    "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.

    pig poem and pictures
    http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2013/03/pigpen-photo-album.html We'll talk and screech madly through the night in heated arguments about the Witch doctors of Africa as versus the Hindus of India and Voodoo men of the West Indies. We'll howl through eons whilst Charlie Mingus puts it down and Luigi's hot rod in his Persian-rugged attic roars like a drunken mouse with his head caught under the feet of Dali's stilted elephants. Why doesn't the middle class put up? because they've got their all holy standards warped! They must dig the life of calm quiet suburbia; until their tract-house orgies are bared. But, we'll howl, rant, scream kick and pick up on frothing sounds - loud cascading forth over Peyote rocks and crashing into ourselves, pierced with flats - sharps and that crazy sound: off minor. Read? - don't play it high society isn't so bad it's the tract-house and 20,000 - 60,000 class that's got middleclass values up to here and who picture themselves as clairvoyant white knights destined to save me, or us - they boil my blood. Dean Moriarty roars into the Opus One at 3:30 a.m.... "Ron! how you been? Crazy! Look Jack, we got a lookin' all so clean gig goin' over Hunter's Point so let's splee this one an' make that!" That cat Moriarty from the Doldrums is just about so crazy as a man can be. "Dean, I, Speedy, Linda, Sammi, Breeze, Yvette, Carlo and many unknowns hold wild atheistic meetings and we sit around and not pray and drink we do, swear, blaspheme - etc. because we have no god." This is what Jon Kreebson writes of himself. Now who knows what howling times we have in crazy grottos of the city while Ginsberg, Ferlinghetti, and Kerouac sit in the spot; many crazy, unsuspecting poets know me in the place. They put the aforementioned in with Chaucer and his cohorts. Howl over pebbled craziness with cascading jive marrying Peyote in a wild explosion frescoed with intermingling and crazy peace of mind. Lateef wailing blue. --R.C. McKernan

    It looks like they did disable his account. And it looks like he opened a new one with a similar spelling. The current one has only been a member for 4 hours. This is laughable almost, because it's in line with dreading's info from customer support. Laughable because they are monitoring him lol. Now that he has their attention, I'm sure they have enough data after that most recent round of spamming to press charges if they want to. It wouldn't matter if he used a fake email address to register the new user name - at this point they know his IP address, which is associated with his ISP (internet service provider, like Comcast or Verizon), as well as his computer or cell phone's MAC address. The MAC address is the hardware serial number of his device, which is on file with whomever he bought the device from. So, there's a database of MAC addresses, and they're distributed in blocks to various hardware vendors. A competent System Administrator can make inquiries into which vendor a MAC address belongs to. Daednet now can most likely tell what kind of computer he's using and which of his ISP's routers his login originated from. So they're like a call or email away from reporting the abuse to his internet company. They'll shut his shit down if there is a significant amount of data to establish what he's doing. They take that shit seriously when there's business impact. This page isn't just a message board - it's the place people have to go to buy a box set that's not sold out. He's screwed. And while an ISP is under no obligation to turn over his personal info (they can't legally, it has to be subpoenaed), deadnet may already have it if he's ever bought anything here (even under a different username, like Terrapin Moon for example). Only thing they need to do is scan their logs for his MAC address and see if it's associated with a deadnet sales record. The funny thing is that he re-signed up after being disabled!

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!
