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.

30 Trips on Amazon

I think “cousins” is correct on the WarnerMarket amazon store selling these 30TATS all-music sets. They are selling them for $699 plus shipping. There isn’t any photos, but it makes sense they would be clearing out stock. Seems strange it wasn’t announced here on deadnet. Here is a link:30 Trips Around The Sun https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FYS8P4T/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_rFZzBb9FE2C24 Maybe send a message to the seller to verify first? It is a much better price than the $1200+ people are paying on ebay!

Eyes?

6/18/74 with a close second to 10/19/74. yes.. doing a little R&R in the Rockies this week and last. Was fly fishing in Idaho with some strange character named Olob, woke up a week later wearing nothing but my skivvies in the bushes of a five star hotel in Vail. After about a half hour mostly spent frantically running from hotel security.. I noticed a $20 bill duck taped to my ankle. Just enough to score a cheap pair of shorts and a t shirt, grabbed baseball hat from the hotel gift shop for good measure. Weird, but from what I recall I had a really good time. Rainbow colored Old Faithful. So true!

I suppose we could bait him. Uh..gee.... I wonder which version is better, the Eyes of the World from Dave's Picks 16 (3/28/73, Springfield, MA), or the one from Dave's Picks 21, just five days later in Boston?? There are also two very nice Playing in the Bands....

That’s our boy! Hee-hee, yas he’s probably hanging upside down, hand over hand, traversing on a rope high above some gorge, on the promise that across the gorge is enough bandwidth to properly stream GOGD..... Also, have not heard from brother Daverock in a while either? Tap,tap,tap, testing, is thing on? “Is there anybody out there?” BOX: just think sports fans, some of us could be lookin* at less than a month until ecstasy!! Yee-ha!

Oborious, I saw you asking about Jim's whereabouts. It's a good question. Did you try asking the crowd, which is better, DaP 16 or DaP 21? Jim's been known to turn the car around on that discussion point. It's a question that's baffled many of us since DaP 21's ominous release back in early 2016, but none more than Jim. He once held up a plane full of paratroopers operating under deep cover to post a comment on that topic. Rumor has it, it was his turn to jump but he couldn't get an internet connection...made the pilot drop down to 2000 feet under heavy flak so he could get a cell signal - nasty business, but if you really need to speak to him.....

1976 releases and last 5

My favorite from '76 is 12/31/76. Fantastic sound on that, and really good show. The Good Lovin'> (Here Comes Sunshine) Jam> Samson and Delilah is my favorite part. I label it a HCS Jam, because it sounds like one to my ears, like they remembered after almost 3 years how awesome that progression was, and just before it should go into the chorus it instead slinks into Samson. If they put out 8/4/76 (42 years ago today) that will leap to the top of the heap for '76 for me. Don't know if it would fit as a Dave's, but if they trim the tuning it might. The youtube video is 4 hours. Last 5 DaP 26 disc 2 String Cheese Incident 8/4/00 (my first SCI show) Phil Lesh Quintet 8/4/01 (dig the St Stephen> Eleven> St Stephen> Terrapin Station> Golden Road with the Terrapin coming in on an Arabic Jam and missing Lady With a Fan, kinda like DP 3, excepting Arabic stylings of course; Jimmy Herring was on fire throughout this show for any Jimmy fans) Gentle Giant Sight and Sound BBC 1978 DaP 27 Eta: https://archive.org/details/2001-08-04.paf.mg210-collins.hamilton.5159…

30 Trips - Retrowax

My guess is, these sets must be the ones WarnerMarket put up on Amazon last week; they must have been slated for eventual replacements early on, and now are just overstock being sold as all music edition(although not mentioned on Amazon.

DaP 18

I got into some Dave's 18 from the Orpheum '76. I guess it is a bit more mellow, but that doesn't bother me, I kind of like the change in pace. I did a play list and selected one of the medlies: Comes A Time / The Other One / Space / Eyes Of The World / Jam / The Other One, part II / GDTRFB. Then for the encore I tacked on the Help / Slip / Franklin from the opening night of that Orpheum run. The sound board audio is just about as good once the EQ is applied. It was as though Dave had provided the bonus tracks he should have :D That's enough '76 for now, but I do need to visit the PITB medley from DaP 18 soon. Phil and Keith lay down some serious foundation for Jerry to play lead to on the two Playing segments, and there's a Spanish Jam, Cosmic Charlie, and Wheel in there. Probably my overall favorite '76 release, but if put to the test, I'd have to go with DP 33 and that legendary Help / Slip / Franklin with the S&D in the middle. What's everyone else listening to? Stoltzie I think this box set is going to sell like hot cakes once it's released. I will be surprised if it's not sold out by Christmas. retrowax, I think the sealed 30 Trips CDs may have been sealed by the seller or some other secondary seller. I've never heard of Rhino factory sealing these.

30 Trips All Music Edition?

I don't know if this is the appropriate place to post this, but I'm seeing what appears to be some 30 Trips All Music Edition sets in eBay. Just the 30 shows each shrink wrapped. The people selling them are different sellers in different states, but they're all using the same pictures. Anyone know anything about this? Happy Trails

Nice

Yessssss....got my order in first with no troubles, finally the pre-order Gods have smiled on me! Luckily without having to go through PayPal, I've also managed to secure myself some time saving up after the charges drop-off. And I scored a ticket for the Dead and Co. show in Hartford tomorrow, what a fantastic lunch break!

Oh Yeah

Well that was an easy buy and no issues ordering can't wait to get this one 5/19/74 is a long time favorite

Can's sign up fast enough

for this gem.

Thanks Direwulf

Saw your comment on the other thread and ordered!!

What about 72'...

Very excited to see these getting the treatment. Wondering why the crucial 72' Seattle and Portland shows are not in this. Those 3 years(72', 73', 74') tell such a story and are the most coveted recordings in general. I am however very grateful...

Well that was easy

As much trouble as this has been the last few years--great work deadnet on this one going through smoothly

WoW

Well now this sorta came up out of the clear blue sky. Very nice. Sixtus

Very smooth

Yes, great job on this dead.net. Very excited for this release (19 CD's!!!!) Thank you Dave and team. Makes up for Dead and Co. not stopping near me this summer.

Spent $200 on my lunch break

Better get back to work! Haha

Love the art work for this

Love the art work for this box, to bad the above image was not the computer wall paper to download on check out.

Yay...ouch...

I had a feeling that I ought to check dead.net - and I ordered without hassle or second-guessing. Although the shipping to Canada made me cringe... (almost $70 CAD for shipping)...

amazing

absolutely amazing THANK YOU, PTB. :)))

Wow is right

Love love love this. We got our Summer '73 box! Summer dead always makes me smile, and 2 summers worth is a real treat. And the option of multi year boxes opens up the possibility of a multi year MSG, or Boston, Berkeley, Alpine, Shoreline,(enter any city here) boxes. Dizzying.... the possibilities.

Even I'm looking forward to this!

I'm always excited when a new release will be a great improvement over what I have. This looks like it will be that. I ordered both cd and vinyl. (don't tell the wife) On the ordering front,,, maybe it was so easy because it seemed to be on the downlow. I didn't (or at least haven't gotten one yet) an email announcement. Maybe they thought less splash would help "fans" get theirs before "ebayers". So, in the next 3 months, a new 45, Aoxomoxoa, DaP 27 and a box set! Wow, that large sucking sound is coming from your wallet!

Whoo Hoo

Wish I was a headlight.. on a North(west) bound train. Well, the next best thing, Providing the shipping gnomes treat me well, I will be transported there come September. Whoo Hoo. This looks to be a spectacular box. I decide to have some desert and scored the t-shirt too. The sun gonna shine in my back door someday (in September). ah yes, that sucking sound from the wallet. It hurts, but it should heal by September. Peace all.. Thanks Dave.

Fantastic !

Ordered. Now the waiting is the hardest part. Love this era of the Dead.

sweeeet!

Very cool! Ordered without hassle too! This is epic - thank you Dave and dead.net!

Jim in Md's T-Shirt

I feel like Hawkeye in MASH when he ordered from "Adams Ribs". The food got to Korea and a supply sergeant asked about the coleslaw and chided Hawk for going thru all the hassle to get ribs and NOT ordering the slaw. I didn't order the shirt! Back to the order page. Suck, suck, suck, suck, suck,,,, my credit card is bleeding from the spanking I'm giving it!

Sad but true dept.

$53.99 for shipping to Europe. It may be an oversize item, but for that sort of shipping price I would expect it to be delivered by private jet, not standard shipping. However, this is a not-to-be-missed item for sure.

Now the email has hit

I hope the ordering is going to continue being smooth for everyone.....

yum

sweet, indeed!

Raining box set

I just got the joke in the 3-CD "Believe it if you need it" condensed version: Box (set) of rain(y northwest)

NOT

"available exclusively from dead.net." We know that's BS. These will be on ebay for $1000 or more.

sweet

Is this the box set that was TBA at MUATM or is there another announcement coming?

Very nice!

Wow this looks like an amazing set! Can't wait. And yes very smooth checkout this time! Also good to see this being released as a download as well as the box (which I'm sure will be very well done).

Can never get enough

Just ordered the big box set as well as the 6LP show. Can't wait!

Saw the email and immediately ordered

The order went through quick and smooth even with using PayPal. Good job, dead.net! I’m going to need to carve out a serious chunk of time to get through 19 CDs.

"Can never get enough" Indeed!

WOW! Great News! Yes -- one just can not get enough of these live releases. I can not wait to have it my hands.

Order in....

check. Now I can leisurely listen to Dave's announcement.

ordered

:))) :))) :))) The OMNIPOTENT Grateful Dead

Allman

Now that would be something! Imagine conflating two box sets together just to confuse the hell out of us. That would be treat, showing up at MUATM and getting a reveal of not this box but ANOTHER release! Shipping says oversize item, I've got this one to be the best packaging presentation yet, going for another box set packaging Grammy I presume, eh Dead?

Shipping to Europe

My hands were just a blur on the keyboard when I realised this was available, so it didn't really register how much the shipping was. Its a lot..but its worth it! I'm wondering now whether to buy the vinyl for 19th May 1974, seeings as how it can be ordered on Amazon.

Store in now open..

Come on in take off your skin and rattle around in your bones.

Why? Why? Why?

Did they pick the most boring show of the bunch to press to wax?!

$54 for shipping to the Netherlands, snif...

The box must be Spring 1990 sized. Although I think that was still cheaper in shipping. Oh well, what's not to like with 6 amazing pre-hiatus shows. Now, complete a terrific year with a 60's DaP and a 90's DaP, I say!

Pre

Ordered HAPPY HAPPY Tuesdday DEADLAND

Sweet

This one is going to be a real treat. Honestly, I was going to be excited about any new box. Thank you Dave & Co!

Totally worth the wait...

So... I'd been patiently waiting for the box set announcement, and this DID NOT DISAPPOINT! These shows are all really good. The Vancouver show from 6/22/73 (my 3rd Birthday, I might add) is absolutely top-notch. To me, it's in the same conversation w/ Veneta, Cornell, Englishtown, Bickershaw and acoustic/electric shows at the Fillmore East. I cannot wait for this gem to show up on my porch! Peace, brothers and sisters. 10 days until Alpine Valley!

Cool

Awesome do we get a discount?

Dave’s Next Pick

Now that we know the release of the box and many of us have ordered, let’s start taking about a what the next Pick Dave will give us. I am thinking 09/26/91. Time for a Bruce and Vince show.

Preordered 19 CD Box.

Finally the beautiful PNW gets some belated official retail Plangent/Full Norman love. So freaking stoked!

Justify my purchase

Looks like an awesome box & it was easy to pull the trigger since I won a couple of hundred bucks on Justify in the Belmont Stakes on Saturday. Great horse & great timing for a great box set. Honestly, I would have bought the box anyway, but having that extra cash made it much easier
