    "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.

    Camembert is not what it used to be, since now in France, they allow pasteurized milk camembert to be labelled as "Appelation Controlee"Dead content? Sure: John Mayer is like a pasteurized Jerry. Still really good, but not the real thing.

    Good post-I have never heard of the tv show "Route 66". But your quote provides a great example of how there often (always?) more ways of looking at any given situation than is immediately apparent. I am suddenly reminded of an old Todd Rundgren song -I can't remember what its called, but I'm pretty sure its on "A Wizard, A True Star", The chorus goes-"You want the obvious-you'll get the obvious" or some such.

    point taken on this, however virtually no commercially imported French Camembert is raw milk sourced due to excessive regulations. Small scale artisans minimally process and may use raw milk, see below... What does this have to do with the GOGD? Vermont Senator Pat Leahy is a dead head.But do the cows listen to the dead in the milking parlor? https://culturecheesemag.com/cheese-bites/cheesemakers-congress-call-ou… aw shucks, it might almost look like politics but keep reading, Blythedale is a raw milk cheese producer https://www.realmilk.com/real-milk-finder/vermont/

    Dave’s 27 longshot but I would be happy
    I feel like an 80’s release is coming and the year I would like to see is 1982. If I could pick the show it would be 8-10-82 from Iowa City with an unreal Eyes among other gems. Best guess for an 82 release would be 10-10-82 Frost. I love all of the speculation around the time of a new release. We are spoiled silly and I am happy for whatever may be coming our way.

    Dave’s/Sell outs
    Once again I have to say it. Why don’t they take pre-orders before they run production, then guestsmste what they’ll need for the rest of general market and individual sales etcThis way everybodygets a copy and they don’t get stuck with too much overstock, although some would be good for Johnny come latelys etc... Also, not having limited/numbered etc might remove some of the greed/resale factor...so people wouldn’t be buying multiple copies for resale...

    Ahh, great board shop back in the day..... I always liked the old saying “there are three sides to every story, side one, side two, and the truth which lies somewhere in the middle ; ) Probably apropos of the book also? As for the Fourth, wierd day, fires all around us, hot and windy, so all Fireworks canceled. It looked surreal, all dark like the flat light in December....HOA just stained the deck and this morning there is ash all stuck to it.... also, back to work today so had to dial the “fun” back.... Hope all y’all had a great day!

    Wow I actually totally forgot that we have another Dave's coming in the next several weeks. We are beyond spoiled. Hmm, I'm always bad at guessing these things. Doesn't seem like TPTB care about what year or lineup is "due" (nor should they be), but if you ask me, I think we're going to get a show from 68 or 69. This has already been a pretty incredible year for releases so why not keep it going. Hope everyone had a great 4th (or in Dave Rock's case, a nice Wednesday). I'm still full from eating too many burgers and still have a ringing in my ear from the fireworks. Truly a sign of a good holiday.

    daverock - two sides to every coin
    Old tv show called Route 66 had a episode called "Three Sides". Excerpt follows. Tod Stiles: I remember something Dad used to say. Buz Murdock: What's that? Tod Stiles: Whenever you reach an impasse look at the third side of the coin. Buz Murdock: The third side? Tod Stiles: Yea. Buz Murdock: I thought there was only two sides to a coin. Tod Stiles: The third side is the edge, the place the two sides come together. The meeting place of heads and tails. Dad used to say that was the best side, because it welds opposites together. And it's a circle, a continuous circle, closed and perfect, as endless as understanding itself.

    Half way through JPB’s, good so far, about what you’d expect, nothing crazy.... Selvins......not enough time for full comment, but generally ok book, could of been good if he’d get out of the way of his own coffee breath as Jon Evison would say....obviously he has an axe to grind with the Lesh’s...There was so much material to work with that a great book could of just reported things without the constant little digs and his personal opinions etc. There where also just enough factual mistakes to question his authority on the subject. For someone who says he’s not a head, but has had all this access and experience on their beat, it occasionally felt like he was just another wanker trying to cash in. I did like how he eventually tied it together in a positive spin about FTW, and how WE the fans made it happen etc, even if I disagree about the choice of Trey and his critique of the music. He did capture the essence of the excitement about the shows, and the travel plans etc. I remember feeling like all that was what made it fun.....reliving the whole excitement and process/preparations etc e.g., where are we going to watch, what are we going to do etc.... As far as surprises, I probably knew about half of it, or most of the general nonsense that was going on. I guess I was enlightened about others participation/roles in the whole mess, and why certain thinks we’re said and done. But of course those opinions are partly based on his obviously biased view, since no one inside has, or probably never will correct the record.....would like to go back and read some of the other books over again now......also, need to read his Altemount to see if this is always his style, or is he really have it out for the Lesh’s? Remeber folks, these guys are just people, not gods. So just like the rest of us, sometimes their going to do dumb/shitty stuff, especially when your scared and your future is completely up in the air etc. I’m not condoning some of the behavior, just saying that when you look at the big picture objectively, you can perhaps understand things a little.... Most importantly, we can’t let any of this diminish what it’s really all about, the MUSIC!! “Sweet, sweet, music....”

    Member.... 1986; 6/30/86 Riverbend and 7/4/86 Buffalo were great, don’t remember so much of Alpine (1st time there, I do remeber it was a blast camping in the far lot etc, and that whole trip was insane!) ...recall thinking Akron was lame? It seemed like altemont with burning tires and wierd shit, but a, that might of been something I ate?? and/or the comparative let down after Riverbend? Remember Dylan came out to jam but it wasn’t happening.....have never heard this show because of my memories, perhaps I should at least give it a spin sometime.... not familiar with 6/22, will have to check it out.... 1978; I’ve tried again to get jazzed by this box, (have listened to 1st, 3rd and 5th so far), but meh, imho it’s white bread...perfectly fine shows etc, I like them (3rd is fav so far...) their just not wierd/psychedelic enough to move me. Of course that’s how I feel in general about the Mickey Godchaux Band.....I’m sure I won’t feel this way about the new Box!! 7-4-87; nother one I recall feeling was lame and the overall vibe was pure shit show??? Got so turned off by summer shit winds tour,(Alpine, Wonderland, Chrotchfester, Boston) combined with choices of venues in the fall, I sat out fall tour.....luckily Hampton 3/26-28/88 rekindled the hope. Did like Chrotchfester show..... 7/4/89; still really dig this one, perhaps tour favorite, or 7/17/89.....both were great shows, 7/4 being home base in those days was great fun. Alpine was great show, bit less fun (personal experience/logistics etc, not the show it self) So Dave WTF......tap, tap, tap hear our collective feet tapping, waiting......for number 27....... Received 23 I think it was 1/22/78 on August 1st last year. If they follow the usual timelines, they ought to be dropping this one sooner than later. Hurry up ya bastids, sone of us have nothing else to look forward too, lol, and we NEED A FIX!!! That is all.

Greetings GD Community. Apologies to all for the interruption to this board. I am requesting some help for some information from a previous post in this board. I believe that someone posted a comment to this board recently and included that they were a Sandy Denny fan. I have searched and searched the posts for the past several days and I cannot locate it. Perhaps, I never saw this. Or never saw it here. Well, I thought I would ask for some help from you all. If there is anyone that noticed that post and can help me locate it, or perhaps the person who posted it, would you please be able to PM with that information? It would be much appreciated. I thank you all for your time in reading this message. Again, my apologies for the interruption to the discussions. Hope everyone has a beautiful day. Regards

Thanks for the recommendations, danc. I only really discovered King Crimson recently myself, and I have never heard many of the bands you mention. I will definitely do some exploring. Soft Machine are still touring, and are superb live. They are now led by Theo Travis on sax and John Etheridge on guitar. I also bought a cd by Ray Russell last year, called "Rites and Rituals" which is worth a listen. One new band I came across a few years ago, who play a very frenetic amalgamation of jazz and rock are Norways Elephant9. I saw them at the esteemed jazz venue, Ronnie Scotts, and they blew the roof off the joint. At the intermission, seasoned jazzers could be seen leaving the venue-and I overhead one pundit say-"You can't call THAT jazz!"-They were that good. As to the difference between prog and fusion...I'm not sure! I always think of prog as being more orchestrated-less improvisational and maybe more influenced by light European classical music. Fusion seems to stem from Bitches Brew. Although the free jazz movement of the early 60s is in there, too-Ornette Coleman, Sun Ra, John Coltrane. There were so many categories of music, all loosely played by so called "underground" bands in the early-mid 70s in Britain. Not only the above two, but also space rock-Hawkwind and Gong, heavy rock-Deep Purple and Black Sabbath, folk-Fairport Convention, Incredible String Band, blues-Rory Gallagher, The Groundhogs. None of these categories were recognised as such at the time, I don't think-but there was some great music being played across the spectrum. In about 1974, it all seemed to get very stale,though, and in 1976 we had the new, supposedly improved version of rock. Punk. That's one way of looking at it anyway!

Oroboros.....another great story. Nothing tops the Dragon (Oroboros) story, but a Grate One all the same! Coincidentally, I have had Road Trips Volume 2, No. 3 downloaded on my phone, and therefore on regular rotation lately. Only problem is that it's only a partial show. Does anyone have a complete SBD of this show? If so, I would sure appreciate a copy....I have checked my files and can't find one. One thing......since the statute of limitations is past, how about that side story? (you mentioned you would only focus on the show story). You're such a good story teller, I have a feeling it's probably entertaining! Do tell!! Edit: An SBD of that Allman Bros show from KC in 74 would also be sweet!!! I wonder if that exists somewhere?

CCR was my first "big" show. MSG in May 1970. CCR was one of the top bands at the time and they were great! John Fogarty is an awesome song writer & performer. Booker T and the MG's opened. Green Onions & Time is Tight! Yeah baby. I have seen CSN, CN, SY and S solo. I think Stills is my fave. A local record shop has a boot of Stills playing w/ the GD at the Thelma, I think it is the nite before DaP10, 12/11/69. I am sorely tempted to pull the trigger on that one even though I usually do not buy unauthorized boots. Rock on

You are correct hbob.. 12/10/69, Thelma. I've got it.. check your PM I'm happy to share. He also played with them on 4/16/83 at the Brendon Byrne Arena in NJ. Black Queen both nights. Rumor has it they made a giant series of lines on a mirror backstage that read Stephen Stills and gave it to him. Bet he didn't sleep well that night. When I was in college I had this short gig DJ'ing for the new (at the time) college radio station. I just played my tapes until I sort of ran out of new ones to play. I'd bet what I was doing was not quite legal.. and before Gan's The Grateful Dead Hour, but no one seemed to care enough to complain. I played that Brendon Byrne show and got my one and only phone call.. "Who's that singing Black Queen?" Pirate radio at it's finest.

CCR were great-but I never really got into CSNY. I was put off by their appearance in the film of Woodstock. I was about 18 when I saw it and liked a bit more oomph with my music. So at Woodstock the music I liked most was Jimi Hendrix, Ten Years After and The Who. I thought Santana was pretty good, too. I used to like "If Only I Could Remember My Name",-the David Crosby solo album featuring members of The Dead. I haven't played it in years, though.

today I was out uber eats driving. I get a call to go to Aurora/Hwy 99. I put in Deep Purple live in Japan 1972. "Highway Star" plays. I see the sign southbound 99 that declares it a "Blue Star Memorial Highway." immediately to the right of the blue star in the rectangle it says "Star Highway." "just as plain as day, it could not be denied" interesting, if nothing else.

11/20/78 GDH 406 If this show existed in better quality you know it'd be Normanized by now. While you compare the IIHTWTG to the Comes A Time from 5/9/77 it takes me to Comes A Time from 5/4/77, the Mission from 6/29/76 has no comparison IMO.

Bolo that was great - the only cure for our affliction is more shows. That is about the size of things isn't it. I thought this was a great statement too: "I walked out of Winterland half-expecting to find a different planet on the other side of the door". I've been blown away by a couple of bands like that. I didn't realize you were that.... you know, I didn't realize your Grateful Dead experience went back to.....that's great you got to see them before the hiatus. Really cool. I would love to hear more about it some time. Hiatus. HiATEus. Hi-ate-us. Funny word, hiatus. Anyway, I didn't have enough time to listen to the whole thing last night, so I'm finishing it right now. I'm in the middle of the Playing in the Band medley, and completely forgot there's a Morning Dew in there. Imagine my delight when I heard the opening chords. 1973 and 1974 I think of my favorite year for that song. I really did Keith's piano. I'm not sure if that was Erik or Jenn, but I concur. 30 Trips 1974 kicks ass. That Lemieux knows how to pick them. Awesome UJB opener, one of my favs. Coincidentally, there's been some talk about the Fillmore East shows from April 71. That was the first version of Uncle John's Band I ever heard, and I still think it's the best one. The only disclaimer I put on that statement is that I'm talking about the core song and not any of the extended jamming that took place as the song developed over the years. But yeah, 30 trips 1974, great show, great sound for 1974 too. I was just listening to that one the other day in the car. I do a little cherry picking of the super good songs when I'm in the car. Really enjoyed the Jack Straw, Peggy-O, Me & My Uncle, Eyes Of The World, Truckin' and Caution Jam. It's kind of funny. My doctor told me I've got some hearing loss in the mid-range. I'm thinking yeah it's those Wall of Sound shows doing that.

Lot of great songs.But the ~16 minute Heard It Through The Grapevine is my favorite. I had it on cassette in the 80’s. It was on CD in the early 90’s but it seems to be out of print. I bought the vinyl recently and the Grapevine was trimmed down to ~3 minutes, cuts out just as the jam is about to begin.

I just realize that you were talking about Crosby Stills Nash and sometimes Young all this time. I've seen: CSN X2, CN, Nash, and NY ×10?

...this performance was really one of there early performances in playing to a large crowd if my memory serves me right... Here’s some info ——“Scared Shitless ” is not a phrase I would associate with the heaven sent quartet Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, but if my second performance with my band was at Woodstock, I’m sure I would be able to relate. The group formed in 1968 after the fracturing of bands The Hollies, The Byrds, and Buffalo Springfield. The initial lineup consisted of only Crosby, Stills, and Nash, and the band needed more personnel in order to tour, as Steven Stills was responsible for most of the instrumentals. The trio finally settled with Neil Young. Their second concert together was none other than Woodstock 1969. Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young had played only one previous show together prior to Woodstock, and although each member was an experienced musician, the lack of playing together resulted in the band being incredibly nervous. The set included acoustic performances of songs from the first album released without Young, who came out and played as a duo with Stills. They were announced as their former band Buffalo Springfield, although the actual Buffalo Springfield had since disintegrated. After their sink or swim induction into the rock and roll world at Woodstock, they followed up with their first release as a quartet titled “Deja Vu ” which topped the charts and produced three hit singles. Soon after, a hasty move by Young to release his single “Ohio ” dissolved the band ‘s relationship and the band began shifting between releases as a trio and a quartet. As a band, they were never able to recapture the esteem and momentum that they originally possessed. Over the years the band was mainly comprised of different combinations of Crosby, Stills, and Nash, while Young spent most of his time touring with his other backup band Crazy Horse and being at odds with Stephen Stills. After David Crosby ‘s wild ride with drug and firearm charges, Young rejoined the band briefly and they released the album “American Dream ” in 1988 which did make it to number 16 on the charts, but received poor reviews from critics. Young refused to tour on the album and the band would not tour together again until 2006. Their “Freedom of Speech ” tour was launched in support of Young ‘s album “Living With War ” and included new protest songs as well as songs from Stills’ latent release titled “Man Alive “. Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young have always been known for their activism as well as their anti-war mentality. Like many other artists involved with Woodstock, they are again emerging as musicians with a voice who vocalize dissatisfaction with the country ‘s current state of affairs. Crosby, Stills, and Nash were most recently on the Colbert Report where they performed their famous song “Teach Your Children ” from the “Deja Vu ” album. CSNY later went on to record Joni Mitchell’s song “Woodstock”. The song rose up the charts quickly lead by the vocals of Stephen Stills, and instantly became the most recognizable song about the Woodstock festival.

All but the last CCR album have been remastered and re-released with bonus tracks: outtakes and live cuts. 'Grapevine' clocks in at 11:03 on 'Cosmo's Factory', and the entire album sans bonus tracks clocks in at 42:25. Since most albums were 18-22 mins. per side I don't think this is an edited version. Was it a live version you're speaking of?

Chronicle: 20 Greatest HitsThat was the cassette tape, I was guessing about the length of Grapevine since I had the cassette in the 80’s. I recently bought the vinyl and Grapevine is 3:52.

Just tracked it down, Grapevine is the album version at 11:04. So, how about some live CCR official releases? I love the Fogerty part of 11-3-91 with GD as his backing band.

... if they made DaP27 a show adjacent to one of the box set shows? Say, 5/25/74 Santa Barbara, which is a great show despite no Other One/Dark Star? Sneaky pranksters.... Rationale: Apart from making September a 73/74-fest, they might predict that it would create more demand for the 73/74 box, since they've already done the initial push and some may be on the fence. Folks might get DaP27 and decide to pull the trigger on 6 more just like it. Yes you could argue it would cannibalize sales, but again the initial sales rush is over and now it's a matter of converting those who decided to pass on it for now. That would be something. That really would be something. Or Gainesville...

.... working on finding the groove. Trey looks like a ginger Joey Ramone. Seen it before, but a welcome sight. Been re-loving the recent JGB Hawaii release lately. And when I say lately, I mean now.

I know, isn't that just a bit too many toppings on the cake? That's howthey billed it. Friends were like, "is Dean going to play all Dead covers?" No. He didn't. Just drove home from there, hella fast with that remastered "Appetite" guiding my way. Living in a big city, well, semi-big (Denver), one knows how to get around. Cops have real crime to fight and they rarely give a shit about some white boy in a Hyundai with clear windows speeding five over and jamming the rock n' roll. The theater was just part of the local hype for the next two nights at Folsom Field. Last shows of the tour, folks. Dean Ween was uneven, but gave it the old college try as he does. We did a blaster for the road and high-tailed it out of there before the encore. We know folks there and got heavy pours and discounts all night. Buy $100 worth of booze, get charged $20, tip your bartender $80. Hey, I can play this game. I'm really looking forward to Friday and Saturday. The last shows of the tour in rock and roll, well, hard rock anyway, were always known for craziness and hi-jinks. We'll see what the geezers have up their sleeve. At least Sharon Osbourne isn't involved. Iron Maiden, anyone? God bless everyone. See you at Folsom! The weather shall be perfect.

Noticing that disc 4, has only 20 minutes of music listed. Wondering/hoping if/for a hidden track. I know they have placed a few hidden gems on previous releases. while not from the era , but area.Think its 6/12/80 with Scarlet>Fire from Portand would be nice. Mount St Helens erupts, or some Phil and Ned. seems like awhile from last DVD release.

There is a live CCR release, compiled from a European tour they did in 71. Its not titled 'Europe 71' but it should have been :) It has a nice jammy 13 min version of 'Keep on Chooglin'. I'm not sure what chooglin is exactly, but John Fogerty makes it sound like a lot of fun. Love CCR. Fogerty is one of the great rock n roll songwriters of all time.

Going with choice selections from DP 28 Feb '73. Great Cold Rain & Snow. Fantastic GSET, but the Louie Louie riff Phil plays before it starts drives me nuts every time. I always want them to play the whole song. Also has one of those slow slinky Loose Lucy's. And of course Dark Star. What's everyone else listening to? wissonomingdeadhead - I saw that you listed yes as your favorite studio album band. I'm a huge fan as well. I started buying those 5.1 surround sound Steve Wilson remasters, and they're fantastic. Tales From topographic oceans never sounded better than this. Of all their Studio records that one in its original pressing was always a little disappointing from a Sonic standpoint. It was as though I could never turn the treble up high enough to hear the drums well. Everything was just kind of muffled and muted or something. Not anymore! Did you also pick any of those up? Shirdeep - you seem to have a huge collection of old Grateful Dead pictures. Do you have any Keith pictures? Doing a Google search doesn't really get you too many of him.
