    "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.

    Like 89 Alpine....Had new job and no money from taking several months off in 88 while “working for the state” still had Florida fall 88 debt to cover etc, so not able to do as much as usual. Also, my semi-respectable Cousin had new REAL job etc. so we only got to do 17&18th. He had a brand new Grand Prix, so me being the “Neal” back then he had me drive. Don’t recall too much, just we were stuck in the main paved lot, sleeping in the car etc. Amazing show on 17, great on 18th, but all that rain, and they had just resodded and I believe made the hill bigger/steeper to add more capacity. So of course the sod was washing away and down would go huge groups of heads down the side of the hill when the sod gave way, wheeeee! Talk about a mud fest! I think I ended up on one little island of stubborn sod that held fast, just enough room for me to boogie on all alone in the middle of a sea of mud ; ) But then I had to drive all night back to WNY to get us both to work! Funny thing, 2nd day we were trying to leave to find a hose some where and some real grub. So we’re waiting by exit to pull out, and little tiny clown like car full of like 10 kids are taking forever to pull out. Finally she starts to go, but hesitates and stops, then she try’s again, but had not returned car to drive after backing up so as not to stick out into road, so next thing we know, this car with freaks hanging out the window etc, smashes into my Cousins beautiful brand new car. Of course like 10 state troopers are standing there watching the whole comical scene! Luckily they left me totally alone, and only fucked with the other driver, and my cousins car wasn’t too bad (minor bumper dent etc). That could of turned ugly for me very fast...... Have 2 even better stories from Alpine 87, but perhaps another time. Seems only my evil twin and I really appreciate the old war stories?

    Great story, thanks for sharing. Have many similar memories, usually no planes involved, but often calling in “sick” from hotel pay phones (had to pre pay long distance so when Louy the boss answered, the operator wasn’t there lol) and many a night I would drive us ALL night so we could make it to work the next morning....Some day I’ll have to break some out.... Oh too be young again...

    Phew, what a weekend. 2 fine D&C shows Friday and Saturday. Received a care package of 2 DPs and 2 RTs from real gone Monday off, so Rocked out to new shows all day, and of course the announcement of DaP 27! Friday was all over the place, a few fine peaks, a couple of Train wrecks, but the Terrapin>St Stephen>the 11 made all worth while. Definetly worth checking out! Great job on those! The rest of the set not too shabby either... Saturday more consistency, all around good show, but nothing mind blowing. Was hoping for the DS, but.... Personally, I’m stoked for some 83. More hot shows in there than many realize; not a “taper” so do not have encyclopedic knowdlege, but know 4/12, 4/15, 4/16, 4/17, 6/22, 8/27; 10 14+15, 10/23; and of course that MSG St Steve’s are all hot shows, Sounds like I need to check out the Santa Fe stuff too? To all who are disappointed, remeber folks the Band played for THIRTY years, not 4! “And every year always has some great moments, and at least a few great shows, (Just gotta poke around) so get over it, and be grateful that we have such amazing, still flowing, realeses to bitch about. Oy, such 1st world problems... Unfortunately, Dave pretty much spells out the source situation, but he also says there is more usable stuff.... Just hope it sounds great. I know first hand how amazing 10/14 and 3/27/88 were live, amazing shows, some of the best I was fortunate enough to see, but the realeses don’t seem to fully bring that out. I remember thinking that 10/14 everyone in the whole production was on that night. The band kicked ass, the sound was amazing, even sitting on the side in that old barn, and the lights, phheeww. Lil red sweethearts didn’t hurt either... Now, I do still enjoy this realese, Hell I live for realeses of good shows I was at, but imho it just doesn’t fully translate? I think perhaps it’s not as much breathing room as a multi-track, and definetly less dynamic range.... Point being it still is a great listen and I thank Dick every time I fire it up. So even though it’s not a full Norman, multi-track from fall 73, I’m gonna love it, hope all y’all can too....rember Eecktar’s rule of relativity, “a little bit of somethin is better than all of nothing” ; ) So be Grateful!

    The Grateful Dead leased the vault to Rhino for 10 years, in about 2005. Rhino spent 30 million. That contract was renewed a year or two ago. Rhino owns the licensing rights for ALL recordings, merchandise, logos, emblems, and this website. That to me is selling the vault.

    I only noticed after The Dead came to England in 1981-reading a review of a show I hadn't been to revealed that they had played a completely different set to the one I had heard. The broadcast Essen Germany show from March 1981 was also different from the show I had seen. In those days, most live albums seemed to be compilations of songs from the whole tour, rather than a recording of one particular show, which suggested the same set list played throughout. Obviously both Europe 72 and Steal Your Face fell into this category. Both horrendously, misrepresentative too, but that's another story. Occasionally one show was featured - The Who's Live at Leeds comes to mind. But having recently heard their Live at Hull album from the some tour, the level of similarity from show to show for some bands verged on the uncanny.

    The longer the better right? If you're looking for something off the beaten path, try 12/18/73. That whole damn show needs to be released. 6/30/73 is pretty good too. I think Roanoke too, I forget the date....Sept something 74

    Shit.. early on (at least for me) it was more like both going to all I can afford and somehow not creating the optics that I didn't care about fiscal responsibility and was not robbing trains to support my GD habit. 35 years later.. not much has changed. Looking back.. I could have probably found a way to see at least another few shows if I was just a little smarter about it, but I did what I could. And what and adventure it was (and still is).

    That was a revelation, and that's one of the things that hooked me. I think I got that at the BCT August 72 shows. I realized I could see a totally different show, and maybe hear the songs I wanted to hear but didn't. It's also interesting because we talked about the different musical genres in each night, 'Yeah that was the spacey night, next night was the rockin' night. That was it. I started going to all three,(four? five? six?) and also started traveling to shows on the west coast. Oh what fun times!

    ....yeah. I realized that during Long Beach '87. "And they won't repeat a song?" Some head sitting next to me. "Nope." Me. Staring blankly. "But it's Sunday. Dammit!" All bets were off after that revelation....a year later, I hit all 3 Long Beach shows, and was trading tapes ravenously. We had six tape decks going at once for a while. Grate times. And there's nothing weird about Desolation Row. Hindsight is 20/20. Back then, that was a bathroom song. Stupid youth....

    Great show.. I realize as I write this that it might sound weird.. but I really loved that Desolation Row (from 7/19), might just be my favorite part of the DVD. Ok.. add in the Deal. The start of the second set is amazing too, a great China>Rider, Playing UJB SOTM. Wow. I didn't catch that one, so I'm glad it was released on DVD at least.

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.
