    "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.

    Monsieur Lemieux, Sorry to go off topic, but we really need you to release "Sunrise" from Seneca College 11/02/77 in the next 30 Days of Dead in November. Just trying to put that to bed. "Best Truckin' everrr...." Yeah, we noticed the back to back posts from LD and HC. Some sort of junior high school thing going on there. KF: Grappling hooks are ready. I am prepared and eager to storm the castle. Literally cannot wait until September for this release.

    Seeing Ry Cooder at the Paramount in Denver some week later this year. What a career. Admirable, always tasty and never a sellout. This motherfucker never had a "hit," and that was by design. Remember when Pearl Jam jettisoned half their audience? Also admirable. The Dead never did that, and look what happened. I'm not throwing stones here, y'know. But once the masses glom onto something nothing good ever happens - no one can steer a ship that big and the whole thing ends up straight down into the crapper. Nickelback. Seeing what passes for Electric Light Orchestra from the 3rd row in two nights. We'll see if we can pick out the shade of Jeff Lynne's Miss Clairol and if he's mildly coked. Yes, I like the Beatles. God bless everyone. \m/

    That was cool. The best part is how good he says the tapes sound. If you put on something like DaP 9, and then put on DaP 2, or DP 7 or Dazp 2012 bonus, you can hear that Vol 9 sounds a whole lot better. It's louder and clearer, and has far less hiss. Do you all think that's because Vol 9 came out more recently? Meaning they got better at cleaning up the sound as the years went by? Or do you think it's more likely that the tapes for the older ones I mentioned just weren't as good to start with? Maybe just me, but seaside interview, Dave sounded like he was saying the Dark Star isn't that good. Anybody else feel that way? Not to sound like a party pooper but I wish there was more than one Dark Star!

    The box looks like a nice one. I've always loved Northwest indigenous art. That being said, I'm going to order the Flacs. I need less stuff in my life. This set is what's going to get me through another Northeast winter.

    Here is another vote for Ry Cooder, a man who has helped discover and redefine the so called American songbook as much if not more than our heroes. Virtually everything he has released is well worth a listen including movie soundtracks and there is a ton of stuff out there. He has been touring lately, missed a chance to see him because the ticket prices were hideous and far away, however remain a very long time fan. The Rolling Stones tried to draft him (see a fairly obscure album titled Jamming with Edward, also some absolutely killer slide playing on the tune, Memo from Turner, Jagger on vocals). When people talk about Bobby's slide playing, shall we say we love you Bob but there are some fantastic slide players out there, including Duane, Sonny Landreth, Ry, Bonnie Raitt, Johnny Winter, Robert Johnson , including Jeff Beck who has such a great sense of pitch he needs no bottleneck and he plays perfectly way high up above the frets.... JiminMD will be with him in just a couple days. Me? Happy to have just scored a second row seat for Dweezil in a small nearby venue three months from now.

    I am not sure but I believe the animated art they have sent in each of the emails announcing the listening party/seaside chat will be that shows artwork. It is all similar in look to the one that is being sold individually.

    It looks beautiful to me. However, it's sorta small, smaller than E'72 and 30 Trips boxes. I would guess it's about 8 inches in depth, - the short side wall and about 11 to 12 inches in length, and about 8 to 9 inches high. The video shows a wooden component, a smaller wood box similar to the Warlocks box. I would guess that the exterior is cardboard with a printed paper cover. But then what Mr. Vickers was holding was probably just a mock-up, and not the finished product. The only individual show artwork that has been revealed is the 5/19/74 Portland show. I would guess the same art for both the vinyl LP set as with the CD set. We shall see the real thing in about a month. mmm!

Only reason I bought it was for the 1967-10-22 show. I've already got a really good soundboard of it but I'm listening with nice headphones right now & it's definetly worth it. Sounds fantastic.Get some... a little further in now...massive upgrade. Thanks :o)

I can't believe someone objected to Hippychic's posts. It reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where Kramer freaks out when Jerry threatens to report his female neighbor for walking around her apartment naked. Madness. I love this space, where every topic under the sun is fair game, but lets face it, it is mostly a sterile, barren, sexless sausage fest. especially since Kate C. no longer posts. Please keep the posts cummin Hippychic.

Getting off the subject of the Grateful Dead, a blast from my past: Lothar And The Hand People. I never really got to see them many years ago at the Roxy Theatre in Northampton, Pennsylvania, but I definitely do remember the name. I used to have their 1st Capitol Records LP, I guess -the one with pictures of the band members photos on the front cover on a tan background. I thought the their facial expressions in these photos were hilarious, and ages ago I bought the album with that being one of the reasons for buying it. Another reason to buy it was to "explore" new music and it was quite low-cost price for the time. ($2.98 or something like that) Anyway, with that being said, here's a sound sample - I think it's the whole album, or at least the opening track on Side 1, "Machines": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDpIz8E6wvs&list=PLW1w8neoXejs188MBadMB…

My first comment here, after lurking for a few months, ha! I personally would love to see 6-4-76 Paramount Theater, Portland, OR. Great setlist, historic show, and does not circulate in SBD. That said, a mini box of both 6-3 and 6-4 might be warranted, so perhaps they'll hold off (provided 6-4 is even in the vault). Just sayin'. Hey everybody!

I like the build up for the announcement. Just hoping for a good show with great sound. I'll probably be busy and miss the announcement going live, but will be checking for a Listening Party at lunch after Taper's Section in the morning. May all who need to get it a la carte have your dreams come true tomorrow!

No not the guitar company or the mental thing... the Miles Davis album. Miles Davis, E.S.P. Man, is this beautiful music. The last two songs, "Iris, and Mood" are just hypnotic. I was at the Dead & Co. shows in Boulder the last two nights. I was with some buddies Friday and had a great time though I felt the pace dragged a little. So, taking the wife last night, I kept hyping it - that Friday maybe wasn't the most stellar show and being end of tour, last night would kill it. It lagged even more than Friday. When Bob took the band into a languid, "Days Between" right out of a long-ass drums/space, I think half the stadium fell asleep. Still love the band, but, that was exactly the moment to go into "Me And My Uncle, or Truckin'," something to put a little juice in the proceedings. As usual the sound was immaculate; pristine. That band has the cleanest, purest live sound mix I have ever heard and they get it outside. Amazing. Shakedown street there at Folsom Field is a beautiful scene. You can get great food, cool swag and there are several full bars. The cops just hang out behind their sunglasses with their arms folded and watch the girls. A great weekend. Happy Sunday everyone.

I thought the Boulder shows looked pretty good on paper. But, I wasn’t there and I didn’t do the stream. I did catch the free stream of Set 1 opening China/Rider and thought it was great. Agree with LedDed that D&C has spectacular concert sound. So does Roger Waters. Worst concert sound I experienced: Van Halen 2007. Horrendous. It was indoors, but I have also seen Roger Waters 3x and D&C 2x at the same place and they sounded great. For RW in 2012 I was one row in front of the same seat I was in for VH 2007, and it sounded great, so can’t blame the arena for the bad VH sound. Saw VH outdoors in 2015 and it sounded way better, but not even close to how D&C sounds outdoors.

Hey now I just came a cross this on ebay, it's probably already been discussed. Are any of these extra tracks on the bonus third CD of Long Strange Trip previously unreleased? EXCLUSIVE Bonus Disc Three TRACK LISTING: 1 Playing in the Band (Beat-Club, Bremen, West Germany, 4/21/1972) 9:48 2 Eyes of the World (Roosevelt Stadium, Jersey City, NJ, 8/6/1974) 18:35 3 St. Stephen (Cornell 5/8/77 Barton Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, 5/8/1977) 4:47 4 Not Fade Away (Cornell 5/8/77 Barton Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, 5/8/1977) 16:20 5 St. Stephen (Cornell 5/8/77 Barton Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, 5/8/1977) 2:04 6 Dark Hollow (Warfield Theatre, San Francisco, CA, 10/7/1980) 4:04 7 Stella Blue (Zoo Amphitheater, Oklahoma City, OK, 7/5/1981) 10:14 8 Days Between (Madison Square Garden, New York, NY, 10/18/1994) 13:56 the only ones I question are the Zoo from 81 and Days Between? Didn't the Eyes come out on a Dicks picks? Help I'm not a schooled archivist. :> Thanks, nitecat

You are right. Only the last two songs of the bonus disc were previously unreleased. Been hoping for a full 7/5/81 release for a while now. Great ‘81 show but also a hometown one for me. Enjoy the CD!

Agreed-a superb album-Herbie Hancocks piano and Tony Williams drumming-exceptional. All those mid 60s Miles Davis album are great-but E.S.P might just be my favourite.I only got into Bitches Brew this year. There is a 3 cd 1 dvd anniversary edition of this out, that doesn't cost so much, and sounds brilliant. Much, much better than earlier editions-to my way of thinking.

Vguy - Love ya, but I disagree that the '81 TTATS was met with "fire and brimstone". No one dissed the show itself (as I recall). The general consensus was that it was one of the weaker recordings in the box - merely a statement of fact. '81 is one of the worst-recorded of the Dead's 30 years, so it was to be expected, no? "Fire and brimstone" seems a bit dramatic, but perhaps I'm forgetting some of the comments.

Nice - Glad they found a good show and good recording form the 80's. Help Slip Franklin's is one of my favorites, and is one of the songs that no one has enough of. Glad to hear Eyes is NOT one of the super-speedy versions that was the norm in the 80's. BRING IT!
