Official Grateful Dead Thread

Yep. Already have the jewel case versions of One and Two from the Vault. Both are culled from original 16 track recordings, iirc. They sound very nice.
I've got the early years from 69 to 74 pretty well covered now.

What are the best complete show(s) from 76-78 to own from either the Dicks/Daves Picks/etc. series?
Don't say the new May 77 set either. It's too expensive! ;(

Yeah it is, I was gobsmacked to see the price at zia.... WTF, we're deadheads, we ain't rich!



anyway, I still stand by my comment, 1-14 are must haves. so, that would be 3,5,10,13(13 is my favorite year actually, 1980), and I really like 18,20,25. Dicks.


Right now, listening to my birthday show from 80,

sept 25, Warfield Theater.

Dunno if this has been released officially yet, but it's part of that acoustic/electric tour that Reckoning came from. Their artistic Peak, in my opinion.

Dave's Picks Volume 7 is now avail for pre-order. Don't have any '78 on official CD and it's the complete show, so i'll prolly just order that for now. Set list looks good.

Went ahead and threw the final show of the Europe '72 tour in too with my pre-order. It's been a fave for yonks and it's A MONSTER! Very stoked that Rhino and dead.net are keeping CDs/physical media alive for tangible media lovers! :thmbsp:
 
Are all the Dave's Picks somewhat expensive? I'm used to collecting Dick's Picks, but Dave's are a bit cost prohibitive from my usual sources.
 
3 restored/remastered HDCDs with nice layout/art/liner notes for $30 + a few bucks to be shipped to my door seems fair to me. YMMV. :dunno:

Do you have to be a club member or something to get for a reasonable price? What I see are $50-150, or more. Out of my range for collecting.
 
Nope. First time orderer last night. Was very easy. Got my confirmation email right after. From what i gather, if you "Subscribe" you get the occ. extra with your order. More often than not seems it's a free disc with bonus stuff on it. Not sure....
Well looking forward to hearing this show from an official source lovingly restored by an obvious very enthusiastic Dave L hangin' out on my back patio in the sun with some cool liquid refreshment.
Gotta say the Dick's series was too much of a mish-mash for me to stay with for long. I prefer to hear the whole show, warts and all, rather than "highlights" from 2, etc.

Enjoy.
 
Hmm.. seems the majority of the Dick's Picks I have are pretty much straight off the tape.

Thanks for the info. I am apparently looking in the wrong place.

Anyway, digging a copy of "One From The Vault" I just picked up for a whopping $2.75! My kind of price!
 
Only one Dave's Picks listed at "dead-net", #7. I pre-ordered it. But I see no others available. I also tried to order a Dick's #15 shown but NLA when clicked on it "This product is sold out". Another one I'll have to buy used for my collection.
 
Yep. Most of Dick's Picks are OOP. Recently gladly paid $47 for Vol 8. Seems the same with Dave's. Hoping to find Dave's Vol. 1 at some point. Check ebay for what they are going for now. Very sobering AKA Get 'em while they are HOT! :yes:
 
Luckily I got bit by the bug to start collecting the Dick's Picks series over a year ago, most I've picked up $10-20 ea., 1,2,3,5,6,7,9,10,11,13,14,17,18,21,24,& 26 so far :D. They seem to be escalating in value nowadays.

Don't neglect the Road Trips series.
I have as many as I could get of 66-79
They just recently had the Valentine's Day 68 show (and some others) on discount at Dead.net
Get it if you can. 2/14/68 is one of my all-time favorites :thmbsp:

D'OH! - They sold out. Get the Charlie Miller from bt.etree.org if you don't have this show
