    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.

    MERRY CHRISTMAS--offering new sealed Daves 35 and 36 at cost

    mistakenly ordered two subscriptions this year and would like to offer Daves 35 and 36 as a package deal for cost plus shipping (around $65-$70 total). My only request (honor system) is that you don't buy to flip on eBay but rather listen and enjoy. For any or you who missed out, first one who PM's me gets them. I'll even try to get to you to get under your tree on 12/25 (but no guarantees).

    Stray Cats and Gretsch Guitars

    I had just finished reading a Brian Setzer interview in which he praises Gretsch Guitars when, lo and behold, up came the guitar discussion here. If anyone is interested there is a link to the article below. I always loved The Stray Cats!

    Fantastic instruments. I have only bought budget ones apart from an entry level American model, a pink paisley Japanese model...and a few years ago I saw one of the original three pickup James Burton's from the 90s-going for a song as they have since been updated. Its a great guitar, but perhaps not the one to choose for classic tele tones.

    I've owned over 100 guitars in the last 50 years(bought, sold, traded - it's a disease), and no matter what, I always go back to Telecasters; they're built like tanks, and I can get pretty much any sound(except metal.) My next favorite is the Les Paul Special TV yellow, these have the raunchiest P-90s ever created.
    Martin made some nice archtops with Dynasonics in the 60s, they sound just like Gretsches and are cheaper. I love old Guilds too...had a '56 M75 Aristocrat, it was Guild's answer to the Les Paul; fantastic guitar, similar as a LP but the
    body was chambered. Also had a Gretsch-made Bigsby repro of Billy Byrd's guitar that looked and sounded great.

    He's actually quite versatile, Brian Setzer. He can finger pluck with the best of them. In a typical performance he throws in jazz, blues, blue grass, country, rock n' roll-everything but the kitchen sink, really. And sometimes that too. I have one live dvd where he plays "The Race is On"...on a banjo! I've only ever seen him play with The Stray Cats-I'd love to see The Brian Setzer Orchestra live. Not likely to happen!

    I got into rock n' roll, as opposed to rock, in 1981 when I first saw The Stray Cats and The Cramps. Same year as I saw The Dead-but they seemed to disappear off the map shortly after I saw them. The Cramps came over at least once every other year throughout the 1980s. Up until then I had thought rock n' roll was a bit of a joke. Big fat Teddy Boys in their 40s. Which was old to me at the time. But The Cramps shone a different kind of light on the 1950s and early 60s, and as the 80s were a bit vapid, that was where I chose to go.

    Townshend's Gretsch

    The one Walsh gave him was used almost exclusively for recording from Who's Next on to apparently the present day according to a recent interview. Walsh, who is also not really known as a Gretsch guy, loved the guitar, but thought Townshend could make better use of it sonically, and he was right. That chambered body and his use of feedback create rich tones. The SG period was 1968-71, then numbered Les Pauls from 1972 until 1982, when a Telecaster was added. The Gretsch was used and smashed on a Top of the Pops "performance". I think it was 5:15. Most of his smashed guitars, he and Bobby Pridden would fix after the show. I think he did play the Gretsch at the Concert for Eric Clapton at the Rainbow in 1973 to get Clapton off heroin, at which Clapton oddly played a Les Paul.

    When I think of the Pete Townsend sound I think SG through a Marshall halfstack or 6.

    A big orange Gretsch makes me thing Chet Atkins. I haven't played a lot of Gretsch guitars admittedly. I'd like to try out one of those Chet models. I know Setzer is known as a Gretsch player; he's closer to Townsend than Atkins.

    I bought a PRS in May this year. Its my first and I get what eveyone is talking about. The attention to detail, quality and playability are stunning. I also get the point that they don't seem to have that distinct tone of a Lespaul or strat.

    I'm planning on getting another PRS though, over anything else. I'm blown away by the craftsmanship.

    Alvarhanso-yes, that's a great sound that Pete Townshend got with that orange Gretsch.

    Gretsch's come fitted with various different pickups, but the main two would seem to be single coil dynasonics, or humbuckers-the modern ones styled by T.V.Jones. The choice of amplifier is obviously a massive component in producing the sound, but basically, the humbuckers seem more disposed to produce the crunch, and the single coils the twang. Personally, I go for the twang - so many greats - a favourite among many is Cliff Gallup who got a great glassy tone with Gene Vincent with his Gretsch Duo Jet. Which looked a bit like a Les Paul, but was hollow.

    Perhaps I should also add that I too am a crap guitarist. If a thing is worth doing, and you can't do it well - it's still worth doing it badly in my books.

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! :)
