The latest installment of the Grateful Dead’s Dave’s Picks will take from the band’s 1971 run at New York City’s Felt Forum, the MSG-adjacent auditorium now known as The Theater at Madison Square Garden. Dave’s Picks Vol. 22 features the Dead’s 12/7/71 performance, which was part of the run that marked the return of Pigpen to the band’s live show after he took months off due to health issues. Some highlights from the evening include a jam on “The Other One,” “Uncle John’s Band,” “Wharf Rat” and a Pigpen-led “Smokestack Lightening.” Dead.net is also including a bonus disc with Vol.22, which will include most of the 12/6/71 performance at the Felt Forum along with the 12/7 show. |
Yes to all Dave's Picks on the Plangent processing. I think both are going to shine. IMO |
I tell ya ... The Here Comes Sunshine>Jam>Me & Bobby McGee is off the hook. Great transfer on the new DaP21. @jafant First Performances of Row Jimmy, Loose Lucy, H.C.Sunshine, T.L.E.O., Eyes of the World, China Doll, Wave That Flag were at Maples Pavillion in Palo Alto (Stanford U.). 2-9-73. Now that would a great DaP release!!! Can't wait for 12-7-71 next :-) |
I’m not a fan at all of Dicks’ Picks 32 (Alpine Valley 8-7-82) The mix is just as bad as can be. Almost unlistenable. Save your $$ on DP32 folks CM just released a newer version that is far superior (SBD > Casstette Master > Dat 44.1k) He said he got it from either Rob Eaton or Gans *Healy’s masters following Betty’s departure are generally a crap shoot"
Also, I’m not into the Dick’s Picks that have multiple shows (highlights) in one single volume. I’m sure some do appreciate it, but it’s very annoying to me. I’m glad Dave does complete shows (so far)

WOW. Got the FLACs last night and DaP22 is killer!!! I've had Charlie's version for a while and it's awesome. This is a whole other beast. Pigpen shining and lighting it up here... and the bonus 12-6 is comical it's so good. In your face tightness & goodness!! I feel bad for Jerry's guitar strings because he is absolutely killing them on this release. Man this sounds good. Can only imagine how Betty is going to blow my mind next week with the Box Set approaching fast. :-) |
@garebear couldn't agree more (and great post BTW). I miss them too. Listened to that Smokestack 4 times in the gym yesterday morning with the Bose NC headphones. It is spot on! |
