Grateful Dead Daves Picks Volume 12 | Colgate 1977
By Scott Bernstein Oct 7, 2014 • 8:30 am PDT


The band put the newest Dave’s Picks up for pre-order via Dead.net and it immediately sold out. Dave’s Picks -Volume 12, which is due for a November 1st release, has been limited to 14,000 copies and many were already reserved through the Dave’s Picks subscriptions that were offered towards the end of last year. Jeffrey Norman has mastered the three discs worth of music to HDCD specs.
Original Grateful Dead archivist, the late Dick Latvala, was a huge fan of the Dead’s ’77 show at Colgate. Latvala’s notes on the show included, “this show must have destroyed everyone’s mind, with the unique material (‘Dupree’s Diamond Blues’ & ‘Aiko Aiko’) and great performance. One can easily tell that this was a special occasion by the way Lesh carries on at the beginning of the 2nd set.” The third disc of the new release contains 75+ minutes from the Grateful Dead’s November 2, 1977 performance at the Seneca College Field House in Toronto.
