    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).

    Hey Denni$...

    Dooood, I did the down-and-dirty math. In my case, $100 for annual Dave's subscription, $200 for the box. So, with tax and tip, roughly $1 per day per year. See how easily that can be rationalized? Another view is that $300 is a month's worth of groceries to stay alive. Or $300 is far less, in non-emergency veterinarian bill years, than it cost to care for my beloved 18-year-old cat. On the other hand, I didn't buy a stitch of clothing for the past year, yet I spent ~$500 on paddling gear for my packraft adventures.

    Oh, the ultimate keys to my financial madness: I am not married, nor do I have children. Just ~4,000 CDs and 1,000 books (after taking hundreds to the library).

    Dennis, just tape your credit card to your computer monitor to make it easier and learn not to worry......

    Dave keeps us guessing...

    I'll venture a theory. Dave says that No. 41 has been in contention since the first Dave's Pick. So, this selection was an easy one for him, logistically, as he's got bigger fish to fry -- like the 2022 box and other projects. Note he said that some projects planned for 2022 will be pushed back to 2023. Having put out two '80s shows in a row, then a '90, his "safe" move was well-known territory: spring '77. The real mystery is where does he go from there? He's plopping a '90 US Blues encore onto a release that may or may not be related. (Hard to imagine another '90 release so soon.)

    So the 2nd release of the year, with subscription bonus disc, seems a pivotal choice.

    I'm sure 5-26-77 will provide a solid rock-out for me, but it clearly triggers Mr. Analytical. Yet Dave keeps us guessing. So..... of course I re-subscribed. Like going to all three nights of a GD run so as not to miss the magical moments, in case Dave favors us with more '69 -- the likeliest candidate for an "early" GD show.

    Okay, just running my fat mouth. More coffee!

    ..... I even put the wallet away!

    Jesus Christ is there no respite from the endless drain of cash. What the 2022 subscription isn't enough of a cash suck? No we have to offer DaP 1 on vinyl!! Have you no mercy???

    :-)

    I must be an idiot, but I've read that damn Dave page 6 times and can not see where 5/26/77 is the pick? My copy of LL Rain on that show is good, official will be better!!!

    Update - ok found where 5/26 is mentioned. I'll be honest, almost always never listen to the Dave seaside talks. Sorry Dave, great picks, but seaside talks,,,, not my thing!

    On paper it doesn't really look as though it has any qualities not already explored in the other shows already released from May 1977. And explored more effectively, come to that. But I have never heard it, so I may be wrong about that. I'm sure it will sound beautiful, whatever. Good news for 1977 completists, but I still tend to feel I already have enough from this month and year. I don't play all the shows from May 1977 I already have in one 12 month period - which suggests to me I should walk on by for this one.

    Awesome!
    I never had this show on cassette or CD-R, so it’s not burned into my synapses.
    The copy I have on a HD is the Bertha Remaster, and I think that I’ve heard it fewer than 5 times.
    So, DaP 41 will basically be a new show for me, and it’s a Normanized Betty.

    Same low price, now seemingly with more discs!

    I think the subscription has stayed at $100 for many years, and now they're adding a fifth show and a CD to the final selection each year?! Pretty easy decision . . .

    For those who grumble about whether Rhino should be allowed the keys to The Vault, consider that Dave mentions that Mark Pinkus and Rhino have been easily convinced to "give away" an extra CD each of the past two years in order to get a fifth show released. That does not seem like an action a thoughtless, faceless corporation would do. And as I mention often--go look at the music Rhino puts out; it's all small-run collectors items. You won't convince me that Rhino isn't a pretty cool company, one that is run by music lovers.

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!
