That's a lot of cuts.  About three too many, hopefully they aren't too bad.  But I do love 71.   

I'm guessing that the one we are getting is going to be sans cuts... plus lotsa room for filler unless lma is missing parts

Look out Big Boss Man, Pigpen's on the loose! We're shedding our lovelight on the not-to-be-overlooked Spring 1971 tour with DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 51, featuring the complete unreleased show from the SCRANTON CATHOLIC YOUTH CENTER, SCRANTON, PA 4/13/71 AND the 2nd set from the previous night at the Pittsburgh Civic Arena in Pittsburgh, PA on 4/12/71.

These gems find the original Grateful Dead quintet delivering some of their most inspired, energetic, and tightest performances. There's a dab of WORKINGMAN'S DEAD, a splash of AMERICAN BEAUTY, a great foreshadow into what would soon appear on SKULL & ROSES. And you'll need nearly all those fingers (or those toes) because - count 'em - there's eight classic covers ("Mama Tried," "Hard To Handle," and a rare "I Second That Emotion," to name a few) done as only the Dead could do them with Mr. McKernan and his magical harmonica.

Limited to 25,000 numbered copies, DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 51: SCRANTON CATHOLIC YOUTH CENTER, SCRANTON, PA 4/13/71 has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering.

P.S. We had a little extra room on Disc 2, so please enjoy the final five DP48 bonus tracks to complete 10/24/70, St. Louis, MO.

So those first two songs had to be a nod to playing at the Scranton Catholic Youth Center

After playing the Pittsburgh Civic the night before, it must have been a comedown to play at the S.C.Y.C.

My first birthday!  My Dad grew up in Scranton, I'll have to ask him about the Catholic Youth Center.  He most certainly was NOT in attendance that night lol...

Got my shipping notice this afternoon.

Arrived yesterday and I gave it a listen. Good Ol' Grateful Dead from start to end. A Dave's Picks subscription is money well spent. So cool to have a new one of these arrive every few months.

Have yet to listen but seems they could have diversified the song selection a bit more.
