    DAVE'S PICKS 2019 SUBSCRIPTION

    Well, starting out our 9th year of the Dave's Picks series, you might be asking, "how can they outdo the previous 28 Dave's Picks?" We sure are aiming to do so! As you'd expect, we receive many suggestions and requests for releases, and one of the top vote-getters on a consistent basis is 2/26/77, and we're thrilled to start the year with such an exceptional, sought-after show. Just as we started 2018 with an upper-echelon A+ Dead show (11/6/77 Binghamton, NY), that's exactly how we're beginning 2019. And just like the three spectacular shows that followed in 2018 (11/17/71 Albuquerque, NM; 9/2/83 Boise, ID; and 6/17/76 Passaic, NJ), we're planning on an equally strong 2019, filled with surprises and excellent playing throughout. Exciting times ahead! Thanks to everyone who's supported the series both from its inception in 2012, to all of the more recent subscribers. We REALLY appreciate the faith you have in us to consistently deliver great Dead shows to your door four times per year with the Dave's Picks series. We work hard on all aspects of our releases to make sure you'll be as thrilled with the finished, delivered CD as we are. Dave's Picks Vol. 29 will likely go down as one of the most well-received Picks in the series, and the show we're considering for Vol. 30 (plus the Bonus Disc!) will be another smashingly wonderful release. As all of the subscription hoopla indicates, there are plenty of benefits to subscribing, not least of which is ensuring you'll definitely receive all four releases in 2019. It's going to be a great year! Thanks again for coming along for the ride; great times ahead!

    You just can't get enough! And neither can we. The Dave's Picks Series is summer love, spring, fall, and winter. So in 2019 we're turning up the Dave's Picks production run to 20,000 of each of the four releases. We've said it before and we'll say it again - while this means there will be more to go around, the best advice we have to give is... subscribe. When these releases go up for sale a la carte, they sell out within hours. Hours. No hyperbole here. The only way to avoid disappointment and be guaranteed all four Dave's Picks in 2019 is to subscribe.

    In addition to the four CD releases in 2019, totaling 12 CDs, you’ll also get the subscription-exclusive bonus disc, which has proven to be one of the most highly sought after collectables we’ve ever released and free domestic shipping. Subscriber bonus discs will not be released outside of this offer. Early bird subscribers can nab a sub at $99.98 (regular pricing will be $115.92). EARLY BIRD SUBS WILL END ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2018 AT 11:59PM.

    Conspiracy?

    There is no 30 Days of Dead "thread." I just walked over there, and there's just a couple dudes sitting around smoking and listening to 2/20/71. I posted the first comment just to see if there were any - there aren't. Don't rush over to read what I posted, it's nothing profound.

    Yes, comments have been shut off on the two hot boards here that kind of had a pulse... when I left the 30 Days and came back over here, I was forced to log in again, complete the captcha (I'm getting much smoother at those) and now I'm in. But now, I'm leaving, because nothing's really going on.

    Hopefully, they're still working on the system, unless they've decided our commentary isn't helping push product. And who could blame them, what with all the endless bitching about defective discs made in Mexico (hey, I agree, that's an issue) and especially that one jerkoff "my booklet was bent."

    Ugh. Not only is that kind of rhetoric a downer and a total bore, it should be saved for messages for Dr. Rhino and marye. Doesn't make for an engaging forum, and, those people may have crashed the whole airship.

    How else do you describe the lack of activity here. They took away 2/3 of the message boards we would normally be posting on (I can't post on DaP 28, which is brand new, nor PNW). The robot captcha and street light verifications, the anti-user friendly interface (almost impossible on cell phone).

    That awful sounding '83 show. Sales to plummet. Instead of 2 subscriptions this year, I'm buying 0, and I'll download off of YouTube, where Rhino inexplicably let's people upload Dave's Picks.

    I recently ordered the '79 RT off dead.net, and to my happy surprise it came with the bonus disc. If you missed out on the volume or the bonus disc, it might we worth the chance to grab it from this here website (though I'm sure no guarantees).

Holy $hit this is FINALLY coming! People will be/should be very happy about the initial offering in 2019...clamor has always been bright for this one.

Ninety-nine bucks....what a Steal Your Face.

And if you read the fine print, they are upping the subs to 20K....hopefully this will ALSO accommodate those who know it's their best chance and true duty to grab a sub while they last.

Awesome sauce.

Subscribed again as I have every year since inception. The best bargain for live Dead that you can get; bring on '77 and another show from the '80's and one from the '60's and this will be the best Dave's season yet!

I ready for this one, very nice recording, very nice period.

I assume everyone saw the 7" collection was announced.

Did anyone get asked to set up an account for "buying", had to enter all info for both 7" and DaP 2019. Didn't see anyway to enter. But I did not "order" from my "home?" page (the one with my icon on top right), my order page didn't have that on it.

Wilfred t - I can't find a track listing for Dave's Picks 29. What is the bonus material? You sound pretty stoked about it. For my part, I've been looking forward to this show for a very long time. Probably the only 1977 show that is still left to be released that I'm really stoked about. I tell you this is the best Slipknot! ever!

(From the seaside chat) Bonus material is Reel #5: Terrapin>Dew, Sugar Mags. -e- JBG

This material has previously only been available in AUD form. Reels 1-4 are missing from the vault, but here's hoping they will roll their way back safely home...

P.S. edit I'm with you that 2-26 is a tentpole show. I am also fond of the trio of shows from October 10-28 through 10-30. SMU 10-15 is also a wonderful show, but the sound from what's always been available via tapes and archives has been lacking. I really like Oct. 77. 10-2 anyone?

P.S. edit 2: I wonder when they're going to do something else from June of '85. I think all we've gotten from then so far has been River Bend that's on 30 Trips.

Might as well add my excitement to the mix...There’s a few shows that I’ve been hoping for since- well, who knows how long. And Swing is one of those that many have wondered if, or when it will finally get the release spotlight. Just to finally hear that Slipknot after Norman’s magical touch. That 2/27 bonus material is a revelation- for some reason I mistakenly believed Betty didn’t record that show. If Binghamton last year caused some increased subscription interest, which seems likely since another 77 gem kicks off this year, I wonder when Dekalb will make it’s way into the hands of Norman. In terms of unreleased ‘77, those are the 1-2 for me- Swing and Dekalb. And March at Winterland is another on my ‘77 wish list. I also wonder what are the other top shows in terms of requests Dave gets- 6/10/73-10/25/73. And because why not, how about a late 80’s Dave’s Pick or a Hornsby show. Sometimes it doesn’t feel like Hornsby gets the attention he deserves- he’s an outstanding presence on stage. And there’s some great ‘91 shows that are more than worthy of release. 6/25/91-8/16/91-9/26/91 and on. Would be a nice Dave’s Picks curveball if number 31 is an 89 show, or well, end of the rant.

That was probably the easiest experience I had with ordering something on this site - well done to everyone involved.

What a way to open the new year - can't wait to get my hands on this show! I believe 2019 is the year we'll get 12/1/79 and maybe one of the 1981 MSG shows as well (wishful thinking). Hell, I don't really care what we get - clearly we're in good hands.

Three straight releases with Help-Slip-Frank! Thank you, Mr. Lemieux. At the beginning of the year I mentally noted the lack of that combo in the Dave's Picks series and he has righted the ship.

I haven't heard this show and have only looked at the setlist over the years after all the calls for it on these boards (sorry, I just don't do the archive much). Pretty stoked about hearing this one in pristine sonic glory. Bring it on and folks who don't subscribe, I don't know what to tell them if they miss out on a set this year.

RE: #28, I was a 'meh' to that release as summer 76 doesn't grab me, but last week listened to DaP 18 and came away feeling good about it. Only my second listen as it didn't do it for me when it came out. I had a suspicion it was going to be a 76 show just based upon law of averages (Dave was due to pick one from that year by my reasoning), and I was again telling myself, "If he is going to release a 76, please include a H-S-F." My telepathic powers worked. :)

Keithfan, also interesting I noticed you can put five in cart now. I know a la carte was limited to two, I thought the subscription was two, too. Anyway, we’ve said it here once/say it again: y’all should subscribe if you want in. Don’t complain after getting shut out from the leftovers- this is clearly a subscription series.

Est-Eyes, re:28, I might be more pleased about 28 than 29! But I love that 76 sound. I like how Dave mentioned that Swing - first show of 77 - marks a bridge between 76 and that classic 77 sound. Can never have enough of h/s/f. Once more!

(And I’ll definitely take this dp29 upgrade.)

"The Haunting of Hill House" is a winner. Being a big fan of the book and original film, I came to the Netflix series wielding some solid skepticism. Happy to say, it proved me wrong. Smart story telling and creepy as hell. Top notch across the board.

I have to say 2/26/77 is a monster and I am excited for this one. But the filler from 2/27 is simply fantastic. 2/27 has long been a favorite of mine and Bravo Dave for additional nag the few songs as filler, sad to hear that only 1 real is in the vault but to get the Morning Dew from that show is unbelievable. I thought there was only one recording of that show in the archive from the audience recording but to find a few songs and from Betty is s real treat. Amazing start to the series!

If you like those horror shows, check out Apostle. That one was great, but I love me some cult and/or cannibal horror. Cannibal Holocaust also gets a top vote on that front and maybe Green Inferno, but you wont find that one on Netflix. The new Halloween was awesome, but Hereditary and The Witch are my favorites as of late.

Dave's showed up yesterday, at least I got to listen to the whole during last nights longest World Series Game ever. That was a doozy.

Cool to see they upped it to 20k units. Another '77 choice is cool, but doesn't overly excite me as there are still way too many unrepresented years in this series ('65, '66, '67, '68, '79, '82, '84, '85, '86, '87, '88, '89, '90, '91, '92, '93, '94, 95...pretty much most of their career).

The fact that there hasn't even been a Vince or Vince/Bruce release in this series yet, going into it's 9th year seems odd.

2/16/77 is a good one to release for historic purposes. 1st Estimated and Terrapin. A good, but obvious choice.

I have just come back from one of my jaunts to London, this time to see Duane Eddy. One of the great things about London is that they still have actual record shops where you can buy cds, vinyl, dvds and blu ray discs. I came back with bulging bag, as ever, and one thing I bought was the blu ray disc of Dario Argento's "Phenomena". It looks glorious- much better than the dvd. But the best of his films, that I have seen, and one of the best horror films of all time, is "Suspiria". The colours are incredible, and the combination of this, with the soundtrack by Italian prog rock group Goblin put the film in a league of its own. They hadn't got the blu ray of that one in stock-but I'll definitely be on the look out next time I go down the smoke. Which is next week-to see King Crimson and Hawkwind. Life is good.

Incidentally, I notice there is a remake of "Suspiria" that's just been released. I am not so interested in that. A bit like a modern rock band re-recording "Strawberry Fields Forever",
