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.

    So what's the Deal with the books?

    Always looking forward to new releases. I got the Hartford Whalers reference, but what's up with the books? I know there is or was insurance companies based in Hartford and United Technologies has a bunch of facilities out there, don't get the book reference. I went back a few pages but the vitriol that's been keeping me away is still present.

    Stay safe, wear a mask and vote! This Darkness Got To Give

    And if you're not checking out Bobby's FANs releases on his birthday, you should...

    More releases please!!!

    If you've paid for a subscription and you don't like the shows Dave puts out, I get it, but the formula has been pretty well set. Criticism is fine. I hear what you are saying. No problem. Not every show they put out ranks # 1 for me and some don't get much replay. But, if you really are upset, don't subscribe and take a chance on buying single shows when they come out. With the new 22,000 limit, it's worked for me. Also, don't we all have plenty of great GD from each era already? (NO WE DO NOT - Dave's Picks has definitely dropped some surprise gems on me and I do want more of that!)

    I've seen the Stones and JGeils live more than the GD but I don't need 100+ live shows of those bands. There were some great shows, I had a blast, but both see themselves as entertainers and put on a good show - meaning every show is an identical copy of the previous one, every solo is the same - or pretty close.

    The GD as we know were a whole different deal. If they played Bird Song in '89 the same as they played it in '73, then truly they would have been a cover band. For me, the circumstances decide on what GD I want to crank up. Some times call for a deep dive into some spacey '73 or some hard charging '72. Some times call for cracking some beers and blasting some '87 or '89 coliseum GD with Jerry ripping on the Tiger. They wrote some great songs late career that I want to hear. I wish this was the worst problem we had. Be safe - be well. Let the music play. Thank Dave! Keep 'em coming!

    This has gone pretty much as expected. Dave explains in the video why the show is worthy and acknowledges his bias since he was an attendee and it was his first show. What more do people expect?

    This to me is more exciting than a '77 show. I love '77 but we have almost every show now. The more I hear '87 the more I like it. And I love the Pig era, but how many 20 minute good lovins with Pig doing the same ol rap - get yo hands outta yo pockets - do we need?

    Nice to see some new ground being covered. To clear up a few things:

    Other003 - No one has said anything about 50 Dave's Picks. You just made that up. How about having some basis for saying something like that before you put it out there?

    Joshua - The crowd noise is not fake. Its mixed in from other recordings of the same show.

    Hi guys. I haven't posted in awhile so it is nice to be back.

    I am pumped for these two. After all, the last '87 we got was the Giants Stadium show which I loved! I was at the 3/26 show. (Could not make both since we had a 1 year old at home and I could not abandon the wife for 2 nights!) Loved the Midnight Hour opener and the China > Rider was killer. Quinn as the encore was great!

    I will not preach to anyone, but I am grateful for something new & different. The last matrix release in the DaP series was excellent. I love to hear the audience some! Really adds to the ambiance. If you don't want these shows just pass them on. You will have no problem selling them on ebay if you wish. But let's all stay friendly & respectful.

    Rock on

    Love the pick!

    It amazes me how aggressive people can be to each other on this board. I have a friend who swears you can tell who is voting for who by how narcissistic and combative they tend to be, even in general discourse over a pleasant topic like music.

    I trust Dick's ear and love whatever he's serving up. Yes, I'm a '73, '77, '72, '70 fan (in that order), but I love the diversity. 2 80's DP's on a row? Awesome. 2 shows in one "DaP"? AWESOME AWESOME. (So technically 3 80's shows in a row). 2 "Esau's" in consecutive picks, YES! Uncle John's >Morning Dew Jerry two-fer? YES! "Push Comes to Shove"? - well ya gotta eat your vegetables.....

    Happy for Spacebro and RV3 (is he still lurking?) for the 1-2 punch of 80's DP's.. You've earned it!

    Can't wait to get this and give it a spin!

    The sick looking whales are…

    The sick looking whales are a tribute to the WHA/NHL Hartford Whalers hockey team that used to play in the building. Great logo and supported by a smaller city, sad that they were whisked away for the almighty dollar.

    Hartford is known for being the insurance capital of the world, not sure how books come into play.

    Thanks for two more shows. To the judges/experts who wish to share their self-important critiques about the shows about to be released, thanks for sharing. I’m sure others on this board can’t wait for your next review so they can make an “informed choice”. From me to you, f**k off.
    Thanks for the shows Dave. Let the music play.

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!
