    "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.

    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.

    Dylan live
    I saw Dylan live for the first time last year. He played Tangled Up and Blue and about five songs form the 60s. With some of them-Desolation Row particularly, I had no idea what song was being played until he started singing, the arrangements were so different. Well worth seeing, though. I like all the last 4 albums he made featuring self penned material. Love and Theft is the one I keep going back to. Amazing that The Orb are doing a 30th anniversary tour-they still seem like modern music to me. They distinguished themselves in my eyes through Steve Hillage's involvement. Incidentally, if anyone out there likes Steve's music, there is an incredible box set of his available called Searching For The Spark. All the great albums, live shows previously unavailable, outtakes, two books, posters-one of them signed, a badge and plectrum. Every home should have one.

    Vguy, that old Bryce
    Yeah, Bryce Canyon is a one of a kind place. Took my 91 year old mother in law there last fall, and she thought she'd seen everything until then. All of those Utah national parks are unique in their own way. I take hundreds of photos, but none come close to the feeling you get by being there all immersed in it. Bryce blows you away from the rim drive views, but only when you get down into the trails among the spires do you realize the true majesty of the place. Just got back from another trip to Sedona, which I consider the most beautiful small town I've been to, even up against places like Telluride, Aspen, Santa Fe and Laguna Beach. The red rocks there have a mood for every sun strike, cumulus cloud filled blue sky, and ferocious bolt of lightning wreaking havoc in the distance. Just drive 10 minutes and the view from another angle is completely different. Hundreds of miles of trails all over and just outside town too. Anyway, I picked up my PNW box today being held by my neighbor. In mint condition, and I looked at the playing side of every disc. No finger prints, scratches, gouges, or nicks. Listening to my second disc right now, so far so good. Hoping it all runs through that way. Box and packaging is as glorious as promised, and even the wife with her architect's eye was impressed. Excellent sound so far, as many have said. This will undoubtedly be a main cornerstone of my '73-'74 collection, and will get a lot of play. No matter how many times I try (and I have), the '73-74 with all of its clean and polished precision can not quite move me like '68-'72, with its raw and rough energy, emotional peaks, and that undefinable "sound" that to me is the heart and soul of the GOGD. But it comes damn close, and I'm more than grateful for this release. I love the packagings of these box sets - yep, it enhances the experience for me substantially. Oh, and Jimbo - any movie with Gene Hackman and Delroy in it is ok by me. I think Delroy is an Oakland local around here, though I've never seen him out and about. Did see Danny Glover at an Oakland coffee shop midday one time when almost nobody else was around though...

    I would love another 1969 release right about now... maybe something from those returned reels? Or October 1972, we've never had anything from then (maybe the vault is utterly void there, though?) And of course October 1973 hasn't been hit since way back at Dicks #19!! Maybe there's no way to clean up that weirdness perpetrated on the Let It Grow of 10/25/73? -- damn shame if so...

    5/21/74 PITB download
    Does anyone know if the download issues for the 5/21/74 PITB was resolved? Have been back and forth on wether to go with the downloads or the physical box. I usually get the physical product, but am mostly interested in the music and rip the discs anyhow. The product usually goes back in the shipping box and stored until I have a good place to display, even then it likely would not be all of them.

    I wonder how many of these have damaged discs. I bought the vinyl set, but haven't pulled the trigger on the box yet; after reading all the complaints here, I might just wait until I find one on Ebay from someone who has successfully ripped all the discs. It will probabaly take as long to sell out as the July 78 box(which hasn't sold out yet...)

    Money. It's a gas....
    ....one could say money attributed to Jerry's death. By the '90's, the Dead's payroll got so huge, that Garcia wouldn't take a break for fear of the employees well-being. Or so I've heard. A double-edged sword. The band went from a fine tuned machine to a broken one. I didn't consider that back then. I was young and just having fun. Hindsight is 20/20. ....still on vacation but back home now. Bryce Canyon in Utah is so breathtaking. It's gets the Vguy family's highest recommendation. Took a three hour horseback tour. Wake up to find out you are the eyes of the world indeed. Everyone needs to witness it in person. Pictures do not do it justice. In the back of my mind I kept wondering what it would be like while dosed. Sensory overload....

    re: Dylan
    I saw Dylan in 2015 or 2016; it was a very mellow show with lots of stuff from his last 4 albums and very few classics. Still very good, but different if the Dylan you know is pre-1980 (or even pre-2005). A lot of Frank Sinatra standards and covers. Since then he's opened up the setlist a lot more, with about 10 "Classic Era Dylan" songs per show. It's a good balance. If you haven't seen or heard Dylan lately, I highly recommend 2012's Tempest, which is probably my favorite Dylan album since Desire. Scarlet Town and Pay in Blood are two of the best songs he's ever written.

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!

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!!

………..lost in a shaft of sunlight, The wild thyme unseen, or the winter lightning Or the waterfall, or music heard so deeply That it is not heard at all, but you are the music While the music lasts. T.S. Eliot

Just popped in 6/26/76 Relaxing, sipping a brewski I feel bad for Heads that don't get '76. Such good vibes. Looking forward to the Playin>St.Stephen>Wheel>Playin' sandwich

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.
