Any Grateful Dead fans see this?

I just started listening to them yesterday; main reason because I kept hearing about them a lot in "Electric Kool-Aid..." and I had to check them out. They're awesome. So I noticed this and wondered if any of you noticed also:

    $134.00 is a HUGE rip off, I would only buy Workingmans Dead and American Beauty anway.

    If you're a deadhead AND a collector of vinyl...no i don't think the price is so awfully bad. After all, its vinyl..and you can't buy the original issues anymore on vinyl..some in no other form either.

    REminds me back when I had my entire dead, jerry, kingfish collection on cassette tape, let someone i "knew" borrow them to dub, and never saw them again. hmm...the idiot that i am.

    so now...although i think having a vinyl set is great (don't give a hoot about the dark star insert), i just download all the songs, the shows, whatever and put them on cd's myself. its free (don't tell anyone....heheeeee) and you can pick and choose the versions you like.

    however, all that said, if i had 134 bucks to toss around, i'd go for it

    after all, its jerry's legacy right? except for the part that exists in our heads and hearts <3
    peace,

    If you can track down the DVD releases of American Beauty and Workingman's dead, I'd get those instead. Remastered by Mickey Hart, 24-bit, glorious. I actually have the DVD-Audio version, which had a surround mix. Not sure if the DVD release had that too.
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    I'm fairly new to the Dead (starting yesterday) so this is great for me. I love collecting vinyl so I'd love to hear how these albums sound. My local record store might sell them individually. Not sure. I'll have to stop by there.

    While you are collecting Vinyl, you may want to check out some live shows too. This site should keep you busy for a few weeks :)

    I'll be passing on these, but it's great to hear you're getting into the Dead, Newch. They are awesome. I just listened to To Terrapin: Hartford '77. The show took place in a little venue we've all come to know so dearly...

    I went on their site. In 1972, they played two shows at the Palace Theater in good ol' Waterbury. It has to be some kind of sign. I'm going to look for those shows!

    1972 Dead shows are some of their very best! Check out bt.etree.org. for good Dead downloads.

    It seems like with the new decade (1970) the Dead changed their sound. Liking "Workingman's Dead" right now.

    That was a great book.

    I was just about done when school started and now I'll have to wait until either November or December to finish the book because right now school is in the way of me finishing the book. I had read the part where they were talking about the Grateful Dead and that's what made me start listening to them.
