    "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.

    *2 per order. Very limited quantity available.

    Dave’s Picks 36 —Wonderfully Immersive

    I am wondering what percentage of the commenters who are ragging on this outstanding set of disks never attended an ‘80s show—or never attended any Dead concert whatsoever. And even for those who did, I’m theorizing the negative remarks are signs of enviousness from people who never threw themselves head-over-heals into the joyous, immersive , full-participation experience that this release documents and recreates. There’s got to be some reason beyond the recording itself that some people choose to be so publicly nit-picky and snobby about such a wonderful recording that few Heads back in the day ever imagined being able hold and marvel at decades later. If you prefer studio recordings or cotton-swabbed, white-glove approximations of the live experience, you have plenty to choose from. But for those seeking an immersive re-creation of a stellar live experience of a straight-forward, tightly-conceived, in-your-face, not-outer-space show, that’s what Dave’s Picks 36 is about. It is an achievement worthy of respect, regardless of personal preferences and trivial pet peeves.

    Happy for Dave memorializing his first show and happy for everyone who loves this release. I'm not a fan of the matrix recording. It sounds like a good audience recording which is ok once in a while but not really what I want from an official release.

    Billy the Kid - that's a great piece of music by Rev Gary Davis you posted. Beyond technique- so pure.

    Its amazing to me that the Dead's version on Live Dead also captures the feeling. And that they do this without copying the musical arrangement created by Gary Davis. They seemed to connect with the the spirit of the song without getting hung up on the form. The mark of a truly great band.

    Yes, that's how it sounds to me too. I enjoyed the first cd, but its a bit wearing by the time of the second. I can't say I feel much like listening to 3/27 today if its more of the same. Just as well I have AB here..

    I was surprised to hear the matrix recording. I have mixed feelings about it, but overall, it's quite enjoyable. I really does kind of sound like you're there.

    Understand that Healy started making these "ultramatrix" recordings around this time, and he mixed in 50% audience and 50% soundboard. I like the effect, but I could do with a little less audience. Apparently, Healy felt the same way, as he eventually settled on a 70-30 mix for later shows. I'd love to hear some of those.

    One thing I like about this is that it's a recording that, as far as I know, isn't already available on Archive.org. A lot of the recent releases (and the next one, as I'm told) have been great shows, but the recordings have been only marginal upgrades from what was already available. It's nice to have something new.

    I have been waiting 33 years for this. What's another week between friends? Doubtful tomorrow, but the last leg gets delivered by USPS who does deliver here on Saturday's.. so who knows. It's quite possible part of this holdup lies in politics which is completely not provable but a shame nonetheless. Perhaps shameless is a better word.

    I will be happy when my 36 shows up, but I am in no hurry.. it will come when it's ready.

    Keep up the steady pace of releases dead.net.

You’re making a fine and productive use of your retirement time.

Does that Urdu advertisement say anything about the automatic bath and maintenance equipment going on sale for Black Friday?

Urdu is a language predominantly spoken by muslims whose holy day is Friday. I don't know for sure but I suspect this could have a detrimental impact on Black Friday shopping sprees.

Great prices, be sure to read the fine print though.. shipping from Rawalpindi and Islamabad can be a real budget breaker.

Give these folks some credit for understanding and leveraging a deadheads strong passion for cleanliness and personal hygiene. Marketing geniuses to be sure, once they figure out the subtleties of matching the countries they advertise in with the languages commonly spoken in these countries, they are sure to dominate the global automatic bathroom market. Business tycoons in the making and a great stock tip to help your 401k, you heard it first here at dead.net, watch and learn Jim Cramer.

What's the best show to listen to when contemplating the finer points of bathroom automation? Binghamton perhaps, a little over an hours drive from Bath NY. Four shows played in Binghamton from 1970 to 1983.

05/02/70- Harpur College - Binghamton, NY
11/06/77- Broome County Arena - Binghamton, NY
05/09/79- Broome County Arena - Binghamton, NY
04/12/83- Broome County Arena - Binghamton, NY

Edit: this post is going to look pretty silly when they purge this thread of the aforementioned bathroom automation spam written in Urdu.

about household baths is a dirty job, but someone has to do it!
Good work!
Speaking of automated toilets...in many of the mansions we work in there are automatic toilets, some costing thousands of dollars. The GCs generally don’t let us riffraff use the toilets, especially the expensive automated ones. So my old working partner had this thing about poaching toilets, especially if specifically told not to do so lol.
He became quite adept at it including the use of let’s say the worlds greatest female skiers master bath LOL (can’t name names due to NDAs etc)

BINGOTOWN, woohoo 4/12/83 first show tripping (in first row!)

EDIT: I believe they can be customized with gold trim

Has anyone else gotten their copy of GarciaLive 15? I got mine about a week ago. Someone asked how I got so soon, no idea. Then today I got an email say it will mailed in 9 day!?!?! Odd?

Update on the download front for AB - Angel Share. Still no word!

BTW - Garcia Live 15 is alright. The Keystone Korner Jam was very nice. Has Martin Fierro on sax on several cuts, I always enjoy when he sits in.

If I don't type again till after Bird-Day, hope everyone has a good one. Got 25 lbs of young tom waiting to be rubbed and baked, followed by a good basting and baking of said cook.

Enjoy

Funny you mention about Garcia 15, I was wondering the same thing. I’m glad you got yours. Nothing here, but tracking said mine just left New Jersey, and as I’m in the Toronto area, it will sit at customs until it is Garcia 17. Looking forward to it, the two tunes I’ve heard were incredible. The Garcia family has done a great job on this series, offering up stellar shows (but I liked the Pure Jerry series too)!
Happy (early) Thanksgiving to all of you celebrating this week! You have all endured this horrible pandemic, a tough national election, and some tough economic times. You deserve a great time with family and friends.

Hi All,

Still no DP36 for me in California. I have contacted the customer service twice and they said they would get something shipped out from warehouse, but it has been almost two weeks and no notice of a new shipment. This one hasn't gone down well for me.

Does anyone know if there is still a Dr Rhino? Can someone share contact email for Dr Rhino?
Feeling like that is the next step. Customer service calls don't seem to be getting me anywhere.

Did other people who were still waiting a week or two ago in US get their cds ?

U.S.P.S. tracking had my Dav36 on 10/30 at a post office in The Bronx N.Y. -- where I live. And then. . .. nothing for weeks! No information was updated during those weeks. It finally arrived 11/17 without a delivery notification email alert. I see you are in California and Daves are routed through Carlsbad Ca. Go figure? Good luck!

A just exactly perfect Daves

At some point Thanksgiving morning, our boys now always ask about when we're going to listen to Alice's Restaurant. Makes me proud.

Here in the Twin Cities we have a group of musicians who re-create most of The Last Waltz live each year. They dress up and do all the stage banter and it's great fun. They used to do it Thanksgiving weekend, but more recently they've moved it to other times of the year, when folks aren't out of town.

For those of you who are annoyed by such, I suggest the 9/19/70 Dark Star.

Happy Turkey Day to all. After the feast, we pop in Christmas Vacation. Always funny and never gets old.

Last Waltz - Acadian Driftwood is a vastly underrated song and should have been included in the movie.

Contacted the store about three times now with the same automated response after they had to replace my original order. If I ever see the light of day with this package that would make my year but seriously just so disappointing to see this from Warner Music >:(. Otherwise, very grateful for everything and everyone on here, y'all rock! :)
