David Lemieux’s Dave’s Picks series has always brought the choice cuts of the Grateful Dead catalog to the avid fan and music collector’s of live music. And with the first drop of 2017, Volume 21 brings us April 2nd, 1973 at Boston Garden. While the band was finishing off a major tour, this was a show that delivered from the very first note, to the very last one.
“We all expect Big Things from the Big Songs, but all the smaller songs in this show are stunningly played. That extra something in every song that makes a great show GREAT? It’s here in every song. And as for the bigger songs, they certainly deliver as well.”
Mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman and featuring illustrations by 2017 Dave’s Picks Artist-In-Residence Dave Van Patten, Dave’s Picks Volume 21 is limited to 16,500 individually numbered copies. In other words, if you plan on ordering this particular show, get on it now.
Volume 21 is available for pre-order and will be released on February 1st, 2017. Grab a copy while you can www.dead.net.
