    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.

    I still have your original write up as a file on an older computer. I also think One Man did some extensive work/documentation on E72 and other tours.

    But all of this is heady stuff to me, just hard to keep up with this old brain...and I think I remember DHB's beer documentary.

    Sixtus - good post. I seem to have missed your posts on this year in the past - so apologies for that. You clearly have a lot to offer yourself in terms of write ups for 1972.

    Just got my shipping notice, hopefully everyone else who pre-ordered will get their tracking # before the end of today. Thank you also to Sixtus for that wonderful E72 Dark Star write up. I hope everyone here has a fantastic day :) much love ✌️

    I know I am not up to the task.. it took me a couple months to get through my first listen all those years ago. I think I'd still be on it if I took notes, rewinding.. taking copious notes, editing down the notes, reslistening then tossing my notes and starting over..

    I do like this writeup from the Internet Archive on the topic. There is a write-up for each show that is pretty close to my impression. I believe it was done before the box came out, so some of the recordings used were not nearly so stellar. Some good light GD listening.

    https://archive.org/post/304297/europe-72-notebook

    Funny.. I took a brief pause from my 71 stream of consciousness yesterday and picked up Lille France. What a great little show.. A+ in my book. Phil's comment is just about perfect, "it felt like he was playing in the midst of a French impressionist painting"

    re: E '72 Write Ups / KeithFan

    I concur. if there is anyone 'round here who purports a vast knowledge of the Europe 72 jaunt, it's KeithFan. It's quite an endeavor, and I know a bit from experience, as I had done this for each of the Dark Stars several years back as I awaited Boxzilla. Likely many have seen this before, but in the spirit of being a team player, I offer an encore sharing of these efforts while we now await word from KF on his uptake for the balance of the tour:

    Here goes....

    4/8/1972 - Wembly Empire Pool, London - 32 mins; intense/fast paced first leg up til about 10 mins then returns to DS theme for 1st verse; spacey post-verse til ~17 min, then pace picks up for a few minutes, followed by a brief meltdown; additional spaciness around 24 mins followed by another full meltdown; interesting groove established around 28 min that has hints of Sugar Mag (into which it segues, flawlessly). No second verse.

    4/14/1972 - Tivoli Concert Hall, Copenhagen, DK - 29 mins; loose first 10 mins not overly spacey; gets spacey around 11 mins; interesting groove establishes around 16 min to head into first verse w/interesting beat; heads off into intense nearly 7-minute jam inclusive of a very tight and fast Feelin Groovy jam; final 3 minutes are a meltdown. No second verse.

    4/17/1972 - Tivoli Concert Hall, Copenhagen, DK - 31 mins; spacey opening to about 7:30 when first DS theme emerges leading to 1st verse at 9:45. Spacey post-2nd verse tries to take off but melts further around 19 min; returns to a partial groove around 24:30 and closes out with spaceyness in the last 2 mins. No second verse.

    4/24/1972 - Rheinhalle, Dusseldorf, Germany - Split by Me & My Uncle; 26 mins 1st half, 14:30 second half. Spacey opening until about 8:45 where it coalesces and falls into first DS theme around 10:15 followed shortly by 1st verse with slow, sparse notes. Spacey feedback following verse until 15:45 and then picks up into an intense, fast paced jam for just under 2 minutes before it becomes dissonant again leading to major meltdown which eventually heads into Me & My Uncle with ease. Second half: spacey reintroduction persists until about 7 mins, where Keith leads-in with some piano phrasing and then the band follows into a tight fast paced jam where Jerry plays some lines back and forth as if in conversation with himself and then maintains an intense level effortlessly segueing into Wharf Rat. No second verse.

    4/29/1972 - Musikhalle, Hamburg, Denmark - 30 mins; spacey opening for ~5 mins, then enters a groove and Phil hints at the Feeling Groovy jam until it finally is joined by Jerry a minute later until about 8:00, then the floor drops out into space. DS theme appears at 14 min which leads to first verse. Spacey post-verse noodling leads to major meltdown, settling in at 22 mins with a fat, fast-paced Keith-led groove. Final 4 mins are spacey & lead to major melt #2, dropping into Sugar Mag as DS finally melts away. No second verse.

    5/4/1972 - Olympia Theatre, Paris - Split by drums; 19 mins 1st half; 17:34 2nd half. Spacey opening til about 6 mins when fast paced jam kicks in until 11:20, slowing down then resurrecting the DS theme into the first verse. 4 mins of space leads into drums. Second half post-drums is very spacey until 7 mins, then kicks into overdrive with a very high energy jam leading to a phenominal Feelin Groovy Jam for several minutes before settling into the second verse. DS dissipates into the Sugar Mag from E'72.

    5/7/1972 - Bickershaw Festival, Wigan, UK - 19:49 mins; decent, coherent jamming for the first several minutes that congeals nicely around 8 minutes. Bottom falls out around 10 mins and leads to some light noodling, cymbal fills and space. DS theme emerges at 14:23 and heads into 1st verse. Space fills the air through the remainder of the song until it totally breaks down into drums. No second verse.

    5/11/1972 - Rotterdam Civic Hall, Netherlands - Split by drums; 13:45 mins 1st half; 30:34 mins 2nd half; Opens with a light, airy jam that persists to congeal into a decent groove as it treads in and out of spacey phrasing. This settles into a mysterious sounding jam that grows with intensity without a return to the DS theme before dissolving into drums. Emerging from drums, Phil and Billy duel for 2 minutes before Jerry joins back in with some complimentary thoughts; the DS theme appears around 5 min followed by 1st verse. A few moments of spacey feedback give way to spacey noodling that devolves into a full blow chaotic meltdown, only to emerge around 19:30 into a very nice, fast paced groove that hints at Caution and PITB jams. This eventually dissolves and a light, sparse outro ends the song as it heads off into Sugar Mag. No second verse.

    5/18/1972 - Kongressaal, Muenchen, Denmark - 28:20 mins; almost 2 mins of noodling before opening notes from Phil; a loose jam ensues around the DS theme for the next several minutes and then decays. At ~9 min an interesting jam emerges, which eventually settles back into the DS theme and 1st verse around 14:30. The remainder of this DS is borderline chaos as it treads in and out of varying degrees of a meltdown until it settles into Morning Dew. No second verse.

    5/23/1972 - The Strand Lyceum, London - 30 mins; Spacey opening minutes lead to tight fast paced jam commencing around 3:30 for two minutes and then it settles into another spacey jam digressing to almost…nothing. Billy and Phil then have a small duel until ~13:30 when the rest of the band fills back into a delicate groove which grows to into a jam reminiscent of the post-Truckin' foray from E'72 until about 17 mins, when they drop into the DS theme and 1st verse. Ensuing is additional delicate spaciness that transgresses into a frenzied meltdown madness, and eventually settles into Morning Dew. No second verse.

    5/25/1972 - The Strand Lyceum, London - 34 mins, out of Wharf Rat. Strong opening with a groove almost from the beginning, no noodling around here in the first 7 minutes. Then turns very spacey until 15 mins when DS theme appears, and heads off into 1st verse. Post-verse finds a Billy, Phil, and Keith duel for several minutes. At 21 mins, Phil institutes a mellow Feeling Groovy jam, soon joined by the rest of the band until ~25 mins. Final minutes are dominated by space and then a monumental meltdown before heading off into Sugar Mag. No second verse.

    50 years ago today…………

    April 29, 1971
    Fillmore East, New York City, New York

    Set 1: Truckin'-Bertha-It Hurts Me Too-Cumberland Blues>Me And My Uncle-Bird Song-Playing In The Band-Loser-Dark Hollow-Hard To Handle-Ripple-Me And Bobby McGee-Casey Jones

    Set 2: Morning Dew-Minglewood Blues-Sugar Magnolia-Black Peter-Beat It On Down The Line-Second That Emotion-Alligator>drums>jam>Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad>Cold Rain And Snow-China Cat Sunflower>I Know You Rider-Greatest Story Ever Told-Johnny B. Goode

    Encore: Uncle John's Band-Midnight Hour-And We Bid You Goodnight

    Don’t get me wrong, this is a very fine show, with more than its fair share of oddities and rarities. I enjoy the quirky goodness of any show that has a Dark Hollow and a Ripple, the Black Peter is wonderful, the Dew is powerful, and who doesn’t love an Alligator? And I sure do savor the CR&S coming out of GDTRFB, and the three song encore was the only time that happened all year.

    All that being said, almost without fail, this show was rated the best show of 1971 in Deadbase polls, which I never understood. Solid show—absolutely. Great last Fillmore East show by the Dead---you bet. Even so, maybe a teeny tiny microscopic step down from the previous night……………

    Rock on!!!

    But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning……

    My vote would be Keith Fan. But it could also be a team effort. Anyway how about the liner notes to E72. Haven't they already been written up? teehee. H.A.D. waiting for this release. TMI?

    P.S. I'm not a robot.

I can't take credit for this, but I read this line on Twitter about RL's death and the "controversy" around the general response to the news and thought it was fitting:

That Arthur Lee and Shack gig was in 1992. I lived in Liverpool 1984 to 2008. Saw Shack several times and Mick Head with Red Elastic band. Great songwriter heavily influenced by Arthur Lee and Burt Bacharach. Happy to recommend stuff. We played Newby Street off Artorius Revisited at Mrs Doc and my wedding!!

I used to live there and it's not all that great of a place. That red dirt gets in your clothes and just won't wash out!

Had a cool hotel there, though.

Clearly we are getting an FM Broadcast Multi-Track box this year. All the FM broadcasts they did in 1971, recorded in glorious multi-track.

Thanks for giving us some easy clues this time Bolo.

That red dirt gets in your clothes and just won't wash out! - I washed my hands, and they wouldn't come clean. Washed My Hands played once on 12/5/71.

Great first set

Second set has a China Rider for the ages
Plus great song selection

I did not know this: Bobby and Mickey and a couple others got arrested this night.

...thanks for correcting me. Oddly enough, I had a 2 hour “visit” with a part of my cd collection this evening. This included my Love section(about a dozen titles), and sure enough, that A.Lee/shack disc was ‘92, just as you stated. Makes sense we’ve been discussing memory, or lack thereof. My brain has 2 functioning neurons, and they occasionally connect with one another. Stay safe all.

Yes, Road Trips 1.4 is gorgeous, I just bought a copy, still in the first set. Looking forward to Hamza El Din in the second set. Bought as a download from qobuz (dot) com - great thing is they have the Road Trips series individually, and even better, the files are HDCD encoded, so if you have the equipment, it is maximum audio for a CD, just great. Only bummer, no bonus CD included.

Believe that I saw Hamza El Din with the Dead in shows either/and New Haven, Hartford, Providence. Hopefully one of these will show up one of these years.

Thanks for the tip, Deadvike, and the info, JimInMD. Z.

50 years ago today…………..

February 19, 1971
Capitol Theater, Port Chester, New York

Set 1: Truckin'-Loser-Cumberland Blues-It Hurts Me Too-Bertha-Playin' In The Band-Dark Hollow-Smokestack Lightning-China Cat Sunflower>I Know You Rider

Set 2: Greatest Story Ever Told-Johnny B. Goode-Bird Song-Easy Wind-Deal-Cryptical Envelopment>drums>The Other One>Wharf Rat-Good Lovin'-Casey Jones

New era, back to the original quintet. To be honest, when this was first released I was simultaneously happy and disappointed, I would have preferred a different Port Chester. But after careful, open-minded listening I was won over, and despite what some quirky bass player might think, it is a solid show.

Dark Hollow, a Smokestack, the sweet China/Rider to end the first set (I love it in that position, which only occurred once in 1971), one of the last versions of Easy Wind, a solid Other One, and a jammy, rappin’ Good Lovin’. What’s not to like about all that?

Give it a listen, and enjoy!!!

Rock on,

Doc

Trying not to be too cynical, but yeah, here comes another eye-roller....

After not receiving DaP36 (3 months and counting) and the well documented shipping SNAFU's and pathetic responsiveness many of us have experienced.... Now I receive an e-mail after every time I check into this DaP37 board saying: "That Grateful Dead item is Going fast!" with a photo of the DaP37, prompting me to order it. DaP37 has been sold out for almost 3 weeks! Hello? Is there anybody out there?

Interestingly, I too have been receiving similar notifications for #37...."This item is going fast!"....so fast, indeed, it's been sold out for WEEKS!

Seems monkeys are pulling some levers back there; nay, forgot to pull a few. This monkey business transcends infrastructure we can see....and makes an offer for introspection on that which we cannot see. What else is in the lurch back there???

Deep Breath.

It's Friday.

Scheming of new ways to get your money, while not actually delivering product.

Missing DaP 36’s?
No, they just rerouted a bunch to eBay resellers, and then made up some sob story about having to manufacture some unnumbered copies.

Remember several years ago when they ‘magically’ found a pallet of a sold out Box Set sitting in the back corner of the warehouse?

I think I saw pinkus and doc rhino boarding a plane for Cancun..

I have to admit I was a bit relieved to get my 37 without incident.

Yep, been getting the same note from Dead.net re: Dave's 37. Even if i didn't already buy it, shouldn't those notifications stop since it's sold out? Definitely on auto pilot over there....

of investigating the GD shipping snafus, apparently

If there is a bright side to not getting 36 yet, it is that better a couple 87 shows, and not 6 10 73, 11 19 72, etc.

Still, not getting it after 3 months....boooo!!!

So, back in the day, like when the New Barbarians were touring (look it up!), I had a tiny cottage back from the street on the alley in NE Denver. The block-long greenhouse across the street (now stupid condos) played classical music for the plants. I had a roommate we nicknamed "The Bronto," because we figured his brain was the size of a pea -- a crude notion then afflicting a specific dinosaur species. He kept two piranha in a large tank, they were named J. Edgar Hoover and Alferd E. Packer (a famous Colorado cannibal, who is buried near my current home). Our idea of a good time was smoking hash and tossing small, live eels into the tank to watch the tropical carnivores furiously at work. I was an enthusiastic participant, may I be forgiven... One idea the Bronto had was for me to vacate the small basement, flood it, and raise caimans for sale. For some reason, that idea never made it off the drawing board... However, one night I returned home with my girlfriend and we sat on the couch to relax, only to notice a new terrarium next to it with a piece of tinfoil placed lightly over the top. Inside was a light bulb for heat and ... a very large tarantula that suddenly seemed interested in our presence. Perhaps needless to say, my girlfriend bolted for the front door and announced no more hoo-hah for me until that spider was gone. When he heard of the dire punishment I suffered, to his credit he found Tarantula a new home. At a GD show at Red Rocks, the Bronto went in on crutches he didn't need, in order to use the tubes for firing bottle rockets into the air during the second set. Getting a good picture here? This is unadorned fact, like all my stories, unfortunately.

So, to my actual story, one night the Bronto is slouched on the couch with a jumbo turkey leg in one hand. Being stoned, he relaxed his arm so that the turkey leg kinda dangled in front of him. My beloved hero dog, Genaro -- a collie-huskie mix whose IQ far exceeded that of the Bronto -- has been laser-focused on that turkey leg since it entered the room. Now, seeing it proffered so blatantly, the dog swiftly rises, snatches the giant turkey leg and hot foots into the kitchen, where he throws himself down and begins to tear it apart. The generosity of these humans! Wow! All before the Bronto could even mutter a stunned WTF???

Ah, the priceless memories!

I would loooove for 2 23 71 to get the release treatment. Hot stuff.

2 18
2 19
both hot

2 20 is ok
2 21 is welcome

2 23 pleeeease

2 24 can get left alone

...to here, Us; perhaps this will get some traction on the ongoing issues (as well as exposure to the fun rabbit holes).

This below, from today's GD Bulletin:

'Meanwhile, as usually happens, our evolving, freeform discussion has moved over to the Dave’s Picks Volume 37 thread, where the music is the main thing but the sidetracks and rabbit holes are many. Come on down!'

I'm caught in an existential reality loop.

And yet another defective release. On Dave's Picks 37, it ejects Disc 2 at "One More Saturday Night" and Disc 3 at "Around And Around". I'm getting fed up with the sloppy production and mailing.

Any chance of getting a new booklet for Dave's Picks volume 37? When it was inserted into the digipak, the cover of the booklet was crumpled.

“Genaro -- a collie-huskie mix whose IQ far exceeded that of the Bronto -- has been laser-focused on that turkey leg since it entered the room”....PRICELESS! Man I don’t know which I enjoy more; good dogs or the Bronto’s of the world?
Great name by the way, everyone had names in our world BITD...

MR SMITH: warm enough for ya down there? Stay well amigo!

02.18.71 is now included as the two bonus discs on the American Beauty 50th anniversary CD release

02.19.71 was released several years ago as "Three From the Vault"

02.21.71 is now included as the two bonus discs on the Workingman's Dead 50th anniversary CD release

We're going to have to wait a little longer on 02.23.71...

Hope y'all are enjoying the BMFS shows this week!

Assuming you mean DaP#37, then subscription copies should have been shipped on or before the release date although that doesn’t mean they will have all arrived since some people are still waiting for #36 . I’m not sure if the a la carte orders have shipped perhaps someone who ordered that way could comment. If you have an order number then you can log in on the Store page and look at the status of your order. Good luck.

EDIT
On another topic, if the powers that be could hurry up and get the boxset released I might save some money as the pound is unnaturally strong against the dollar at the moment. Just asking :-)

My DaP 37 glass arrived minutes ago and I have to say I'm happy that Dead Net didn't screw me over with their shipping, even though I had to wait well over a week for my shipment ID to actually start tracking. The box itself was a bit scuffed up when I got it which is a bit annoying but the glass itself is what you pay for, a nice sturdy glass which I can't complain about. Lookin forward to re-listening to DaP 37 with a cold one in the glass! To everyone who hasn't received their DaP 36, DaP 37 and more, I wish you luck with your order and that hopefully Dead Net will pick up the slack this year

"Genaro" was one of the world's greatest effin' dogs: smart, funky sense of humor, always up for adventure. Passed away prematurely in 1990 after 12 magical years together, from when I was 19 to 30, the age when a young man and a hero dog could rule the world.

I'm still thinking about getting another dog. But after 31 years, it's just way too soon.

February 20, 1971
Capitol Theater, Port Chester, New York

Set 1: Casey Jones-Me And My Uncle-Hard To Handle-Bertha-Playing In The Band-Bird Song-Big Boss Man-Cryptical Envelopment>drums>The Other One>Wharf Rat-Sugar Magnolia

Set 2: Truckin'-Loser-Next Time You See Me-Greatest Story Ever Told-Johnny B. Goode-Ripple-Not Fade Away>Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad>Not Fade Away>Turn On Your Lovelight

Truth be told, my friends, tis sweetness & light. Finely played. As on 2/18, and as continued occasionally throughout the year, the “big jam” is laid down, cryptically, in the first set. Decent dose of well played, greasy Pigpen. Ripple, Oh, Ripple!!

And, truth be told, I do like these early, “primitive” Bird Songs, which for me reflect the deep emotion behind the song……………..

Rock on!

Doc
When we are thirsty, we drink the white waters of the pool, the sweetness of our mournful childhood
