Official Grateful Dead Thread

Got my "Garcia Live Volume Three: December 14-15, 1974 Northwest Tour" on order from Amazon. To be released Oct 15. Excellent deal on it right now.
 
Live Robert Hunter

How was the show.? Saw RH in Boulder ca.'92. Tom Constantan (TC) opened. Really a treat to hear the fave tunes done the lyricist's way.
Side note: While waiting for admit the Boulder Theater said it wasn't going to allow taping. WTF! Soon after RH came outside and said he wasn't going to plat if the tapers couldn't tape. Very cool.
Think I'll spin it soon. Haven't heard it in too long a time.:music:

Makes me wonder why I signed up for notification of new releases..

I see Dave's Picks 8 is already sold out, doesn't ship 'til Nov 1, is being scalped on e-bay for double the price, and I never got notified from dead.net. grrrrr....

Anyone else miss out? How can I avoid this in the future?
 
What? DP8 already sold out?!? That's just crazy. Oh, well. I think i'm "good" with Good Ol' Grateful Dead for awhile.
But maybe i should pre-order the next Jerry/Legion of Mary set? It's out next week! Hmmmmmm...:scratch2:

Just did a google search on it. It's a Fall 1980 show and a matrix! Funny how i was just thinking about that possibility a few weeks ago.

The new Legion of Mary set is out already?!? Crikey. I thought the Street Date was 10/22. I gotta get on that. Will hit Music Millennium this Saturday. I'm sure they ordered plenty. I may be able to get a "hold" on a copy of Dave's #8 there too.
 
Pre-ordered mine from Amazon. They had it here with their standard Free over $25 shipping (I also bought a box of AA batteries) the same day it was officially released, Oct 15. They even refunded $3 because of their pre-order price guarantee, they lowered the price after I placed the order.
 
Why anyone would spend money on 5/2/70 is truly beyond me. 1st gen tapes have been widely available since.... 1970.
 
05/02/70 is Dick's Picks #8. I had crispy low generation tapes of that show for years. The official 3CD version is far superior. One of those hallmark shows well worth paying for best quality. I used to have well over 1K hours of Dead on Maxell XLII's. Now? Quality>Quantity. Glad i came to my senses around Y2K. There are only so many hours in a day....
 
The tapes were as perfect at it could get; seems like another money making opportunity for GD Inc. - I'm sure they are laughing all the way to the bank. I'd rather see them produce remasters of the hundreds of great shows that haven't been recycled a gazillion times
 
I really hope it's retailers that have gobbled up all the Dave'sPicks8 copies so damn fast! I'll find out soon enough, i guess.
 
I sent an email to dead.net "customer service" complaining about the situation. Tiffany said they did send out emails and suggested I sign up which I already had done some time back. They should have a limit how many can be pre-ordered if they have a limited number available to start with so the fans get a fair chance and not so much the profiteers. :thumbsdn::thumbsdn:
 
Just an FYI. The Daves Picks are only available by subscription. They are not sold retail.

I have all 3 from this year, and did get the email about DP 8 shipping around Nov 1, 2013.

I'm pretty sure 1 year was $99 with free shipping included.
