    "And with this incredibly tight batch of prime 1987 Grateful Dead, we’re thrilled to bring you Dave’s Picks Vol. 36, matching the number that will be forever tied to Dick’s legacy. 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.

    Furthur's shows were truly great performances and we were blessed to have them. They took risks and did not just "cover-band" telephone-it-in." I still listen to those Furthur shows which I attended -- they were great!

    I always felt it was shit dealt by bill on that one also. Times I saw John K with Furthur he was great! SHOULD have used him over Trey for 50,, but enough, a road well trod over.

    Yeah, was fortunate to see several shows at the Denver Fillmore early century with the “quintet”, Ryan Adams, Jackie Green, others?, and Susan and Derrick sitting in. Amazing stuff! Really dug all the cool shit we never got to see with the Dead. Like Viola a few times, awesome shit!
    Then saw a bunch of Further shows early on, including several at Red Rocks. Think I liked them even better.
    Still bums me out they way Billy dissed John K....

    I had to comment when I saw your post about Phil and his buddies.

    I saw them the night after Halloween at the Capitol Theatre in 2014. It seems like just yesterday, but that was six years ago. Wow.

    Viola to open the second set and H>S>F encore as well. Nels Cline and Danny Lebowitz sat in. One of the best Phil shows I have ever seen and certainly better than anything the GD performed in the later years. I came away very impressed by Lebo.

    No 36 here yet either in SF Bay

    Hey Estimating Prof -
    Just an FYI - 3 weeks ago customer service said they sent me a replacement 36 - I have still not received either one -
    I'll be contacting them again today. Sort of a bummer to get them so late, after all the comments are now slowly moving past the action -

    Dr. Rhino - next presidential election = Dave's Picks 52 = better ship that one well before or after the election

    Here here for Viola Lee Blues !! The GD sure start a heavy groove on that one, mix in some madness, and don't let up. Thanks Billy The Kid for the Cannon's Jug Stompers link to the original! Had not heard that one.

    I have nothing but love for the GD's arrangement of Viola Lee Blues. What a great song..

    As for Phil doing it? First glad you got to see him when he came your way, Dave. True.. with Phil's bands there can be some vocal challenges but I love seeing them, these guys can rock it. He is what pulled me out of my post Jerry rut and made me realize the flame is still shining bright. He played Viola in 2007 when I first saw him without the GD as well. I loved it.. the swirling pulsating timing changes, rainbow colored crescendo's.. what an amazing song. I was hooked on the first listen to their first studio album.

    And how about that Lake Tahoe version, or the one from the bonus tracks of the Valentines Day 68 road trips? Holy Swirling Macaroni Batman.. The only down side of a truly great Viola Lee Blues is one can get exhausted simply listening to it. I'd imagine if you created a playlist with nothing Viola Lee Blues and listened to it every day for a week, you would lose some weight.. but you also might need to spend some time with a good psychiatrist. :D

    Still no 36 for me either

    I'm also still in the boat of trying to resolve the issue that I don't think a DP 36 was ever shipped my way. Still no CD or any follow up from customer service on them supposedly providing a replacement.

    I would agree that communication with customer service seems much more difficult in years past. I purchase enough music from online vendors that I know that getting a replacement should not be this difficult.

    If anyone at dead.net is monitoring these threads. There seems to have been a significant issue in the distribution of this release! It would be great to feel like someone was trying to fix the situation!

    I'm generally not one to use this forum to air my complaints but this has been very frustrating.

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!
