    "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.

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

I really must make a shirt with that on it. about 10 people on the planet will "get it", but it is a grand cosmic joke for us that do.

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.

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.
