Dave's Picks Volume 26 is a three-CD live album by the rock band the Grateful Dead. It contains the complete concert recorded on November 17, 1971, at the Albuquerque Civic Auditorium in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It also contains bonus tracks recorded on December 14, 1971, at Hill Auditorium in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It was produced as a limited edition of 18,000 copies, and was released on April 27, 2018.[1][2][3]

A bonus disc was included with shipments of the album to 2018 Dave's Picks subscribers. This disc contains most of the rest of the songs from the December 14 concert.[4][5]

Recording

The November 17, 1971 concert was the Dead's first show in New Mexico. Keyboardist Keith Godchaux had joined the band about a month before, while Ron "Pigpen" McKernan was convalescing from the effects of liver disease. Pigpen was able to rejoin the band before the December 14 concert.[1]

During this period, the opening act at many Grateful Dead concerts, including these two, was the New Riders of the Purple Sage.
