    Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye! Gentle mistresses and most distinguished gentlemen, we have come upon the release of the DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 37, from the Fifteenth of April in the year Nineteen Seventy-Eight, at ye olde College Of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. Cast your waistcoats and your bonnets aside, the Grateful Dead are on steady gallop from the opening high-kick of "Mississippi Half-Step" into a where are we going? where have we been? "Passenger," followed by full-on versions of "Friend Of The Devil," "El Paso," "Brown-Eyed Women," and a double-barreled "Let It Grow>Deal." Catch your breath and straighten out your tricorne because the 2nd set shows no bounds with delightful takes ("Bertha>Good Lovin'," "One More Saturday Night") and introspection ("Candyman," "Playing In The Band"). Then - great fifes and drums - it's 15 minutes of "Rhythm Devils," with band and crew gathered round to amplify the merriment before delivering a rare incantation of "Not Fade Away>Morning Dew" that sets the soul alight. Pure jollification!

    The town crier's addendum:

    Three bags full! Lest you feel 4/15/78 beginneth and endeth too quickly, we've selected highlights from Civic Arena, Pittsburgh, PA, 4/18/78 to satisfy your fancy.

    I still have your original write up as a file on an older computer. I also think One Man did some extensive work/documentation on E72 and other tours.

    But all of this is heady stuff to me, just hard to keep up with this old brain...and I think I remember DHB's beer documentary.

    Didn’t Deadhead brewer do a deep dive a couple years ago?
    Or maybe I’m thinking of Sixtus?
    I know DHB did listening with specially pared beers...

    Sixtus - good post. I seem to have missed your posts on this year in the past - so apologies for that. You clearly have a lot to offer yourself in terms of write ups for 1972.

    Just got my shipping notice, hopefully everyone else who pre-ordered will get their tracking # before the end of today. Thank you also to Sixtus for that wonderful E72 Dark Star write up. I hope everyone here has a fantastic day :) much love ✌️

    I know I am not up to the task.. it took me a couple months to get through my first listen all those years ago. I think I'd still be on it if I took notes, rewinding.. taking copious notes, editing down the notes, reslistening then tossing my notes and starting over..

    I do like this writeup from the Internet Archive on the topic. There is a write-up for each show that is pretty close to my impression. I believe it was done before the box came out, so some of the recordings used were not nearly so stellar. Some good light GD listening.

    https://archive.org/post/304297/europe-72-notebook

    Funny.. I took a brief pause from my 71 stream of consciousness yesterday and picked up Lille France. What a great little show.. A+ in my book. Phil's comment is just about perfect, "it felt like he was playing in the midst of a French impressionist painting"

    re: E '72 Write Ups / KeithFan

    I concur. if there is anyone 'round here who purports a vast knowledge of the Europe 72 jaunt, it's KeithFan. It's quite an endeavor, and I know a bit from experience, as I had done this for each of the Dark Stars several years back as I awaited Boxzilla. Likely many have seen this before, but in the spirit of being a team player, I offer an encore sharing of these efforts while we now await word from KF on his uptake for the balance of the tour:

    Here goes....

    4/8/1972 - Wembly Empire Pool, London - 32 mins; intense/fast paced first leg up til about 10 mins then returns to DS theme for 1st verse; spacey post-verse til ~17 min, then pace picks up for a few minutes, followed by a brief meltdown; additional spaciness around 24 mins followed by another full meltdown; interesting groove established around 28 min that has hints of Sugar Mag (into which it segues, flawlessly). No second verse.

    4/14/1972 - Tivoli Concert Hall, Copenhagen, DK - 29 mins; loose first 10 mins not overly spacey; gets spacey around 11 mins; interesting groove establishes around 16 min to head into first verse w/interesting beat; heads off into intense nearly 7-minute jam inclusive of a very tight and fast Feelin Groovy jam; final 3 minutes are a meltdown. No second verse.

    4/17/1972 - Tivoli Concert Hall, Copenhagen, DK - 31 mins; spacey opening to about 7:30 when first DS theme emerges leading to 1st verse at 9:45. Spacey post-2nd verse tries to take off but melts further around 19 min; returns to a partial groove around 24:30 and closes out with spaceyness in the last 2 mins. No second verse.

    4/24/1972 - Rheinhalle, Dusseldorf, Germany - Split by Me & My Uncle; 26 mins 1st half, 14:30 second half. Spacey opening until about 8:45 where it coalesces and falls into first DS theme around 10:15 followed shortly by 1st verse with slow, sparse notes. Spacey feedback following verse until 15:45 and then picks up into an intense, fast paced jam for just under 2 minutes before it becomes dissonant again leading to major meltdown which eventually heads into Me & My Uncle with ease. Second half: spacey reintroduction persists until about 7 mins, where Keith leads-in with some piano phrasing and then the band follows into a tight fast paced jam where Jerry plays some lines back and forth as if in conversation with himself and then maintains an intense level effortlessly segueing into Wharf Rat. No second verse.

    4/29/1972 - Musikhalle, Hamburg, Denmark - 30 mins; spacey opening for ~5 mins, then enters a groove and Phil hints at the Feeling Groovy jam until it finally is joined by Jerry a minute later until about 8:00, then the floor drops out into space. DS theme appears at 14 min which leads to first verse. Spacey post-verse noodling leads to major meltdown, settling in at 22 mins with a fat, fast-paced Keith-led groove. Final 4 mins are spacey & lead to major melt #2, dropping into Sugar Mag as DS finally melts away. No second verse.

    5/4/1972 - Olympia Theatre, Paris - Split by drums; 19 mins 1st half; 17:34 2nd half. Spacey opening til about 6 mins when fast paced jam kicks in until 11:20, slowing down then resurrecting the DS theme into the first verse. 4 mins of space leads into drums. Second half post-drums is very spacey until 7 mins, then kicks into overdrive with a very high energy jam leading to a phenominal Feelin Groovy Jam for several minutes before settling into the second verse. DS dissipates into the Sugar Mag from E'72.

    5/7/1972 - Bickershaw Festival, Wigan, UK - 19:49 mins; decent, coherent jamming for the first several minutes that congeals nicely around 8 minutes. Bottom falls out around 10 mins and leads to some light noodling, cymbal fills and space. DS theme emerges at 14:23 and heads into 1st verse. Space fills the air through the remainder of the song until it totally breaks down into drums. No second verse.

    5/11/1972 - Rotterdam Civic Hall, Netherlands - Split by drums; 13:45 mins 1st half; 30:34 mins 2nd half; Opens with a light, airy jam that persists to congeal into a decent groove as it treads in and out of spacey phrasing. This settles into a mysterious sounding jam that grows with intensity without a return to the DS theme before dissolving into drums. Emerging from drums, Phil and Billy duel for 2 minutes before Jerry joins back in with some complimentary thoughts; the DS theme appears around 5 min followed by 1st verse. A few moments of spacey feedback give way to spacey noodling that devolves into a full blow chaotic meltdown, only to emerge around 19:30 into a very nice, fast paced groove that hints at Caution and PITB jams. This eventually dissolves and a light, sparse outro ends the song as it heads off into Sugar Mag. No second verse.

    5/18/1972 - Kongressaal, Muenchen, Denmark - 28:20 mins; almost 2 mins of noodling before opening notes from Phil; a loose jam ensues around the DS theme for the next several minutes and then decays. At ~9 min an interesting jam emerges, which eventually settles back into the DS theme and 1st verse around 14:30. The remainder of this DS is borderline chaos as it treads in and out of varying degrees of a meltdown until it settles into Morning Dew. No second verse.

    5/23/1972 - The Strand Lyceum, London - 30 mins; Spacey opening minutes lead to tight fast paced jam commencing around 3:30 for two minutes and then it settles into another spacey jam digressing to almost…nothing. Billy and Phil then have a small duel until ~13:30 when the rest of the band fills back into a delicate groove which grows to into a jam reminiscent of the post-Truckin' foray from E'72 until about 17 mins, when they drop into the DS theme and 1st verse. Ensuing is additional delicate spaciness that transgresses into a frenzied meltdown madness, and eventually settles into Morning Dew. No second verse.

    5/25/1972 - The Strand Lyceum, London - 34 mins, out of Wharf Rat. Strong opening with a groove almost from the beginning, no noodling around here in the first 7 minutes. Then turns very spacey until 15 mins when DS theme appears, and heads off into 1st verse. Post-verse finds a Billy, Phil, and Keith duel for several minutes. At 21 mins, Phil institutes a mellow Feeling Groovy jam, soon joined by the rest of the band until ~25 mins. Final minutes are dominated by space and then a monumental meltdown before heading off into Sugar Mag. No second verse.

    It is not even the beginning of the end..............

    50 years ago today…………

    April 29, 1971
    Fillmore East, New York City, New York

    Set 1: Truckin'-Bertha-It Hurts Me Too-Cumberland Blues>Me And My Uncle-Bird Song-Playing In The Band-Loser-Dark Hollow-Hard To Handle-Ripple-Me And Bobby McGee-Casey Jones

    Set 2: Morning Dew-Minglewood Blues-Sugar Magnolia-Black Peter-Beat It On Down The Line-Second That Emotion-Alligator>drums>jam>Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad>Cold Rain And Snow-China Cat Sunflower>I Know You Rider-Greatest Story Ever Told-Johnny B. Goode

    Encore: Uncle John's Band-Midnight Hour-And We Bid You Goodnight

    Don’t get me wrong, this is a very fine show, with more than its fair share of oddities and rarities. I enjoy the quirky goodness of any show that has a Dark Hollow and a Ripple, the Black Peter is wonderful, the Dew is powerful, and who doesn’t love an Alligator? And I sure do savor the CR&S coming out of GDTRFB, and the three song encore was the only time that happened all year.

    All that being said, almost without fail, this show was rated the best show of 1971 in Deadbase polls, which I never understood. Solid show—absolutely. Great last Fillmore East show by the Dead---you bet. Even so, maybe a teeny tiny microscopic step down from the previous night……………

    Rock on!!!

    But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning……

    Who’s going to write up 72?

    My vote would be Keith Fan. But it could also be a team effort. Anyway how about the liner notes to E72. Haven't they already been written up? teehee. H.A.D. waiting for this release. TMI?

    P.S. I'm not a robot.

Excited for you Bolo. Kids bring a lot of joy to this world.

Thanks for the video share.

Surprised to see the accordion player get a better introduction.. haha.

Good times!

Yup, the future Mrs. Big and I were at this baby! That second set was one for the ages... one big non-stopper. At the end of Saint we looked at each other and knew we would be in it for the long haul. By the time Brokedown ended, the whole place was in groupmind tears. Some things you never forget.

Been on a Dylan binge when not listening to the GD the last few weeks. I have to ask.. mainly because my heart has shifted.. what is your favorite Dylan studio album? and perhaps why (optional).

Sometimes the marbles within the grey matter shift ever so slightly and from that moment forward you think just a little bit differently.

I have been investigating...some lesser known bands of the shock variety

Like looking at pictures of car accidents or something

And

Of all things, i dug out an Enya cd.

The marbles in my grey matter have shifted, and are still settling

Nice to hear about your future heirs to the majestry and trickery Bolo!

Got over a foot of snow so far, on rain/snow line for next couple of hours so I raked the roof and snowblowed the plow debris before it gets heavy. Looking forward to my cassette upgrade of DaP37, latest to get is in two days. Got my two doses of covid vaccine. If you're eligible, I encourage everyone to get their vaccine. The second dose side effects is nothing in comparison to the day after going electric at a dead show. I had a minor frontal lobotomy headache for an hour, some chills, elevated temp, but was able to shred the trails a couple of hours after the family went out. Stay safe and those in the crazy zones please double up on the masking.

Recent non-Dead listens:
Bob Marley
Warren Zevon - talking about the man
Modest Mouse
King Crimson
Joni Mitchell
Radiohead

I miss seeing live music.

Two great shows the Dead played on Groundhogs Day. Love to get get the 1968 show released along with the rest of the shows the Dead played on the Great Tour of the Pacific Northwest as a box set. I'm hopeful it may happen. Check them out on the Archive.

Curiously the last 2 cds I played last night were by Bob Dylan. Not studio, though - the first two cds from the 1966 Live Recordings box set-Sydney 4/13/66. A great show, and an impressive box set-although the same set list, for the most part, is played at 23 consecutive concerts.

I keep playing King Crimson a lot these days, too, since seeing them for the first time about three years ago. Their box sets are really something else. I listen to a lot of discs from one called "Heaven and Earth"-consisting of live and studio recordings from about 1998-2006. I don't think I have any other box ( maybe Europe 72 and 30 Trips ) that has so much music in it-including whole discs of totally improvised music. Mind boggling!

Mine left Atlanta yesterday and has departed Heathrow, London today. So, unless it takes a magical mystery tour, it should still be in the UK. #36 took about 8 days to make the trip to my mail box once it reached Heathrow so I’m still being patient.

Mostly been listening to old stuff recently, Tapestry by Carole King, 50 years and still fantastic, The Big Huge by the Incredible String Band, even older and probably high in my top ten albums although my list of top ten albums probably runs into the dozens!
Free Jazz by Ornette Coleman, older still and sounding so modern.

Keep well everyone and hope for better days.

I suspect this year's box set will be outtakes of "What's Become of the Baby" with a bonus disc of the "Barbed Wire Whipping Party."

I mean, all the clues fit, no?

This one has a little of everything - but in the Seaside Chat I think Dave got it wrong. He said he thought "Passenger" almost derailed before getting the shit back on track and that the "Brown-Eyed Women was "interesting" and a "little different". Id say the Brown-Eyed Women was pretty much a sloppy train-wreck and the rebound to get it back on track was the absolutely SUBLIME Let it Grow and great Deal. The show as a whole sort of feels like that - some really great high energy 78 stuff and moments of kinda sloppy barely held-together mess (The Saturday Night encore is weird to my ear). That said the bonus stuff seemed way more consistent and makes the whole release a win - I dont think Id be that stoked on just the 4/15 show alone. Id be good if we stepped away from 78/79 for a while myself

Love love love me some Dylan. Sure, everyone knows Highway 61 and Blood on the Tracks and Blonde on Blonde and Desire.

A few of my hidden gems through the years:

Street Legal - Changing of the Guards and Senor are great but the whole album has a great vibe.

Planet Waves - So many great tunes. Tough Mama, On a Night Like This, Hazel, of course Forever Young

Pat Garret and Billy the Kid - So chill. Great summertime back porch listening.

I've really enjoyed the Bootleg Series they've been putting out too, and particularly the big box from the "religious years" called Trouble No More which has some fantastic stuff you'll never find anywhere else: Covenant Woman, Caribbean Wind, Pressing On, Watered Down Love, precious Angel, etc, etc, etc,

and finally

Bootleg Series Volume 10, a two discer with tons of stripped down versions of some great sutff that you dont hear much from the '69-'71 timeframe.

I didn't receive a shipping notice, but DaP #37 showed up in the mail on the 1st. After listening to the whole release, I think the 4/15 show is OK, but I really believe the 4/18 filler material is the best part of this release!

Slow Dog Noodle reminded me of the soundtrack of the movie Pat Garret and Billie the Kid. That movie really struck a chord with my high schools friends and became a cult favorite for us. Knockin' on Heaven's Door always reminds me of Dylan's cameo in the film where he is one of the bystanding cowboys in a tense scene where to keep him busy they have him read the labels on the canned goods on the wall. "Beans." his character Alias says. And keeps reading aloud until the gunfire starts. I think Alias gets a few more lines somewhere in there. Dylan was paid $200K for the role which back then was quite a bit for a bit part, but I'd guess he did better on the soundtrack album. Some reviews have it as his worst album but they didn't even like Knockin' so screw 'em if they can't take a joke.
Why hasn't this sold out? Even average '78 is OK by me. Cheers!

Watched Rolling Thunder Review a few nights ago, wow!
Pretty cool; interviews, behind the scenes, interesting “characters”, cool historic perspective, and the music is awesome.
It’s not a concert video, but has several songs played, many off of Desire, including Scarlet Rivera sp? On Violin....chick is kinda out there (she even has a BFA sticker on her fiddle!)...some of the coolest Dylan I’ve seen. Kinda funny hoe there’s like five guitars sometimes??
If you dig Dylan and haven’t checked this out, or even if your not a big Dylan fan, you’ll probably enjoy this. Just the access and historical perspective and the characters alone are interesting enough...

GIMME SOME TRUTH; just picked this mini box up. Crazy how relevant to the times many of these songs still are. Surprisingly I’ve only had Imagine out of all the ex Beatle solo albums. Got this one which is sorta a best of, Yoko picked historical perspective; songs that meant a lot to John or reflect where he was at the time etc...
Also picked up Plastic Ono Band, Ringo’s “Ringo” and Photograph, Paul’s Ram and Flowers In The Dirt. Post Waters Floyd albums and David Gilmore’s first solo album since I dig On an Island so much.
Still need Band on the run and Gearge stuff. Have Paul’s first on vinyl. From what I’ve read, I think the Gearge stuff is going to get “the treatment” soon so I’m gonna wait and see.
So been digging lots of new to me cool stuff along with trying to explore more 90s dead and get as many pick of the days in as I can too!

Edit: oh yeah, and can’t forget 37, aka BFF Phil Show ; )
Think mines at the PO, guess I’ll have to go out into town and pick er up!
It sucks Covid wise that we have to go to the window to receive it. Used to put a key in your box to pick up after hours.

For those who have their copy, have you noticed its the same picture from #15, I would have thought they would take the chance to expose other cool pics in this glorious format, oh well still awesome!

Friday night I was fumbling thru youtube to see if there was anything new. Did find a new Dinner and A Movie by Phish. From 2003, will watch tomorrow night.

Ran across for the first time GD 12-31-81. It was a good video of a sweet new year's. I watched the first set by itself, i.e. no second or thrid set attached, and it sounded very good. Then went back and watched the whole show, minus the first set, and it was still good. Sound not quite as good, and some technical issues related to the transfer. That is, video and audio did not match up some of the time.

I really enjoyed it. Was nice to set a set I had never seen before and only heard parts of on an old hissy fit cassette.

Then Sunday I watched the Phish Dinner and a Movie. It was very good also. It was from 2003 Charlotte, NC. I was watching and about the second song, I noticed this seems familiar. Then I had the moment, you know, when I realized I attended this show. So I really enjoyed it as I had not heard much less seen it since July of 2003. NIce little ride into memories past.

Still no updates on #37 yet. It has shipped but still not updating. The one thing I do like about UPS mail innoations is that I believe there is less risk of theft in the system (or carelessness) that may be a problem with USPS.

Hope all are enjoying Groundhog Day, not sure if Phil saw his shadow. May have to watch the movies as it is on all day.

Love the February shows talk...good stuff.

G

Edit: HEY NOW Bolo and Vguy: Congrats Bolo! Awesome! And Vguy, WOW!

#16003 made it to the edge of the world...never recieved an email shipment notice (it'll probably show up in my email a week from now)...

I never received an email that Dave's Picks 37 had shipped, but now the post office is claiming that they delivered it last Friday. Unfortunately, it never came. And thanks to COVID, I'm home all day and check regularly for packages, etc. Maybe they delivered it to the wrong address? My question is, is that something that Dead.net will replace or do I have to re-purchase? I know it will sell out soon. I've purchased every Dead release since One From The Vault. Every Dick's Picks, Dave's Picks, Road Trips, Box Sets, etc. And Williamsburg '78 is a favorite show! I'd hate not to have it in the collection.

Anyone know how this works if the PO says it was delivered, but it wasn't?

Thanks in advance.

I have my tracking info but it leads no where. DaP 32 and 36 were both shipped to the wrong address, despite the invoices having the correct address. I'm a little concerned that DaP 37 is headed in the same direction. I get that we all love the physical object, but downloads are so much easier. The music is great, but Dead.net has never been good with shipping or customer service. It is insanity to think that after all these years they (yes, YOU!) would put it together or even respond to the overwhelming volume of feedback. Why is this so difficult?

Sound quality is very nice.
Half-Step is rockin’, reminiscent of 11-6-77.
A hiccup in Passenger. Or was it just a brief pause to extinguish the flames on their hands?
On FOTD now, seems standard (but it’s not done).

I reserve the right to modify my impressions after future subsequent listens......

I’ll listen to the main course first, followed by filler for dessert.

Downloads:
Careful what you wish for.
Amazingly, (not really) Rhino consistently screws those up.
Check out commentary on other boards that cover releases that included a download option. Defective files, missing tracks, wrong bitrate, links that don’t work, etc, etc.
Or just ask Dennis, he has first-hand experience.

Hal,
That sucks, but is somewhat par for the course.
I think that I had something like that happen before, and it showed up a day or two (or 3 or 4) later.
You could order another copy if it isn’t sold out yet and hope that you actually receive it. Eventually you might have 2 copies and can sell or gift one of them.

Sounded like a pause to regroup.
But I didn’t rewind to confirm. Will wait for the next listen to reevaluate.

I was in another room for Let It Grow and it was only background music.

Which is why I will get multiple listens this week.

Must fully absorb.

Now I’m back on FOTD and it sounds better too.

Besides now being in front of the speakers, I turned up the volume too.

LOL... Got mine today, so after dinner told my wife I will be in my Music Room listening to my new DaP. She actually "had to" ask me a question smack in the middle of Let it Grow... the audacity!! LOL :-) So now I am restarting and thoroughly digging it... uninterrupted :-) This disc is really clean! Great quality... just love it! Thanks Dave... oh, and Dave, I got myself and my dog the Workingman's Dead outer jackets... I love mine more than she does, but looks good to see you wearing in in this episode of Seaside Chats :-) iGrateful

Does your mail usually come between 2-4 pm?
If it usually comes in the morning then you have a pretty argument.
Also, do you have confirmation that UPS actually handed it off to USPS? If UPS still has it then USPS is lying

Yeah, spoke with UPS. They handed it over to USPS and then USPS claims they delivered it on Friday at 3:08pm. I'm gonna go ahead and order another since I haven't heard back from customer service at Dead.net yet. I don't want it to sell out and then I miss out entirely. :(

Sound quality on this release is real and spectacular.

I don’t recall having this show on cassette and don’t know if I’ve heard it before in the digital realm.
Looking forward to multiple listens in the near future to get the Fully Normanized Betty Experience.

I’m not even to the filler yet......

And yes, kind robot, I am not a robot.
