Our friends the Rhinos have various and sundry new releases in the development process, but they're always interested in hearing what you'd like to see hit the virtual shelves of the Store. No promises, but you never know...

This topic is for requesting new individual shows. There are also topics for box sets and DVDs.

If you've already requested something in the previous Requests topic, you don't really need to request it again, but hey, if you just can't help yourself...

Releasing more shows

Not that I needed a reason to think about it, but the Contest really has me thinking about when and how the vault is going to be opened. What is undeniable upon listening to the free songs that have been available for download is how good the sound quality is. An officially released version of many of these shows would be a major upgrade to what already circulates. So when is this going to happen and how? The when is important for 2 reasons: (1) how many years can they conceivably continue to make money on the band, and (2) isn't there some obligation to older deadheads to allow them to get these shows? I don't know how much longer they can continue to make money off the band, but I don't think it is infinite. I think there are more deadheads passing away than there are being born. Now there definitely are kids in their teens and 20's that are being turned on to the band. But are these people really buying shows. They've grown up in a different world, where paying for music is an anachronism. I don't think they are buying like older deadheads are. I tend to think there is a limited amount of time to make money on the band. Even if I am wrong, and there is a long time left, isn't there some obligation to the people who made the band what it is. If you were 20 in 1970, you're 60 now. I hope we all live until we are 100, but being realistic, many of the original deadheads probably only have another 20 or so years left. Even those of us that are younger (I'm 37) don't have eternity. I think the when is soon. As to the how, running some numbers, let's say that a person wants to have 1000 shows. At $20 per show, that comes to $20,000. That's a lot of money. I'm certainly not spending that much money over a short period. Some may say that a person is not entitled to as many shows as they want. And I'd agree. But then areyou would be saying that only the wealthy deserve to have a lot of shows. I'm sure we'd all say that isn't right. So $20 per show is too expensive, which means you can't release everything on CD (which is probably not feasible anyways). So it needs to be released for download. And for much per show? MAybe $10 per show is fair, especially when Rhino would only have to remaster the show and pay for server space, and not have to pay for the CD's, the sleeves, the jewel cases, etc. Or you have yearly subscriptions, charging say $100 a year and allowing a maximum of 20 show downloads per member. So will everything be available to download? Again probably not feasible. But uploading 100 or 200 shows per year certainly is. I would make a list, using the input of your friend the late Dick Lavala, as well as the Davids, and others, of shows that are the likeliest of possible future official releases (for which you can charge the usual $20), and NOT upload those shows. For example, for 1977, you could argue that 5/5 -5/9, 5/12, 5/17, 10/2, 10/16, 10/29, 11/4 and 12/27 would make great offical releases, and thus won't be uploaded. But everything else should be. Needless to say, lossless and not just mp3 is an absolute must. I hope something happens soon. At the current rate of 10 shows per year, and estimating that maybe 200 shows have already been released and that there are a total of 2000 shows in the vault (which is probably not that far off), the vault will be entirely open by 2190. I feel pretty safe saying that none of us are going to be alive then. Please, get moving, take advantage of the energy this promotion has created and get the vault, or least a part of it, online ASAP. Thanks!

6/5/69, the show Dark Star from day 2 of the 30 day thing is taken from, is just about a no-brainer. And 3/14/81 (Althea day 3) doesn't even circulate on SBD!

Road Trip: 06/27/84 Merriweather Post Pavillion

There's a reason David Gans has played a lot of this show on the Dead Head Hour, it's great! I strongly believe that any '84 release should contain a "Help > Slip > Franklin's" since that is representative (as a "West L.A. Fadeaway" would be representative of 1983... hint, and perhaps an "Esau", also!). Look, 1984 is due to come up in the rotation at some point, right? Marin Vet's is OK (nice, even), but that has been around for a long time in very good quality, and it doesn't have the sizzle that this show has!!! This one's a keeper! I guarantee there will lots of praise for this representing '84! It's one of the best of the year, undoubtedly. Thanks! Tip o' the skull to ya! Plus, there should be lots of East Coasters and D.C. Heads that will pick this up, and many people who followed that tour! "Help > Slip > Franklin's" ALWAYS draws an audience, and that Set II is off the hook (as is the "Let It Grow", one of the funkiest and most ripping versions of the 80s! Listen to it!!!). A great "Brent show", also! Peace.

Rockpalast in Essen, Germany 3-28-81

Why don't you release sth. from outside the US??? The "Rockpalast" show was incredible... the boys on foreign ground following The Who... and they did it well, folks! You could call the set list average, but... Sugaree, Shakedown, Deal, Estimated > He's gone > into a rare pre-drums O1 which ends screaming in hyperspace are worth to be officially released!! Everything after drumz is with Pete Townsend and the boys really take off during the 2nd set! No vocal glitches, no mistakes make this a very fine show...!

a grateful dead video game?

It might be the last remaining audio visual frontier they have yet to explore. They could intersperse concert footage and base it on several timelines of interesting events. I'd like to see a computer game released.

8/5/79 Oakland Aud. Arena

The matrix of this show was done very carefully and there deserves to be follow-up from the Rhino side and a release of this one in it's entirety similar to Nightfall of Diamonds. Note: This was a two encore show. Bertha>Good Lovin' the first encore and JBG the second.

Hey Crispy - You mean 90 or a Garden show?

There is no Foxboro 91. The last time they played there was 90. Are you mistaking for one of the Garden show run in Boston that year?

Indy 6/30/84

Sounds like a mighty fine show. And not many shows have been released with Shakedown Street, especially a 2nd set opener.

The Shrine in LA, 15 October 1976 - The Missing Reel Saga

After completing two consecutive shows at Oakland Stadium with The Who the previous weekend, The Dead performed two shows, Thur.-Fri. 14-15 October 1976, @ the Shrine Auditorium in L.A..
The second show on the 15th is "The One".
it's "the One" that would be seriously considered for a Dave's Picks release. But Dave says the last reel for the 2nd set is missing. Oh, and no encore because there was no need for one.

I am hoping the following…

I am hoping the following will be released at some point:
Kezar 5/26/73
RFK 6/10/73
The Ark 4/21 & 4/22/69

A Dylan & the Dead box set including a couple of the best shows including just the Dead's set.

Watkins Glen complete soundcheck set 7/27/73

I asked this on another area of this blog already. May ask again. Can someone PLEASE tell me how I can buy an authentic cd or download of the complete dead soundcheck set from the Watkins Glen show - 7/27/1973? Thank you for any reply? Have the jam from So Many Roads. Have a framed poster in my home office. (I was only 11 at that time, I’m convinced I was born 10 years too late because I would have been there).

11/11/70. 46th Street Rock…

11/11/70. 46th Street Rock Palace Brooklyn. Wednesday night. First of 4. A few songs into the second set out came Jorma, Jack and Papa John Creech from the Airplane who played most if not all of the set. I've been looking for a clean copy for decades. The ones on Archive are horrible.

15th Anniversary Show

Folsom Field Boulder, Co from June 1980.
And since I'm here: A four disc (3+ bonus disc) Red Rocks 8-30, 31-78 if it would all fit. May have to go mini-box. This run has at least five first time songs having just come from the recording of Shakedown Street and is a slower just exactly perfect pair of performances in stark contrast, and in a crazy juxtaposition, to the July '78 Red Rocks shows.
Cheers from colorful Colorado

tax day '82.....pretty awesome show....

Hey now! I would really, …

Hey now! I would *really*, *really*, *really* love it if Louisville - 1974 could be an official release, if there's a decent tape of it in the Vault. It was my 1st show! How 'bout it, David?

Baltimore 73'

How long can this show be ignored?

3/26/73 (Mon) Baltimore Civic Center - Baltimore, MD

Set 1: Promised Land, Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo, The Race is On, Wave That Flag, Jack Straw, Sugaree, Mexicali Blues, Box Of Rain, Row Jimmy, Beat It On Down The Line, Brown Eyed Women, El Paso, China Cat Sunflower > I Know You Rider, Looks Like Rain, Don't Ease Me In, Playing In The Band

another vote for March 73 BCC

Great show, this was the Wolfman Jack show and was my first live Dead, way too delayed because, being ancient, had followed them since 1967. Have black and white photos of this show, wish there was a way to post some here.

Where there is great love, there are always wishes.....

Can't help myself, the one show I would request, if a soundboard recording was returned to the band, would be Felt Forum 12/5/71. The Holy Grail of 1971 shows...........

When all of your wishes are granted, many of your dreams will be destroyed......

Rock on,

Doc
I wish for other people because I already have all my wishes......

12/5/71

Why don't you call this one for Pot day? Don't know if I've tuned into this one before and I don't mind if I do now! ;-P

P.S. Shameless pick: 7/28/82 Red Rocks (don't mess with my levels)

Muddy Water

12-5-71 only time played, performed by Elvis among others
Dark Star>me and my unkle>Dark Star sammich yummy

You are the music while the music lasts......

I have avoided discussing 12/5/71 in my POTD posts, but not because it's not deserving. It absolutely is. However, in this thread I've tried---not always with success---to avoid "The Classics", which that Felt show definitely is.

And, I may be wrong, but it's a well known show, and these days I'm generally trying to highlight lesser known shows. How I approach this may reflect a bias based on my own collection, as I often assume everybody has "xx-xx-xxxx", and therefore doesn't need to be discussed.

Could be wrong, but cue it up anyways. Nobody will regret it............

Music is forever; music should grow and mature with you, following you right on up until you die......

Rock on,

Doc
When people hear good music, it makes them homesick for something they never had, and never will have......

hey now

Don't be shy to recommend anything, including cornell on POT Day. Shoot man, I'm a flaming dead freak. Never specifically tuned into 12/5/71 that I know of. Hella enjoying it today. Comes a Time>Casey Jones is where I'm at in the sequence.

And now, back to painting!! :-) :-) :-)

edit- 12-5-71 thru Sugar Magnolia - very intense rendition and crowd totally into it thruout the set.

Is someone calling out La Bamba in set one? :-) Back to it... :-)'

P.S. Tractors and traffic lights

12/31/72 unbelievable show…

12/31/72 unbelievable show. The pitb was included on the closing of Winterland bonus disc, but from what I can find of the fm broadcast, the truckin > other one > dew is where the show really separates itself. Would love to hear it cleaned up one day.

Norman OK 10/11/1977

Agree with Doc on 1971, thanks again for all grate shows.
How about Dick's first pick top three choice that was put back on the shelf 10/11/1977

I would like a release of the 2-9-73 Stanford Show

I would love to have the February 9 , 1973 Stanford show released on LP or CD.

I'm really surprised that 2…

I'm really surprised that 2/9/73 hasn't made it to release yet.

Where there is great love, there are always wishes.......

Good morning, fellow rockers!!!

2/9/73 is clearly worthy of release, but if I had to pick only one show, it would be 12/5/71, provided a soundboard has been returned to the vault..........

I am not unaware of the saying that more tears have been shed over wishes granted than wishes denied.......

Rock on!

Doc
A scientific man ought to have no wishes, no affections, - a mere heart of stone............

Grateful Dead/Allman Bros

I am really digging this show 6/10/1973. I had never heard the complete show, and am hoping it would be released in its entirety. I can image some copy write issues but it would be a winner.

show requests

4/17/71, can't believe this one has not been released yet. My guess is either soon individually or better yet as part of an April '71 box, or series of boxes a la May 77, Spring 90, and (hopefully) June 76.

3/6/81...

Man, this would be nice to see released! One of my all time favorites over the years. Both sets are on fire...Let it Grow>Deal to close the first set is like no other. 2nd set Estimated>Franklins's is one of just a couple of that combo, gorgeous transition. Runner up to this show is 7/10/81. The 2nd set is as good as it looks.

Dave's pix #48!?

💀⚡️🥀 I was just awaiting a Dave's Subscription & speculating the next release while looking at my stat sheet I made a few years ago of Dicks Picks & Daves saves when I first subscribed. Anyways I figure 1988 & `89 are little represented in either series as well being only a few shows from the GD "Download series" and only seen on box sets or "Without a Net" in 1990.

Anyways, so I went show shopping and came up with 6~25~88 @ Buckeye Music Center, Buckeye lake, Ohio. A good single summer show in town with a nice array of classic hits AND some choice cuts from new material soon to be released on a later studio album, 1989's Built To Last.✌️😸

P.S.~1982 is also a seldom seen official release year.

Frost Amphitheater, Palo Alto, CA - 10/10/1982

Figured I might as well put in a vote.

I would like to recommend the 10/10/1982 for a release.This was my 20th show and I feel it is worthy of a chance at an official release if the source material exists to be turned into a CD that meets Dave's Picks or commercial release requirements.

Having been there for both shows (9th and 10th) I do know that the playing was quite good both days. The band really seemed to be dialed in by the 10th. A couple of my buddies that were living in San Francisco at the time had snuck into the theater (either the day before or early morning) and wrote "Pummel Us, Phil!" on the stage right about where he would typically stand. Not sure if Phil saw the words or not, but I can tell you he did pummel us both days (check out the Morning Dew from the 9th for a taste of what the 10th had in store). This was also the last time I saw Phil playing a 4 string bass. By my next show (12/26/1982) he had moved to the 6 string.

All songs are great renditions with some highlights of Loser, Far From Me, Looks Like Rain, China Cat Sunflower > I Know You Rider, Playing In The Band > Crazy Fingers > Lost Sailor > Saint Of Circumstance > Touch Of Grey. Pretty awesome end of first set, then second set before drums. For me the whole show was great and those are a sample of how well they played in California on a sunny day.

Thanks for any consideration,
CorkyO

Frost 10/10/82, I second that pick

Ill second that pick, and add 10/9/82 for a 2 show release. Both shows were a knockout. 1982, the best year at the Frost. Put it together with 83 & 85 and you would have a great box set.

Is it possible to actually have them release a high res cover art file for DP? I have been trying to find that for the latest 48 and well it seems to not be around. Thx
