    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.

    If I don't read at least every other day, I find I can get quite behind the current topic(s).So......consider this a rambling: I took the time now (before the box set arrival), to get one last listen to GSTL box, in order & complete. It may be a while before I get my next opportunity. Favorite song (tie)-Terrapin Station, Comes A Time Favorite set-Set 2, Cornell Favorite show (I'm now wearing protective gear)......New Haven Of course, as JiminMd always says, this will change next time I listen. Also, should we ASSUME, that MDJim is JiminMd?? Not 100% sure Lastly--I consider myself extremely fortunate to have seen XTC 3 times, 2in DC, 1 in MD. What a fantastic live band. As was pointed out, they stopped touring in 1982 due to Andy Partridge's crippling anxiety (stage fright). This band is HUGELY underrated, and while not a flawless catalog by any means, I consider Drums and Wires, Black Sea and everything post The Big Express to be of substantial quality. Just a thought in case you didn't have enough music choices! Music is the BEST--FZ

Fine late-night set by Lettuce with a tributary theme flavoured to local cuisinary preferences (lovely renditions of Cats & TLEO w/ Mayer to close). Incidentally, Lettuce is one of those rare discoveries made via Sirius, of which I rec'd a complimentary scrip with my new car (first one!). Otherwise, I've christened the satellite service with a new corporate slogan: "All the music you don't want to hear, but can't get away from" OR "The last 5-seconds of a song you're dying to hear ... proceed to slogan 1". I've also discovered that I have no faculty for appreciating the Dead one-song-from-one-era-at-a-time; and I don't seem to be driving when they play shows. Now, back to the Cultured Frontier (and KW's Grateful Gospel circa noon)!.

    That 4/19/82 show from Baltimore is sweet. What a great 1st show!I got a really nice copy of it from JiminMD awhile back ;) Saw Gov't Mule down in "Detroit" last night. (40 miles north of Detroit = close enough). They did a set of almost all Floyd. Most of Wish You Here, Dark Side, also Comfortably Numb, The Nile Song (that's an obscure one). Warren Haynes is just amazing. He was a spot on David Gilmour last night. I've also seen him be a spot on Jerry back in 09 with The Dead. I've seen him be a spot on Tommy Iomi. And of course he was largely responsible for reviving The Allman Brothers in the 90s. Anyone catch D&C last night? I'm going to make it a point to see or listen tonight.

    Gris gris
    At Bickershaw, Dr. John liberally dispensed handfuls of gris gris from the stage. A bit pointless at a festival in the wind and rain but who knows, maybe it had some beneficial effect. I also recall that he was wearing some form of headgear that appeared to consist of a large number of snakes. Unfortunately I was not close enough to see exactly what it was. The "Most bizarre headgear" prize, had it existed, would not have gone to the Doctor but to Ed Marimba, Beefheart's drummer who wore "a pair of ladies panties on his head, his hair swept up through the crotch holes on either side in a pair of lewd pigtails."

    They were responsible for bringing in the Mouse tees to the UK before the Rik Griffin show. I went as a guest of John Platt so I met Rik Griffin at the opening, he was very into religion (man) at the time...however, I received a phone call as they were dismounting the exhibition and was offered the chance to buy the exhibits at a fiver apiece, all signed and stamped, I rushed from work-I was in High Holburn-and was able to score 4 or 5, one, the Powwow, Gathering of the tribes still hangs on my kitchen wall, the others are long gone.I saw Dr John at the Sundown with the same girlfriend who came with me to Wembley, so it might have been the same tour? I dont know, I do know that he had Alan Tousaint, the Meters and the Dirty Dozen brass band with him, and they paraded down Edmonton High Street, just like Bourbon St in New Orleans! Said girlfriend who died of cancer a few years after, collected loads of Gris Gris that the good doctor threw to the (sparse)audience.

    I still have a set of four Rick Griffin posters from Alcock & Dicks. Then and now I am still uncertain as to whether Alcock & Dicks was a serious name or were they just taking the piss? I have seen Dr. John several times over the years and he has never failed to disappoint. I cannot remember very much detail about the Ally Pally '74 show due to the consequences of a surfeit of spacecake.

    Simonrob is correct, Beefheart was amazing at the swamplike Bickershaw, I dont remember Dr Johns set(?) But did see him at the Sundown, Edmonton, not sure it was the same tour.First and last: I was at Hollywood, Newcastle under Lyme, where the TV crew were dosed by the Deads crew, the tape of their performance became the soundtrack to Alcock and Dicks Rik Griffin exhibition at the Roundhouse. Alcock and Dick being, the afforementioned TV crew I believe. Hollywood is more known in the UK as being the breakthrough for Mungo Jerry, I kid thee not. God we were sick of their In the summer time within weeks.... Last was the Alley Pally run, which I thought was under par at the time, remember we really dug Seastones and hoped that it heralded a return to the freewheeling psychedelic monster of yesteryear after the very lacklustre (IMHO) Mars Hotel with the, again in IMHO, worst Dead songs to date Juicy Lucy and US Blues. In between saw me as many of the Europe 72 shows as possible, Wembly, Bickershaw and Lyceum, where the tickets were two pounds. Two pounds! twice the price of the Wembly shows a few weeks before.

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.

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.

I don't watch comic book movies anymore. I find them to be very abysmal experiences

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.
