"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.

PNW Box Unveiling

I received that email as well. There wasn't much too it, a few bullet points and a picture of the box. My guess it was a response to pictures of the box showing up on eBay. Here are the bullets: Some folks like surprises, others not so much. Our PACIFIC NORTHWEST '73-'74 box and its fantastic art and packaging have hit the web so we thought we'd share an official look with you right here, right now.

I am glad you liked Buckeye. That is what makes this band so exciting. What One Man (not you Steve)doesnt like, another does. It is weird we missed such a huge Shakedown. It is an oddity, that within the same confines, you can have different experiences... After all, it was a Grateful Dead concert, so better time spent than elsewhere!

Buckeye Lake '88

I was there and thought it was a really good show all around. The first set with Hornsby sitting in was top notch Dead. The second set opened with three new songs, Victim, Foolish heart and Blow Away. i distinctly remember the reaction of some people towards Victim in particular, and watching the mood grow dark. At that point i knew that was going to be a great song. The Blow away and foolish heart are solid renditions. Terrapin was played to perfection. The post Space segment was pretty standard with a decent reading of The other one, even though without the Phil bass intro. It was indeed hot and oversold. I remember being parked about 12 cars deep right in the middle of probably the biggest "Shakedown street" I even seen. We were trapped in the lot for the duration. Very festive though. The day before the Buckeye show was spent at Cedar Point. Fun weekend. ....speaking of the 6/21/89 Shoreline PPV broadcast, I would also love to see that released. Great show.

Thanks Thin, et. al.

Thanks for the info on Further and Deadco. Also thanks to other commenters. Did not realize that Deborah had caused some issues. Need to watch Long Strange Trip again and watch with a more discerning eye. I think it was Vguy that stated he just wants to hear the music and not be too concerned with the backstage or life making sausage aspects. At least I now understand why Billy and Mickey were shunning and now are back. Thanks again, G Edit OOOps: Stoltzfus not Vguy.

Vault Master Dave

Speaking of more Video. I hope maybe next year you will choose Today's Date 1989 for either release or MUATM or both. I still have my old VHS tapes of the PPV, and they still sound very good. If you do, release the whole PPV with beginning and intermission. The crowd stuff at the beginning and intermission is always fun to show folks who wonder what in the hell was I into. Another show where Phil thunders hard during opening of Estimated. G

90s!

Kevjones-I totally agree. The 90s has some single show stuff, especially in '91 with the lush 7-piece band sound that deserves to come out. The late Brent era has been pretty covered with the entire spring 90 tour being released, which is phenomenal, but I always felt '91 was really their last great year. (No, not "great" like '72 and '73-'74, etc., I know, but still LOTS of good shows, that Jerry's rapid decline prevented from '92 to end.) Don't think I have ever even heard Sandstone but used to play soldier field in my car all the time and 6-17 Giants was one of the best shows I ever saw, along with 12-6-92 Tempe out of 60 or so. (And I hated Giants stad. as a venue and never went back after '92.) It's ironic that people are complaining about MUAM being too 90s when they don't have much other video, but the boxes have been all 70s-which is great-but there are some single shows here and there from '91 that would be a great representation of Bruce Dead. That was the other thing-once Bruce officially left and only played with them sporadically after spring '92, Vince really made you miss Brent. Vince was cool and all, I liked him...but still.

6/16 D&C

You heard right, Thin. First set performances were excellent, but it took them a while to get the sound right, at least from where I was sitting on the first base side. Second set was way beyond expectations. Despite blown lyrics in "St. Stephen" (we're all used to that), they nailed it instrumentally and "The Eleven" was shockingly wonderful.

Another view

I saw Pearl Jam a few years back at Wrigley Field. About 4 songs in, Eddie announced that there was a huge lightning storm on the way, and that we would have to get off the field. The huddled masses gathered together in the ballpark concessions areas for about 2 hours. Finally, the storm subsided (and it was truly a magnificent light show!). We all went to our soggy seats and Eddie came out. He noted that they had to ask permission from the nearby homes, but the mayor had given the 'ok' to continue the show at that hour. PJ finally started in again about 11:00pm and played until well after 1am. It's one of those rarities that they have never released on CD, probably not one of their best by their standards, but I don't know anyone who got to see them that night that was not satisfied. Maybe, in their particular situation, Dead and Co, did not feel they could do that (past Bobby's bedtime?), but for a band that typically plays between 2-3 hours, they owe you something.

Rocket 88

The only summer of 1988 show I saw was Buckeye Lake. One of only 2 shows that I did not like. As has been mentioned, excrutiatingly hot. If memory serves low 100's. Show starts off good. Not sure the heat did not take it out on the fellas. We get there and get in line early to tape, like maybe around 2. They had a huge sign on the interstate, "Grateful Dead, TODAY, $5." So not only did they get us paying full price and driving 400 miles, but then they parked us in a lot real close to the entrance. We thought great, small walk. Had security and parking people to park the crowd. Stand in line in that heat and get down right beside Healy. There must have been close to 100,000 people. I am sure maybe 20,000 only paid $5. Problem was when we leave, and ready to get back to hotel to dub tapes, etc. all of the security and parking people were gone. Ouch. After waiting for several hours we decided to take the Cherokee trail riding and found an escape through the woods to the local road. Did not mind one bit tearing up the field we went through to get to the road, it was all Buckeye Lake property. I still really enjoy the opening Stranger, still wondered about Bobby and his pink Strat. The Sugaree was also good, as was most of the first set. Even after dark it was still in the 90's. That is what made the after show such a problem. There was little lot vending to find a beer, veggie burrito, or water. That was my one and only large venue show. All others were 4,500 to 16,000. Whew. Hard to believe 30 years ago Monday. G

KeithFan2112, about that 4/8/71

I'd like a copy. Does it have El Paso? I love Bobby the Cowboy. Pow pa-pow pow! I can't wait another minute for this box set. But only one Dark Star? Waah. Ouch, I think I cut my lip shaving.

Hippy Chic

Orajel works great for that.

Not that lip.

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.

Tidbit from ABB camp on RFK and Watkins Glen '73 tapes

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...

Not That Lip

I had tons of funny lines to respond to the other lip comment but I rejected them all. With age comes wisdom. Finally.

Dark Star 12/6/73 Cleveland

If you have an extra 45 minutes and want to get lost in a song ..... wish the whole show was released and not just as a bonus disk!!! but i will take what i can get... be good bob t

BOB T...regarding 12 6 73

check your PM...

4-8-71

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.

That's a really nice ham you have there...

....it would be a shame if someone put an 's' at the front and an 'e' at the end.

Why do all hotdogs look the same?....

....because they are in bread.

And...

they blew the count on BIODTL

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.

Thanks KeithFan

Downloaded and enjoying every minute of it. When I'm finished I'll give 4/8/71 a listen.

Bobby the Cowboy

This one is for you Hippy Chic.

Big Iron....

....my son has been on a Marty Robbins bender lately. Better than that dubstep crap he was listening to.

Re: KF - Google Drive

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!

Big Iron Foot

Thanks Fourwinds that was sweet of you. I heard of Bobby and the Midnights but that was my first time listening. Began like Me and My Uncle it did! And what a handsome young devil our dear Bobby looks:)

HDCD article: www.Stereophile.com

This is an old article, republished, with the people who came up with HDCD. If you have a cd player that has this built in you can hear the difference(s). This will explain, in detail, the whole HDCD process. Enjoy the interview article. Mr. Pete-------------> aging hippie

Emotiva CD-100 player plays HDCD discs..and everything else!

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

HDCD

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 ~ Werewolves of London \ ++* /

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

Vguy and Kurt V

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.

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).

Jerry Garcia Interview "The History of Rock 'N' Roll"

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.

Luke Walton

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."

thank you BCE

so good to hear and see ol' Jer again. and remember: "Latvala!"

Speaking of venues

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.

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?

Re: 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.

England off to a good start...5 minutes in, killer free kick!

Re: England

I am finding it hard not to get sucked into this game.. but I'd rather be outside. Ok..... just five more minutes.

England

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.
