    "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.

    Did You Feel Like Jesus
    Random distraction.. Against my usually correct instincts.. I got pulled into a pre-order for tickets the day I got my tax refund this last spring.. and scored two tickets to see Steely Dan in a quant vaudeville theatre in Pittsburg last night. I had this strange feeling that it just wouldn't be the same after the passing of Walter Becker.. but I pulled the trigger nonetheless. Had a great time.. they still have it. The last time I saw them, it was a 13 piece band with three backup singers, two guitarists (including Becker) and a four piece brass ensemble. This time, a 12 piece.. more or less the same but just one guitarist. It was bittersweet in that regard, I guess some cannot simply be replaced. (Did you feel like Jesus?) Did you realize That you were a champion in their eyes? Ending on a good note, they still have it.. and the tickets I scored (at non-scalper prices no less) were front row, stage left. There was a gap in the apparatus and we happened to be right where Fagan glanced when he was in thought and moving his head out of the light. Careful what you carry Cause the man is wise You are still an outlaw in their eyes I wouldn't say they were as good as the last time I saw them.. almost.. but it gets the five star approval rating. The sound in this tiny theatre was excellent and the boys were jamming with spirit. RIP Walter Becker. Ok.. back to your regularly scheduled banter, bickering, praise, disgust and generally spirited discussions.. Get Along... Get Along Kid Charlemagne. Or in the spirit of discourse that rears it's head from time to time. Get Off My Grass Kid Charlemagne.

    a nice response to our fellow heads' troubles:"Sorry to hear about all the problems with discs and box damage. I’ve never had a problem in my 7+ years of pavlovian dead.net purchasing." A response that ain't nice: "Quit bitching about your goddamn product malfunctions. Nobody cares, especially me - this forum is for pure entertainment...STFU. Talk about Motorhead, or something cool. We all deal with adversity. I run a company. Some of you are, simply - ridiculous whiners." Sorry about your bad day LedDed. Maybe you should sell that company before you get any worse. Try to take out your frustrations elsewhere so they don't feed the bad weather that chronically blows through here... My sympathies to all who have problems in their Dead-life. But more sympathy to those frustrated with their GDM experiences than to those frustrated with hearing about others troubles.

    I sent my request through the link in the confirmation email yesterday in regards to multiple cd issues with this release. Received response today that replacements are on the way.The cds are really thin cheap, need better quality control.... That said I don't buy all these releases mostly due I think they're total overkill, just give us the music. These shows should've been released individually cd/download. They typically listen to us I'm for less to no giant boxes but more individual non subscription, no limited edition, no dave's logo taking up space (not hating on dave), no horrible skeleton 'art', plain bootleg type releases. everyone gets so blinded by a little card with a number on it that they think gives these releases some additional worth. give us more releases from different years , maybe 5-7 a year with no promises no bonus disc you want it you buy it...I just think the subscription limited big box thing just needs to be mixed up a bit. and cool on judas priest and motorhead and this 73-74....dig

    Man, thanks for the reminder/tribute!. Entwistle was the finest bassist I ever saw live. I would put him against the great Jack Bruce, but, alas, I never saw Jack. I did see John Paul Jones. Another hero. Gene Simmons' bass lines are vastly underrated. He got a lot from McCartney, who stole James Jamerson. It just keeps on going. Sting and Adam Clayton are also awesome, as is Roger Glover. Quit bitching about your goddamn product malfunctions. Nobody cares, especially me - this forum is for pure entertainment. Address your concerns to the appropriate parties, the Dr, Marye, etc. The rest of the field remain powerless to help you as we are not staffing the Rhino warehouse. I have never had a shit experience purchasing product here. Sorry. If I did, I can't imagine it would enrich the forum or anyone's day to detail it here... "I talked to customer service in Indonesia and was hung up on and no one understands what a big baby I am, blah blah blah. My first world problems should call out the National Guard!" You are dreaming if you think the suits, or Dave, mine this treasure chest regularly to decide what to release, where to source out product, etc. STFU. Talk about Motorhead, or something cool. We all deal with adversity. I run a company. Some of you are, simply - ridiculous whiners.

    Replacement disc saga (and possible future release?!?)
    HI All- I wrote a while back about my experience in getting discs replaced. I am not going to repeat all of it other than summarizing what I think worked which was I kept up on them. It wasn't real easyas I had to email, wait for response, email again for update etc.. It took a few weeks but it worked out. It seems like some got their replacements faster, and some took longer than me and even some had no luck. It also sounds like there are various routes to take to get replacements. No doubt it's frustrating and stressful to have contend with this, at least it was for me. However I was damn well determined to persevere because I knew then rend result would be great music. Definitely quality control and customer service needs a little overhaul. I have to say that this was my first major issue like this and I somewhat disturbed...mainy for some future purchases. Now I am not really worried about Dave’s Picks but future boxes might be something I possibly hold off on to assess the quality level. I can see boxes that contain multiple shows (essentially many discs) might be prone to more quality issues. Basically there is just items to get screwed up. Then again if the box is from shows I really want, I don't think I will wait long to pull the trigger and buy it- who am I trying to fool? Now here is an interesting tidbit: When I went through this whole quest to get replacement discs it was basically a series of emails for communication/reporting/updating. Yet at one point in the process I did call customer services at Dead.net I knew this would likely be useless but might as well try right? After a short and yet nice conversation with the customer service rep, his basic advice was to email. At the very end he asked me few questions, like how long have liked the Dead, and then he asks what was my favorite show? Well I was calling from work so not only was a taken back by this question, I knew it wasn't an easy answer for me. but I quickly realized I was about to give this customer service rep my personal thesis. Rather than get potentially get written up or fired for a 30 minute stream of consciousness answer, I just blurted out 10/18/72. Now is a show I like that, the I listen too frequently and that is not released. I would certainly be a good one to have in my possession. So I don’t know could it be that this is some type of informal survey being conducted? Maybe the defective discs and non-linear process to get discs replaced are all in an effort to get frustrated customers to call in so that we can give direct input to future releases? I know this sounds like a twisted Willy Wonka golden ticket ploy. Or it could be aliens. In all reality this customer service rep was trying to be kind, but it is fun to ponder the “what if”. Seriously though, I do hope everyone gets their replacement discs because this release is just so good. Anyone who is thinking about giving up don’t. OH and I might as well make Dave’s Picks 28 prediction: yeah 10/18/72. Might as well try right?

    CD issues
    Finally made it through all of my discs and although many of them have large scratch and scuffs only one skipped and after a clean seems ok. I agree the quality control is lacking. I honestly feel my scratched discs should be replaced, I just don't want to go through the process. My GSTL box had several skipping discs as well, but all were replaced. If you buy a new anything, and there is a scratch on it, will one not return said item for an unblemished one? Personally I've been in manufacturing for over 25 years and my customers would pull contracts for reoccurring issues like this. Damage in shipping is a seperate issue. All my discs where secured in their holders so any scratch scuffs happened at point of manufacture/ packaging. But even with that said, we all choose to continually purchase these items knowing about past production issues. I hope everyone gets replacements asap. It just seems like any purchases from here should be treated with a "Caveat emptor" attitude.

Have you heard their 'Nomad' series? 4 individual self-releases all worthy of adding to your collection should you be inclined. They have a box set of the series (actually the size of GD's 'Ladies & Gentlemen'...) with a 5th CD of bonus tracks/outtakes.

Yes Strider, that wind before the ABQ show was crazy. Never had a wind delay before, and it really made a mess of the entrance. Was just walking through the gates when Halfstep started and made it to our seats just in time for across the rio grandio. My wife was wowed by Meyer and how he fit with the group. She was not wowed with how they slowed down Johnny B Good compared to the old days ("That must have been Bobby's decision" she said, "John should have taken over like he did on Uncle John's Band"). Was pretty confident they would open with Halfstep about a mile from the rio, having looked at the last 6 show lists, it was one of the best choices not played recently to open and boy did it fit the locale. Good show, but not as good as either of last years shows I saw in Boulder (I think, about the same as the first night).

Appreciate the shout-outs for my recollection of my first show in 1974 (several pages back). That era of the Dead is so tasty, the band was so agile, and they were definitely firing on all engines. Keith's jazz leanings with his ragtime and swing were so fully realized with the band by this point. Since Mickey was gone and Billy fully took charge on drums, this left Keith with so much 'space' to punctuate and also counterpoint sonically with Jerry. Over the years we have seen how Jerry's response to those keyboard players provided such soaring jams, and the Keith era shares this hallowed ground. Bobby and Phil were game to follow (and lead) in this configuration of the Dead who reached deeply into their bag of tricks to delight and astound us nightly. While each line-up/era of the Dead is unique, (there really is no debate there) the Keith-era was/is a revelation. Thanks to my bizzaro-alter ego Oroborous (Oroboros with a U) for reminding me to share my story, and I echo his sentiment that these 'road tales' are great fun to share. Your posts give me a taste of a show and era I attended (or maybe missed out on). I am greatly appreciative of you heads after my avid touring slowed (once my children arrived in the early 80's) to 1 or 2 shows per year. You all stepped up to keep the circus on the road for us all, and that was key! Also quite enjoy the discussion of other bands (CSNY, Neil, CCR, etc.) whom I know and some others (Cowboy Junkies, etc.) I need to become more familiar with. Many props, brothers and sisters, keep the dialogue rolling and "at least I'll enjoy the ride". Teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself.

a few months ago I predicted 5/25/74 would be a DaP this year. It would be an "adjacent" show, like Thin hinted at. I place my bets on 5/25/74. 10 gold dollars on 5/25/74 to win

I got Happy Trails on vinyl at an estate sale a few years back. tried it a few times, but it didn't do anything for me. I gave it a listen or two on vinyl recently (and is playing on youtube as I post). Pretty all right. a lysergic state of mind would probably help make it _awesome_ magnificent cover art

5/25/74 would be a great pick! My memory of listening to it is very well played with a lot of energy. It could use an upgrade compared to what's in circulation. The most recent pure soundboard of it on archive.org is an extremely ancient shnid of 2635. There is a more recent matrix that uses 2635. Hope 27 is 5/25.

So my prediction is the same as many of you: 12/1/79. I have been listening to a lot of shows from 79 recently and this is one I am familiar with. I love the show so it would be cool if it was released. However I also like the 11/30/79 show from the night before so I would be a little bummed out if I didn't get both. Really though, I am going to be happy with whatever is released. With this Pacific Northwest box set coming out, the AOTS release on the way, and Real Gone Music re-releasing the Road Trips I am about to explode with joy. I skipped on some of the Road Trips so getting a chance to get those is great. The AOTS has the 67 show ,on the bonus disc, we are getting 6 complete shoes from this new box set so I it doesn't get much better than this. Yet it did because DaP 27 is looming. Good times!

Rarely a prediction, most always a wish list. I wished for a Summer '73 box and got a piece of it on this upcoming box. On 30 Trips I wished for one show from each year, 1966-1975, and that was enough to pay for the whole enchilada. So, mere coincidence and I feel clairvoyant -- typical male... Okay, that said, I predict that deference to the tape stash enabled by ABCD Enterprises, DaP 27 will be in the 1971-1980 range. Over 2017-2018 we've rec'd some pretty sweet pickings. In my early years catching shows (1972-73) and in the DP and DaP release era, I'm a pre-hiatus man, though I caught several dozen shows in '76-'92. To review the past 6 releases: DaP 21: Ap '73, Boston DaP 22: Dec '71, NYC DaP 23: Jan '78, Eugene DaP 24: Aug '72, Berkeley DaP 25: Nov '77, Binghamton DaP 26: Nov '71, Albuquerque; Dec '71 Ann Arbor I did catch a lot of hot shows in 1976-1981, but the hottest shows I recall were Aug 12-13 1979, one at the Rocks, the other at McNichols shed in Denver. So I'm putting my money on a 1979 release to be announced on Monday. But I'd be mighty pleased if it was fall '72.

I am sticking with my 8-10-82 pick. I know it is a long shot but it is a very good show. 10-10-82 May be more likely. Pretty sure that has a Sugaree as the second song. Super excited for whatever it is!

I'm going with 12.1.79 too. This was my favorite show for like the entire year of 1996. Then the cassette got stuck in my girlfriends car tape player, and it played over, and over, and over. To this day my then girlfriend (now wife) cannot stand He's Gone because of that. Which by the way, is probably the best version of that song out there, as well as the Sugaree. Overall a great tour as Jerry showed the new kid the ropes, lots of jams and interplay all tour long. In fact, I would say this is the 2nd best tour of all the Brent years behind Spring of '90 of course. Anyway, can't wait to find out on Monday!

Having listened to the Winterland 1973 box set recently, followed by the next show they played, 14th November, I'd like to see a show from December 1973 as the next Dave Picks. There hasn't been one from this end of the year since DP5. Listening as I have been, it seems that shows from the end of 1973 might just have been the pinnacle of the year, in terms of great playing. It would also form a nice bridge between the summers of 1973 and 1974 included in the box.

Posted a while back about them during The Who vs. The Doors debate. Very cool band. One of Canadaland's finest. Have seen them four times. Got to meet Margo after one show and talked for about 15 minutes. Mostly about the Maple Leafs. Awesome lady. Down to earth. Probably my favorite female vocalist along with Emmylou Harris. Sultry voice. Not sure I would enjoy a rowdy crowd. Wrong kind of band for that.

March 9, 1981...... or 7-10-81 if Sugaree is indeed the 2nd song.

I've always loved this album, since first getting it round about 1973. It has one of the best electric guitar sounds ever recorded, and as a whole I would say it is in the same class as "Anthem " and Jefferson Airplanes "Bathing at Baxters". The first Quicksilver albums pretty good, too. There are loads of poor quality Quicksilver live albums available now-but one that's definitely worth getting was recorded at The Fillmore June 7th 1968. The best sound quality of this music, according to reviewers, is released on a cd named just that-although I've got it on "Lost and Found: The Unreleased Quicksilver", where it is pared with unreleased studio recordings from 1967, and the vinyl "Maiden of the Cancer Moon" that came out in England in 1984. It features material from the first and "Happy Trails" but its played with a lot more fire power. The mix isn't always the best-Gary Duncan's rhythm is often louder than John Cipollina's lead-but its an amazing concert.

The wife and I go to every CJ show we can possibly get to. We've been going to shows since the mid-90s. I don't know how many shows we've seen but I'm guessing over 50. Seeing two shows next week. Their new CD arrived in the mail today. So far, it sounds like a good one but IMHO The Junkies are best consumed live. Margo is pushing 60 but her voice is utterly amazing. Catch a show if you can.

Keith Fan, I wholeheartedly endorse the release of 12/30/69. However, 12/31 is also a monster show in its own right and will take no back seat to chocolate babka. I would much desire to see both shows released; maybe a mini box? Throw in 12/29 as the kicker to round out the party. Have a safe and wonderful weekend all. Sam T

4/5/69 with filler from BOTH 4/4 & 4/6!!!! That would be something. Honestly I'm still sticking with 12/1/79, bring it on Dave we are so ready.

Of course, Dark Star and The Other One are always 1 and 1a of the big jams. But Eyes, man. Are there any Eyes that aren't delicious jams too? Been watching a DVD of 7-8-90 from Three Rivers. Great Eyes jam early 2nd set. It might not be one of the all-time greats. Maybe not top 100. But its still so good. That's just Eyes, man. Eyes can't help but to shine. What, of course I'm totally sober, why do you ask?
