    "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've had a wonderful bout of insomnia these last few nights and it's been an excellent opportunity for me to sneak down around 1, 2 or 3am, slip on the headphones, and dig into these goods. Last night I got to the last one of the box, Seattle '74, and I gotta tell ya, I was hanging on every snare-skiffle and tiger-lick coming outta those cans during that unwieldy raging monster of a PITB ... Shit, man. GOGD.

    Here is a tasty, date-appropriate palate cleanser for everyone who has been knee-deep in 73 and 74 for the last week or so (count me among that group)... If you dig 1970 Dark Stars, this one is prime. https://archive.org/details/gd1970-09-19.sbd.reynolds.97906.flac16/gd70… "Why, yes, Dave-- this WOULD make excellent bonus disc material for DaP 30!"

    In Donna's Defense
    Mostly lurker (a rule I follow says, "If you have nothing to say, shut up."), but decided today to put my head on the chopping block so you folks can kick it around a bit. I've had my own fun at Donna's expense in conversations with a Deadhead friend or two. But two things in her defense come to mind that I've not seen mentioned. 1. The consistency of what she tried to do on a given song, comparing performances, suggests she did what she was told or asked to do by the band. Doing it would have been a leap of faith on her part, but the tendency to take chances was integral to the Grateful Dead's DNA. 2. I know from experience that if one is playing an instrument, be it a voice or something man-made, the frequency range of the output of that instrument says much about likelihood of hitting that "sweet spot" where it sounds good and blends well with other instruments / voices (lower frequency output than itself in the "mix"). Hitting that frequency (the note) squarely is more difficult for the female singer because the target progressively shrinks as the frequency rises, and the result is usually hideous. Bonus comments (no additional charge): 1. Some have said she couldn't hear herself, which if possible (and with that massive sound system they had), could mean she leaned in closer to the microphone diaphragm to have a better chance of hearing herself (and adjusting). The result, if the mike gain wasn't adjusted, is she could have come off as shrill as well as sharp or flat. 2. There have been times where I've made notes in a loose-leaf notebook I keep to retain things I notice in GD performance recordings, where she's hit her pitch and sent it (forgive the pun) out of the ballpark - it sounded fine to me. That could be 1 time in 3, but still ... Ask me to cite an example, and I'd have to be home with that notebook to do it. Reputedly she was (and is) a professional singer who's made her living doing it for decades. She couldn't have liked the sound situation at live GD concerts herself, and developed her chops in more controlled conditions, so I'm inclined to cut her some slack. 3. If having idiosyncrasies of a voice like hers is the cost of having a recording with keyboard work by her late husband Keith, it might still be worth it (decide for yourself). The Godchauxs were a package. I really like Keith's earlier work on the mighty Steinway, including in this box set. 4. The trove of recordings we have access to doesn't lie - the problems are there. I have come to accept them as being a fact of life if I'm going to listen to this stuff. I'd rather have the recordings than not, and I can make my own jokes at her expense in private (but with subliminal empathy). So it goes ...

    Unkle Sam: Not much they can do with the mix on a 2 track tape
    These are 45 year old tapes that were 2 track analog tapes. There is not a lot they can do to change the mix of the tapes. They can just clean it up and enhance the sound. But, the mix is what the mix is. I am kind of actually enjoying paying attention to some of the other instruments that usually don't stand out in the mix (particularly Billy, as well as all the instruments in that '74 show that has a stretch of about 4 songs with all the vocals very low). We are very lucky and spoiled that they recorded as much as they did and as well as they did. Even so, there are still gonna be some less than stellar portions of tapes this old.

    I agree, Jerry is too low in the mix, but only in the 1973 shows. The vocals also come in louder than usual, so they seem to step on the music. This bothered me at first, but I'm getting used to it. Me and my uncle saw the dead several times from 72 to 74, and Donna was never that loud in the house mix that the audience heard. What we are experiencing on these CDs is not what audiences experienced. I don't know much about soundboard recording, but I know they never planned to release these as live albums. Maybe not enough attention to detail was made. Or maybe, since it is well documented that she could not hear herself on stage, Donna asked to have her voice raised in the recording, so that she could review it afterward and make sure that her blind voice was at least on key. I also read that the WoS required a new board for mixing. Maybe 1974 either represents a shortcoming of the new mixing board (as it pertains to recording the show), or perhaps Donna had access to the volume controls that made her on stage monitors louder, so that she could hear herself and perhaps that also affected the board recording. All speculation, but the important thing to take away is that this is not how she sounded at the show to the audience. Kind of a shame that the release of these tapes has blemished her reputation.

Though I was not at these PNW shows, I've placed my order. Also, I ordered the t-shirt! I love the First Nations artwork on it. David, will we ever see an official release of Eugene 1990? Those were two awesome shows as well as Brent's last shows in the PNW. Thanks!

Signed on here this morning hoping for an announcement and was not disappointed. Had my preorder in an hour before I got the email announcement. I was hoping for a boxset from '73, so this is about perfect, getting what I hoped for plus the shows from '74 as well, can't do much better than that. Plus the artwork looks excellent as well.

Every time I start to waiver about automatically subscribing to DaPs or automatically buying the annual box set release Dave keeps pulling these rabbits out of his hat. Last time it was GSTL. This one is pretty much exactly what I was hoping for. Ordering was scary easy, like "Did that just happen?" easy. Personal note...I always kind of secretly wish shows I was at get an official release. I was at 5/23/73, 6/29/73, 6/30/73, 7/01/73, and 5/24/74. Missed it by that much.

In case anyone from dead.net actually monitors these comments... As a long standing consumer of all things officially released (I even buy the things that I already had through alternative sources), I'm really torn between the very cool collateral that comes with the CD version, but really want the hi-def digital files. My 30 Trips USB Bolt was a nice compromise, but even at that, I got a different package than the CD version. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't trade my Europe '72 suitcase for anything, but if the files are mastered at 192/24, how can I feel good about ripping the CD's at 44.1/16? I really wish there was a away for me to buy the real box, with all of it's coolness, AND get the hi def files without spending almost $400. Think about it dead.net. Please think about it.

Between this and PHISH's Baker's Dozen box I was conflicted but this won out. Thank You Dave. This is a very good Box and the price is good. I love both bands but 500.00$ isn't worth that run and I loved it. Can't wait to celebrate this on my birthday. I cannot wait to hear that 45 minute Playing.

I don’t know if I could tell the difference. Fully Normanized Plangents already sound amazing in 44.1/16. But if I could tell the difference......I would be in a quandary. Replace everything with 192/24, or don’t bother since every year my hearing degrades anyway? I’m going backwards anyway, starting buying vinyl.

I have audio files in AIFF, ALAC, FLAC, and AAC 320kbps.Separate HD’s for each format, with backups. Need to be prepared for all scenarios and situations. My car will play a USB flash drive but only in lossy, so I use the AAC files in the car. Would seem that it wouldn’t be that hard for a factory car stereo to play lossless, but apparently Honda thinks that using 10-year old stereo technology is acceptable.

I can just picture Dave in the meeting with Rhino: "We have an idea for a 3 show '73 box in the Pacific Northwest, and a 3-show '74 box from the same cities, but we don't know which one to release.... they're both amazing..... (pregnant pause followed by silent smiles all around...) As for $160 D&C, I agree it's crazy, but the shows do not disappoint. Speaking of old, I saw a guy at Red Rocks '85 tell some folks he wanted $60 for his spare ticket, and he was suddenly surrounded by a small mob saying he was gauging: "How dare you!" I think he relented for $50, and he looked guilty as heck taking it as folks still shook their heads. Dead at Red Rocks $50!!!!!

Problem with physical though is your limited to 44.1/16 no matter what you do to it. With 192/24, I can still put it on a CD at lossy quality at least and play the high res tracks on my nice home rig. Just not sure how much high res will benefit 73/74 recordings.

That on the 6/22/73 show there was a very, very long Truckin.' In this official release it's 26:06 I knew that 5/21/74 had the one of the longest Playing In The Band at 47 minutes (46:59 here.) --- In the "How big is big?" department: Is this box in it's shipping container larger than the Complete Europe 72 suitcase in it's shipping container? Is this box bigger than the 30 Trips set in it's shipping container? I am 5' 6" and about 175 lbs. with a bit of a *bay window*/beer belly/pot belly. Is it bigger than myself? Or is it bigger than Phil Lesh? (the tallest of the boys)

KBM - you can buy and download dBpoweramp for around $40.00 and rip CDs to whatever format you like, including hi-def. I have ripped all my GD HDCDs to that format and use a DAC to get the most out of the music. If you download this software (you will get a lifetime license) and need help, contact me via PM and I can walk you through it.

I sure hope the fourth disc of the set, and last disc of Vancouver '73 has some hidden philler. I guess a 20+ minute Truckin' will make for some odd tracking....but still. Three short encore songs only?!?

There had been early speculation that it might be a 68-69 box with Pigpen.________________________________________________________________ 6 2 Six over two, which means 6 shows over 2 years _______________________________________________________________ B, No. Fourteen No. Fourteen is the “B” side to the "hit" single “Seven and Seven Is” by Love First 7 is for the decade, second 7 is for the 2 years (3 + 4) ________________________________________________________________ Said Stoltzfus would like the box because he called for a Dark Star (6/24/73), plus he lives in the Seattle area, smack in the middle of the show venues. There might have been more, like a subtle Canada reference, but I'm old and don't remember. That is all.

I'm listening to my copies of these shows; mostly matrix versions. The plangent-ized sbd two-tracks are going to sound two damn sights better than these (still-tasty) matrix recordings. These shows just shine. After Plangent, I'd suggest not looking directly at the box as its likely to shine so brightly as to cause damage to vision. Wish I had the scratch for this one. Mebbe I'll order it in a fit of delirium tremens before this box sells out!

I, for one, will be happy for a Disc 4 with only 22 minutes. I appreciate the concert in order ... and I'm gonna rip it anyway. There will be plenty here to love.
