    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...

    Box Sets
    What would be really good would be a box set of Europe 90 - nearly 25 years and nothing so far. Presumably the powers that be don't believe it would shift enough units Stateside to justify the effort.

    How about a box set of complete shows with Multi-track masters. One from each year of the 70s. That would be phenomenal, as we love the sound to be just exactly perfect. There has to be something from '74 that sounds as good as the GD Movie Soundtrack. And are any of the other 3 shows from '75 available on multi-track? And anything with Keith and Donna from '79?

    There were four shows, two dark stars, and you could add the San Jose show 8/20 as filler.These were some of my first shows, and this was the run where I got it - these guys were playing great stuff, and were doing different sets each night. After this run, I started going to every show in a run. Soon I started traveling to see shows in other parts of the country. Never regretted it.

    50th Anniversary?
    Gotta be something big for the 50th, yes? And while I do love the big box sets (Fillmore '69, Winterland '73 & '77, Europe '72, Both Spring '90s) I have to say that I couldn't afford 2 of them at the time (Europe '72 and Fillmore '69). I hope if they do something big for the 50th they at least release the individual shows later. How about picking the best show from each year that hasn't been fully released and round out the set with Wildcards. Break it up. Release #1: '65-'72 Release #2: '73-'78 Release #3: '79-'86 Release #4: '87-'95 Release #5: Wildcards Include Rio Nido '67 and some of the '87 east coast stuff: Greatest > Devil with a Blue Dress > Good Golly Miss Molly > Blue Dress & the Good Lovin' > La Bamba stuff. That was sweet. Or the Santana '87 shows. Anyway, just thought I'd put my ear to the ground on the 50th.

    Now this IS a good idea too. If you have a SBD of the San Antonio show in the vault, please do release it! Or even just SBDs of the ones you do have. Or hell, release all the Texas shows you have in a box set. Or two box sets, early and later. Now, about the California box set . . . .

    EASY, PROFITABLE, AND HIGHLY DESIRED BOX SET
    How about a box set of all the "bonus discs" that have been released so far????? I have talked to a bunch of people and everyone agrees: It is great to give the bonus discs, and we always love getting them, e.g., the one with the newest Dave's Picks was great. But, we all also agree it is infuriating not to be able to get them after that. I have some, I've missed some. I want them all. I was just on Amazon a few minutes ago and a bonus disc from a Road Trips was being offered for $140 bucks. Ouch. I don't know about everybody else, but I would much rather the Band get a chunk of my money than it all going to a reseller. So, how about putting out a box set with all the bonus discs issued to this point? You could charge a fair amount for it and it would still be worth it. Plus, you already have the CDs worked up -- it would be cheap to produce. Then, in the future, you could put out another box set-- Bonus Disc Box Set Vol. 2 -- with the bonus discs issued from this point forward. Now you need to release more stuff faster so that it is not too long a wait for the future bonus discs. Or you could do with the future bonus discs what I am suggesting below for the future releases: Cheaper by subscription to begin with, then the price cranks up to a lot after that. And the Fillmore 1969 box set . . . . I missed it-- I was getting married and moving during that time and didn't even know it was being released until they were all gone. But holy cow, who WOULDN'T want that? If you are going to want one thing . . . . New ones sell for $750 on Amazon now, used ones like $440. Frankly, I already have all the shows, but that doesn't mean I don't want the box set. Not only do I want it just because, but I want to buy one so the band can get some money for their incredible music. When you do these limited releases, all you are doing is diverting money to resellers rather than the money going to the band. Generally, I try to buy everything you all put out . . . . so you will put out more. Rather than making things unavailable after limited runs, wouldn't it make a whole lot more sense to instead jack the price up? For example, you could do the Dave's Picks subscription for $150 for the year (charge at least that much--they are worth it--whole shows, great shows, great packaging and information,etc., keep up the great work!). Then, if you don't get a subscription, make the individual Dave's Picks available a couple of months after the subscription release them but sell them for something like $60 bucks each. Everyone is happy if you do it the way I suggest. Right now all you are doing is putting money in the pockets of resellers that would otherwise be going to the band. I don't like that and I don't like not being able to buy everything that has already been released, particularly in these days of CDs, when they can be easily produced again. Thanks for your consideration.

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.

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.
