While the shows haven’t occurred yet, plans for a release are already official as the Fare Thee Well Chicago shows at Soldier Field will be released on CD, DVD, Blu-Ray and digital download on November 20 via Rhino/Grateful Dead. 

The shows will be available in a variety of formats and Dead.net is the only place where fans can get complete audio and video for all three shows. The two Dead.net exclusive versions, one 12-CD/7 Blu-ray and the other 12-CD/7-DVD, will each be limited to 20,000 individually numbered copies on their first run. The Dead.net versions will also feature an exclusive bonus disc featuring a behind the scenes look captured by Justin Kreutzmann. Included on the disc will be footage from the Grateful Dead ticketing office documenting the 350,000+ ticket requests received from the show as well as other vignettes from Soldier Field.
