    "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 think that is a fact of streaming, but I don’t know for sure since I don’t stream.
    My car stereo does it too when playing from a usb flash drive.
    There is a music player app that plays the archive, but I don’t know it’s name and I don’t know if it has gapless playback.

    Archive Hiccups

    Yes.. there is that tempo busting pause in between songs. It doesn't bother me much as I mainly use the arrive to scout out shows and if I like them, I find a way to get an electronic copy. Most do circulate..

    Then again, the fade out at the end of a CD and the fade in on the subsequent CD doesn't really bother either and that's how they treat official releases when the jam absolutely has to stretch out between two CDs (thinking the Dark Star > The Other One on Dicks Picks 4 (one of the greatest releases of all time) for example....

    Check your PM, I do have some thoughts.

    Software for streaming recommendations, please.

    I am looking for software, that will allow me to listen to archive.org and other music sites. I want to skip that "hiccup" as China moves into Rider, as is switches tracks. Any ideas?

    Yes.. this is an issue with the master reels. It's there for the better part of four songs. Unless we can convince Garcia to come back and do some vocal overdubs.. it is what it is.

    PNW 5/19/74 first disk vocal tracks

    "Hello,
    I purchased pacific northwest when it was first released
    I had not had a chance to listen to all the shows yet.
    On the first disk of 5/19/1974 half way through sugaree the vocal track completely drops out.
    The rest of the disk to the end is the same way (no vocal track).
    Is this a source tape issue or a production issue?
    At one point (during Mexicali I think ) there is basically nothing but a drum track.
    I tried to look around on the site but have not been able to find the answer.
    Please advise."

    Above is the e-mail I sent to customer service.
    They didn't answer my question they just sent a reply about how to do a return.
    Does anyone know if this a source tape issue?
    I have attempted to return something once before and it was a complete nightmare that went on for almost a year.
    I would rather live with one screwed up disk than to battle with them for an extended period of time.

    What discs to check?

    Ok, I am really just now getting around to listening to the PNW box set...Really pressed for time, what discs are people getting skips on?

    So far I've identified a skip on disc 1 from 6/22/73 Jack Straw skips in the middle

    disc 1 from 5/21/74, "The Race Is On" seems to have some crackling or something on it towards the end when I play it back...

    Where are others seeing problems>?

    Hello Jack;
    Thanks for your response. Wasn't sure if this was a faulty disc or a recording problem. i did not see it mentioned anywhere including David's Seashore comments. I thought I may have missed it somewhere. I should not complain considering all the great stuff GD is putting out there and with Rhino's help. Happy New Year to you.

    Happy Trails.

    Happy NYE Deadland - what show's lined up for tonight?

    We gave my buddy the PNW vinyl for Christmas, he was thrilled with it, but probably never make it out of the shrink wrap. The majority of his DaPs are still in their shrink wrap and he may even have a Dick's not unwrapped as well. He procrastinated on the DaP subscription so he'll probably be SOL on those wonderful releases.

    I know some of you are tuning into the Phish NYE but was wondering what else people are lining up for NYE?

    Doing a quiet affair - some early Thai food and maybe do an early celebration so my daughter can have fun - then I'll probably don the headphones for some quality listening party for some NYE show. Leaning towards Cow Palace but closing of Winterland could be in order or both.

    Sorry I've been away, just waiting for the white background to be tie dyed or some trippy fractals grooving across the screen. Hope you're all well.

    Can't wait to see what get's released during the 50th of the Live Dead era - maybe re-release the FW box or some more of those shows on vinyl? Anyways should be a banner year. Still loving this boxset!

    Big Steve--

    That is not a disc issue, that is just a flaw in the original masters from the show.

    Nothing you can do about it but smile, smile, smile.

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!

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...

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.

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!

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.

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!

$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.

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?

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.

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!

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!

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
