Sorta... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Grateful-Dead-Anthem-Anniversary-Deluxe/dp/B07… Release date was listed as 7/13/18 before being edited. Sounds like the timeline for 2018 will be: 1. Mid-April: DaP26 goes on sale. 2. End of May: Anthem of the Sun preorder. 3. June: Box announcement for a Fall Release. I think this for several reasons. First, we had two small boxes last year, so it’s more like ly to be a year end release, in order to space out the sets. Second, it’s probably going to be a larger than usual set. They’ve gone small for the last 3 sets, and these are usually announced earlier in the year. We’re due for a large box. The 30 Trips, Spring 90, and Europe 72 sets have all been Fall Releases with Summer announcements. 4. July: DaP 27 announced

...to those thrilling days of yesteryear. Brought to you by a "self-professed member of the Grateful Dead Sixties Syndicate" April 1, 1967 http://gratefuldeadoftheday.com/04-01-1967 KMPX Radio San Francisco, California This is one of the coolest thing out there in that it is a free form radio program with Jerry and Phil as the guests. It is all part of Tom "Big Daddy" Donahue's progressive radio program on KMPX, which was the birthplace of underground radio back in the 60s. Jerry, Phil, and Tom spend about two hours playing their favorite tunes and talking, both earnestly and humorously, about music and all sorts of other things. Not only are Phil and Jerry hysterical, but you also get such an incredible insight into both the time period and Phil and Jerry's sense of music. It is also so neat to hear the two of them get so pumped because they had a gig out in New York City. But, really, there are dozens of other nuggets like that in the recording. This is absolutely not to be missed! This was aired sometime in April 1967, but not necessarily on this date.

Please tell us ordering this box has been fixed! No more endleessly filling a shopping cart with no option for shipping, wondering if I ordered the box 30 times or not a all, no more making my wife witness a grown man gothrough the seven stages of grief repeatedly at lightning speed as a website keeps crashing. I don't even care what the box is I just want one. When is Dave gonna offer a preffered customer Dead.net only pre-sale?...just make sure im on the list.

Ha! Ha! Ha! from a "self-professed Grateful Dead 70's mafia" type *guy.* http://gratefuldeadoftheday.com/04-01-1991 The music is so good, we just have to return again to 1991 at the Greensboro Coliseum for our Dead of the Day, finishing off the two-night run that we started yesterday. The sound is just as light and airy as the day before, but with more purpose. Bobby sounds more involved and, at times, he keeps a bit of a faster rhythm, which seems to have an effect on everyone else. The Jack Straw opener is solid, but the boys really get going with the Peggy-O, with Jerry leading the way on vocals and guitar. Candyman and Bird Song - an epic one - are also first set highlights. However, as you might have guessed looking at the setlist, the real fireworks come out in the second half. The set-opening China> Rider is fabulous, just unbelievable, particularly the Rider. The jam in the Rider is so solid, but on top of that you have Jerry using some sort of strings section MIDI for part of it. That softer sound allows Bruce to be heard more clearly, opening a space for him to jam alongside Jerry, which, as you might expect, ends fantastically. In the LLRain that follows, Jerry continues playing profoundly. The version also has a little bit of Bobby vocal cheese, including an incredible echo effect at one point that was probably caused by Healy, in one of his better interventions. Then, after teasing it the night before, the Dark Star finally comes out. Given that they start off noodling on the theme, though, it would be several minutes before anyone could be absolutely certain the band was going fully into the tune. Even once they get into the first verse, the boys are still playing in a desultory fashion, warming to the music and drawing in the crowd. Slowly, the jam takes on more and more form, building an intricate lattice of splendor and glory. By the time they leave the stage to the drummers, things have entered into a seriously weird realm somewhere in the outer reaches of the galaxy. Drums and Space takes things out even further into worlds unknown before briefly returning to the lusciousness of Dark Star. Then, the boys finish off some more business from the night before, almost stumbling into a short Playing reprise. The rest of the set is good too, though the Lovelight is far too short. The Dead played seven shows at the Greensboro Coliseum over the years, and this, sadly, was the last one. They certainly went out on a high note though, with this sweet little two-show run that is a real highlight of spring 1991. The coliseum itself opened in 1959. Its original seating capacity of 23,000 made it one of the largest indoor venues in the South. The Monkees headlined the first major concert at the venue, and Richard Nixon visited during his failed 1960 presidential campaign. Along with one of my favorite shows: 1 April 1988 (and a portion of 31/03/88) which escaped from the GD Vault disguised as "Road Trips, Vol. 4., No. 2 APRIL FOOLS 88" on 1 February 2011. A 3 disc set. http://gratefuldeadoftheday.com/04-01-1988 As for the 70's, especially 1970 thru '75, the television series, "The Wonder Years" come to mind. My own personal "wonder years" were '68 thru '75. They were cool!

Right on Seth. Proves somebody here is actually paying attention.

Did somebody mention Buddy Cage? Don't even get me started.. what a talent.. amazing. I have been seeing them [NRPS] whenever I get the chance for years.. Until David Nelson broke his hip and Buddy got his blood cancer diagnosis they were playing each year in Thomas WV, sort of local to the middle of nowhere town I blissfully live in.. I even took my 79 year old dad one year. He thought it was a hoot.. but the strong smell of kind bud in the bar during set break evoked questions that were hard to dodge until the second set came to be.. reminded me a bit of getting busted doing bong hits in the basement when I was in high school all those years earlier.. but I digress.. and to my fathers defense, all is forgiven and the once staunch republican is now a bit of a liberal when it comes to pot laws, he wants it legal too.. everywhere and does not understand why they still lock people up for it.. anyway... But back to Buddy Cage (and David Nelson for that matter).. Don't get me started.. the guy smoked and will forever have my respect. Thanks Muleskinner for the mere mention and the memories evoked. David Nelson is another powerhouse.. and apparently the David Nelson Band is back up and going. David has apparently recovered from his broken or fractured hip from a year or so ago.
