I happen to own every single Deadbase, except for the first one. As I scan the various editions, I find interesting gems to discuss. Today let's discuss Deadbase IX and their poll for fan's choice for Dick's Picks 3. We all know that Dick's Pick's 3 was the super fine unbelievable mind blowing one in a lifetime Pembroke Pines May 22, 1977, but did you know in the days leading to the pick, not one Deadbase deadhead (or super uber insider fan) picked this show. It's because 22 years ago the band could still reach into the vault and find a show under the radar (especially if it was in the South where information did not flow on the NYC <-> Left Coast pipeline.
But this got be to thinking even more. Looking at these suggestions, I wondered "How Much has the Dead listened to their fans" And the answer is quite a bit. We will consider Deadbase 9's top-31 and the Grateful Dead Clubhouse Top-31.
These two 31 lists below are a good starting point if you like to see what might be coming down the pipeline, especially with the addition of 80 new shows. My Next piece will discuss what Dave and Rhino might do over the next 22 years to come, ironically the same time frame I am studying here
Exactly 22 Years Ago, Dick's Picks v 3 Suggestions in Deadbase IX 1995 based on 4+ picks which equals to 31 magic suggestions. Let's see what happened to the 31 top suggestions; 19 shows have been released. In addition, even though Betty Boards went not known as such in 1995, four shows released were the 31 listed are Betty's, the Field Trip in 1972, Cornell (patience I know), Closing of Winterland, Buffalo (soon). A few had a song or two released as well, and 2-13-71 I counted as yes since Dick's Picks 4 has those 3 songs that last about 2 years. I believe the main reason that the Betty Board count is so low, is that in 95 people just didn't know, just like they didn't know about 5-22-77.

No Dave's Picks from this list :)
Another list of 31 worth considering is the famous Grateful Dead Clubhouse top-31 jam segments circa 2009 Note deaddisc.com is the place to go to check exactly which shows have been released. Wikipedia is also extremely helpful for something like a Road Trips which might have songs for 5 or more shows .
While the Clubhouse Top-31 didn't predict future releases, it is a back check or proxy for how much of the grate stuff is being or has been officially released unlike the Deadbase IX survey which is a future wishlist from those invested enough to get incvolved with John and Mike and Stu and the fabulous Deadbase crew. The band has released 18 of these 31. So their are some gems on this list
