He has been working as the Grateful Dead's audiovisual archivist and CD/DVD producer since September 1999.

The Dave's Picks series is named after Lemieux.[3] He has also produced several CD releases by Jerry Garcia.
Lemieux hosts a daily radio show on The Grateful Dead Channel on SiriusXM Satellite Radio (Channel 23)/Dish Network (Channel 6023), Today in Grateful Dead History, in which he selects a segment of music from that day in the Grateful Dead's history and explains its historical context and other information relating to the selection.
