Here's an interesting idea:

Package recordings of four concerts from 36 years ago into a 10-CD set. Send word that only 10,000 sets will be pressed. Announce a "pre-order" about three months before the sets actually will be available.

Then watch 'em sell out.

It took only a few weeks for all the copies of the Grateful Dead's "Fillmore West 1969: Complete Recordings" to by spoken for by the band's continuing legion of fans. And we'll be waiting until approximately mid-November to actually receive the discs.

But they're all gone already.

Let's see some other band pull that off!

PS -- Phil Lesh & Friends' "Shadow of the Moon Winter Tour" kicks off right here in Pennsylvania and hits the Palumbo Center at Duquesne University on Tuesday, Nov. 29. Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes is singing.
