    Pigpen anthology or biography
    when the hell you good folks gonna release a comprehensive Pigpen collection?!! everybody else has had their bios written or had docs made about them, hell, even Parish got his own book! Pigpen truly deserves to have his story told. someone out there has writing skills and was there at the beginning. some of us older senior citizen deadheads have been waiting a long time for this, starting to feel like cubs fans do in October!! it's getting near the end of the 50th celebration; it's time to tell his story.

    30 trips around the sun USB question
    I have a Major important question about the USB Besides the fact that the USB is the same price as the box set, the fact we don't get the book is an issue, but I know you won't be doing anything about that.... which honestly kinda sucks Given the cost to produce the USB package vs the cd package (but still charging the same don't seem right, if your being honest with yourself....you should agree) Most importantly..... Will the 2nd sets of these shows run uninterrupted ? CDs fade out at end of disk two Fading back into disk three..... l hate that, can't sit back and chill to a second set that way! The reason I bought the USB is so there would be no breaks in the middle of the sets like the CDs will obviously be. This is probably a major issue for all people buying the USB (Even though there is only 1,000 of us) We don't get the booklet or the fancy box But that's not a problem, if they run uninterrupted I did not want the CDs for that reason (and storage too) as well as wanting 24/96 resolution (sweet) Has this question been brought up by anyone?and I hope you guys were smart enough to master the USB as uninterrupted shows, unlike the CDs (more work for you guys but you are charging enough for this package now dubbed "BOXILLA") I truly will be disappointed if there is breaks in the middle of a set This issue will be a major problem I'll want my money back if they are these interruptions, so....... Look forward to a response Thomas A. Violagis Jr.

    Dave's Not Here, Man !
    Well, the estimable Monsieur Lemieux says it best himself, elsewhere on dead.net: "6/10/73 at RFK Stadium in Washington, DC, where the Dead played two shows with the Allman Brothers Band and Wet Willy. These shows have long been considered for release, and it's only a matter of time before we see them mastered properly and released. They're really exceptional." So let's just get this show out there already--- PLEASE !

    Blu Ray Requests
    I know there's got to be plenty of footage of stage shows, T.V. appearances and whatnot that aren't available to purchase on video. For example, the recent Bob Weir doc (The Other One) showed a clip of them playing Shakedown Street on some show (I think), probably around '78 or so, and it was a great performance. When considering introducing a friend to the Grateful Dead via live performance on video, I don't feel I have a lot to work with. Performances showcased on the Woodstock dvds, Festival Express, etc have very limited material. I've got the Grateful Dead Movie, Closing of Winterland, Trucking' Up To Buffalo, Dead Ahead and a few of the View from the Vault installments, but I know there must be a ton more from the '70s that haven't been officially released. If there aren't a lot of whole shows to put out, even a career spanning compilation of live performances would be nice. Just please don't make it a 20 disc/$400.00 set. Thanks for your consideration!

    A CD/DVD/Blu-ray Box Set of the July 17, 18, & 19 shows. That would be too awesome.

    Probably a silly question. Are the July 4.5.6 shows going to be released on cd/DVD/blue ray ?

Can we discuss some sort of ‘81 Europe box set or releases? Some real gems in there and ‘81 is soooooo underrated!

How about a 1974 Wall of sound box set.
Or an Alaska 1980 box.

A couple days ago on Sirius TIGDH David Lemieux played some tunes from the 7-1-1973 Universal Amphitheater show. I was fortunate to see 2 of 3 of this 3-night run 6-29, 6-30, 7-1-1973 and was wondering if it could possibly be considered for a future small box release. The venue was brand new and still a virgin open-air outdoor amphitheater was since converted to an indoor venue. The GD was THE very first act to play there that weekend and covered a lot of the newer & as-yet unreleased material. Frank Sinatra was the "Official" first artist doing a week of shows a few days later but the Dead had already christened it in a spectacular way.
This was a short notice ticket sale event that as I recall was only listed locally 2 or 3 weeks before. I went to the box office on day of Saturday show and scored 2 front row seats on piano side of the stage with a great view of Garcia & Weir and some great interplay.
Should definitely be given a listen.

End 2023 with Watkins Glen release.

2024 box set: 1974

2025 box set: MASSIVE 1985, and give us working class folk enough notice to pull the money together for it, thanks in advance.

As always a crispy Summer 82' box set someday.

The end of the Summer Tour in '91 was hot, hot, hot! So how about a box with the DVD/Blu-Ray of the 6/22/91 Chicago show, boxed up with the following three shows--6/24 & 6/25/91 (Sandstone--both shows have been played on SiriusXM) and 6/28/91 (Mile High--which was on a GD Hour)?

The three shows at the Richfield Coliseum (9/4-6/91) to kick off the Fall Tour were pretty dang hot as well . . .

Thanks for your consideration!

Especially for the later years, but you could even be more creative for lesser tapped years like 68 or 86.

it seems to work for the CDs why not try it with vinyl? The pressing plants backlog has gotten way better why not offer 4 box sets a year (just an idea could be more/less) This would be way cooler than just something else for Record store day. Made to order type deal...this way the fans get what we want and no worries about investing in 10000 box sets that may not sell out. Id be all about it...anyone else?

With next year being the 50th anniversary of 1974 why not release the 2005 Grateful Dead Movie 5 cd Soundtrack as a vinyl box set? I’d also love to see the Ladies and Gentleman the Grateful Dead 4 cd box set come out on vinyl. Both would be big vinyl box sets but I’d dish out the cash for it. Both come from 16 track recordings and would sound excellent on vinyl and look great next to my other GD box sets

Is this ever going to be released on vinyl? Further, is there an optimal place to check for upcoming vinyl releases? Much thanks!

June/July 1985.

Dave was quite enthusiastic about summer 85 in his office chat, yet picked Frost for DaP49.
So hopefully he’s saving the summer shows for a Box.
6-27,28,30
7-1,2,13,14
Maybe a few more since some of them will fit on 2 CD’s.

I would love to see the 1980 Warfield Theartre and Radio City Music Hall Acoustic & Electric shows as a box set. That would be amazing!

I think the Tower Theater shows from Upper Darby, PA in June of 1976 would make a killer box set! Whether it’s a box set or a Dave’s picks or whatever, I think they deserve an official GD release! Thanks!

Hey rockers!!!!

Next box? Early 1969. From the OSF reels. Will include Vegas from March and the Avalon run from early April. Unless they want to hold Vegas for single release and include the Ark shows instead. Or maybe the February Philly shows? Heck, make it a mega mega box!!!!!

I have no definite talent or trade, and how I stay alive is largely a matter of magic......

Doc
You must learn to be still in the midst of activity and to be vibrantly alive in repose......

That's it exactly Doc. Just whats needed for a 69 box, after the FW supernova, shows you note, Avalon, Ark, et al first half of the year represent the mature, fully flowered primal phase. Fortunate to have some as downloads, audio issues would resolve with a most welcome update by Norman and crew. Time to revisit FW early June series, been a while.

Gents! I think an interesting path for boxsets would be "Holiday Shows"...boxset of NYE shows across years...boxset of July 4th shows across years...

I'd love to see a box of all the acoustic shows from 1970 and 1980, as well as the 1981 European acoustic shows.

I hope for a bits & pieces box set in the future from Fall 1966 to Fall 1970. Most of all bits & pieces from Fall 1967 to Spring 1969. Good mind expanding music.

8/12-14/79 would make a lovely mini-box.
Affordable and concise.
You could make me and HF very happy.
Cheers
And as RYXS suggests add the Oakland shows before that and you have a 5 show box.

we slowly inch our way to the summer solstice...so to do we slowly inch our way to the joy or for some people the dysphoria of the 2024 boxset announcement.

it is not the place, nor the condition, but the mind alone that can make one happy or miserable

stay HAPPY!
