Dave's Picks vol. 26 and bonus disc

Forums:

"For Dave's Picks Vol. 26, we're heading back to the Fall of 1971, when Pigpen was home resting, and Keith was a month into his tenure with the Grateful Dead, for the complete show on 11/17/71 in Albuquerque. This was the Dead's first show in New Mexico, and they welcomed the welcoming New Mexican crowd with some of the best music they played in all of 1971. The 15-song first set is only outdone by the spectacular second set, featuring one of the most powerful and intense versions of "The Other One" you'll ever hear, as well as a "Not Fade Away" that rivals the one played two nights earlier on 11/15/71 in Austin. Add to this that CD 3 is rounded out with half of the 12/14/71 show in Ann Arbor (with Pigpen back on stage!), and the 2018 Dave's Picks Subscribers' Bonus Disc features the other half of 12/14/71, and you have a release featuring two of the best shows of the second half of 1971."

The Other One from 11/17 is a monster.  A few too many similarities between these shows, I could think of others from that fall that I would have chosen, but these should sound fantastic

i'd agree. maybe that's why they didn't throw in 12/15? way too many similarities......but the dark star>deal.

any solid rumors of box sets for 2018?

I know the product manager at Rhino how is in charge of the Dave's Picks releases. If we have any questions that we can't answer here, I will try to ask her.

Excellent. I cannot wait to hear these.
