Because you dared dream this might happen one day… Because you went down to the Gypsy Woman and offered up your first-born to try to make it happen… Because there are enough passionate Dead Heads at Rhino/GD who thought it might be cool for this to happen… It’s happening! Coming in September is a gargantuan, beautifully designed EUROPE ’72 MEGA-BOX SET containing ALL 22 SHOWS of what is arguably the greatest tour the Grateful Dead ever played, on a whopping 60+ DISCS (over 70 hours of music!).

Marco Benevento will perform at this weekend's Winterfest On The Mountain up in Nederland, Colorado.  Other artists scheduled to appear include:  Wicked Messanger featuring Adam Aijala & Ben Kaufman of Yonder Mountain String Band, Billy Nershi, Springdale Quartet, Cornmeal, Charlie Hunter, Elephant Reviv
