"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.

.... you digital fans are gonna be lamenting. Lol. Just trying to make my case.Then again, if my house burns down.... And to those who have received the box already, where is the # located? That's a serious question.

"Gives one a sense of well being"....

....isn't that what listening to the Dead is all about? I mean, in the end, isn't that the event horizon? Whether it be physical, digital, DAT, cassette, vinyl, 4th dimension? We all know why we're here. Sad that some have received damaged goods. Rhino makes good in the end though. Time waits for no one, especially a Deadhead. (unless it's Boise '83 to some. Yeah. I jabbed). It's the medicine that cures the ills of my world. Spinning 10.1.94 from Boxilla now. Yeah. A diamond in the '94 rough. If you get confused, listen to the music play....

Boxes & CDs

What people are experiencing is one of the reasons I gave up on physical product. I was always anxious about deliveries in the rain, crushed box sets, skippy cds, etc. I realize GD box sets are like aquiring a work of art. I loved looking at all my CDs and box sets. Gives one a sense of well being. What flipped me was discovering that my E72 discs were getting scuffed from pulling them out of the cardboard cases. Also, we're downsizing and the less stuff the better. I ripped my insane collection and the collection is boxed up. To what purpose I know not. I still buy Dave's Picks cds because there's no other format. Not even sure where I'm going with this. The music in this set is some of the best ever released IMHO.

First Songs From Set

I'm aware of first songs from sets having the problem of drop outs and then adjustments are made. That's not what I'm talking about. I've only listened to two concerts and there are other instances. In the 5/19/74 show the sound flat out sucks from Sugaree (the 9th song) through at least CCS/IKYR. If there are more I will be unhappy. The price charged is too much, IMHO, for soundboard problems as I've heard so far.

Multiple damaged discs

Mine just arrived. It’s really cool looking, but unfortunately the box lid has an indented line on the top, like someone wrote on a piece of paper on top of it. Much more importantly 14 of the 19 discs have multiple scratches, scuffs and/or marks. Several also have fingerprints or smudges. It’s definitely disappointing, but I’m sure they’ll resolve the problems. Based on this and some of the other comments I’d advise everyone to check their CDs closely.

RE: I love CDs, and will buy 'em

That's a great, well thought out article! Thanks for sharing it. I should have qualified my sentiments. The CD IS going down for the count. It won't be digital files that will do it. It will be streaming. The average music listener will not be bothered to do something as work-a-day as download music files to keep. As you point out, they will pay for the service and pay for the same music forever. DVD's are going to take it in the derriere as well. My Comcast rep said their main focus as far as the way they stingily dole out their bandwidth is TV streaming. They care nothing about anything else. They have seen the future and it is streaming. The collector is something different altogether. The "rare" cd's I have found in the past were oddly enough found in cut out bins at a Coconuts Music. Pretty much the CD equivalent to "EP's". And as you adroitly pointed out, the 20-something sniffed at the CD equivalent of "Hum" and wanted the "retro" feel of vinyl, even though vinyl was "executed" probably at the time of his birth. The millennial finds value in things that were popular pre birth and has an ironic "kitsch" value. Something he and his friends can gather around and stare at while drinking their microbrews and put their two cents in about the anthropological value of such a find. I found myself at my very first "Record Store Day" earlier this year. Bought the GD 1969/02/28 Fillmore show on vinyl and an Elvis Presley piece "The King In The Ring". Loves me some "1968 Comeback Special" What is odd about that is I have no turntable nor a desire to even open the vinyl! I suspect the vinyl was mastered from the Fillmore West box set tapes and not a fresh remaster. Same with the EP vinyl, likely mastered from the 40th Annivesary CD box set. Why do I want these things? I have no idea. I think much of it gets back to sentimentality as you alluded to in your article. "But the decline of the CD feels sharp and sudden – and more than a little shocking to those of us who came of age as consumers alongside the rise of the format." We get to "a certain age" and nostalgia sets in. Ironic or not (Less ironic to those of us who grew up with LP's), everything is retro and things that were once common become a tongue in cheek in joke to those if us who remember. Those who don't remember do it as a person my age might decorate their homes with 1930's art deco trappings. Everything runs on a 20-25 year retro cycle.

Big Box

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.

Big Box @allman

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.

Haha Vguy

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.

06 22 79

Talkin 73

Don't forget Dick's Picks 19. 10/19/73 Oklahoma. Complete concert. Very good sound quality. Killer show.

Reconstruction

Thanks Shirdeep! Saw them many times during their short-lived existence, Jerry was on fire every for single show, arguably his best playing of that year was with Reconstruction. An official release would be welcome.

DP19

Agree. Amazing show and still one of my favorite releases.

Still over 10k left

Selling pretty slow for such a great value.

DP19

DP19 is my favorite release to date. Perfect from start to finish. I wonder if anything will be released to change that.

Spaced Out

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

DiP 19 10/19/73 - Perhaps my fav show of all time

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!

Feel that?

I felt the center of the universe shift just a little to the left...., I think a Sixtus may have been born... I can't BELIEVE we haven't gotten any updates. Where are his priorities?

Great Release Choice

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.

Payment refund

Are they gonna keep our $$ this many months in advance, or are they gonna refund it to us for now, and re-charge shortly before shipping?

anatomy

Good eye, drifter's. I totally missed that.

anatomy

Great catch indeed. Helen Lovejoy - will somebody think of the children.

anatomy....

....i don't get it.

anatomy

Look at the top large picture and focus on the 8 figures (male and female) that circle the center skull image.

30 Trips

I hope its better quality than the 30 trips box. My 30 trips box was cracked on arrival. Music is great, so the box is not that important.

10/19/73 Oklahoma City

This show contains my favorite Row Jimmy.

I Felt That!

Thin....you're on to something here... it certainly left a smokin crater in my mind I'd like to blown away! Our guy arrived just after 8'AM this morning....Tigran Victor Abrahamsen. That's Armenian, after Ingrid. She's doing excellent, we're all a little tired. BUT... Back to priorities; I'm still planning to stream tonight! Ha ha Ha from our hospital room. Long live Alpine Valley! Be well out there people. Sixtus

Happy 45th Birthday Weekend Portland 1973

PNW AME

While not likely I'd like to see an all music edition get released after the E72 crate & the 30TATS box I've run out of room to store these mega packaged releases call this one MiniZilla. It's Friday DeadLand did you kind folks PLAY DEAD today, here is a good selection for today 6/22/91.

Sixtus

Congratulations man. All the best to you and your crew.

Dick's Picks 19

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.

Hip Hip Hippy Hooray!

Sixtus so happy for you and yours. You and Jim and a couple of others may be the most energetic people I have ever seen. How you can keep us posted, be a married man, a father, an employee, wow! 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.

PNW All-Music-Edition

Hardly likely at this point. Only if this box sold out within the first four days or a very short time, much quicker than expected, would Rhino/Warner Music Group think of quickly creating an AME.

Tigran Sixtus

So you named her after Jerry's "Tiger" guitar... (or perhaps the Tiger jam?) I predict you get a Row Jimmy tonight for Tigran: "Rock your baby to and fro, Not too fast and not too slow."

Re: Hippychic & Dave's 16

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.

Row Jimmy tonight....

....that would be cool as shit. I'm gonna root for one! What's Become Of The Baby would be even more awesome!

The Box

This looks freaking awesome!! It's boxes like this and 30 Trips that make me hate the fact I lock them up in the shipping box and put the discs in slim cases. Easy money for me Dave keep them coming.

Sixtus & Skull & Jim and boy did that run amuck

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?

E72

E72 has all music only edition

Today in history....

https://archive.org/details/gd86-06-22.sbd.lai.388.sbefail.shnf/gd86-06… second set opener. Nice show for '86.

Congrats Sixtus Clan

Listening to 3-28-73 now and I don’t hear any hiss or other sound problems.In fact, sounds pretty damn good compared to the cassette tape collection I once had.

Also today in history

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.

Sixtus

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.

Portland 05-19-74

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!

Bucket opener tonight for Tigran

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.

Kindness Prevails! So Many Thanks

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

Mr. and Mrs. Sixtus

I would like to congratulate you both on the birth of your masculine child. -- Luca Brasi

welcome to this world, Tigran

y'all be cool

thank you vguy for the 6/22/86 link

great show never heard the first set until now have had the 2nd set on cassette for a long time it would a nice part of a Greek box set, Dave

anthem being released soon

then we'll know DaP27then we get the new box :)))

Viola Lee Tigran

They’re thinking of you and the family Sixtus.

D&C headband dude

Who is the guy with dark hair and headband that is in the front row of every D&C show?

Headband douche

Based on the leather vest I think this is him claiming his front row space. https://out.reddit.com/t3_7qk8t7?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimgur.com%2FMzAb5gI&… https://www.reddit.com/r/gratefuldead/comments/7qk8t7/friendly_reminder…

D&C Headband Dude

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

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