Dave's Picks Volume 47 is a three-CD live album by the rock band the Grateful Dead. It contains the complete concert recorded on December 9, 1979, at Kiel Auditorium in St. Louis, Missouri. It was released on July 28, 2023, in a limited edition of 25,000 copies. [1] [2] [3]

Contents

The concert was recorded early in the tenure of Brent Mydland as the Grateful Dead's keyboard player. It includes several songs from the album Go to Heaven , which was released about four months after the St. Louis show.

Dave's Picks Volume 47 also includes bonus tracks comprising the last part of the second set and the encore from the band's December 4, 1979 concert at the Uptown Theatre in Chicago, Illinois. Several other songs from the second set of that performance were included as bonus tracks on Dave's Picks Volume 31 .

Critical reception

AllMusic said, "Dave's Picks, Vol. 47 finds the Grateful Dead closing out their epic late-'70s period and cementing the Brent Mydland era that would define much of their early-'80s sound. Having replaced outgoing pair Keith and Donna Godchaux in early 1979, Mydland quickly made his mark in the band not only as their keyboardist and backup singer but also as a songwriter with a funky soft-rock touch and smoky high-tenor voice.... It's yet another win from this seemingly bottomless series of excellent Dead bootlegs-made-official." [4]
