From what I can gather a "podcast" is a pre-recorded show that you can download to your Ipod or mp3 player of choice.

I've been hearing rumors that a major announcement about a release of a box set of the entire Fillmore 2/27-3/2/69 run will be happening soon.... not sure if it is a hoax or not. God, I hope it's not.

Hello -

This was emailed to me with no disclaimer on it not being for public disemination (which is the typical deal):

"In conjunction with Apple, we will be making the official announcement on the 1966 Rarites download on Tuesday to coincide with the announcement of the 40th Anniversary celebration release of the 1969 Fillmore West Box. Could you mention it on KPFA Wednesday? Peace, Eileen."

Dick would have screamed with joy - WooHoo!

I have a friend who knows Gans. I showed the friend the Steve Hoffman rumor. Friend sent Gans an e-mail which Gans answered quickly as he wasn't playing tonight.

It's a hoax. :(

Gans did not write the e-mail that's being quoted.

There continues be some hope that the Fillmore run will be released because it is no longer available on archive.org, and one would think some day it will be released since they have multi-tracks. But sadly, the Gans e-mail is a forgery. :angry:

40 Years Worth of Memorabilia Soon to be Made Available on the New Dead.net

LOS ANGELES, May 17 /PRNewswire/ -- BIG INTERACTIVE, a Los Angeles based

Digital Marketing agency, today announced that it has been selected by

Grateful Dead Productions, curators and gatekeepers of all things "Dead," to

redesign their official online website. The win comes after an extensive

multi-agency review.

It was critical for us to work with an agency that understands the legacy

of The Grateful Dead, where we see our website going, the music, and most

importantly the fans themselves," said Cameron Sears, CEO of the Grateful Dead

Productions.

The band's current site has been, since its grass-roots launch in 1995,

one of the most-trafficked band sites on the Web. BIG is planning an

innovative, user-friendly re-imagination of the site that will showcase

exclusive, never-before-seen content from The Grateful Dead's rich vault of

audio and video recordings, promotional material, and private items such as

hand-written lyrics. The revamped dead.net will launch late summer of 2005.

"We are thrilled to be awarded this win. This is a once in a lifetime

opportunity to work with such a legendary band. We're huge fans ourselves,"

commented Matt Minkin, CEO of BIG Interactive.

In some ways you can't miss.

It's great. . .b u t it doesn't have a cohesive feel of "one show" that I really like, so I don't find myself reaching for it too often.

But there's no reason to avoid it. Great sound and choice performances.

Steppin' Out With The Grateful Dead: England '72

I've almost bought this set about 4 different times.  It looks like a can't miss.  What do you think?

Buy it. It is the best non-Dick's Picks live release that they have put out IMHO Like others have mentioned the sound is incredible as are the performances.

It's pretty good - not quite as good as Steppin' Out IMHO but pretty darn good. The stuff w/ Bo Diddley is hilarious. I ordered mine from GDP and got a bonus disc of material from the Academy of Music run from March '72. I'm not sure if they are still giving the bonus disc away.
