For 60+ discs, the price isn't that absurd.  Except for what's on those discs.

I sort of want it.

It is a fine tour.

Most of the shows are available in great quality in the free digital realm.

If i was to acquire 60+ discs,, I would want those discs to include every single thing that happened in the year nineteen-hundred and seventy-two.

A lot of Deadheads are whining that Jerry would be rolling over in his grave.  But I submit it's not so clear cut:

"Fuck 'people's music'," laughs Jerry Garcia from a reclining seat in the plush, wood-finished business offices of the band. (The comfortably expansive cluster of rooms are located in a streamlined San Rafael complex.) "I mean, I thought it was a dumb discussion even when it was the big thing awhile back to talk about how music should be free... that music belongs to the people and musicians rip them off. That kind of thing really irks me. 
 
"It's like, in order to get so you can play music you have to sacrifice a lot of what would have been your normal life. You know what I mean? For lack of a better phrase, you have to pay the dues to get so you can play music. It's not a thing you just do. If that were so, everybody'd be making their own music and there wouldn't be professional musicians. There'd be no need for them. For someone to deny the fact that you spent a certain amount of your life working on some sort of discipline and learning how to play... that's the rip-off. That's the state versus the individual. Anytime someone comes down on artists and claims their work on any level, I think that's pure bullshit. There's been too many great musicians who died poor. People's music... it just ain't so."
