago that Dave was no longer with us and had been replaced. Many openly postulated several theories with various levels of proof. Did he suffer a critical injury in a log rolling chainsaw juggling competition? Was he captured by Putin for not releasing enough 80's shows? Was he eaten by a Kraken during a seaside chat gone awry? Too much coffee? ...And my personal favorite, he was kidnapped by a female sasquatch during the "fly fishing" release video for Dave's Picks 32 filmed on one of the gulf islands just off Vancouver. Friends don't let friends track bigfoots alone, especially during mating season!]

    Simple economics. Dave's Picks will continue for the foreseeable future.

    Great stuff Sixtus!

    Thanks for the gallery - amazing stuff. Griffin and Kelly/Mouse et al were light years ahead of their time.

    As a side note, a double bill of the Dead and the Miles Davis Quintet would have absolutely left me rung out on the floor, swept up by the janitor post-show. Anyone lucky enough to see this one?

    Keep picking those good ones Dave

    I rarely post but want to send some support to Dave for continuing to pick great shows from all eras. Missed these, was living in Paris at the time but would’ve gone being from Fairfield so it’s great to have them. Love some ‘87 Dead 💀! And they sound awesome. Sometimes the SB ones are too sterile and I like the organicness of the crowd. That’s how I remember them! Keep up The GREAT Work Dave till next year! Cheers 🍻

    Last 5 besides this and 30 DOD

    Sixtus/ cool site

    My brother and I have some these posters, I believe I gave that Santa Claus poster to my brother for his birthday. Very cool posters. The poster with Garcia & Lightning Hopkins was up in the front window of the Orpheum Theatre in 1976.

    DaP 36 and Merle Haggard

    My DaP 36 has arrived in Germany today!!!
    I saw Merle Haggard at the Oakland Paramount Theatre in 2007.
    It was funny when he said, that in younger years they had groupies around when touring, but now they bring their own nurses.

    DP 36 still lost here also

    I agree with others that I think Dave has done a great job picking and releasing shows. I've been a Dave's subscriber since the series started and am still looking forward to it every year. We've gotten so many great shows.

    This release however, is still lost at sea for me in California, I too have a shipping notice from Oct. 30 that doesn't show anything via either UPS or USPS. Thinking there have been some shipping snafus with this one.
    I'm looking forward to hearing it.

    Yesterday I listened to a good chunk of the second set from Long Beach 1981, Aug 28. I came across a 1980s era vinyl bootleg at my local record store and picked it up. The sound is surprisingly good and the show is inspired for the time. Reallly fun to get an "unofficial release" from times past. "Grateful Dead Live in Long Beach" from Tricky Dick Productions. Good times and good show.

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!
