Grateful Dead

Looks really tasty though. And i'd love to own it, but the after-market prices are a bit steep. Over ~$60 per disc seems a bit nutty even to me. The 3CD set & Live/Dead will have to do, i guess. The 30T Dream Bowl discs are really sweet too. A Full Norman Boston Ark 4/69 Box Set would make me forget all about it, tbh.

Everything JimInMD said in this post sums it up perfectly for me.

I never thought about whether any of these releases were of value to collectors or anyone other than me.. since One From the Vault in 93.. I just got them pretty much the day there were announced. Put me in the category of feeling very fortunate to be able to afford them, although 2015 made me wiggle.. I think it was the Freak Brothers than said Dope will get you through times of no money better than Money will get you through times of no weed. The same is true with Grateful Dead.

Dead of the Day: March 1, 1969http://gratefuldeadoftheday.com/03-01-1969 Fillmore West San Francisco, California On this night, the Dead began their first set by blasting into a Cryptical sparking what is arguably the best Other One suite ever. From there, the New Potato Caboose starts out slow but gathers tremendous momentum with Jerry painting some beautiful streaks across the sky before ending the tune on a ferocious note. The Doin’ That Rag - a wonderful psychedelic trip of a song - that follows is another first set standout, surely working the crowd into a writhing mass of dancing hippies. A Cosmic Charlie closes out the first set, beginning in its calliope fashion before exploding into pure frenetic energy. The second set begins a little slower before coming to that monumental Dark Star, which takes off like an exploratory spaceship, slowly clearing the stratosphere and then setting off in search of other worlds. Coming back down to earth, the Saint Stephen erupts in splendor, rollicking through the William Tell bridge into the Eleven in the midst of explosions of joy. The band then switches gears, gaining power without giving up speed as Pigpen asserts himself with a smoking, blues-filled Lovelight. Oh yeah, not to be overlooked, there is also a phenomenal Hey Jude encore that the Dead nail. The unbelievable music makes for nothing less than an incredible night.

I dunno it seems to me it not so much as "oh the collector's value Is ruined " as it is more a case of "I bought something I didn't want at the time but did anyway cuz it was limited edition and felt pressured"? I just say that cuz I have fillmore west. and it wouldn't bother me at all if it got re issued physically or digitally. I understand in keeping some things limited they cant afford to keep EVERYTHING in print at all times. that's waay too many shows. but maybe print more copies so that they stay around longer than what they do. and then announce hey these are gonna sell out cuz we're done with this shit like they did with road trips.

....First. I vote for not re-releasing FW '69. I don't have it, but I would be a little peeved if I did and they did. Doesnt keep me up at night.Second. Blue Dream. Some of the best. Relaxes the body, jump starts the mind. Trust me on that. Third. GDTS. I cash advanced on credit cards as well. Even cashed in a savings bond my parents gave me to see some shows. No regrets. But don't tell Mom. (Dad is hopefully in line to see Jerry, Orbison, and three of the Bee Gees). Fourth. Midnight Cafe is sweeeeet. Fifth. E72 is extra special because of McKernan. Sixth. Need to get caught up on D&C. Caught a few songs live, but hockey. I can only multitask so much. Seventh. I didn't get Dave's 1-4 at a flea market. Subscribed since day one. Eighth. I used to collect comics. Have 13 long boxes worth from 1978-1993. Got too expensive. Every Superhero movie that breaks records just increases their value to me. I also have two inaugural bronze pucks they gave away at the Golden Knights home opener. One just sold on eBay for $202.50. Ninth. Stolzfus cracks me up. Tenth. The Main Ten. As you were.... ....edit. Eleventh. The Eleven. Twelfth. Where the hell is the new box announcement? Thirteenth. Black Sabbath 13. Final release. Good stuff there....

I don't do credit cards. hey if it was worth it to you then congrats. not something i'd do lol. as far collector stuff I mean I never sit back and look at my box sets and think "this is worth money" I usually look at them with personal value. I would like to own physical copies of missing shows almost all but one was my fault for not owning I passed on a lot them. cuz I was not into certain years like 76 or '80. or wasn't into the band at the time, and didn't understand the limitations of 2 track recordings thinking oh they slacked off on mixing these aren't worth buying anymore. but anyways I would buy them but most are like 300 dollars per show roughly and 300 dollars is 3 years worth of dave's picks. so its like buy one show and possibly miss out on dave's picks for 4 possibly more amazing releases.... i'll stick with the unknown than the known in this case. but anyways you know you're listening to too much post brent when you put in dave's 3 and think its amazing stuff. but it does have a really good Other One i'll finally admit that.

Whenever a new tour was announced I never had the funds to do mail order. So what did I do? What every irresponsible early 20-something would do, I did a cash advance on a credit card, bought a postal money order, and mailed it to GDTS.When it was finally time for the shows I also didn’t have the funds to go, so I charged everything to my credit card. By the time Jerry died I had close to $10k in debt. TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!!!!!! Took a long time to pay off, but no regrets. Without that irresponsible fiscal behavior I would not have been able to see Jerry and the Boys. The effect those experiences had on my life is priceless. Not saying that you should run yourself into debt for a Box set, it’s not the same as GDTS mailorder.
