    "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.

    Glad to tell tales on myself...
    Funny, I still remember key details like the pink shirt with white polka dots I wore at the show. The afternoon ABB show was killer. Then the afternoon thunderstorm that drenched everyone while The Band played, stopped and finished their set with the lights on. Our idyllic little encampment from the Friday night soundcheck was a sordid pit of mud and abandoned blankets. A day and a half of boogeying on our feet, tripping massively, awash in loud rock 'n roll... Is it any wonder that I was done with festivals for the rest of my life? Even Englishtown's 100,000 was a bit too much at the time. Still, great show! There is no question that the event and other GD shows that summer and fall altered my trajectory. I began backpacking solo in the Adirondacks in NY state (black bear country), did the Green Mtns in Vermont, White Mtns in New Hampshire (almost killed in bad weather on Mt. Washington, where little crosses on the mountain say, "Joe Blow last seen near this area"; not "Joe Blow died here," but "last seen near this area" and the date would be years earlier, so obviously no one was waiting for Joe to show back up again). Then the big trip, thumbing from East Coast to West Coast and back in '74, turning 17 on the road -- of course, I thought I was a big boy by then. My poor folks, no cell phones and I was gone for months. Missed the GD that summer and ended up in San Franciso, walking past the Mars Hotel (LP had been out in July/Aug) trying to sell a cheap watch for food (succeeded). Heard about the October shows, but had nothing, no money, no friends in the area, nothing to do but hitch home and ... go to freakin' high school(!). That didn't go well. I got stories. And now, about to turn 61, and still doing the solo backcountry for the past 32 years in the high desert of NW Colo / NE Utah. Pretty alienated at times from ordinary life but still catching shows -- last night at Red Rocks: Tedeschi-Trucks band (back tonight, yea!). And the boomers remain my medicine a handful of times per year. Keeps me on track and has for 46 years. Puts me closer to rock and sky, though I've lowered the dose as I aged. Just don't require as much to get the inner synch going with the universe. Cheers! Maybe tonight Susan will sing Sugaree.............

    LET ME SING YOUR BLUES AWAY
    Lyrics By: Robert Hunter Music By: Keith Godchaux Well hop in the hack, turn on the key Pop in the clutch let the wheel roll free Not a cloud in the sky, such a sunny day Push in the button let the top ten play Come on honey, let me sing 'em away Come on honey, let me sing 'em away Oh, honey, let me sing your blues away. Give me a little of that old time love 'Cause I ain't never had near enough Honey, walk that walk With style and grace This ain't no knock-down, drag-out race. It doesn't matter much, pick any gear Grind you a pound and drop the rear Baby, baby, what can I say I'm here to drive those blues away. I sent a letter to a man I know Said one for the money and two for the show I wait all summer for his reply Said three to get ready and four to fly. Only two things in this world I love That's rock and roll and my turtle dove. When I was a young man, I needed good luck But I'm a little bit older now and I know my stuff. Come on honey let me sing 'em away Come on honey let me sing 'em away Oh honey let me sing your blues away

    Watkins Glen vs. Led Zeppelin
    Unfortunately I could not attend the Glen since I was at MSG in NYC to see Led Zeppelin that night! This was the 2nd night of a 3 night run that was filmed and became the movie The Song Remains The Same. This was the famous n8ght that the hotel safe was burglarized and the band "claimed" to have lost $150K. (In today's dollars that is more like one million). Mystery still surrounds that whole thing. Never trust Peter Grant! His only allegiance was to LZ. All week leading up to the show we were worried about rumors that LZ was going to blow off the Garden and go to the Glen. Thank goodness that did not happen! LZ was loud and phenomenal. I will never forget Page prancing around the stage in his black outfit with the embroidered dragons and such. Plus, we had just seen the ABB at the Garden on the Sat. night before the Glen! Talk about a wealth of musical riches. I had seen my first Dead show in Buffalo, 4 months earlier. 3/31 to be exact. A show that is sandwiched nicely between DaP16, 3/28 in Springfield, and DaP21, 4/2 Boston Garden. (I just finished up listening DaP16 and am now listening to DaP21) I am always hoping for its release but I doubt that will come to pass. I finished up the first disc of DaP27 and it cranks. Jerry is getting it done there for sure! Rock on

    And... now... for something... completely different: If you like a high energy, well played later 80's show that was broadcast on the FM way back, here's March 31st, 1987 Grateful Dead at The Spectrum in Philadelphia Pa., on the area's leading rock broadcaster at the time, WMMR, 93.3 FM, here is a recording of that broadcast: https://archive.org/details/gd1987-03-31.fm.braverman.7357.shnf/gd87-03… In my opinion, it would be a good addition to the current Dave's Picks Series

    Hendrixfreak,Thank you very much for your great stories of RFK & Watkins Glen! You're not going to win the Pulitzer Prize for Literature for them, perhaps only just the "Golden Bong Prize" from High Times. A+ My 1st rock concert and 1st GD show was 6/10/73, I was a sweet 16 going on 17. I don't remember too much other than it was very hot and humid. We were in the lowest part of the stands and and looking right we could see the stage. Looking directly straight we saw the soundboard/PA and lighting control "island." Just smoking some grass was involved in that event. We were unable to go to Watkins Glen later that July. Again, I deeply appreciate your stories of RFK & Watkins Glen.

    Thanks HendrixFreak & DMCVT
    I was eleven in '73 and at sleepaway camp in the Catskills. I knew of the Dead through the bootleg tapes (TDK SA-90) our counselors played nonstop. Those two classic B&W posters of the band in front of Mickeys barn and the one of Garcia in his skeleton jacket was in almost every bunk. It provided the roots to an education, adventure, life philosophy that continues today. I recall hearing the words "Watkins Glen" so often that summer from the counselors that went to the show and knew something great had gone down and lived on those stories all summer. Hendrixfreak & DMCVT's posts bring me right back to those amazing days. The photos are excellent, from the dedhed fashions to the flip top beers, the cars, the lack of merchandise.... I loved looking at every detail in the photos, makes the listening experience even greater. Now 56 sitting in my dedhed themed cabana on the Jersey shore, Im grateful for your posts as all my listening today will consist of only those three bands.

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.
