    Welcome to The Eleven(th) year of the Dave's Picks series! The momentum of the series keeps moving forward, and we can truly say there is no end in sight to the series. As we've said before, as long as you keep digging and supporting the series, we'll keep putting them out. Which is to say a huge thank you for keeping the series going! We do what we do because of you, and you keep inspiring us to do our best. And above all, you make it fun! As odd and challenging a year 2021 was, we were able to release five (!) incredible Grateful Dead shows in 2021 through the Dave's Picks series, starting with the magnificent Vol. 37 from 4/15/78, to Nassau on 9/8/73, the Spectrum on 4/26/83, and most recently 7/18/90 AND 7/19/90. Plus a healthy amount of bonus material where it would fit and where appropriate. Oh, and the subscribers' Bonus Disc from 9/7/73 that came with Vol. 38. As great as the four from 2021 were, we're already feeling 2022 will outdo it, and we've only selected Vol. 41 and Vol. 42 so far, as well as a lot of progress toward Vol. 43. But that's all for another time. For now, please know how much your enthusiasm means to us. We get as excited as you do every time a Dave's Picks is released. So thanks for coming along for the ride, and sharing the journey with us. We have a wonderful year of Grateful Dead archival releases ahead, and we can't wait to share it all with you.

    Is there anything better than the Dead automatically showing up at your door four times a year? We think not. We're holding steady with a numbered, limited-edition of 25,000 for each of the four Dave's Picks 2022 releases. But make no mistake, the best bet is to subscribe, sit back, and relax because you never know how fast each title will go when we put them up for sale, and there have been plenty of times where we're done in a day.

    If you're new here, in addition to the four releases in 2022, totaling 12 CDs, you’ll also get the subscription exclusive bonus disc, which remains one of the most highly sought-after collectables we release, and free domestic shipping. Subscriber bonus discs are not released outside of this offer. Early bird subscribers can nab a sub at $99.98 (regular pricing will be $115.92).

    Everything SOUNDS better with a side of GD68

    Everything TASTES better with a side (or front) of 1968 Eva Gabor.

    I tell ya, I'm smitten....

    Yes, I think that it is a loop, you keep hearing the same woman scream.
    Seems worse at the beginning of the DVD, the end with Sweet Home Alabama and Freebird might have a different audience track.

    I remember reading about that once. If it's the same show I'm thinking of, I read that the audience overdubs are also a relatively short loop. So if you listen closely enough. The same audience sounds should be repeating every 15 minutes or so with maybe the exception of volume fades between songs. Pretty sure this is the show I read about.

    That's a pretty good idea. My original tape of 5/2/70 included the New Riders set, and it added to the aura of the show as a whole. It felt like a historical document -even though it was only about 17 years old when I first heard it.

    I had a thought about something different for a bonus disc. Probably too late for 2022, but perhaps it's worth mentioning for future years. When I first started seeing the Dead, the New Riders opened for them. I was thinking that if you use a show for Dave's Picks at which the New Riders opened, and there's a decent recording of the Riders set, a fun bonus disc would be the New Riders set at that show. Also, just totally selfishly, I pretty much only saw the Grateful Dead at their Michigan shows, so I'd love a Michigan show as a Picks (my favorite - other than my first show on March 11, 1971, for which I'm sure there's no tape - was Crisler Arena, Ann Arbor, April 6, 1989).

    ....Phish does a decent cover of it. But they totally slay 1999. Man o man.
    I would linq a video of them getting the entire arena down at the MGM Grand Garden when they busted that dance fest out, but.....rules.

Dave's Picks #1 on vinyl was announced end of last year with Ltd #s. I think it took a few weeks to sell out, but not shipping until June sometime. Finally get to have my missing Dave's Pick in physical format. Would love to supplement it with the CD version too (for the completionist in me)...

I think today may be last day to buy a subscription. Ever since missing out on DaP1, have subscribed every year since. The early bird special makes it a no brainer of a lovely Christmas present from my daughter every year...

Happy New Year!
