I pitched this to a couple deadhead friends and they seemed to think this was a good deal. Looking at Discogs, I don't see any reason to pick this up.
Deadheads are used to just paying whatever the Dead tells them to in order to get that Workingman's Dead commemorative shop apron, so they're kind of a perfect market for VMP to corner...I pitched this to a couple deadhead friends and they seemed to think this was a good deal.

Is this the first anthology focusing on a single artist?
I'm confused about the demographic tho and who this box set is for. It's not for people getting into the Dead for the first time because it's too expensive but it doesn't have enough exclusive content for Dead Heads to drop $450. Do Dead Heads love the bands in the liner notes?I do like how they posted that Live Dead photograph with Pigpen in the car, Tom Constanten holding a giant stick, and Mickey with an acoutsitc guitar. That should confuse some people.
If you look at the list of names of the guests they brought in to comment on the Dead, you can see their target audience. Members of the Decemberists, Dirty Projectors, Animal Collective. VMP has their demographic.
Hot take: I talked myself into it. I'm blaming it on wanting to be an Anthlogy completionist, Dead 101, and having won some extra $ playing cards.
