    I still prefer a cd over a digital type of thing but if these releases are going to be so under released perhaps having something itunes like isn't so terrible. I like that the road trips are available for digital download and then capable of being burnt to discs but I am hesitant due to some bad experiences with archive.org. I still wish these would not sell out and imo I can't think of any appropriate reason for limited edition music releases. Artwork or posters yes, backstage passes and tickets but shows...no.

    Dave's Picks on iTunes?
    Hi, Will Dave's Picks ever make it to iTunes for those of us that are strictly digital and don't use CD's?

    Out of print?
    I agree that these releases should not go out of print and be made available as demand dictates. Check out King Crimson's site. They run out of stock of various live releases all the time and always indicate "more on the way" or something to that effect. Our tastes change...sometimes we're not looking for a particular Dead show but next month, next year, whenever, we may want it. I'd buy some of these Dave's Picks but I feel the same way. With the holidays approaching each November, I cannot buy myself a subscription for the following year and then not even know what is getting released. Some limited releases are understandable. But, in my opinion, the Dick's Picks, Road Trips and Dave's Picks should be available at any time in physical form. Then, we wouldn't see these selling on eBay for lots of $$$...

    This has got to be one of the most cobbled together releases ever but it smokes nonetheless. I'm thinking of getting it for my Dad. If I could only find another copy with the bonus disc for a little less than my left kidney...if I had the world to give... :-)

    music releases
    Again it happens. I received an email sometime on thursday about daves picks vol 10. Of course I just logged on a little bit ago and saw this soooo in just over 24 hrs all remaining copies had sold out. Why are these releases being limited to what is obviously an insufficient number of copies. Also, if the subscription had already sold out how are there more available? I am not upset that there were probably like 4 copies more that were found for sale. I am very, very bothered that these are being treated like they are a commodity to be manipulated so many folks are left out in the cold. I have not been able to acquire a single daves picks release, never mind the even rarer bonus releases, but when dicks picks was the name of the game I was able to acquire every release but two. What is the moral of making these so difficult to obtain? Ebay is full of people, whom should be flogged imo, gouging the prices on these recordings that have far too few copies. Maybe when they sell out it could be wise to have another pressing, less if necessary but why are these being treated as if they were tickets to a Grateful Dead NYE show and the band was playing a 600 seat venue? Is Grateful Dead Merchandise printing 14000 copies only selling 10000 and bleeding the other 4000 on ebay for prices at multiples of the original price? Feels like insider trading on wall street. I understand not wanting to be forced to wharehouse tons of copies like dicks picks 9, I think the one with king kong on the cover but was the worst show in the dicks picks catalog, but must the shelves remain empty? I used to hate heads that would buy a dicks picks release and copy it for everyone but I now think that is the only way to go since these are being handed out like oxygen on the moon. I know Jerry is gone as is the band and not everyone who ever called themselves a head would buy a copy but there are more than 14000 fans left willing to shell out money ,we might not always have, in order to get a copy. Maybe subscriptions should go on sale a full year in advance of release so we might actually determine the actual number of copies desired. I've said it before but selling the subscription right around the holidays is financially painful to some of us. Try a lay away plan , I don't know but I would love to see all of these releases to enjoy a second release. Didn't Jerry once say something like once we're done playing it the music is the audiences. I have no problem paying a fair price and I don't have a clue what his or any of the band members views are regarding this music but I find it hard to believe that anyone can defend limiting the music to so few. Maybe Dead merchandising would still be operating 24-7Iif there were more copies to sell since that would mean more cash flow. And atleast this way of making money for the band and family doesn't require a grueling non-stop touring beast that if even indirectly it led to Jerry's demise with all of the pressure. Yeah stores don't sell CD'S like they once did but maybe with the right exposure and promotion some of our millions of heads and fans might actually buy more music, especially if everyone were to know that shows can be purchased. I personally know of at least a couple of folks that don't even know about dead.net much less Daves picks. Maybe that is good cause then I stand a better chance of getting at least one release but lightning striking seems more likely at this point.

    Dick's Picks 5: Is this my CD or a skip, it's been so long
    Hey all. Recently listened to DP5 for the first time in a long while, and was wondering if the chop at the end of Alabama is there for everyone, or is it just a skip my CD has picked up? It plays for the full 6:58, but then 'transition' to Promised Land has a chop in it.

RE: DP # 1: it is still available for download. The price for FLAC is $19.49, which seems pretty high for a 2-disc set. Compare that to the 3-disc DP # 18, whose price for a FLAC download is $15.99. What is even weirder is that the MP3 price for DP # 18 is $23.99, $8 MORE than the FLAC price. That doesn't make any sense. Needless to say, spending 1/2 hr and learning how to use Trader's Little Helper is a great investment and will save you $8 on a DP # 18 download (buy the FLAC, convert to WAV using TLH, copy to I-Tunes). I'd like to say that they are trying to be like netflix and encouraging us to buy downloads rather than physical products, but I don't think that is it. The current series, Road Trips, is not even available for download. I don't know what is going on or what the plan is.

I saw they sold out on the site. I found an inexpensive copy on cd from a competitor. Still filling in blanks in the collection but I'm not interested in downloading official releases. I want the real deal hard copy. Downloading Further and Ratdog boards is something altogether and I'm willing to pay for good Flacs on these. Official releases I want the package delivered with care and with all the covers and liners that belong to the release. If they force the whole download thing I'm done. I already have tons of terra bytes of legal music butI'd I'm buying something I want that extra care. Remember, the long walk is part of the gift. In this case I am paying for the gift.

I'd like to know opinions about this Road Trip, Denver '73...don't know if it's worth buying it (or if I'd better choose another one: I bought - in the Road Trips series, Austin '71, April Fool's '88, Rock Pow Wow '69, Fillmore East '70).My favourite Dead's year it's 72 (and maybe I'll buy DP Jersey City '72 together with it..), don't know anything about '73.. Would you like to help me, please?

I'll go out on a limb and say Denver 73 is the best RT release so far. It's a great recording of a great performance. Disc 2 is pretty awesome all by itself.

http://www.deaddisc.com/GDFD_Grateful_Dead.htm Denver '73 is outstanding, as mentioned by cbs73. Do check the release anthology, above, to read info on a bunch of music. DP's 1, 14, 19 and 28 give you a good taste of 1973. From '72, DP's 11, 23, 30 & 36 are very good. Steppin' Out, Rockin' the Rhein and Hundred Year Hall all feature terrific music from the Europe '72 tour. DP's 7, 12, 31 and RT 2.3 feature great shows from 1974. The differences from 1972 into 1973 and 1974 are amazing, following the new tunes released on Wake of the Flood and Mars Hotel.

Yeah, you can't go wrong with Denver 73- but if you prefer long spacy jamming, I recommend DP14. It's 4 discs and has 2 full blown PITB's and a great Dark Star. It's my favorite release from 1973. All the Dicks Picks from 1972 are pure gold, too.

Since hearing that the DP's might be vanishing from the store, I've purchased quite a few DP's recently. DP14 is one of those. Get #14 while you still can. You will not be sorry.Please bring back DP33. I would really like to purchse this. There is very little released 76 out there and this one should be made available. On second thought, bring them all back.

Wow, DP 19 (October 19, 1973) seems to be gone also. One of my favorite DP's. Glad I got that a few years ago. I guess the DP's aren't selling with everyone waiting for the 72 box set due out next month.

Does anyone have any insight as to why this is out of print?Is it somehow related to the Europe 72 box set being available? I apready have a copy on Arista but was wanting a Rhino branded cd (personal quirk) Comments please.

This is the first time for me on the forum so i thought i'd better make it count:I've read today that Real Gone Music (a label specialising in music thought to be 'real gone') will reissue the Dick's Picks series. They will start in November with 12 titles (according to their site), headlined by 3 stunners from the series (DP:34, 35 and 36). For real: check realgonemusic.com I know what to do and so do you guys, i can't be the only one still looking for volume 34. By the way, when on the Real Gone Music site please drop a suggestion in the designated box. Fillmore West 1969 Complete Recordings anyone? Come on let's make it happen, it's the right thing to do!

Real Gone Music will debut in November with 12 titles headlined by the Grateful Dead’s Dick’s Picks, Vols. 34, 35 & 36. “Dick” was Dick Latvala, the official tape archivist for the Dead until 1999, whose inspiration and encyclopedic knowledge of the band’s vaults spawned the fabled Dick’s Picks series of Dead concert volumes. Comprising 36 volumes, Dick’s Picks follows the band on its long, strange trip through a multitude of eras, tours and venues, featuring handpicked shows that display the band at its most visionary, improvisational height. Real Gone Music will bring this cache of Dead concert brilliance to record stores. Many have never been previously available at retail.~~~~~~~~~~~~ REAL GONE NOVEMBER 2011 RELEASE SCHEDULE NOVEMBER 8 GRATEFUL DEAD: Dick's Picks Vol. 34-Rochester, NY 11/5/77 3-CD SET GRATEFUL DEAD: Dick's Picks Vol. 35-"San Diego, CA 8/7/71, Chicago, IL 8/24/71 4-CD SET GRATEFUL DEAD: Dick's Picks Vol. 36-"The Spectrum, Philadelphia, PA 9/21/72 4-CD SET Real Gone's release of the Grateful Dead titles represents the first time these handpicked collections of live shows have been released to retail stores.

Is there a live release that has the song, "Box of Rain" on it? If so, please let me know so that I can get it. I'd really like a live version of that song. Thanks.

And these are disappearing fast from the Dead.net store. Some that appear for sale are in fact gone. Try adding some of the DP's to the cart. You will get a message that it is not longer in stock (a few still listed do this).

E72 turned into a fantastic clusterfuck for a large minority of buyers. Massive problems from start to finish with all the usual ones in between. You guys need to have a meeting and say: "Hey, Look, We have to bite the bullet on this one and take responsibility for the screw-ups." And they are all screw-ups from the side of the product materials control. The only people who are happy are the ones who got flawless sets and don't mind all those torn cardboard pieces of crap you call sleeves. What could Rhino do? Do another press run of Road Trips quality covers, or, even better, plastic cases and set a complete send out to everybody who ordered along with the replacement discs (for those who have defective ones). Do it NOW. ASAP! What is your alternative? Wait for a waterfall of credit card disputes that costs Rhino $15 a piece besides whatever they have to do to fix it? Maybe the bean counters should look at this one and say. "It's a no-win situation, refund the money for those who are complaining and keep it from those who don't. Maybe it'll be a wash. But wouldn't it be great if they did the entirely RIGHT thing? It's like there are competent people and not so much working at Rhino and you never know what kind of job they are going to do. Maddening! .

I'm with you lamagonzo. Hopefully Rhino is planing to do the right thing. Start by hiring a new Quility Control Dept, because the current employees did not do their job with the Europe'72 Complete Recordings Steamer Trunk . Too many corners were cut. Start by sending out replacement CDs and better sleeves to the people that reported problems, now not next year.

I noticed Dick's Picks 32 is available for pre -order on Amazon now. About $40. It isn't cheap but then again it is when you consider what a copy has been going for from Amazon Re -sellers and EBay sellers. I haven't checked to see if 31 and 33 are also reissued in this batch. I only needed DP 32 to complete the series.

C'mon guys it's time.

I know '94 is not well represented on my list. It does not mean that '94 is not worthy of another single release in my opinion. All good things in all good time (I hope).

So, anyone received their Dave's Picks? And, for goodness sake, who is the boob at Rhino that went with Dave's Picks instead of Dave's Faves? I know it isn't proper English, but at least it rhymes. Dick's Picks, Dave's Faves. Dick's Faves sounds dumb, as does Dave's Picks.

Just downloaded Dick's Picks 36 from ITunes - there's a noticeable hiss in background. It's most noticeable hiss of handful of Dick's Picks I have - is it the release or maybe an issue with the download?

Speaking of the Box of Rain and Searching for the Sound, does anyone here actually have that bonus disc. I got someone trying to sell me one (with the book), but the CD doesn't have anything printed on it. Is that legit or not? I don't want to pay for a copy. Sorry if this is the wrong place for a question like that, but I did very much want to get the Box of Rain from Soldier Field '95 on something. Last GD tune ever.

How about this: Everyhing that is out there that has been released and is in stock. Yeah, sure. There would be a lot of repeats to gift away but so what? If they just made Fillmore 69 and the entire Didck's/Dave's Picks and Road Trips a part of the package it would be worth it. Oh yeah, all picks would have to be hand-checked three times for flaws. This package would include everything: Discs, tapes, downloads, vinyl, dvds, -- the whole enchilada. Sort of like cleaning up the shelves. Think about it. I think this would sell out and make room for the latest and greatest,

Hey Now! Happy Independence Day! I recently came into a little bit of cash & was hoping to extend my live Dead collection. I have never purchased a Dick's Pick, but was looking at some of them in the Dead.net Store. Here is my question to all you Dead Heads out there: If you all of a sudden had some money to spend, and did not have any already, which 5 Dick's Picks would you invest in for certain? Thanks in advance, Angel Lawrence, KS

Taking into consideration my listening tastes and trying to provide SOME variety, I'd suggest any 5 of the following 6: Vol 29 (5/19,21/77), Vol 26 (4/26,27/69), Vol 23 (9/17/72), Vol 18 (2/3,5/78), Vol 14 (11/30,12/2/73) and Vol 12 (6/26,28/74). I'm sure 99 others would give 99 different answers. You can't go wrong with any of the Sept 72, Fall 73, 74 or 77 releases. And 70 & 71 are darn good years too (just not my absolute favorites). WOH, wait, I forgot about Vol 10 (12/29/77)!!!

With an unexpected windfall I'd probably go with: 10 (12/29/77), 14 (11/30-12/2/73), 15 (9/3/77), 25 (5/10-5-11-78), 28 (2-26-2-28/73). There you go...ask me tomorrow ya might get 5 different choices...haha!

sweet deal right now on the originals The Vault Box for $52 - price goes back up after the 8th of July... I've never seen a remastered From the Vault #1 but I assume it exist (anyone have a HDCD copy?)

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.

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'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...
