On the heels of this is the loyalty and passion of the many Dead Heads who have made this record possible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He adds, &#8220;It&#8217;s an honor and privilege to work for this community, and our aim is to keep building on this record by delivering the quality of recordings Dead Heads have come to expect for many years ahead.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a good chance The Dead can extend that record. They\u2019ve already announced\u00a0<em>Dave\u2019s Pick Volume 50<\/em>, which will feature a concert recorded May 3, 1977, at the Palladium in New York City.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2024, ABC Audio.
