    ANNOUNCING DAVE’S PICKS 2025 SUBSCRIPTIONS AND DAVE’S PICKS VOLUME 53

    "As we enter our 14th year of the Dave's Picks series, heading into Volumes 53-56 in 2025, most days we feel we're just getting started. Every volume of the series is still just as exciting for us as the first few releases in the series back in 2012, and we hope you continue to get as much joy out of listening to them as we get from producing them. One of the greatest thrills we get from working on them is the flexibility to go where the music takes us in making the selections. For 2025, Volume 53 has been selected and is in the can, and we've just entered production on Volume 54 (and the subscribers' Bonus Disc!), but beyond that, it's a blank slate, and we're spending countless hours listening to determine what's to come for Volumes 55 and 56 in the second half of 2025. After the great variety we saw in 2024 (1985 x 2, 1977, 1971, and 1983), we focused on great variety again in 2025. Come along for the ride! If you've never subscribed, this would be a great year to start, as we head into the Grateful Dead's 60th year. There's plenty of room on the bus for everyone!"

    For some of you, it’s a done deal. For those of you still on the fence or new around these parts, we’ll lay it all out right here, right now. Dave’s Picks subscribers score all four numbered, limited-edition releases (totaling a minimum of 13 CDs) featuring previously unreleased complete live Grateful Dead shows. You’ll also get the subscription exclusive bonus disc, which remains one of the most highly sought-after collectibles we release, and free U.S. shipping. Subscriber bonus discs are not released outside of this offer. As always, early bird subscribers can nab a sub at $99.98 (regular pricing will be $119.92).

    Dave's Picks 2025 will once again be capped at 25,000 copies of each release. Your best bet is to subscribe, sit back, and relax as each show is delivered to your door quarterly.

    Even got an order confirmation from the GD Store.

    The shipping method of the FOTD-box to Germany was also well selected. Fast delivery and with a tracking number provided!

    Seems 2025 will be a good year and maybe brings us a box Europe 1981.

    Cheers G.

    I've already got votin' on my mind, obviously. How about suggesting two dates each year on the Subscription order form to vote on? The rest of the time, we will defer to our buddy Dave, of course. Voting for either of the vault "release candidates" would be a win/won regardless of the outcome.

    On a related note, I'd also love to see Roadtrips style releases for Jerry. Since setlists are often redundant, with a few exceptions though, how about one for each year/era. I recall Grisman once said he has even more unreleased studio/home material, yet theres nothing from the So What sessions on the latest release. But those gems still exist thankfully.

    My guess is this was among the recently returned master tapes. The Setlist Program had a partial setlist for this show. Someone already posted the full list in the comment section on that sight. I might assume that everything prior to the last 4 songs of set 1 were unknown until the return of these tapes.

    I couldn't find this as a lost Betty from the list (search what's become of the betty's). Dead list has only aud recordings for downloads. Any idea where this has been hiding

I am certain it will be easy to find the sop to Cerberus to ensure you walk as one promoted to Grateful Dead.

Raise a glass to Phil, salute!

Miss Him! Miss Him!! Miss Him!!!

Phil’s birthday.

And with the new Klipsch speakers and subwoofer I got a while back my house is thumping to Phil.

4/27/85 Just Like Tom Thumbs Blues, killer version Lesh changes some of the lyrics, 4/22/86 B.C.T. The Dead open the show with Box of Rain very cool.

I have every Dave's Pick. Like everyone, I don't think all the shows are breath taking. 1976 annoys me because of the screaming banshee Donna Jean. I doubt this one will ever leave the cellophane wrapping, but you never know. 9/11/83 on the other hand...hell yeah! As always...go Brent!

Just heard the news. Man, that is too bad. A hell of run for Phil, 84.
Agree, one of the best bass players ever. A slawart. So funny and underrated.
RIP Phil, you will be missed.
