My Grateful Dead Record Collection. Rare Vinyl, Box Sets, Bootlegs, MoFi, Limited Edition and more! 

Cool collection. My sunshine daydream is probably my favorite dead record too. My cat chewed the corner off that one.

The original 1974 French pressing of From the Mars Hotel CT# UAS 29 903 is a different mix from all other pressing. It has a deep deep potent Bass mix. Very well recommended

Amazing collection! Really makes me want to listen to some Dead tonight! I’ll have to watch out for the new RSD releases!

Seastones.. such a crazy record

Thanks for sharing! I've got a 79' MoFi American Beauty still sealed with hype sticker and original price tag! $14.99! Also just finished Bill's book recently, and learned that Mickey used real crickets during the 8/13/75 One From The Vault show. Always wondered about that.

I have that Seastones record - Never thought I'd see someone else with a copy. Amazing collection, thanks for sharing!

I had been after Without a Net for a while - broke down late last year (after they announced the new color vinyl box, which would delay the reissue probably) and ordered a very clean used European copy. It's awesome. I know every note by heart.

Dylan your recommendations have expanded my taste. Garage psych rock. The 'unknown' smaller, bands, love it. Thanks man!

Wow, thanks for sharing! Some of those I've never seen or knew about. Thankfully I've got a good chunk of most of them though, all the studio & Jerry solo stuff anyway. Definitely need to track down all the MoFi versions! ✌️😎✌️

Awesome collection! Can't believe you breezed by that pristine Cats : ) That thing is due for a reissue.

All these MoFi's are nuts im in awe

“I will try. I’m not gonna try” Haha! Nice. I’ve got no idea how to pronounce it either. Beautiful collection, Dillon. Those MoFi’s are amazing! Best Dead collection I’ve ever seen. I came across a sealed first press of “American Beauty” on the green WB label with the hype sticker. I had to open it, and I’m glad I did, cuz it sounds killer. I saw Dylan and The Dead in VT in ‘94, and the sound guy introduced me to Jerry! It’s a long story, and I may have been in a psychedelic kinda way at the time. lol. Again, amazing collection, Dillon! Wow!

Very good video man! All great stuff, thanks for sharing with us. Peace

I’m happy that you like Dylan & The Dead! 😃. I’m a fan of that underrated album. Although I consider it a Bob Dylan record

Fantastic collection!

I had quite some Dead in my cd collection but lost it all due to fire, now I look for them but they are hard to find on vinyl in the Netherlands unless out-scratched or way too expensive... Life is hard... Love your shows!!

Go to Heaven is one I came around on a while ago. So many good tunes on that one.

Hola ! Que alucinante coleccion. Yo soy fan de los Dead desde hace 50 años, ya tengo 64 y los sigo escuchando con la misma emocion de la primera vez. En mi coleccion solo tengo en acetato Live Dead, Europe 72 y Aoxomoxoa.....en mi pais es muy dificil encontrar sus discos. Los saludo cordialmente desde mi maltratada Venezuela. Paz.

yo my guy i’ve been watching some of ur vids recently, and ur awesome bro. so chill and great taste man.

Great collection brother I love the Grateful Dead as well my collection is not that extensive but I have a few of those albums.i really enjoyed the showing take care and stay safe, Cheers Snowy

I could go all day with ya on this subject... That "One From The Vault" lp is an incredible one to have... Never owned the vinyl... Its only 1 of the 5 or so shows they played in 1975 while they were on hiatus... The Great American Music Hall in San Fran is an old small ornate theatre... It was an invite only show thus the cover art... The best intro ever too.... I will just stop there... Could comment on all of these....

Awesome video, Love the dead!

Marvelleus Collection man !!!😀👍🤗

Missing Skull & Roses too, unless I missed it! One of my favorites, and started the "Deadheads" with their "Who are you, How are you?" mail in list

Those first 9 albums is my favorite Grateful Dead album. Tiger Rose and Keith & Donna is my favorite non Dead Grateful Dead album.

Cool vid! Footnote: Someone already mentioned Courtney Love photo bomb urban myth, but it is a fact that the dude on the pony in the background is the great Vince Guaraldi (who did the music for all those great Charlie Brown specials;).

Thanks. Amazing collection. I love all the GD records…even “Go To Heaven” which most fellow dead heads hate. I think it has a lot of great songs on it. Sounding a bit like Fleetwood Mac, it’s quite accessible to non deadheads. You also have a lot of non studio albums that I never heard of. I would also recommend “Vintage Dead” recorded in 1966 but released in1970 on Sunflower Label. By some quirk, it’s legal, not a bootleg. It has great Pigpen material and a super version of the song “Dancing in the Street.”

Nice showcase Dylan . I still have my banded promo of Terrapin Station. Cool version. Used to have the white remixed white cover Anthem but purged it in my mid 90s madness. The sealed Warfield is great because it’s mostly acoustic. Cheers to you. 🎸

Amazing collection. And with all those that you have, there's still so many more! All the Bobby stuff, Donna and Keith, Rhythm Devils, Hunter, there's even a record by a band called Silver that featured a young Brent Mydland. It's awful. lol. I was surprised that we didn't have the same bootlegs but now I have a many more to track down. Thanks for sharing. Off to get one of your tshirts now.

Awesome collection, especially the bootlegs, I've never seen some of those, a couple of quick corrections though, at 11:20 that rsd album is Hampton 79 not 74, Brent Mydland just joined them a couple months prior, and around 12:00 I believe you say that that rsd album is Austin? Its actually Houston, oh and you called Dead set "live set" 😄

I actually always liked the white Anthem cover more than the original. Guess I'm in a minority on that one LOL! Btw, the remix was done in 1971 (as was Aoxomoxoa) so the early 70's Anthems still had the original cover with the new mix before someone decided on the 1975 cover. Which is great. ;) Hooteroll is fantastic! Wish he'd done more stuff with Wales, right up there with the Legion of Mary stuff.

New to this hobby man, I’m searching for a reckoning my cd is holding me over but man it must sound nice. Just got the Buffalo box the show after Cornell always wanted Cornell but man the box set for Buffalo sounds amazing just like that whole tour

Dude you a brother I ever seen one. This was a sic walk through. Shared to my Facebook cause it’s mighty

I finally found a copy of old and in the way last summer but I am missed so many. I really want Reckoning and Dead Set, Without a Net and One From The Vault. 🤞🤞🤞

Very nice. I am slowly rebuilding my vinyl Dead collection and there is no substitute for the Dead on vinyl!

The original green W7 pressings of Anthem of the Sun have a different mix from the later green WB pressings also. That goes for AoXoMoXoA also. The W7 pressings are the preferred and better mixes

Congratulations my friend, ciao

The back of Mars Hotel (great album, btw) is not a picture of 'monsters' as Dillon says, but portrays the members of the Dead as extraterrestrials (check out Jerry's feet!)- watching tv, presumably in a hotel on Mars. I truly love the artwork- to me it suggests the band, stoned, late at night, decompressing in front of the tv- and who among us hasn't been in that state at some point in their lives? A very emotionally relatable tableau.

Awesome... I have to start getting their albums

Oh that’s awesome Good job

FINALLY!!!!! THANK YOOOOOU!!!!! WOOOOHOOOOOO

I have a version of Garcia’s gang with Duane Allman, different cover, found it in Wax and Facts in Atlanta

Wow...that was fantastic. A couple that you didn't mention on Sunflower (I think they are official releases) - Vintage Dead and Historic Dead. Vintage has a great Baby Blue on it, along with a side-long Midnight Hour. Really enjoyed it Dillon!

Cool... a very impressive Dead Stash.

Have you heard John Oswald's Grayfolded? Hundreds of versions of Dark Star mixed together, a phenomenal collage, and approved by the band back in the day.

American Beauty is my favorite but Workingman’s is a close second. I did not realize Cornell 5/8/77 is so hard to find in the wild now. I have it on CD but should have got it on vinyl when I had the chance!

Considering the amount of live shows on vinyl that have come out lately….We need an update!

Loved this video! The Cornell box is incredible and I've never seen the alternate Anthem album before. Very cool. There are a couple of Dead albums released by Sunflower records which are cool if you can find them. One is called Historic Dead and the other is Vintage Dead.

The UK release of Steal Your Face double live album came with a free sampler album of the solo & band's releases.

I knew there had to be at least one cool person in North Carolina. Thanks for the tour.

Not into Jerry with New Riders of the Purple Sage? Amazing collection!

Absolutely awesome!!!!

I love Grateful Dead

Yeah I love Anthem too ,wouldn't mind the white one

Lone your collection!

😍 Nice!

Looks good

Reckoning is an absolute must have

Awesome!! Thanks for this! All my first pressings got stolen by a junky when I was away on Fall Dead Tour 1987.

I'm amazed at how much Dead I've wound up getting. I've lucked into mostly early/first pressings in really good shape, including 2 copies of _American Beauty_ and the self-titled. I've more or less just plucked them as they turned up since they're too good to pass up, but I try not to get duplicates so that I don't accidentally end up taking them off the market for people who really want them.

The White Cover Anthem of the Sun wasn't authorised by the band and that's was only used for that pressing all subsequent vinyl releases where with the midnight blue background. No Courtney Love isn't in the back photo of Aoxomoxoa the little girl is Bill Kreutzmann's daughter Stacy.

Nice! Do you have Robert Hunter's Tales of the Great Rum Runners?

Nice!

So there's a 68 mix, 72 mix, and another between 75-77 for Anthem of the Sun? I was only aware of the 1968 and 1972. Cool that you have the alternate white cover though. I have a 2020 reissue that utilizes the 1972 mix ('Born Cross-Eyed' ends with a power chord in the key of E instead of the fadeout). And, I own the VMP which utilizes the original mix. I vastly prefer the VMP but that could come down to the mastering on that one.

OK people be kind to me. WTF are MoFi and "record day". Never heard either before. And never saw almost a dozen of this Noble Dead collection. Amazing, I'm speechless! Super excited. (Hard to get a 64 year old man super excited, just ask my wife.) All those Master Recording had me salivating and dreaming , again, of my hero Mr. Natural. Thanks for sharing Dillon. (I'm trapped in Vienna, somebody send me a sheet.) P.S. Is the 1977 Englishtown, New Jersey show on vinyl? It should be. Somebody send some Emails stat!

Do you know the Day of the Dead boxset? A huge boxset, 10LP, with various artists covering the dead. It’s how I got to know the dead actually. Dead records are not so easy to find in Europe.

Check out 'Rob Wasserman - Trios' with several JG tracks.

Grateful Dead fans (of which I am one) crack me up. My family actually has a connection to the Dead that I'm sure not many have (mother-in-law worked back stage). Sometimes I see a release and people hoot and holler about how good it is, such as the '74 Portland Memorial Set, and I'm like "what the hell are you talking about?" In that set, the vocals cut out for (I believe) close to a full side of a disc. Fortunately, I got that one free. And a more recent box set from the Wall of Sound era, is recorded at such a low volume I have to basically crank my stereo 3/4 the way up just to hear it. Wall of sound my ass. And look, I really like GD, but I still have yet to hear the same thing as others in terms of the amazingness of some of these so-called "near-perfect shows." Could be, I've never smoked pot.

I think that Anthem Of The Sun with the white cover is known as the Phil Lesh remix?

What is the best inner sleeve you would recommend?

Nice collection...My brother was a hardcore GD record collector for many years. He died in 2021 unexpectedly .. I inherited some incredible stuff and will be selling it as soon as I can figure out the best way to do so...I don't eBay or PayPal ...I will probably just make a Y/T video showing what's available. I would like to sell the whole lot to someone who appreciates them My Sunshine Daydream is still sealed....Stay tuned.

How about Ready or Not from 2019? I actually ended up liking it quite a bit, though I know the 90s aren't for everyone

I have that "Mars Hotel" album except mine doesn't say "Greatful Dead from the Mars Hotel" across the top, it is just black like the rest of the album. Maybe a misprint? I picked it up somewhere but I am not really a 'Dead fan.

You’re also missing Two From the Vault, assuming they released it on vinyl.

That banded Terrapin Station is AWESOME! As is your GD collection as a whole! I've got lots of their albums, but still missing quite a few. Couple of thoughts: Dylan and the Dead - I have an original pressing, IMO its not a "great sounding" record, perhaps your color vinyl version is a better sounding pressing. From the Mars Hotel - One of my favorite Dead albums, but why doesn't anyone mention "Unbroken Chain" when discussing this album? Its one of my favorites. Go to Heaven - IMO worth it for Althea alone.

I have all of their albums and then some I'm a huge deadhead and if you hold the American Beauty up to the mirror it says American reality and From the Mars Hotel becomes Ugly Rumors (the crazy backwards writing on the top) "U.S. Blues" had started as "Wave That Flag" before being heavily rewritten. I too try to get all the original records myself it's always nice to have.. ( I'm a little jealous you have two versions of anthem of the Sun the purple and the white.) Wake of the Flood is high up on my list 1 copy I have does not have any writing on the back just the bird it's a lot more Jazzy.. Skull & Roses or as some dead heads called it Skull F*%k Good quality on that live stuff , Unlike Europe 72 the recording I thought it was a bit too low. But I loved the way they played the songs slow.. I love the Truckin' > Epilogue > Prelude> Morning Dew. The Boot-Legs Yes I have a few of those you showed + 400 live cassettes in my closet. Sunshine Daydreams was actually a movie that never got released by the dead! the movie is the concert & then some. Over all Great Video !!!! Happy Spinning

My first dead album was workingmans dead its been a long strange trip since

Garcia; Compliments and Reflections

Hey forgot to mention fun fact on the cover of Aoxomoxoa look at the top of the font of the words grateful dead on the cover. if you look closely you can see that grateful dead also spells "I ate the acid " with the top half of the letters . Also @noblerecords I shot you an email did you get it ? Hope your doing well !!

You should get Merl Saunders, Jerry Garcia, John Kahn, Bill Vitt ‎- Keystone Encores Volume I

Do you know the difference between the UK and US version of Fillmore West 2018 RSD Box Set? The UK is 4 Lp while the US is 3 LP. Not sure if the rest of the box sets differ? Thank You

Do u have any warlocks vinyl or the cd box set

Steal Your Face UK release had a free sampler album.

The Sunshine Daydream film, is my favorite Dead Video You did not show a copy of Vintage Dead on Sunflower Records, a terrific 66 concert at the Avalon Ballroom

The Dead can do no wrong!

A freind of mine recently gave me a 180 gram copy of Garcia Compliments. I wasn't going to open it but I just couldn't help myself.

Do you know the pizza tapes it was in mojo's 1000 albums list?

hi dillon is there a market for used concert tickets i have quite a few like nirvana guns and roses the gratefull dead and more

I just got my first record player a couple weeks ago and I've been watching his videos. But can anyone tell me what it means when a record is MoFi?

Dude I resisted the dead for soooo long. I never listened to them because I thought they were just a boring, noodling “jam band” like Phish. I also would see wacky album covers (Like Europe ‘72) and roll my eyes. I waited until I was around 28 before a friend forced “American Beauty” on me and it blew my damn mind. I’ve never had a *red pill* moment from listening to a band for the first time and I can’t believe it took me so long. American Beauty is SUCH a phenomenal album, to say the least. Of course NOW I’m trying to buy all the records and NOW the prices are sky high.

The remix of anthem was 71

The only Grateful Dead album I think I have is Their first album First UK pressing on Gold Label its a little rough but sounds good and I got it cheap from a record dealers stock at thier house. I never come across Grateful Dead albums in the wild in the UK they are much more uncommon although I'm not looking for them that hard but would buy if I saw them at a good price to listen to them. Don't know their music that well and haven't heard American Beauty but I am into psych so probably would prefer the earlier albums.

No sunflower records Vintage & Historical Dead?

mars hotel and blues for alah are best gd studio albums

Do you have records from a band not from San Francisco that have a great song called San Francisco girls “return of the native” called Fever Tree?

Trivia: American Beauty can also be read as American Reality.

And of course Ned Lagin

Oh dang I have an original working mans dead!!! Oop I didn’t know

Here is something fun Dillon take your copy of mars hotel and stand in front of mirror there are two words in the Aztecian letters. ill let you have fun trying to read it.

I'm jealous
