Sealed? In your vault? How are you gonna listen to it? And how do you know the CDs are good?

I bought a Road Trips Vol. 1 No.1 a few weeks ago (it came with the bonus CD too! even though dead.net says it doesn't) that had a bad, unplayable past a certain point CD. It was obvious too just by looking at it. They sent me a whole new set, a prepaid return label and took care of it. It does happen.

Been going through these shows. So many debuts plus the first Wharf Rat smack in the middle of Dark Star. Been one of my favorite run of shows forever.

A classic. As you note, a superb set list. Just popped it onto my iPhone for in-the-car listening.

I've also got 5/23/69 cued up for its crunchy "Dark Star." Road Trips Vol. 4, I believe.
 
What it comes down to for me with the Dead is that once Pigpen exited stage left, I lost interest in what came after. I realize that includes some of their most loved material, but 95% of the Dead I do play, includes Pigpen. To each their own.

I agree for the most part. I still love albums like Blues For Allah, Terrepin Station, and Go To Heaven though. When you consider the era and what music styles ruled at that point in time, I think the Dead were doing just fine in terms of new music output. I love Go To Heaven. It's Wake Of The Flood that I hate. Jeez, no wonder you lost interest. That album did kinda' suck, didn't it?
