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.

Bobby slide

We play this game every fourth of July When I visit my uncle and cousin a d family. They're actually more like dead fans and not so much hardcore deadhead Message Board enthusiasts. So the game is this: my cousin has serious radio so we put on The Grateful Dead station. And it's my job to guess the performance date slash album. I heard Friend of the Devil over the 4th of July weekend and because it was they full Electric version, I was able to narrow it down to that week in September when they were playing it almost every show, Dick's Picks 11 Dick's Picks 23, Waterford Connecticut 30 trips Dick's Picks 36. There was also the recent Berkeley show, but the fake base gives that one away and it definitely wasn't it. What this version did feature was, Bobby high in the mix, and Jerry a little bit lower than usual. This is characteristic of the 30 trips 1972 show, and so I got it. I also got I need a miracle, from winterland New Year's Eve closing. They have no idea how easy that one was for me, but I know that version like the back of my hand. And then there was Bobby's slide. There was a good Scarlet fire going, actually much better than I remembered as it turned out so this one was a challenge for me. Bobby's slide guitar definitely put it in the range of April to November 1978. Now keep in mind in my experience serious usually plays released material. I discovered this wasn't always the case when they played Tempe Arizona from the november of 73, but for the most part I was expecting official releases. I don't have Sirius so it's always an adventure. I definitely heard Bobby slide so it was definitely 78. There was no let it burn let it burn let it burn, so I knew it wasn't Dave's Picks Volume 7 from normal Illinois. I considered Dave picks 12, but Keith piano was not nearly loud enough for it to be that one. I considered road trip 78 from Egypt with love, but I recall that one being a little bit rougher of a recording then what I was hearing. So I had it narrowed down to one of the two versions on the 1978 box set. The question was St Paul or Red Rocks, which I told them. As I mentioned earlier I found this version to be much better than I remembered either version on the July 78 set, and and I have heard the Red Rocks version a lot more than St Paul. I figured if one of those two versions was going to ring in as better than I remembered it it would have to be the one I hadn't listened to quite as much, so I went with St Paul and nailed it. These people acted impressed, but I think they believe I'm an idiot savant like the rain man.

It's a Good Life

Tonight's story on The Twilight Zone is somewhat unique and calls for a different kind of introduction. This, as you may recognize, is a map of the United States, and there's a little town there called Peaksville. On a given morning not too long ago, the rest of the world disappeared and Peaksville was left all alone. Its inhabitants were never sure whether the world was destroyed and only Peaksville left untouched or whether the village had somehow been taken away. They were, on the other hand, sure of one thing: the cause. A monster had arrived in the village. Just by using his mind, he took away the automobiles, the electricity, the machines—because they displeased him—and he moved an entire community back into the dark ages—just by using his mind. Now I'd like to introduce you to some of the people in Peaksville, Ohio. This is Mr. Fremont. It's in his farmhouse that the monster resides. This is Mrs. Fremont. And this is Aunt Amy, who probably had more control over the monster in the beginning than almost anyone. But one day she forgot. She began to sing aloud. Now, the monster doesn't like singing, so his mind snapped at her, turned her into the smiling, vacant thing you're looking at now. She sings no more. And you'll note that the people in Peaksville, Ohio have to smile. They have to think happy thoughts and say happy things because, once displeased, the monster can wish them into a cornfield or change them into a grotesque, walking horror. This particular monster can read minds, you see. He knows every thought, he can feel every emotion. Oh yes, I did forget something, didn't I? I forgot to introduce you to the monster. This is the monster. His name is Anthony Fremont. He's six years old, with a cute little-boy face and blue, guileless eyes. But when those eyes look at you, you'd better start thinking happy thoughts, because the mind behind them is absolutely in charge. This is the Twilight Zone.

Re: Ghastly

Well, that word choice made me laugh. I did do a deep dive a couple weeks ago into the July 78 Box and enjoyed it very much. I had forgotten about the collective histrionics and howling. I have also somehow managed to block out the Bobby slide quips and howls as a result of years of therapy. This might mark the very first time in my life I celebrated an anniversary early let alone one-time. Don't we have an announcement coming up? Shake it.. shake it Sugaree....

Fanny Pack?

What's in John Boy's fanny pack? Inquiring heads gotta know. Billy's stash?!

Fanny packs....

....don't get me started.

PFox

I really hope it's a super cool box because if not that's 70 bucks per Ship Of Fools.

Slipknot!....

....I tried tying my fanny pack with one of those. It worked. I had one that was homemade with small ropes instead of the clip. Found it on a Shakedown at Shoreline. Fuckin lost it a few years later. So it goes....

mhammond12

i guess my post wasn't all that clear. the reasons i gave were what pushed it over the top for me. i plan to listen to the entire box set. i'm sure it will be worth multiple plays. ----

(No subject)

speculation

I'm looking at the photos of the box and thinking it's big enough to house proper digipacks (like the old Rhino reissues of the studio albums), which I hope is the case rather than flimsy cardboard sleeves or worse. Surely the book won't take up that much room. Somehow never heard Seattle '74 but could a 47 minute PITB possibly be as good as it sounds? Needless to say I am getting excited about this. September seems a long way off! Hey Dave - how about an 'unboxing' video??

07 03 70

70 bucks per Ship of Fools

worth every cent if they're good ones :-) It was the song in my head when I walked out of AT&T

If I had the World

I may have said this before, but I see this as more of a JGB song, not Dead. The Dead don't do sappy, over-literal "I love you sooo much" songs (OK Looks Like Rain... but that's Bobby). Jerry Garcia Band DID do sappy love songs. But there's no real jam in it so it didn't make the JGBand cut either....

Under played songs

I always liked "If I Had The World" well enough-and still do. Maybe it would pall a bit if they had played it as often as Sugar Magnolia, but as it stands-good. This made me think of other songs the band made good studio recordings of, and then never played much live. Ripple, Unbroken Chain and Crazy Fingers are all great in their studio incarnations-but none of them - to me-really translated all that well to live performance. Crazy Fingers was good on 13th August 1975-but it obviously didn't survive long. I'm not even going to mention the 1990s versions.. Another great studio recording, was "New Speedway Boogie". I wonder why that one never became established as a jamming vehicle like "Truckin'" did? "Box of Rain ", too-an incredible song.

new speedway

probably too dark a song for a long running jam vehicle? being the horrific story of Altamont free concert gone bad... The Dead left without playing a note after Marty Balin was knocked unconscious, they were scheduled to play second to last, just before Mick and the boys. Four people died that day amidst chaos, one murdered right in front of The Stones on stage. See Gimme Shelter but be ready for some ugly stuff.

Under-played songs?

How about never-played/yet-to-be-played songs such as "France"? Could Dead & Co. play thissteel-drum-meets-Lowell-George-meets-Bobby-and-Donna as a one-off by bringing Donna to the Dead & Co. stage?

as 10/31/84 begins to finally

as 10/31/84 begins to finally circulate, I ask people out there please check your tapes for uncirculated '95 boards. I myself and others would like to start filling holes in our '95 collection.

Under-played songs - France

To me, France sounds a Pablo Cruise song. As far as under-played songs, I'll take Rosemary any day.

Donna

Love Donna to pieces, but I don't think her voice is what it used to be. I heard her play with D&C in Boston 2 years ago (and sit in with Ratdog about 9 years ago in New Haven) and while she did OK, she sure didn't sound as god as she used to - I think she doesn't have the range she used to have, which is common among women. Mad respect though. Funny thing is at the concession stand at Fenway, on the field where you could still see the band, I overheard a guy telling his gf/wife it was Mountain Girl. Me: "Actually that's Donna". Girl: "See? I TOLD you!". Guy: "No, IT IS Mountain Girl"... long pause as he glares at me that I had just contradicted him in front of his partner. Guy behind me: "Dude it's Donna Jean Godchaux, she used to be in the Dead in the 70's - who did you say you thought it was???" Guy: "Nevermind", still glaring at me.

Crazy Fingers not good in 90s?

https://youtu.be/qzu4sLEGfTk Also, the Spring '90 ones are all fantastic.

as a post brent fan i'll say

as a post brent fan i'll say crazy fingers was definitely good in the '90's. vinces work on it was a highlight.

(No subject)

1990's Crazy Fingers

While a different tempo than Blues For Allah, I think Crazy Fingers worked pretty well for the band. A good 90's Bruce/Vinnie version can be found on Dick's #17! I'm also fond of the 6/20/92 RFK version.....and, I just love that damn show! :)

73-74

Moving through GD eras, Keith's grand piano really fits the rock-n-roll and Americana songs, but his electric keyboard during certain songs of 73-74 along with Jerry's wah-wah is a sure fire ticket to outer space. Sounds like a Fender Rhodes?? This is the juice for me! Just wandered through Winterland 1973 - great stuff! Also, IMHO, 73-74 is Bobby at his peak. Not that he lost any chops, but in 73-74 he really stands out in the mix and surely is one of the best all-time rhythm guitarists. The Dead have been and continue to be such a positive force in my life - and it is needed now - Will be teeing up some DaP 26 Albuquerque for the ride home - and a shout out to Phil as a great backing vocalist in his time, those early harmonies were sweet. Thanks Dave, Jeffrey and all the Rhino crew for keeping this going!

Love Crazy Fingers

And the modern ones had some grate jams. The transition into Playing from 9-25-91 is spectacular (and real).

Very excited for this amazing release

...always loved the bands playing during the 73-74’ era. I really got excited when I heard about the official announcement from the band and company. You can really get lost in amazement @ ah, from each band members performance as a whole... I’m sad to say I had to sell my copy due to an alarming rate of doctor bills. Just returned home from the hospital after a long 33 day recovery and be allowed to return home to my family, friends and my fellow deadhead relationships :). I gonna try my hardest to buy another boxset for myself before they all sell out, wish me luck, Im gratefully in need of some prayers...Peace be with you all my brothers and sisters and have yourself a grand 4th of July celebration ! Smile smile smile :)

Thin / Donna

HahaI totally picture it

Red Rocks 7/8/78 (DSO 40th anniversary imminent)

The promotion said Donna will be there. Thank fucking god there's no "Playing" in that set. Jesus Christ, to this day I roll the volume back while she shrieks horridly during those two refrains. All over E72, like swatting away a fly "TURN IT FUCKING DOWNNNNN..." But, I love her. Our hippie priestess. C'mon, Donna Jean meant the dorks had a girl - a Girl! - onstage. She looked nice, at least, Bob, Billy, and so on and so-forth felt so. She was alright. She sang on Elvis records, for Chrissakes. And on Jerry's solo lp's, where she could "hear herself," she was spot-on, a session princess. I am going to be there representing in full Jedi force Sunday, you asses, that's right, parading all across Red Rocks. I may just well be bearing one of my Dead & Co. T-shirts, to spite Phil, and Gyll, after digesting the Joel Selvin book. To hell with it. Pools, waterparks, booze, tits, family, my guitars, yadda... A long fourth-of-July weekend here. As God is living, herself, through every keystroke and breath and shit we all are taking, well, her, let's take Cheers! and make love manifest in all that we are and do. Each and every time, \jm/ LedDed

4/12/78

Jerry's guitar solo during "Bertha" makes my ear-sockets melt...

Thin being glared at

Yes, funny-you get guys like that in England, too. I have always enjoyed a chat/discussion-and in the past have thought I was being helpful challenging something someone has said-or I have just enjoyed the possibility of opening up a potentially interesting debate. I guess some people take a discussion as an opportunity to assert their superiority-and if someone challenges what they have said they feel personally attacked.

Crazy Fingers-New Speedway Boogie

Good to hear people have enjoyed 1990s versions of Crazy Fingers-its a great song, and as such maybe any airing should be welcome. With New Speedway Boogie, I was forgetting the lyrics when I said that I thought it would have made a good jamming song. "Gimme Shelter" is a horrifying film-and if the song was firmly attached to that event, I can well understand why it wasn't played too often. But musically, the chord sequence, and the rhythm suggest that it was made for jamming.

Freedom, that's what I want

just out today, the current administration had help from the Russians in winning the 2016 election, concludes the Senate. How do you feel now? This administration has and will continue to erode all and any past accomplishments in the name of progress and freedom to suit it's own greedy maladjusted agenda. If you believe in Freedom, if you believe in Justice, better wake up and vote in November. The times they are a-changing and it looks like we are going back to the 50's. Affirmative action to be stopped in colleges, tariffs against our allies, gestapo type tactics against any and all immigrants, tax cuts for the rich that will never expire, supreme court being loaded with conservatives that will make all of this craziness the law of the land. WAKE UP and remember what our ancestors fought and died for, Freedom from want, Freedom from fear, the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, freedom from a government that did not listen to it's own citizens. They fed us the line that democracy was and is the best thing going and we fought and died for it, and now, it is being slowly and deliberately destroyed by greedy, crazy aristocrats who want it all and will take us all down to get it. I love my country, I fought for my country, I was willing to die for it, and now, I don't recognize my home, the idiots are winning and we must fight with all the love that we have to stop what will become the easiest take over of a country by a foreign regime ever. Not one shot being fired, all in the name of greed. Happy 4th of July everyone, I will fly my flag today, upside down, to symbolize a nation in distress and in need of help. I only hope it's not too late. Go ahead, fly your freak flags high, it's just a mater of time before you won't be able to with out fear of retribution from your own government.

Wave that flag. Wave it wide and high. Democracy has come and gone, my oh my. I picked up a cheap used copy of the Truckin Up to Buffalo DVD recently and watched it last night. 1) Good stuff, although I think Downhill From Here is a little better overall with better video quality -- "Better" being relative since they're both old standard def feeds anyway. I notice there's at least two other video releases from that tour, 7-7 and 7-8, and that seems to be where they mine all the Meet up At the Movies also. 2) Holy hell, that was a ripping All Along the Watchtower. Maybe the best non Jimi version I can remember. Highlight of the show, IMHO. 3) During Drums, Mickey is squeezing something that looks like a giant air filter, and banging on it with something like a crowbar. What is that ?

Thank you for your fine patriotic post.And hats-off to Roguedeadguy, too U.S. Blues Grateful Dead Red and white, blue suede shoes, I'm Uncle Sam, how do you do?

Hang in there LoveMyGirl

Man, sorry to read about your long bout with the figment of a health care system we suffer under. Glad to know you're home with family & friends and on the mend. Lots of warm, positive vibes radiating to you from west Texas. Onward! Wonder if we can scrape up a box for you?. . .

Byrds?

SWEETHEART OF THE RODEO 50TH ANNIVERSARY featuring Roger McGuinn, Chris Hillman and Marty Stuart and his Fabulous Superlatives Hi everyone - very excited here. I've pasted in above the announcement from my in-box today regarding 50th anniversary of Sweetheart of the Rodeo. I love the Byrds. Seems like they should have shared some bills with the dead, but I'm not aware of any. Particularly at the end of the Byrds' career when they were an excessively hairy jam-band. Grateful Dead, Byrds, Small Faces, Traffic - these are probably the 4 classic rock bands I've listened to and enjoyed more than any others. I've never seen McGuinn live...seeing him at the Ryman is something to look forward to. Monday October 8 is the day. If anyone wants to come to Nashville for the show let me know and we'll make preparations. Happy 4th to all - hoping for quick recovery and good health for all. Rock on!

Roger McGuinn opened 6-22-91

http://www.dead.net/show/june-22-1991

Predictions for Dave’s #26 ???

Really looking forward to the announcement... maybe in a couple of weeks?I’m guessing that it’ll be primal Dead. Spring ‘69? Would love June ‘76 though... maybe fall ‘80 (Gainesville?) Maybe the first ‘79 show in the series? Can’t wait.

Oops... I meant DP 27...

Just saw on another thread that Seth Hollander was hoping for 12/12/90.Awesome show... that would be a great choice too!

Some Cheese with Your Whine?

Always fun to check these threads and see someone's hysterical political rant.

There are two sides....

....to every coin. Ain't no time to hate.

Throwing Stones

And the radical he rant and rage,Singing someone got to turn the page. And the rich man in his summer home, Singing would you like some whine and cheese with that ? Ashes Ashes all fall down.

Once again, a different subject

Jack Hardy. Anyone have a good collection of his stuff? Here's one of his cuts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbMEYfYpa7s He seems to have 2 "collected" works available. Anyone have a copy of these two? I like the guy. OH, also,,,, anyone out there have any Joe Hill, I'm not even sure if he was ever recorded. It seems his songs were covered by a large number of "union" singers.

Yay. Let's divide the Deadheads as well....
