"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.

Pacific Northwest Box set

I am excited to get this. I am looking forward to all of it. I am most excited about the 6/24/73 show. The reason is back in tape trading days this one really didn't exist.. My Dead Base VI has the second set incomplete and nfa>gdtrfb>nfa as the only 3 songs.... I sort of already know what disc i am going to listen to first... have a good weekend everyone.. be good bob t

Box Set Reveal

I wonder if this box is big enough to fit all the other boxesthat sit on my shelf and collect dust? The art is SO COOL! I wouldn't mind having this one on display, I'm just not sure what should go in it (since I'm old-school, the cd's are going on my CD shelf)

MUATM & THis bad ass box

What fun last night at MAUTM! There weren't many of us and the volume was low at first, but got better by the middle of the 1st set. we stood up and hooped and hollered between songs and sang along w/ IKO when Jerry told us to ... I enjoyed it thoroughly being there with a few buddies, but I am wondering why they would choose something already released on DVD. I love the show and have the DVD but am hoping that next year we get something we haven't seen released officially ... and then they can release it after and we'll buy it up. Something from Summer '91 perhaps!? PS -pumped for this bad ass box! Sept is going to rock!!!!

Box Set reveal

The MUATM was very nice and seeing a happy Jerry interacting with Brent was sweet. There was about 20 people in the theater, all quiet for the show, but watching a show in deluxe lazy boy seats is so cool. thought we had missed the preview, but it came at the end AFTER the final credits and will probably be on this page soon as the Artist information clip. it was a short but interesting introduction to artist Roy Henry Vickers, who had the box in front of him as he described the idea behind it. it started with Dave, and he states that the artist is responsible for all the interior art. they might have showed the top cover taken off and the book is the top layer covering the contents, maybe a smaller wooden box that reminded me of the Warlocks box flashed by, but then went back to the artist. it is probably on youtube already and they just need to link it to this page, it's a standard seaside chat type clip. the box is a little smaller than the 30 Trips box, and won't fit on my shelves where it deserves to be, so it's off to the storage room after ripping. this should help move more copies as it looks really nice and they stuck to the outside, so no unpacking or reveal of the CD holders/digipacks. could be laminated card board or pressed sawdust, but from the outside it looks as sweet as the 72 steamer trunk.

Sounds great!

I am so looking forward to this box. The description sounds awesome. No storage room for this prize in my house. I am going to buy a 4 foot fucking pedestal for it and place it where the end table in the family room is soon used to be.

Butch Bird Song 1972

You've picked a great song and a great time to chase it down in. This is probably one of my top five Grateful Dead songs. I like them all a lot. I think the Download Series one from July is my least favorite, only because I don't think it's quite as developed at that point (for example the opening chords aren't quite as sharply executed, and the jam section where Jerry solos is shorter). Veneta is hard to beat, because it's longest, it's multi-track sourced, and the playing is exceptional. DaP 11 is also up there with Veneta for me. That one came almost 3 months later and the playing is just so good from having performed it so much by that time. Jerry's solo at the 3 minute mark is divine. Just listen to how he begins it! And of course the three from 9/21 - 9/27 are all solid (Jerry's a wee bit lower in the mix at Waterbury / 30 Trips). I'm still digesting DaP 24. The enhanced bass production is distracting for me. Once in awhile I can tune it out or get the EQ just right. I can't overstate how much Bill the drummer brings to this song. He's all over it with the drum rolls and ride cymbal. And then of course he has his little drum fill during that brief instrumental break before they all come back in again. Legendary. I'm looking forward to the first officially released 1973 Bird Song, coming along on this PNW Box Set. I'm going with the Dark Star finale from Dick's Picks 16 this morning. Unbelievable how good Uncle John's Band Jam sounds. I used to cherry-pick this song out for mixes, but it's even better within the structure of the complete Dark Star.

Watkins Glen redux, RFK & The Stones

thanks for comments... striving to provide some feels like... we left the electric wild turkey with our new friends and neighbors, took over an hour to carefully wade out to the fringes, CKR was our code for Columbian Killer Reefer. Best thing available in Maine at the time. folks might not be aware that it is less than thirty miles between Watkins Glen and Cornell, each at the southern end of adjacent finger lakes talk about tripping reminded me of another event, will hop on the wayback machine ... a slightly out of control scene at my first Rolling Stones concert. Could have seen them in Baltimore in 1969 when my parents took my fourteen year old brothers ticket away from him after they figured out where he was headed, I said I would go, but in a perverse sense of fairness, they said if he can't go, we can't let you go either... Mom, Dad, its The Stones!!! Mother's little helper!! 17 at the time and would have driven there in a heartbeat. Get your Ya-yas out tour. So a quasi communal group of us dropped on our way down to RFK stadium on July 4, 1972 for Stevie Wonder and the Stones. Following the usual procedures, to enjoy and get the most of the experience, plan ahead for the right surroundings and people, have as much as possible set up for positive outcomes, a sober guide/monitor present if its a larger group. Not necessarily a large concert... We got in, found our seats, Stevie started to play but a lot of people weren't paying him much attention, he was back round for large scale craziness. Typical hot steamy DC late afternoon. What did get our attention was the tear gas trickling in from outside the stadium. Overly excited DC police were trying to stop people scaling the stadiums outside walls to get in free. Think about it, being up in the air over pavement, wall climbing and tear gassed, or inside admission paid and tripping and you get whiffs of tear gas. Whole sections of people got up and moved around to better air. Loud booing and jeering. DC police were pretty quick to use tear gas for crowd control back then, in the archives I have photos I took at Viet Nam antiwar demonstrations on the national mall and at the capital with smoking canisters flying every which way through the air. They herded demonstrators onto buses in those mass antiwar arrests and where did they take detainees for processing? Why RFK stadium of course. Fortunately the tear gas traces inside RFK that day were not horrific and passed quickly, the Stones eventually came out also at peak, Exile on Main Street tour, a great and long show and there were fireworks.... lots of fireworks

So, what do think about this one: Jerry 11/23/77?

So Jerry would have been 76 today, Happy Birthday, Jerry!We miss him to say the least. Actually this is one for the Jerry Garcia Archive. If you have this show, what do you think about: Jerry Garcia Band November 23, 1977 Palace Theater Waterbury, Connecticut, USA Audience recording - soundboard recording unavailable. Set 1: How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You) Catfish John That's What Love Will Make You Do I'll Take A Melody Simple Twist Of Fate Mission In The Rain SET 2: Let It Rock They Love Each Other Mystery Train Love In The Afternoon Reuben And Cherise Gomorrah Midnight Moonlight ENCORE: Lonesome And A Long Way From Home* A.) Inspired B.) Uninspired C.) This show is releaseable in the official GarciaLive release series. D.) This show is unreleaseable because it sux. E.) B-b-b-boring. F.) What a little blotter will do to give the listener the thought, "this is the greatest Jerry show ever!" G.) It wasn't the greatest, but for my former tape trading partner, Paul M. from Wolcott, CT., he had a great time with his GF - who is now his wife. *My copy does not have the encore.

Ordered!

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!

Excellent...

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.

As Usual....

You got me. Looking forward to this release. :)

I need another tee shirt like i need a hole in my head....

....but what the hell. It's just money.

Thanks

Thanks for the Amazon nod - pretty reasonable price too

well....I think '73 and '74

well....I think '73 and '74 will not be the other Dave's Picks. my box set fund of x-mas and b-day money still covered this spread. but im still pissed that someone stole 100 dollars in the mail from a card from a my mamaw as I found this mother's day when I visited her that day. hope you get caught and hope federal prison was worth it

ordered

Vguy - I thought the same thing on the Thelma T and missed out. Not missing out this time! Psyched for two more HCS to add to the collection!

Wow

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.

Not fixed yet...

Never mind I found my missing fish, Eric's a slippery bastard.

What to do?

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.

DONE AND EASY

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.

Yes, that was easy

No drama, no issues in the ordering process. Really looking forward to some high quality 73-74.

I'm a phish fan and I say

I'm a phish fan and I say fuck that phish box set

Thank you!

Very cool concept and admirable patience from Team Dead! Thanks and nice job to DL and all involved. The advance listen sounds amazing.

Booklet

Sorry to see Nick Meriwether is authoring the booklet. I'd rather read an analysis of the music by someone like David Gans or Gary Lambert than more tenured professor liberal drivel from St. Nick. Och weel , the music's the thing anyway. Definitely looking forward to THAT.

kyle harmon

Same here, Kyle. I was blown away by the price of that Phish box. This one on the other hand... I say Fuck Yess!! Ive got the phish bakers dozen sbd's if anyone is ISO

My reaction when i visited here earlier today

Don't Sell Out until Friday

I can't come up with that scratch until Friday. It better not sell out. I really don't wanna pay scalper prices.

192/24 FLAC or physical box/cds?

I'm having a hell of a time deciding between the higher quality audio download and the actual box, but CD quality. I'm usually audio quality all the way so not sure why I'm hesitant with this (?).

Flacs!

Downloads! Nice! I don't need, and I never look at all the stuff that comes in the box sets. Flacs all the way! Now all I need is more time in my life to give these amazing shows a proper listen(s).

I buy the physical and then

I buy the physical and then rip it on iTunes however I want. which is always ALAC, cuz FLAC is not universal, FLAC will not play on any apple products and wont even load on iTunes.

192/24

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.

$160 for D&C?

hahahahahahahahahaha $160. wowzers. and that doesn't include "service fee". all due respect to CJ. not you I'm mocking. it's the price. I remember (old man, look at my life, 24 and I fell on the floor) when $25 was considered high-priced for a GD ticket. LOVE THIS BOX SET. just gotta wait until September.

?

Hey for you guys that have bought t-shirts from GDM do the sizes run a little small or a little big? I've never bought a shirt here but this one has me tempted. Thanks.

thank you for the GIPHY kyleharmon

this box set is outstanding!!!

Buy physical, then load on HD

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.

Which Northwest box?

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

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.

I had forgotten... 6/22/73

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)

Use dBpoweramp

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.

via GIPHY

Please take it all in

One From the Vault was released in 1991, if you were trading tapes back then, and you could get 6 shows from 73 and 74 of the quality we are going to get!!! Thank you Dave..... bobt

How do you make a white

How do you make a white supremacist sweat?Give him a DNA test. WOKKA WOKKA!!!

That reminds me....

....what did bolo's Muppets clue have to do with this box set?

Disc 4

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?!?

Wow

By my count that's: 5 China>Rider 4 PITB 3 Other One 3 HCS 3 Eyes of the World 2 Ship of Fools 2 WRS 1 Dark Star 1 Bird Song My counting skills my be off but at first glance this is truly a gift. We are such a lucky group.

And, don't forget....

....three Money Money's. It's the magic number.

Thanks for that comment. I

Thanks for that comment. I totally agree!

Clues unraveled, sorta chronologically

Muppet video - spoof of the movie “Se7en” - 7 is for the 70’s, bacon in the box meant post-Pig (you get bacon after the pig has expired). 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.

Hooray for bolo24!!!

y'all be cool.

Plangent Process

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!

Disc 4

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.
