Enjoying the Ride (New dead.net 60th)

wholey MFS

wholey MFS

Including cassette 

I'm waiting for it to come out on 196x LP's

220 gram, of course lol

Not in my budget. I am sure they will sell them all.

Hard pass, but I'm sure they'll sell out anyway.

functional discount code?

So was this the announcement ? I was hoping for some shows other than Vegas 

$10 per show is significantly cheaper than the Dave's Picks discs.

and significantly more expensive than the vast archive of soundboard and audience recordings which already exists in multiple locations for free. aside from having some shows on vinyl  to listen to i dont really understand the desire to amass GD cd's you have to pay money for. official releases before the internet, sure, but these days IDK

it's just a box of discs..

There's always the speculative angle, Daylight.  People will be trying to flip those for twice what they paid for them or more as soon as they're gone.

There was a notion during the whole Terrapin Station concept where you could just get any show you wanted.    Maybe that's too easy and the demand would be far less, but I would likely buy all the shows I went too minimally and then a few others.   

I get the completest angle but this one is a little strange in my mind.   I'll wait for the 75th when they package 750 shows in one box. 

I went to two of these shows and would love to have them but damn that's alot of dinero to pass down to my son who will most likely sell it a garage sale for whatever he can get when the time comes.  I guess I'm going to need to keep the CD player lubed.  Just ordered! 

You spend $600.00 and they won't even throw in the air freshner ?

Lifted from Reddit. This list is missing one of the Fillmore West shows, but it's a chance to try before you buy, or avoid some FOMO at least. Also, the etreedb pages contain archive.org links.

07/13/1984 Scarlet > Touch > Fire from the new box set:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZwzp3TzTzs

I think this box set is primary intended for well-heeled Dead and Company fans who were too young to collect reels, cassettes or CDs of the actual Grateful Dead. 

Seems kinda useless for those that did, unless you are upgrade OCD-ish or perverse enough to consider it for "investment" purposes. (To each his/her own, I guess.)

"With the exception of a few tracks from earlier releases, virtually all of the music on ENJOYING THE RIDE is previously unreleased, with more than 450 tracks and over 60 hours of music. Of the 20 shows in the collection, 17 are presented in full, with some featuring additional material from the same venue. The remaining three — Fillmore West, Fillmore East, and Boston Music Hall — are curated from multiple performances at each venue..."

This pic reminds me of "the old days" when you had to put the work in and actually socialize with other deadheads:

Glad to see some love for Deer Creek '89 in there. It wasn't the best show I ever saw, but definitely in the top 3 for fun.

Splice intact on 7/13/84 still I see

I believe there is a specific age group to which a product like this is targeted.

One with flexible spending and a CD player laugh

And a cassette deck

nothing earlier than April '69. What I really desire is a complete 1968 box set.  I know '68  is quite incomplete, but any and all existing shows that have a quality recording should be remastered and put into a box set. I'd fork over a chunk of change for that. Hope these shows are still up on archive, I haven't been there in awhile, but man what a treasure.

yes sir, now that makes sense....

An ongoing series of articles on songs & performances of the early Grateful Dead.  Missing 1968 shows.  **Blog Highlights**

The Grateful Dead played approximately 120 shows in 1968. Of those, only 42 shows (either whole or in part) circulate from the year. With two-thirds of the shows from 1968 lost, it is a melancholy task to list them all, but I thought I’d give it a try: this list will cover the shows and parts of shows we don’t have.  Tapes that are incomplete and missing pieces of shows are listed. A few audience tapes survive from 1968; those are only listed here when they’re incomplete. I’ve also noted the few uncirculated tapes that are known to still be in the Vault.  The Hartbeats shows and a couple other known Garcia jam sessions are included.

The Dead taped a large number of shows for Anthem of the Sun from January through March ’68, so we have a good picture of those months. April through July ‘68 is more or less a gaping hole in our tape record, though a few fragments survive. When the Carousel closed in June, Owsley (who’d been taping shows there) rejoined the Dead as their sound man and started taping them again; so we have a small number of unlabeled tapes from June. Since the Dead briefly considered taping another live album in August, we have a batch of tapes from that month. The rest of the year is spotty, and it’s certain that many of Owsley’s tapes have disappeared – aside from the Matrix Hartbeats tapes, we have just a handful of tapes from the fall, and a few more from December.

A note on the winter ’68 tour: per David Lemieux, the bonus material on the 2/14/68 Road Trips release came from a San Francisco studio that was closing and sent their Dead material to the Vault, including live tapes the Dead were working on for Anthem of the Sun. There were only snippets of shows on compilation reels, none complete - but he said the only piece they couldn't fit on the release was a ten-minute Alligator (no Caution) which was dropped due to sound issues.
