    "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.

    Donna dis-likers and free jazz
    Many years ago, somebody told me that Donna's wails especially in "Playing In The Band" remind him of Ornette Coleman's style of free jazz. OK, throw Eric Dolphy and Freddie Hubbard in for good measure. Bottom line: For the most part, I like Donna's singing with the GD.

    probably a minority report, but
    Listened to the first show, got past the skips. If I find anymore skipping or scratched discs, I will return this box for a complete refund. Am I the only one who thinks Jerry is very low in this mix? Bobby and Phil and Billy are all very present, but Jerry and Keith are low, audible, but very low. Is it because they are the surviving members and want to reinforce their "legacy"? Oh yeah, Donna is also up in the mix too, and I can do without her screaming into the mics. My wife, who is not a big fan of 1970's dead said, "who is that screaming?" I informed her it was Donna and she said, "now I remember why I don't listen to 70's dead, why did they let that woman scream like that?" Bobby is especially high in this first show from 73, I like Bobby's playing but I came for Garcia and, well, I wish he had been up in the mix vs the others. Will Jerry be put in the background in future releases? If so, I'm out. Don't think I'm going to do any more preorders either, I will wait from now on and get a listen to the sounds before I buy, then I won't get buyers remorse and imagine what could have been instead of what is released. I hope the other shows have Jerry up front where he belongs, if not, there is another reason for a return for a refund. I would keep it and resell on eBay, but I don't think this box will command the resale value that the others have, especially E72 and the Spring 90 (TOO) box, both good quality mixes. Sorry to be a downer, but I personally think they could have done better, at least on the first show. Now, on to the second show with expectations a bit lowered.

    A bowl of tobacco...a "fresh cup of coffee"...and the NW book
    Got up this morning...filled my Jerry Garcia meerschaum pipe up with some Peter Sokkeby's Cube Cut tobacco...fixed myself a fresh cup of coffee...and "finally" sat down and read the book that came with the NW box set. As I have noted earlier...I like the tactile feel of paper....I'm old! Reading this book from a downloaded PDF file would NOT give me the same sensation(s).There is something about turning a page and having a few seconds to think about what one has read that gives me solace. I found it very insightful. I did not know much about Bobby Petersen's poetry. Looked it up on the net and got his book of poetry... Leaving Taos. Looking forward to reading itIt was nice just looking at the pictures...artwork...and reflecting on my own life during this time period. Learned a lot that I did not know about the Dead. If you have not bought the box set I would put a plug in for doing so. The artwork is...wonderful! Obviously, we buy it for the music but I think the box/book help make it an "experience" to enjoy! I understand the issue of having the space in your home/apartment. Maybe it is time to "clear out" some other stuff to make room for it. I do not think you will be disappointed. The music, in my opinion, is wonderful. It is great to have all of this to listen to in almost perfect condition. Sure beats the old cassette tapes...hiss and all! Enjoy your week.

    Re: Acid Washed Genes
    Thanks Anatexis.. an interesting read. It does not appear Stanley I is tripping in the picture, but he has this look of confidence like he could handle it.. almost like Bring It On! There is a link in the article referring to the original article regarding the 1919 triple murder in Kalorama that is most fascinating also. It appears both Stanley's changed American history.. for the better I might add. Thanks again, I learned something new. Each day should start this way.

    While reading the Washington Post this morning...
    While reading a column about telecommuting in the the Washington Post this morning I came across this little nugget: Acid-washed genes A photo with my column last week on the 1919 triple murder in Kalorama that’s the subject of a new book caught the eyes of several readers. Sitting with the accused, Ziang Sung Wan, was one of his lawyers, A. Owsley Stanley. Now, that’s a name you probably haven’t heard before, unless you are a Grateful Dead fan or dropped a lot of acid in the 1960s. I suspect there is some intersection between the two groups. Stanley was a congressman, U.S. senator and governor of Kentucky. His namesake grandson, A. Owsley Stanley III — nickname: “Bear” — was among the first to synthesize and mass-produce a potent form of LSD, more than a million doses, by some estimates. He was a central figure in Tom Wolfe’s “Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test.” In addition to furnishing the hallucinogen to members of the Grateful Dead (and other bands), Stanley III also designed the Dead’s famed touring PA system, a woofer- and tweeter-filled behemoth known as the Wall of Sound. Stanley III died in a car crash in Australia in 2011. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/the-problem-with-telecommuting-som…

    Thanks for the heads up about the information available, but I've studied those ones before. Definitely will be buying a copy of Blairs book, not sure how I missed that one, does it g dr. T into specifics like order of effects processing and signal paths? I guess my request was more a matter of convenience, was hoping Dead.net would start including that information for me so I wouldnt have to go digging every time :)

    Jerry Garcia .com has a section about Jerry's guitars and timeline. May not answer your questions show-by-show, but pretty comprehensive. https://jerrygarcia.com/guitars/ So far this box set has been a joy to listen to. Will be a while before I work through the whole box, but a very nice addition officially released shows. An idle wonder: the details say Rex recorded the first two shows, Kidd the other four (including one from 73) - ABCD provided the first two shows (from Betty's stash presumably). I wonder if the listed recorders are known or just assumed based on where the tapes resided. And thank you Jeff Smith, great scans.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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?!?

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.

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.
