Grateful Dead 1969 Fillmore West Boxset coming

Copies #1700 & #4254 arrived today. I can't wait to dive into it!

 

My mailbox was empty. Maybe tomorrow.

 

When your copy arrives you must tell us what number it is.

 

Whip out the digital camera...show us what some of us are still awaiting!!

 

Jerry,
It sounds like you have a really cool wife. That's pretty neat!

 

The box showed up this evening, but it doesn't seem to have the bonus disc. Does it come housed in a package separate from the box? Might have to call the GD store.

Oh yes, it's #7081.

 

Thanks, Jerry. I just got off the phone with the GD store--they're gonna send one.

 

Damn it! Mailman has come and gone...no box set today

 

I didn't pay extra for fast shipping so I imagine next week sometime. It's awfully tempting to sell it though with some of the prices I've seen.

 

Don't sell it, no matter what the price. This box set is a Dead Head's "wet dream" - keep it (unless of course you bought more than one).

 

I know, but I already have hundreds of hours of live Dead I'd probably only ever get around to listening once or twice and one went for over $700 yesterday

 

Sadly I don't have one. At first I objected to cards being charged months before shipping; by the time I got over it and tried to order, it was too late.

So how is the audio quality? How does it compare to the soundboards that had been posted at archive.org until this set was in the works?

 

Hi Jerry,
Your wife has turned you on to some great people. And some named Springsteen, eh? Here's something both funny and sad to pass on to you. A guy I used to know decided that he didn't want to talk to me anymore because he hates the fact that I like Bruce (he's a huge Bruce/Elvis fan) and The Grateful Dead. Go figure?!
I'm still waiting for my set as well. I'm another one who ordered the standard shipping.

 

When you read the book do you suddenly start laughing uncontrollably and get the munchies?

 

Didn't get mine yet, although DP 36 (9/21/72) and Closing of Winterland showed up today

 

Haven't heard much yet to comment. I've been listening to Closing Of Winterland which sounds superb.

Still no Fillmore West Box in today's mail.

 

Mine arrived about an hour ago. Sounds great to me. The first set (Disc 1) is a bit uneven, but the band quickly gels. More later.

 

i have the over-the-counter three disc set--all i really needed--and it smokes. i'd be interested in hearing more, but i'm not the world's biggest dead fan and it might be overkill. i like the distillation by those more in the know. for great late 60's psych-rock, however, you'd be hard-pressed to find better than fillmore west 1969 and live/dead.

P.S. the sound quality is impeccable, per usual, and the booklet and liners are swell, too. great photos!
