The unexpected return of the masters of the Grateful Dead's triumphant show at the Albuquerque Civic Auditorium, November 17, 1971, yields great rewards. The Dead came in HOT for their first New Mexico show. Aided by clarity and precision and abetted by confidence and focus, they finessed old standards with definitive takes. With Keith now blending in seamlessly on keys, the first set offered up a triple shot of electric Blues, an exceptional "You Win Again," and a stellar "One More Saturday Night" to wrap things up. And the second set, well, it might just be unlike any you've ever heard. Archivist David Lemieux urges you to turn it up and do it loudly. We won't dare spoil all the surprises, but pay special attention to the rippin' "Sugar Magnolia," the aggressively monstrous "The Other One," and the highly-danceable "Not Fade>GDTRFB>Not Fade." Rounding out the 3CDs, you'll find selections from Pigpen's return tour at Ann Arbor, MI, 12/14/71. Subscribers will get nearly all of the complete show as this year's bonus disc.
As always, Dave's Picks Volume 26 has been mastered to HDCD specs from the original analog tapes by Jeffrey Norman and is limited to 18,000 individually-numbered copies*.
*Limited to 2 per order. Very limited quantity available.
Right On Dave!
Can't wait to hear these two 71 shows straight through in great quality!
Thanks Dave!!
I am an annual subscriber from the first year so I never miss a release.Anytime a Dave's arrives is a very, very good day(s). Thank you Sir!
Excited For This One
I believe this one is Doc approved. I get a little giddy when non-circulating, high quality reels get the Full Norman and release treatment.
VGuy says, "Are those balloons.... full of nitrous?" Classic.. cracked me up.
2 Great late '71 shows
Can't wait to hear these 2 shows for the price of one. Thank god I subscribed to get the bonus disk to get most of the 12/14/71 show. I wonder what was left out from that 12/14 show and if they just don't have the rest of the songs in their archive or decided to leave some songs off because it can't fit on 2 CDs? Either way Keith and Pigpen both in the mix is a great thing.
Nice!
I'm ready for some more 71.

Bonus disc and no covers?
2013 Dave's Picks Bonus disc had two covers. Smokestack Lightning & Good Lovin...must've caused some problems.
------------------------------------------
I'm off to check out 5/21/74 and the 46 minute Playin in the Band
From the Basement, Dave...
We got a thing, and a thing, another thing, #27 #28 coming up in 2018.
Looks like we got Anthem 50th and two boxes still to come.
mustin321 / Bonus Disc Covers
I'll bet the Bonus Disc / Covers "rule" does not apply when the song is in "public domain" (public domain means the artist and / or their legal entity has been dead / dissolved for x number of years). Maybe Good Lovin' and Smokestack Lightning are public domain tunes.

So three "other projects" going on the year... one of which is probably MUATM, but perhaps 2 boxes?
And sounds like they'll be doing something that they've never done before.... I wonder if that could be a collection of early GD show fragments w/ Pig....
ORDERING NIGHTMARE !
UNBELIEVABLE !I was on the Phone for over 45 minutes trying to put in my order for the New Dave's Picks...What a Freakin' Nightmare !..I had to read my C C Number to the Guy 4 God Damn 4 times !!!!...He Hardly spoke OR Understood a word of English.!..What Happened to the good 'ol days when some Hippie Chick or Stoned Dude would answer the phone, take your Order and you'd be on your Merry Way ????....Not anymore Folks....If you speak Asian Indian or some other Language from across the Globe, MAYBE you can get an Order in,...How FRUSTRATING !...I had to repeat My e-mail, phone number, Shipping address, Billing address, zip code etc. over 6 times !..I'm beginning to think this isn't worth it anymore....I've been a ''Dead Head'' since 1967 and this is just TOO FREAKIN' MUCH !...WHY CAN'T I ORDER IN PLAIN ENGLISH !!!!!!!
why not buy a computer
or a smart phone to order. it's faster. also, better to have a guy that makes sure he has the correct info than a fast stoner

I'm no copyright law expert by any means, but I was under the assumption that the public domain songs are listed as "Traditional, arranged by..."? The 1st Dave's Picks bonus disc has Nobody's Fault But Mine...and that one is listed as such.
who's singing Mr Charlie on this one?
PigPen not there? nevermind, see now it's the december show that does have Pig.
A nightmare....
Is this guy joking? You went to the trouble of posting this rant on the actual website thats offering the pre order... Why not try actually going through the ordering process on here? if it crashes, sure, call em up and try that route. Yeesh
What's the table minimum...
...to play out the release hand this year?
Just drafted my 2018 third and fourth quarter budget for "things"....
"This is going to be a really good year. We've got a thing and then we've got a Dave's Pick 27 and 28; we've got another thing aaaaaand this other thing."
SOLD OUT !
have just checked, and order page says sold out, WOW, only on sale for half an hour,
Well that went quick.
Oh no! All gone? Here's hoping a kind soul will bring a miracle & help out with filling a flash once physical delivery has happened. Cheers all.
Great site!
@davidadavisThanks for hipping me to this fantastic website. Bless you for passing it on.
Let's not forget
...this coming Saturday is RSD: 2-27-69 Fillmore West full complete show on vinyl
Sold out
Appeared to be available as I logged in, but now says unavailable. Subscribed, so am all set.
Too early for Vol. 27 predictions?
They may have to up the number for 2019 and make it an even 20,000. Glad to see the returns aren't quite yet diminishing.
For those who missed out, I'm sure plenty of people have bought multiple subscriptions and the ala carte maximum number, so these will be popping up on Ebay, which I'm sure already have.
Now onto watching the Seaside Chat....which I see now is actually from the basement.
Bummer
I was on computer, waiting for it to come up, got e-mail at 1:10 pm ,logged in, was available, by the time I got order put in, it was sold out. And they had 18,500 copies to sell this year, last year, they had 16,500 copies to sell, and I was able to get one 2 hours after notice came in. What cha gonna do,Jim
3 things
Interesting video. It sounds like Dave is working on 3 things, in addition to Dave's Picks. Wow! 3 things! I'm going to guess that a mono version of Anthem of the Sun with a white cover on 200 gram vinyl is one of them. My second guess for Dave's thing is a Europe '90 box set. And #3, the thing they've never done anything like it before? It has to be a box of every note played on The Quick and The Dead tour. That is, all the Dead and all the QMS. Oh man....I can't wait!
Basement chat....
....I want that Orpheum poster Dave. How much?
sounds waaay better than the
sounds waaay better than the archive copy. but damn they did kind of made it out to be we'd be getting two complete shows. well, anyways.....I am a real a-mer-ic-an~~~ fight for the rights of ever-y man~~~~...
what's missing
12-14-71 what's missing here is... after Loser in the first set is Jack Straw, not there, after Next Time you See Me should be a Tennessee Jed, not there, then after Run Run Rudolph should be Black Peter, Playin in the Band and Casey Jones which ends the first set, not there. The second set is all chopped up. We don't get the opening Ramble on Rose or the Mexicali, starts off second set with Big Boss Man, then the entire jam from the second set is missing, Cryptical, Drums, TOO>me and my unkle jam>TOO, Wharf Rat and Sugar Magnolia, all missing. It does have the ending of the second set You Win Again,NFA>GDTRFB>NFA all included. So What's on that bonus disc? Not listed here. let's hope we get the Jack Straw and Tennessee Jed and the big jam from the second set. Gonna take some work to get this disc back in order. Russian Troll? Fake News? Really? Ever try calling in an order? It really is that difficult so not fake news and as far as trolls, Russian or otherwise, right.
Fastest sell out to date? Could be a record. Glad I got a copy of this one.
subscribe, those who missed out
a la carte is dead. it is no more. it has ceased to be.
you gotta buy 'em all or risk getting skunked.
I used to do a la carte, but cannot do it anymore.
Beaten down non-Asian-Indian-or-some-other guy
You were obviously targeted for special call center treatment, all in good hell fun. Tell it to the fake President, he'll be all ears. I assume you'll be calling him too, speak English-only when you get his very limited attention.
Primary a la carte availabity is pretty sketchy now, wow, but it's alive via secondary sources. This release might struggle to hold $40 on eBay at times in months ahead.
Be patient.
No cover songs on bonus disc
Interesting tidbit of info in the video.
It can be surmised that the bonus disc will mostly consist of...
Tennessee Jed
Black Peter
Playin'
Casey Jones
Ramble On rose
Mexicali
Cryptical
Drums
Other One
MAMU Jam
Other One
Wharf Rat
Sugar Magnolia
In the video, Dave says one song is excluded, but the big jam is complete and uninterupted, so it would appears that either Tennessee jed, Black Peter or Casey Jones will be left off. Either no "cocaine", "shackles, ball and chain" or "Sweet Susan" for you....until whenever they decide to officially release the other Ann Arbor show. I can't imagine that one NOT being released at some point, whether as a Dave's Pick or other project. I would consider 12/15/71 an essential show from that year.
If you haven't heard it, check it out...

edit - I agree with the following comment, in regards to the Dave's Picks series. The cost of being a consumer of the later era's is considerally higher than the bulk of these smaller one full show releases.
Another 70's show
The 70's are great, but it would be nice to see something from another era . . . just for a change.
A Surprise??
I'm not trying to start a rumor here, but why break up the 2 sets so dramatically? I know Dave likes to keep the jam segment intact, but wasn't there an easier way? Perhaps we will get a surprise on disc 2? Maybe......Dark Star from Ann Arbor? Here's hoping.
Bolo.. Doors versus the Who
Bolo we are still going through stage 1 of getting shut out, I think the Doors versus the who is closer to stage 10!! It did crack me up to see your question!! bob t
