    "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.

    Like 89 Alpine....Had new job and no money from taking several months off in 88 while “working for the state” still had Florida fall 88 debt to cover etc, so not able to do as much as usual. Also, my semi-respectable Cousin had new REAL job etc. so we only got to do 17&18th. He had a brand new Grand Prix, so me being the “Neal” back then he had me drive. Don’t recall too much, just we were stuck in the main paved lot, sleeping in the car etc. Amazing show on 17, great on 18th, but all that rain, and they had just resodded and I believe made the hill bigger/steeper to add more capacity. So of course the sod was washing away and down would go huge groups of heads down the side of the hill when the sod gave way, wheeeee! Talk about a mud fest! I think I ended up on one little island of stubborn sod that held fast, just enough room for me to boogie on all alone in the middle of a sea of mud ; ) But then I had to drive all night back to WNY to get us both to work! Funny thing, 2nd day we were trying to leave to find a hose some where and some real grub. So we’re waiting by exit to pull out, and little tiny clown like car full of like 10 kids are taking forever to pull out. Finally she starts to go, but hesitates and stops, then she try’s again, but had not returned car to drive after backing up so as not to stick out into road, so next thing we know, this car with freaks hanging out the window etc, smashes into my Cousins beautiful brand new car. Of course like 10 state troopers are standing there watching the whole comical scene! Luckily they left me totally alone, and only fucked with the other driver, and my cousins car wasn’t too bad (minor bumper dent etc). That could of turned ugly for me very fast...... Have 2 even better stories from Alpine 87, but perhaps another time. Seems only my evil twin and I really appreciate the old war stories?

    Great story, thanks for sharing. Have many similar memories, usually no planes involved, but often calling in “sick” from hotel pay phones (had to pre pay long distance so when Louy the boss answered, the operator wasn’t there lol) and many a night I would drive us ALL night so we could make it to work the next morning....Some day I’ll have to break some out.... Oh too be young again...

    Phew, what a weekend. 2 fine D&C shows Friday and Saturday. Received a care package of 2 DPs and 2 RTs from real gone Monday off, so Rocked out to new shows all day, and of course the announcement of DaP 27! Friday was all over the place, a few fine peaks, a couple of Train wrecks, but the Terrapin>St Stephen>the 11 made all worth while. Definetly worth checking out! Great job on those! The rest of the set not too shabby either... Saturday more consistency, all around good show, but nothing mind blowing. Was hoping for the DS, but.... Personally, I’m stoked for some 83. More hot shows in there than many realize; not a “taper” so do not have encyclopedic knowdlege, but know 4/12, 4/15, 4/16, 4/17, 6/22, 8/27; 10 14+15, 10/23; and of course that MSG St Steve’s are all hot shows, Sounds like I need to check out the Santa Fe stuff too? To all who are disappointed, remeber folks the Band played for THIRTY years, not 4! “And every year always has some great moments, and at least a few great shows, (Just gotta poke around) so get over it, and be grateful that we have such amazing, still flowing, realeses to bitch about. Oy, such 1st world problems... Unfortunately, Dave pretty much spells out the source situation, but he also says there is more usable stuff.... Just hope it sounds great. I know first hand how amazing 10/14 and 3/27/88 were live, amazing shows, some of the best I was fortunate enough to see, but the realeses don’t seem to fully bring that out. I remember thinking that 10/14 everyone in the whole production was on that night. The band kicked ass, the sound was amazing, even sitting on the side in that old barn, and the lights, phheeww. Lil red sweethearts didn’t hurt either... Now, I do still enjoy this realese, Hell I live for realeses of good shows I was at, but imho it just doesn’t fully translate? I think perhaps it’s not as much breathing room as a multi-track, and definetly less dynamic range.... Point being it still is a great listen and I thank Dick every time I fire it up. So even though it’s not a full Norman, multi-track from fall 73, I’m gonna love it, hope all y’all can too....rember Eecktar’s rule of relativity, “a little bit of somethin is better than all of nothing” ; ) So be Grateful!

    The Grateful Dead leased the vault to Rhino for 10 years, in about 2005. Rhino spent 30 million. That contract was renewed a year or two ago. Rhino owns the licensing rights for ALL recordings, merchandise, logos, emblems, and this website. That to me is selling the vault.

    I only noticed after The Dead came to England in 1981-reading a review of a show I hadn't been to revealed that they had played a completely different set to the one I had heard. The broadcast Essen Germany show from March 1981 was also different from the show I had seen. In those days, most live albums seemed to be compilations of songs from the whole tour, rather than a recording of one particular show, which suggested the same set list played throughout. Obviously both Europe 72 and Steal Your Face fell into this category. Both horrendously, misrepresentative too, but that's another story. Occasionally one show was featured - The Who's Live at Leeds comes to mind. But having recently heard their Live at Hull album from the some tour, the level of similarity from show to show for some bands verged on the uncanny.

    The longer the better right? If you're looking for something off the beaten path, try 12/18/73. That whole damn show needs to be released. 6/30/73 is pretty good too. I think Roanoke too, I forget the date....Sept something 74

    Shit.. early on (at least for me) it was more like both going to all I can afford and somehow not creating the optics that I didn't care about fiscal responsibility and was not robbing trains to support my GD habit. 35 years later.. not much has changed. Looking back.. I could have probably found a way to see at least another few shows if I was just a little smarter about it, but I did what I could. And what and adventure it was (and still is).

    That was a revelation, and that's one of the things that hooked me. I think I got that at the BCT August 72 shows. I realized I could see a totally different show, and maybe hear the songs I wanted to hear but didn't. It's also interesting because we talked about the different musical genres in each night, 'Yeah that was the spacey night, next night was the rockin' night. That was it. I started going to all three,(four? five? six?) and also started traveling to shows on the west coast. Oh what fun times!

    ....yeah. I realized that during Long Beach '87. "And they won't repeat a song?" Some head sitting next to me. "Nope." Me. Staring blankly. "But it's Sunday. Dammit!" All bets were off after that revelation....a year later, I hit all 3 Long Beach shows, and was trading tapes ravenously. We had six tape decks going at once for a while. Grate times. And there's nothing weird about Desolation Row. Hindsight is 20/20. Back then, that was a bathroom song. Stupid youth....

    Great show.. I realize as I write this that it might sound weird.. but I really loved that Desolation Row (from 7/19), might just be my favorite part of the DVD. Ok.. add in the Deal. The start of the second set is amazing too, a great China>Rider, Playing UJB SOTM. Wow. I didn't catch that one, so I'm glad it was released on DVD at least.

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 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.
