    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.

    It's a birthday gift you get 4 times per year

    If you are wondering whether or not to subscribe, I highly recommend you do.

    The convenience alone is worth 25% of the price.

    I saved the birthday coupon…

    I saved the birthday coupon all year for this day and it doesn't work?

    It says applied but doesn't actually do anything.

    EDIT. So I guess because they offer free shipping and using the Bday coupon is then "combining" discounts.
    This is what I get for not taking advantage with the April '78 box....

    ps. it's really not about the money...

    Nice, I’ll piece that show back together.

    Don’t believe I’ve ever heard 10-2-76, so looking forward to that.

    Early bird subscription with free shipping is cheaper than 3 ala carte’s.
    Plus the bonus disc!

    Two Tracks already released

    FYI Two tracks from 10/2/76 have already been released on the Cow Palace bonus disc. Let It Grow and Might as Well, I believe. It's OK, I'm all for releasing full shows even if they've been partially released.

    It's a no-brainer for me at this point. I'm not necessarily in love with every single pick, but I do love knowing I've got a given show in my collection when the day comes that I want to get out of my comfort zone to explore what is for me some untrodden ground.

    Any more of these discount codes for checkout around? I noticed the last year or so some people had them. Pumped for another year!

    Dave's Picks 1976 & 30 Days of Dead Daze

    I had a feeling the year '76 was due to come around again!, As I recall, this pick had a few songs released over the years during the 30 Days of Dead Daze November, "Might As Well" was from the selections last year or the year before.
    This seems to be an indicator of future picks, as I went back and found a few other shows that had songs released for 30 Dead Days only to become whole show releases later.
    Not every show has that luxury, as many 30 Dead Days songs are also from incomplete shows too I would imagine.
    Well, when my November money arrives I am game again, can't beat the early Bird Song price!

    That 10/1/76 Help->Slip-…

    That 10/1/76 Help->Slip->Franklins would have been a KILLER bonus for this. Also that Dancing ->Ship of Fools...
    This Slipknot is probably the best one you'll ever hear. But you know, we get the rest of 5/4/77 so that's not too bad either.

DAaaaa~YO!
When Dave announce Fifty-Four
Bet it be a Banana Box Show!

My prediction is in. A 1970 pick prior to Bear's bust on 7/15/70.
Although some Autumn '70 would be good too. I dunno, maybe September 1969?

Those would be very welcome additions to my collection. I sure hope they get released. As I said before, the 12/19 HCS is still one of my favs. The day before show is pretty good, too. As I recall, it had a strange warp or drop out near the end of WRS. If they could fix that it would be amazing. Those 8/72 BCT shows are also top notch. I'm guessing those that remain unreleased will be a box set at some point.

They, {vault keepers} should rerelease them first few early Dick's picks as full shows. Preferably on disc but maybe on Lp too I guess. I'm sure this has been posted about before but I haven't read about it in awhile so here it is!

And as I type this, I'm realizing the answer...

Does Monsieur TheBest reveal the second DaP before the early bird special closes? I feel like that used to happen...

Baby, I felt burned after I talked myself into believing that the 2024 subscription would include 9.20.1970 with bonus disc of 9.19 and filler of 10.30 from the revelatory seaside chats...

Physical media space is getting hot, the time has come to weigh these things...

I haven't bought any Daves Picks this year, as none of them caught my fancy. I'm hoping they don't release 9/19/70 and 9/20/70 as a Pick with bonus disc. Not intending to subscribe, I'd miss the bonus, and if I do, I'm likely to be paying for shows I don't want. And I can' t be bothered trying to sell them.

I hate to be disputatious now we are all getting along so well, but I'll be glad when that Trump logo - avatar - whatever you call it - is ditched. That in itself political.
