Grateful Dead Family Discography: Grateful Dead Dick's Picks (original) (raw)
Dick's Picks by release dateThis page lists the Dick's Picks series in order of their release date.Dick's Picks is a series of 36 multi-CD sets of live Grateful Dead music from the Grateful Dead vault. Generally each volume contains a complete Grateful Dead show (or shows), the majority of a Grateful Dead show (or shows), or a selection of music from a series of consecutive shows.Dick's Picks Vol. 1 was released in 1993. Band member vetoes delayed the selection and release of a second volume until 1995. Volume 3 followed nearly a year later. From 1997 onward 3 or 4 volumes were released each year. The final Dick's Pick was released in 2005. The releases were sourced from two track master tapes housed in the Grateful Dead vault. Modern mixing methods were not possible and glitches and omissions in the original tapes were carried over onto the released CDs. For this reason Dick's Picks were distributed by Grateful Dead Merchandising and not initially through normal retail outlets.Dick's Picks were named for and were initially organised by Dick Latvala, the custodian of the Grateful Dead tape vault until his death in 1999. From 2000 onwards the vault and the Dick's Picks series was overseen by David Lemieux but the original series name was retained until 2005.The Dick's Picks series was followed firstly by the Road Trips series (2007-2011) and then by the Dave's Picks series (2012-present).For a list of the Dick's Picks series ordered by recording (performance) date see the Dick's Picks by performance date page.
