Wouldn't this effectively double the Apple music store's catalog?

"The Grateful Dead is still putting its own archive out. Besides standard CD releases, the Dead is finalizing a deal with Apple's I-Tunes to make every live note they've ever recorded available for download."

Are Apple's servers big enough to store it all?

And compared to most music at I-Tunes, the Dead's jams are a bargain, he says with a laugh.
"At 99 cents a tune, it's a pretty decent price, because most of our tunes are pretty long."

*nods thoughtfully*

man you can buy whole Fela tracks on iTunes for 99 Cents - the Dead are miniaturists in comparison

Surely that's like at least 5 years of linear music when stood end to end....? Yikes.
