Our friends the Rhinos have various and sundry new releases in the development process, but they're always interested in hearing what you'd like to see hit the virtual shelves of the Store. No promises, but you never know...

This topic is for requesting new individual shows. There are also topics for box sets and DVDs.

If you've already requested something in the previous Requests topic, you don't really need to request it again, but hey, if you just can't help yourself...

More 1973, por favor

Listening to Omaha 10/21/1973 for the first time: another jewel in the haystack of excellent shows. Although it's a soundboard, the audience is quite apparent. Killer Here Comes Sunshine followed by a comical start to Beat It on Down the Line. Thanks to gdradio.net for the listening opportunity.

9/24/76 William And Mary College

This is my first post/request. Please consider releasing this show. This was one of the first 10 tapes I owned and I still love this show. This show would be perfect as there is only one audience copy on Archive.org the last time I looked. The Playin>Supplication > Playin rocks the house. Thanks for the chance to add my suggestion on a new release.

Milwaukee 10/23/72

I chased the previous inquiry around and found a Charlie Miller tweaked audience recording on both the LMA and bt.eTree. I saw the Dead twice in Oct '72, and both shows were grate. I enjoyed a few 1973 shows just a little more.

I just watched the closing of Fillmore West again and like it well enoguh, but the Jerry noodling on pedal and the two Dead tunes are why I watch it. Also, I've listened to the show a couple times this summer (met it some 30 years ago) and have been reminded what an intense experience it still is!Granted there is some 1st set out of tuneage, but it was temporary and, after nearly reducing their molars to rubble, they come together nicely and blow some San Franciscan minds. It would make a great package w/ CD's and a DVD (surely there's more footage). You could do it for Owsley, too. " Steal Your Jazz "

23rd October - Milwaukee PAC

I don't even think there is a soundboard recording of this but if there is I would like to hear it. A friend got tickets to this and the 10/24/72 shows with the idea of finding a date to go with him. He was unsuccessful. So he offered me a ticket. I declined saying The Dead weren't that good, they couldn't sing, etc. He kept pressuring me so I went. I was so stupid before the show. It was the best concert I ever saw, over four hours long. I was amazed. I was getting tired just watching the show and the band was still up there working their butts off. I've been a Dead fan ever since. This concert is my fondest memory from my youth. I also saw them twice at the Coliseum in Madison, WI but didn't enjoy them so much there because it a lousy place for concerts. It was designed for sporting events.

Some great suggestions.

I know that certain years get no respect, so here's a few respectable shows. 7.23.1994 Take out Samba in the Rain, and you have a confident, adventurous, well developed program. Add the pre-drums of the following night, and you've got magic. Really, this is surprisingly good for any era, in my opinion. 9.22.93 The band really took flight here. Vince had shows where he really understood. Had communication been better behind the scenes, I'm sure he would have understood a whole lot more. 12.30.89 Remove the flubbed Music, add first set highlights from 12.27.89, and the entire pre-drums as bonus.... some spectacular and unique music there. Don't forget the Iko with Clarence. Raw and off the hook! Overall, 7.2.89 was the superior show for most of that summer. Tore that Wang Dang Doodle a new one. Purely original! I like the choice for the new Road Trips, Denver'73. Very cool.

Re: Garcia's Wake... (reply to a 11/2011 post)

S, I have it all on a box set if interested. It's been 4 years since you posted the request...so you may have it or it may already have been released. Hit me back if you still are interested. GarchiaPet

Frost

Just missed The Frost. Heard it was a very cool place to experience a Grateful Dead show. Similar to The Greek. Caught one of the last Greek shows 89'

Daves picks DEERCREEK

Would love a DEERCREEK release. Only missed one run in nine years. Please.

7-13-81 Denver

81 Scar/Fire

Want to hear another great Scar/Fire from 81? MSG 3/10/81 I hope for a 3/9 & 3/10/81 2-show release as this was one HOT visit to NYC ! The energy from the stage had clearly spread to the floor... iGrateful

5-19-1974 Portland Memorial Coliseum, Portland, OR

Portland is my favorite city, and has been home for 10 years now. I am very interested in The Dead's history of playing here. I bought the digital download of a show which I think was in '68 or '69 in Portland, but would like to know of more shows here and listen to them. This show also looks like it had a good setlist. No idea how the playing was that night, however. If it's good quality, would make for an excellent Dave's Picks.

Hope Dave's Picks Will Remember the 80's and 90's Happened

Dave's Picks has been an almost exclusively 1970's series (albeit with a toe dips into 1969 and 1980). Hope this is not heresy but I have kind of had enough. '72 and '77 WERE REALLY GOOD. Check! Got it. The Spring of 1990 was definitely not the only great latter day period. I hope to see some of the great 80's and 90's stuff next year. Thanks.

The Last Ones

How about 'The Last Ones', Winterland October 1974 box set? All shows, complete, CD and DVD/BluRay.Also, time to release 6-14-76 and 6-29-76 on HDCD.

Individual shows

4/1/91 with the Playing from 3/31/91 as filler seeing how the Samson>Eyes is on the 9/25/91 Dick's Picks. 7/2/88 because 7/3/88 is in the box.

'68 through '69

maybe on the whole the sound quality isn't as fine as on many of the early 70s tapes, but the music...oooooh, the music of those days! transcendence. here's hoping for some of the early greats on future remasters. 10/12/68 at the avalon ballroom maybe?

Dec 1971

Love the whole Oct-Dec 71 tour. Would particularly like to see one of the shows from December, where both Keith is nice and prominent in the mix (his piano playing on this tour was awesome), and Pigpen is back with the band as well. Particularly 12/04, 12/05 or 12/15.

80s!!!

80 and 81 i always considered strong years,

YES!!!!!

1987

Something from 1987. Listening to https://archive.org/details/gd87-03-31.fm.miller.21267.sbeok.shnf right now and it sounds damn well on so far...

Utica Memorial Auditorium 3/21/73 & 3/22/73

These shows were excellent. A few weeks after the death of Pig, the set lists were strong and the playing was typical of the spring 73' sound. A lot of Wake material and some beautiful Dark Stars. Dave's Picks 16 was 1 week after these gems. Would really love to see 1 or both shows slated for a release.3/21 has a setlist to rival any other and the Dark Star > Eyes was phenomenal. Any thoughts? Anyone delve into or have experiences with these nights?

Honolulu 1970 Again!

Release was too limited. (Sold out before release day.) How about a hi-res digital download possibility? Thanks.

10/29/77 NIU

Please release this, you Might As Well! Great fall '77 show.

like to see...

I'd be very into a boxed set of Warfield and/or Radio City 1980

Yes! It would be nice to have

Yes! It would be nice to have both shows!

Buckeye Lake 6.11.93

Sweet summer outdoor show.

new Years 72

I'd like to se 12-31-1972 if the reels are in good shape. Not only is this the day I was born but after checking up I was born during the Other One to be exact. Ha...born under a good sign eh? Thanks Ma.

July 13, 1981 - McNichols - Denver Pleazzzz!!

After getting the Scarlet-Fire download from Cornell I had to listen to the 81 Denver again and please please please. I was my girl friends first show and she became a lifelong deadhead.

3-6-81 Stanley Theatre, Pittsburgh

The first set is very good, the second set is spectacular: Samson and Delilah It Must Have Been the Roses Estimated Prophet Franklin's Tower drums The Other One Stella Blue Sugar Magnolia This Stella Blue is my all-time favorite. It is diaphanous in the literal sense of being light, delicate and translucent. It takes a while for Jerry to solo his way out of a really powerful TOO (featuring a few Phil bombs) and transition into SB with a few clunkers on the way, but they only make it all the more wondrous when he finally gets there so plaintive it sends shivers up my spine. Even if you don't release it, give it a listen. You'll be glad you did. Why not do a Stanley Theatre box of 11-30-79, 12-01-79, 3-5-81 and 3-6-81? I can personally attest to their exceptional quality 'cause I was there for three of 'em and I've got a pristine 12-01-79 on cassette.

1978 Road Trips style releases

For Jan. '78, Nov. and Dec '78. All contain segments of quite fantastic and unique playing. See: 1-13-78 Dancin' thru Wharf Rat, 1-15-78 Terrapin>Playing in the Band. I have to delve deeper into November, but Dave has played cool examples on JOTW and Taper's (11-18). As for December, I really like the run from 12-12 thru 12-19. Not sure what kind of board sources exist for some of these tapes, as 1-15 and 12-16 I have only seen as audience tapes I think.

Unheard shows

I'd really be curious to know if there's anything left in the Vault that isn't available - even in low quality - online (legally). Are there hidden shows from '66, for instance? Or do we basically know all that was recorded and are now waiting for official releases so that we get high(er) quality versions of shows we may already own?

Dave - More 80s shows

Hey Dave, we ran some analytics on GD releases, where are the 80's??!! Check out posts http://www.eightiesgratefuldead.com/ Tell us what you think, what are your favorite 80s shows, and come together to celebrate a rockin decade.

Bloomington Mn

Either 88 or 89 would be fine with me.I personally only saw 6 or 8 shows in the 80s. All were really good except Minneapolis 1986 in metrodome. PS..interesting analysis in your link. Marketers might say the 70s are over penetrated, economists might just point to demand-driven availability.

criteria for releases

Seems like it should fall around the following: 1. Is there a complete, high-quality version in the vault? 2. Does the show already circulate in high quality? 3. Was there something exceptional about the show compared to others in the same time period? 4. Has this time period already been well represented in the stream of releases, or is it lacking? Certainly some time periods will merit a larger number of releases. 5. From a sales standpoint, is there a perceived desire for a particular release? This one gets rather subjective.

Later Show

I wish they would release a few shows from 94/95. At the very least a 3 disc compilation from the last year of the band.

gypsydog

94 and 95 were included in 30 Trips.Some people broke up the box and sold the shows individually. Supposedly the late 90’s were the worst sellers. So, you may be able to find those shows on eBay or elsewhere for a good price. But, what about Gainesville?

6/3/76 Portland

Would be wonderful in exceptional quality. Pacific Northwest Box is my favorite - exceptional shows and audio quality.

it appears

to have worked...

Dave's Picks

I'd like to see virtual versions of Dave's Picks ,for instance release the 2017 Dave's Picks virtual this year (say at Christmas time) then release 2018 disc around Christmas 2019 or a year after the cd's so people that have subscriptions and or buy the actual disc have exclusivity for a year, starting with the 1st year of course :)

12/6/73

12/6/73 Cleveland..cruel that the only way to get this is to buy the bonus cd from 2011 road trips for hundreds of dollars..This must be released in full :)

How about UC Santa Barbara…

How about UC Santa Barbara from 1974!!! Whoo hoo! Great Wall of Sound show! Very hot! Kind of country and laid back, but hot as hell!

3-9-81

Normanized

All 80's

85 to 86 were my favourite

Show I wanna see on cds

Sacramento 1-17-78 and Stockton 1-18-78
Sacramento 6-29-79 and Sacramento 6-9 and 6-10 84

RFK Stadium 6/10/73

I don't understand why they didn't realease "June '73" instead of "Pacific Northwest '73-'74". RFK 6/9-10/73 along with the West Coast shows starting in Vancouver on the 22. Would have been much mo betta.

Second Half of 1970

Having grown up taping shows in California in the early 70s, it has struck me for a long time how empty the discography is (Dick's & Dave's Picks, and other releases) for the second half of 1970. Nothing after 5/15/70. And this has some of the most amazing music the Dead played.

Yes, I know that many legendary shows (ex. Capitol Theater, Rochester, etc) only exist in audience, but there are a lot of soundboards - at least of which are complete. Others could be put together for a release - ex. 9/18,19,20/1970...
We have other stretches of time with many releases (spring 77) and they are good ones, but this key era in the Dead's musical history is sadly missing big time.

Top 3 Dave's dreams

11/19/72 Hofheinz round 2, with Dark Star with Philo Stomp. If not slated for possible inclusion in a box, would love to see this be DaP 33.

2/9/73, how has this not been released?

8/4/76, see previous note. Really wanna see this be the next 1976 release. An amazing performance that is hotter than most of the more laid back June and July shows. The Help Slip Frank is an all timer, up there with Buffalo for sure. The existing recordings have the best Phil sound I think I've ever heard, and he has an amazing night thundering along.
