    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.

    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.

    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!

    Great Phil moments, 4/27/85 & 4/22/86 I saw

    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 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 LESH
    To me he was the reason the Grateful Dead had a Mystical and Magical feeling at their concerts and their music. He was my favorite band member Saw him on his Birthday this year and shook his hand in 2006

    LOVE you Phil

    How fitting that he passed on the anniversary of Bill Graham's passing.

    Fare thee well, Phil. I saw him over 300 times, the last a year and a half ago at the Skull and Roses Festival in Ventura. That was a great show. Along with his band mates, he carved out a couple new genres of music. He also spent a lot of time mentoring and playing with young musicians. A sad day in Deadland.
