    “Welcome to the unique, enduring phenomenon of the Grateful Dead in New York City, a mutual devotion, forged in concert, that ran for nearly as long as the band itself—from June 1, 1967, a free show in Tompkins Square Park on the Lower East Side (ahead of the band’s official, local bow at the Cafe Au Go Go), to the Dead’s last Garden run, six nights in October 1994…the Dead’s affinity for New York City…was instant and arguably their most profound with any city aside from San Francisco.” - David Fricke

    They got on the bus to the Port Authority, rode in on the Long Island Railroad and the New Jersey Transit line. They traveled North, South, and West on the 1, 2, and 3 subway lines, their numbers growing as they descended upon Penn Station. Some rolled up in those iconic New York yellows. Some walked excitedly through the bright lights of Broadway and Times Square, meeting up with old friends on the way and picking up a few new ones too as they ascended The Garden's stairs. Maybe you were among them - lightly buzzed on the way in, fully aglow on the way home. New York City was in its prime and damn if the Grateful Dead wasn't going to rise up to meet it! If you were there, we call on you to join us as we recapture that MSG magic and if you weren't, we invite you along on the epic journey that is IN AND OUT OF THE GARDEN: MADISON SQUARE GARDEN '81 '82 '83.

    Numbered and limited-edition to 12,500, this 17CD set celebrates the band’s rich history at “the world’s most famous arena,” introducing six previously unreleased shows recorded at MSG between 1981 and 1983. It offers a front-row seat to the Dead in the early 1980s, an overlooked and underestimated era of rebirth for the band. At the time of the recordings, the group featured Brent Mydland. Mydland’s vocal power and colorful keyboard palette energized the band, invigorating older material like “The Wheel,” “Truckin’” and “Eyes of The World.” He also gave the band more musical flexibility, which encouraged them to dust off rarely aired treasures like “Dupree’s Diamond Blues” and “Crazy Fingers.”

    IN AND OUT OF THE GARDEN touches on the three-year period after 1980’s GO TO HEAVEN was released, a time when the Dead were constantly on the road, playing more than 200 dates. While they were in no rush to return to the studio during this time, they continued to write new music. In 1982 and ’83, the band performed most of the songs that would appear on 1987’s IN THE DARK. The new collection includes performances of four songs from that album – “Touch Of Grey,” “Hell In A Bucket,” “Throwing Stones,” and “West L.A. Fadeaway” – plus the B-side, “My Brother Esau.”

    Due September 23rd, IN AND OUT OF THE GARDEN comes in a custom box featuring new artwork by Dave Van Patten celebrating the band’s eclectic fanbase, with a cavalcade of illustrated Dead Heads. The collection also includes detailed liner notes by award-winning music journalist David Fricke, who explores the band’s connection to the Big Apple. It features newly restored and speed-corrected audio by Plangent Processes, mastered by Jeffrey Norman.

    Hey thanks for sharing that Cousins. What an experience. What a show and Oakland in 76. I good time to be there I am sure. I have always favored 10/9 over 10/10, but they are both upper echelon shows.

    Who knows, maybe we will get another 76 show soon.

    A classic.. if not for 12/31 the best of the year (and maybe 10/9 was better??) 1976 is a very underrated year. Yes, it's uneven and inconsistent. But uneven and inconsistent is my favorite kind of Grateful Dead.

    First show? wowwy. Beats my first by a long shot but I'm not complaining one bit.

    10/9/76 - @Deadvikes

    That was the second day of my vacation in the US; the day before, I was reading the San Francisco Chronicle while having breakfast in my hotel downtown SF, and stumbled upon the ad for the show the next day.
    On that Saturday, I hopped on a bus to Oakland, scored a ticket from someone in front of the stadium($5, if I recall), and made my way to a seat in the bleachers.
    I had no idea who would open the show, until the opening notes of Promised Land; sound was a little low at first, but by Mississippi 1/2 Step, it was loud and clear. That 2nd set jam was magical, and the weather was great, a typical SF Indian summer day. Having managed to miss both the '72 and '74 European tours, I had no expectations as to how they would sound, but oddly enough my first thoughts was that they sounded just like they did on the Skull & Roses LP.
    I had seen the Who before(in France), and their show that day was their typical set, with hits and a large portion of Tommy included; Keith Moon was incredible, as expected; a great show for sure, but the highlight of the day for me was the Dead, by far. I still consider this the best played GD show I attended. I moved to the States a year later and caught the December Winterland run.
    The box is superb, by the way.

    Hey Cousins,

    First show (s) were the October 76 Day on the Green shows. Wow! That must have been something. Would love to hear more about it. Did you also see The Who?
    Must have been quite the experience. 76 is such an interesting touring year for the Dead, with the return in June and the somewhat of a light schedule in late fall through their unbelievable New Year's Eve show. And the disappearance of so many classics. Was the crowd yelling Truckin, Casey Jones, China Rider?

    Anyway, still looking forward to this new Box and #44 next month. I am still thinking a four disc release from 91. And start 2023 with Kezar.

    Wheel keeps turning

    Same old same old… It’ll arrive when it arrives. Not a moment sooner and not a moment later.

    I’ve been “buying” from the GD website since the beginning and despite a self imposed boycott of a decade, still am.

    Everything has always turned up eventually. There is one exception, an order for Closing of Winterland and GD Movie on DVD with some extra music and stickers to pad my order. GD eventually sent a new shipment that arrived two days before the original. I felt awful. Contacted to say I’d return one lot, to be told to keep it and not to worry.

    The boycott came around the time the GD organisation handed over to the “new” keepers of the keys. An order I placed months before release had failed due to an expired card. What galled me was that “they” never got in touch to give me a chance to make it right. Just cancelled the order and thus I missed out on the bonus discs etc. that the preorder included. What really got me was that in reply to my enquiry as to why the thing had been cancelled, I got a very terse email that included the line “It’s not down to us to manage your finances”. That irked. A lot. So that was me done with that for a loooong time. Not until the “Get Shown The Light” box did I break. Amazing how one will cut off their nose to spite…

    So, no complaints here. I’d rather have a finished and complete package than something shovelled out of the door to meet an arbitrary deadline.

    To finish, I have to “big up” Dr. Rhino and Co. who recently arranged a replacement disc for a Spring 1990 box set that I purchased from a charity shop a few months ago! They had absolutely zero responsibility to do so. Yeah the disc had a manufacturing fault, but man, over ten years old and second hand? Not only did they send a replacement gratis, they did so in a matter of weeks and with no questions asked.

    I think it’s safe to say that these folks genuinely intend the best outcome for all, and wouldn’t have some of the issues they have if their goal was simply to monetise it and ship it out the cat flap! This listener believes they give a sh*t and will always try and make things right where they can.

    Don’t forget, we only really see the less than positive experiences here. I don’t recall seeing 14,992 positive responses to balance the 8 bad luck tales for instance. And yes, it sucks to be in the wrong end of a SNAFU, but patience usually rewards the wait.

    Nuff said.

    The Halloween '92 JGB set will be a good one. Caught the Dead a few weeks later at Compton Terrace for the return of Here Comes Sunshine which was cool. The '90 shows were great too and was also there.

    On the 23rd one can pick up the latest Joni Mitchell remastered box, containing new remasters of For the Roses, Court and Spark, Miles of Aisles, and The Hissing of Summer Lawns. It doesn't look like there is anything in the box BUT the remastered studio albums, but there should be a forthcoming live/outtakes box that accompanies the years covered by these albums. Vinyl version, too . . .

Does anyone know what the source is for these shows? Cassettes? Edison wax cylinders? I imagine the sound quality will be at least acceptable otherwise would they dare to put out a 17 CD box. Don't answer that. 😬

I am a huge fan of these 81 shows and have known the 9/21/82 show a long time and dig it pretty well too. Happy to see this come out as a box.

I have to admit though, I am a little disappointed that they didn't try another matrix like 11-30-80. The Glassberg tapes from the 81 shows outshine the SBDs in many ways. I think the DaP 8 matrix sounds superb and wish they would have done that here.

Wah wah wah - signed, another picky deadhead

For me personally, although there is some gold in these there MSG hills, my first impression is I may pass on this full box, on cost alone. Converting my local pesos into USD, and adding in the international shipping - which blows at the best of times, no matter what gets charged - I may pass on this one. Too bad, but thems the breaks.

To those that do get it, I hope it is a killer box set.

I like this format for these boxes being three years from a city or venue. A bit more affordable and packed with a lot of music. Covers a lot of ground from the era. Seems like ages between box set announcements from last year's. Dave's Picks from 69 looks great too. Incentive to subscribe.

I'm a subscriber so it's no biggie, but the page for Dave's Pucks 43 doesn't seem to work. Did it crash?

It's about the music, obviously, but when the artwork on the package is not to one's taste—in this case not at all, horrific IMHO—it's an instant turn off. Hope the music inside really sings.

I've always wanted 9/21/82 (first show I ever attended) to be released, but after a while I came to doubt that it would ever happen. The show opens on a spectacular note (a strong Playin'>Crazy Fingers??!!) and the level of energy and improvisation at this show are quite notable for any performance during the Band's last 15 years. Some of the song selections are quite melancholically expressed, and others are exuberantly played. I've always thought that Jerry and the drummers in particular were on fire that night. The encore, US Blues, is one I've come to realize as more likely to follow a strong performance. But- no question there's a number of stellar examples of the repertoire in it. No question I'm getting this one. That being said, while I'll be thrilled to get the official release and improved soundboard recording, there's a great matrix rendition of this show online which fans of it shouldn't miss.

I didn't jump on this one right away, but eventually conceded. I would have gladly paid the $179 for DaP43 over this box set.

To me the highlights are the 83 St. Stephen out of Space (clearly) and the 81 Deep Elem. But, I figured that this era is underrepresented in my catalog, so why not give it a shot. With that, my collection of C.C. Riders and Day Jobs will now be way overrepresented.

Yea, the artwork is definitely sub-optimal.

I've been waiting quite a while for more '81, especially these two. March 10 being an absolute craklin' wildfire. While I enjoy 70's GD a little more reined in, not so for the 80s. It's a thicker sound that works more from the overall groove then the individual notes. So less need to keep an eye over the shoulder. In some respects, more akin to 60's primal Dead.

No digital download option?

I too am a little disappointed they didn't try for matrix recordings. That Dave's Picks 8 is one of the best sounding shows that have been released imo. I feel like they could do some amazing work with the cassettes and some good auds. But alas. This fills in a nice gap in my collection and I love the '81-'82 stuff i've heard. Excited for this one - something different. I'll wait to judge the artwork until I have the set in hand. I hope all the 80s fans are grateful for this one.

And we get the '69 people were predicting in the form of two shows in the new Dave's Picks. Great day to be a dead fan!

Sonically, other than the plangent treatment, the better matrix ones really have it all. While soundboards can sound really good, given the choice, I've tended to prefer the ambience and 'you are there in the audience' quality of the better crowd recordings- especially for 80s shows, a number of which I attended. Yes, the soundboards are much closer to that 'on stage' experience, but since (surprise!) I was never on-stage during a Dead show, I don't have the same deep emotional/nostalgic connection to the soundboard 'ambience.' Plus, and I find this much more with the two-track soundboards (vs multi-track ones), the sense of crucial depth-of-field presence I associate with live music is basically missing. Two-track soundboard recordings can still blow my mind, but excellent multi-track, crowd, and matrix recordings (in that ascending order) still more so. Still, I'm more than grateful for what we get, official releases or not.

5Branch- Surprised to see the digital option on both the box and the single show breakout.
I don't think my little computer could handle it! So I'm still a physical product buyer.
Besides I've got to fill that CD cabinet I bought last year.

Re-mastered from the original 2-track tapes I'm guessing? GD 2-tracks are generally better than ANYone else's multi-tracks, but they can still be lacking. As always, hoping there is plenty of guitar in the mixes.

Yes. Big Yup! I love the Dave's 8 Matrix and given what we know about some 80s soundboards, cassettes, etc., matrixing the whole lot would be a great idea. Someone mentioned Dr. Barry Glassberg's tapes as a good source and I do agree with that. I'll be happy either way though.

3/9/81
3/10/81
both are fantastic
9/20/82 I have never heard
9/21/82 I have heard but don't remember much about except the opening numbers (it's been years)
10/11/83 is joyous
10/12/83 I have never heard

Well done, PTB. Well done.

If you pass this one up, that's your business. But you are passing up some true gold.

GOD BLESS THE GRATEFUL DEAD!!!

Jamming "Draggin' the Line," by Tommy James and the Shondells. Groovy man.

Excited for this purchase - not my fave era (Jerry super high) and cassettes - so I haven't heard quite as much.

Fresh for the ears, looking forward to another premium package from Rhino. Don't think there could be a better company to curate the Dead's legacy. I feel blessed.

One of my old partners in crime, Dave R from Rockland County, was a really good taper and a classmate of mine at Duke. He and I would make copies of the shows he recorded on his Sony rig. Can't remember what mikes he used, but they were state of the art at the time. I had a Tandberg TCD 310. First gens off the master for me. That Tandberg was the best deck I ever owned. The run he did (Stanley Pittsburg, Cole Field House, MSG, Boston, and Utica) is absolutely primo. Which brings me to 03/09 and 03/10. These two shows were immaculately recorded by Mr. Dave R...his best effort IMHO. For me, the Rhythm Devils portion of both shows are the stand out. Maybe it's those JBL L45 Flairs withe the 15" woofers. Just like Kodo Drums!
Mrs. Big and I still get get a kick when Bob sings, during "Satisfaction" a confusion that comes out like "And I'm riding my TV". We'll see how these master cassettes stand up to the Dave R tapes. Where are you, Dave?

Yeah, I remember the artwork for Dave's Picks 1 really didn't do it for me at the time and I passed on the series for the first couple of years. Not a mistake that I will make again.

I'm glad to get some early '80s shows, but I am hoping the box is a compact size as my wife made yet another comment related to her feeling that my CD collection has sprawled beyond all reason and takes up too much space in the living room when I told her about ordering this box.

Tommy Shondell, nice. Picked up a small box set of just about all his stuff within the last year or so, The Complete Roulette Recordings of Tommy James and the Shondells 1966-1973, lots of good stuff on there including Draggin' the Line. Crystal Blue Persuasion was the song that first really caught my attention for Tommy James, that song just melts my mind in the most pleasant way. Trivia for you readers out there, in the book Sideways, Miles sang Crystal Blue Persuasion while doing karaoke early in the book, hanging with Jack and Maya at a bar in Napa Valley. OK movie, but great book. If you are, were, or may become a middle-aged guy, that book is worth a read, even if you saw the movie.

This is from my days on the road so I'm a happy camper. I look at the set list and they seem "normal" :-)

I like the cover art and I think it will great in hand in album size. This is an album cover that wouldn't work on a cd. The Black Album title might have worked and not already taken by two lesser groups !!!

But the Dead title is spot on, same as Listen to the River.

Thanks for the heads up. Interesting that Dave included one of the shows from the new box in the article - he's a sly fox...

Looking forward to an 80's Spanish Jam!!!

Nice selection of shows, now what source did they use? cassette tape? is this gonna be a matrix with some audience mixed in? who did the recording of these, I'm thinking Healy but just maybe someone else? As previously mentioned there are great audience recordings of these shows and they would really add life to these sound boards if that is what they used as their source.
I think I will wait and see how this one sounds before I plop down 180.00. Like Dennis, these are my glory days, and Jerry was on fire back then. I was at an 82 show in Nov and what I remember is that the band was fast and rockin and the blotter was speedy. Fond memories of these early 80 shows.

The good: I had a 20% discount coupon code.

The bad: For the first time in 20 years one Euro is worth less than one dollar, making this box just that much more expensive.

The bizarre: $70 for international shipping. Will it be sent across the pond using a trained dolphin or will they rent space on a cartel submarine. How can anyone justify charging that much for shipping?
