Grateful Dead

5/21/83 - Greek Theatre, UC Berkeley, Berkeley, CA. Listen once. You’ll get it.

Sorry, I did this wrong earlier, posted as a comment to someone else's request rather than a new post. So: the point is that 1972.10.18 Fox Theater St. Louis is one of the finest shows from the finest tour of the finest year. I'd love to hear your magicians clean it up and release it in it's entirety!

The one show I would MOST like to see released in the Dave's Picks series is the incredible 1972.10.18 Fox Theater St. Louis show. The Playin > Dark Star > Morning Dew > Playin is simply mind blowing. This is also the first time the Dead split up Playin. They wouldn't do it again until over a year later on 10/21/73. Pretty please?

As much as I love Three From the Vault, I have always been disappointed that the entire 5-show run from the Capitol Theater in February 1971 wasn't released as a box set. (Perhaps just cheekily skipping 3 and 4 and called Five From the Vault, haha.) After all, they were all recorded on multitracks.

I suppose that with Three From the Vault, it's too late for a boxed set of all five shows, but at the very least, the multitracks from 1971-02-18 should be mixed down and released. First Bertha. That Dark Star > [first] Wharf Rat > Dark Star > Me & My Uncle. A great, great show, with Ned Lagin and his magical tinkling clavichord and the last we'd see/hear from Mickey for five years.

This is such a no-brainer.

Gosh, I have quite a few. 2/17/79 Kieth & Donna's last show, great from start to finish. 7/13/76 great Orpheum show. 12/28/83 killer show at the S.F. Civic. 4/28/85 Frost a real knockout. Last but not least my first, 6/17/75 please try and find it. Sorry for being so long winded. Thank You for all the fantastic shows you guys put out.

It's always been a mystery to me why this show has never seen an official release. Nine out of ten heads agree that this and Hollywood Palladium (unfortunately released in two separate dribs with the drabs never released) were the top shows in that great summer tour.

Oct 31, 1971 Ohio theater - Dicks Picks 2 -- release the complete show.
Release the complete shows from Dicks 12 as well!

Otherwise, how about Hollywood Palladium 8/6/71? or Mershon Auditorium, Columbus Ohio 1976?

There exists a fine Betty Board of this show, and the China Cat Sunflower > I Know You Rider has already been remastered for the Long Strange Trip soundtrack. It's a fine 21-song show held to 300 villagers in the French countryside. Plus, there is a very solid quality video to go along with it. At the very least, the best of the show could be snuck onto a bonus disc! I mean, it is a great show altogether, but I'd be satisfied w/ the hits being remastered. Plus, it is one of the last shows with the original 5, of course after Mickey left and before Keith joined.

The most recent Dave's is from Dekalb '77. There have been pristine SBD's of this show floating around for decades and it was heavily traded when I followed in the 80's-90's. Why does GDM keep releasing shows many long term heads already have in fantastic sounding quality? It's not too hard to find this show or Cornell.

How about the 10-10-82 Frost Amphitheater show? Also 4-4-85 from Providence is a spectacular show.
