    "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.

    '80's Dead
    I dig '80' Dead, it's just another chapter in the book. Things can change with age and still be good. For example, I find that the ageing of Jerry's voice makes some of the later era versions of Black Peter just that much more poignant, and some of the '80-'90's drums-space sequences were awesome vehicles for some improvisational jamming and wicked transitions from space into whatever came next. And yes, relatively speaking, the Dead were the best game in town in the '80's, a decade in which there seemed little to excite me musically. As far as the parking lot scene, I dug that too - who doesn't like a big, mellow, party before a show? There did seem to be a little more of a frenzy about the scene later, but I attribute that to the increasing difficulty in getting tickets due to the increase in demand, and perhaps a lack of discretion amongst some of the eager partier's in the parking lot. Really the only show that I left disappointed was a '94 show at the Meadowlands in NJ, that one I left bummed. On another note, deadnet can't seem to decide if I'm a robot or not - took me like 3 tries to get that captcha to work.

    It's a matter of taste
    To me the Dead were all about the free form, experimental, jam music.At one time Garcia was the greatest improvisational guitarist. He just couldn't keep that up as the years went by and he got caught up in hard drugs, due to keeping the Dead going. Some people like the "songs". They are okay as filler to me, but it's his jams that I wanted to hear. Even the jams later on became kind of rote. I'm all into things like disk 2 of Dick's Pick's #8, to give you the best example. That is the greatest Dead ever, and they never lived up to that again. As I've said before, I wished they had quit after 1977 and Jerry could do solo stuff and maybe lived longer. He died trying to keep the Dead machine alive because he was employing too many friends and didn't want to quit on them. Anyway, I'll stop. To each their own.

    I listen too.
    First of all, I completely respect your opinion. At the shows, I also listened intently to all the players, how they interacted, and especially Jerry's solo's and his singing. I surrounded myself on the floor with 20 friends who were all silently listening and enjoying song after song. The band continually changed, adding new songs, changing older ones, reworking their sound, and the 80's versions of the band were different than the 70's and 60's, and clearly not your cup of tea. I respect that. Perhaps they were still musically interesting to the careful listener, like myself, even in the 80's and 90's. I appreciated all the versions, and listened to each one.

    Mediocre in the '80's, yes
    A rare person will agree with me, so let's just say to each their own."bopping, dancing, swirling"...so what? It's easy to dance to any music with a beat. I listen INTENTLY to every note of the music - Jerry's guitar and how the band interacts musically. Not just the "funnestness" of it! LOL! Is that a word? Compared to their earlier music, they were truly mediocre in the later years. I compare them to their own best music, not to what else is out there at the time. It would not be hard to beat what was happening musically in those later years, but they could not compare to what they themselves did earlier. And by the way, MTV destroyed music. When they came onto to scene, music became showmanship and true music was lost. "I will admit Jerry was AWOL a little in the latter 90's" Yeah, he was dead.

    Mediocre???
    I saw the dead regularly in the 70's 80's and 90's right to the end in '95, and they were rarely mediocre. I will admit Jerry was AWOL a little in the latter 90's. But musically show after show, run after run, they were guaranteed to be the funnest, best shows in town, over and over again. All those shows I attended people everywhere around me were bopping, dancing, swirling around if there was room. Clearly people enjoying the music. They grew and grew in popularity due to their allowing tape recording of their shows, massive tape trading, and a reputation for great shows. Then along came MTV's "Day of the Dead", and "In The Dark" with their radio hit "Touch of Grey", and that bumped their attendance up a lot. Some would say too much, as they began losing some of their coolest venues. That is the true downside of their growing popularity, the parking lot scene got way out of hand, and even when the show was happening inside, there was a huge group of folks outside who just came for the parking lot party. Mediocre? Hardly.

    MDJim is right
    compared to any other live shows in the 80s there were few bands worth seeing more than once a tour as most popular bands played the same exact show every night for the whole tour. now most of the SBD recordings of that time are flawed and because of the nature of the mix the flaws become accentuated, but a good AUD allows you to hear what the people in the concert heard and it is not as bad as the SBD tapes make it seem.

    Almost through...and a funny story
    I'm almost through the first complete chronological listen. I'm up to the massive Seattle 74 Playin', scheduled for tonight's listen. Wonderful sound overall. On first listen the 73 Vancouver has a better mix than the other two 73's. The 74's sound better than the 73's. I chalk that up to their perfecting the Wall configuration(s) in 73. True also the first sets have many repeated songs, but they are played so well! Every show has really strong jazzy jams that were the hallmark of 73-74. Most of the shows have a strong Bobby presence, which I really love. I love to hear the awesome wierd imaginative chords he plays. However, I'm listening to Seattle 74, and he seems lost in the mix, kinda there, but not prominent. Funny thing happened on the way home with my box. My box was delivered to work. I was on the train coming home with the box on my lap, and a guy sitting across from me was eyeing the box and said: "Pardon me, is that a box of smoked salmon?"

    You are probably right about most of your post.But one issue I'll never change my opinion about: the Dead were mediocre in the '80's and into the '90's (a great show was rare) and that is when their popularity soared.

    Re: MORE popular as their music became worse
    Not so sure about that.. I saw a ton of live music during this period.. not just the GD. Seeing a better live act in the 80's than the boys was an elusive task, comparatively they still delivered night after night. If I accept the premise that they had declined (I'd prefer to sidestep that controversy altogether).. Bands that performed better in this era were few and far between. Might I say.. they were still kick ass and if care and attention went into recording shows, I bet opinions would shift too. Their numbers grew gradually, over the years. The term 'on the bus' is exactly correct.. As for the parking lot/zoo scene, I think that's a separate issue than the music.. but I still believe the whole scene was 90%+ about the music. I wouldn't bang on fourwinds for what is clearly word choice and semantics. I think there's a quote from Jerry in Long Strange Trip where he admits he used to sabotage their success. I see this issue as one where there is truth on both sides and reality meets somewhere in the middle. Jerry was a serious musician, Mountain Girl is quick to point out how much he practices and what a professional musician he was, especially in the early years.. up very early every day practicing scales and working out problems. Anyway.. If I had the crystal ball of truth, I bet you two aren't as far apart as it appears and from afar, you both have points..

    He was a VERY serious musician and the quality of his music mattered a GREAT DEAL to him.He was super bummed when they played bad. Maybe your attitude explains something I never totally understood: why the Dead became MORE popular as their music became worse and worse. The masses don't have the ear to hear what's good or bad. They just liked the "scene" and the music was unimportant.

I'm never even close on these guesses. Going with a year that isn't on usual rotation for Dave, but it is a big show. I use to think they would save this for a box release, but who knows...... just thinking that the boxes that made us go crazy trying to order, Europe 72 and the Get Shown the light sold out insanely fast, what else is left that would have same effect, (June 9, 10 1973) is one i think... I thought the Northwest would be gone so fast, be good everyone bob t

The Vatican is the biggest criminal organization in the history of the human race.A summary, but by no means complete: Excommunicate Galileo because we all know that the sun revolves around the earth. Pay us money to get your relatives out of purgatory. Look the other way while Hitler exterminates an entire race. Look the other way while your own priests molest children.

So I wonder.. how many times was the following sequence played: Playing in the Band > Uncle John's Band > Morning Dew > Uncle John's Band > Playing in the Band Or frankly any sequence and combination of the above classic medley. Certainly DP 24 (3/23/73 Cow Palace) and DaP 5 (11/17/73 Pauley Pavilion UCLA) but I suspect more. If I get a chance, I just might research it myself. Then there's the seemingly endless variants like 10/12/84 Augusta ME, the Playing in the Band sandwiches, etc. All interesting on their own. But how many of the classic PITB>UJB>MD>UJB>PITB medleys?

So many of my favorite shows have "Sugaree" in the second slot. I wonder what that means? Probably a good bet that aliens are involved in some fashion.

Jim, other than the two you mention (you meant 3-23-74) the only other time was 11-10-73. Pretty sure those are the only times. If I missed another, please let me know, but pretty sure it was only those three times. I like Pauley best, but truth be told, they all fail a bit in the end for me, as I find each Morning Dew is sacrificed at the end to roll back into UJB.

This guy's favorite song is Sugaree. You can tell it's his favorite song by the rhythm in his stride and the way he dances. You might recognize him in some of the homemade recordings and crowd footage from Watkins Glen or perhaps his veggie burrito booth in shakedown. I don't think he's an alien at all.. just some residual French or perhaps a Brazilian accent. Rio, yes.. 3/23/74. Thanks for the quick reply.. I didn't think there were too many. And I agree with your Morning Dew not fully developed or forced transition issue. Still, the sequence is very cool. Imagine how it might have developed if they did it four or five times instead of just three.

No personal attacks just a little weight on the other side of the seesaw. Catholic Church very active in the american civil rights movement. The Catholic church very heavily involved in the antiwar movement of the 1960's & 70's. Your point about turning the other way during WW2 has been proven false by academics but is a good example Goelbbels "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating, it, people will eventually come to believe it.In addition as Hitler asked how many divisions does the Pope have. Add to those 2 points like most bigots you leave out inconvenient facts like the number of priests and higher who at great danger to themselves stood up to and actively fought fascism. Karol Jozef Wojtyla better known as Pope John Paul II. In his case the world got a twofer he also also stood up what is arguably an even more destructive (in terms of lives destroyed and length of time in power) totalitarian sysem.Do you hate the French, they had far more arms and military. They not only surrendered but the Vichy Republic actively participated in the final solution. A couple of your points are 500 years old and irrelevant today. Now for the part that your post had none of namely acknowledging there is more than one side. The Catholic church is guilty of toadying up to very bad governments IN THE PAST. Some good examples would be Spain and Mexico. That was bad and is acknowledged by all including the church but since WW2 it has been very active in fighting the authoritarian governments especially in Latin America Nicaragua and El Salvador being 2 Bishop Romero was killed by Somsatistas giving mass and in El Salvador 4 nuns were brutally raped and killed by Roberto D'Aubuisson's right wing death squads. The hierarchy's behavior with the pederasty scandal is inexcusable and they have been rightly called to task for it. As always, and I never cease to be amazed at this with people and organizations with power is the cover up. If when the the 1st murmurs started making the rounds in the 70's or better yet when the higher ups heard the whispers in the hallways of power much earlier had dealt quickly and unflinchingly they would be able to fend off the anti-catholic bigots.And they still exist especially in certain parts of the country and of course the world. Don't believe it read up on what's happening in countries of north africa and through the levant In summary the modern Catholic Church (not really interested in 500 years ago) has been an overwhelming force for good with the glaring exception of the coverup of pederasts Finally while I was brought up Catholic My own beliefs for me personally is not to belong to any hierarchical group humans being humans there simply is too much temptation

According to The SetList Program these three tunes were played in the same show 30 times including the 3 sandwiches. 2/23/71 the first, 3/27/94 the last. I was lucky enough to see 12/27/89 with C. Clemons.

Sugaree is the classic Jerry song. I associate this one closely with JGBand since my first two Jerry Bootlegs were 2/28/80 Keene College (eventually released in the Pure Jerry series) and 7/24/80 at the Bushnell in Hartford. Both these shows are great and both opened with wonderful Sugarees. Laid back campfire vibe, great soloing, and Jerry just always feels at home in this one. When played with the Dead, I always enjoyed it. "Just don't tell 'em you knoooooow me...."

Either you didn't read my post or you need to go back to school. What the hell do you think pederasty means,which I spent a good portion of my post taking the church to task on for the actions and even more importantly the systemwide coverup. But that seems to be the problem today. Doesn't matter left or right people aren't interested in paying attention to any view but their own and their echo chamber. For your edification since you're to lazy to improve your vocabulary pederast man sexal arousal over a boy. Pedophile an adult getting aroused by a child of opposite sex. The former is the overwhelming amount of crimes that were committed and covered up by the church. What you seem to be incapable of is recognizing and acknowledging all the other points in my post that take on your anti Catholic bigotry. Let me know when you finish 6th grade. And in response to your silly remark about Da27 as if I was the one who started this thread. I was simply responding to your hatred spewed. You even specifically asked for responses albeit you expected vitriolic attacks which any one who cares to read my 1st post on your attact had none.

Icecrmcnkd is a bigot. Never would have thought. But tell me Icecrmcnkd. How many Rabbis or Mullahs are guilty of the same crimes against children? There has to be a number right? Cant be zero, there are too many for that to be statistically possible. What about other professions? So go ahead and make a fair evaluation, since child welfare is such a grave humanitarian concern for you. What's that, you don't know because you only approach the subject when you're in full out bigot mode. You're no longer welcome on this message board. Goodbye.

The studio version is okay-but for years, the only version I knew was the one on "Steal Your Face", and as such, I wasn't overly impressed. In fact I wasn't overly impressed with any of the pre-retirement versions I subsequently heard, either. I thought they were okay-but just okay. But after they came back-especially during 1977, it really seemed to grow wings and fly. Curious how some songs were transformed into epics, while others were left simply as songs.

I think one of my favorite versions is the one on To Terrapin 5/28/77. That show just seems to flow nice every time I listen. My Theory on the Diffusion of Fools and Knaves: every group, whether political, religious, racial, cultural, profession, etc. has it's share of fools and knaves as they are spread throughout humanity in a fairly even distribution, much like a drop of dye spreads through a glass of clear water. Better to judge people as an individual rather than based on what group you perceive them to be a part of, but that's just my view.

That Sugaree from 5/28/77 is spinning now and it is one of my favorites. 19 minutes of sweet, Sugaree goodness.

You mean ones that contain facts as opposed to ad hominem attacks. And you still act as though the only point you made, and I responded to was the admittedly heinous acts and coverups with children. How about the churchs work with the war, civil rights, El Salvador Guatemala. The rebuttal to your blood libel on WW2. I may run on you lie and twist what others say. Once again contact me when you get out of 6th grade

...a friend of my mothers read my post from a week ago or so and gifted me a boxset for my birthday for August 3rd! I’m so grateful and full of emotional humbleness for her love... I made my mother pinch me to make sure I wasn’t dreaming lol some where over the rainbow ;)

Strange, I was listening to March 22, 1972 Academy of Music - New York, NY with a 2nd set Sugaree.I am still holding out for 1979 Dave's Pick.

catholic church is still better than the Children of God cult. their leader was a pedophile, and it was pretty accepted to make advances towards minors. p.s. Hitler pretty much told those churches to be run a certain way or he would have them killed, well maybe not killed but they were forced to be run the way Hitler wanted them to be ran.
