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'm into the first disk and I like it a lot. The audience makes it more like your there in a way. I agree with gratefulhan and I'm also Italian and my mother still cooks all sorts of Italian dishes including a drop off of meatballs and chicken soup today at my apartment. You have to love mothers. Fugettaboutit!

    Jimbo, the hot out of tune woman made me laugh. I go to concerts all the time and sing. Last show I saw was with my cousin; we caught Dead & Co at MSG 11/1/19. I recorded the closer on my phone (Brokedown Palace). When I played it back the next day I could barely hear the band. I turned to my cousin and said "please don't tell me I've been singing in your ear like this for 30 years." He said it's usually too loud for him to hear me, but I'm usually in tune. He's a really good guy.

    I'm listening to the Jones Gang intro. I missed the anniversary of Colgate 11/4/77 a couple days ago....I love this release. Not a missed note. Pretty sure that's the Wolf Jerry's handling. I don't recall a cooler first 2 minutes to Stella Blue; something spacey and ethereal about it. The Let It Grow is also on my top 1 or 2 list. The short Other One rips...all great stuff.

    I have this one and some goodies from the other 3 shows in the first week of November queued up for the day.

    These shows are a steaming pile....

    A steaming pile of goodness that is to say! My analogy is that of my grandmother's cooking- I am half Italian so I grew up with that type of cuisine. I think of these shows as if i had my grandmother's cooking and getting a fresh bowl of rigatoni and meatballs right out of the pot. Well the music in these shows are like the main course and that steam is audience. The meal wouldn't be complete with just the taste, but adding the aroma filling the air...Bellissima!

    Seriously, I had some slight reservations about the mix but they are gone. The audience is there but mainly doesn't overpower the music. Musically, they were really amped up, I thought. Lots of energy and tight playing. Very enjoyable. Its going to take me a bit to go through these shows. I am still listening to #35, and the 2/18/71 show as well. Overall, I am happy as we got another good pick from Dave L.

    Ha.. burned into my cerebral cortex forever are the words to Friend of the Devil, sung loud, off key and in the wrong timing by a super hot woman at a show while she was standing or more staggering on her chair next to mine.. falling into me at least a couple times during the song. Fortunately, 2/3 through the first set she was too wasted to stand in her chair anymore and my guess is she only knew a few words to FOTD, UJB and Touch of Grey.. neither of the latter were played that night.

    It's all good though, she had a good time and I am left with that extremely vivid memory.. one of a choice few where I was surrounded by hotties at shows. You have to take the good with the bad in life.. right?

    My favorite Grateful Dead covers

    Smokestack Lightning, King Bee, Same Thing, Big Boss Man, Death don't have no Mercy, Morning Dew, Sing Me Back Home, The Race is on, Viola Lee Blues, We Bid You Good night, Vision of Johanna. I really liked the way they did Don't don't Ease Me In, but
    only the versions before 1974, the last cool version they did was 2/17/79, then they reworked it. I'm sure I missed some.

    JIMINMD, I'm in the same boat. Mine arrived in New Jersey on 10/29 and supposedly left the Bridgeport UPS Mail Innovations facility on 10/30. However, USPS has not received it. It's not unusual for packages to arrive to that Bridgeport hub and sit for days but this is a first in which it received a departure scan AND transferal scan to my local post office, all this showing up on the Mail Innovations tracking. But I doubt USPS has gotten it yet because the Bridgeport hub is notorious for delays and loss of packages.

    The Mail Innovations tracking page also states: "Mail Innovations is not a day definite service." You don't say, eh? Still scheduled to be delivered on 10/30. Ha! I would certainly pay extra to avoid Mail Innovations altogether. Keep it first class USPS.

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!
