    "We were in the Pacific Northwest...between somewhere in Washington and some other where in Oregon. The road took us to the lip on a ridge, from where we could see around us for many miles in all directions … It was breathtaking to behold, but as we watched, we had a firm realization that we were witnessing something even more beautiful than our eyes could ever take in … Life causes life. Heaven and Earth dance in this way endlessly, and their child is the forest. And so there we were, epiphanously watching that grandest and most glorious dance of life—of which we are just a tiny part—awed by a magnificence without beginning, without end..."

    Bob Weir, “Sell Headwaters—Everyone Wins,” San Francisco Chronicle

    The Pacific Northwest offers up a rich feast of land, sky, and water. It is ripe with influences, abundant with symbols, deep and spirited. It should, therefore, come as no surprise that the Grateful Dead played some of their most inspired shows on these fertile grounds. It does, however, sometimes take a breath for the elements to re-align years later. It seems for us, they finally have and we are able to present not just a glimpse of the band's extraordinary exploratory tour through the region, but a two-tour bounty as the PACIFIC NORTHWEST ’73-’74: THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS.

    For PACIFIC NORTHWEST ’73-’74: THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS, we've paired two short runs made up of six previously unreleased shows - P.N.E. Coliseum, Vancouver, B.C. (6/22/73); Portland Memorial Coliseum, Portland, OR (6/24/73); Seattle Center Arena, Seattle, WA (6/26/73); P.N.E. Coliseum, Vancouver, Canada (5/17/74); Portland Memorial Coliseum, Portland, OR (5/19/74); and Hec Edmundson Pavilion, University of Washington, Seattle, WA (5/21/74). Each show has been mastered in HDCD from the original master tapes by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering. The transfers from the masters were transferred and restored by Plangent Processes, further ensuring that this is the best, most authentic that these shows have ever sounded.

    PACIFIC NORTHWEST ’73-’74: THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS comes in an ornate box created by Canada’s preeminent First Nations artist Roy Henry Vickers (more on this tremendous artist soon). To complement the music, the set also includes a 64-page book with an in-depth essay by Grateful Dead scholar Nicholas G. Meriwether and photos by Richie Pechner.

    Due September 7th, this release is limited to 15,000 individually numbered copies and available exclusively from dead.net. You'll want to grab a copy while you can and sit back, relax, and enjoy all the exclusive content we'll be rolling out over the next few weeks.

    Looking for something a little more byte-sized? The collection will also be available for HD digital download in FLAC and ALAC, exclusively at dead.net, on release day. You can pre-order it now too.

    Get it while you can.

    I have said it before, the complete 10/74 recordings need to be released. It will right a wrong that was perpetrated as early as 1976 .

    Jim not only 9/9, 9/10, 9/11, but all 5 of the October Winterland shows. (August 4,5,6) and ( June 16, and 18), and (June 26 and June 28).. So 15 out of 40 possible shows were released but not the whole shows!! Let's hope for a future release of Europe 74, or the October 74 Winterland complete shows!!

    73 jams

    12-10-73 from the download series has a lovely, long and liquidy 20 min. Playin' to close out the 1st set. It would make for an excellent side on a Record Store Day release someday.

    The more I listen, the more I love long and liquidy Playin's, and Eyes. Those two stand right up there with Dark Stars and Other Ones as jam vehicles.

    Also, wanted to note that I, like a lot of you, found that several of my discs from this box don't play cleanly. However, I've found that in every case they ripped cleanly, and the digital files play just fine. So that's just how I've listened. If you're having trouble with getting replacement discs, try that.

    Peace Out

    No puns intended. 4/21/72, they bust into "The Other One," with a ferocity seldom heard. Beat Club, Bremen, West Germany. There's so much about that tour that is just mind melting and this is a prime example.

    I love the 1973, 1974, 1976 stuff, and I've been dipping into that lately as well, and then this came on.

    Just... holy shit.

    Yes, they butchered Dicks Picks 7. One of my early favorite releases (add 12 to the same list).. it suffers horribly from the chop job they did. They seemed to really like to tear up 1974, the WOS road trips was similarly butchered. I would have enjoyed getting those three shows as a box set.

    It is true that 1974 suffers from not always having continuous flow and an inconsistent set structure.. but we would have benefited from the full show treatment. That Dark Star > Morning Dew from the night before resonates, glows and smolders like an erupting volcano.

    1974 Ultimate Show

    Ok, I love all of 1974... released but not really is September 11, 1974 Alexandra Palace. What i think sums up the whole year, especially the Europe show is this follow sequence. Ok the end of the first set, Playing in the Band, 23.24 minutes.... Followed by Phil and Ned at 11.39 minutes, pure Phil and Ned.... Here is where it gets awesome, Seastones at 30.40 minutes with lots of Jerry early on, around 23 minutes you can here Eyes of the World!! The 18.03 Eyes with Ned playing electric piano is just sooooo good. Then 3.07 minutes of Stronger than Dirt into a 13.10 minute Wharf Rat.... So 1 hour and forty minutes of pure Jazzy 1974 Bliss...

    I'm also ok with heavy '73…

    I'm also ok with heavy '73-ness in the upcoming years. Would also like the 2nd half of '72 in there and the two '74 Dark Star shows that have yet to be released.

    I didn't care for U.S. Blues for a very long time, and then I saw that crowd shot from the Grateful Dead Movie where they're singing along from the first few rows, going nutso. Then I thought whoa, steady boy...what did you miss here? And then when DaP 13 came out, I got into that particular version. There's something about that one I like, but not too many others capture it (whatever "it" is). I think the Road Trips '74 version was the other one. I don't care much for the post-hiatus versions at all. From '76, I find Road Trips 4.5 and DL Series pretty good, but for the most part everything attractive about the tune is lost in the post-hiatus polish (1, 2 buckle-my-shoe). But I know what you mean Jimbo - I can't get into One More Saturday Night from any era.

    The China Cat Sun Rider's from '73 / '74 are also high on my list of go to songs for that era.

    '73 Redux

    I would go so far as to welcome an official release of 2/9/93, Maples Pavilion, Stanford.

    It's far from the best of the '73, and if I am correct.. they blew out the PA at some point in the first set, causing some major technical anomalies.. and the performance is far from the top 10. Still, it's unique, quite good and bordering on historical. They Eyes of the World (the first and into China Doll), is what made me think to write this, is unique. A lobbing, meandering, bit of a art in progress. The China Rider is noteworthy also.

    It's a classic.. and back to the Eyes.. what a great way to welcome in the Wake of the Flood material. Seven new songs that night. P.S. I loathe Wave That Flag, sorry to all that like that song, simply doesn't resonate with me.

    A very good evening in Palo Alto and I think release worthy.

    The next five or so years will be 73 heavy. I'm ok with that.

    Eyes of the World

    I played 18th September 1974 Paris earlier this week, too-and-and agree-beautiful Eyes. I too enjoy the 1974 Eyes more than other years-with 1973 coming a close second. Incidentally-slight vocal drop out again on a couple of songs-I wonder if this was a feature of 74 shows?

    I have also just been listening to the second set 0f Omaha 5th July 1978 second set-and the Estimated-Eyes jam there is superbly played. They always seemed to play it a tad to quickly for me from 1976 onwards-but this one hits the spot. Excellent tone on Jerrys guitar, and nice jazz chords towards the end of the jam. I also liked Phil's solo leading into drums. This is a show completely off my radar-maybe overshadowed in my mind by the big hitters-7th and 8th July- to come? A bit like so many of the Europe 72 shows, something of a hidden gem. All box sets have nuggets in them that I can initially overlook through the sheer volume of music available and from me focussing on the best -or best known- shows in the collection.

Cheese and crackers, still going on about Catholicism? Great joke Vguy!! I haven't posted much since January 2017, but to move off that topic, I will bring up my recent revisit with Dick's Picks 16-- 11/8/69. I don't go for hyperbole very often, but this just might be the best Grateful Dead show in the band's history. There was banter on here a week or so ago about that gig, but I had loaded it onto my phone a couple of weeks prior, but hadn't gotten around to it yet. My commute is very different this summer as I am taking my soon-to-be 4 and soon-to-be 8 year old kids to daycare. My peaceful 25 minute commute is no longer my time of solitude and figured 11/8/69 was not right for the kids. Threw it in last night for my drive to/from softball and finished disc one with the kids this morning. Dark Star-Other One suite will be on the ride home-- the kids will love it! :) Going through the songlist refreshing my memory, that show is astounding. As I would go down the page, oh yeah, big Caution... oh yeah, Lovelight encore. Oy ve!! Turning the kids on in about 20 minutes! I haven't pulled the trigger on this box set yet. Looks great, but right now I just don't need more stuff. My hope for DaP 27-- goodness please, not 1976. I recently retried the Orpheum 76 release (DaP 18) after shelving it shortly after release and had to stop listening after a couple tunes. I am with Forensic Doc-- 1976 is GD on valium. I think they picked up steam in the fall (Day on the Green shows are great as is New Years), but those summer shows don't do it for me. I hope this had effectively changed the subject.

Hunter S. Thompson was an American treasure, like Hemingway. Yes they were rough around the edges and extremely politically incorrect. As if that's a problem. I just finished the Joel Selvin book. I believe I was the first to speak of it here. I wasn't in any great hurry to rush through it and it was boring. I've devoured most of the rock biographies out there and this one had precious little dirt. Selvin took the high road. He did seemingly have an axe to grind against the Leshes, but whatever. After what Phil has been through, I try to overlook some of the micromanaging. The best part of the book would be the play-by-play of Fare Thee Well. Having attended the shows, I more or less agreed. My axe to grind is Trey. He brought too little too late, energy, phrasing, pacing - all of it. The lead guitar chair was offered to him and he was mostly a shrinking violet. I've seen him wail like a man possessed with Phish - only a few times, they're not one of my bands but I had to experience it to form an educated opinion. I think he was just a little intimidated, under-rehearsed and not wanting to step on toes. Who would want to receive the obligatory tongue-lashing from Jill Lesh? No one, it would seem. Which will lead to my brief John Mayer sell. This guy doesn't have any issues with going out and playing Jerry Garcia in the band. He sings and plays and wails his ass off every night, uninhibited, confident, inspired. John Mayer has righted his career and cemented his legacy as no longer a goofball joke pop star, but a real musician, generous, talented, and keeping this ship afloat. Can't wait for the Boulder end-of-tour shows. Oh, and Water World was a blast. \m/

I would have looked up the good Mr. VGuy, but it was a core nuclear family thing (celebrating twins' 21st birthdays). Valley of Fire and Red Rock Canyon are magnificent, people. if and when you go to LV again, drive your car or rent one, and go to these two places, and then drive through the Nevada desert. c'est magnifique. Did you know it gets hot in LV? 106 degrees, it was. seeing the GD on 6/25/94 was 116 degrees. the show sucked donkeys. the next night was one of the top three of 94, but I had to return to Seattle, and didn't attend.

Spearmint Rhino. The steakhouse in the Fremont casino. The free nudie-cards the freaks hand out on the strip. Collect enough, make a deck. Winning $1,000 on a Wheel-Of-Fortune slot at the Excalibur, and another $500 at the Golden Nugget. The wave pool at Mandalay Bay, and the sand in your toes. Driving through Hoover Dam re-construction, coked out of our very minds and holding an ounce; having the elderly cop on duty at the checkpoint shine his flashlight in our faces and saying, "have a GREAT time, gentlemen!" as I got the hell out of there knowing an angel was on my shoulder. This was like 4am in a rented white Malibu from Denver. Rick said as long as we had a white car (and were driving across Utah, a virtual rolling felony), they'd never nab us. He was right. Taking the chopper ride at night bombing down over the strip and knowing I never wanted to be in a helicopter ever since Stevie Ray and Bill Graham crashed and burned, but doing it anyway. Getting dumped off from a limo at the Bellagio on New Year's Eve, and going in with my boy Bruce dressed up like Hunter S. Thompson, white Chuck Taylors, hawaiian shirt, cigarette holder. All that shit. Flask in hand, hash smoke bellowing out like Cheech and Chong. Go Raiders. \m/

...to whoever recommended 19th October 1973. I was so unfamiliar with it, I wasn't sure what kind of release it was-Daves Picks?, Road Trips?-I finally found it among my Dicks Picks, as you might expect. But a great show, and a pleasing harbinger of what's to come. The absolute peak of the show, for me, is "Eyes of the World". Perfectly placed late in the set, it gains momentum and energy as it develops-without losing its jazz like feel. This was one song that seemed to peak early in the bands career-the versions from 1973 and 1974 are beautiful. I notice there are three "Eyes" on the new box set, too. One from 1973 and two from 1974-all similarly placed towards the end of the sets, when the band was already, most likely, firing on all cylinders and deep in the zone.

That must have been incredible. The guy who used to set up my guitars talked of seeing him at a small festival here in England sometime in 1967-and said he could easily of gone up to him to talk to him after his set-he was just milling about like an ordinary person. Last year I went to his old flat in London, that has been lovingly restored to how it approximately was when Jimi lived there. It has some of his guitars, photographs and old album covers representing his record collection. Its like going to a modern church, in a way.

Glad to see Hitmeister give this one a shout out. The only thing I ever hear anyone say about this show is how they got a rough time from the Angels when they tried to bring alcohol in. No prob for me as that as never really a big draw for me. My substances were not liquefied! This was the last show ever at Colt Park. We had a blast and enjoyed the show very much. I loved the late afternoon / early evening shows in the summer. They start out in blazing sun and finish in the moonlight. I always felt like I had been there all day long! All I know is that somehow I ended up with a huge Japanese flag and I was waving it wide & high during the U.S. Blues final encore. I have a boot of this one and would love to see it Normanized. Rock on

That's my guess for Dick's 27. It has Sugaree in the 2nd slot, and is not too long after the 'Close Encounters' show for the alien tie-in. My 2nd guess would be an 82 show for E.T. Too lazy to look up Sugarees from 82.
