    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!

    Anything Hendrix wins.
    He was in other bands before he went solo.

    Frampton Comes Alive seems to have worked pretty well for Peter.

    I love Pink Floyd but Water’s solo albums are terrible. Gilmour’s first album is OK but the others are pretty weak.

    Favorite Solo Albums from Classic Rock Gods

    The discussion on Page and Plant got me thinking...what are people's favorite solo albums by any of the great bands of the 60s? Zep, Who, Beatles, Stones, Floyd, etc.

    I think mine is Pete Townshend's Empty Glass.

    Dave - Is it Page on Hurdy Gurdy Man? I have read names such as Jeff Beck to (the late great) Allan Holdsworth, Jimmy Page, and a few others were the guitar player on this tune. I really don’t know.

    MaryE - Thanks for all the help to myself and so many others!

    Page in the 60s

    Jimmy Page also cropped up on numerous sessions for all sorts of artists throughout the 60s-from Tom Jones to The Stones. "Baby Please Don't Go" by Them and "Sunshine Superman" and "Hurdy Gurdy Man" by Donovan are a few of the best. In fact, I once saw Donovan, and Page came on to play for a few numbers. "Happening Ten Years Time Ago" with The Yardbirds is also a classic-with Jeff Beck, too, of course.
    I was wondering the other day if Covid marks the end of the 60's. Too early to say-maybe Live Dead 69 will be back next year, and it will all start up again.

    Thanks LedDed

    My 10th grade English teacher lent me the first two CDs back in '87, and I was hooked from there on (even read Hammer of the Gods), but I haven't listened to them much in the past 10 years. I had huge door posters of Zep IV and Houses of the Holy.

    I got to see Page / Plant twice. They were some great shows....but the O2 Reunion exceeded my greatest expectations. I bought the CD when it came out and couldn't believe how ON they were. I didn't look at the track list when I bought it; I didn't even put it on for the car ride home. I took a day off work, packed a bowl and listened to it end-2-end. Set list had some nice surprises. For Your Life - really? Mother f@#%ing game on! After that song ended I seriously thought I might get Carouselambra too (love that song - would love to hear Jimmy's isolated guitar track - it's so cool, but buried in the mix).

    What you're saying about Page makes sense, thanks for the insights. I didn't know about the slights against Plant. And Page IS always the guy doing the box sets and remixes for the Zep catalog. I guess I didn't realize how much sway he had in the Zep days. I knew they emerged from his New Yardbirds and that he was their Producer, so yeah, I guess that would cause some tension, especially once Plant carved out his own legendary rock persona.

    I bought Mighty Rearranger, Raising Sand, and Band Of Joy several years ago, but didn't listen much. To your point though, Harm's Swift Way is a cover that he made his own (in fact, I didn't realize it wasn't his own until I heard him interview about it).

    Well, thanks - that satisfies my curiosity. On the surface I thought, how does a riff master like Page not have at least as equal a solo career as the the other song writer in Zep.

    P.S. - what's with Peter Grant as Executive Producer on all the records? I thought he was the manager and the muscle. What kind of musical input was he responsible for? Or was it a ceremonial title?

    I tend to dive into subjects headlong, devouring multiple biographies, interviews, first hand anecdotes from those lucky enough to have met the subject, and of course, all the music. It's hardly possible with the Dead, but with Robert Plant for instance, my m.o. is to buy every official studio and live release and go from there. HendrixFreak talked of his methods with bootlegs, board tapes, etc. There's a ton out there if you're willing to find it with just about every established artist.

    Robert Plant was able to reinvent himself commercially and stylistically with great success after the demise of Led Zeppelin. After the O2 show in 2007, I like many others (Jason Bonham included) was devastated that Plant would not resurrect the old warhorse for a proper tour.

    He has his reasons, not the least of which, being his own man and sticking it to Jimmy for any one of a thousand slights. When Led Zep formed, it was Page's baby, he having financed and produced the first album and then basically leasing it to Atlantic for an exorbitant sum, retaining all musical and artistic control and receiving an unheard of royalty rate and worldwide distribution. Plant was unsophisticated and raw, a brilliant putty in Jimmy's hands in the beginning.

    Peter Grant greatly aided and abetted in this scheme... Zeppelin were an incredibly decadent band of outlaws who pretty much owned the Seventies in every sense. It was not without it's mishaps and ugly scenes, hedonsim way out of control, but it was beautiful and magical and mighty as well as flawed, with an inherent dark side... and when it was over, all parties involved had to take a respite.

    Page half-assed it with The Firm, Coverdale/Page and his Outrider record; he really only touched on past glories trotting about the globe with Robert for those few Plant/Page tours. He was and always has been a Zeppelin man through and through, the one true love of his musical life. Without Robert Plant, it just wasn't the same for him.

    Plant on the other hand touched on numerous genres and succeeded brilliantly all across the board. His is a very fine voice, he's a very intelligent and gracious gentleman and he remains very hip. He has spoke of making "age appropriate" music, when one thinks of him during The Song Remains The Same at MSG, chest out and crotch thrust forward, wailing like a banshee, I suppose that was age appropriate at the time - but hardly so today. Along with emerging from Jimmy's shadow and that of Zeppelin, the man genuinely has a knack for inhabiting songs and making them his own with that inimitable voice and brilliant phrasing.

    I could go on... Page never had the heart to put his all into anything Robert wasn't involved in, musically. Plant skillfully navigated his solo career and has always paid homage to Led Zeppelin without being constrained by it.

    There are a number of Robert Plant solo albums that are absolutely brilliant that seemingly no one has heard of. Dreamland, Mighty ReArranger and Sixty Six to Timbuktu come to mind.

    My two cents.

    Jim & Oroborous that was some funny stuff. I'm still smiling. My wife surely thinks I'm back on the sauce. I haven't heard that song since the days when I had to get up to change the channel.

    It's the Spectrum '73 for me at the moment. Had to throw a '73 Bird Song in the mix. Sounds close enough to Full Norman quality.

    P.S. I think I mentioned Uncle Gary here a couple times. He sent me The Orpheum 7/18/76 show from the radio broadcast. First time hearing it last week and it's wow....that would have been a good run to release as a box set. Hopefully we'll see this show released. Pretty sure DL said 7/18 was recorded on multitrack when DaP 18 came out. Jerry's soloing is off the wall.

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.

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 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!

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