    What's taking so long on the DVD's?
    Hey Everyone, I really appreciate all of the releases and understand that DVD's are more difficult to bring to market. However, We're not getting any younger and there is so much music already out there on CD. Can't you focus on getting some big runs of shows on Blu Ray? You know, Like the Warlock shows at Hampton in '89, etc. So let's hurry up and get it out here! OK, ready, Break! Thanks, Scot

    August 27, 1972, Veneta Oregon "Sunshine Daydream"
    Please release "Sunshine Daydream"! I'm sure the folks at Rhino as well as the band members themselves realize that this show is THE one that more people want to see officially released, in theaters and on DVD, than any other. There is tons of pro-shot footage of the whole show from at least 4 different angles, there are soundboard recordings, film crew audio recordings, nothing is missing to make this a reality except for somebody's permission. I would love to see a no-bullshit real explanation as to why this has not happened yet. Everybody has theories and there are little bits of "Bob said this or that" floating all around but I have never seen the issue addressed head-on. And we all know this wasn't just "a show". This was a historic cultural event, fully documented, kept under lock and key. And all the while the filmstock slowly succumbs to the chemical vagaries of time. A damn shame, a real damn shame.

    I'm sure I'm not the first one saying this but if we all keep hollering maybe they're get off their butts and put this out. August 27th 1972 It's all on film and georgus audio. Just put it out, the whole show don't bother editing just mail out !!! We're all sitting here waiting for you to tell us how much it'll cost !!!!Check Out My Orignal Music at www.reverbnation.com/salaversano

    Just release anything!!!! We will buy whatever you put out there!!!!! More of winterland 74, or how about veneta 72, or any europe 72 you have (you can tie it in with the big box set music release), or make it easy on yourselves, put So Far on dvd, or how about any of the shows from the 90's you have on video in the vault that were up on the big screens? Brent's last show? Any of the new years eve shows that were broadcast on pay-per-view cable tv (which seems to be most of the 80's? Halloween 1980? Summer Solstice 89? The final show? Anything!!! To save on money for yourselves, how about just releasing it on this website as a purchase for download, kind of like iTunes or your digital download series. Then you don't have to cover the cost of dvd booklets and cases. Or at least put some up for us to stream from the site to see!

    How about woodstock??!! may not have been the best performance, but it would probably be a huge hit on dvd, and not a lot of video from the 60's circulates at all.

    I have longed for a Blu-Ray or DVD version of "So Far." In my experience it's the only film made that captures the time distortion and texture of an actual psychedelic experience -- and does so convincingly even for unimpaired minds. Now that's a good trick and it deserves archival preservation for future generations. Besides that, the footage is beautiful, imaginative, and trippy and the music can't be beat. I think this masterpiece deserves a major revival since it could easily be the highest quality project with which the Dead have ever been associated. Azulstar

    I think you said that... Veneta '72 gets a lot of requests, shall we say. It is also in wide circulation.

    Does anyone official actually read this thread, or is this forum just for us to entertain ourselves with odd requests that will never see the light of day anyway? How about the rest of winterland 74 on dvd/blu-ray and/or veneta 72?

Just watched a DVD about the closing of The Fillmore West and Bill Graham's business style. In addition to an incredible two songs by The GD... Santana, Jefferson Airplane and other "groups" were showcased. July 2nd,1971 is the date of The Grateful Dead's performace... it's obvious that this whole show was filmed, complete with close up's of Jerry and Bob and split screens of the crowd and twirling girls... Rhino probably doesn't have the rigbts to this footage... but it is so good, they should try to get it whoever owns it should release it themselves..

As I stumbled out of the Oregon Country Fair on Sunday, wondering where we left the car, I asked if they filmed the 1982 show there? Also curious to know where the stage was for these shows, if anyone remembers.Would make a lovely box set-Sunshine Daydream 72 and the 10th anniversary show in 82. Just sayin........

I recently went to my local HMV and bought a bootleg DVD of this show. It cost 10 bucks and only has 7 or 8 songs on it. Other entities are making money on this by somehow getting "reputable" music stores to sell copies. So yeah... It needs to be an official release.

Not the best performance of the available 90's video screens but awesome energy because of good old mother nature.

Already seen it at meet up at the movies last year. Throw in the Music Never stopped (and the rest of the end of the 1st set cut off from Downhill on 7/17/89 as a bonus). You guys already have the footage. It sounds great. A very good show. Not on the level of SSDD, but almost nothing is.

This would be an awesome release... The soundboard isn't in circulation, at least I could never find it! The show is an absolute monster too... Playin' -> Crazy Fingers to open the first set and an incredible up-tempo Friend of The Devil to start the second set.

Please, you put it on the big screen for us. We all went to the "Dead night at the Movies". That show is complete, just waiting to be purchased and mailed to us. We need to see Jerry again, grinning at Brent and the whole band roaring that night. What are you waiting for? Teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself.

I know this isn't really the right forum for this but w/ the ad-hoc bands that played it's hard to find the "Right Site". What an incredible show! I didn't see a ton of shows (~20 from '73-'87), and all in the northern plains and midwest. Some were great, all but 1 were very good. This show at Red Rocks was the best. Please publish it! DVD would work. Just the music would be fine with me.

The show was filmed by ORTF (the former French national TV agency), and the original should be in the ORTF archives in the Institut National de l'Audiovisuel. Get a copy, clean it up, sync it with the SBD that was also made that night, and profit (spiritually and financially).

So little has been released from 1985 - can we have the So Far sessions released in total on video, and if you want to include all of the '85 NYE with Ken Kesey and Bill Walton and Guido Sarducci talking about USS Merrimac and Wagner himself, that'd be okay as well!

I would love to see a DVD release of the Woodstock performance. The version of Dark Star is really quite beautiful - I was listening to it and watching it on You Tube and my cat became fascinated by it and came and sat on the keyboard so as to get close to the screen. I played it many times, but now it has been removed for copyright reasons. I would love to have access to the video footage as well as the music, once again!!!

Hey, hows about we quit laming around and start releasing Summer 89' video box sets. Start with complete Alpine and go from there. Mixes need not be flat. Gets get some energy. There is such a thing as over mastering.

I am in the Boston area with an extra ticket to the movie today if someone wants it. I am going to the fenway theater. 617 686 9653

I second that emotion. Alpine '89 has to be the center. But I think a MeetUp at the Movies type box would be fantastic, similar to the All The Years Combine DVD box.

Out:
2011: GD Movie (no need)
2013: Sunshine Daydream (no need)
2018: Crimson, White, & Indigo (7/7/89, Philly)
2019: Giants Stadium Box (7/17/91)

In:
2012: 7/18/89 Alpine
2014: 4/12/72 Beat Club, Bremen, West Germany
2015: 7/19/89 Alpine
2016: 7/2/89 Sullivan Stadium
2017: 7/12/89 RFK, DC
2022: 4/17/72: Tivoli, Copenhagen (Danish TV)
2023: 6/22/91, Soldier Field, Chicago
Plus: 7/17/89 Alpine (Downhill Omits the last 2 of the first set, and this is the centerpiece of the release)

That's 8 shows. 6 complete. Add some of the others back in if you want more.
