Grateful Dead

I took the Pepto clue as a cure for the runs so I was thinking the release would be a complete Run at one venue. My initial thoughts were for BCT, Capitol Theatre or Orpheum, but they've all had a show released. So then my thinking was shows from the Greek, but the Beacon guess is interesting too.

Not sure if this has come up, but is Bolo's earlier clue (Johnann 6 2) a (somewhat obvious) reference to John 6:2? "Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He performed on those who were diseased." Perhaps the box will include a series of shows for charity causes?

more and more I like the idea of a box consisting of complete shows spanning multiple years from the same venue. I'm an east coast guy so would love an MSG or Spectrum box but those are probably out considering several shows have already been released from those venues so I'd gladly "settle" for a Greek and/or Frost set instead!

Not predicting this will ever happen but I'm sure would be well received.Summer Roosevelt Box Set: 7/18/72; 8/1/73; 8/6/74 (would be nice to get full show); 8/4/76. Dave, if you're reading....make this happen!

My prediction for announcement: 4th week of April (Monday 4/23 - Friday 4/28) After a 90 day window; Release date: should be in the last week of July (Monday 7/23 - Friday 7/28) just in time for Jerry's birthday, Wednesday, August 1st, and some folks may get delivery on Thursday the 9th. Contents: I won't predict/speculate on this matter, or the number of discs in this box, only that the contents WILL NOT BE: The Spectrum, Philadelphia PA., September 30-31, October 1, 1995. That's 8 or 9 discs of silence. Now playing: Mississippi 1/2 Step (11/06/77) DaP 25 vs. circulating 122296 soundboard. Now drinking: coffee - black, without creamer or sugar.

Don't pass this one up it rocks. https://archive.org/details/gd1987-04-04.140306.sbd.miller.flac2496

Thanks for the clarification, all this time I thought Pigpen was a filthy two dimensional human child with a severe case of dysmorphia. Sarcastic eye roll...I'm skeptical that anyone on this board but Bolo knows whats happening. Especially when comments are full of hyperbole and wikipedia facts. But, I'm a deadfreak scientist so skepticism, sarcasm and cynicism pretty much consume my interpretation of everything.

Greek Theatre Box set.... Mr. Pete---------> aging hippie

"... the upcoming, ‘New’, Grateful Dead boxset in 2018Is going to “wow” all dead fans, old & new alike. It’s a masterpiece!!! I can guarantee that every member on this board and fans of the Grateful Dead are going to witness a miracle. Prepare to smile smile smile folks! :)" For the above to be true, it would have to be Fillmore West 1969 The Complete Recordings REMASTERED. We've got a real picky crowd here.

Dead of the Day: April 4, 1971http://gratefuldeadoftheday.com/04-04-1971 Manhattan Center New York, New York ... After a fun little stage banter, the band plows right into a smoking Bertha. A tune later, Pig enters the scene with Next Time You See Me, bringing some awesome harp and fine vocals. They never really let up from there with an early Morning Dew into Playing. After a good Loser, Pig delivers the last Easy Wind ever with great deep and bluesy vocals. The band, however, is a little out of sorts, screwing up at the end before everything comes together. But they come right back together and rip through a smoking, tight Greatest Story> Johnny B. Goode. The second set is much the same, fabulous, rocking tune after smoking jam. There is little spacy-ness here, but the boys totally make up for it with pure, throw-down, bluesy, rock and roll. After a monster, 25-minute Good Lovin’, the Dead finally throttle back slightly, delivering a Going Down the Road Feeling Bad that is a bit more relaxed, but lacks nothing for beautiful jams and tasty licks. That leads us into a Saint Stephen that builds, gaining intensity and energy as it picks up speed. Eventually, it roars into a Not Fade Away that continues the high energy, wailing up until Uncle John’s, which puts an oh so sweet end to the night. 04/04/71 Manhattan Center - New York City, NY Set 1: Bertha Me And My Uncle Next Time You See Me Morning Dew Playin' In The Band Loser Easy Wind Me And Bobby McGee Greatest Story Ever Told Johnny B.
