    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).

    AND The Vinyl!

    Done and done! So glad to get the Dave's #1 Vinyl Mosque show as I missed Dave's Picks 1-12. What was I doing those years?!? I bought all my Dick's Picks at my local record store but when he went out of business I lost track of the series as I did not have a PC yet (yes, I'm an admitted technophobe). A friend has hooked me up with some of that but I can't wait! Got to order another CD cabinet and get all this organized. Better yet it's off to the thrift store for some more college kid decor to match what I have.
    Cheers!

    Edit: Still no ship notice for #40 yet for me in Colorado. What, me worry? Nope, I've got the subscription.

    5/28/77 Hartford was already officially released years ago as a stand alone release.

    Wissinoming Dead Head called this one.. and perhaps one or more other people somewhere on the Dave's Picks 40 thread. I certainly understand '77 fatigue, but it's a great show, a stunning recording and one that makes perfect sense to throw in the subscription opener slot.

    Great call.. I don't recall anyone nailing one of these releases out of the blue.

    Subscription - check. Onward.

    As an All the Years Combined guy, I’m grateful for each lovingly restored show, and happy for those that are excited.
    But personally, 77 not being a go to year, and having soooooo much 77 already, I’ll probably only dig it once or twice…
    But hey, ya cant win em all!
    Congrats to the 77 freaks!

    Nice to hit more of that May 77. I think this was the last unreleased show from that tour besides the rest of Pembroke Pines and the other Fox show. 40 hasn't even hit my mailbox yet. Supposedly Friday.

    Having been a subscriber since the last year of the Road Trips series, Dave has taken a lot of twists and turns through the band's career. I believe a good 60s show is long overdue. I'm sure there's still some nice recordings of "Bears Sonic Journals" lurking. Of course the seal has yet to be broken for the Hornsby and Welnick eras. The two at the top of that list for me are 4/1/91 and 4/26/91.

    Also still hoping for 7/29/88, an Alpine 89 box with all of the video and audio. I could lust shows for the next 12 or 12 years.

    Ordered. Best way to get these.

    The vinyl versions should whet some appetites.

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!
