Dick’s Picks Vol. 36 — 9/21/72 Philadelphia, PA
In this week’s episode of 36 From The Vault, we celebrate the Series Finale of Dick’s Picks as well as the Series Finale of 36 From The Vault. Featuring a complete show from Philadelphia, PA on 9/21/72, we also hear segments of 9/3/72 from Boulder, CO. One of the greatest Dick’s Picks of all time, it’s a fitting conclusion to the series and yet another showcase of the brilliance of September 1972.
Disc One features the majority of Set One from 9/21/72 which includes a brilliant “Bird Song” as well a stunning take on “Loser.” A loose and vibey “China Cat Sunflower>I Know You Rider” showcases the standards heavy Set I played with exceptional verve. Disc Two straddles Set One and Two from 9/21/71 and is highlighted by an outstanding “Playing In The Band” closer before “He’s Gone>Truckin’” brings us into the second frame.
An elongated 4+hr show, the staple of Disc Three is an absolutely incredible “Dark Star>Morning Dew.” Nearly 50min of stunning music, including 35+min of deep 1972 jamming, this is one of the greatest pieces of music released in the entire Dick’s Picks series. Disc Four closes out the Spectrum show before giving us a three song snapshot from Folsom Field with “He’s Gone> The Other One> Wharf Rat.” And with that, we’ve finally reached the end of the Dick’s Picks series. Thank you to everyone who has joined us for this long, strange trip.

Dick’s Picks Vol. 35 — 8/7/71 + 8/24/71 + 8/6/71 San Diego, CA / Chicago, IL / Hollywood, CA
In this week’s episode of 36 From The Vault, we visit 1971 for the very first time since Dick’s Picks Vol. 2, for a very special set of shows, unheard of by any fan until 2005. Featuring the complete shows from 8/7/71 in San Diego, CA and 8/24/71 in Chicago, IL, along with snippets of 8/6/71 in Hollywood, CA, it’s a fascinating peek into the evolving nature of The Dead on the cusp of their 1972 renaissance period.
Disc One features the complete first set from 8/24 + the “Truckin’” Set II Opener. Disc One is highlighted by a brilliant “Hard To Handle,” making its Dick’s Picks debut. On Disc Two we hear a tight take on “China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider” plus a stunning “Sing Me Back Home.” The highlight might very well be the incredible jam out of “Going Down The Road Feelin’ Bad” which then segues into “Johnny B Goode.”
Disc Three picks up the thread in Chicago and features a gorgeous cut of Pigpen’s “Empty Pages,” alongside a still-in-progress “Brown-Eyed Women.” Later, “Not Fade Away -> GDTRFB -> NFA” shines in the fusion between country jammin’ and punkish psychedelia.
Disc Four closes the set with a segment from the 8/6 show in Hollywood and features some of the only improv of the set in the way of “The Other One -> Me & My Uncle -> The Other One.” A haunting “Morning Dew” leads to a 25min “Lovelight” closer which shines a light on the wonders of Pigpen in the twilight of his life.

Just like a Dead show.....
.....long and meandering, but compelling too. Made me laugh when the latest popped up in my feed: 2 hours and 28 minutes, just on DP5!
For one of about 20 Deadheads here in the U.K., it feeds the need for Dead trivia. Can’t think of anything better to listen to whilst out walking my dachshund.
One for the patient Deadhead
It’s a nice concept but without any of the actual music from these shows it’s a little too long and heavy going . One to dip into ? However the shows in question are currently all available on Spotify if you want to access the music after the podcast. Good luck to the guys but I won’t be sticking around for all 36 podcasts. Full on Deadheads are probably gonna love it though.
It’s a start...
I’ve listened to the first one (& am halfway through the second) & will confirm that there is a flow to the podcast which echoes the flow of a show, so kudos there.
I do think the pods are overlong, in comparison to the source but, more importantly, there’s a few things which would improve it so much,
1) a little more homework would be welcome, before the show- there were a fair few factual errors in there, which I found niggled me (picky Deadheads, huh???) & I found myself wanting to jump in
2) this might not be possible for licencing reasons, but it would make a MASSIVE difference to have excerpts of the actual tracks on there to talk around & be able to reference the musical highlights- even if they had to use studio versions, it would help maintain focus & interest.
All meant in a constructive sense & with best wishes for helping these shows take off... and if you want a UK diehard Deadhead to contribute, I’m ready when you are!
