The official Grateful Dead website just announced the newest GD box set, Spring 1990 (The Other One).
This is the 2nd Spring 1990 box set. The first one went on sale, and sold out, about 2 or 3 years ago. And, although I usually much prefer pre-1978 GD, the first Spring 1990 box set is actually one of my favorite GD box sets (I have many) and I listen to it a lot.
This current (Spring 1990, The Other One) box set consists of 8 shows and has a total of 23 discs. It also includes the 3/29/90 show in which Branford Marsalis made a guest appearance. That 3/29/90 show is also being offered for sale separately.
The box set is limited to 9000 copies and went on sale today. It will ship on September 9. The first Spring 1990 box set sold out in a week or two and this one should go fast as well so any Dead Heads should jump on it asap. I pre-ordered mine today. It isn't cheap ($240) but that only comes down to $30 per show. The sound quality (HDCD) is excellent on all of the recent GD releases and is much better than the sound quality on the free download sites.
