Dave's Picks represents the contemporary official archive project. Dave Lemieux, the band's archivist, selects individual complete performances from the vault and releases them as limited-edition numbered CDs. Each volume focuses on a single show, meticulously remastered and packaged.

Vol. 13 represents one of the ongoing releases in the series. Collectors pursue the entire series, and each volume becomes numbered as part of the limited run. The project's specificity, one show, one performance, one night, appeals to fans who want a detailed understanding of how that night sounded.

Dave's Picks volumes typically sell out upon release, making them valuable in the secondary market.
