    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.

    Limited to 25,000 numbered copies, DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 37: WILLIAMSBURG, VIRGINIA 4/15/78 was recorded by Betty Cantor-Jackson and has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman. It is guaranteed to sell out - often within hours.

    *2 per order. Very limited quantity available.

    Some of my E72 favs. Ran out of time after 5/10, so skipped a few shows:

    Dark Stars excluded for the most part. They're too much of a "hear for yourself" experience.

    4/7
    * Greatest Story Ever Told (I love Donna's "cool clear water well you can't always tell" vocal. She really hits it.

    * The Other One, Pt 2 => Wharf Rat

    4/8
    * Bertha

    * Caution

    4/11
    * China / Rider

    * Truckin' / The Other One

    * Brokedown Palace

    4/14
    * Transition from Dark Star => Sugar Magnolia

    *Banter after Cumberland Blues

    4/16 (Donna Absent)
    * Black-Throated Wind

    * Playing in the Band

    * Not Fade Away, Pt 2

    4/17
    * Cold Rain & Snow

    * China / Rider

    4/21 (Beat Club Studio)
    * The Other One

    4/24
    * He's Gone

    * Dark Star, Part 2 => Wharf Rat => Sugar Magnolia ***** (BOAT)

    * Good Lovin' Parts 1 & 2 (jam excluded); Part 2 especially the beginning with Pigpen's foreshadowing remarks.

    4/26

    * Bertha

    * Good Lovin' (I chose this for the main song parts, before and after the jam; there is an incredibly smooth groove to the main guitar hook during the verses that is super jazzy - they hit it in a manner that resonates like a harmonic in my ears).

    * Truckin'

    * The Other One

    *Lovelight=> (+ transition into GDTRFB)

    4/29
    * Sugaree - Bobby is really playing some great fills here and Pigpen's organ great when he engages.

    * Loser

    Chinatown Shuffle - Keith actually has something that resembles a piano solo. Very cool.

    5/3
    * Me and My Uncle (approximately every 15th performance someone hollers "whoooo!!" after the hi-low Jack lyric; this is one of them)

    * China Cat Sunflower - original E72 version. Jerry solo perfection. Not crazy about the attached Rider on this one, due to the vocal overdubs they recorded right onto the master.

    * Tennessee Jed - also from the original E72, but if the supplemented vocals, it's not glaring at me. But I think it was chosen for the incredible instrumental arrangement that supports Jerry's guitar solo, then back into the chorus; they build up to a perfect crescendo here.

    5/4
    * Brown-Eyed Women

    * Big Railroad Blues

    * The Stranger (Two Souls in Communion) - 7

    5/7
    * Beat It On Down the Road

    * Lovelight =>

    * GDTRFB (I mentioned the transition into this one only one 4/26, but this is one great version beginning to end.

    5/10

    * Playing in the Band (clocks in at 12 and a half min once the before/after banter is taken into account, where most previous versions were in the 9 -10 zone; so extra jam time, and one of the best jams of the tour IMHO)

    * Wharf Rat (awesome beginning with nice loud Wharf chords from Jerry and drum rolls from Billy).

    5/16
    *Promised Land

    5/18
    * Jack Straw
    * Sugar Magnolia (they really hit a groove; 2nd best on the tour IMHO despite Bobby's vocal miss). Just listen to Billy's drum fill at the "Billy's drum fill part" - very unique and one of the best.

    5/23
    * Promised Land (I think only Veneta is better)

    * Hey Bo Diddly

    5/24
    * Cold Rain and Snow

    *LOVELIGHT - Pigpen's last and best in my opinion. By 1972 they had this streamlined down to about 12 to 15 minutes, and they jam like the Allmans. Unlike the other two Europe 72 performances, this one contains that classic quiet doot-doot-doo arrangement from Jerry, Bobby and Phil; it kicks in around 10:05 and goes on for a minute with Pigpen improvising the lyrics as he goes along. And then they pop back into "Without a warning" one last time.

    5/25
    *Brokedown Palace

    * The UJB medley

    * Ramble On Rose (dig the extended intro)

    5/26
    *Mr Charlie

    *Playing in the Band

    * He's Gone (the only time I've heard Bobby throwsome tremolo on, making it spacey and ethereal.

    * The Stranger (Two Souls in Communion). PigPen at his soulful best, really throughout most of the May versions.

    * There may be a good Morning Dew on this one.

    Haven’t been back to check for sure yet, but I think their doing it on purpose. If you really listen to what Bobs trying to do with his right hand, that different staccato rhythm, it sounds like the drummers are trying to copy that but their not quite entrained? I forget the other one, but overall there’s not that much other obvious stuff here, hell I heard way more FUs on that 2/9/73 show. GD Warts, come with the territory folks!
    Oh, and the so called “flub” as JG starts to sing Half Step is more likely Healy not turning his mic up in time as I don’t think they had the trigger gates yet; those black rectangle pads on top of the Persian rugs right where they stand when they sing. It’s a switch/gate that activates the mic when you stand on it thus eliminating such errors. Before that the house mixer would have to “ride the mix”. and mute the mics during longer periods between vocals to eliminate unwanted bleed/noise from the super loud instruments.... Or possibly Beatty didn’t have him up yet on on the tape mix?
    On Passenger I’m pretty sure JG and others? are going into the Bridge after the instrumental, but Donna goes elsewhere. Luckily, tragedy is narrowly averted though!

    Future Dave’s?

    Usually I wait to post this updated list of Dave’s, but since y’all guessing already, how bout some gas for the fire?
    And yassss, fourwindsblow, it has been a looonngg time for 69!

    BOXES: ya gotta think that chances are higher than not that they’ll go with more ABCD returns cause, ya know...
    So that being said, and since Dave’s been rooting around where he’s has, I’d think there could be be a spring 78, or “spring” 71, perhaps more summer 76, though probably too soon?,
    And as HF will tell ya “what about fall 72?,” and it is puzzling that he’s not gone anywhere near primal stuff since Fillmore (except the few 50th bonus tidbits)?
    I would hope that he stays away from 77 for a bit cause I know I’m not the only one feels that’s a tad over saturated comparatively. Think he’ll take a step back from 73/74, but ya never know, there is still a bunch of killer 73 not out. But since PNW is still not sold out?....
    Doubt we’ll see another 80s box for a while since he’s gone there a few times semi-recently, which bums me out since it’s no secret I’m jonesing for a fall 89, and “the complete Alpine 89 with video”. Although there is that tweet relating to fall 80 type box...
    I guess some kind of 90s is possible, but think it’s too soon after Giants, though it did sell well.
    In other words, who the fug knows LOL, but hey, it’s fun to try and guess eh?

    I am pleased to report that before I left for Europe '72 I listened to 3/36/72 (DaP 14), 3/28/72 (DP30), and parts of 3/21; 3/22; 3/23; 3/25, and 3/27 on a couple of bonus disc. Found 3/28 quite moving, not sure why.

    Thanks for the reminder!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

Apparently San Diego was not on their itinerary for years after

...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...

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.

I'm still hoping for that ark box or any more missing betty boards. Mabey an east coast box smaller than the PNW box. No hints at all when a box set will materialize.

I noticed that at the end of the chat about Grateful Tea (See the latest almanac email) Dave mentioned that he’d be back ‘soon’ to talk about some exciting releases for 2021. I hope so.

50 years ago today………………

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!

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