    "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.

    I would guess by the time the box comes out, and deadheads comment on how nice the box looks, that will "seal the deal" for a lot of people.I am not familiar with the NW shows so I am very much looking forward to sitting down, pouring a cold beverage, lighting up one of my dead meerschaum pipes, and enjoying each show. I am sure the quality of the sound will be...excellent! A lot of us forget how bad cassettes were in the day. Not all...but most! Have a great day! Mr. Pete-----------------> aging hippie

    Total run time for 6/1 @ Camden was 2 hrs, 54 minutes (18 songs including encore) per my Nugs download. For 6/2, it was 1 hr, 46 minutes (10 songs). I don't have the specific Set 1 vs. Set 2 breakdown at the moment. In listening, I felt like the 6/2 first set seemed longer than usual. On a related note, hoping to catch the boys at Blossom tomorrow if time permits!

    Refund
    Not sure why you feel entitled to a refund. You don't get a refund if a baseball game gets called early due to rain. You don't get a refund if you buy a ski pass for the season and it does not snow. Our plow guy certainly does not offer a refund if it does not snow. The same thing happened in Canandaigua a few years back. Sucks, but that is how life works.

    Lucky you, daverock and Jim. Have only seen him live once, back in 1979 or 80 (edit: oops, not that anybody cares, but I remember now that it was in 1976. 42 years ago? Ouch) not long after Wired came out, so that and Blow by Blow made up a good portion of the show. How could anyone not like that? Seems he'll be in southern Cal this tour but I'm up north, so will miss him again. In the age of youtube, though, it's easy to see parts of these tours that I cannot attend. He's still among the pinnacle of my rock guitar favorites, with that rare blend of technique, emotion, and inventiveness. I can listen to Garcia endlessly, but when I'm in the right mood, JB has that different sort of mojo that's a cut above. Guys like Clapton, Santana, Robbie Robertson, and name 20 others always had lots of talent, but Beck continued to evolve and innovate, and damn does he ever age? I think his adventurous spirit, constant playing with new and talented sidemen, and restraint on overexposing himself has helped him maintain his longevity and freshness. Just re-read your post daverock, and somehow I missed the Imelda May reference as the warm up act on my first read. Wow, would I have liked to have been at that show! Jim, you'll be lucky if she comes along on his US tour too.

    Percentages
    Thx Jimbo. And I did some quick math on your numbers below - they are eerily similar in terms of % unique songs played; FW 69 is 35.4839% 'unique songs' vs. PNW 73/74 being 36.5854% unique songs. Moral of the story seems to be that repeats have long been A Thing across runs. I ain't complainin'! Fun w/#'s Sixtus P.S. and it was the China > Rider transition from 5/19/74, while listening on my Walkman strolling to my French class that had me repeatedly rewinding that Feelin Groovy jam which has since had me 1000% hooked on that little snippet whenever and wherever it pops up.

    Re: Sixtus III, I'm Shocked, Songs..
    First.. congrats and best of luck Sixtus. Seond.. I got a nice chuckle out of thin being "shocked!" Chortled my coffee a bit.. I suspect the frequent visitors of these threads are mostly all-in on this one with some that are interested but passing for various reasons. I think it's worth it for a cleaned up, pristine PNE 73 alone, add in Seattle 74 and the rest is bonus material. I cannot get enough WRS's either, Truckin' had legs back then, China Riders were going through a pivotal evolution, there are some first set novelties like The Race is On, early Peggy-O's and others and you have the makings for a great box set. ..and that's before the extra time and effort mastering, Plangent, etc. As for songs. Just for kicks and giggles I compared to FW 69. I know there is no comparison, FW was an explosive early high water mark. ..but this is how they match up: FW 69 Shows 4 Songs 62 Avg. Songs per Show 15.5 Unique Songs 22 PNW 73/74 Shows 6 Songs 164 Avg. Songs per Show 27.3 Unique Songs 60

    Dead & Co Rain Out Camden June 2
    On a different note, I decided I wanted to know where it said in my ticket agreement that the BB&T Pavilion can cancel a show at some point through it without offering a refund. They are offering some free streaming stuff, but to be frank, I was treated rather belligerently by the woman I spoke to. She actually interrupted me, and said the words, "you're not getting a refund" after cutting me off several times in an impatient tone. I was very cordial in my questions and demeanor, so, clearly no respect for the customer (not because I wasn't given a refund right), but because I was talked down to and interrupted. This woman, after not knowing the answers, told me to Google it. I guess I can't be too surprised at poor customer service, but I can't remember the last time congeniality was reciprocated by condescension. I asked for her manager and was forwarded to his voice mail, so I left him a message. I don't know about you guys, but this sort of thing sticks in my craw, and frankly the discussion on Hell Freezes Over and increased ticket sales prices is what really got me to thinking I'm not happy with this outcome, and that I was going to call about it. I believe that the cost to either BB&T Pavilion and or Dead and Company to redo the show is going to hurt their pocketbooks a lot less than a great number of fans who attended, once you break it down to percentages and household income, etc. If it says in my ticket or anywhere in my purchase agreement that they have a right to do this, then it is what it is and I'm fine with it. If anyone out there has statistics on the number of minutes played at any Dead & Co shows, I would be grateful for them (like, if you have a show loaded up on your iPod, and the total runtime for both sets and Encore equals x number of minutes, that would be great thanks). The June 1st and 2nd Camden shows especially.

    Hey Now Just checking in after a bit of a hiatus - life's curveballs, you know? Busy times and not so busy times but busy times will indeed REIGN when Sixtus III arrives this Friday AM so long as all goes as scheduled. Then, crazy train. Good to catch up from the last several days, here. Psyched for this Big Box. Just looking forward to the smooth sound upgrade and some monster shows, just gimme it All. Dead & Co have been a lot of fun lately - that Billy Tell > Eleven rolled me over (sounds like VGuy too). Also coming out of Space into Eyes? My cup O' Tea. Be well people! revel in the summertime - I will certainly try and will do my best to check in and offer some candid updates. That may or may not involve poop. Sixtus

    Pacific Northwest Sellout Efficacy
    It's almost impossible to compare sales performance of any one Grateful Dead box set to another. Some we don't know how many they produced (Winterland 1973 & 1977); some are from extremely famous runs (Cornell, Europe '72); some are relatively expensive; some are relatively inexpensive; and some are available for download, so we can't even measure their sales. In hindsight, it seems clear why Cornell, Europe 72, Fillmore West 1969, and 30 Trips Around the Sun sold out quickly. It is interesting that Winterland June 1977 and Winterland 1973 took about five years to sell out, while the May 1977 box set took less than a year. Judging by eBay prices, the Winterland '77 Box is in much higher demand. This has me thinking they either manufactured an assload of Winterland June 1977 boxes, or the "Limited Edition" marketing scheme is hugely effective. I can't see Pacific Northwest box being on the shelves for more than 6 months after the September 7th release date for the following reasons: * The time of their career it encompasses, '73 / '74 * The 15K Limited Edition production run (a number we know doesn't last too too long) * The fact that it's in the medium to low price range * Its availability for the holiday season * The "word of mouth" advertising this box is sure to get (I believe it's a foregone conclusion that it's going to sound great and contain outstanding performances - we are going to be raving about it after it hits our doorsteps, and if it didn't sell out by then, they will start selling like hotcakes as the holiday season approaches) * The Grateful Dead's back catalogue is arguably in higher demand than ever. Dead & Co's impact, I believe, has contributed greatly to this. Even if one doesn't think there is any relevance there, the fact remains the back catalog is in higher demand than ever based on the increased production numbers of Dave's Picks. So yeah, good times good times. I'm not surprised that this didn't sell out overnight. It's not Europe 72. I think it's most akin to the Dave's Picks yearly subscription sales. We all know the boxes are out there in comparatively high numbers, and we all know the rate at which they're selling. Some of us are taking our time because we have time to take. But the window will shorten once the product hits the street and the holidays are upon us. You can't keep half a dozen brand new releases from one of the Grateful Dead's most cherished eras out of the hands of Deadheads for long. This is not Cornell or Europe 72, but it is also no July 1978 or RFK '89. I think after all is said and done, the Pacific Northwest box may reflect the sales pattern of 30 Trips Around the Sun.

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

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.
