Have to say 2nd Dead disappointment for the day - This will be a skip as I have the extended version from the Golden Road Box as well as Complete '72 (yes listened to the box a couple times) The other is an announcement of a Vinyl box of the final four shows of the tour: 5-19 thru 5-22 at Lyceum Theatre, London. Its a typically beautifully packaged set, upward of $500. I am hoping that the vinyl will not be THE annual big box, but...who knows.
Considering Ace celebrated its 50th Anniversary last week I am hoping we see some special release this year.

The Vinyl show is coming as a 4 CD box too.
Yeah it is one of the four shows of the vinyl, either 25th or 26th, as both are 4 discs in the Complete 72. It is an inverse of what they typically do with the annual 'big' CD box sets - selecting one of the shows for a vinyl release.
Again, I am personally hoping this is not the only box of the year (though for all the work/cost involved would not be surprised). Or worse, I hope this is not a sign of the future, with the boxes being vinyl.
For anyone who does not have the box set - or the individual releases they did for each show - this is a really a nice set and was great run. But I am thinking I spent less (not much!) for the Complete '72 in 2011 than what this box is costing... (This is what I get for sayin' just the other day to a friend, 'well they have not really dipped into the 80's, but I hope they don't...' I take it back.)

If you're not nice
The Dead have announced another general release for the same day as the 2CD set of Europe '72 -- there will be a 4CD set of the complete final concert of that tour recorded on May 26, 1972 at the Lyceum Theatre in London. I've added pre-order details to the first post.
