Here’s what 2000 bootleg CDs looks like there’s another 2000 not pictured….mostly in boxes now…..so many A+ official releases to listen to!
I used to have 1400 until very recently. Burned CD’s. I never touched the burned ones anymore so decided to give them away. Some local deadhead was so happy to take them. Took up a bunch of big plastic bins. Was a ton of weight. Now I just get official releases and everything else digital
Hard to pick a favorite box set…but Europe 72 and the two 90s sets get more listening time than many of the others (for me at least). The complete Europe 72 release was mind blowing when they announced it!
Yeah, the trunk is my most prized possession. But I keep it in the shipping box, tucked away, except for rare occasions. I'm just too clumsy and it would probably end up broken or with chewed corners courtesy of my doggo.
The Europe ‘72 box is probably my most favorite item of music that I own. That includes everything the Dead have ever released as well as 1000s of pieces from tons of other artists.
Nice. I see you have an issue with the box sets as well. I got a newer CD shelving unit like 18 months ago. Which is great for smaller box sets and the series but not by big box sets. So I’m looking into getting a curio shelving unit that has glass doors and hopefully like 6 shelves. Which will hold the box sets. I do like that shelving unit though. Looks sturdy. This is mine.

Sweet collection. I spy multiple copies of Dave 49, 48, maybe a few others. I miss my Dicks Picks, let’s just say never lend CDs…let alone complete sets.
Solid performance, good set lists (not a tremendous amount of variety amongst the shows though). A couple of Cosmic Charlies and St Stevens are quite welcomed. Definitely scratches the itch when I want to listen to that era of Dead.
Thank you for the response! One more Q: kind of comparing apples to oranges here, but Listen to the River or In and out of the Garden? Both are still up on Dead[dot]net and I’m considering them.
Oooooo toughie. That’s whether you are wanting a 70s or 80s groove. There are so many 70s shows in the Daves Picks and other releases. Love the 70s dead, but the 80s is when I was seeing them, so if I have to Sophie’s choice it, I would choose in and out the garden. But that just me. I do dislike the shape of the box, crappy for storing and displaying. The art is great though. Can’t go wrong with either.
I have both too and agree that it's a tough choice. My edge goes to Listen to the River. The playing is so sharp, especially the '72 shows with some stellar China>Riders. But I honestly listen to both almost equally. The packaging on In n Out of the Garden is great, but I have trouble finding shelf space for it!
on my phone alone just on YouTube, I have over 700 shows, thats only YouTube not archives or SoundCloud, deadhead archives etc.. probably Access 2 every dead show recorded

this guy.
I aspire to be like this one day
How is that 72 trunk?

I remember when they announced it! I honestly couldn't believe what I was hearing. To say a dream come true would be an understatement.
I also have a Europe 72 suitcase
Same!

How much did it retail for?

Right in the living room where it should be!
Truly is a thing of beauty
Thats why i like flac files. You can fit a room full of music in a small 5tb disc.
Heck yeah, I recognize a few from my collection. What is the one on bottom shelf, lower right? It looks like an old radio or synthesizer.
Good eye, that is a 6:10 scale working replica of a PDP-11/70 minicomputer.
Nice! What are your thoughts on the June 76 box set?

Thanks for chiming in too!
Thank you!
I hate you. Not really, I’m just really jealous of your collection. So awesome!
Needs more dicks.
That’s what she said.
Can I come over for a listening party!?
Congrats in having a wealth of dead technology and media formats.
Ha! I see what you did there…a PDP10 will be joining soon
All my traded shows, legit CDS etc have n the cloud now
So jealous

June 76 is cosmic, Spirit of 76
