Could there be tape releases?Wow, would that be fun!
Maybe a tape and CD combo too.
But def the option to get just the tape.
Sometimes?
It's who we were or are- kinda.
Then some are to be reproducible
and some are not.
Just wondering...
Home on the Range
There were some epic shows in the Midwest, at least to us flatlanders that never got to go to the coasts or the mountains: Des Moines Fairgrounds in 73 & 74, one in Wichita KS, Mississippi River Festival in the 80's, a 4th of July at Sandstone in KC, OKC, a couple in Nebraska, and many other great gigs in St. Louis and KC. Phil handed me a Heinken during a sound check at the University of Iowa in the old basketball gym in 72 or 73. Some have been released, at least in part... Any chance we might get some more of these, even a 'Home on the Range' package?
Jerry~Candyman
In one particular instance of Candyman, Jerry sang, "if I had a shotgun, I would PROBABLY blow you straight to hell". What show was it and was it the only time he did it? Also, was it due to lack of commitment re the killing or was it just a freak occurance? Short: what's with the Probably?
Can we ask
DL why the hell deadheads can't have access to the vault index. Not condition or anything, just what, exactly, is there?
more dvds!
what about some new dvds from my favourite band this year?
Video
Videos from the 60's and 70's. There are a lot of bootleg copies of professionally shot shows out there. Many you probably don't have the rights to, but others like Durham, NC 1978 and all the Capital Theater, Passaic, NJ shows and, most especially, the full show videos popping up on Wolfgang's Vault (New Year's run 1977, New Year's run 1980...)... I assume you folks could be releasing beautiful transfers of these with lossless sound mixes (on Blu-ray). Either as separate releases or as a CD/DVD/Blu-ray package. Are there any plans for these? And if not, how can we inspire you to release this priceless footage of full shows from the Grateful Dead's peak era?

It was great hanging with ya, Dave.I should send ya a picture so you
can see me too. Oh well, Maybe a link
to one. Great job tonight!
Did I miss my question getting answered?
Lord knows I pushed it in there.
Keep the love and the roses they matter
more than a tape release.
Well done
Very enjoyable, a nice experience that exceeded my expectations. The stories, such as the Bear one, were really cool. The hour flew by. Awesome that it was available immediately after the live stream. Would love a hint on the next box set if this is done again. Although I don't expect any serious live Jerry releases any time soon, keeping everyone's hopes up would be some consolation.Thanks
Can we view it?
Is there any way to view the transcript of the chat? Surely it's saved somewhere?
furthur releases
just couldn´t follow the live chat, so asking here:where there some hints on forthcoming new Pure Jerrys or Box sets or DVDs or other releases;
the next Dave´s Picks is really from 1974?
would like to read the chat somewhere too!
Nice Chat...
...well done, Dave. Excited about the first two Dave's Picks. Glad I subscribed. So, will "Seastones" be included with Dave's Pick Two? Here's hoping it will be!
re: furthur releases
I didn't catch anything on the Pury Jerry front. However, Dave did mention a 14 disc box set rerelease of all the video material released thus far. He seemed especially keen on the 'So Far' release with 'Backstage Pass' as a bonus feature. He mentioned that a ton of good video is in the vault, but much of it is from the unusable (Dave's sentiment) years of '94-'95. And yes, the next DaP will be complete show Hartford 7-31-74. There will be a bonus disc with the release but it hasn't yet been determined the contents - - he mentioned the contents could be culled from the '74 Pacific Northwest tour. The decision should be made by February according to what I heard. I'm hoping the 5-25 Santa Barbara show remains untapped so that it can be released in its entirety someday. I'm not sure if DaP 2 will include Phil and Ned or not. Dave also mentioned that the entire chat will be archived and available on Dead.net.
thanks Dave
in response to your question, yes please do it again. Lots of interesting info and insights there and you covered a lot of ground. Am really excited about Dave's Picks 2. Bit disappointed that there is no new video on the near horizon and that they are just going to recycle what is there already (with some bonus material of course to make us buy it all again!). Still if there was nothing to complain about we would be complaining about that.
Folks, you can still watch the chat on

Vault Index to be released?
Did DL mention about why or why not a vault index would or would not be released for Deadheads? I don't believe Archive and E-T have everything in the vault.
Just that it would be useful to know what to buy, considering what I already have.
Europe 72
Does anyone know which show from Copenhagen in 72 was considered better?I heard David Lemieux talk on GD radio--he felt one of these shows was considered the best show from the Europe 72 tour.
4/14/72 or 4/17/72
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Next DVD Box Set
A great DVD box set would be the 5 nights (10/16/1974 to 10/20/1974) that made up the "Grateful Dead Movie"! Great Music, Great Sound System and what a fun time for the band!
Thanks

Releases of music/Dave's Picks
Is it me or are we basically seeing snapshot shows from roughly the same years? There are so many better ways to go. We all have our favorites, and just adding my ideas just in case David is reading.
1- uh, review Dick's and Dave's Picks as well as Road Trips...boy seeing much acoustic are you? Nice boxed set idea: '80 Radio City Run juxtaposed with SF/Warfield electric. Now that would be hot.
2- individual, historical and amazing? The only time GD played Alaska was in 1980 at High Auditorium. I have the bootleg CD and it is priceless right from Alabama through Estimated, Black Peter and Around and Around. This, my friends, is high quality!
3- Shakedown from Hartford: 1982. I defy you to find a better live Shakedown anywhere.
4- Lastly, and true to my desires, let's get some more acoustic shows from the '70s.
Thanks for reading,
Puff

Re: 15 October 1976 Shrine Aud. LA
To Dave Lemieux -
The epic show at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles CA, 15 October 1976 - Did the missing last reel of the second set ever surface?
Happy New Year!
