"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.

Of course here we are giving the rat pos just that, lol Ironic eh?Is it just me, or does it seem like this human hemroid is perhaps Gene Simmons? Gene has certainly never withheld his disdain for freaks, Hell, he shat alll over Ace, even though he was the talent. Why, because he was a freak! He has the 1) time 2) Money 3) hate So yeah, Shanon probably has finally permanently cut him off, and at that age viagra has to add up, even if you are, greedy, filthy rich, so why not troll around and try and ruin what little joy some mostly hard working, believe it or not in this day and age, average folks are trying to have, to relax, with what little time they have. You da man dipshit! Rock on, and may the wheels of Karma...... ok, that’s enough repulsive negativity. “When your lost in the rain in Juarez and it’s Easter time too, and your gravity fails you, and negativity won’t pull you through”

The unboxing of the box....

....I'd rather not have a vid of that posted. I'd rather unbox it myself. Takes me back to when I was a 12 yrs old and I want a Millennium Falcon for Christmas. Went through all my presents and no Falcon. Sad face ensued. Until my Dad said, "looks like Santa dropped a present behind the sofa. Let's see what we got here." Good fakeout Dad. I miss you.

Woodstock 94

I was fortunate to work at 94. Still to this day unbelevable. We were assigned to the original site for first couple days, located up the hill near the big peace sign. Breifly at Liberty fest also, then only because we sold out of a uhual worth of merch were we able to hit the Big commercial Saugerties venue. By the time we drove up there and checked in etc, we hit the site around midnight on Saturday night. Saw the last acts of Saturday, which ended close to dawn. Sunday I was given the day off, so got to see Allmans brothers band with a very young Dereck Trucks on Same Thing, Santana, Traffic and Jimmy Cliff amount others. Being on site the next day was surreal, Hell the whole experience was! I won’t tell the whole tale unless all y’all ask for it....

And now for something completely different

Check this out sports fans!Beautiful, tiny Ford Amphitheater, 8/17+18/18 Can’t find a set list yet and a let’s just say a good time was had by all, ahem, it all rolls into one, so I’ll wait on the review.... Can you imagine if this “band” was actually a real, rehearsing, touring unit! Recollection was first night seemed a bit more tight? Smoking out of the gate, couple lulls in the second set, but overall hot night. Second night started out slower, but eventauly were able to hit the sonic blaster now and again. First night good UJB and great Shakedown to close first set (I think? Hey I’m old so STFU ; ) ) Second night surprisingly more dead; Great Scarlet, Stela Blue, Crazy Fingers, and a good, high energy St. Stephen, didn’t see that coming! I’m sure much of my opinion is experientally biased and by the awesome venue etc, but what they occasionally lacked in tightness or what not musically, they more than made up for with energy, vibe, love? .....they just had this incredible vibe physically pouring out of them, not counting $ per drumbeat in a stadium..... Friday, as Friday shows will be, the energy was amazing, the crowd, the band, the music. Saturday seemed to be a tad more laid back, and as I say, started a little slower. Friday seemed a bit more consistent, rehearsed? Hard to find right words to describe (fucking words!). Perhaps it’s because they were stepping out of the comfort zone on Saturday? But considering, I mean how much do these folks even play together? Oteil, what can I say, I love this guy. He has so much soul and love radiating from his body, it is still making me smile just thinking about it. He truly took this band to the next level. Melvin! Good ole Melvin, and who knew he could sing so well. I’m not sure I’ve ever heard him sing, but what an amazing version of Heavans Door he did, and of course with the Jerretts, very soulful. And a Trucks on drums, definetly felt this great ABB vibe in some jams, these guys could I’m sure easily bust out some Allman’s proper! THIS folks is what it’s all supposed to be about, the love, the music, the vibe. D&C was great, the Boulder Terrapin>St Steven>the 11 I got to see was awesome, and they have some great peaks, and there is some vibe, but something about the last 2 nights just seemed imho, to blow that all away. Nugs had it up, and would imagine just like the RR show last year will eventually be up for free? Check the clips out for a taste. Of course these stupid, dry, dierect audio feeds miss what the sound was really like but hey, it’s better than a sharp stick in the eye! https://youtu.be/fxJ0yEW9Veg https://youtu.be/3s8_vIM5OMc https://youtu.be/3s8_vIM5OMc

Tedeschi Trucks Band

So I'm listening to the radio the other week, and The Tedeschi Trucks Band comes on. I'm saying to myself, "This is GOOD stuff!" So my questions is, What are some performance CD's that I could buy? Thanks all. Have a grateful day. Can't wait for the box set.

I'm on the fence....

....if I even want to read that book.

Re: KevJones/'76

Well said. I get '76 GD. When I am in the mood.. there is nothing more soothing. That being said, I get in the mood for just about every era if you give it enough time. When I am in the mood and find just the right show, it's like food for the soul and keeps me going. 1976. Yes please. Mattress Firm Amphitheater. They better have some really comfortable seats..

not inclined at all

to read Fare Thee Well. Do want to read Barlow's Mother American Night.

RE: using "their" traditional story-telling iconography

The artist, Roy Henry Vickers, is a Canadian First Nations artist.

Fare Thee Well

Will not read it.Fare thee well the book will be relegated to the close out book store sale tables of the near future, whereas the work of John Barlow will last as long as humans still listen to music.

JImInMD RE:76

Yes, I wait all year to listen to 1976 Dead. Particularly June and July each year. So much fun. Has a little of that pre-retirement vibe, but also moving towards the tightness of 1977. The most wholly unique year in the band's history in my opinion.

76 :)))

I love it

1976 tangent

Is there anything better than a '76 Scarlet or Lazy Lightning/Supplication? I wait all year to listen to the June '76 shows. They are so special. Again, the most unique year in the band's history. Where else will you find Help>Slip>Frank, St. Stephen, Cosmic Charlie and Crazy Fingers all sharing the same setlist? Disco Dancins? Not to mention High Time, stand alone Playin's and Eyes with the '74 jam (Stronger Than Dirt) at the beginning of the song. So magical Oh, and don't forget those muscular NFAs

Just ordered Barlow's bio....

....no fence on that tome. Regarding '76 Dead. It hits all the right spots when I want those spots hit, which may not occur every day, but those days do arrive.

Spinal Tap

Rock and roll wives can be trouble. The Beatles. Spinal Tap.

Someone earlier was asking....

....what the PNW 73/74 Box dimensions are. Let's hope they don't pull a Stonehenge ala Spinal Tap.

fare thee well, or good bye Phil and Jill

Yes, it's sketchy, why Steve left, who wants to just play in a band when the leaders wife runs the show (a non musician running a band never works out). I remember rumors of her telling them all there would be NO drugs on tour, not even joints. When Steve got caught catching a fire, she flipped out on him, told him that Phil could not take the temptation and that druggies were not welcome. I too would have told her to go ...herself. Furthur broke up due to the drug use by the band around Jill, not Phil. In my opinion, Jill broke up the band, not drug use. Then she sells out for one more big paycheck that was FTW. Should have been called LTR (laid to rest) The FTW line up had no heart, because she has no clue what the band was meant to be and could be with the love that made them what they were. She will go down forever as the Yoko Ono of the Grateful Dead. Now, no one but Bobby will play with Phil, so, she took all the toys and went home, how's that working for you now. Phil went from one of the greats to being a restaurant owner. Sad, really sad.

smile, smile, smile

What’s been posted about the FTW book is enough to appease my curiosity. I get it-- can imagine what it would be like if I was still living in a house with my old college buddies and their girlfriends. Tempers flare hottest around those you know best. Best to just go on your own and listen to some June ’76. Cat on a tin roof, dogs in a pile....

'76 Indeedee

Kevjones I'm right there with you man. They don't call me Seventy-Sixtus for nothin' And never forget June 11th 1976, which I tout at least 76 times a year - an all time favorite among many other favorites in a favorite year. FAVORITE!! https://archive.org/details/gd1976-06-11.141709.sbd.miller.fixed.flac16… Tigran comes home today. I'll put some '76 on for him. Seventy-Sixtus

76......

.......not a big fan. It seems I'm in the minority here (-all dead is good dead-) but it lacks the imagination of 72-74, and lacks the power of 77 (or 78). I'm hoping for some primal 60's or 79-81, now that I just got 6 hot shows from 73-74. But hey, I'm sure I will be happy with whatever I get. Hope everyone is well. I've been listening to a lot of Yes lately, as I'm seeing them in Detroit on Saturday. Close to the Edge is an album that always works for me.

Jill Lesh....

....sounds like a bitch. I bet she rocks one of those "I want to see your manager" bob hair styles too.

76

Huge fan of 76, my 1st show was 10/9; by the fall of that year they were firing on all cylinders. Too bad(for us) they took such a long break before new year's eve, the last show 10/15 is a barn burner with one of the best 2nd sets of the year.

re: 76 - got some DL V4 spinning

All this seventysixtus talk... Got the Capitol Theatre show streaming from the Download Vol4 release. Never gave those DL's the nurturing they deserve. I guess I'm biased towards the physical product I can hold in my hand... Bonus nothing better than a Mission in the Rain from 1976 unless it's one from JGB in 1978 ;)

76

I'm with Doc (and Thursday) on this one. 76 = The GD on Valium. Does nothing for me. Lot's of folks love it, but I get bored silly listening to it. By the way D&C seem to be headed down that path as well. The summer shows have been way to slow for my taste.

Slow D&C

The cause of the slow tempos are detailed in the FTW book; it's all Bobby's doing: his concept is to sing the songs very slowly, to emphasize the story telling aspect of them. I'm guessing he might have gotten that from Jerry, for example when he slowed down Friend of the Devil(which I never understood: the original tempo conveyed the running from the devil exactly perfect)

RE: fare thee well, or good bye Phil and Jill

Well said Unkle Sam... "She will go down forever as the Yoko Ono of the Grateful Dead."

re FTW

To me phil comes off as playing in a Grateful Dead covers band. I never have had any interest is seeing any post dead. It seems that Bob is trying not to recreate what the dead did but pay the music homage by presenting it in a different light. I am now interested in seeing Bob again in something like his campfire band or even Dead and company. I think like the wheel he has moved on from the past and embraced the present with a view to the future. Good for you Bob and our drummers.

FTW and 1976-count me out

I can't say I'll be rushing to read this book on Fare Thee Well. From what people are saying on here it sounds ghastly. In fact, I'm amazed such a book has been published. I'm not keen on 1976, either. Some of the drifting jams appeal to me-but it sounds like a massive comedown from all the previous years to me. It seems quite an easy listening sort of year. And the shows in 1975 had such promise, too.

D&C slowness

Was watching the rebroadcast of the Mansfield show and one of the commenters who was commenting (or was that trolling) during the broadcast was railing against the slowness and suggested changing the stream to 1.25. I did that and boy did the music seem normal pace. I felt that the D&C shows I saw at Fenway and the Boston Garden were painfully slow last year. More so than the Worcester show for that 1st D&C tour or that first Fenway run (Loved that Acoustic Dark Star). I still loved going to those shows, but after seeing D&C 7 times probably not up for the exorbitant prices the enterprise is charging for not the best seats when JRAD, JGB, DSO can scratch that itch for a lot less scratch. I'm glad the music is out there and hope they continue to perform as long as they're putting quality performances but getting a tad bit too slow for me. Bobby just needs to let John, Oteil and Jeff run with it for a bit. BTW - who is Grateful Dean (Dean Stiller) - I think he is hillarious for his YouTube reviews and seems pretty spot on.

Bobby's Greatest Hits....

https://youtu.be/j0VM5DkErMs....as per Grateful Dean.

Psst..

You didn't hear it from me.. but I hear Steve Parish had Bobby's lovechild and has been raising it in secrecy all these years. It shouldn't surprise any of us that after 50 years there are squabbles. If any of you come from bigger families.. I bet there are a few skeletons in your closet too, and I bet we would be horrified if someone researched and wrote a tell-all book. The truth, we weren't there and no matter what was written there is a likely more to it then how it reads. I have no doubt it's based on real events but it seems to focus on the negative. I sincerely believe deep down inside these guys still love each other and are proud of the body of work they left behind just like I love my brothers and sisters, but I won't be moving back in with them anytime soon. I'm also sure there's a little bad blood.. I threw a screwdriver, a pair of scissors and a can of Spegetti-O's at my brother one day (although honestly.. he deserved worse). I'd like to think all is forgiven.. and honestly, I think we are better off in the way they have diversified and played / interacted with different artists. As for who is the biggest poser and the cover band aspect of it all.. Really? These guys have earned the right to play GD music how ever they see fit. I recently saw Phil Lesh and Friends backed up by the Preservation Hall Jazz Band and it was hardly a cover band. Fresh interpretations that strayed pretty far from the original arrangements. It was fresh, powerful and downright wonderful. I'd see that lineup again in a New York Minute. Let the music play.. it speaks for itself. Step to the side of the small talk and gossip. Just my opinion.. As always, I reserve the right to be tragically and horrifically wrong.

FTW: to set the record straight

Most of the book focuses on the business dealings; what comes across as negative gossip is tied to these events. The exception being the "encounter" between Billy and Jill's twins :-) but really, it was only a quick one sentence mention.The detailed descriptions of how the post-Jerry bands evolved, how Terrapin Xroads and Bob's TRI studio came into existence, of the organizing of the FTW shows, and more are indeed quite interesting.

They love each other ("core 4")

JimInMD writes: "I sincerely believe deep down inside these guys still love each other and are proud of the body of work they left behind..." Old story I think, I first heard a statement similar to that was about in early 1996 just after they retired the name Grateful Dead and still deeply mourning the death their dear brother, Jerome John Garcia.

Re: Cousins

Does that mean I am not forgiven for throwing a can of Spagetti-O's at my brother? :D

Nigeria came so close...

I really wanted them to win. Hope the French crush Messi and his buddies next Saturday!

Spagetti-Os Incident

It all depends if the can was opened or closed.

Variety

I think it’s Grate that 76 doesn’t sound like 74, 75, 77, or 78.It would be pretty boring if every year sounded the same.

Spagetti-O's Incident

It was closed.. left quite the hematoma as I recall. It's one of the few brawls that I clearly won (he's older).. so I am a bit proud of it. If I had given it more thought, I would have opened it first for good measure.

Brawls

Funny, my last brawl(I was 17) started after I dumped a rice plate over this guy's head durimg lunch...rivalry over a girl, no less.

Jimmy's Can Toss & FTW Summary

As always, so eloquently said and very fair. All excellent points. Speghetti-Oh's story made me chuckle out loud, I have two brothers myself and fully understand said 'brotherly love'. Be well my friend. Sixtus P.S. icecremconekid - your point is also spot on. Life is all about variety, change, adaptation, and love. All Good Things.

Spaghetti-O's....

....yuck. No nutritional value whatsover. Would make a good blunt weapon i suppose.

Book

I haven't read it yet but I'm sure I eventually will (seems like the perfect book to buy in the airport before a long flight). From what I've read and heard though, all of this seems pretty tame compared to other bands "tell all" books. You mean to tell me a band that's been together since 1965 has had their ups and downs? Has had to deal with power struggles or strong personalities? I'm shocked. Also, there isn't a band in the history of bands who didn't have an incident where someone made a pass (or worse) at another guy's wife or girlfriend. Meanwhile the shows (d&c or Phil) continue to be a great time and the music coming out of the vault is as exciting as ever.

Spirit of 76

I really enjoy 1976 Dead. In fact I always go back to Dave’s volume 18. Those 4 discs are phenomenal.

UH OH

SpaghettiOs! Sorry.

Today in Grateful Dead history....

....a show from this box!

fuck yeah! spaghetti-O's w/

fuck yeah! spaghetti-O's w/ meatballs! hated the hot dog one. I miss chef Boyardee pac man pasta was a big hit with kids like me who was way into Atari. spaghetti o's, cherry kool aid and Atari. 'MERICA! FUCK YEAH! lol

@frosted Box Material

I'm hoping for some kind of wood... my cynical soul is saying plastic... Damn... I hope it's not plastic. There's too much of it in the oceans already; it would be kind of depressingly ironic if this one were made of plastic, given the artistry it bares.

Box Material

They are typically heavily processed wood (some sort of glued fibers or essentially a form of cardboard). I hope I'm wrong but doing something like this out of wood just isn't that common and production can be problematic. I am thinking something along the lines of 30 Trips. Plus.. it's painted, so they cover it up anyway. Just being realistic.. I have a ton of box sets, not just GD and the only one I have that is made out of wood is the Warlocks cigar box, and even that is pretty cheesy. ...but if it's wood, I vote for Cherry. Love Cherry, or perhaps zebra striped maple to look like Mayer's new guitar. That would be something.

House to Myself

This week and next.. what a wonderful thing. Plus, it's still raining here almost every day and the creeks are full.. but back to the music. I am a closet streamer.. when I am interested in something I purchase from Nugs and sometimes just don't have time to watch and listen, but they seem to stick around for a while. Last week I noticed for the first time that one of my unwatched streams was about to expire (from five years ago). Blasphemy I say. So I watched it and by the end of the night I was in no shape to start work by 8 am the next day. So I worked a half day and life was good. Tonight, in honor of my favorite GD cover band I am watching for the first time a Phil N Friends show from 2014 at the Brooklyn Bowl, Vegas (..not slated to expire). JK and Jackie Greene on Guitars.. some simply killer slide guitar on GDTRFB from Senor Greene Joe Russo on drums. Seems ok to me.. Hipsters, tripsters real good chicks sir.. everybody's Doing That Rag. It's too bad this technology wasn't around say.. 55 years ago. Oh.. and the tempo is fast, and it is loud enough to shake the plaster off the ceiling. Fortunately, the river is raging outside so ambient noise gets lost in the shuffle. I bet my neighbors can't even hear it. Life is good. Might sleep in a bit mañana (don't tell my boss).
