    "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.

    pig poem and pictures
    http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2013/03/pigpen-photo-album.html We'll talk and screech madly through the night in heated arguments about the Witch doctors of Africa as versus the Hindus of India and Voodoo men of the West Indies. We'll howl through eons whilst Charlie Mingus puts it down and Luigi's hot rod in his Persian-rugged attic roars like a drunken mouse with his head caught under the feet of Dali's stilted elephants. Why doesn't the middle class put up? because they've got their all holy standards warped! They must dig the life of calm quiet suburbia; until their tract-house orgies are bared. But, we'll howl, rant, scream kick and pick up on frothing sounds - loud cascading forth over Peyote rocks and crashing into ourselves, pierced with flats - sharps and that crazy sound: off minor. Read? - don't play it high society isn't so bad it's the tract-house and 20,000 - 60,000 class that's got middleclass values up to here and who picture themselves as clairvoyant white knights destined to save me, or us - they boil my blood. Dean Moriarty roars into the Opus One at 3:30 a.m.... "Ron! how you been? Crazy! Look Jack, we got a lookin' all so clean gig goin' over Hunter's Point so let's splee this one an' make that!" That cat Moriarty from the Doldrums is just about so crazy as a man can be. "Dean, I, Speedy, Linda, Sammi, Breeze, Yvette, Carlo and many unknowns hold wild atheistic meetings and we sit around and not pray and drink we do, swear, blaspheme - etc. because we have no god." This is what Jon Kreebson writes of himself. Now who knows what howling times we have in crazy grottos of the city while Ginsberg, Ferlinghetti, and Kerouac sit in the spot; many crazy, unsuspecting poets know me in the place. They put the aforementioned in with Chaucer and his cohorts. Howl over pebbled craziness with cascading jive marrying Peyote in a wild explosion frescoed with intermingling and crazy peace of mind. Lateef wailing blue. --R.C. McKernan

    It looks like they did disable his account. And it looks like he opened a new one with a similar spelling. The current one has only been a member for 4 hours. This is laughable almost, because it's in line with dreading's info from customer support. Laughable because they are monitoring him lol. Now that he has their attention, I'm sure they have enough data after that most recent round of spamming to press charges if they want to. It wouldn't matter if he used a fake email address to register the new user name - at this point they know his IP address, which is associated with his ISP (internet service provider, like Comcast or Verizon), as well as his computer or cell phone's MAC address. The MAC address is the hardware serial number of his device, which is on file with whomever he bought the device from. So, there's a database of MAC addresses, and they're distributed in blocks to various hardware vendors. A competent System Administrator can make inquiries into which vendor a MAC address belongs to. Daednet now can most likely tell what kind of computer he's using and which of his ISP's routers his login originated from. So they're like a call or email away from reporting the abuse to his internet company. They'll shut his shit down if there is a significant amount of data to establish what he's doing. They take that shit seriously when there's business impact. This page isn't just a message board - it's the place people have to go to buy a box set that's not sold out. He's screwed. And while an ISP is under no obligation to turn over his personal info (they can't legally, it has to be subpoenaed), deadnet may already have it if he's ever bought anything here (even under a different username, like Terrapin Moon for example). Only thing they need to do is scan their logs for his MAC address and see if it's associated with a deadnet sales record. The funny thing is that he re-signed up after being disabled!

Yessssss....got my order in first with no troubles, finally the pre-order Gods have smiled on me! Luckily without having to go through PayPal, I've also managed to secure myself some time saving up after the charges drop-off. And I scored a ticket for the Dead and Co. show in Hartford tomorrow, what a fantastic lunch break!

Very excited to see these getting the treatment. Wondering why the crucial 72' Seattle and Portland shows are not in this. Those 3 years(72', 73', 74') tell such a story and are the most coveted recordings in general. I am however very grateful...

Love love love this. We got our Summer '73 box! Summer dead always makes me smile, and 2 summers worth is a real treat. And the option of multi year boxes opens up the possibility of a multi year MSG, or Boston, Berkeley, Alpine, Shoreline,(enter any city here) boxes. Dizzying.... the possibilities.

I'm always excited when a new release will be a great improvement over what I have. This looks like it will be that. I ordered both cd and vinyl. (don't tell the wife) On the ordering front,,, maybe it was so easy because it seemed to be on the downlow. I didn't (or at least haven't gotten one yet) an email announcement. Maybe they thought less splash would help "fans" get theirs before "ebayers". So, in the next 3 months, a new 45, Aoxomoxoa, DaP 27 and a box set! Wow, that large sucking sound is coming from your wallet!

Wish I was a headlight.. on a North(west) bound train. Well, the next best thing, Providing the shipping gnomes treat me well, I will be transported there come September. Whoo Hoo. This looks to be a spectacular box. I decide to have some desert and scored the t-shirt too. The sun gonna shine in my back door someday (in September). ah yes, that sucking sound from the wallet. It hurts, but it should heal by September. Peace all.. Thanks Dave.

I feel like Hawkeye in MASH when he ordered from "Adams Ribs". The food got to Korea and a supply sergeant asked about the coleslaw and chided Hawk for going thru all the hassle to get ribs and NOT ordering the slaw. I didn't order the shirt! Back to the order page. Suck, suck, suck, suck, suck,,,, my credit card is bleeding from the spanking I'm giving it!

$53.99 for shipping to Europe. It may be an oversize item, but for that sort of shipping price I would expect it to be delivered by private jet, not standard shipping. However, this is a not-to-be-missed item for sure.

Now that would be something! Imagine conflating two box sets together just to confuse the hell out of us. That would be treat, showing up at MUATM and getting a reveal of not this box but ANOTHER release! Shipping says oversize item, I've got this one to be the best packaging presentation yet, going for another box set packaging Grammy I presume, eh Dead?

My hands were just a blur on the keyboard when I realised this was available, so it didn't really register how much the shipping was. Its a lot..but its worth it! I'm wondering now whether to buy the vinyl for 19th May 1974, seeings as how it can be ordered on Amazon.

The box must be Spring 1990 sized. Although I think that was still cheaper in shipping. Oh well, what's not to like with 6 amazing pre-hiatus shows. Now, complete a terrific year with a 60's DaP and a 90's DaP, I say!

So... I'd been patiently waiting for the box set announcement, and this DID NOT DISAPPOINT! These shows are all really good. The Vancouver show from 6/22/73 (my 3rd Birthday, I might add) is absolutely top-notch. To me, it's in the same conversation w/ Veneta, Cornell, Englishtown, Bickershaw and acoustic/electric shows at the Fillmore East. I cannot wait for this gem to show up on my porch! Peace, brothers and sisters. 10 days until Alpine Valley!

Looks like an awesome box & it was easy to pull the trigger since I won a couple of hundred bucks on Justify in the Belmont Stakes on Saturday. Great horse & great timing for a great box set. Honestly, I would have bought the box anyway, but having that extra cash made it much easier
