    "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.

    Don’t freak out but some Dick’s Picks actually have the spelling ‘Brown Eyed Woman’ (Women is the correct spelling). Onkyo DX-C390 6-CD carousel changer will treat you right. Mine is paired with an Onkyo TX-8050 receiver, Bose subwoofer, and Bose 301’s that are about 5.5 feet off the floor.

    Bravo Vguy! Sellout Pacific NW - someone posted yesterday there about 7,800 left, so roughly half. I think people are waiting until closer to the shipping date. I would be surprised if it makes it to October without selling out. That's 3 weeks after it hits the street, and I think a lot of the people who are on the fence are going to hear how good it is and decide it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission.

    I picked up a Sony CDP-CE500 5 disc changer a couple of years ago when my last cd player died. At the time it was a pretty good deal but in checking amazon it looks like the price about tripled. It works fine, I use the digital output to my receiver so the DAC in my receiver is actually doing most of the work. For what it's worth.

    Alpine 89
    And then there was Alpine 89, which cemented by love of the band. I had one year of college in me where I had met some like-minded people. I had a chance to go to the MECCA shows in the spring, but we didn't have tickets, so I did not accompany my friends down. My best friend (see earlier post) Andy and I decided to hit all three shows at Alpine and camp on-site. Memories from that weekend of amazing shows are good-- I skipped many extracurriculars and stuck to basics. July 17 was obviously the shit-- beautiful evening and the best GD show I ever saw. We got up front of the lawn that night and every night of that run, which kept us out of the mudslides the next two nights as they were higher up. I was more versed with GD music after a year of collecting shows, so all was familiar to me-- except the bust out of 'We Bid You Good night." I could tell it was special, but I also recall enjoying the JBG closer to send us out rockin'. The lot was rocking from that amazing show and the weather was still good for a couple hours. I had a Port-o-Potty incident that scared me off those things for years. I opened the door to one to find human waste piled a foot over the seat. I still marvel at how people perched themselves to make that happen.... We were near a tree line, so I didn't come close to one the rest of our time at Alpine. We were parked next to a fellow selling balloons (I did not partake), so for two nights we went to sleep and woke up to the sound of balloons being filled. We woke up to rain. And it rained for two days with the hardest coming on the last day/night. 7/18 was a fine show. The Sugar Mags into Scarlet was a surprise and listening today that transition was seamless. I felt ripped off, however, when Scarlet was not followed by Fire (my favorite tune at that point in time). The rest of the set was solid though. The last night was soaking wet. I can still see the dancers high stepping on the lawn on the sides of the pavilion seats during the Bucket opener. The Deal set closer smoked (as we all know from Downhill From Here) and set II was hot with some rain tunes included. We called for Phil and got Box. I remember the rain picking up during D/S and a huge lightning bolt during Other One. An amazing couple nights, despite the rain. I never went on tour-- too invested in college to make the leap-- but did Chicago shows when I could. I took 1992-93 off of shows due to a girlfriend who hated them, then hit Soldier Field in 94 and 95. After Jerry died I got into the Stones and the blues heavier with some GOGD mixed in. What got me back? "Ladies and Gentlemen, The Grateful Dead" set-- that Fillmore East 1971 set got me back and I haven't looked back. And I am listening to Alpine 89 this week.

    Alpine 88
    The Alpine reminisces take me back... My first Dead show was as a 17 soon-to-be 18 year old at Alpine Valley in 1988. That hot, dry summer I remember well. I had moved to a suburb outside Madison, WI for my senior year after living my whole life in a suburb of Milwaukee. Tough transition making friends as a senior in a new school. Toward the end of the year I got to be friends with a good group of people-- including two who are now my best buds and Deadheads forever. Anyway, my original high school was full of Deadheads-- talking 84-86 here-- but I was not one of them at that time. Though I was starting to get into them as my high school years progressed. By the spring of 88 I was listening to plenty of studio Dead and I talked my new friends into going to Alpine Valley for a show. The new school did not have any Heads yet. It ended up being a pretty big caravan of us down. We didn't know how to get to Alpine and we rolled into East Troy wondering how to get to the venue. Heads were in the town square taking over town, the small corner store had nothing on the shelves. This was the Sunday night show that year and they sold waaaaay too many tickets for that concert. We couldn't even get parked in the lot, parked on the highway down from the venue. Alpine made corrections to this policy by summer 89. Recollections are vague due to ingestions that day, but I clearly remember the UJB, Miracle, D/S, Throwing Stones and Knockin'. A few of us had our minds blown that day (the jams in UJB and Playin' got me) and became Heads (four of us to be exact). The other dozen had a good time, but never went back and couldn't understand why some of us did. My next shows were the following year, same venue...

    Anyone going to Lockn this year? Let me know (if you want) and we can hang a bit. Also for those in Jersey, I will be there at my sister's after Lockn 8/28 - 8/31. I "plan" on humping up the Delaware Water Gap during the week and hitting Hot Dog Johnny's after. (really, hot dog johnny's, look it up) My sister lives in Asbury off 78. (not Asbury park!) We will probably hit the Pattenburg House where my sister is super friends with owners and can hang in the "upstairs" room. I also "plan" on hitting "tie-dye Tuesdays" at Donavan's Reef in Seabright. All reports have been good about the dead cover bands that have been playing there. So if hangin at Lockn is your thing, climbing the Water Gap, going to local bar or dead covers in seabright, hit me with a pm. I hang with a very mellow group who like to party. D

Ha.. Did we just lose our G rating and entered the land of PG13? Happy Tuesday folks.. Had a great little ride running errands. Started with a pumping albeit short 1970 Cumberland Blues from El Monte CA and when the radio failed to produce I hit play on the CD drive and was treated to a nice electric On The Road Again and my first ever Peggy-O. It was Pretty-O. A serendipitous drive.

A pal just sent me a snippet of a 2001 interview with Kirk West in the ABB camp: First, Kirk notes that the ABB played 45-60 minute opening sets for the GD in Feb '70, which leads me to believe that the upcoming ABB Feb '70 release is at least two discs that will augment the 1997 release of a compilation of Feb 11 and 14. Then Kirk said: "We were also working on two other projects that had release potential - the Dead loved the idea and we loved the idea. These were to be a package from the RFK and Watkins Glen ('73) shows... We went through them and edited them and pieced things together. We were going to do a four-CD release: two Dead, two Brothers.... Then shortly after that, the Brothers sued Polygram, and things got jumbled up. The lawsuits aren't quite resolved yet. Once they are, we'd like to finally get it out..." Unfortunately, if lawsuits ongoing in 2001 were a problem, what to think after 17 years? At least we know that both RFK and Watkins tapes exist, that the GD took a shot at releasing them in tandem with ABB, and now, I'd guess, the "project" is on hold. I'd also guess that the GD knew that RFK 6/9/73 had weak moments, but this info sounds like the GD were willing to release an edited version of 6/10/73. And they knew their 7/28/73 set (the official Watkins set) was not uniformly strong, though the soundcheck (I can tell you from experience) was a real highlight. The shocker, if you will, is that the GD was willing to edit 3 1/2 shows down to 2 discs (160 minutes music, max). Perhaps with Dave L in charge and the success of the DaPs, the GD will realize that those 3 1/2 shows deserve a light edit at best. And they'll make the ABB tapes available to the ABB when the latter are ready to move forward with it. Anyway, I found that tidbit fascinating and hope Dave L now has a firmer hand on what to do with 6/10 and 7/27. Or the whole hot mess...

Listening now. I love this mix. Bob is loud and clear in my left ear and i'm loving it. Strong Truckin' to open. A few wobbles in Bertha. It was a new song at this point, in the rotation for less than two months. Seems like one of those songs where no matter how many times they played it, and they played it a ton, they could get out of step on it. Garcia seems to regularly fumble the lyrics, leading to mistakes in the progression. See Berkeley '72 Dave's for another example. Another one I notice a lot is the beginning of BIODTL. More often than not someone plays an extra note on whatever the count is. I take that to be more of a running inside joke than actual mistakes though. Nice 'Next Time You See Me'. Short Playin' coming up, after this tuning jam. Ha Ha. Cool to see Playin blossom from early '71 to the monster 45 minute version we're about to enjoy.Really enjoying Keith's arpeggiated chord work in the high register early in this Playin. Check it out. Slow day at work. Had a nasty head cold over the weekend so I missed the good weather. Im trying to break up this massive blockage in my head with some good dead music. That was a solid Playin. Loved Keith in that one. Lots of noodling during dead air in this show. And someone on the crew on a hot mic. Was following the thread over the past few days and bummed about the sniping, but that's the environment that's being encouraged from above, unfortunately. I'll leave it at that. Everybody's praying, and drinking that wine. Edit: Its not Keith on piano. Who is it? Its definitely not Pig.

Same to you Lightfoot. P.S. - if you could let me know if I just opened up access to my entire google drive, I'd appreciate it (wasn't my intention). If I did...please...just don't delete the porn. I don't care what happens to the rest of it, but leave the porn.

Hey KF, I was rummaging through all the detail on that link too. Many thanks man. I downloaded the show and it sounds great. I also think I accidentally downloaded some other random directory. In opening it I had to reset the password to see the contents and it appears to be all your Bitcoin data. Now.. I can't seem to remember the new password. Wow.. you had more than 6,500 Bitcoins. A lot, yes? Does anyone out there know how much that is worth and what I have to do to transfer these into things into Thunderbird wine, lottery tickets and Wallmart gift cards? Yes to Big Iron. I always liked Bobby's cover of this. Edit: Sweet. I'm going big and buying a modified pin-striped lime green hopped up turbo charged Gremlin. Thanks KF!

I do NOT work for Emotiva but they make very good products. If you are in the market for a cd replacement this model plays HDCD discs. It is priced around $300 which is not bad for a good quality cd player. So, if you have a LOT of dead HDCD's you might give this player some thought. They also make an audiophile cd player for twice the price. I am sure it is excellent...but worth twice the money??? If you have a good stereo you will notice a better sound quality. If you are depressed over the current political situation(s) this might help "snap" you out of your.....funk! Have a nice day. Mr. Pete----------> aging hippie

Mr Pete A good way to check the difference between hdcd and none is the original vault 2 didn't have it and the 3 cd reissue does. The difference is readily apparent

Me and My Uncle ~ 7.21.72 ~ Paramount Northwest Theatre ~ Seattle, Washington One of my favorites Werewolves of London ~ 4.19.78 ~ Vet's Memorial Auditorium ~ Columbus, Ohio During drums the band is prepping for the encore with a few wolf howls Hey daverock, World Cup , I'm pulling for England, at the start of tourney the three teams I was expecting to see near the end and rated as best were England, France, Brasil. Harry Kane is a top tier player in this tournament and I expect him to be the difference in today's match. Overall, a lot of the matches have been entertaining , but I feel this has been one of the weaker World Cups. The national teams seem like junior varsity compared to what they have been in previous tournaments

Kurt V is/was one of if not the favorite author of this aging freak. The respect is still there but I found a few years ago when I was going to reread all his books that I read years ago I couldn't do it. His cynacism and irory is so depressing I just couldn't do it. Mother Night's a good example. Have you read Player Piano? His 1st and to me his best and so true. It's funny nowadays I read nonfiction I read a 3 vol history of the 3rd Reich but can't read Slaughterhouse Five As far as real books vs kindle hands down I prefer books. The tactile effect, the photos maps etc.

PHISH, TUESDAY 07/11/2000 DEER CREEK MUSIC CENTER Noblesville, IN SET 1: Ya Mar, The Moma Dance, Uncle Pen, Drowned, Chalk Dust Torture Reprise > Chalk Dust Torture, Theme From the Bottom > Cavern SET 2: Also Sprach Zarathustra > Down with Disease -> Moby Dick > Down with Disease > Runaway Jim -> Moby Dick, Back on the Train -> Moby Dick > Back on the Train, Harry Hood > Moby Dick, Hold Your Head Up > Terrapin > Hold Your Head Up > Moby Dick[1] > Hold Your Head Up, Character Zero ENCORE: First Tube > Moby Dick > Chalk Dust Torture Reprise [1] Trey on drums and Fish on vacuum. In keeping with the theme of the second set, Hood included a Moby Dick tease. Trey introduced Fish as “Russell Crowe” during Terrapin. The Moby Dick inside of the HYHU jam featured Trey on drums and Fish on vacuum. The Chalk Dust Reprise was akin to the version last played on December 10, 1994 (391 shows), with the band singing the words “Chalk Dust Torture” over varied music. At the end of the encore, Trey joked that, if anyone missed anything, they should read the book or see the movie. Prior to this show, Moby Dick had not been played since November 29, 1997 (172 shows).

Flashback!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVkkbJ_KI2Y For the first 46 minutes of this 52 minute clip, Jerry delights us, well he delighted me, with his views of music and about at the 46 minute mark, "LATVALA COMES ALIVE" Dick Latvala gives us a mini tour of the Grateful Dead vault back when everything was either at the Front Street site or at Bel Marin Keys, and Jerry's vault was still residing with the rest of the Grateful Dead and solo projects vault.

There is an article on ESPN about the behind the scenes stuff surrounding LeBron James and the Lakers...this part made me chuckle: Luke's father, Bill Walton, would call him from a Grateful Dead concert to help celebrate. "Yeah, and he had [drummer] Mickey Hart in the background yelling at me that, 'The rhythm is the answer to everything in life,'" Luke Walton said with a laugh. "So once I figure out what that means, we'll be good."

A cool article on the going on 5 year old SF Jazz Center. Quite a place. Anything that touches on jazz or is somehow related fits the bill. David Grisman and Taj Majal among the upcoming artists there this summer. Says it has 95% occupancy with many sold old shows, and over 470 performances per year. I gotta get down there more often. Great to see this thriving in today's music (ahem) environment. https://www.sfgate.com/music/article/SFJazz-hits-high-note-at-5-year-ma…

I have pre-order most of the box sets. Did not get Fillmore, E72, (was sent download files) and the first Spring 90 box. Had SBDs of Fillmore and '90 so I didn't feel the need. Anyway, I just re-ordered 7/78. My pre-order set was numbered 12568, the re-order was 4482. seems strange?

These things probably come boxed on a big palate.. and even if they are arranged numerically when they first set foot in the US, they get unboxed, taken off the palate and put on shelves in a warehouse in whatever order they are unpacked. Then as the shelf size shrinks.. they probably get moved at least once to make room for more material. Long story short.. it would cost money to keep them in any kind of order throughout the entire process and they would get exactly zero for the extra effort. Have you ever tried to put something in order with a run size of 18k? Reminds me of two accounting concepts LIFO and FIFO. LIFO is Last In First Out.. like if you are restacking something with a long shelf life or moving gravel (or perhaps big stacks of CD sets). FIFO is First In First Out, good for perishables or something with a shelf life. Makes perfect sense to me, simple economics. Way to go staying up on July 78. Great box.

Yes, England seem to be doing alright. I am not a big football fan, but I have been watching the odd game-with the sound down and some music playing in the background. England seem workmanlike, rather than inspired, from what I have seen. I watched France and Belgium last night, and France looked a lot more skilful-though I wasn't so keen on all the diving they did, pretending to be tripped up when they hadn't been. Brazil were the worst in this respect. I was glad to see the back of them. Last night I was listening to 10th November 1973-the Playing-Uncle Johns-Morning Dew-Uncle Johns-Playing jam. What an exceptional piece of music. Its not the best time to say it, but I've always enjoyed 1972 versions of Playing more than those from subsequent years. They just feel so energetic and exploratory-a raging storm. But that 1973 version is beautiful-its restrained compared to ones from 72, but its so calm and dreamlike, as I said on the other board. Every member of the band plays in perfect response to everyone else. I don't think I've ever enjoyed it as much as I did last night. Anyway, I'm off-its kick off time in a minute.

Such a typical England performance - snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. So often they play so poorly it beggars belief, and tonight was such a performance. People cannot imagine how stressful it is being an England supporter. It is not for nothing that the most common songs to hear on the terraces during and England game are "The great escape" and "Mission impossible". Four more years.

;) Yeah, yeah, I know, my team didn’t even make the playoffs. They choked so much this season they turned blue. I’m not watching soccer, am watching TDF when I can. Keeping with the pre-Box warm-up, going with 4-2-73 at the moment.
