Forum MVP BillK522 Posted March 15 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 15 The yearly boxset from the Dead dropped recently, a wide spanning 60 disc set focusing on 20 venues known for producing inspired performances from the band. 17 complete shows, 3 compliation venue runs and lots of fillers from other shows at the same venue. I am incapable of passing on any of these boxsets- they are just so neat. This one is a beast. Have been following the converstion on a Steve Hoffmann thread and there is plenty of critical comments concerning this release. Too pricey, wrong shows, wrong years, strange concept, etc. I enjoy all the official releases, amazing record of genius. Opening the floor for comments. Praise DSO.

Pepper Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 I also purchased. Super excited to dive into these shows from the new collection. I’ve also seen criticism for the price, but to me it seems reasonable considering what they could have charged for a 60 CD collection.

Forum MVP BillK522 Posted March 16 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 16 Under represented early eighties getting some needed attention. The Kaiser 85 selection a personal favorite--with its Big Boy Pete opener, Midnight Hour closer, Walkin' the Dog encore along with the final She Belongs. While no ones first choice, also looking forward to the Vinny picks as well. The Cap Centre 93 was the Lucy in the Sky bustout, versions of several later songs dot the playlist. Praise DSO.

Forum MVP John A Posted March 21 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 21 Just preordered and I feel a little dirty doing so to be honest, between already having all the music contained therein and the almost $700 after tax and shipping. That said, many shows will certainly be sonic upgrades to what already circulates. And hell, collectors gonna collect. 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praise DSO. Sage response! Although I think it officially wears off when the credit card cycle is over and paid. 😂 David Lemiuex was playing some selections on SiriusXM today and they didn't disappoint. Heard a cut from Winterland '77, Philly '78, and Red Rocks '79. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s pretty sweet Well done! Is that an integrated amplifier? Few things are more unique and product specific than those illuminated blue meters / displays on McIntosh gear. Memories of those blue lights glowing behind Jerry at the bottom of his stack are damn special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
