Why Don't We Do It In The Road

Can we discuss some sort of ‘81 Europe box set or releases? Some real gems in there and ‘81 is soooooo underrated!

How about a 1974 Wall of sound box set.
Or an Alaska 1980 box.

A couple days ago on Sirius TIGDH David Lemieux played some tunes from the 7-1-1973 Universal Amphitheater show. I was fortunate to see 2 of 3 of this 3-night run 6-29, 6-30, 7-1-1973 and was wondering if it could possibly be considered for a future small box release. The venue was brand new and still a virgin open-air outdoor amphitheater was since converted to an indoor venue. The GD was THE very first act to play there that weekend and covered a lot of the newer & as-yet unreleased material. Frank Sinatra was the "Official" first artist doing a week of shows a few days later but the Dead had already christened it in a spectacular way.
This was a short notice ticket sale event that as I recall was only listed locally 2 or 3 weeks before. I went to the box office on day of Saturday show and scored 2 front row seats on piano side of the stage with a great view of Garcia & Weir and some great interplay.
Should definitely be given a listen.

Looking for some help in the area Of landing some tunes to jam out to as I’m a Wounded Warrior Marine and while SLIPKNOT helps the Dead help more

End 2023 with Watkins Glen release.

2024 box set: 1974

2025 box set: MASSIVE 1985, and give us working class folk enough notice to pull the money together for it, thanks in advance.

As always a crispy Summer 82' box set someday.

The end of the Summer Tour in '91 was hot, hot, hot! So how about a box with the DVD/Blu-Ray of the 6/22/91 Chicago show, boxed up with the following three shows--6/24 & 6/25/91 (Sandstone--both shows have been played on SiriusXM) and 6/28/91 (Mile High--which was on a GD Hour)?

The three shows at the Richfield Coliseum (9/4-6/91) to kick off the Fall Tour were pretty dang hot as well . . .

Thanks for your consideration!

Especially for the later years, but you could even be more creative for lesser tapped years like 68 or 86.

it seems to work for the CDs why not try it with vinyl? The pressing plants backlog has gotten way better why not offer 4 box sets a year (just an idea could be more/less) This would be way cooler than just something else for Record store day. Made to order type deal...this way the fans get what we want and no worries about investing in 10000 box sets that may not sell out. Id be all about it...anyone else?

With next year being the 50th anniversary of 1974 why not release the 2005 Grateful Dead Movie 5 cd Soundtrack as a vinyl box set? I’d also love to see the Ladies and Gentleman the Grateful Dead 4 cd box set come out on vinyl. Both would be big vinyl box sets but I’d dish out the cash for it. Both come from 16 track recordings and would sound excellent on vinyl and look great next to my other GD box sets

Have they released anything from Alaska?

Hasn’t been released or announced yet.

Is this ever going to be released on vinyl? Further, is there an optimal place to check for upcoming vinyl releases? Much thanks!

5-CD box set to span the all years, different band configurations: 1970/1980/1981/1994; hint hint nudge nudge...Alfred, Warfield, Radio City, San Mateo, BCT + any others you feel are appropriate thank you for listening
Peace All!

What a great idea,!

June/July 1985.

Dave was quite enthusiastic about summer 85 in his office chat, yet picked Frost for DaP49.
So hopefully he’s saving the summer shows for a Box.
6-27,28,30
7-1,2,13,14
Maybe a few more since some of them will fit on 2 CD’s.

Will make a great box. Betty boards. Has the swagger.
Cheers

and everyone loves 1974, so BOX ME UP!
let's start with the COMPLETE shows from IOWA & LOUISVILLE,
for a total 4 shows in the box, by adding of any of these 2 (oakland, atlanta, springfield)
would leave us with nothing left to do but SMILE

Peace All!

I would love to see the 1980 Warfield Theartre and Radio City Music Hall Acoustic & Electric shows as a box set. That would be amazing!

I think the Tower Theater shows from Upper Darby, PA in June of 1976 would make a killer box set! Whether it’s a box set or a Dave’s picks or whatever, I think they deserve an official GD release! Thanks!

Hey rockers!!!!

Next box? Early 1969. From the OSF reels. Will include Vegas from March and the Avalon run from early April. Unless they want to hold Vegas for single release and include the Ark shows instead. Or maybe the February Philly shows? Heck, make it a mega mega box!!!!!

I have no definite talent or trade, and how I stay alive is largely a matter of magic......

Doc
You must learn to be still in the midst of activity and to be vibrantly alive in repose......

That's it exactly Doc. Just whats needed for a 69 box, after the FW supernova, shows you note, Avalon, Ark, et al first half of the year represent the mature, fully flowered primal phase. Fortunate to have some as downloads, audio issues would resolve with a most welcome update by Norman and crew. Time to revisit FW early June series, been a while.

Gents! I think an interesting path for boxsets would be "Holiday Shows"...boxset of NYE shows across years...boxset of July 4th shows across years...

...SET of the BEST shows from JULY 2, 3, and 4th; named...what else...but...of course, US BLUES!

...during a recent 12 hour R/T drive with a bit of brain stimulation,...yup GOT more IDEAS lol, for BOXES, like in SETS of...

SOLDIER FIELD an easy 8-10 CD's

JUNE 28 could easily cover 8-10 SHOWS, 1967/1969/1976/1979/1983/1985/1987/1988/1991/1992

thnx :) for LISTENING!

I'd love to see a box of all the acoustic shows from 1970 and 1980, as well as the 1981 European acoustic shows.

I hope for a bits & pieces box set in the future from Fall 1966 to Fall 1970. Most of all bits & pieces from Fall 1967 to Spring 1969. Good mind expanding music.

Micke Östlund,
Växjö, Sweden

8/12-14/79 would make a lovely mini-box.
Affordable and concise.
You could make me and HF very happy.
Cheers
And as RYXS suggests add the Oakland shows before that and you have a 5 show box.

we slowly inch our way to the summer solstice...so too are we slowly inching our way to the joy or for some people the dysphoria of the 2024 box set announcement.

stay HAPPY!
uncle_tripel

PLEASE PLEASE DESIGN A BOX SET FOR MSG OVER HALLOWEEN. I THINK IT WAS 1980. I THINK IT WAS A 5 DAY RUN? INCLUDING EITHER 1 OR 2 ACOUSTIC SETS. UNCLE JOHNS BAND WAS AN ENCORE. I WILL PAY BIG DOLLARS FOR THIS. PLEASE DO THIS IN 2024.

There NEEDS to be an October 1974 Winterland complete box.

Yee

(and none of us are getting any younger ya know ;))) )

Hey rockers!!!

Top three of my "Box Set WIsh List":

Fillmore West February and April 1970 (from the banana boxes)
Texas Fall 1972
February 1973 (especially 2/15 and 2/19)

Well, one can always wish.............

Rock on my friends!

Doc
Been sending out shows all day........

FDoc.......

Your wishes jibe with my wishes........

For anyone who has the HCS box set, take a look at the "Producer's Note" section of the booklet. I found some of this worth a reread as we await this year's box:

"Every one of the boxed sets is a thrilling, 18-plus-month process... the ultimate goal is for Deadheads to acquire a beautifully packaged, sonically spectacular piece of the Dead's aural history..."

"...as I write this, in February 2023, I'm already deep into work on the concept and the music that will become the 2024 boxed set."

So there's not much else there to hang your hat on as far as what will be released this year, but it's still a pretty good window into how things work. One more tidbit for now:

"And a little-known fact: a few years ago, when we released the Pacific Northwest box set, we very nearly released these five shows [HCS box] instead. It came down to the wire."

Box set recap by year

HCS (2023) - '73
Garden (2022) - '81 '82 '83
River (2021) - '71 '72 '73
June '76 (2020) - '76
Giants (2019) - '87 '89 '91
PacNW (2018) - '73 '74
GStL (2017) - '77
July '78 (2016) - '78
30 Trips (2015) - all
Spring 1990 TOO (2014) - '90
May 1977 (2013) - '77
Spring 1990 (2012) - '90
Europe (2011) - '72
Winterland (2009) - '77
Winterland (2008) - '73
Fillmore West (2005) - '69

I've left out all the single-show releases and even the two-show mini boxes like Warlocks (2010), RFK Stadium (2017), etc. This was just meant to capture years represented by each of the annual big-budget box set releases. I also left off Grateful Dead Movie Soundtrack because it's so piecemeal; it feels more like a massive Road Trips-style box. But YMMV. Hopefully I didn't miss anything.

One thing to note: this still-hypothetical AK/HI box would fill in two gaps ('70 and '80). I'd also note there's been nothing from '69 released in nearly two years (since Dave's Vol 43) and given that the year 1969 now lies 55 years in the past, perhaps 1969 is (over)due for some love here in 2024...

Many of the road trip series releases, especially earlier on, were partial compilations. How about a series of boxes remastered with plangent called the complete road trips or similar. Would contain the complete shows from anything included in a compilation disc. So for example, the very first road trips, fall 1979, would yield : 10/25; 10/31; 11/6; 11/8; 11//9; 11/10. Could do one a year.

2 Boxes per year.
A 2-3 show Box, and a 5-8 show Box.

Pick up the pace Dave, we’re not getting any younger.

Yes, The complete 5 shows would make a great box set - even though we have some of it on The Grateful Dead Soundtrack 5-CD box set.

It seems that Southern California has gotten the short shrift. Yes, they released 2 UCLA shows and one Santa Barbara show, but the Dead played Hollywood Palladium and Hollywood Bowl, 13 times at The Shrine, 12 times at Long Beach Arena, 11 times at Ventura County Fairgrounds, 15 times at the Irvine Meadows Amphitheater, 3 times at the Universal Amphitheater, 7 times at the Forum in Los Angeles, Carson, and many others, not to mention 18 times in San Diego. How about a Southern California box set or two?

Pour one out for this ho(a)x set

Alaska should come out as a mini-Box though.

9-25, 26, 27-1981 Stabler Arena, War Memorial, Cap. Centre

10-18, 19, 20-1989 Spectrum

3-16, 17, 18-1993 Capital Centre

Roosevelt Stadium, Jersey City, NJ 1972 - 1976. These shows cry out for a box set!

2nd Choice June 1989 Shoreline shows.
6-18-89 - Brent is hammered, i am in the front row....good show
6-19-89 - Best show of the run, maybe the month, every song is outstanding
6/21-89 - Sumer Solistice show.

Yes

Release this on vinyl please! What an awesome pair of shows, early Brent-era GD firing on all pistons.

Y'all knew it was good enough to release highlights on a video - now let's do this series of shows justice and do a 3-part release.

Let's be honest here, we need more fire Brent-era shows on vinyl.
