Guys-

DP #21 does not disappoint. The band was really "on" this date in question. Very good to excellent recording and excellent presentation.

Do any of you dislike a Dick's or Dave's Pick? If so, why?

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.  :-)

Yes, DP22 is another gem.  '71 is probably my favorite year and there is not a lot of material available from that year so this is a really cool release.  Sound quality is very good and the performances are representative of '71/'72 era Dead.  Excellent!
