"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.

Too Soon Probably

For another '77 Pick. But when the time comes, I would really like a Normanized 2/26/77. That Slipknot! is so good - price of admission right there. Many others as well, not least of all, Phil's exuberant conclusion to Eyes of the World. Dark Star fever here. 8/30/69 (thanks for the recommendation Vguy), 10/25/69, and Fillmore West Complete's 4th show. I think I'll revisit 11/19/72 - I rampaged home on that one last night (nothing like a long drive and a decent car sound system.

Thanks for the replacement disc. I just didn't have the time to check 30 trips, for all defects. Thanks to all the other who sent me files. I will PM, each of you. My PNW box, 9 cds are in need of replacement. I actually had to purchase a second box set. I had to have 5/5/77 cds replaced. I used to not worry about GDCDs, however since the 11/73 box set, releases seem susceptible to issues. Have spoken to marye and doc rhino.

When Dozin at the Knick came out they had to resend a complete new CD out to everyone that ordered. That was in 1996

I've been wondering about the error rate. Is it going up? How did it compare to the 1st contract or when GDP did releases. As far as it being Mexico just my opinion but if they can't make cds then you'd be reading about a lot more wheels flying off of cars. I'd like to see the error rate with a really big release. This was around 300,000 discs. What did the Beatles boxes or the new Beeb realease have in the way of problems.

PNW box and Dave's 28

Good morning to you all, well it is morning here in the Burg’. I have been slowly getting into the PNW now. I had some discs that needed replacing which took some time to accomplish. So now that I have them in my possession it is has been great. I am listening to the shows in reverse order and I am getting into the shows from 73. Honestly I don't have much new to add. I think this box is great in both design and quality of music. The shows, once they get through opening anomalies (weird mixes, volume drops, etc...) sound great. It has been a long wait for me but now I am very happy with this box. I have to say that I have reached a point where I am feeling somewhat content with the number of shows I have. Between what Dick and then Dave and Co. have given us, plus Real Gone Music and eBay I have managed to get about everything i want. I am missing Dave's 1- 5, 7, 8. There is one Dave's I need to get out of that lot and that is #5. I got it once only to have stolen from the mail...bummer. I have a few Road Trips to get which Real Gone will do the job. There is a little chance that they will release the bonus discs, but I can live without them for now... Which brings up the looming announcement of Dave's Picks 28. I am all about a show from 1979. I have been requesting that for a while like many others. Or another 76 show - i think there are some untapped gems in there. I also wouldn't mind, if the sound quality is up to the standard, a show from 80-82. However one thing that the PNW box reminds me is that consistency and quality wise the shows from 69 -77 and then 89-90, are where I feel more shows should be pulled from. Now I am not discounting everything from 67-68, 78 -88 , and 91-95 . I stand by what I said about Dave's 27 - a show from 83- in that I liked it. I just hope we get releases of good shows both playing and sound wise regardless of the year. I just think the majority of those shows come from 69-77 and 89-90 periods and if Dave's 28, ends up being another show from say 1972 for example I won't be disappointed. If it ends up being from 1984 as long as sound and playing quality are at the standard (relatively speaking), I will be happy. When it is all said and done I am not trying to stir up an era debate. As I said, I like all eras. I will continue subscribe to the Dave's Picks series. I still think that hands down it is one of the best things any band has done for their fans. Adding a yearly box makes things that much sweeter.

Yeah Stoltzie

I listened to 6-22-73 last night. It’s awesome.Started my 3rd voyage through the Pacific Great Northwest last night. Awesome Box. And for DaP28? I don’t know......just make sure that quality control is actually used in the production and packaging process. Edit: OK, I’ll throw a guess/request for DaP28. 6-14-76. Although that really should be part of next year’s June ‘76 Box. Otherwise, 5-18-77 with filler the missing songs from 5-22-77. That would help fill in a gap.

Friday/Weekend

Forgot about Jeff Goldblum's humble beginnings? https://www.amazon.com/Thank-God-Its-Friday-Anniversary/dp/B079ZT1XV6 Should I disco? Or sorta disco, like with Shakedown from from DiP27. OOOhhhh, how about a slinky stranger. That does it...any recommendations? Feeling Groovy.

Dave's Pick guess number 2..... 7/19/89 Alpine Valley

4 Songs are on Downhill from Here from the end of the first set... Sugaree is second song... I think it came out in 1997... My VHS copy just sitting mocking me on the shelf!!!

DiP 16

Cheese and crackers, still going on about Catholicism? Great joke Vguy!! I haven't posted much since January 2017, but to move off that topic, I will bring up my recent revisit with Dick's Picks 16-- 11/8/69. I don't go for hyperbole very often, but this just might be the best Grateful Dead show in the band's history. There was banter on here a week or so ago about that gig, but I had loaded it onto my phone a couple of weeks prior, but hadn't gotten around to it yet. My commute is very different this summer as I am taking my soon-to-be 4 and soon-to-be 8 year old kids to daycare. My peaceful 25 minute commute is no longer my time of solitude and figured 11/8/69 was not right for the kids. Threw it in last night for my drive to/from softball and finished disc one with the kids this morning. Dark Star-Other One suite will be on the ride home-- the kids will love it! :) Going through the songlist refreshing my memory, that show is astounding. As I would go down the page, oh yeah, big Caution... oh yeah, Lovelight encore. Oy ve!! Turning the kids on in about 20 minutes! I haven't pulled the trigger on this box set yet. Looks great, but right now I just don't need more stuff. My hope for DaP 27-- goodness please, not 1976. I recently retried the Orpheum 76 release (DaP 18) after shelving it shortly after release and had to stop listening after a couple tunes. I am with Forensic Doc-- 1976 is GD on valium. I think they picked up steam in the fall (Day on the Green shows are great as is New Years), but those summer shows don't do it for me. I hope this had effectively changed the subject.

icecreamcone

because you wouldn't be talking about it in such terms on this message board. you do the real children a pretty big disservice by even pretending to be one for a second. truly disgusting human being.

LoveJerry

I never pretended to be one. And my heart goes out to those victims, as well as the ones from Penn State, Ohio State, and anywhere else.

RV3

Never heard that show. Looks pretty darn tasty. I remember the crap center 1987 show on Mickey's birthday they put Sugaree in the second slot of the second set. It was unexpected and tasty.

Surfragettes

..nice Jaguar the girl in the middle's got, too.

How 'bout something totally

cray-cray, outside-the-box, ain't gonna happen no way, no how, 6/17/72. (2nd tune is Sugaree)Diggin' Garcialive, Vol.6, 7/05/73 - could be better than Keystone ... hot, hot, hot!!!

Out on a Limb...

Ok, I will stick my neck out a bit. It might have been mentioned here recently too.. but 12/31/72. Not sure if it's a four disc'r or not. Happy trails all.. One more Friday night. Be good.. be kind, forgive and for gods sake quit bickering. Let it go, your blood pressure will thank you.

Sugaree/Jorma

Watching Dear Jerry on AXS. I think maybe Jim was there if memory serves at all anymore. Jorma did a nice Sugaree and Frampton did a nice Road Runner. Nice little weekend treat.

about my DP 27 wish list Glitch??? My apologies

Adios

It was fun for a minute. But now there's a stank to the air and it's getting hard to breathe. You all keep at it though. Me? I'm going where the wind don't blow so strange...

B.S. Again...

...Buffalo Springfield Again that is. Just about a perfect album.

Alien (1979) - IMDb

bolo24 "Why izzit? 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."

DaveRock

I have an older hippy friend that saw both 69 and 70 Atlanta pop festivals. He also saw the free July 7th show with Grateful Dead. One last one that relates us together is this beauty. https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=q%2fb7v78V&id=477… Hampton Grease Band. Anyone else ever see Col. Bruce?

Alien....

....did come out in 1979. Aliens, however, came out in 1986. That 6.22.86 show i fell in love with last week definitely has the chops.

Col Bruce

Gary,I did get to see ARU 8-7-15. My only time. Special guest sit-ins were Jimmy Herring’s son (don’t know his name), Kofi Burbridge, and someone else whose name I don’t know. It was a good time and I would have gone again.

7-19-89 has a Sugaree in the second slot

Don’t recall if it has a Close Encounters in Space, but it’s only two days after the one on the 17th.

1976

Actually, 8/2/76 is high on my wishlist for a Dave's Picks release.

Hunter S Thompson...

....Im sure some people call him a truly disgusting human being too. Lol. Dude was nuts. I'm ok with that. https://youtu.be/Royuwz0fI6o

well I just got into town about 18 hours ago

from Las Vegas hot flashy titillating (giddy). apparently, covering your booty is optional now. and putting as much of demtitteez on display as possible is a competition. Red Rock Canyon! Valley of Fire State Park! desert surrounding Lake Mead! Hoover Dam Fremont Street Mob Museum and on the 457th day, God created air conditioning. hooray!

Polly Tix and Relly Giohn as fodder for posting

ew. except for my previous comment, of course.

gotta read F&LiLV this summer

onward

Valley Of Fire....

....go early stoltzfus. Definitely worth it. Mob Museum? Check. Fremont Street? Ask boblopes about that. I think he remembers....if you like pinball, check out the Pinball Hall Of Fame on Tropicana. http://www.pinballmuseum.org/

Don't miss out on the hotel pools....

....the scenery can't be beat. And buffets. Some are outstanding, some not so much. Do some research. If you're gonna gamble. Some great craps odds if you know where to look.

HST, etc.

Hunter S. Thompson was an American treasure, like Hemingway. Yes they were rough around the edges and extremely politically incorrect. As if that's a problem. I just finished the Joel Selvin book. I believe I was the first to speak of it here. I wasn't in any great hurry to rush through it and it was boring. I've devoured most of the rock biographies out there and this one had precious little dirt. Selvin took the high road. He did seemingly have an axe to grind against the Leshes, but whatever. After what Phil has been through, I try to overlook some of the micromanaging. The best part of the book would be the play-by-play of Fare Thee Well. Having attended the shows, I more or less agreed. My axe to grind is Trey. He brought too little too late, energy, phrasing, pacing - all of it. The lead guitar chair was offered to him and he was mostly a shrinking violet. I've seen him wail like a man possessed with Phish - only a few times, they're not one of my bands but I had to experience it to form an educated opinion. I think he was just a little intimidated, under-rehearsed and not wanting to step on toes. Who would want to receive the obligatory tongue-lashing from Jill Lesh? No one, it would seem. Which will lead to my brief John Mayer sell. This guy doesn't have any issues with going out and playing Jerry Garcia in the band. He sings and plays and wails his ass off every night, uninhibited, confident, inspired. John Mayer has righted his career and cemented his legacy as no longer a goofball joke pop star, but a real musician, generous, talented, and keeping this ship afloat. Can't wait for the Boulder end-of-tour shows. Oh, and Water World was a blast. \m/

Right On Led/Ded!

Great post, agree with 98% HST; was one of the greatest American writers of the late 20th century! (IMHO that’s being extremely conservative) Can’t believe I lived so close and never got to meet him....bummer.

Vegas Vacation

Am I missing something here? Stoltzfus, why is Vguy not personal showing you with the finer, local points of interest etc? Or is it already too late....... ; )“We were somewhere near Barstow.......”

27

I predict a Monday or Tuesday AM announcement.

from LV, not to LV

I would have looked up the good Mr. VGuy, but it was a core nuclear family thing (celebrating twins' 21st birthdays). Valley of Fire and Red Rock Canyon are magnificent, people. if and when you go to LV again, drive your car or rent one, and go to these two places, and then drive through the Nevada desert. c'est magnifique. Did you know it gets hot in LV? 106 degrees, it was. seeing the GD on 6/25/94 was 116 degrees. the show sucked donkeys. the next night was one of the top three of 94, but I had to return to Seattle, and didn't attend. (aww...)

106 in the shade

But it was a dry heat, right?Twins, that must of been fun when they were BOTH getting all hormonal in their teens!

Vega$

Spearmint Rhino. The steakhouse in the Fremont casino. The free nudie-cards the freaks hand out on the strip. Collect enough, make a deck. Winning $1,000 on a Wheel-Of-Fortune slot at the Excalibur, and another $500 at the Golden Nugget. The wave pool at Mandalay Bay, and the sand in your toes. Driving through Hoover Dam re-construction, coked out of our very minds and holding an ounce; having the elderly cop on duty at the checkpoint shine his flashlight in our faces and saying, "have a GREAT time, gentlemen!" as I got the hell out of there knowing an angel was on my shoulder. This was like 4am in a rented white Malibu from Denver. Rick said as long as we had a white car (and were driving across Utah, a virtual rolling felony), they'd never nab us. He was right. Taking the chopper ride at night bombing down over the strip and knowing I never wanted to be in a helicopter ever since Stevie Ray and Bill Graham crashed and burned, but doing it anyway. Getting dumped off from a limo at the Bellagio on New Year's Eve, and going in with my boy Bruce dressed up like Hunter S. Thompson, white Chuck Taylors, hawaiian shirt, cigarette holder. All that shit. Flask in hand, hash smoke bellowing out like Cheech and Chong. Go Raiders. \m/

Vega$....

....I remember that show! Going to YouTube it now. 21 year old twins? In Vegas? You've got your work cut out for you my friend. The sun rises at noon. Been there. Too many times to count. VegasBorn. https://youtu.be/dij4b7UdwIE 106 degrees? It's 96 in the shade. Better than shoveling snow for hours or slipping on black ice. But that's me....plus, titties. The universal truth.

Wheel of Fortune slot

I won $500, my friend won $1000. Same day, different casinos.But seriously folks, the sure way to beat the casino is at the Prime Rib and Crab Buffet. You can easily eat 3-5x the cost of admission (compared to buying it in a restaurant).

Rookies....

....yeah. Sit there punching buttons watching flashing lights. Play craps. Learn the rules. Best odds in any house, plus it's social. 6 and 8 all night baby. If you insist on roulette, 17.

Dave's Picks Volume 27

At my age I would "really" appreciate one of the Greek shows perfectly remastered. I'll keep my aging fingers crossed! Mr. Pete-----------> aging hippie

Thumbs up...

...to whoever recommended 19th October 1973. I was so unfamiliar with it, I wasn't sure what kind of release it was-Daves Picks?, Road Trips?-I finally found it among my Dicks Picks, as you might expect. But a great show, and a pleasing harbinger of what's to come. The absolute peak of the show, for me, is "Eyes of the World". Perfectly placed late in the set, it gains momentum and energy as it develops-without losing its jazz like feel. This was one song that seemed to peak early in the bands career-the versions from 1973 and 1974 are beautiful. I notice there are three "Eyes" on the new box set, too. One from 1973 and two from 1974-all similarly placed towards the end of the sets, when the band was already, most likely, firing on all cylinders and deep in the zone.

Seeing Jimi Hendrix-Gary

That must have been incredible. The guy who used to set up my guitars talked of seeing him at a small festival here in England sometime in 1967-and said he could easily of gone up to him to talk to him after his set-he was just milling about like an ordinary person. Last year I went to his old flat in London, that has been lovingly restored to how it approximately was when Jimi lived there. It has some of his guitars, photographs and old album covers representing his record collection. Its like going to a modern church, in a way.

Sports Arena - Atlanta

Funny you mention this GFar. We have had this box of old reel to reels marked SB - GD / HGB 5/10/1970. Sports Arena, Atlanta GA. I never knew what they were and they look too old to play. I'm sure that's just a coincidence. Never mind...

Dave Picks 27

...I believe it's a show from the 90’s era...

A 1990's Dave's Picks?

That'd be like getting Pig Pen to brush his teeth

Pigpen

as everyone knows.. Pigpen was, if nothing else, compulsive about his hygiene.. hence his nickname. Low blow I say.. Sugaree, second song huh.. now that narrows it down.

8/2/76 Hartford

Glad to see Hitmeister give this one a shout out. The only thing I ever hear anyone say about this show is how they got a rough time from the Angels when they tried to bring alcohol in. No prob for me as that as never really a big draw for me. My substances were not liquefied! This was the last show ever at Colt Park. We had a blast and enjoyed the show very much. I loved the late afternoon / early evening shows in the summer. They start out in blazing sun and finish in the moonlight. I always felt like I had been there all day long! All I know is that somehow I ended up with a huge Japanese flag and I was waving it wide & high during the U.S. Blues final encore. I have a boot of this one and would love to see it Normanized. Rock on

4-7-78

That's my guess for Dick's 27. It has Sugaree in the 2nd slot, and is not too long after the 'Close Encounters' show for the alien tie-in. My 2nd guess would be an 82 show for E.T. Too lazy to look up Sugarees from 82.

Some ominous predictions...

...for the next Daves Picks coming in. The two for 1972 seem okay though-31/12 and 6/17, if I remember rightly. The former is a great show, and although I can't recall hearing the latter, neither can I recall hearing a 1972 show I didn't like. It would set us up nicely for the 73/74 box set, too. The two predictions for early 1970 looked promising, too.

Advice from my pals here....

....UB40 is playing here at the end of July. A co-worker of mine is a huge fan. Says I should go with him. Anybody ever seen them? My knowledge is limited.... Kingston Town, Red, Red Wine, Rat In Mi Kitchen. That's about it. Spotify is your friend....DaP 27 thoughts? '70, '79, '82. Those sit well with me. Ask me tomorrow and I may have a different response.
