I would like to know as well. The Dead has a way different enormous fanbase, and these limited edition Daves Picks become collectors items the second it's sold out.
The supply and demand approach is definitely part of that marketing and it works. Dave's Picks aren't available on any steaming or download platform at all. Of course you can easily find ways around that if you poke around.
At this point I would imagine these LTs have wayyyy lower buy in than they did in LT 1-30. How many casual fans are spending $20 plus on a CD preorder of a random show from 1995 in 2022 unless you're a diehard.
