before you continue to spend a fortune on GD records, do yourself a favor and check out some of the free stuff that's available.
I'm not saying you shouldn't ever buy the official releases. Often the sound quality is superior, and you get the great packaging loaded with pictures, information, etc.
But also check out sites like this one: http://www.archive.org
There you can simply type "Grateful Dead" in the search window, and thousands of shows will be available for free. You can download any of them, plus many of the shows also can be streamed live, meaning you can listen to them through a built-in layer on the screen immediately, without having to download the show.
This way you can slow down a little, and explore the different eras of the GD without forcing your wife to cut up your credit card : )
...And those who were seen dancing,
were thought to be insane, by those who could not hear the music...

Hi, I love the GD live albums here on this site. Can anyone tell me which album I should buy next? I only have Road Trips Vol. 3 No. 1 + Bonus Disc, Dick's Picks 1 + 2, and Europe 72. I was planning to get Live Dead next, but does anybody know an amazing live album available here? Thanks!

If you mean what does it take to start a topic on a subject we don't have one for yet, send me a PM with the suggestion. Thanks!

Hello everyone. Im new to the site and computers believe it or not. Im trying to get my hands on some previous shows and a couple new further shows. If anyone can point me in the right direction and coach me threw it it would be great. Thank you much.
Starting to wonder. When will the next Road Trips, Pure Jerry, or vault release see the light of day? Hmm. Let's see. I think the last releases came out in November. Nothing since then. I certainly don't won't to be labeled a malcontent (God knows we have enough of those around these parts), but I'm starting to jones for some new material. Of course, new stuff will probably appear tomorrow morning making my post a moot point. But anyway, things have been quiet around here. Too quiet. Does that mean they are getting ready for something big? Sure hope so.

I appreciate Lovecrafts advice, it will certainly keep peace in the family and the divorce lawyer away! Although it would help if my wife catches the Grateful Dead bug as well. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
