What shows are you hoping to see this year?

I'm thrilled that 2015 is ending with my favorite touring year of 1973.

 

Anything from 70, 71, 73, or 85 would be most welcome IMO.

 

Subscribed! Thanks for the heads up!

 

There are reports that people are being charged for shipping so check your card statement!

Oh and I'd love to see a '76 or Fall '73 show.

 

Yes, charged me for shipping. I'll give them a call later in the week. Everybody's calling in today. Lol.

 

Me too. God dammit, Jerry!

 

I'm looking forward to a new year full of surprises.

 

I'm hoping for some more May 1977, a couple of fall 1972 shows... Just kidding.

Actually, I hope they mix it up - one show from each decade would suit me just fine.

 

On the fence. If the first show is the mooted '84 I may sit this one out.

 

How about this:

Spring '69/Fall '71/Summer '76/Fall '91

 

Pre-70, 1970, one each from 80's/90's
I think it is time for them to expand the releases past Keith.

 

I want Philly 89. Because Death don't have no mercy, it really don't. And some other stuff.

 

That's probably multitrack so doubtful as a DaP. Mini box?!

 

no 85!

thats cuz I want an '85 Box set!!!!! or maybe a Frost or Alpine Valley box!

Ok, so I want a 68 (maybe 9/2!!!!)

Maybe either a 1970 release or 1980, with an acoustic/electric set to appease those of us who couldn't help but notice the glaring omission of acoustic performances from 30 trips.....(9/20/70 please!!!!!)

an 80's release... OK, so how about that Greek 84? or something from either 87 or 88? How about SPAC or Rochester 88? Or the other Oxford show?

How about Summer 91. Giants stadium would be the obv choice but how about Charlotte? Not quite as well known but this 2 night stand was top notch.


Oh, and finally, for all the 77 fans, the magical reappearance of Barton Hall77 with a standalone midsummer release...

 

Something from the fall '71 tour as they were bringing Keith into the band.

That '67 show from 30 Trips was a tease so more from that year would be welcomed!

A board of the 6/24/70 Port Chester show (probably doesn't exist but there are nice auds out there)

Anything from the Quick and Dead tour from January/February '68.


Would love to see boxed sets of:
Port Chester '71 (six shows with lots of songs played for the first time, including Playin', Bertha, Greatest Story, Wharf Rat, Deal)
Summer '85 (SPAC, Merriweather Post, Hershey Park, Red Rocks, Greek Theatre)
Winterland October '78

One can wish...

 

my fantasy: a board turns up of 6/4/77, i am a bit burned out on the '77 releases, but THAT would be fantastic!!!
more realistically: 12/30/78 would be a good release. we've had NYE 1976 and 1978, it would be cool if 12/31/77 saw official release, i really like that show...12/31/79 would be sweet, too.
9/2/68 at Betty Nelson's Organic Raspberry Farm - i have long wished for it to be released...
something good from Summer '85 would hit the spot, too...
AND i am actually hoping that 7/13/84 Greek Theatre *is* on the release schedule!

 

I just pulled the proverbial "insta-buy" trigger. "Let The Good Times Roll".

 

C'mon Greek '84!

 

YES! i'm rooting for it, too.

 

All resubscribed here.

 

My first subsciption ordered along with a few t-shirts. I'm a bit bummed that I missed the last release ('73). Not sure we gonna get a better show next year

 

Thanks for this "heads up" thread. I'll be ordering as soon as I get back home this morning.

 

Nor I.

 

I'm going to sit this subscription out. Will by the releases separately if I like the show being offered.
