    "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.

    First let us know when next Dylan comes out. I'm still digging Bootleg V13, I love all the different arrangements of the songs. (I assumed you're talking about a Volume 14?) Next naming conventions. Anal also. I shorten Lovelight, to Lovelight. I also shorten It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It takes a Train to Cry, to It Takes a Lot to Laugh. Me and Uncle is Me & My Uncle. I agree as long as they're all the same. I shorten some names because the full file name can get too long for my backup program to handle. (something like - the collection/grateful dead/shows/yyyy-mm-dd - venue - city/soundboard/05 - It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry) Not sure what the length is, but you can see where length can come in. Doesn't happen often, but has happened. Also too some names are just too fuckin long (train to cry for one)! I've been labeling every JGB show ever done (feels that way for sure) and I've come to the conclusion Motown songs have the longest titles, half of which are always in parenthesis! Another odd naming convention I've noticed is on rap albums, a shitload of them always have an "intro" and "outro" tracks at the beginning and end of the album, odd, but whatever, just don't see it in other music genre.

    ..And Leave it On Revisited
    Oh was going to mention a few listenings: Just got the Anthem release, I've sampled a few of the Winterland show but haven't dug in yet. That Gibson sounds heavy heavy. Big Miles Davis kick here lately, just finished his autobiography which is awesome and hilarious. Highly recommend. Listening to the mono releases of his first Columbia LPs currently. New Punch Brothers today, haven't listened yet. Not a huge fan of their records necessarily just as much as their talent, Chris Thile is fantastic. Randomly had 4/2/90 second set come up so listened through that into 4/3/90. Maybe was just in the mood for some 90s, but really enjoyed both. Never realized each of Jerry, Brent, Weir take a verse on that last version of Death Don't Have No Mercy. Sweet!! Rumor / pseudo-confirmation that this Fall's Dylan Bootleg Series will finally revisit Blood on the Tracks. They released an acoustic Meet Me In The Morning on RSD back in 2012 when BOTT was planned for Bootleg Series 11 (even said so on the sleeve) but got shelved for a few years. Love the idea, though I'm really curious what is in the vault for that one. The outtakes we do know are limited..several outtakes of the released songs, but Up To Me, left off the album, is a killer. Though, I had never heard rumors of that acoustic Meet Me In The Morning so this could get interesting... Listening to Dead & Co jam on Lovelight from 6/10/17 now. Or is it Love Light?

    ..And Leave it On
    Excited for both this and DaP27, looks to be alot of quality stuff. Very glad to see the Dave's get outside the well-mined era. Not very familiar with '83 other than 10/21/83 Worcester from 30 Trips and for some reason I also have 5/13/83, Greek Theatre. I'm trying to remember why...first Hell In A Bucket? As for the PNW, I picked up Winterland '73 right when I was getting into the Dead and listened to it on my trip cross country to see Dylan in Seattle, so '73 and the Pacific Northwest have been inextricably linked for me from the get-go. I know we've discussed track labeling and ID3 tags here before, some funny discussion that doesn't make me feel alone in the anal retentiveness of my collection. On that subject, I am OCD that every iteration of a given song is named the same..having both Me & My Uncles and Me and My Uncles in the collection disgusts me. So current conundrum - Turn On Your Love Light or Turn On Your Lovelight? My go-to is always go back to the original recording or release of a song and see how it was listed at that time (this approach led to me changing 137 versions of Don't Think Twice, It's Alright to Don't Think Twice, It's All Right) and the original Bobby Blue Bland release in 1961 on Duke is in fact Turn On Your Love Light. But for some reason, Turn On Your Lovelight looks better to me, and I feel more used on Dead releases (though they are inconsistent). Any thoughts? Or I also understand not making eye contact with the crazy guy on the subway. My other request/question - Any good recommendations for a console CD player? I know it's not 1994, but my 300 disc Sony changer has crapped out. I'm going to take a look at it, but thought about finding another, maybe a 5-6 disc changer. I don't use the full 300 but thought more than 1-disc would be good for these sets. Surely someone here still listens to these quality CD releases on their home stereo. If it doesn't fit, you must acquit.

    Sell Outs
    We don't know how many subscribers there are on Dave's Picks, but production is capped at 18,000 per release. Based on the speed of sell outs i'm guessing there are between 15-16k subscribers, leaving only a few thousand up for grabs when they're announced. Again, that's a guess. There could be 17,800 subscribers. As noted, there are 15,000 units of the PNW box. I too am a little surprised its not sold out yet. I agree it's probably a combination of the fact it can be downloaded rather than physically delivered, combined with the higher (but by no means unreasonable, given the price per show) price point. I'm also shocked by the availability of the Summer '78 box set, given the quality of the shows and recordings, and the price point.

    A $30 DaP is easier to purchase than a $200+ box. The good news is that any true Deadhead can stop in and buy (3) 1973 shows and (3) 1974 shows just as fine as you please.

    Hmmm.... thanks for the cautionary words Jim & Dennis. I should make clear that I was not advocating a course of action, just reporting on something that happened 45 years ago. Stevie Ray made well known Guitar Slim's song: Things that I used to do, Lord, I won't do no more. Ain't it the truth, that was a one timer. At the time, it seemed like a good idea given that none of us really drank hard stuff, we were barely adults with a small tent and a cooler walking into who knew what. We did not know 600,000 would show up. The best beers we could find at the time were from Germany, Holland and Scotland. But they were so expensive! Bulky! St Pauli Girl, Spaten, Heineken, MacEwans. We loved beer but craft brews were yet to come. President Carter does not get enough credit for sparking what would become craft brewing by signing new law in 1978 and it would take at least ten more years before craft brewing began to take off. It was illegal to brew beer at home in some cases! Just think about how far beer has come in the last thirty years or so. We thought dosing a bottle which no one would dare chug (101 proof, right?) would be a convenient way to keep track of and merge little tiny dots or pieces of paper, which were sometimes notoriously variable in strength. Bourbon is for sipping! Jim's comment made me chuckle, what could possibly go wrong? Whatever can, often does. The sheer number of people and the weather that Saturday was the biggest challenge. Fortunately we escaped unscathed. I will refrain from any further comments involving attitude or altitude adjustments by external means, other than music. However, as you might imagine, there was a lot of availability on site of unknown provenance and authenticity. Be prepared was our Boy Scout motto. Safety First! See the cover for Only a Lad, Oingo Boingo for more details...

    16 minutes, from the show that brought us the monster 43 minute Dark Star on the 2011 Road Trips Bonus Disc. I had two versions of this soundboard. One sounded really good, but had an audience patch at the end; the other one didn't have the audience patch, but it sounded extremely rough in the beginning. I combined the two at around 15:27 for one complete good sounding track (38MB 320kbps mp3 converted from WAV) Link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1t-DyrL7b9q6VvSw51B44caLcxxIw09mW

It always amused me that Sonny needed an older generation Italian to "translate" the Sicilian message, "Luca Brasi Sleeps with the Fishes". What if Clemenza wasn't there at that hour to interpret? Sonny would have been like "hey check out this new wall decoration someone sent as a get well gift for Pop...this is so cool....a couple of fish in a bulletproof vest - why didn't I think of that?!?" And then Tom Hagen is like, "no Sonny, this is a Sicilian message" and Sonny's like "I know Tom, I know! I didn't want to discuss too much of the family business in front of Michael - but as always, our trusted concierge, you know best." And turning to Michael, Sonny says, "Tom's right... It's a Sicilian message alright... It means, if Pop makes it through this, he needs to start wearing a bulletproof vest..."

Congratulations, Ingrid, Tigran, and Sixtus! Today is Robert Hunter's birthday, I believe. The word gifts given us by this master poet make the music we all cherish infinitely more fascinating. Without Robert's lyrics, I know I would not crave this band as much as I do. Even on song versions where the group's playing may lack a certain X Factor, I can always take interest in, and find new depth in Robert's poems. Happy Birthday, Robert! You are a crucial member of the Grateful Dead.

I am continuing my gentle canter through Europe 1972, and today was Amsterdam, 5/10/72. Its a show that meant absolutely nothing to me-I've played it before-3 or 4 times , I guess, but nothing stuck in my mind about it. Surprising-because its amazing! The first set-in fact the first two cds are pretty good-like any other cds of a band you like playing at the top of their game. Its on the 3rd cd that things really take off-an incredible jam from Truckin' to The Other One-Me and Bobby Mcghee-The Other One and winding up with Wharf Rat. One of the best uses of a wah wah pedal I have ever heard. A truly exceptional sequence of music. The 4th cd feature some more high energy music, punctuated by another excellent Sing Me Back Home. If they hadn't played so many other great shows in Europe 1972-and maybe if they hadn't all been released at the same time (not that I'm complaining) this would surely have been heralded as one of the best shows of all time. I normally leave a gap after playing a Europe 72 show...but after this I felt like some more-so off we go into Rotterdam for the following night. Great news from Sixtus, too-happy days indeed!

It would be nice to see a portion of the proceeds for this amazing release being donated to the tribes of the Northwest Coast for using their traditional story-telling iconography. This is by far the the most beautiful cover art to ever grace the band's albums.

Any indication of the size of the actual box? Dave mentioned in his seaside chat that he was thinking about displaying this box in his home as a de facto piece of art or some sort of display piece. Despite my wife's love for Vancouver Island and the fact that we already have a Roy Henry Vickers print hanging in our home, that will be a tough sell in my house if this box is ginormous, beautiful as it may be.

Been diving into early 80s Grateful Dead recently. While the setlists may seem uninteresting on paper, this era contains some of the most imaginative playing of the band's career; particularly Jerry. I listened to the Dane County show and Poplar Creek shows from 1983 this weekend. Jerry's playing is inventive and different. He seemed to be at the peak of his creative power in the early 80s, before the diabetes and health issues really began to take effect. This is a generally unfamiliar era for me, with scores of shows I've never heard, but it's worth digging around a little bit, and you will find yourself pretty blown away.

First - I always only type "Mississippi Half-Step" in my song titles. I have found if the titles get too long I can have file path names that are too long for my backups. This isn't the bone. The "Bone" - I'm working thru the labeling of D&C shows and I find they played a show at the "Ruoff Home Mortgage Music Center"!!! What the hell kind of name is that!?! Nothing said musical entertainment like home mortgage. Remember when they called them things like "performing art centers",, "memorial stadiums" (sure we memorialize our troops until we could sell the name for a buck) This is a thing I wish they stop. You see a name today like "Preparation H Hemorrhoidal Stadium" and NEVER think you're seeing the Yankees. The other side I hate,,, everytime we talk about corporate tax we hear corps don't pay taxes, customers do. Then who the hell is paying for the name on the building???? Can you show me one report that shows return on advertising dollars from stadium naming rights! Ok, bone picked. Back to what you were doing.

Excellent, entertaining read; very detailed and fascinating insight into all the business aspects of post-Jerry years, as well as all the inter personal ups and downs. All things considered, not as ugly as I expected; Jill Lesh comes across as a greedy control freak, the exit of Steve Kimock was particularly unpleasant. Other than that, it's pretty much typical band arguments. Of note, was the disagreements regarding tempos and loudness, with Bobby insisting on slowing everything down to emphasize lyrics, and wanting Phil to turn down his bass(sacrilege!) Oh, we also learned that rowdy Billy K. grabbed Jill's breastusses backstage...

I recall there being some drama as Kimock left The Other Ones.... He appeared a week or so later at a separate event and, If I recall correctly, he got a rousing ovation and flipped an emphatic double-bird, as if at his previous band mates.. Can someone give a quick thumbnail gyst of that beef? I call the song in question simply "Half Step." I think the multiple "official" names are just a SNAFU, similar to "Brown Eyed Women" being given a typo and accidentally listed (and officially published as) "Brown Eyed Woman" (singular instead of plural) on Europe '72. As for song tempos and bass volume, etc... I'm in a band - these topics are all pawns in a power struggle. As with all rock bands, you get to a point where you're not going to back down after xxx years.... Me, I like the slower tempos - most of the time it works, but sometimes yes, it drags. As for bass volume, my experience is the bass may be too loud on stage, but away from the stage it sounds just right - this is why bass players are often placed on a far corner of the stage, not in the middle, as Phil likes to do sometimes.

Steve Parish & Ramrod fired by the Leshes; they resented the fact that Jill was making decisions such as how to load/unload equipment, and what attire was acceptable or not on stage.Parish told Kimock he should be making more $$ Kimock asks Jill for a raise, Jill goes on a tirade. Kimock leaves the room. Jill catches up with him, yelling and then throws a bunch of crumpled dollar bills at Kimock, while shouting "you want more money?" Kimock left the tour the next day, quoting Dylan and Hunter on his website. After reading the book, it's obvious all these people had really bad tempers!!

I think Kimock split from a Phil and Friends Tour Fall '99. We saw P&F play 3 shows at The Fillmore in Denver, 10/21-23. Band was Phil, Steve, John Molo, Paul Barrere and Billy Payne. Fun line up. Steve was also with Phil and Warren at Red Rocks that August. I remember a guy with a "Got Kimock?" shirt (play on got milk?) in line outside Fillmore one night. From there, band was hooking up with Dylan's band for a series of shows. Whatever went down happened at Fillmore or at next show on tour (10/27), as Steve (or someone for him) sent out a cryptic email 10/28 that he had left tour. Sigh. I'll have to do some time traveling and revisit those shows on sugarmegs. I loved the instrumental Stella Blue they were playing in those days. At Red Rocks they played Stella -> Wish You Were Here. Yowza.
