As I recall, GDP had a multi-disc package of the Winterland shows from November '73 worked up and ready for pre-order right before the consummation of the exclusive-license arrangement with Rhino. GDP pulled this package from its online store before orders could be taken and filled. This may well transpire as "Three from the Vault," but that's mere speculation on my part.
Best to all,

Not b/c of Pig, but b/c, as noted, the show has been widely circulated and available for a long time. The vault series should be about re-mastering more hidden gem type shows, improving sound quality of such shows, and adding lots of extras in packaging to attract sales.
this does not meet that standard. Of course, i'd like to see some shows from the '77-'79 years featured. Not a lot done there officially, especially '78 to '79.

The skuttlebut in the smegs community is that this will be a "best of Pigpen" release, bits and pieces of his best from different shows, possibly some from 2/19/71. Or, you may be right, it may be 2/19/71 in its entirety.
1. A Pigpen compilation is a nice idea, but we've had many recent releases that featured Pig - the "Ladies and Gents Fillmore East 1971", as well as some 1971 and 1968 download series too. I love Pigpen, but is this the best they could do?
I dare say 2-3 CD's of only Pigpen songs is not going to sell very well.
2. 2/19/71 - interesting that they might pick this one. It's one of my top ten for 1971, even though many people prefer 2/18/71. A good show, no doubt.
But even my Granny has this show by now!! All the Capitol Theater shows have circulated widely for 15 years, and every serious Dead collector already has all 6 shows anyway. Surely Rhino and GDP could think of something more special than this?
I think it's obvious by now that they have no intention, or the means, to even begin to release the vault to us, even as MP3 downloads, iTunes or anything else.
Remember all those promises by GDP about "great new possibilities" when the SBD's were pulled? Not opening THAT can of worms again. But only 2 vault releases in a year so far? Not a very promising score.
Somebody, at least at Rhino, deserves an A+ for trying to put out good quality product (if it wasn't for Rhino we wouldn't have half the old albums on CD now available) and the 12/31/76 release sounds great. But I think the marketing department still has its head up its ass.
Phil?? Rhino?? Hello?? We want whole shows, are you listening? Do you want to make money? How about the missing summer of 1970? How about some missing 1981 or 1982 SBD's that don't circulate?
Do you poor slobs need some help picking good shows? I know about 1 dozen people here on LAMA that would love a job !!
Tell us where to send a resume. You guys need some help.
keeping my money,
Dr. Flashback :-)

BTW, I hear it's going to be an in-depth survey of performances of Mexicali Blues throughout the years. I only regret they limited it to 2CDs.

I'm going to laugh all day.
Some more information:
The bonus disc will consist of the unfinished solo material Ron was working on at the time of his death. It will include studio versions of originals including "Empty Pages," "The Stranger," "I'm Going to Rip Off Your Head and Shit in It," and his stomper, "Goin' to the City For Some Nitty Gritty Titty."
Can't wait!
