Grateful Dead

dead.net the official site

Placed my order on the same day, 9/20, because I saw the Blu Ray was about to sell out. I've e-mailed three times and customer service won't even reply. The only thing I've gotten is the form e-mail (twice actually) acknowledging that their warehouse is generally snafu'd. I guess it's my fault for continuing to do business with this dumpster fire of a company.

Not sure how a move from months ago, before the Giants Box Set was manufactured, could be affecting logistics on an item that should only be housed in the new warehouse. This box was announced in August. Are they unable to find their own warehouse? And you got the BluRay which is sold out. This is getting to be a nightmare year logistically for Rhino/dead.net.

Ordered 2 Blu Ray sets on Sept 20th and still nothing, status still stuck on "processing".

I realize "moving warehouses" but its been 5 weeks without any notification is just plain wrong. Not to mention
zero replies to my email inquiry.

"moving warehouses" excuse is getting very old. I guess I will wait a few more weeks and then I will contact my
CC and dispute the charges.

Dave (of course!) forgets about Gainesville when describing the Lakeland show in the notes for the 30 Trips release. That had to be tongue in cheek on purpose though...2nd sentence and you have to read the word 'penultimate' literally as Lakeland was not the penultimate show of the tour, Gainesville was. The 2nd show Lakeland was the penultimate FL show of a 4 show tour that included a show in Atlanta (11/30/80 DaP 8) :-P

Yes, you are right it is missing. Can't believe it, what a huge mistake. You would think somebody would be proofing the content before it was made final. And it makes me think of Brent. I miss him. He left us way too young. I saw all my shows under the Brent era and I loved every minute. I have always had regrets about not seeing the boys after Brent passed. Of course the Band never came back to MN or Wisconsin after the 89 Alpine run. And I have no idea why. They played these two states every year before since I believe 73.

The 30 year look back is great, so much great music and video and so much more could be put out.

I like the 1971 Mr Charlies like Dick's 35. Those are very raw sounding to me and rock out. Jerry loud.

I love the cds, blu-ray and book. Has it be noticed that Brent's name is missing from the Band's members list at the last page? Or am I missing something? Thanks.

Less than 100 left. Better grab one while you can. They did a great job on this box and yes the 87 show definitely has some sort of audience patch. However, all five shows rock and the Video is great. One of my top five Eyes of the World and what a way to open.

We will have to wait another eight months or so until they announce the 2020 box and I have no clue what they will put out next. The last two years for sure have fooled me........Of course I would love to see that Epic Fall 80 run released but it doesn't look like that will ever happen.

Looking forward to the Spectrum release next week and have tons of great releases to spin in the meantime.

scratch the fleas

DAVE L. hit me with a 1984 box set !!!!

10.23.89 meet me at the Sizzla

I agree that the band really rocked during Keith's early years. The Fall shows from 1971 really capture this moment well. There is a great dvd in the Beat Club television series, from 1972, played during the European tour. All sorts of hard rocking bands are featured-the MC5, Deep Purple and Alice Cooper come to mind...but none swing as convincingly as the Dead doing One More Saturday Night. Great visuals on the show, too, featuring pictures from the covers of the albums.
