    "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.

    Last year's big box...
    Recently (since Warner has taken over handling orders?) the value on the customs declaration on packages has been stated as $1. This first came to my attention with my order for the "Get shown the light" box which cost $139.98. Instead of the postman delivering the package he delivered a letter from the Dutch customs which asked me to provide proof of the value of the package. Unfortunately they were unable to give me any details about the package whatsoever, but luckily it was the only international order that I was currently awaiting. As well as having to fill out a customs form which threatened all sorts of dire consequences for stating incorrect information (bearing in mind I was guessing what package they were referring to) I had to provide a copy of the original order where the value was naturally given in dollars and also a copy of my credit card transactions which showed both a dollar and a Euro value for the order. Subsequently my package was delivered after a wait of some two weeks, meaning that it was took more than a month from shipping to arriving at my house. When it did arrive, I checked the customs declaration sticker and saw that a value of $1 had been stated for this fairly large box set of CDs. No wonder the customs didn't believe the declaration. Not all customs were as savvy as the Dutch customs, meaning that some lucky punters did not have to pay duty. Again it really had little to do with "snail mail" shipping.

    Well thank goodness for the newbies Seth
    Your comments about newbies and their "ignorance" were made in such a condescending manner that the context is irrelevant. You're just a jackass for talking down to people who aren't as Deader than Thou. The fact of the matter is that there ARE more and more people coming across this music for the first time (in no small part to Dead & Co), and they're used to better quality than what these archive tapes often provide. Instead of insulting them, why don't you kindly explain the backstory of these tapes and provide some links. Better yet, since you are so interested in having them aboard for their financial contribution to the machine that provides you with so much personal pleasure, why don't you really put that burnt-out head to use, and point them to something that sounds a little more like a common commercial release from a band, like Get Shown The Light.

    Brokerage charges
    This is what (in this case) UPS charge for doing the work of the customs for them. The amount is an additional charge above the import duty. However, here in the Netherlands (and probably in most other countries), if a package enters the country and duty is levied by the customs themselves, they also add their own administrative charge on top of the duty. It is not only UPS who add on such charges, governments do it as well. Ain't nothing for free these days in a world where everyone is a thief. Sad but true department.

    Bloody UPS Charges
    Likewise in the UK, I've arrived home from work to find an invoice from UPS for charges totalling £48.71! At least this amount correlates to what another person here has said they have been charged. If £37.46 of such is the Import Tax (it's shown as Import VAT on the invoice), then I guess there's not a lot I can do about that one. BUT what the hell are the brokerage charges of £11.25???!!! Like others, I've already paid postage to the UK of $53.99, roughly £41.42 (at current rates).The total postage and charges is therefore going to be approx. 50% of the price of the box itself!!! Has anybody reached out to dead.net, or got an answer from them. If I'd have known about these additional charges.....!

    International shipping
    It is indeed disturbing that folks in England seem to be being charged varying/random amounts by UPS for import duty. I cannot see how that can be right. @marshie59: You state that "my agreement with Dead.Net was for "snail mail" not UPS to be used." Personally I have never seen a choice of international shipping options here on dead.net. Normally there is only the one option, i.e. International shipping. It is not stated how this will be done. Mostly it is by USPS and takes a few weeks, longer if the value of the order attracts the attention of customs. Sometimes they choose to use UPS for some reason. Delivery time with UPS is typically much quicker. As for sometimes paying duty and sometimes not, that is down to the value of the item(s) rather than them shipper used. Here in the Netherlands, I never have to pay duty on items like Dave's Picks but always on high priced items such as box sets. There are clearly stated values at which VAT and import duty are levied on goods and they stick pretty closely to those values.

    I got my set yesterday and opened it this morning. It is really beautiful but very oddly, disc 15 from the Portland '74 set is completely missing. I emailed customer service, hope they get back to me soon. Anybody else have a problem like this?

    Just arrived home to find a failed delivery card from those most legal of highway robbers, UPS for my PNW box set. Those dolts want £71.99 from me to release the goods....we'll see about that !. Now, does anyone know of anyone i can contact initially (GDM etc) in order to get the ball rolling ?. The fact that different fees have been levied for various purchasers of the box prove beyond all reasonable doubt that these morons (UPS) are arbitrarily plucking figures out of a hat for charging purposes. What a cluster@&ck !.

    Quite agree SimonRob. As my name is not Mr A M Azon I do not wish to dodge tax. But when the things are imported via UPS they offer up the duty on entry whereas when the deliveries come using international snail mail they quite often (not always) do not attract the attention of Customs. That's why quite a lot of us in the UK and Europe are prepared to wait the month or so for delivery. On a boring technical point my agreement with Dead.Net was for "snail mail" not UPS to be used. Now I appear to have some listening to do! And the whole package is a thing of beauty :-) Cheers

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.

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

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).

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.
