    "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 wonder if this box is big enough to fit all the other boxesthat sit on my shelf and collect dust? The art is SO COOL! I wouldn't mind having this one on display, I'm just not sure what should go in it (since I'm old-school, the cd's are going on my CD shelf)

    MUATM & THis bad ass box
    What fun last night at MAUTM! There weren't many of us and the volume was low at first, but got better by the middle of the 1st set. we stood up and hooped and hollered between songs and sang along w/ IKO when Jerry told us to ... I enjoyed it thoroughly being there with a few buddies, but I am wondering why they would choose something already released on DVD. I love the show and have the DVD but am hoping that next year we get something we haven't seen released officially ... and then they can release it after and we'll buy it up. Something from Summer '91 perhaps!? PS -pumped for this bad ass box! Sept is going to rock!!!!

    Box Set reveal
    The MUATM was very nice and seeing a happy Jerry interacting with Brent was sweet. There was about 20 people in the theater, all quiet for the show, but watching a show in deluxe lazy boy seats is so cool. thought we had missed the preview, but it came at the end AFTER the final credits and will probably be on this page soon as the Artist information clip. it was a short but interesting introduction to artist Roy Henry Vickers, who had the box in front of him as he described the idea behind it. it started with Dave, and he states that the artist is responsible for all the interior art. they might have showed the top cover taken off and the book is the top layer covering the contents, maybe a smaller wooden box that reminded me of the Warlocks box flashed by, but then went back to the artist. it is probably on youtube already and they just need to link it to this page, it's a standard seaside chat type clip. the box is a little smaller than the 30 Trips box, and won't fit on my shelves where it deserves to be, so it's off to the storage room after ripping. this should help move more copies as it looks really nice and they stuck to the outside, so no unpacking or reveal of the CD holders/digipacks. could be laminated card board or pressed sawdust, but from the outside it looks as sweet as the 72 steamer trunk.

    Butch Bird Song 1972
    You've picked a great song and a great time to chase it down in. This is probably one of my top five Grateful Dead songs. I like them all a lot. I think the Download Series one from July is my least favorite, only because I don't think it's quite as developed at that point (for example the opening chords aren't quite as sharply executed, and the jam section where Jerry solos is shorter). Veneta is hard to beat, because it's longest, it's multi-track sourced, and the playing is exceptional. DaP 11 is also up there with Veneta for me. That one came almost 3 months later and the playing is just so good from having performed it so much by that time. Jerry's solo at the 3 minute mark is divine. Just listen to how he begins it! And of course the three from 9/21 - 9/27 are all solid (Jerry's a wee bit lower in the mix at Waterbury / 30 Trips). I'm still digesting DaP 24. The enhanced bass production is distracting for me. Once in awhile I can tune it out or get the EQ just right. I can't overstate how much Bill the drummer brings to this song. He's all over it with the drum rolls and ride cymbal. And then of course he has his little drum fill during that brief instrumental break before they all come back in again. Legendary. I'm looking forward to the first officially released 1973 Bird Song, coming along on this PNW Box Set. I'm going with the Dark Star finale from Dick's Picks 16 this morning. Unbelievable how good Uncle John's Band Jam sounds. I used to cherry-pick this song out for mixes, but it's even better within the structure of the complete Dark Star.

    Watkins Glen redux, RFK & The Stones
    thanks for comments... striving to provide some feels like... we left the electric wild turkey with our new friends and neighbors, took over an hour to carefully wade out to the fringes, CKR was our code for Columbian Killer Reefer. Best thing available in Maine at the time. folks might not be aware that it is less than thirty miles between Watkins Glen and Cornell, each at the southern end of adjacent finger lakes talk about tripping reminded me of another event, will hop on the wayback machine ... a slightly out of control scene at my first Rolling Stones concert. Could have seen them in Baltimore in 1969 when my parents took my fourteen year old brothers ticket away from him after they figured out where he was headed, I said I would go, but in a perverse sense of fairness, they said if he can't go, we can't let you go either... Mom, Dad, its The Stones!!! Mother's little helper!! 17 at the time and would have driven there in a heartbeat. Get your Ya-yas out tour. So a quasi communal group of us dropped on our way down to RFK stadium on July 4, 1972 for Stevie Wonder and the Stones. Following the usual procedures, to enjoy and get the most of the experience, plan ahead for the right surroundings and people, have as much as possible set up for positive outcomes, a sober guide/monitor present if its a larger group. Not necessarily a large concert... We got in, found our seats, Stevie started to play but a lot of people weren't paying him much attention, he was back round for large scale craziness. Typical hot steamy DC late afternoon. What did get our attention was the tear gas trickling in from outside the stadium. Overly excited DC police were trying to stop people scaling the stadiums outside walls to get in free. Think about it, being up in the air over pavement, wall climbing and tear gassed, or inside admission paid and tripping and you get whiffs of tear gas. Whole sections of people got up and moved around to better air. Loud booing and jeering. DC police were pretty quick to use tear gas for crowd control back then, in the archives I have photos I took at Viet Nam antiwar demonstrations on the national mall and at the capital with smoking canisters flying every which way through the air. They herded demonstrators onto buses in those mass antiwar arrests and where did they take detainees for processing? Why RFK stadium of course. Fortunately the tear gas traces inside RFK that day were not horrific and passed quickly, the Stones eventually came out also at peak, Exile on Main Street tour, a great and long show and there were fireworks.... lots of fireworks

    So Jerry would have been 76 today, Happy Birthday, Jerry!We miss him to say the least. Actually this is one for the Jerry Garcia Archive.

Inspired B.) Uninspired C.) This show is releaseable in the official GarciaLive release series. D.) This show is unreleaseable because it sux. E.) B-b-b-boring. F.) What a little blotter will do to give the listener the thought, "this is the greatest Jerry show ever!" G.) It wasn't the greatest, but for my former tape trading partner, Paul M. from Wolcott, CT., he had a great time with his GF - who is now his wife. *My copy does not have the encore.

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.

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?
