Grateful Dead

Oh, to have a whole lotta expendable cash.

GD

To be responsible or not to be responsible

That is the question

You got it!
How fast will 6000 copies sell out?
Cheers
And it has 8-12-79 for Hendrixfreak!
(and all the rest of us who were there)

That's a big gulp!

Like forbidden fruit I bit,,,, ok two bites, records and cds!

Now to tell she who must be obeyed.

IBM middle management axion - Easier to seek forgiveness than to ask permission.

for 600 bucks, how about some pictures of the damn thing :-)

Already started building that special shelf for this baby!

.... than Europe 72? That was 22 shows on 73 cd's.

This is only 20 shows.

Pictures be nice!

I just bought the 78 box and, after a long debate, the MSG box. So I was going to pass on this. And just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in. This box contains my first show 5/13/78 at Spectrum. And another one I attended, Hampton 81. Oh well. It's only money.

Can't play money, sure you could leave it to your kids. But hey, fuckem. THIS is an investment.

Delhead, go for it. Your worth it. If not you, who?

I was afraid of something like this.

Do we think this is the only box of the year then?

Dennis - I like your perspective. And my kids have their own money.

a joint venture, lol. Go together with others to divide and conquer to get only the shows you want. He says (over on the 3-CD page) he is most interested in the early stuff and our R.R. show from 8-12-79. An interesting and brilliant proposal but would require going in with someone of different era tastes. A meeting of the minds between the different generations of Deadheads.
Cheers

"do you think this will be the only box this year?"

IT BETTER BE!!!! :-) My wife ain't made of money!

next to the first offering 4-5-69 Avalon?
Is it from a cassette?
Or on a cassette?
Can't imagine them producing cassettes but I'm OK with that if they do.
EDIT: Yes, from Dave's Office Hours chat, the first show is on a cassette! Wow.
Cheers
Sure sign of Spring: The deer ate my daffodils. Dang! They only bloomed yesterday.

This one came out of nowhere, it looks pretty stacked I must say.
But but but where's the GREASE, pre-69???

Not complaining, just asking for a friend.

Be Well People!
Sixtus

I'm in and can't wait!

First time a show I was at being released 3/17/93. Capital Centre was dozed to the gills and the band knew it!!

Alright!

This is big!

Expensive.

Dennis are you in?

Any codes out there?

This is clocking in at $681

Anyone know if PayPal Pay 4 installments are offered on this?

....I was at that one.
That's a lot of cheddar. I just got probed a couple days ago!
Draghollow. I use PayPal credit. No interest if paid in off in 6 months. Thats what I'll probably use for this.

random reference to an obscure romcom

but

"Take the grease"

Why are there no no set lists under "track list" ? Looking forward to this baby - soo many great shows.. BW from a very happy Danehead..

I went to 5 of these shows. Fun times! I wish there was something from 1970, but other then that it looks great!

Indeed!

Things are too tight for this right now - Spouse lady would freak, badly.

I need more remastered early-years shows though ...

Will have to see if it sticks around long enough -
or perhaps will be able to split it with someone ??
(i.e. that's not usually preferred, as I enjoy having the full physical package on hand)

I thought it meant from cassette master (which threw me), but to give a cassette to us now!?!?

This falls in the trinket realm. They better offer a digital copy of it (by itself, free).

I don't have a cassette player anymore. I think I tossed almost all my cassette after ripping in or replacing with a current digital copy.

Whining here, but I'm sure SOMEONE on these boards will get us a digital copy.

...."$600 for a stack of CD's?!"
Younger generation I'm assuming.

Dave says "3 cds per venue" so that sounds to me like a lot of these are not complete shows, I'm kinda confused about this...

edit: ok SOME of them maybe not complete, looks like the important ones remain intact.

edit again: I stand by my original statement, confused

I really want to get this, but a bit steep and money is tight. Lots of shows I've been clamouring for too.

Anybody found a Discount Code for this Boxtrosity?

Ordered

Now the wait

Do they allow Pay 4 the PayPal installment option though?

I really wish you guys released these as individual shows. The Europe 72 boxed set made sense because that was a full tour, but like the 50 trips around the sun release I want only some of these shows. That forces me to eBay to get them from people who buy the set and sell off the individual shows just to make a profit

Well, on the plus side, there's a bunch of '69, and '71 plus some shows I actually went to during the '80s, a thing that almost never seems to happen. Including one at the Greek, which finally breaks the ice on that strangely ignored venue.

On the other hand: $600.

Also, this thing has got to be humongous. Especially given the warning about higher shipping rates. A potential problem for those of us whose unlimited desire to collect all of this music stands in conflict with the limited amount of space available.

But who am I kidding? I don't see how I can not get this. I'll just have find the money and space somehow.

Wow, what a surprise! I ordered one. I always order one...

How the hell do you create this box set and skip over spring and summer 1990, arguably their strongest period since ‘77?

I know you can argue that a lot of spring ‘90 has already been released, but good god man, May through July 1990 had some epic goddamn shows

That installment option is available as per the email announcement.
Cheers
I like HF's divide and conquer idea. Go in with someone who wants different shows than you.

I haven't owned a home audio cassette player in 35 years. How are we supposed to rip the 4/5/69 show so we can actually listen to it? For $600?

in the Seaside (office actually) the cassette is only one and got him that 21st venue in a 20 venue box. I got a fully restored cassette deck (killer 1982 high end Teac) recently for $175+shipping and love hearing all my collection again. If anybody needs it PM me for vendors that do 100% of the required resto, not an "I tested it and it works" guy. I follow two vendors (techs actually) that always seem to have a fully restored decent deck for between $100 and $300 that will get you back there. Obviously you can spend a lot more if you want a Nak Dragon but I'm not THAT into it, lol.
Cheers

Huge thanks and love to Dave Lemieux! Remember - no good deed goes unpunished. What a great way to celebrate GD60. Ignore the comments that include anything other than appreciation and LOVE.
NFA

....got one in the attic of my life somewhere.

Would order, I can't, captcha error of all things, years of releases riddled with IT issues, going back at least as far as E72

Every morning after breakfast, the first thing I do is check to see what's happening in Grateful Deadland.
As cousin Eddie once said, "Clark, this IS a surprise".
No way did I see this coming.
Needless to say, I'm in, and like many of you, I will need to do some shelf rearranging.
I was at 5/1/81 Hampton, and Jerry was PUMPED!

Ordered! Yes, expensive.

I just had tell myself it will be more expensive when it is sold out.

I have now remitted $680 USD legal tender. Please notify Mr. Jerome Garcia and his esteemed colleagues, Mr. Ron McKernan; Mr. Keith Godchaux; Mr. Brent Mydland; Mr. Vince Welnick; and Mr. Philip Lesh, that an old friend says, "They said that they would play tonight!" This fellow then laughed hysterically and could not seem to finish his thought. However, I am sure that they will understand.

As well, kindly share with the good Doctor Lemieux that I did not wait to finish reading the list all of the included shows before I purchased this box. I don't know where I will store it, but I cannot look a gift horse in the mouth.

I have the honour to remain,
Your humble obt. servant,
-Obeah, a longtime fan of 3/20/77

30 Trips was 6500, plus a few 100s All Music editions.
Grabbed this one mainly for the early stuff, but will stick around for the late shows.

Some folks can AFFORD it
Honestly Dave ……since the downloads are available…..lets us pick and choose from it…..
I see only one 90’s show
Guess after the 90’s box …..there were slim pickings…….or after Brett was gone…..why bother…… being retired and on a fixed income…all I can afford is the Daves picks and thats with the $5 dollar birthday bonus……
If I live to be 100 maybe I’ll be able to actually listen to all of the collection…..at this stage of life $600 dollars can go to traveling somewhere on this planet

The deer creek show first time there I caught the tour Sullivan stadium thru Greek. What a summer. Psyched for all the 69 Fillmore east and west. Bring it! Use my taper relic TCD5M Awesome!

Amazingly, there’s 5 shows I attended in the ser, including my first show 3/14/81 and my first Cali show 8/20/83, and my first Greek show 7/13/84.

Nak Dragon's still at a premium? Will have to poke around. Would appreciate a DM on your techs, cassette or otherwise. Still perplexed about a cassette? Maybe a trinket, maybe bad recording but want to get it out. Havent had time for office chat yet...

I would have loved it if this box was broken up in section but I know it’s probably not practical. I would love to see 30 trips shows all broken out on nugs.net I think enough time has passed peace. ✌️

You know the deal
