    This would be a great release as mentioned above remixed and remastered using the multitrack tapes. Maybe even this whole Shoreline run.

    I'd love to see anything from 87' to Brents last show as it was arguably the GD's peak era. Plus there is vid available in excellent quality! Shoreline surely!!! All those feeds that were on the house screens must be workable! Lotsa love! J Are you kind?

    The bevy of high quality summer 89/90. Was an apex for the band, and the video/audio is top level quality, so why not dare I ask?And whatever is left of Winterland Closing 74 (if anything) And the reels of Festival Express Trip. And whatever else of high quality is available. Not picky, would just like "many and often"!!!! “The Omnipotent Grateful Dead!”

    well, the top of my list would be more stuff from the 70's. the complete 4/17/72 would be amazing. herouville '71 could be made into a nice release. 8/27/72. stuff like that. but... since it is more likely that rhino has access to 80's/90's video, i'll second 7/7/89 as a great example of later day dead. this era is already well represented in video but 89/90 was just a really strong period for the band. keep it coming.

    A few thoughts on DVD's
    First off, I own every officially released DVD and lots more that our intrepid friends have produced personally. I have been desperately waiting for a new DVD ever since the re-release of Dead Ahead. I know there is some killer stuff available, because I have a fair amount of it in un-official release. Some ones that quickly jump to mind are the Summer Solstice show with Clarence Clemons and the Germany '81 show. I would really like to see Deer Creek '93 third night (dark star > the wheel) and 5-6-90 (just a killer show). Merriweather Post '85 would be a really stellar pick as 6-30 may be one of the best shows ever. In general, I would appreciate it if some wide angle shots were incorporated into the videos. I know that most of the vids are taken from the screen caps at the venues, which are all close ups, but I experienced the dead most from a distance, with the full light show. The videos that are available, even most of the un-official ones, are all close up shots. Candice did such a brilliant job and her work is almost entirely missing from the video releases. This is a shame, and frankly, leaves me longing for more when I sit down and watch the videos. Just a bit of venting. Frankly, I would be really happy if you would just release some more videos, is one every 6 months too much to ask? - a very happy deadhead

    ...I note in passing that I have no knowledge of any actual extant film or plans to do anything with it, and that watching the film again leads to a lively appreciation of the veritable morass of rights issues probably involved. Bigger than a drive-in movie, oowee. Anything I'm saying is from pure wishful thinking. That said, though, holy moly. And thank God for freeze frame.

    Since I think there was a fairly diligent search at the time the movie was being made, and this is all they came up with. So they may just be irretrievably gone. But (knowing nothing of Canadian TV), I do wonder if there isn't some logical venue to broadcast the word that people are looking for this stuff and willing to pay. And probably not ask too many searching questions about provenance. I expect there may be some murky rights issues, and on the other hand some of them may be moot after 35 years.

You're sitting on a goldmine of extraordinary 70's footage of the Dead at their peak. Full shows, professionally shot. Durham, NC 1978, Passaic, NJ 77 & 78, Copenhagen, Denmark 72... The list goes on and on. Not to mention the full shows shot on 16mm with multitrack audio recordings filmed for the Grateful Dead movie which should be released in their entirety; either one show at a time or a box set of the full run on DVD/Blu-ray. I don't know any Deadhead who would not salivate wildly to own these full shows. Especially in the best available quality with a great sound mix. This would make Rhino incredibly popular, bring in tons of money and bring wide smiles to most everyone in the DeadHead community. It's a win-win. Thanks, Hal

Sunshine Daydream (obviously) and of course that guy on the pole is not naked; shirtless yes, naked no. Bundled with the CD's of the whole show. So Far Backstage Pass All GD Videos. Is there even a place to get an officially released DVD version of Touch of Grey? I know it's on Dead Ringers-The Making of the Touch of Grey Video And More. If not...typical GD. Their biggest hit and video and you can't even buy it if you want it. What about Little Light and Foolish Heart? Am I missing any other official videos? Just saw Hell In A Bucket on the Deluxe Scrapbook bonus DVD (which was great...thanks!) A little pricey but well worth it. Likewise, I wouldn't want to buy the scrapbook without the DVD (although it's very well written and presented). But anyway... How much usable GD outtakes are there from Festival Express? Playboy After Dark would make a nice bonus on a DVD as filler. I could go on and on about live 70's and 80's pro shot stuff. Again, the 12/27/83 Scarlet>Fire on the Scrapbook bonus disc was Great! More of that would be super.

Well, I posted this in the wrong thread - so apologies for the re-post: Is any of the video vault shot in HD or suitable for conversion to HD/Blu-Ray? I'm watching Ticket to New Year's now as I normally do this time of year, and as with some of the other DVD's it is pretty blurry when not displaying close-up shots (especially on an HD TV). I would probably upgrade to Blu-Ray on the DVD's I have and would be interested in new Blu-Ray releases more so than new DVD releases. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * -enjoyin' the ride -There'll never be another Jerry

You go to the store and click on DVD and all that's listed is the last days of the fillmore. No view from the vault, truckin' off to buffalo, GD movie, NOTHING !!!!!!!!!!! What's up there !!?!?! If all the DVD's are getting the once over and re-released I hope they re-release "A Ticket To Noew Years" with "The Promised Land" back in there. Why did they ever cut it out in the first place. And what about all the fun stuff for the pay-per-view audience that night? "Ask The Band" MR. Spock mind melding with santa clause ("Drum Solo Almost Over ") all the interviews.

Black Muddy River was only released on "In the Dark"?? I can't find a live recording of it.Such a staple for many years, an encore I always looked forward to. I would love to obtain a live digital recording. My favorite song! I performed it around the campfire at the camp I worked at in Upstate NY the weekend after Jerry died. Many of the campers joined in singing ...Roll Muddy River... mim

This was really the last of the old time new years shows, the Oakland auditorium, 4 sets, and an out of nowhere Dark Star. I do remember video screens and cameras that night. The playing throughout the night is unbelievable, check the tapes. The Joan Baez stuff is not the best but Jerry is there! Sunshine Daydream I saw Denis McNally talk at an event for his book several years ago and he said that Sunshine Daydream had just been remastered for release and that the sound problems that hurt the original tapes were corrected digitally. What Happened? There should be a box set with the entire Winterland 74 run - EVERYTHING shot for the movie should be on my shelf!

There are hardly any DVDs at the store and on Amazon they are way to high$. Will the out of print DVDs be released and when? Does anybody know the answer to this? Also no download series?

None of us are getting older. It seems to me there's so much stuff to choose from, I don't understand why it takes so long to get the next DVD out. I love playing these DVDs with my kids and dancing around the living room. But there's so little in video that's been released and I know there's a ton out there. At this point I'll take a cup of cold coffee or a blue sun or a three piece band on the corner playing nearer my God to thee......

An official DVD of Aug 27, 1972 would sell like dime beers. WTF? It's the same lack of logic on GD management's part that has kept so many requested, good quality recordings and videos inside the vault instead of in the hands of Dead Head consumers. Bootleg recordings (even Cornell '77 for example) fail in comparison to what a high quality official release would sound (and look) like. Choosy mothers choose to buy good, quality recordings of the Dead even if they already own a good bootleg or an old official VHS of the same show.

The complete shows on blue ray and cleaned up and including the complete between set sketches and and crowd footage uncut. They are way overdue. Better yet, how about a NYE blue ray box set containg all of the visually recorded shows featuring the 80's, '90 and 91.

Hello--As I watch my VHS tapes slowly oxidize, I'm wondering if we'll ever see the re-release of Downhill From Here (perhaps expanded?) or Ticket To New Year's? Used copies are going for too much ($30-50) on Amazon and E-Bay, so it would be lovely to see these re-released.Thanks!

Jerry was in pretty bad shape at that time, for example Cal-Expo '94 was just plain awful. I guess it was too hot for him at that time, somewhere around 100F as I recall, and his playing suffered. It was so sad to see him that way. RIP Jerry, and thank you for all you gave us.

I have longed for a Blu-Ray or DVD version of "So Far." In my experience it's the only film made that captures the time distortion and texture of an actual psychedelic experience -- and does so convincingly even for unimpaired minds. Now that's a good trick and it deserves archival preservation for future generations. Besides that, the footage is beautiful, imaginative, and trippy and the music can't be beat. I think this masterpiece deserves a major revival since it could easily be the highest quality project with which the Dead have ever been associated. Azulstar

Just release anything!!!! We will buy whatever you put out there!!!!! More of winterland 74, or how about veneta 72, or any europe 72 you have (you can tie it in with the big box set music release), or make it easy on yourselves, put So Far on dvd, or how about any of the shows from the 90's you have on video in the vault that were up on the big screens? Brent's last show? Any of the new years eve shows that were broadcast on pay-per-view cable tv (which seems to be most of the 80's? Halloween 1980? Summer Solstice 89? The final show? Anything!!! To save on money for yourselves, how about just releasing it on this website as a purchase for download, kind of like iTunes or your digital download series. Then you don't have to cover the cost of dvd booklets and cases. Or at least put some up for us to stream from the site to see!

Please release "Sunshine Daydream"! I'm sure the folks at Rhino as well as the band members themselves realize that this show is THE one that more people want to see officially released, in theaters and on DVD, than any other. There is tons of pro-shot footage of the whole show from at least 4 different angles, there are soundboard recordings, film crew audio recordings, nothing is missing to make this a reality except for somebody's permission. I would love to see a no-bullshit real explanation as to why this has not happened yet. Everybody has theories and there are little bits of "Bob said this or that" floating all around but I have never seen the issue addressed head-on. And we all know this wasn't just "a show". This was a historic cultural event, fully documented, kept under lock and key. And all the while the filmstock slowly succumbs to the chemical vagaries of time. A damn shame, a real damn shame.

Hey Everyone, I really appreciate all of the releases and understand that DVD's are more difficult to bring to market. However, We're not getting any younger and there is so much music already out there on CD. Can't you focus on getting some big runs of shows on Blu Ray? You know, Like the Warlock shows at Hampton in '89, etc. So let's hurry up and get it out here! OK, ready, Break! Thanks, Scot

I'll keep this short and simple, I would love a release of the Sunshine Daydream movie along with a CD release of the entire show. You know it is one of the all time best, so please I'm almost 64 years old and I would like to be able to buy this before I become too senile to remember why.
