Photo is my collection of Grateful Dead and Jerry garcia solo releases. There’s been more added. This might be two months ago. A box set just came out a week ago. Which is another 15 CD’s. Each year to this day around 30 new GD CD’s come out a year. 4 released stand alone concerts in the Daves Pick series which had anywhere from 3-5 or 6 CD’s each, a box set each year, usually a 50th anniversary studio album with one concert as an add on (another 3-4 CD’s) and usually a couple others. Then there are Jerry Garcia band releases as well.

It’s not even close that any other band has come out with even close as much official releases ever. I have about 99% of the collection of what they have put out on CD. Very little I don’t have. Only ones I don’t see concerts that are already part of a boxset. When a new one comes out they usually release one concert from that box set by itself for people who can’t afford the entire box set or just want part of it.

Btw they also put out 24 bit FLAC editions of a lot of their releases too. Something every release should do. I wish they would include with each box set those files on a USB. Because I love the super high bit rate quality lossless files that I can plug right into my stereo with a USB stick and play.

The ultimate box set I think ever is their “30 Trips Around the Sun”. It has 30 concerts. Representing each year of the band. It’s 80 CD’s. It sells for over $2000. In the photo it’s the one on the far left. But right next to that is Europe 72 which also is over $2000 but has a lot less than 80 CD’s.

I love their stuff. Makes me wonder how many more years they will continue to put out this pace. The demand is definitely still there. New deadheads are being made every year as well.
