    "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.

    I received that email as well. There wasn't much too it, a few bullet points and a picture of the box. My guess it was a response to pictures of the box showing up on eBay. Here are the bullets: Some folks like surprises, others not so much. Our PACIFIC NORTHWEST '73-'74 box and its fantastic art and packaging have hit the web so we thought we'd share an official look with you right here, right now.

    I am glad you liked Buckeye. That is what makes this band so exciting. What One Man (not you Steve)doesnt like, another does. It is weird we missed such a huge Shakedown. It is an oddity, that within the same confines, you can have different experiences... After all, it was a Grateful Dead concert, so better time spent than elsewhere!

    I was there and thought it was a really good show all around. The first set with Hornsby sitting in was top notch Dead. The second set opened with three new songs, Victim, Foolish heart and Blow Away. i distinctly remember the reaction of some people towards Victim in particular, and watching the mood grow dark. At that point i knew that was going to be a great song. The Blow away and foolish heart are solid renditions. Terrapin was played to perfection. The post Space segment was pretty standard with a decent reading of The other one, even though without the Phil bass intro. It was indeed hot and oversold. I remember being parked about 12 cars deep right in the middle of probably the biggest "Shakedown street" I even seen. We were trapped in the lot for the duration. Very festive though. The day before the Buckeye show was spent at Cedar Point. Fun weekend. ....speaking of the 6/21/89 Shoreline PPV broadcast, I would also love to see that released. Great show.

    Thanks for the info on Further and Deadco. Also thanks to other commenters. Did not realize that Deborah had caused some issues. Need to watch Long Strange Trip again and watch with a more discerning eye. I think it was Vguy that stated he just wants to hear the music and not be too concerned with the backstage or life making sausage aspects. At least I now understand why Billy and Mickey were shunning and now are back. Thanks again, G Edit OOOps: Stoltzfus not Vguy.

    Speaking of more Video. I hope maybe next year you will choose Today's Date 1989 for either release or MUATM or both. I still have my old VHS tapes of the PPV, and they still sound very good. If you do, release the whole PPV with beginning and intermission. The crowd stuff at the beginning and intermission is always fun to show folks who wonder what in the hell was I into. Another show where Phil thunders hard during opening of Estimated. G

    90s!
    Kevjones-I totally agree. The 90s has some single show stuff, especially in '91 with the lush 7-piece band sound that deserves to come out. The late Brent era has been pretty covered with the entire spring 90 tour being released, which is phenomenal, but I always felt '91 was really their last great year. (No, not "great" like '72 and '73-'74, etc., I know, but still LOTS of good shows, that Jerry's rapid decline prevented from '92 to end.) Don't think I have ever even heard Sandstone but used to play soldier field in my car all the time and 6-17 Giants was one of the best shows I ever saw, along with 12-6-92 Tempe out of 60 or so. (And I hated Giants stad. as a venue and never went back after '92.) It's ironic that people are complaining about MUAM being too 90s when they don't have much other video, but the boxes have been all 70s-which is great-but there are some single shows here and there from '91 that would be a great representation of Bruce Dead. That was the other thing-once Bruce officially left and only played with them sporadically after spring '92, Vince really made you miss Brent. Vince was cool and all, I liked him...but still.

    You heard right, Thin. First set performances were excellent, but it took them a while to get the sound right, at least from where I was sitting on the first base side. Second set was way beyond expectations. Despite blown lyrics in "St. Stephen" (we're all used to that), they nailed it instrumentally and "The Eleven" was shockingly wonderful.

    I saw Pearl Jam a few years back at Wrigley Field. About 4 songs in, Eddie announced that there was a huge lightning storm on the way, and that we would have to get off the field. The huddled masses gathered together in the ballpark concessions areas for about 2 hours. Finally, the storm subsided (and it was truly a magnificent light show!). We all went to our soggy seats and Eddie came out. He noted that they had to ask permission from the nearby homes, but the mayor had given the 'ok' to continue the show at that hour. PJ finally started in again about 11:00pm and played until well after 1am. It's one of those rarities that they have never released on CD, probably not one of their best by their standards, but I don't know anyone who got to see them that night that was not satisfied. Maybe, in their particular situation, Dead and Co, did not feel they could do that (past Bobby's bedtime?), but for a band that typically plays between 2-3 hours, they owe you something.

    The only summer of 1988 show I saw was Buckeye Lake. One of only 2 shows that I did not like. As has been mentioned, excrutiatingly hot. If memory serves low 100's. Show starts off good. Not sure the heat did not take it out on the fellas. We get there and get in line early to tape, like maybe around 2. They had a huge sign on the interstate, "Grateful Dead, TODAY, $5." So not only did they get us paying full price and driving 400 miles, but then they parked us in a lot real close to the entrance. We thought great, small walk. Had security and parking people to park the crowd. Stand in line in that heat and get down right beside Healy. There must have been close to 100,000 people. I am sure maybe 20,000 only paid $5. Problem was when we leave, and ready to get back to hotel to dub tapes, etc. all of the security and parking people were gone. Ouch. After waiting for several hours we decided to take the Cherokee trail riding and found an escape through the woods to the local road. Did not mind one bit tearing up the field we went through to get to the road, it was all Buckeye Lake property. I still really enjoy the opening Stranger, still wondered about Bobby and his pink Strat. The Sugaree was also good, as was most of the first set. Even after dark it was still in the 90's. That is what made the after show such a problem. There was little lot vending to find a beer, veggie burrito, or water. That was my one and only large venue show. All others were 4,500 to 16,000. Whew. Hard to believe 30 years ago Monday. G

We all know what's in this box? (Thanks to those for putting together the song list stats.) And what's in it looks amazing, I grabbed a copy. Hah, but just for kicks, what's missing? No Dew! Next night, 6/29/73, got it: He's Gone->Truckin->Other One->AM Dew. What else?

Fell in love with baseball when i was around 7 years old and played in little league. Caught my first Yankees game at Shea stadium cause Yankee stadium was being remodeled. A twi-night double header. Sparky Lyle, Craig Nettles, Munson, Guidry, etc. they got really good for several years and at the time I knew every player’s batting average by heart. Smoked weed in 82 and completely fell in love with Rock and Roll music (mostly of the 60’s, 70’s varieties). Completely stopped following baseball from that moment on. Always loved NHL hockey. Nothing like live hockey and playoff hockey wether you are there or not. Been a Rangers season ticket holder since the day I was born/ current MSG building opened. Got to thank Dad for that obsession and my Mom for being a music freak. Happy Father’s Day everyone!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7fHMt2v4Jw Oops that didn't embed, I guess I still haven't figure that out. Baseball, hockey, lacrosse, I'll take just about anything with a piece of wood or full contact, more fun to play than watch though for sure. Football is great with friends but I could care less about the NFL. But seriously some one had a great point...Earth needs fewer people just yucking some one elses yum, if we were all the same that would be boring as hell. And with a friendly reminder that the Boston Red Sox and Fenway Park are the ONLY baseball team and stadium that matter, that is all.

I agree about the Red Sox, but if any baseball fans are interested, I still have a Nolan Ryan Topps (what else was there back then) rookie card as well as a Johnny Bench rookie card, a 1968 Mickey Mantle card, a 1967 Carl Yastrzemski, and many more Hall of Famers, plus some other pretty cool memorabilia from back then. I even have a 1968 (he was age 25 then) Joe Namath card - wow, I can’t believe I still have this stuff! - I might be interested in swapping some of these for the 1977 Winterland box and the first May 1977 box. These aren’t graded since they’re cards my mom thankfully never threw away and my sister meticulously put into a binder album with the plastic sleeves. . Most of these look like they’re in really nice shape. Please PM me if interested in a swap or two. PS - My favorite player back then was Tony Conigliaro, by the way!

I was sitting here listening to Mississippi half-step from the Grateful Dead movie soundtrack, trying to figure out where the annoying offbeat tambourine was coming from. I can't remember Donna ever picking up a tambourine, and of course pigpen was long gone at that point. Then it struck me, oh yeah this song came off a disc 5. Mickey played on all disc 5. Enough said. No I'll say a little bit more. This band was only big enough for one drummer after 1970.

I can't believe how good this The Other One is on DaP 24. Haven't listened to it since the first 20 times right after it came out. After a break it's even better than before. Mcgrupp, what's missing - Uncle John's Band. That one never gets old for me.

I am pretty sure my cat got eaten last night by a creature of some sort. She was a sweetie.. not an angry kitty. Well, let's give her a week or so before I give up hope.

Yep, missing UJB. That and the Dew are sort of the only songs not played here that surprises me. But for whatever reason UJB wasn't played from 2/15/73 to 10/25/73 and then not from 3/23/74 to 6/23/74. As for AM Dew, it was played only 6x in 74, so not too surprising and then, as I mentioned, these shows just miss the one played the next show on 6/29. Other songs in rotation - though clearly rarities - during this period that are missing include: Candyman (only played 4x in 73, once 74), Cold Rain (3x 73, once 74), Cumberland Blues (7x 73, 7x 74), and Don't Ease (24x 73, 2x74). Anyway, gonna be one hell of a box! So...what's on deck for Dave's 27?

Not a bad title, eh? Use it for your next album, I won't sue. Just got back from a two-week Exile In Wisconsin. Complete with waterpark fun, brats, cases of beer and rabid boating. Jesus, those people are crazy, if Simple. Presently grooving on the recent Clapton release, "Life In 12 Bars." Imagine he spent time in about 12,000 bars counting hotels, airports and such, but given the blues based theme it's an apt title. Most of the great ones (Clapton, Keith Richards, SRV, etc.) were even better drinkers than musicians, but the respite from touring life and inspiration had to come from somewhere. Ladies and Gentlemen, tip your bartenders and waitstaff generously. Either that, or go straight to hell - do not pass, "Go," do not collect $200. Recommended. Also, for three cents it's about goddamn time Lemieux and the powers that be opted to offer up some primo-year shit to the mucho. Gracias! Looking forward to blasting the hell out of this release right out of the box at our next Garden Party. Eat your heart out, Rick Nelson. \m/

I cant deal with it lol its like someone making me eat a low grade hot dog that's not Oscar meyer all beef- I just cant do it, I don't know what we would do with all the vomit after the first bite alone lol I listened to the Dead when mayer was writing all these songs and the Dead was my sanctuary from it. I was like whew! thank god for grateful dead...and substance(substance meaning a song that has substance). so this like a personal hell/living nightmare for me lol

I recommend especially the concerts of 8 and 9 October 1989, released in The Warlocks Box in 2010. These two concerts given in Hampton are the bests of the year 1989 in my opinion.

Have any of yinz gotten on board with the HD audio versions? What are your thoughts? I'm conflicted here, not IF I'm going to buy this, but how? The warning about the "ornate" and "oversized" box gives me hesitation. I have a binding non-proliferation agreement with Mrs. Deadguy regarding the house not getting completely overrun with records and CD boxsets. I don't have any Apple devices, although surely there are players out there that can support both ALAC and FLAC. Apple lossless might be the sensible pragmatic option. That HD FLAC though. It is calling to me. But, then I would definitely need a major upgrade to my digital player. And then I would probably need a whole new system to get the most out of it. And then I would probably need to build an addition to my house to really crank it. And then I would have the extra room to store the new box set anyway. Alright its settled, I'm getting the box, and the HD downloads, and a brand new HD sound system, and I'm calling a contractor on Monday, and I'm sending a bill for all of it to Lemieux.

Less than a hand full performed with the Wall of Sound Traveling back from Hartford one of the few discs I attempted to play that was not be rejected by car Stereo CD player included one of these rarities. *+*+* July 1974 Chicago *+*+* UJB -> U.S. Blues and top notch Encore "Ship of Fools" A few months back I had Dicks Picks 31 spinning non-stop for a couple weeks, that UJB is smoking hot !! from August 1974. France in September 1974 may have the most laid back cool UJB performance with Wall of Sound

Agreed about the big box design. Prefer the ones that fit on a shelf. Oh well, ordered it immediately. Hopefully the discs will be individually packaged in a shelf friendly way. July 78 is the Ideal. Great post about missing songs. I love all versions of Cold Rain and Snow. And when it's an opener watch out.

After getting a chuckle out of Roguedeadguy's funny post about the choice of box or HD FLAC purchase, I read the bulk of it to my wife. Her immediate response was "I think I need Mrs. Deadguy's email". I suspect she wants to find out about this non-proliferation treaty Mr. and Mrs. Deadguy have in an attempt to negotiate her own non-proliferation treaty. Uh-oh. All I'm thinking is that I replaced my stereo and speakers last year, but if I get the HD FLAC version as well as the box I now know that can justify further upgrades.

Me and the Ms. are at the age where we're thinking about downsizing within 10 years. We're trying to reduce the load by parting with much of our stuff. Downloads don't take up any more room so that's the route I'm taking. At least when downloads are available. Can I really tell the difference between CD quality and high-res? Probably not. The ears are a bit fried. I hear my tinnitus in high-res though!

8/31/81 Aladdin Theatre, Las Vegas, Nevada.Because it's the "Thank a Fan" time at Rhino. It's *all* about a dead Head named Vguy ("Vince") and a then young lady (another Head) named Valerie here. They get their names published in the credits in the booklet and if they're subscribers to the Dave's Picks 2018 series, they get their $30 refunded. The show: Grateful Dead Aladdin Hotel Theatre Las Vegas, NV 31 August 1981 https://archive.org/details/gd1981-08-31.aud.unknown.91893.sbeok.flac16…

I'm sure Dave mentioned somewhere on the video clip that he displays or will proudly display a Grateful Dead Box Set somewhere in his abode for all to see, this is an example for all of us to follow, get rid of those wedding photos on the coffee table/mantlepiece, or any other clutter, detritus etc, we do have room for more boxsets. Gotta go ere indoors is, well indoors.

....if a gypsy woman was in the crosswalk, that would be the icing. That Aladdin gig is pretty nifty. Back in the day, it was considered the best sounding venue west of the Mississippi. Been there several times. No argument here. Best Phish show I witnessed occurred there. https://youtu.be/uASrrpyIa40 .... despite the fungi I ingested, I recall it very well. Best Simple ever. Burned into my grey matter forever. Top shelf. Sadly, the Aladdin is now rubble. Motley Crue was the final act. What a venue. Let's see. I saw Iron Maiden, Allman Bros, Counting Crows, Phish, Dylan twice, Rusted Root, Widespread Panic, Trans-Siberian Orchestra and Alice Cooper there. I might have forgotten a couple....thanks for the memory recall.

Did I miss this? Has this boxset been shown to us? If not, then this is a spoiler alert....checking out GD cds on ebay today, I found this listing. The second photo shows both the front and back angles of this new boxset. Again, if I missed an official unveiling, then this is moot. If I didn’t, then do not do this, if you do not want to see what this boxset looks like. Here is the link: https://m.ebay.com/itm/Grateful-Dead-Pacific-Northwest-1973-1974-Comple… Looks very cool!

Ok, I missed this. So this has already circulated, and is this the actual design? Does look very cool! And indeed, that guy is an idiot!

Hey Now Alain, good to see you back. Hope all is well over yonder. Icecream: taking your advice and watching the VFtV. I remember that one is west coast laid back. Set two Jer just settles in for a long slow meltdown. Just wrapping up watching Eric Clapton's 2007 CrossRoads DVD, great sound.

Just fired up the DVD.First thing I noticed - Mickey was drumming with drum sticks rather than the paint brushes he uses now, which don’t seem to make any sound.

we used to have a half an acre back yard and we used to let our cats Tippy and Baby out. and mom told me the story about Tippy was sittin and chillin at dusk on the deck. and a coyote saw her all the way from the edge of our property on the deck and started boundin after her, mom opened the door and said you better come in here and she did. coyote came up onto the porch. if I had known that coyotes did that I would have NEVER let Tippy and Baby out. especially Baby cuz she always wanted out at nite. Tippy lived to 15 years and Baby lived to 20 years.

After seeing these images of the box design, it makes all kinds of sense as to what Dave says about this box in his seaside chat. He says he normally does not display much GD stuff in his home. And then says that the design of this box is so amazing he has decided to display it on a certain end table. It would be cool to know if those images are the actual final design. Didn’t Dave mention something about seeing design elements, but not the finished product? Perhaps these images where just a mock-up. Maybe this isn’t what it actually looks like!!!After some research, I do think it will be for sure this shape, as that is a common shape of a One Nation Bentwood Box. Here is an example: https://www.canadianindianart.com/gallery/bent-box-design/ Also, in doing some reading about Roy Henry Vickers, I came across this video attached to an article by the CBC. Check it out, and then checkout the comments below it...this is awesome! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ol-QhNvk2bw#action=share
