Seth must have missed out on the precursor to Dave's Picks, the yearlong series where the spouse ships out in February followed by a limited edition baby in May, August and November. Subscribers also received a bonus family pet that shipped with the first child.

Seth, go with the box; if you really needed a wife and child, Rhino and GDP would've sold them to you years ago! ;)

I reviewed my LMA MP3 derived set of the complete Dead sets from 5/15/70 and can't find the Pigpen rant I have been angry about GDM removing during the Road Trips editing! I must have imagined it years before. It was so firmly entrenched in my mind that I never discovered it WASN'T THERE until you're disbelief made me check in with reality! Well, I am still right and accurate with any other comments I make. Everyone forget about this regrettable incident. My credibility is totally blown... Got a lot of hateful thoughts towards GDM to make up for. Maybe buying this box will balance the scales? There's a $700 see-saw rocking in my head, me on one seat, my wife and baby on the other. When will the see-saw settle to one side? Which side will it be?

Paul Kantner was back with the Starship last night at the San Mateo County Fair, after recovering from a heart attack last March. He sounded pretty good too; great seeing him as well as David Freiberg who still sounds fantastic at 77. Fantastic version of Codeine!

....some fans have stated there is nothing "new" in this box. My opinion is as thus. If I haven't heard it yet, then any given show is "new" to me, and that's all that counts....this box is for me, not anybody else. Don't mean to sound presumptuous, but that's my take. Do with it what you will. ....as far as packaging, this release is gonna be pretty big and heavy. I fear the discs might be packaged ala Road Trips style. I hope I'm wrong....

Thanks for the offer to send it from Vegas Baby!!! I'll look at Stop & Shop on my way home from work and if I can't get it there, will order via Amazon. If no luck on either of those fronts, you'll be hearing from me Vguy... Thanks for the help!!!

Here in Connecticut I found many copies in my local Stop & Shop supermarket. I believe they're in the Boston area too.

IMHO -- -- This box set strikes me as a pretty opportunistic venture by GDM. Talk about "sticker shock." Wow. And, after 36 editions of Dicks Picks, another 12(?) of Dave's Picks, the "So Glad You Made It," and "May '77" box sets, not to mention "Road Trips" and various exceptional -- and some not so hot -- single disk releases, I couldn't honestly even think about plowing more $$$ into another "epic" box release. I'm a deadhead, and I can find reasons to appreciate even some of the "lamer" shows and tours, but I can't see plunking down so much mooola for stuff that, basically, has been duplicated many times on other GD releases. Do I really need another '77 show? Or another '84 show? '93? No.

Single shows for $50? Nice; copy the discs before you sell them and make ~$750 profit.Why did't I think of it?
