    "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.

    '80's Dead
    I dig '80' Dead, it's just another chapter in the book. Things can change with age and still be good. For example, I find that the ageing of Jerry's voice makes some of the later era versions of Black Peter just that much more poignant, and some of the '80-'90's drums-space sequences were awesome vehicles for some improvisational jamming and wicked transitions from space into whatever came next. And yes, relatively speaking, the Dead were the best game in town in the '80's, a decade in which there seemed little to excite me musically. As far as the parking lot scene, I dug that too - who doesn't like a big, mellow, party before a show? There did seem to be a little more of a frenzy about the scene later, but I attribute that to the increasing difficulty in getting tickets due to the increase in demand, and perhaps a lack of discretion amongst some of the eager partier's in the parking lot. Really the only show that I left disappointed was a '94 show at the Meadowlands in NJ, that one I left bummed. On another note, deadnet can't seem to decide if I'm a robot or not - took me like 3 tries to get that captcha to work.

    It's a matter of taste
    To me the Dead were all about the free form, experimental, jam music.At one time Garcia was the greatest improvisational guitarist. He just couldn't keep that up as the years went by and he got caught up in hard drugs, due to keeping the Dead going. Some people like the "songs". They are okay as filler to me, but it's his jams that I wanted to hear. Even the jams later on became kind of rote. I'm all into things like disk 2 of Dick's Pick's #8, to give you the best example. That is the greatest Dead ever, and they never lived up to that again. As I've said before, I wished they had quit after 1977 and Jerry could do solo stuff and maybe lived longer. He died trying to keep the Dead machine alive because he was employing too many friends and didn't want to quit on them. Anyway, I'll stop. To each their own.

    I listen too.
    First of all, I completely respect your opinion. At the shows, I also listened intently to all the players, how they interacted, and especially Jerry's solo's and his singing. I surrounded myself on the floor with 20 friends who were all silently listening and enjoying song after song. The band continually changed, adding new songs, changing older ones, reworking their sound, and the 80's versions of the band were different than the 70's and 60's, and clearly not your cup of tea. I respect that. Perhaps they were still musically interesting to the careful listener, like myself, even in the 80's and 90's. I appreciated all the versions, and listened to each one.

    Mediocre in the '80's, yes
    A rare person will agree with me, so let's just say to each their own."bopping, dancing, swirling"...so what? It's easy to dance to any music with a beat. I listen INTENTLY to every note of the music - Jerry's guitar and how the band interacts musically. Not just the "funnestness" of it! LOL! Is that a word? Compared to their earlier music, they were truly mediocre in the later years. I compare them to their own best music, not to what else is out there at the time. It would not be hard to beat what was happening musically in those later years, but they could not compare to what they themselves did earlier. And by the way, MTV destroyed music. When they came onto to scene, music became showmanship and true music was lost. "I will admit Jerry was AWOL a little in the latter 90's" Yeah, he was dead.

    Mediocre???
    I saw the dead regularly in the 70's 80's and 90's right to the end in '95, and they were rarely mediocre. I will admit Jerry was AWOL a little in the latter 90's. But musically show after show, run after run, they were guaranteed to be the funnest, best shows in town, over and over again. All those shows I attended people everywhere around me were bopping, dancing, swirling around if there was room. Clearly people enjoying the music. They grew and grew in popularity due to their allowing tape recording of their shows, massive tape trading, and a reputation for great shows. Then along came MTV's "Day of the Dead", and "In The Dark" with their radio hit "Touch of Grey", and that bumped their attendance up a lot. Some would say too much, as they began losing some of their coolest venues. That is the true downside of their growing popularity, the parking lot scene got way out of hand, and even when the show was happening inside, there was a huge group of folks outside who just came for the parking lot party. Mediocre? Hardly.

    compared to any other live shows in the 80s there were few bands worth seeing more than once a tour as most popular bands played the same exact show every night for the whole tour. now most of the SBD recordings of that time are flawed and because of the nature of the mix the flaws become accentuated, but a good AUD allows you to hear what the people in the concert heard and it is not as bad as the SBD tapes make it seem.

    Almost through...and a funny story
    I'm almost through the first complete chronological listen. I'm up to the massive Seattle 74 Playin', scheduled for tonight's listen. Wonderful sound overall. On first listen the 73 Vancouver has a better mix than the other two 73's. The 74's sound better than the 73's. I chalk that up to their perfecting the Wall configuration(s) in 73. True also the first sets have many repeated songs, but they are played so well! Every show has really strong jazzy jams that were the hallmark of 73-74. Most of the shows have a strong Bobby presence, which I really love. I love to hear the awesome wierd imaginative chords he plays. However, I'm listening to Seattle 74, and he seems lost in the mix, kinda there, but not prominent. Funny thing happened on the way home with my box. My box was delivered to work. I was on the train coming home with the box on my lap, and a guy sitting across from me was eyeing the box and said: "Pardon me, is that a box of smoked salmon?"

    You are probably right about most of your post.But one issue I'll never change my opinion about: the Dead were mediocre in the '80's and into the '90's (a great show was rare) and that is when their popularity soared.

    Re: MORE popular as their music became worse
    Not so sure about that.. I saw a ton of live music during this period.. not just the GD. Seeing a better live act in the 80's than the boys was an elusive task, comparatively they still delivered night after night. If I accept the premise that they had declined (I'd prefer to sidestep that controversy altogether).. Bands that performed better in this era were few and far between. Might I say.. they were still kick ass and if care and attention went into recording shows, I bet opinions would shift too. Their numbers grew gradually, over the years. The term 'on the bus' is exactly correct.. As for the parking lot/zoo scene, I think that's a separate issue than the music.. but I still believe the whole scene was 90%+ about the music. I wouldn't bang on fourwinds for what is clearly word choice and semantics. I think there's a quote from Jerry in Long Strange Trip where he admits he used to sabotage their success. I see this issue as one where there is truth on both sides and reality meets somewhere in the middle. Jerry was a serious musician, Mountain Girl is quick to point out how much he practices and what a professional musician he was, especially in the early years.. up very early every day practicing scales and working out problems. Anyway.. If I had the crystal ball of truth, I bet you two aren't as far apart as it appears and from afar, you both have points..

    Dude, you misunderstood Jerry
    He was a VERY serious musician and the quality of his music mattered a GREAT DEAL to him.He was super bummed when they played bad. Maybe your attitude explains something I never totally understood: why the Dead became MORE popular as their music became worse and worse. The masses don't have the ear to hear what's good or bad. They just liked the "scene" and the music was unimportant.

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.

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.

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?
