    "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.

    One of my favorite debates is with a friend over which sport is more grueling.Soccer or Hockey I say Soccer. This set looks to be fun for the era fans. 73 was Golden no doubt. Considering buying the 3 CD comp. version.

    Nascar was fun in the 1920's and 1930's when the sport was invented out of necessity. The necessity part was bootleggers delivering their product without getting caught by the cops.. so they modified their cars for speed. The race started when the cops began chase and ended when they delivered their hooch to the market or got shot and killed trying, whichever came first. So the history is interesting and meaningful. Like most things in life.. it became a whole lot less interesting when they removed the illegality and repealed prohibition in 1933. They should spice it up a bit.. replace the pace car with a couple cop cars complete with pissed off police shooting at the cars giving chase. Then I might go. To me, it's just a silly waste of gas. No offense meant to any fans or racers including Bob Weir's sister in law, Leilani Münter biology graduate turned race car driver and environmental activist. There.. I managed to make this GD related. :D

    You are looking at baseball entirely the wrong way. It is far more boring than soccer. The only point in going is to drink beer with your friends and betting on how many innings it will take before the right fielder actually touches the ball for the first time. Other than that, it is a fairly pointless sport. Right up there with NASCAR. We had the pleasure of hanging out last year with a bunch of Hooligans from Leicester when they played Sevilla in the champions league. Came across them totally by accident. They overtook an entire section of the city. About 5,000 of them made the trip. The nicest, most passionate sports fans I have ever met. Your first instinct is to stay away, but we decided to go have a beer with them. Wound up spending the entire afternoon drinking, singing songs and learning about the league. It was actually very cool. Don't get me wrong. I do appreciate the talent of the players. But as a sport, soccer itself is boring as all hell. Sorry, but it is. There is more action in one period of a Stanley Cup game than there will be in the entire World Cup tournament. http://projects.cornellsun.com/projects/pumpkin-feature/

    ....even more boring than soccer. Got free box seats at a race here in Vegas a few months ago. Decided to go with my son. I would have left after an hour if it wasn't for the free beer and food. One racer led the whole time. Found out the next day he cheated. I then felt even more cheated for the three hours of my life that I'll never get back....

    You're looking at sport entirely the wrong way. If you want a sport which is boring and allows one to drink beer with one's friends, then you should appreciate cricket. Some games last three days, some last five days. If you are unable to consume sufficient beer in five days, then there is obviously no sport that is suitable for you.

    This set is right in my wheelhouse! My favorite Dead is the one drummer stuff and like Lemieux said the Vancouver 73 and Portland 74 shows are desert island shows!! I have not spent any time with the Seattle shows, but I am sure they are stellar as well. I am so freaking excited about this one. Still would love to get the RFK 73 set (with Allmans and Wet Willie sets!!), but I have great copies of that, so no hurry. And if anyone is listening, Jerry Garcia Band Hampton 93!

Boy that box looks big. Is there something in there that we are not being told? A big thank you to Cosmic Charlie for turning me on to Swing Auditorium, San Bernardino, CA (2/26/77). A terrapin opener. Hunter's Trix Vol 80.

Maybe empty and will be a nice case for some existing releases. I am going to assume closed in like 30 trips and a lot of unused space. I am also assume like 30 trip it will be wood.

I made the comment a few months back about my "downward spiral of metal." To which you responded, "I get you now." Paraphrasing both. I got to see Iron Maiden on the Killers tour. I was was in my peak of metal in 1981, and yes I occasionally will put on a grinder just to shake things up. It was Maiden as the original group (adding Adrian Smith)and they blew us away. Hard, loud, powerful, and sounding great. They played almost all of Killers and most of their first album as well. Aha, Murders in the Roe Morgue! From the first album I can remember Running Free, Charlotte the harlot and Iron Maiden. Of course, then Priest came out and destroyed what was left of the Fox in Atlanta. Less than 6 months later I was turned on to these guys and slowly started the Golden Road. That road has continued since always cleaning and purifying to the point where Grateful Dead is almost 100% what I listen to. Cheers! g Edit:Sux caused I missed the dead there in 80, of course too young. But then got shut out to 1 of the 1985 shows at the Fox. It was hard to find heads when all of your buddies are full on metal gods.

Speaking of DiP19, it is a great release. Every so often it comes up and I am amazed at how many think it is the best so far. I guess I need to try again. Dont get me wrong I love it. I just need that extra persuasion that it is a love supreme. I think I have two copies should someone need it. I will double check. g

I found this cassette while trading with a guying Texas about 20 years ago. I was floored when I heard the 2nd set.... couldn't stop listening to it - like no other show I'd ever heard, and still amazes me every time I hear it. If you don't have this show, you are missing out!

Back when I was raiding the Archives, the shows from this release just didn't have the recording quality I was looking for. So I'm really looking forward to this one. I did grab the UW Hec Ed show just for the novelty of the long PITB. An LP version would fill both sides of an entire album. Maybe it's just me, but in a 'Beavis and Butthead' kinda way I find it hilarious that in the main graphic the 8 figures arrayed around the skull are so, uh, anatomically correct.

The "mother-of-all-1973-shows"?Hardly likely. Just one of my all-time favorite shows, as with the big Dick Latvala himself. I am under the impression that Dave Lemieux was reading Latvala's notes, so in my minute, twisted, perverse, acid-soaked, pea-brain, Dick was still calling the shots (from the great beyond) Mentally, I still can see those two AudioMagnetics C-90 Type-I cassettes with poor muddy and hissy sound in my cheap boom-box cranking out this show.

The recording has always sounds papery and thin, at least throughout most of the first disc. There's just not a lot of depth to it. And too much hiss. Things improve somewhat as the show progresses, but not by much. Then again, most of Kidd's recordings sound that way, at least to my ear. Dave's 21 (love this one) is a Rex recording, and the difference is like proverbial night and day. It's not without its own flaws (name a recording that doesn't have them) but there's much more resonance. Again, not saying I don't appreciate Dave's 16. It's become a repeat play. But my ear sockets need to adjust each time I listen to it before I settle in for the ride.

Sixtus :-) Skull - I agree with your opinion on DaP 16 & 21. I would have said 16 was "airier"? I gave all of a 5 minute listen to Stella's, both were amazing clear. That one on 16 thinnest sound great at volume. A hollow hall, standing on the edge of the pit, glowing before you, the way a stella should be, right? Anyway, how do account for the difference in recording techniques. Feeds used? Mixes made on fly? Mike placement? All of the above? Opinions on sound at both venues? Jim - when I went back I saw you had the voiced on the 16/21 recordings/shows. But what I went back for was you very fine quote - "flawlessly flawed". :-) You probably stole it. That was Twain, right? In the time since I've started this, I've got thru both recording of Stella. I think 21 is a little closer, warmer and intimate. Where the jam in 16 is "larger/spacious", 21's is bluer, more controlled, was it played on a Sunday? Sounds like a Sunday. Crazy huh? In any event Stella is a great across the eras tune. It may sound different but it's one you can get lost in your own thoughts while listening to and still snap out for the return to lyrics. But all the while you weren't really thinking about the era, but floating on the sound, right? Just hit the 3 from the spring 90 collection. The one from 1990-03-16 - Capital Centre - Landover, MD, was stella. That recording was very dimensional (in my book). Also the later Stella's soared, Phoenix from ashes shit (imho). I'm always impressed(?);-) with the width and depth of arcane knowledge. I'm excited about this box, because comparisons will be nice, but yeah, the box. I do like then cluttering the shelfs. As I look around, what other band has this many "box things", that aren't just repackage stuff already available. Now where am I going to put it,,, the books must go! Yes dear I gave them to charity, I knew you were never going to read War & Peace again. You said Infinite Jest twice was enough. (she still looking up footnotes) Speaking of box sets, is Pink Floyd going to release another box set? The Later Years?

6-22-91I bought an obstructed view seat at the box office the day of the show. The view was obstructed by the soundboard! The ticket was in the taping section. The view definitely was obstructed, so I stood off to the side in the aisle. Also found an upper level ticket on the ground before the show.

It's poker night here in South Jersey. I'm playing Hold'em with the same four guys I've been playing Hold'em with for at least since Rockin' The Rhein came out. That is in fact the show that made me feel the magnetic pull and infectious delight of the Grateful Dead (Sugar Magnolia in particular). Not long after, my Uncle sent me Ladies and Gentlemen, where the best core version of Uncle John's Band resides, in my humble opinion. I just informed them of who you are and that you have a baby Sixtus in the world with you tonight. My buddy Dominic, who is hosting tonight, breaks out a bottle of 21 year old Redbreast Irish whiskey. My buddy Jimmy the Fish packed up the bong. I put Sugar Magnolia and Uncle John's Band on the stereo, and we toasted baby Tigran, Son of Sixtus. My only regret in this whole escapade, is that I flashed the picture of your dead net avatar, and there's a serious discussion going on about locating and tearing down a Dead End street sign for Dominic's bar.

Like taffy1969 wrote, this has been a favorite for more than 30 years now, can't wait for the official release. We first had this show missing 6 songs; later on the six songs were added to make the show complete. The reason that six songs were initially left out was the fact that the vocals were too low in the mix. Portland '74 is a two-track tape, isn't it? So it will be re-mastered but no re-mix is possible? That's fine with me, always interested in complete shows as long as the mix isn't terrible...and the mix is superb apart from the six songs with low vocals. Glad to see these six shows available as a boxed set!

I almost added the animal reference of "Hell in a Bucket" earlier related to my Tiger song ideas... it mentions "your chair and your whip and your pets" and the tiger snarl at the end... Apparently someone called Bobby about Tigran and he's pointing out the Hell in a Bucket connection in addition to my thoughts.

Oh man, so many wonderful, thoughtful, kind, even creative remarks and well wishes - We are truly touched. I've shown Ingrid All of The Love that's being offered for Tigran and our family. She is similarly warmed in her heart. Thin, he caught that Bucket Opener too - I think he was so excited he pooped! I am an expert poop changer and swaddler, for the record. Two burps in a row meant he was PSYCHED for second set. Truly Feeling The Love. Thank you All for offering such a kind Family Welcome to our newest Deadhead and lifetime clan member. Another generation destined to know Jerry and The Grateful Dead. With Fond and Sincere Regards Sixtus

My guess is Warren Buffet or Bill Gates.. perhaps Mark Cuban? Lucky bastard.. I hit a string of NY area shows about a decade or so ago. I was working that way and it was easy for me to get there and they were playing a lot.. I guess if was P&F / Further. Anyway.. there was this one guy, thin, kinda wiry.. he was front and center at every NY area show I caught.. and he was a jumper, up and down, up and down.. like straight up and straight down. So we aptly called him Tigger (as in Winnie the Poo Tigger). Perhaps it's Tigger.

Tigran Mansurian. Highly acclaimed Armenian composer. His "Four Serious Songs for Violin and Orchestra" are really easy on the ears.
