    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...

    Replace Your Face: Winterland October 1974 Complete Recordings

    This really needs to happen if at all possible. I for one really like the sound on the Soundtrack release and have pined for a complete recordings release ever since.

    Boston Tea Party

    I, too, would love to see this released as a box set. The Fillmore West shows from '69 are great, however highlights from these shows are already on Spotify. I purchased the Buffalo 5-9-77 box set recently, and have been loving it, partially because it isn't available on streaming sites. More of these shows on vinyl, such as the April 21-23 run in Boston, would be a great addition to any collection.

    Also, can some (or all) of the Dave's Picks please be released on vinyl? I don't understand why those issues are limited to CD only. Anyone that can shed some light on why this is this case?

    You guys need to get serious…

    You guys need to get serious about releasing a couple of 1973 box sets. The begining of the year is great , but by the time Sept, Oct, Nov tours it is absolutely "sick' as the younger generation would say.

    suggested box set: Europe '81

    1981 is the genuine lost gem year. The vibe still felt fresh in general, Brent was in his prime, and Jerry too--his playing was just spectacular, and his major mid-80s vocal and lyrical problems were still a good ways off. I am aware that, unfortunately, the soundboards from the year are not at all complete in the vault. But I have read about the tours, and it sounds like there were MANY truly superb shows. The 1981 EUROPE TOUR sounds like an especially hot run. Maybe even hot enough to give Europe '72 some real competition. ... What say you??? A box set concept doesn't get much better than that!!! Even if it were to have less-than-stellar sound quality, I'd be drooling for it. Oops...I just noticed, I'm already drooling for it!

    The Arks and Boston Tea Partys has a great idea!!!!!!!!!!

    The person who suggested The Arks and Boston Tea Parties has a great idea. Dave needs to get out of his box release slump, my opinion, nothing humble about it.

    Surely a no-brainer...

    I am totally with you, SIMONROB, was crossing my fingers waiting for this to be announced as the boxed set in 2019 but was terribly disappointed. I would love to see these shows in a boxed set, and I would go one better and make these along with all the 1969 Boston Tea Party Shows a boxed set. Especially unique is the only East Coast New Years Show that year. I can't help but feel that they totally dropped the ball by not celebrating these shows on the 50th anniversary in 2019. Instead, we got Giants Stadium, because there was video coverage? Shrug, not impressed in the least. Missed a great opportunity IMHO.

    Dark Star

    I would like to see a 'Dark Star'-Boxed Set: starting with the earliest DS and then all the best ones, in chrono order. Let's be generous, a 12-disc set will do. As the title, maybe 'The Darkest Stars Vol. 1'. Then, a year later we get Volume 2, another 12-disc set. A year later, we go to 'The Other One'-Boxed Set, with Volume 2 following. Then we go to the 'Playing In The Band'-Boxed Set. We round it off, 6 years on, with the 'Long Jams'-boxed set, only the best this time. 7 years for 84 discs of peerless rock improvisation and telepathic interplay. Heaven !!

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...
