Our friends the Rhinos have various and sundry new releases in the development process, but they're always interested in hearing what you'd like to see hit the virtual shelves of the Store. No promises, but you never know...

This topic is for requesting new box sets. There are also topics for individual shows and DVDs.

If you've already requested something in the previous Requests topic, you don't really need to request it again, but hey, if you just can't help yourself...

How To Put Out The Europe '72 Tour

On August 9th, 2007 msgsec74 said:

Talking with my friend about how this should be put out and the traditional "Box Set" would be too much. The first thing that comes to mind is making it available to download. I think a lot of folks are donwloading more music and jewel cases are becoming things of the past. Now to make these available to the folks that don't download, how about just a spool like the spools of blank CD's you buy. No need for any crazy box with all sorts of graphics. Just a spool of CD's with the infromantion printed right on them. Check Out My Orignal Music at myspace.com/salaversano

Box Set of Hampton Shows (sans 92)

With the spaceship on the cover....
At least 86-89 ( tons of gems like Box, Roadrunner (not a breakout per se but a damn good version; the great Terrapin from 3.24.87, The 88 breakouts and slamming 3/27/88 show.
Oh and those "Formally The Warlocks" shows. They were kinda decent.

Orpheum 76, Europe 72, and more

On August 11th, 2007 baklo said:

I'm also into box sets that cover entire runs at the same venue. I'd like to see a box with the 6 Orpheum 76 shows in their entirety: 7/12-7/14 and 7/16-7/18. It would be beyond incredible to have EVERYTHING available from Europe 72 released. Perhaps that could be released by week in boxes and/or available as individual releases.

It would definitely be cool to see an audio/video release of 8/27/72 (with both cds and dvds) too. I'll post more as I think of things... :-)

By Venue Please

Issuing Live boxed sets by venue makes a lot of sense. I personally would be interested in purchasing Alpine Valley and Soldier Field boxed sets, among others.

MSG BOX

How about a massive box set of 9/14/88 - 9/24/88. A total of 9 shows.

Fillmore West 1969

Non limited addition

I put my order in about a month before release just as the limit was reached.

I have the other Fillmore West 69 set and that is forever on my player, or mp3 player

I am sure the release could be fleshed out with other "Live Dead " show tracks

The Elvis-Jerry Sessions

On September 5th, 2007 Hal R said:

I would like to see the sessions that Donna and Ron Tutt arranged between Elvis and Jerry finally see the light of day. I hear that the guitar jams with Jerry and James Burton are just amazing. Rock on!

Or should I be requesting these from the Jerry site?

Fillmore West 1969 re-release

On September 8th, 2007 joe_kamal said:

Why not re-release Fillmore West 1969?

It's a proven seller and many could not react quick enough.

It's got to be a better move than taking back mp3 again@

Great Suggestions!

On September 13th, 2007 Estim8ed said:

I would agree with the complete venue boxed sets,(complete shows of course) what a great idea! Start with Hampton 1989! Boston 1991 New York 1990.

PS How abot winterland '73? It's ready just release it.
