Hi everyone. I am new here and have enjoyed reading many of the conversations.

I have done my research and found that The Grateful Dead have yet to release anything from 1984 from the vault. So I decided to make a petition to change this.

So get them shows! Don't let THE MAN stand between you and the music that was given freely to the world.

I have a good portion of those shows on cassette and on my harddrive. I am hoping for a remastered upgrade for some of these shows.

It does seem like they dont release them 80's shows like they should .....

I'm used to the SBD's that are out there though ....

Which '84 show is it that you feel they should release? Imho, '84 might be their roughest overall year, pre-'94, but there are a few gems in the rough, like maybe 6/30 Indy... or the obvious 7/15/84 Greek Th. with the Dark Star. I guess the most likely '84 release would be a compilation of a multi-night runs like the aforementioned Greek, or the Berkeley Community run from Oct-Nov, since none of those individual nights seem quite strong enough (to me)to release as whole shows...

You're slippin a bit there TS---that Greek was 7/13/84--it was a full moon on friday the 13th.

I'd say a Berkeley Comm Theatre from early Nov might be in order.

ah thanks for the correction... the 1st night of the run, that's right- also proving that I hardly ever listen to much from this year!(JGB excluded!) If I was 2-3 years older, it would probably have been the dawn of my touring days, and I would speak fondly... it's often a matter of perspective, attendance-bias ,etc.
