    "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.

    Scratched discs
    Wow! Really disappointed to spend all of this money and receive scratched discs. How does this happen? Makes you really not want to buy cds anymore. I have bought every box set the Dead have put out with the exception of the giant Europe '72 box set. This is will be my last one. Disgraceful

    I am not mistaken that I have never heard of this before. I'm pretty sure I'm right about that. I am sorry for your woes.. it will come. I believe someone else posted here if you paid extra for 'expedited delivery' you can probably get that refunded. I honestly have never heard of this language being used before by dead.net and it's not on my email. I would follow Bobs advice and if you paid extra for expedited shipping ask for a refund on that portion of the costs. What else can you do at this point? Sorry for your woes, no offense meant. Not pre-ordering from Dead.net, especially for items that often sell out before the pre-order is over (not the case for this box, they are still for sale) often means if you want it you have to get it from eBay at double or triple the price. Once it sells out, it will be more expensive on the secondary market. Just my two cents. Edit: Also, check the UPS tracking. For most that ordered this, the first shipping notice was conservative and it arrived before that, the delivery date being adjusted all the while. I do not recall an overnight delivery option available when I ordered mine, just 'expedited' I understand your frustration, follow Bob's advise. He is a kind and wise man. On an unrelated note - does anyone have a backhoe I can borrow?

    Money Money and Robbing Banks
    Is it really good to have each and every Money Money perfectly remastered? ...made me chortle my drink. As for robbing banks.. One of the po-dunk banks a few miles from where I live was robbed a week or so ago and one of my friends works for the bank. ..which got us all talking about it. Fortunately there was a lawyer in the crowd. The plan is to borrow a backhoe from a nearby construction project and just crash through the back wall (where the money is).. have a bunch of raft guides nearby to grab as much cash as you possibly can in the next minute or three and get the hell out of dodge. If you demolish the building while grabbing the lute, there is less chance you will be caught on film and try grabbing a print from a pile of rubble. Makes perfect sense. None of this threaten the teller stuff.. Smash in the back wall after hours, after they are all gone, grab the loot and split. What could possibly go wrong? Now that I think about it.. there is one of those old WWII tanks sitting proudly in the town park about two blocks away from the local bank. We could fill it up with unleaded, fire it up, smash through the rear brick walls of the bank, cash and go and be home by dinner. That sounds more fun than the Money Money listening party. I guess what I was trying to say is there is a reason they only played it thrice. Apologies to all that love this song (I am sure there are plenty). It just never gelled with me. Again, apologies..

    Reach out to MaryE on this board via PM or email Dr. Rhino at Dr.Rhino@Rhino.com. They'll be able to help out and get this resolved. I've had issues over the years that were quickly resolved. Try purchasing the Europe 72 All Music Edition and only receiving one show... They corrected. I've also had bad disks in first May boxset and a couple of Dick's Picks without issue. I would not expect Rhino Customer Service to directly respond on these threads, but Mary will chime in from time to time. I was initially a little pissed at first that I signed up for Expedited Shipping and wasn't going to get it until today, but as Jim says what's a couple of more days, I'm just psyched they're releasing one of my favorite periods of my favorite bands after all these years. We are such lucky fans. I'm sorry for your loss and I hope it get's resolved to your satisfaction.

    Great name for a parody band. After reading about the disc issues, I'm afraid to open mine now. I got into show one last night in a dark room and didn't even think to look. Went back just now. Disc one has scuffs and small scratches. Disc 2 and 3 are okay so far. This is like opening the briefcases in Let's Make a Deal and hoping you don't get f**ked. Here it comes, night in the ruts.

    Ordering Snafu's
    I pre-ordered mine, don't have it yet tracking says tomorrow. It will come. I've been waiting for 45 years, what's another day. Perhaps better advice is don't trust what you might have been told from the customer service number. I have never heard of them sending a box set via Overnight Express. They are in the process of shipping out 10k of these this week. Sorry about your troubles, but relax a bit, it will come. If the order went through and they charged your credit card.. it will come. I have been buying CDs from GD Merch, then Dead.Net directly since One From The Vault in 1993. I have had a couple CDs with the box cutter blues, a couple scratched.. all were replaced. I am whole and have a bunch of good music to sooth my aching bones. I wish no one ever had trouble and there were no snafu's. I was bummed when a couple of my orders had problems. But they made good on every single order (so far).

    Buyer beware! Never pre order from dead.net!
    I have been given the complete runaround re: the pre order I paid for months ago. I’ve bought many things from dead.net in the past and I would now advise any deadhead to avoid that at all costs. I purchased this pre order weeks and weeks ago, and didn’t hear anything about my shipment till this weekend. I heard it ‘should’ be out by end of day Monday. I was then told it was shipped, and given tracking numbers that quite obviously showed it didn’t get shipped for days. Now, dead.net claims they sent my package as ‘overnight express’ yesterday. UPS says it is a ‘scheduled delivery’ of next Monday. The 17th. I’ve sent multiple emails to customer service and have received no help! For a pre order of several hundred dollars (both the box set and the Lp). I still have no idea when I’ll get it, and dead.bet additionally lied about the shipping they would use in their email. Don’t ever pre order from dead.net, they will treat you horribly for your troubles. I have friends who purchased this set after it came out and have received it before dead.net even bothered to *try* to ship mine. I’m still waiting for some sort of response here - getting a release multiple weeks late isn’t exactly a preorder. What’s the point. I’m not going to be purchasing any more subscriptions or preorders from here anymore unless this somehow gets resolved...

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.

Wish some of that energy would rub off on me. Congrats to yall. Dang my short term memory, the Mrs' name escapes me, maybe Ingrid??? Let her know we are all pulling for you all! g Edit: d'oh, didnt see you said her name. I am proud of myself for remembering something more than 2 hours old.

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.
