Grateful Dead

Why isn't all of them available on Dead.net? I guess Phish have passed you guys in the media dept. too!!! ever been to livephish.com. it makes this place look like aol mail. what a joke!

Dicks Picks Vol. 1 is gone from Dead.net store...

Dicks Picks Vol. 1 CD is gone from Dead.net store...

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.

To all the friends who gave me advices about Denver '73 and '72 releases (I already have Rhein , Hundred Year and others, and I personally would recommend 'em to..everybody, so thanks the same!)....thank you, I have stuff to work on, now.That's why I love this place..it's kind of a family!

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.

Also noticing that Hundred year Hall is OOP as well.....

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.

I wonder what retail stores still sell CD's? Borders was the only I knew and that is gone. I would like to get #35.

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.

From the wonderful Grateful Dead Song Finder site http://www.whitegum.com/intro.htm Date Album studio 1970 American Beauty (note 1) 28 Feb 1973 Dick's Picks Vol 28 7 Jul 1989 Crimson, White and Indigo (DVD & CD) 19 Jul 1989 Fallout From The Phil Zone 19 Mar 1990 Searching For The Sound (note 2) 12 Jul 1990 View From The Vault II (DVD only) 26 May 1993 Road Trips Vol 2, No 4 9 Jul 1995 Searching For The Sound (note 2) I'd go for Dicks Picks 28 every time, but that's just me.

These are posted on Amazon for pre-order, and they're not cheep. DP34 (3cds) $40. and DP35 & 36 (4cds each) $48. Glad I bought these in 2005 from GDM. http://www.realgonemusic.com/ November 15 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

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).

So, how does realgone music work? I went to their site and and got nothing about how to actually get the discs. Is it all through Amazon?

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.

Looks like the price of the upcoming real gone reissue of DP 32 has dropped in price a few dollars to about $32. Scheduled for end of January.

Im missing a few Dicks Picks which are no longer on the GD Store. Does anyone know if there are plans to re-release any of the Dicks Picks that are currently sold out? Im not paying $80 for a an ebay Dicks Picks!Thanks.

Realgone to re-release DPs 32 & 33 on Jan.24,2012. I'm sure price will be up there as were the three (34,35 &36) re-released in Nov. http://www.realgonemusic.com/

C'mon guys it's time. Here's my setlist:Help>Slip>Franklin's 5-26-95 Picasso Moon 3-27-95 Sugaree 3-27-95 Morning Dew 3-26-95 Althea 6-3-95 Brown Eyed Women 6-3-95 It's All Over Now 7-2-95 Desolation Row 7-2-95 Scarlet>Fire 5-26-95 Shakedown Street 5-29-95 Days Between 12-19-94 P.S. 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.

the cd is totally blank, both sides. just checked. the cardboard sleeve is white with the 8 songs listed on one side and a pic of phil on the other... btw, happy birthday phil!

Thanks for that. It kind of freaked me out at first. Cool.

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,

What happened to the download option for Dick's Picks? I don't see them in the store. Thanks.

The best place to get them is here, much more reliable than this place. http://www.livedownloads.com/live-music/3,461/Grateful-Dead-mp3-flac-do…

Much appreciated....

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!

25 is a classic. get it for sure. good luck finding these.

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?)

When I bought The Vault box set, all three of them were in HDCD.

Mark Pincus announced today live from GOTV at Bridgeport, CT on The GD Channel / Sirius Radio that a new GD box set will be anounced on Jerrys Birthday.

anyone know why the spring 1990 box has an Indian theme?

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...
