Dave's Picks 2017 Bonus Disc

Dave's Picks Volume 22 is a live album by the rock band the Grateful Dead. It contains the complete concert recorded at the Felt Forum in New York City on December 7, 1971. It also includes the second set and the encore recorded at the same venue the previous night. It was produced as a limited edition of 16,500 copies, and released on May 1, 2017.^[1][2][3]

A bonus disc was included with shipments of the album to 2017 Dave's Picks subscribers. This disc contains most of the first set recorded at the December 6 concert.

The Grateful Dead performed at the Felt Forum on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, December 4, 5, 6, and 7, 1971. This was the band's only appearance at that venue, which is located below the main arena at Madison Square Garden. Tickets were priced at $3.50, $4.50, and $5.50. The opening act at these shows was the New Riders of the Purple Sage.

On AllMusic, Timothy Monger said, "The final show of a four-night stand in New York, 12/7/71 was still the early days of newcomer Keith Godchaux splitting keyboard duties with founder Pigpen McKernan, who is featured heavily here. Historically, this can be seen as a sort of run-up to the epic Europe '72 tour which would commence just a couple of months later..."^[4]
