Hey Now! Happy Independence Day!

I recently came into a little bit of cash & was hoping to extend my live Dead collection. I have never purchased a Dick's Pick, but was looking at some of them in the Dead.net Store. Here is my question to all you Dead Heads out there: If you all of a sudden had some money to spend, and did not have any already, which 5 Dick's Picks would you invest in for certain?

Thanks in advance,
Angel
Lawrence, KS

The best place to get them is here, much more reliable than this place.

How about this: Everyhing that is out there that has been released and is in stock. Yeah, sure. There would be a lot of repeats to gift away but so what? If they just made Fillmore 69 and the entire Didck's/Dave's Picks and Road Trips a part of the package it would be worth it. Oh yeah, all picks would have to be hand-checked three times for flaws.

This package would include everything: Discs, tapes, downloads, vinyl, dvds, -- the whole enchilada. Sort of like cleaning up the shelves. Think about it. I think this would sell out and make room for the latest and greatest,

the cd is totally blank, both sides. just checked. the cardboard sleeve is white with the 8 songs listed on one side and a pic of phil on the other...

btw, happy birthday phil!
