    "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.

    I received that email as well. There wasn't much too it, a few bullet points and a picture of the box. My guess it was a response to pictures of the box showing up on eBay. Here are the bullets: Some folks like surprises, others not so much. Our PACIFIC NORTHWEST '73-'74 box and its fantastic art and packaging have hit the web so we thought we'd share an official look with you right here, right now.

    I am glad you liked Buckeye. That is what makes this band so exciting. What One Man (not you Steve)doesnt like, another does. It is weird we missed such a huge Shakedown. It is an oddity, that within the same confines, you can have different experiences... After all, it was a Grateful Dead concert, so better time spent than elsewhere!

    Buckeye Lake '88
    I was there and thought it was a really good show all around. The first set with Hornsby sitting in was top notch Dead. The second set opened with three new songs, Victim, Foolish heart and Blow Away. i distinctly remember the reaction of some people towards Victim in particular, and watching the mood grow dark. At that point i knew that was going to be a great song. The Blow away and foolish heart are solid renditions. Terrapin was played to perfection. The post Space segment was pretty standard with a decent reading of The other one, even though without the Phil bass intro. It was indeed hot and oversold. I remember being parked about 12 cars deep right in the middle of probably the biggest "Shakedown street" I even seen. We were trapped in the lot for the duration. Very festive though. The day before the Buckeye show was spent at Cedar Point. Fun weekend. ....speaking of the 6/21/89 Shoreline PPV broadcast, I would also love to see that released. Great show.

    Thanks for the info on Further and Deadco. Also thanks to other commenters. Did not realize that Deborah had caused some issues. Need to watch Long Strange Trip again and watch with a more discerning eye. I think it was Vguy that stated he just wants to hear the music and not be too concerned with the backstage or life making sausage aspects. At least I now understand why Billy and Mickey were shunning and now are back. Thanks again, G Edit OOOps: Stoltzfus not Vguy.

    Speaking of more Video. I hope maybe next year you will choose Today's Date 1989 for either release or MUATM or both. I still have my old VHS tapes of the PPV, and they still sound very good. If you do, release the whole PPV with beginning and intermission. The crowd stuff at the beginning and intermission is always fun to show folks who wonder what in the hell was I into. Another show where Phil thunders hard during opening of Estimated. G

    90s!
    Kevjones-I totally agree. The 90s has some single show stuff, especially in '91 with the lush 7-piece band sound that deserves to come out. The late Brent era has been pretty covered with the entire spring 90 tour being released, which is phenomenal, but I always felt '91 was really their last great year. (No, not "great" like '72 and '73-'74, etc., I know, but still LOTS of good shows, that Jerry's rapid decline prevented from '92 to end.) Don't think I have ever even heard Sandstone but used to play soldier field in my car all the time and 6-17 Giants was one of the best shows I ever saw, along with 12-6-92 Tempe out of 60 or so. (And I hated Giants stad. as a venue and never went back after '92.) It's ironic that people are complaining about MUAM being too 90s when they don't have much other video, but the boxes have been all 70s-which is great-but there are some single shows here and there from '91 that would be a great representation of Bruce Dead. That was the other thing-once Bruce officially left and only played with them sporadically after spring '92, Vince really made you miss Brent. Vince was cool and all, I liked him...but still.

    You heard right, Thin. First set performances were excellent, but it took them a while to get the sound right, at least from where I was sitting on the first base side. Second set was way beyond expectations. Despite blown lyrics in "St. Stephen" (we're all used to that), they nailed it instrumentally and "The Eleven" was shockingly wonderful.

    I saw Pearl Jam a few years back at Wrigley Field. About 4 songs in, Eddie announced that there was a huge lightning storm on the way, and that we would have to get off the field. The huddled masses gathered together in the ballpark concessions areas for about 2 hours. Finally, the storm subsided (and it was truly a magnificent light show!). We all went to our soggy seats and Eddie came out. He noted that they had to ask permission from the nearby homes, but the mayor had given the 'ok' to continue the show at that hour. PJ finally started in again about 11:00pm and played until well after 1am. It's one of those rarities that they have never released on CD, probably not one of their best by their standards, but I don't know anyone who got to see them that night that was not satisfied. Maybe, in their particular situation, Dead and Co, did not feel they could do that (past Bobby's bedtime?), but for a band that typically plays between 2-3 hours, they owe you something.

    The only summer of 1988 show I saw was Buckeye Lake. One of only 2 shows that I did not like. As has been mentioned, excrutiatingly hot. If memory serves low 100's. Show starts off good. Not sure the heat did not take it out on the fellas. We get there and get in line early to tape, like maybe around 2. They had a huge sign on the interstate, "Grateful Dead, TODAY, $5." So not only did they get us paying full price and driving 400 miles, but then they parked us in a lot real close to the entrance. We thought great, small walk. Had security and parking people to park the crowd. Stand in line in that heat and get down right beside Healy. There must have been close to 100,000 people. I am sure maybe 20,000 only paid $5. Problem was when we leave, and ready to get back to hotel to dub tapes, etc. all of the security and parking people were gone. Ouch. After waiting for several hours we decided to take the Cherokee trail riding and found an escape through the woods to the local road. Did not mind one bit tearing up the field we went through to get to the road, it was all Buckeye Lake property. I still really enjoy the opening Stranger, still wondered about Bobby and his pink Strat. The Sugaree was also good, as was most of the first set. Even after dark it was still in the 90's. That is what made the after show such a problem. There was little lot vending to find a beer, veggie burrito, or water. That was my one and only large venue show. All others were 4,500 to 16,000. Whew. Hard to believe 30 years ago Monday. G

Of course! almost forgot that one. Willie Nelson also does a killer version. I guess we should give "Wabash Cannonball" an honorable mention, although I don't think its quite as great as the tunes mentioned so far. Definitely, the Dead/Jerry's "Smokestack Lightning" and "It takes a lot to Laugh.." are top shelf. I'm not sure what to make of "Click Clack" but need to give it a few more listens. Well, yeah its Beefheart, so you know....

Unbelievably powerful riff + Neil Peart's insane drumming and Geddy Lee's voice in its prime. I'd be remiss not to mention Terry Brown's mad production skills. I can't beat this for car songs Jimbo. Is anyone else wrestling the urge to listen to the Listening Party tracks? KeithFan! Stay on target....stay on target.... When this baby hits 88, we're going to see some serious shit. "CHINACAT SUNFLOWER>I KNOW YOU RIDER" "SUGAR MAGNOLIA" "PLAYING IN THE BAND" "HERE COMES SUNSHINE" "LOOKS LIKE RAIN" "STELLA BLUE" "BIRD SONG" "HE'S GONE" "TRUCKIN'>JAM>NOT FADE"

I am not sure about either the Dead or Jerry being granted ownership of "Smokestack Lightning" and "It Takes a Lot To Laugh". The original versions of both songs, by Wolf and Dylan are great, though.

....well Phish has this little dittie called, wait for it, Train Song. "and we drank a little wine". They have another one called Get Back On The Train."When I jumped off, I had a bucket full of thoughts When I first jumped off, I held that bucket in my hand Ideas that would take me all around the world I stood and watched the smoke behind the mountain curl It took me a long time to get back on the train Now I'm gone and I'll never look back again I'm gone and I'll never look back at all You know I'll never look back again I turn my face into the howlin' wind It took me a long time to get back on the train See my face in the town that's flashing by See me standing at the station in the rain See me running there beside the car I left it all behind, again I'll travel far It took me a long time to get back on the train." Yeah. They have some songs with silly lyrics. This is not one of them.

Simonrob don't be ridiculous, that song is about a ferry not a train. Feeling "merry" was drug-speak for getting high on Leapers in 60s Mod London. Inside outside, leave me alone. Inside outside, nowhere is home. Inside outside, where have I been? Out feeling merry on the 5:15. Out feeling merry on the ferry... Speaking of 5/15, I've made an important discovery. Dark Star 5/15/70 at 15:15, Jerry goes divine for a few minutes. I wonder if that's still the Gibson SG he used on Live Dead. I love that guitar.

Why should I care?Why should I care? Girls of fifteen Sexually knowing The ushers are sniffing Eau-de-cologning The seats are seductive Celibate sitting Pretty girls digging Prettier women Magically bored On a quiet street corner Free frustration In our minds and our toes Quiet storm water M-m-my generation Uppers and downers Either way blood flows Inside outside, leave me alone Inside outside, nowhere is home Inside outside, where have I been? Out of my brain on the 5:15 Out of my brain on the train Out of my brain on the train A raft in the quarry Slowly sinking Back of a lorry Holy hitching Dreadfully sorry Apple scrumping Born in a war Birthday punching He man drag In the glittering ballroom Gravely outrageous In my high heel shoes Tightly undone Know what they're showing Sadly ecstatic That their heroes are news Inside outside, leave me alone Inside outside, nowhere is home Inside outside, where have I been? Out of my brain on the 5:15 Out of my brain on the train Out of my brain on the train, on the train I'm out of my brain Out of my brain on the train Here it comes Out of my brain, on the train, on the train Out of my brain on the train Why should I care? Why should I care? @ KeithFan, possibly the lyrics lost something in the translation from English to American. Never seen a reference to merry or ferry in the song. Where did you find those lyrics? Indeed leapers was slang for amphetamines, but not a word I have ever heard used in that context, but mods (who loved amphetamines - and scooters) were a bit before my time.

Agree with daverock, this is a great vintage Stones tune. I first heard it on the “Garden State 78” double bootleg album. Another great train track from the Stones is Love in Vain, which I believe has already been mentioned.

By Guns N Roses Crazy Train - Ozzy w/ Randy Rhodes I think these "trains" are metaphorical but they still count. Blue Train - Coltrane Take the A Train - Ellington Downtown Train - Tom Waits There's some old timey song about hitching a ride in a box car that I can't remember.

Not metaphorical, real The title refers to the then-new A subway service that runs through New York City, going at that time from eastern Brooklyn, on the Fulton Street Line opened in 1936, up into Harlem and northern Manhattan, using the Eighth Avenue Line in Manhattan opened in 1932.

Night Train and Crazy Train were the ones I meant as metaphorical. I probably put that sentence in the wrong spot, after the things it was referring to. Should have led with that. Tom Waits Downtown Train is really about stalking someone at a subway stop too. King of the Road is the old timey song I was trying to think of. Lots of train references.

Joy. Edit: A preemptive comment on disabled civil servants, hats off.. you have my support. I just don't trust telemarketers that somehow get my phone number can call me fifteen times a year. Most times very little money trickles down to the folks that need it and executives and shell companies gobble what they can first. No attempt on my part to be unkind..
