    Looks like I may be off a day on the dates

    I got the dates by looking at all of 1985 in the archive. But when I went to the actual show page for the first few shows, they were a day later than the page for the whole year. Anyway, tremendous tour. Just listened to an old soundboard of one of the shows. Just great. The last summer "shed" tour?

    HERSHEY PARK STADIUM
    MERRIWEATHER POST PAVILION (2 shows)
    PITTSBURGH CIVIC ARENA

    If memory serves, this was the LAST summer tour that did not primarily consist of sports stadium shows. To me, that makes it the last true summer tour! Every show I heard on tape from this tour sounded like it was excellent.

    What a wonderful box set this would be! Absolutely number 1 on my wish list!

    Summer 85

    6/14/85: Greek! 1st Keep On, Dew Second opener. (Depending on size and if you consider as summer tour?)

    6/22/85: ?? not the best of the tour but fun Keep On and figure should have at least 1 for each venue?

    6/25/85: Day Tripper! Perhaps best show of tour?

    6/27/85: Toeeee ga! Crazy show

    6/28/85: one of my all time @ Dews! Fun first set with 3 consecutive JG tunes! Great TMNS. Cool early Tom Thumbs.

    6/30/85: one of the best Shakedowns EVER! Must Have!
    Cryptical: should have some historical record…

    7/1/85: Scorching Scarlet/Fire!

    7/2/85: ? Depending on size

    7/13/85: Insane 1st set, Cryptical, maybe use part of or as filler?

    6/16/85: ? Maybe, filler? Bueller! 1st Cryptical…

    Not sure why the horn shows have the stigma they do? Probably taper bias BS?
    Agree wouldn’t want to listen to the whole tour in a row (though I did and really loved it)
    Would make a nice 3 show box.
    Wake could be argued to be one of the best studio outings they did. Jazz Dead, come on!
    So how can we not have a historical document of such a cool and unique part of Dead’s evolution?

    9/11/73: 73 great show with Dark Star and 4 of the new songs off Wake. Must Have!

    9/15/73 or 9/17/73: both are great and have 6 newbies off of Wake!
    Use one for box and the other one for the bonus for Wake of the Flood 50th!

    9/21/73 or 9/26/73: pick one to illustrative how much things changed from start to end of tour??

    1968: say 4-7 discs of shows, even if partials or short shows?
    1969: 4/4, 5, 6/69 and 4/21, 22, 23/69.

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...
