Today, the long-awaited Dave’s Picks Volume 47 became available for pre-order. The exclusive archival release, curated by David Lemieux, features the complete unreleased show from Kiel Auditorium in St. Louis, Mo., circa Dec. 9, 1979, showcasing the band’s early Brent Mydland-era.

As 1979 drew to a close, the Grateful Dead welcomed Mydland into their ranks, solidifying his place in the band’s illustrious performance history. With his enchanting keyboard skills, harmonic tenor, and songwriting prowess, Mydland’s artistry is vividly captured in this musical time capsule.

Dave’s Picks Volume 47 boasts an extensive lineup of 25 captivating songs, treating fans to soon-to-be classics from their Go to Heaven album, such as “Alabama Getaway,” “Don’t Ease Me In,” “Lost Sailor,” and the emotive Mydland-penned “Easy To Love You.” Familiar favorites like “Brown-Eyed Women,” “Shakedown Street,” and “Terrapin Station” further enrich the concert recording.

A highlight of this volume of Dave’s Picks is the second set, which features a sequence of eight songs leading into an improvised “Jam,” gracefully transitioning from the end of “Saint of Circumstance.” The show also closes on a high note with the Grateful Dead delivering a fiery encore with the powerful combination of “Bertha” > “Good Lovin’,” followed by what some may consider one of the finest renditions of “Don’t Ease Me In” ever performed by the band. Disc Three of Dave’s Picks Volume 47 also includes an additional gem from a different 1979 show, offering an extra treat for fans.

Dave’s Picks Volume 47 has a limited availability of only 25,000 numbered copies. Notably, the release was recorded by Dan Healy and expertly mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering.

For eager fans, pre-orders are now open exclusively on the official Grateful Dead website, Dead.net. With the anticipation building, it’s expected that these numbered copies will sell out quickly, leaving fans anxiously awaiting their chance to relive the magic of the Grateful Dead on that unforgettable night in St. Louis.
