Grateful Dead has announced details of the next release in their Dave’s Picks bootleg series.

Dave’s Picks Vol. 54, coming out May 1, will feature the band’s March 26, 1973, concert at the Baltimore Civic Center, which is one of the longest concerts the band played that year. The 31-song show stands out for its second-set jam, which included such songs as “He’s Gone,” “Truckin’,” “Weather Report Suite Prelude,” “Jam,” “Wharf Rat,” “Me And Bobby McGee,” “Eyes Of The World” and “Morning Dew.” 

It will be followed by a Vol. 54 bonus disc, featuring a March 31, 1973, concert in Buffalo, New York.

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Grateful Dead and the 14th year of the Dave Pick’s series. Those who sign up for a subscription get four numbered, limited-edition releases throughout the year, along with the bonus disc.

The first release for 2025 will be an Oct. 27, 1976, concert at Riverfront Coliseum in Cincinnati.

Preorder for the subscription is open now at dead.net.
