    Welcome to The Eleven(th) year of the Dave's Picks series! The momentum of the series keeps moving forward, and we can truly say there is no end in sight to the series. As we've said before, as long as you keep digging and supporting the series, we'll keep putting them out. Which is to say a huge thank you for keeping the series going! We do what we do because of you, and you keep inspiring us to do our best. And above all, you make it fun! As odd and challenging a year 2021 was, we were able to release five (!) incredible Grateful Dead shows in 2021 through the Dave's Picks series, starting with the magnificent Vol. 37 from 4/15/78, to Nassau on 9/8/73, the Spectrum on 4/26/83, and most recently 7/18/90 AND 7/19/90. Plus a healthy amount of bonus material where it would fit and where appropriate. Oh, and the subscribers' Bonus Disc from 9/7/73 that came with Vol. 38. As great as the four from 2021 were, we're already feeling 2022 will outdo it, and we've only selected Vol. 41 and Vol. 42 so far, as well as a lot of progress toward Vol. 43. But that's all for another time. For now, please know how much your enthusiasm means to us. We get as excited as you do every time a Dave's Picks is released. So thanks for coming along for the ride, and sharing the journey with us. We have a wonderful year of Grateful Dead archival releases ahead, and we can't wait to share it all with you.

    Is there anything better than the Dead automatically showing up at your door four times a year? We think not. We're holding steady with a numbered, limited-edition of 25,000 for each of the four Dave's Picks 2022 releases. But make no mistake, the best bet is to subscribe, sit back, and relax because you never know how fast each title will go when we put them up for sale, and there have been plenty of times where we're done in a day.

    If you're new here, in addition to the four releases in 2022, totaling 12 CDs, you’ll also get the subscription exclusive bonus disc, which remains one of the most highly sought-after collectables we release, and free domestic shipping. Subscriber bonus discs are not released outside of this offer. Early bird subscribers can nab a sub at $99.98 (regular pricing will be $115.92).

    I agree DaveRock, sometimes the audience recording is an integral part of the recording, such as the inebriated young lady you point out greeting Jagger on “Get Yer Ya-Yas Out!” My all time favourite is the lone voice at the Manchester Free Trade Hall calling Dylan “Judas”. His reaction, turning to The Band, and imploring them to “Play Fucking Loud!” was priceless!

    “Judas!” cried ex-Brit Keith Butler, now living in Toronto.
    "I don't believe you," the singer spat back. "You're a liar!"

    Some live recordings are enhanced by hearing the audience in ther background, and some aren't. I'm not as keen when you can hear the audience and the band is in the background, though. Some live recordings I have seem very much like recordings of an event, of which the audience is an integral part, and to take them out of the mix is to diminish the whole.
    On some live recordings - mainly films, it has to be said - the crowd are actually more interesting than the bands - Woodstock (minus Jimi Hendrix) and Altamont, terrible though it looks, being prime examples.

    To be actually at a concert, as opposed to sitting at home listening to a recording of one, there were so many variable factors, apart from the music, that affected how I felt about the show. The music being only one of them. But that's another issue.

    I am gonna respectfully disagree on both counts. Regarding 60's/70's only, factually, I do not think that is accurate. No one ever said 60s/70s only. Did they? Dick's Picks had 80s/90s shows. Road Trips had 80s/90s shows. The Box Sets, mini-boxes, and one-offs have had 80s/90s shows. The only release series that were exclusively 60s/70s were the Vault series, and there were only 3 of them. And that is counterbalanced by the 4 View from the Vaults, which were exclusively 80s/90s. Where did you get the idea that Dave was gonna exclusively pick 70s/60s shows?

    As others have said, half the band's output is 1980 onward. Plus, some of those years don't have many shows ('75, '74, '76, '77) or have had a ton if shows released already ('72, '77). And the # of tapes is an issue some years ('70, '71, '60s). I mean, they only did 40 shows in 1974. We've had about 15 released as Daves/Dicks or on boxes or RTs. Plus the 5 shows from the Steal Your Face/GD Movie/Soundtrack. That is nearly half the shows from '74.

    Lastly, by my count, 7 of 41 have been 80s or beyond. 34/41 60s/70s. What, getting your way 83% of the time is not good enough?

    And I for one LOVE the audience bits. The Matrix effect makes it much more ALIVE in my view. And detracts virtually nothing.

    we went yesterday to see about adopting a cat. The cat is rather plump.

    The cat didn't say anything about knowing Fat Freddie, though.

    The Freak Brothers...wow.

    So. I'm watching the Cowboys getting thrashed by the Broncos, and this commercial comes on that made me do a double take. Apparently, our beloved fabulous furry freak brothers will be starring in an animated series on a channel called Tubi. I'm not really grasping this yet. Talk amongst yourselves.

Dave's Picks #1 on vinyl was announced end of last year with Ltd #s. I think it took a few weeks to sell out, but not shipping until June sometime. Finally get to have my missing Dave's Pick in physical format. Would love to supplement it with the CD version too (for the completionist in me)...

I think today may be last day to buy a subscription. Ever since missing out on DaP1, have subscribed every year since. The early bird special makes it a no brainer of a lovely Christmas present from my daughter every year...

Happy New Year!
