    "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.

    Glad to tell tales on myself...
    Funny, I still remember key details like the pink shirt with white polka dots I wore at the show. The afternoon ABB show was killer. Then the afternoon thunderstorm that drenched everyone while The Band played, stopped and finished their set with the lights on. Our idyllic little encampment from the Friday night soundcheck was a sordid pit of mud and abandoned blankets. A day and a half of boogeying on our feet, tripping massively, awash in loud rock 'n roll... Is it any wonder that I was done with festivals for the rest of my life? Even Englishtown's 100,000 was a bit too much at the time. Still, great show! There is no question that the event and other GD shows that summer and fall altered my trajectory. I began backpacking solo in the Adirondacks in NY state (black bear country), did the Green Mtns in Vermont, White Mtns in New Hampshire (almost killed in bad weather on Mt. Washington, where little crosses on the mountain say, "Joe Blow last seen near this area"; not "Joe Blow died here," but "last seen near this area" and the date would be years earlier, so obviously no one was waiting for Joe to show back up again). Then the big trip, thumbing from East Coast to West Coast and back in '74, turning 17 on the road -- of course, I thought I was a big boy by then. My poor folks, no cell phones and I was gone for months. Missed the GD that summer and ended up in San Franciso, walking past the Mars Hotel (LP had been out in July/Aug) trying to sell a cheap watch for food (succeeded). Heard about the October shows, but had nothing, no money, no friends in the area, nothing to do but hitch home and ... go to freakin' high school(!). That didn't go well. I got stories. And now, about to turn 61, and still doing the solo backcountry for the past 32 years in the high desert of NW Colo / NE Utah. Pretty alienated at times from ordinary life but still catching shows -- last night at Red Rocks: Tedeschi-Trucks band (back tonight, yea!). And the boomers remain my medicine a handful of times per year. Keeps me on track and has for 46 years. Puts me closer to rock and sky, though I've lowered the dose as I aged. Just don't require as much to get the inner synch going with the universe. Cheers! Maybe tonight Susan will sing Sugaree.............

    LET ME SING YOUR BLUES AWAY
    Lyrics By: Robert Hunter Music By: Keith Godchaux Well hop in the hack, turn on the key Pop in the clutch let the wheel roll free Not a cloud in the sky, such a sunny day Push in the button let the top ten play Come on honey, let me sing 'em away Come on honey, let me sing 'em away Oh, honey, let me sing your blues away. Give me a little of that old time love 'Cause I ain't never had near enough Honey, walk that walk With style and grace This ain't no knock-down, drag-out race. It doesn't matter much, pick any gear Grind you a pound and drop the rear Baby, baby, what can I say I'm here to drive those blues away. I sent a letter to a man I know Said one for the money and two for the show I wait all summer for his reply Said three to get ready and four to fly. Only two things in this world I love That's rock and roll and my turtle dove. When I was a young man, I needed good luck But I'm a little bit older now and I know my stuff. Come on honey let me sing 'em away Come on honey let me sing 'em away Oh honey let me sing your blues away

    Watkins Glen vs. Led Zeppelin
    Unfortunately I could not attend the Glen since I was at MSG in NYC to see Led Zeppelin that night! This was the 2nd night of a 3 night run that was filmed and became the movie The Song Remains The Same. This was the famous n8ght that the hotel safe was burglarized and the band "claimed" to have lost $150K. (In today's dollars that is more like one million). Mystery still surrounds that whole thing. Never trust Peter Grant! His only allegiance was to LZ. All week leading up to the show we were worried about rumors that LZ was going to blow off the Garden and go to the Glen. Thank goodness that did not happen! LZ was loud and phenomenal. I will never forget Page prancing around the stage in his black outfit with the embroidered dragons and such. Plus, we had just seen the ABB at the Garden on the Sat. night before the Glen! Talk about a wealth of musical riches. I had seen my first Dead show in Buffalo, 4 months earlier. 3/31 to be exact. A show that is sandwiched nicely between DaP16, 3/28 in Springfield, and DaP21, 4/2 Boston Garden. (I just finished up listening DaP16 and am now listening to DaP21) I am always hoping for its release but I doubt that will come to pass. I finished up the first disc of DaP27 and it cranks. Jerry is getting it done there for sure! Rock on

    And... now... for something... completely different: If you like a high energy, well played later 80's show that was broadcast on the FM way back, here's March 31st, 1987 Grateful Dead at The Spectrum in Philadelphia Pa., on the area's leading rock broadcaster at the time, WMMR, 93.3 FM, here is a recording of that broadcast: https://archive.org/details/gd1987-03-31.fm.braverman.7357.shnf/gd87-03… In my opinion, it would be a good addition to the current Dave's Picks Series

    Hendrixfreak,Thank you very much for your great stories of RFK & Watkins Glen! You're not going to win the Pulitzer Prize for Literature for them, perhaps only just the "Golden Bong Prize" from High Times. A+ My 1st rock concert and 1st GD show was 6/10/73, I was a sweet 16 going on 17. I don't remember too much other than it was very hot and humid. We were in the lowest part of the stands and and looking right we could see the stage. Looking directly straight we saw the soundboard/PA and lighting control "island." Just smoking some grass was involved in that event. We were unable to go to Watkins Glen later that July. Again, I deeply appreciate your stories of RFK & Watkins Glen.

    Thanks HendrixFreak & DMCVT
    I was eleven in '73 and at sleepaway camp in the Catskills. I knew of the Dead through the bootleg tapes (TDK SA-90) our counselors played nonstop. Those two classic B&W posters of the band in front of Mickeys barn and the one of Garcia in his skeleton jacket was in almost every bunk. It provided the roots to an education, adventure, life philosophy that continues today. I recall hearing the words "Watkins Glen" so often that summer from the counselors that went to the show and knew something great had gone down and lived on those stories all summer. Hendrixfreak & DMCVT's posts bring me right back to those amazing days. The photos are excellent, from the dedhed fashions to the flip top beers, the cars, the lack of merchandise.... I loved looking at every detail in the photos, makes the listening experience even greater. Now 56 sitting in my dedhed themed cabana on the Jersey shore, Im grateful for your posts as all my listening today will consist of only those three bands.

Thanks Vguy!What can I say?...I'm a Weener. Ha! I saw the first comment on youtube…"Ya WEEN some,ya lose some...it's all the same to me..." :o) Deaner & his band played here 2 or 3 nights ago. Didn't go see 'em. Don't know why. Heard they did a killer Stella Blue. Got word tonight that Deaners bass player is filling in with JRAD tonight at Grand Targhee. Whoops...

Mr. Straw, I was just going with the flow, because Vguy said he just got wood at the suggestion of this great show from 12/30/69. Some people might say your intolerance of a woman saying the exact same comment from a woman, but not a man is sexist. Lucky for you politics bore me and I don't hold a grudge :) And also a half dozen people PM'd me to say your basically a cranky old man and that I should just ignore it. I don't know about the old man part, but you sure are a cranky one:) Make you a deal. I'm just going to be me, and you can ignore it. And now back to our regularly scheduled programming!! KeithFan I visited that very show on archive.org, but unfortunately it doesn't sound so good. Is there a good copy floating about?

I have openly admiited many times to being a curmudgeon. Thank you for you and your friends for agreeing. Just not sure why six people would feel compelled to PM as such. Boredom I suppose. For what it is worth, I posted the current photo for your benefit. Enjoy. Agreed. Politics and religion have no place on this site. Your innuendos were quite funny the first few times. They just grow tiresome. There are better websites for that, I am sure.

That is a killer set list, and I like the bonus track filler too. If they had good tapes of that. Woohoo, honestly that would be a hugely popular Dave's Pick. Also not tired of your speaking mannerisms Hippychic, you're welcome here. This place features locker room talk all the time, and really, I laughed my ass off about that comment the day when that dude said oragel, and you said what you said. I chortled. Keep being you. Hell, it ain't like you even post here that much.

Did somebody say Cumberland Blues? Must have been VGuy.. First.. wishing a glorious Saturday to you all. It's sunny and hot here in the mid-Atlantic hill country, water sports are in the agenda. I received my Anthem of the Sun 50th yesterday. If you are still waiting.. I think you will be impressed with the 3-D, trippy take on the original multi-headed Buddha. It's way cool. I won't get a chance to check out the 67 show just yet, but it's on the agenda. Happy day.. if for no other reason than I just got a new, very special CD. Second.. I somehow lost a device recently.. which is a shame because it was a 160G iPod classic and they don't make em anymore. So I grabbed one of my newer devices and it magically landed on 3/28/73 Springfield, so I am starting my day on a sunny, hot bike ride.. all geared up and getting to roll it with Cumberland>Here Comes Sunshine. A glorious start to what promises to be a glorious day. As to diatribe from yesterday, it was Friday the 13th.. let's just chalk it up as a little harmless leftover from a play of unlucky numbers. Have a good one all.. Anthem of the Sun, still my favorite GD album.. in the words of Robert Hunter, "What a daring record"

I'm hearing a lot of his stuff for the first time the past few days. Low, Lodger, the man who sold the world (album), Diamond Dogs (album) always liked Bowie, but limited myself to Ziggy Stardust, Scary Monsters, and Heroes, plus a lot of the singles from over the years (Fame...an old auditory friend). will be hearing AOTS re-issue today. :))) Happy Saturday, everyone.

My guess is that it will be 3/22/73.I know, I know, too close to the box set dates, right? But remember, 11/6/77 was released not all that long after the Cornell box. The 3/22/73 show: 1) Generates more potential interest in the Pacific NW box. 2) Has Sugaree in the second song slot. 3) Took place in Utica, NY, where there was a "recent alien sighting" (Google Utica aliens). 4) Is a Betty Board. Also, there hasn't been a '73 Dave's Pick since Vol. 21 from 4/2/73. Might seem recent to some, but that was a year and a half ago. Dave likes this era. It's a good possibility. We'll all know on Monday...

I was just in Berlin and made it a point to seek out Hansa Studios where Bowie recorded Heroes and Low. Also found his apartment where he wrote these two as well as Lodger. I love Heroes. It’s a great song. Overall, not my favorite period of his, but seeing how I was in Berlin it was a must do. Pretty much all of his early stuff is great. Must have for all rock ‘n’ rollers. Obviously I’m a bit biased. My avatar probably gives that away. “We could be heroes, if just for one day. “

Don't I wish..."Bolo24" got IT! Alligator Alley Gym University Of Florida Gainesville, FL, USA Set 1: Alabama Getaway Promised Land Candyman New Minglewood Blues Row Jimmy Mama Tried Mexicali Blues Althea Lost Sailor> Saint Of Circumstance Don't Ease Me In Set 2: Shakedown Street> Franklin's Tower> Estimated Prophet> He's Gone> Truckin'> Drums> The Other One> Stella Blue Good Lovin' Encore: Casey Jones Edits from reviews of this show: I was living in St.Augustine, FL, at the time & had heard that The Boys were coming to Gainesville, a mere hour+ ride from the First City. So, like the other guy said, I ran - I didn't walk - to the nearest ticket vendor! It was a great show. I was familiar w/ many of the songs in the Dead's playlist by the fall of 1980. I had become familiar w/ the band around the time of Blues For Allah and Terrapin Station and, after the release of Shakedown Street, the band was summarily thrust into the national spotlight w/ the major smashing success of the title track. They wouldn't see that kind of radio play again until the release of the After Dark album when the believably-unpopular tune, Touch of Grey, thrust our Bay Area Boys into the international limelight once again! Anyway, I've become VERY familiar w/ the set list since this `80 show and had taken in numerous shows by the time August of 1995 rolled around. I've also watched other incarnations like The Other Ones, Phil & Friends & now The Dead w/ great delight & renewed enthusiasm. It's does the heart good to see the music surviving so long after it first commenced in 1965. I guess, truly, The Music Never Stopped, eh?! Anyway, this UF show is a great settie: there are definitely better, there are also certainly worse. But, it will always be a special settie to me `cause it was the night I popped my Grateful Dead cherry, so to speak! Well, as Pierre Robert from 93.3FM/WMMR in Philly was always fond of saying ... "may God Bless the Grateful Dead." Oh, and ... GO `GATORS!!! -------- Yeah, the second set has some good stuff... but I wouldn't say it was mind-blowing. For example, the transition from Shakedown to Franklin's was sloppy. -Anonymous ---- Went to this show as a freshman at UF. Remember being in an nice altered state waiting to get inside and a bus full of Hare Krishna unloaded in front and they started their own jam session. I had never seem Krishna before and just watching them jam was a fun diversion. Anyone else remember that? The place only held about 10k and the bleachers were shanking. "Double shot of whiskey and those Gainesville girls start looking good" ---- Thanks, "Dr. G" for the heads-up on this one!

stoltzfus - That cracked me up! On a side note, I have been in a laid back Dead mood as of late....something from 1976 would be welcome. Plus, admittedly, I don't have a lot from '76. Or Gainesville.

PHISH, SUNDAY 07/14/1991 TOWNSHEND FAMILY PARK Townshend, VT SET 1: Reba, Llama, The Squirming Coil > Golgi Apparatus, Guelah Papyrus, My Sweet One, Colonel Forbin's Ascent > Fly Famous Mockingbird > The Sloth, I Didn't Know[1] > Possum[2] SET 2: Suzy Greenberg[3], Caravan[3] > Divided Sky[3], Gumbo[3] > Dinner and a Movie[3] > Bouncing Around the Room, Split Open and Melt[3], Magilla[3] > Cavern[3] > Run Like an Antelope[3] SET 3: AC/DC Bag[3] > The Landlady[3], Esther > Chalk Dust Torture, Bathtub Gin[3], Mike's Song[3] > I Am Hydrogen[3] > Weekapaug Groove[3], Hold Your Head Up[3] > Touch Me[4], Harry Hood ENCORE: Contact[3] > Big Black Furry Creature from Mars[3] [1] Fish on trombone. [2] Charlie Chan and Oom Pa Pa signals. [3] Giant Country Horns. [4] Giant Country Horns and Fish on trombone. This show featured The Giant Country Horns for all of the second set except for Bouncing, all of the third set except for Esther, Chalk Dust, and Hood, and for the encore. The show began with a humorous announcement from Trey that he felt “overdressed” during National Nudist Week. My Sweet One included a tease of the Bonanza theme and Magilla included a Flintstones theme tease. I Didn't Know, in which Fish was introduced as "Hank," and Touch Me featured Fish on trombone. Possum included Charlie Chan and Oom Pa Pa signals as well as a Dave’s Energy Guide tease, while Weekapaug included more DEG teases. Trey introduced the Giant Country Horns at the end of Antelope and during BBFCFM. There was a long wait during HYHU for Fish, who was apparently in the bathroom. Hood included full-band Jeopardy! theme teases. This show ran much longer than scheduled (at one point, when Trey noted that they should wind up the show, a fan urged the band to “fuck the clock”), prompting Trey to beg the crowd to leave in a timely and orderly fashion after the encore.

That's a great set List.Been Watching all week. Boy did things go bonkers. I must say can't believe the amount of Phish shows that have showed up lately. I like it and as a fan of both bands(Phish brought me to The Dead and I haven't looked back.) The argument about bands best of types is awesome. I like the Beatles answer on studio but because I'm a lot younger with a love of all music I say studio albums of Nine Inch Nails is up there too. Trent was a 1 man band for a lot of years only using other people on the road. I forgot the other 2 parts but I remember some of the answers and it's good conversations. DA27 IMHO will come from 69-74. It just feels right.Good thing is I don't care what show it will be. There's beauty in all eras and I'm glad I can own it. Vguy: What's Green and smells like pig? Kermit's finger. Keep the jokes coming buddy It's been a crazy week but some great stories. Thanks to everybody be well Dave

my first show with them was here in Seattle at a place called the Backstage in Ballard (a neighborhood). sometime in 1991. they were cool enough, but I thought the trampolines were kind of lame. I also saw a show there with Ray Manzarek/Michael McClure/Allen Ginsberg some time later. It eventually got converted into a health club. whee.

I was into them in high school..now I can only listen to their instrumentals, lyrics drive me nuts like many jam bands.. give me Hunter words anytime. Not to mention many of their fans are so fucking annoying.. as are many Dead fans I realize but something about Phish. As for Dave's Picks, I am hoping the announcement will be 2/26/77

That was a good once Stoltzie. Made me laugh like this one always gets me. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8X_Ot0k4XJc Hippychic, I have a copy, but it really doesn't sound that good. There are channel dropouts galore, and even when that's not happening, it sounds like there's a lot of flutter and wow, and just generally bad fidelity. If you still want it PM me. Jimbo enjoy Dave's Picks 16 on your ride, I really love that Cumberland Blues a lot. The audio dropout during Jerry's solo hurts me deeply, but it picks up about halfway through, so it's not a total loss. I was listening to the Dark Star, Eyes of the World, Playing in the Band the other night, and that really is an awesome disc 3. I don't know about you guys but there are a few songs that fit perfectly with a nice sunny day while driving: Sugar Magnolia, Bird Song, and of course Here Comes Sunshine. Oh, and the Jam from Ladies & Gentlemen - best Jam ever?

1. I agree It's really surprising of recent Live Content on Phish. Since the Steamer there hasn't been this much posting on them. It doesn't bother me but it is strange.2. My first show was Burgesstowm, PA 2003. I was evolving in my music tastes and bringing in music I knew I'd like. from the advice from someone it lead to my purchasing of So Many Roads at my local Circuit City for roughly 58$. I was blown away. I missed a lot of stuff(Really want a F69 box.) and Started my journey when I received the Steamer. I became a collector after I put those shows in Jewel cases. I'm pretty much straight edge but these's releases along with the Dave's series is a drug. I purchase random shows from Phish but I purchase every Box and subscribe every year for Dave's. It's a crazy debate

To me the albums he made from Space Oddity to Alladin Sane are incredible. David Bowie and the Spiders were the second concert I went to (the first was T.Rex) as fresh faced 15 year old in 1972. As such it had an enormous impact on me. I went off his albums after 1973, although the Berlin trio brought me back again-especially Low and Heroes. After that-apart from the single Ashes to Ashes, me and David Bowie parted company for good. But those studio albums between 1969 and 1973-they still sound great to me and I still play each of them at least once every year. The two box sets chronicling these albums are worth getting-although there is a lot of duplication in the one featuring the Berlin albums. Two versions of Lodger and Stages are not needed. One thing that hasn't lasted so well with me are his live albums. I have got most of them from the 1970s-but not one of them, in my opinion , can hold a candle to the studio albums from the same period. He was great to SEE live-but the albums don't work so well. An example of the difference between a live concert, and a live recording.

After I finally listened to Black Star I went back and I agree. Those shows must have been awesome.

....that statement was directed to the snake I found in backyard. My sense of humor is an aquired taste, I guess.

Love the Ziggy Stardust DVD and Santa Monica 10-20-72 CD.As usual, I prefer live over studio. Need more old live stuff.

I always make it sound like it's a chore to go out and get the groceries. Are you sure you don't mind? No I don't mind you stay home enjoy yourself... And I crank the ever-loving s*** out of the car radio and put on something like this kick ass bonus disc from road trips 2011, specifically the China cats sunrider, which is now Dark Star. Add another couple songs to the sunny day drive list. Really are there any bad ones. Probably not. Last year. The August Dave's Picks 23 was not announced until the 24th of July. Still have at least a week.

....is apparently a comic book fan. Tired of all the superhero movies being pumped out the last decade or so? I'm not. I'm also not tired of grilled shrimp. Don't be bashful with the garlic.Charlie3 with the edgy joke. I chuckled....I also chuckled a lot reading Barlow's book. Down to the last fifty pages. King and HST await in the shadows. I can't read fast enough!

Maybe I've just played them too much. Another good one is the double Bowie at The Beeb, which covers really early songs, from 1967, up to 1972. It seems apparent to me also, listening now, that Bowie and The Spiders didn't play together for very long-or very often. Some of the meat and potatoes rock bands of the era, who had been around a bit longer-like Mott The Hoople-sound more powerful to me than The Spiders. One of the best Bowie live albums is from 1976-on the Station to Station tour. That's the opposite to his early 70s stuff to me-the live album works better than the studio Station. Seriously funky.

they change origins, they completely change the race of a character(to get a certain demographic), id rather just read em than watch em. I eventually got tired of Spider-Man the animated series towards the end cuz of that thing completely changing major story lines.
