    David Lemieux had said that each volume in a given year will be from a different line up of the band. So, the Vol. 4 has to be pre-Keith or post Keith. I have been thinking along the lines of an early 80's release, but 68 would be great...

    Dave's Picks Vol 4
    I am starting to get very curious about what Dave's Picks Volume 4 will bring us. Volume 1 was 77, Volume 2 was 74, volume 3 was 71....so if volume 4 follows the "3 years earlier" pattern then it could possibly be an amazing show from 1968. Also, the first 3 volumes are from the 70's, so could volume 4 be one more amazing show from that decade? Whatever show it will be, I have no doubt that it will be a nice treat.

    thanks for the heads up
    What I don't get is why they don't advertise this on Dead.net. Oh, and I also don't get why they'd leave one side of the record blank for Dick's Picks 2. Seems like a cool concept to put these out on vinyl.

    I'm sorry if this has been
    I'm sorry if this has been discussed at length in these forums (I'm sure it has somewhere) but why is it necessary for all the Dick's Picks/Road Trips/Dave's Picks to be limited edition and, at least for Dick's Picks at this point, largely out of print? It's frustrating considering that we can't all afford to buy every release. If it's about the music, which it is to me, then why not just have these shows available forever? While it's nice to have the occasional numbered set of something I'd still be perfectly happy to just be able to acquire releases when I either can afford them or when I'm in the mood for some Dead I do not yet have. Just my opinion...

    I recall the '69 Fillmore West box being about $70 total with shipping. Like the Europe '72 box, the cost per disc was pretty cheap. Like you, I have found the sound quality of almost every official release to be stellar. I'm sure you'll enjoy the box (all 6 shows are Very Good in my book)!

    I think on the Rhino site it says why it's the theme...i bought it hook line and sinker they said only 9,000 copies and didn't want to not order and pay over 200$...i think the book and memobilia shoot up the price and let's face it it's for the rich or the very addicted...how much was the 1st limited box set? the 1969 box set? Originally...but the 1990 box set is incomplete and there's already been 3 shows at least released from that tour...dozin at the knicks, Nassau 90, the cardboard one with the turtles on it...so 3 right there...i guess it was a good tour even the dead thought so many years ago...lot of passion and energy in those shows...i think they will be released eventually as seperate show all 6 is what the box set will include, so 6 more shows that are not the previously released shows, the 1972 box set did dupe 2 or 3 shows but it would've left holes if they didn't as the promise was every show in the tour, this is just 6 shows with a good rounded out set list to include as many different songs as possible with great quality as well and i'm sure it was as they were professionally recorded...almost all of the dicks picks sound professional except some really early one's like 1968 and 1970...anyway no notice on here thankfully i got an e-mail and i'm out of 200$ but i made this commitment in 1997 or so...i still say the grateful dead is the best live band ever...maybe there were better bands overall but none were better live at least not on a coutinous basis.

Will the package deals for the Dicks Picks series be available again? Such as 1-36 for $650 and the 6 cd deals? Also are there any plans to make the Mother Mccree CD available again?

Any updates about the packages deals? They were available on the previous site's store but didn't seem to make the transfer to the new one... In addition to the Mother Mccree, a repress of the 1st Old & in the Way CD would be great if possible as well.

Will reviews (of catalog items) posted to the old dead.net site reappear on the new site? For instance, I don't see any reviews for the Live from the Cow Palace set. I also find that some items in the catalog lack contents info (lists of tunes). Would that be from all the rigmarole involved in getting the new site up, or...?

Is there any news of anything new coming out? Seems like the cobwebs are growing on the vaults lately. Up until a couple of years ago they were releasing a minimum of 5 or 6 CDs/DVDs a year. I'm beginning to lose interest because of the lack of output or even news of pending releases.

When did 3FTV come out? Wasn't it the end of July? Should be by the end of October if their planning on four per year. But who said anything about four per year! It'd be nice. What would be cool is if the eventually forthcoming release had DP37 on it! That would surely improve everyone's mood a tad. "From day to day, just lettin' it ride, You get so far away from how it feels inside, You can't let go, 'cause you're afraid to fall, But the day may come when you can't feel at all."

Echoing Spacebrother's comments, I too have been disappointed in the dearth of official GD releases over the last 2 years. Since DP 36, which was released in 2005 I think, we have had only 2 releases, the Fillmore '69 boxed set and 3FTV. While the boxed set is GREAT, I don't quite understand while a second edition hasn't been made available, or even why it had to be a limited edition to begin with. As for 3FTV, quick run throughs of what would eventually become great tunes don't appeal to me. What shows would I like to see? Wow, I don't know, just about anything from 1969 or 1972-1978, and any fine show from the Brent era. It is easier to say what shows I don't want. I know this is going to be extremely unpopular, but I think the Europe '72 shows are extremely OVERRATED. And even if the shows aren't overrated, what with the original Europe '72, Hundred Year Hall and Steppin' Out, isn't that tour already well represented? Of course, I would like to see more fall '72 shows, and we all know that tour has been well represented (9/17,21,27), so what do I know? I'm also not into the post-Brent releases.

well Dstache, to fair them there was Cow Palace too.. I liked that m0stly, but it sounded a bit flat and sterile to my (admittedly way past their best) ears Anyway since the Tapers Section has adopted such a new upbeat, music-focused peace and love type vibe where can an inveterate whiner like me hang out these days? Really it is truly disappointing that the 'Official Announcements' forum here is such an empty, space right now, gathering dust over the past 3 months. This site (esp the request list forum) is full of good ideas. Has the organisation nothing to say to us? No feedback? Not even a teeny weeny thank you.............maybe just a little light....a tiny tease.....please...someone... ....Hello ....Hellooooooooooo

Correct, Cosmicbadger, forgot about the '76 New Year's Eve show. Let me also add that Rockin' on the Rhein is another Europe '72. I actually listened to most of that show this weekend and it is a fine show.

Whatever happened to this release? I first saw it at Best Buy, and I know I'd seen it on the site prior to the transition, but since then it seems to have vanished from the face of the Earth. I can't even seem to track down a copy on eBay.

Hey anybody else catch the drop outs in the China Cat and Rider on the Bonus Disc ?Or is my copy defective. And on the Night At The Family Dog DVD release, In the All-Star Jam Jerry, Jorma, Carlos - Lead Guitar Paul, Bob - Rhythm, Jack - Bass, Michael S. - Drums Michael C. - Percussion, But who is the Third Drummer, It's not Mickey or Bill or Spencer.

I mentioned Hundred Year Hall in my 9/26/07 rant above, Bob. I was saying that the Dead should NOT officially release any more Europe '72 because that tour was so well-represented. And then I go and receive your Europe '72 Eurovine (see the Vines forum for those not in the know) as well as relisten to some of the official releases, and ... I don't know anymore. Yeah, it is a well-represented tour, and it deserves to be.

I was rather new to downloads back when these came out and made the mistake of buying and downloading the higher quality of MP3's before the old store closed and saved the artwork as well. Unfortunately, I had to wipe my computer and lost it all. I' going back and buying them all in FLAC but now it looks like the artwork is missing. Any chance that they'll put it back up?

While Europe '72 is nice, I agree that the Fall is even BETTER. They've already officially released 3 shows from it, 9/17, 9/21 & 9/27. I have a nice copy of 9/28, another fine show and a not so nice copy of 9/24 (GREAT Dark Star, don't even notice quality of recording isn't that great). Oroboros says he has a better copy of 9/24. I would like to add another show or two and create a nice Cream Filling # 2 vine.

The 9/30 Wash DC show isn't even in the Compendium, had to look on Deadlists. How is the sound quality? Compendium doesn't list many Oct shows with quality SBDs. I have a few Nov shows that were part of that big batch I acquired a while back. Hven't listened to one of them. I know my 11/17 Wichita isn't very good, even the Compendium lists an A SBD and mine sure isn't it.

For getting a bit off topic. I'll get us back on-Release More Fall '72!!! Please do not make it a compilation Road Trips unless what you are releasing is all that exists in the vault from those particular shows, or what is left out is atrocious.

The St Louis, Cleveland and Cincinatti shows have amazing Dark Stars with a Phil Bass Solo, if my memory is working correctly. As far as i am aware all that is available is Dark Star>Sugar Mag, but that is well worth searching out. this could be an idea for another vine Bob - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Spanish Jam

The following was posted on the Rock Revival Blog http://rockrevivaltripleh.blogspot.com/2008/01/grateful-dead-winterland… MONDAY, JANUARY 28, 2008 In May 2008 a 9-cd set will be released called Winterland 1973: The Complete Recordings. This captures the Dead in their hometown of San Francisco at one of the most fertile points in their career, they had perfected the art of the jam, could play country, and could tip you off the edge of the world into space with the notorious "Dark Star". These albums are of excellent remastered quality, check dead.net for more details on ordering. I don't know where they're getting their info from - just wish Rhino would make some kind of announcement so we can set off the fireworks.

Over the past months several people have requested the the cover art and details be restored to the GD store download site but without any luck. These covers were all available on the old deadnet site and so they must exist somewhere. May I add my voice to those asking for these to be kindly restored..it may even encourage more people to buy the music.

I've seen this as an alternate title to "One From The Vault" in bootleg form. I always knew it as "Make Believe Ballroom" but I'm wondering what this title means? Urubouros Deedni Mublasaron Backwards I see "noras ALBUM INDEED soruoburu" but I have no idea if I'm not so something there and this doesn't appear to be a foreign language I recognize. Anyone know where that title comes from?

Excuse me but concerning RARE CUTS AND ODDITIES... HOW IN THE GODDAMN HELL IS A DEADHEAD SUPPOSED TO GET A COPY OF THIS ALBUM??!?! WELL?!?!?!?!?!?! WHAT THE FUCKING HELL?????!!!!!?!?!?!?! Damn, you people are assholes. Here we are supporting you yet you keep stuff from us because why? Because you're pricks, that's why? Yeah, I'd agree. How many fucking times did I fucking Mailorder?
