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.

    What's With All the Books?

    If you look closely at the cover of DaP 36, the city that the Whales are flying over is comprised of buildings that are actually books. I've never been to Hartford, so I don't know if there is any strong connection to publishing or libraries. Does anyone have any clues if these concerts have any tie-in to literature? (or maybe the artist was just being trippy...literally).

    I look forward to these shows

    Only saw the band twice, in 10/1984 (Syracuse dome!) 7/4/87 (Sullivan Stadium, with Dylan -- man was it hot, I mean the weather; the show, not so much). I was more of a metal head / English folkie type at the time... So I missed these shows by a couple of whiskers.

    I look forward to them both. Some good, underrepresented songs on here: West LA, Desolation Row, Midnight Hour. And that's just the first disc!

    Would I love some '68 or '69 next time? Sure. But I'm happy for this, especially considering how little '80s has been released, as compared to other eras.

    Stay well everyone.

    Into our collective laps.
    Doesn't matter what it is to these ears; I am just incredibly appreciative for the ongoing outputs crafted with obvious enthusiasm and effort. It means a lot to me to have such a steadfast go-to every few months, with other surprises sprinkled in. As another commenter stated more eloquently than I, this is f'in 2020 and we could use some happiness, positivity, hope, and fun.

    This music seems to offer all of the above and likely more.
    Keep it coming.

    Be Well People.

    You're either on the bus or off the bus, but

    ... but sometimes you can get off the bus and walk around for awhile, and then sooner or later there's another bus.

    This is the first Dave's Pick in a long time where I listened to the sound samples and thought, "I do NOT need to have this."

    I suppose some people like shows where you can hear the audience shouting along with the singer. I know it can be a really fun thing to do sometimes when you're at a show, and I suppose some musicians like it when an audience does that, so maybe it can contribute to a more high-energy performance.

    But as a rule I don't like hearing it when I'm at home listening to a live recording. It always reminds me of junk like 'Kiss Alive,' or 'Frampton Comes Alive,' where they piped in massive amounts of crowd noise, and the whole point seems to be to make you think, "wowee wow, that audience is going crazy! This music must be really exciting!" Rather than, you know, actually being able to hear the singer and the band.

    OK, this isn't THAT bad. And I'm not accusing anybody of amping up the crowd noise. But it's bad enough to be annoying, for me, even in those relatively brief clips.

    And listening to the 'Bird Song,' which is normally one of my favorite tunes, it just seems like the band is trying to hard to make it ROCK AND ROLL, rather than letting the jam unfold, the way I prefer it to be.

    But that's me. I have my years and tours and shows I like, and some I don't like as much. And you have yours. A lot of people probably hear those same clips and think it sounds like a really great couple of high energy ROCK shows and rush to order it. I'm-a pass on this one.

    in the movie version of Fiddler on the Roof, Tevye is telling us about a rift that developed between two guys who disagreed about the age of a horse that one sold the other. Tevye murmurs ("it was 6 years old"), and then the entire village erupts into arguments.

    Whales, for the Hartford Whalers! Also, they look like buses... pretty nifty artwork!

    I have to say, it is nice to a.) not have to worry about the added costs, as I subscribe, and b.) to be excited for Grateful Dead music beyond any narrow time period. (That being said, there are far too many 78 releases... jk ;)

    Looking forward to this one, as with all the rest! A return to the Matrix is nice too!

    Peace

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! :)
