    "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.

    First let us know when next Dylan comes out. I'm still digging Bootleg V13, I love all the different arrangements of the songs. (I assumed you're talking about a Volume 14?) Next naming conventions. Anal also. I shorten Lovelight, to Lovelight. I also shorten It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It takes a Train to Cry, to It Takes a Lot to Laugh. Me and Uncle is Me & My Uncle. I agree as long as they're all the same. I shorten some names because the full file name can get too long for my backup program to handle. (something like - the collection/grateful dead/shows/yyyy-mm-dd - venue - city/soundboard/05 - It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry) Not sure what the length is, but you can see where length can come in. Doesn't happen often, but has happened. Also too some names are just too fuckin long (train to cry for one)! I've been labeling every JGB show ever done (feels that way for sure) and I've come to the conclusion Motown songs have the longest titles, half of which are always in parenthesis! Another odd naming convention I've noticed is on rap albums, a shitload of them always have an "intro" and "outro" tracks at the beginning and end of the album, odd, but whatever, just don't see it in other music genre.

    ..And Leave it On Revisited
    Oh was going to mention a few listenings: Just got the Anthem release, I've sampled a few of the Winterland show but haven't dug in yet. That Gibson sounds heavy heavy. Big Miles Davis kick here lately, just finished his autobiography which is awesome and hilarious. Highly recommend. Listening to the mono releases of his first Columbia LPs currently. New Punch Brothers today, haven't listened yet. Not a huge fan of their records necessarily just as much as their talent, Chris Thile is fantastic. Randomly had 4/2/90 second set come up so listened through that into 4/3/90. Maybe was just in the mood for some 90s, but really enjoyed both. Never realized each of Jerry, Brent, Weir take a verse on that last version of Death Don't Have No Mercy. Sweet!! Rumor / pseudo-confirmation that this Fall's Dylan Bootleg Series will finally revisit Blood on the Tracks. They released an acoustic Meet Me In The Morning on RSD back in 2012 when BOTT was planned for Bootleg Series 11 (even said so on the sleeve) but got shelved for a few years. Love the idea, though I'm really curious what is in the vault for that one. The outtakes we do know are limited..several outtakes of the released songs, but Up To Me, left off the album, is a killer. Though, I had never heard rumors of that acoustic Meet Me In The Morning so this could get interesting... Listening to Dead & Co jam on Lovelight from 6/10/17 now. Or is it Love Light?

    ..And Leave it On
    Excited for both this and DaP27, looks to be alot of quality stuff. Very glad to see the Dave's get outside the well-mined era. Not very familiar with '83 other than 10/21/83 Worcester from 30 Trips and for some reason I also have 5/13/83, Greek Theatre. I'm trying to remember why...first Hell In A Bucket? As for the PNW, I picked up Winterland '73 right when I was getting into the Dead and listened to it on my trip cross country to see Dylan in Seattle, so '73 and the Pacific Northwest have been inextricably linked for me from the get-go. I know we've discussed track labeling and ID3 tags here before, some funny discussion that doesn't make me feel alone in the anal retentiveness of my collection. On that subject, I am OCD that every iteration of a given song is named the same..having both Me & My Uncles and Me and My Uncles in the collection disgusts me. So current conundrum - Turn On Your Love Light or Turn On Your Lovelight? My go-to is always go back to the original recording or release of a song and see how it was listed at that time (this approach led to me changing 137 versions of Don't Think Twice, It's Alright to Don't Think Twice, It's All Right) and the original Bobby Blue Bland release in 1961 on Duke is in fact Turn On Your Love Light. But for some reason, Turn On Your Lovelight looks better to me, and I feel more used on Dead releases (though they are inconsistent). Any thoughts? Or I also understand not making eye contact with the crazy guy on the subway. My other request/question - Any good recommendations for a console CD player? I know it's not 1994, but my 300 disc Sony changer has crapped out. I'm going to take a look at it, but thought about finding another, maybe a 5-6 disc changer. I don't use the full 300 but thought more than 1-disc would be good for these sets. Surely someone here still listens to these quality CD releases on their home stereo. If it doesn't fit, you must acquit.

    Sell Outs
    We don't know how many subscribers there are on Dave's Picks, but production is capped at 18,000 per release. Based on the speed of sell outs i'm guessing there are between 15-16k subscribers, leaving only a few thousand up for grabs when they're announced. Again, that's a guess. There could be 17,800 subscribers. As noted, there are 15,000 units of the PNW box. I too am a little surprised its not sold out yet. I agree it's probably a combination of the fact it can be downloaded rather than physically delivered, combined with the higher (but by no means unreasonable, given the price per show) price point. I'm also shocked by the availability of the Summer '78 box set, given the quality of the shows and recordings, and the price point.

    A $30 DaP is easier to purchase than a $200+ box. The good news is that any true Deadhead can stop in and buy (3) 1973 shows and (3) 1974 shows just as fine as you please.

    Hmmm.... thanks for the cautionary words Jim & Dennis. I should make clear that I was not advocating a course of action, just reporting on something that happened 45 years ago. Stevie Ray made well known Guitar Slim's song: Things that I used to do, Lord, I won't do no more. Ain't it the truth, that was a one timer. At the time, it seemed like a good idea given that none of us really drank hard stuff, we were barely adults with a small tent and a cooler walking into who knew what. We did not know 600,000 would show up. The best beers we could find at the time were from Germany, Holland and Scotland. But they were so expensive! Bulky! St Pauli Girl, Spaten, Heineken, MacEwans. We loved beer but craft brews were yet to come. President Carter does not get enough credit for sparking what would become craft brewing by signing new law in 1978 and it would take at least ten more years before craft brewing began to take off. It was illegal to brew beer at home in some cases! Just think about how far beer has come in the last thirty years or so. We thought dosing a bottle which no one would dare chug (101 proof, right?) would be a convenient way to keep track of and merge little tiny dots or pieces of paper, which were sometimes notoriously variable in strength. Bourbon is for sipping! Jim's comment made me chuckle, what could possibly go wrong? Whatever can, often does. The sheer number of people and the weather that Saturday was the biggest challenge. Fortunately we escaped unscathed. I will refrain from any further comments involving attitude or altitude adjustments by external means, other than music. However, as you might imagine, there was a lot of availability on site of unknown provenance and authenticity. Be prepared was our Boy Scout motto. Safety First! See the cover for Only a Lad, Oingo Boingo for more details...

    16 minutes, from the show that brought us the monster 43 minute Dark Star on the 2011 Road Trips Bonus Disc. I had two versions of this soundboard. One sounded really good, but had an audience patch at the end; the other one didn't have the audience patch, but it sounded extremely rough in the beginning. I combined the two at around 15:27 for one complete good sounding track (38MB 320kbps mp3 converted from WAV) Link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1t-DyrL7b9q6VvSw51B44caLcxxIw09mW

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.

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

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.
