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.

Been enjoying some Summer 1991 lately

6/17/91- The "Dark Starred" show. Worthy of a vault release to be sure, although they are out of gas by the time Sugar Magnolia rolls around. Nevertheless, I love hearing Jerry play the instrumental verse to Dark Star in the second set. Amazing 6/22/91- Rock solid show. Perfect in all respect and some true "Good Old Grateful Dead". One of my favorite Shakedowns 6/25/91- Every head that I have ever met, who attended this show, talks about how emotional this gig is. Beautiful Comes A Time and other rockers galore (also worthy of a vault release). The 90's get no love.

Scooby-Doo House

Can only think of Dave's 16 as the "Scooby-Doo" show since I first read that on one of the other boards. Such a great gig. Admittedly, it was a sleeper release for me. The recording quality kept it out of rotation for a while, but one day I decided to rediscover it (with headphones on). Glad I did. It's been a repeat play ever since. And, as noted, disc 3 is something of a wonder.

Quick Hits

Download Series 1991: one of the few from that series I still listen to. Hot. GSTL Packaging: Beautiful. 1978 Box: Crazy-good. Phish: Saw them tons in the early 90s. In 1995 they went funk and picked up all the unwashed trust-fund kids after Jerry died, and I never went back. Trey in FTW: not who I would have picked, and the whole concept was a bit ill-advised. Citizens United decision: devastating to the 99%--send some money to those who are fighting to have it reversed. Be kind, rewind.

Thin, about that Scooby Doo House

It's funny, when that Dave's Picks 16 artwork was first revealed, the first thing I thought was wow, that looks like my college house; the second thing I thought was, it looks like it could be a house right out of one of those original Scooby-Doo episodes. Then I spent a good Hard 5 minutes thinking about my most important educational years, and wondered what it said that Scooby-Doo was the best comparison I could make. And then the weed brought me somewhere else altogether and I don't think I've thought about it again since. Well, as far as the clumsy packaging is concerned 4 gstl, rest assured everyone, the problem was managed appropriately and expeditiously, at least in my experience. I had scratched discs. Dr Rhino replaced them in satisfactory time. Actually more than satisfactory time, he got that s*** to me fast. He's the guy on the quality control side of things (and marye), and if you think about it, we're no longer getting CDs sent to us in abrasive sandpaper sleeves like road trips. I would be surprised if the new box set has any kind of issue like GSTL, with respect to the CDs not being securely secured. It's the Google translator man, once you say it it's on paper. I believe Dr Rhino and marye are the unsung heros in this machine. Come to think of it, the box cutter slices went away after we brought it to marye and Doc's attention as well. I did a little bit of a mix this morning. I'm on the drive now and in the middle of it. From Dick's Picks 23, Promised Land, bird song, Uncle John's Band. And from Dave's Picks 26, the second set fireworks from the Albuquerque show, sugar magnolia, the other one, Not Fade Away etcetera. I've dawdled here long enough, I'm now cranking it back up. Scooby Snack anyone? Chewie get us out of here....

This is a job for..... KeithFan! ("ScoobyDooFan"?)

Yup - the GSTL box is unnecessarily large, ornate, and fragile. Designed more for the "best packaging" judges than the consumer (who paid for it and has to live with it.) Keithfan, put on your cape and get on this! And I love the "Scooby Doo house" reference re 3/28/73 DaP.

Alpine Valley 1988 can't believe its been 30 years!!

It seemed like it never rained that summer and was 90 degrees every day in the Midwest. Lots of first songs played and second time plays. First Foolish Heart, Blow Away, Take You Home, Believe It, Blackbird, second Victim.... balanced out by a Stella Blue on the 22nd that is so painful to listen to, go ahead I dare you to listen.. Jerry just gave up on it.. enjoy your day... bob t

How oversized is this PNW box?

*Hey now! Please note that this is an oversized item. Increased shipping rates will apply. So how big is this box? The approximate dimensions of the Europe 72 Steamer box are: 15 x 11 x 7 inches. The approximate dimnsions of the 30 Trips box are: 14 x 9 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches. On June 16, 2018 - 2:31pm, Eyes43 posted images from an ebay seller's post (where did this ebay seller get these images?) If these are the images of the finished product, it would make it the same size category of either E72 or 30 Trips. At only 19 discs, I am thinking this box should be the in the same size category of the Spring 1990 and Spring 1990 (The Other One) boxes which I believe are about 12 x 12 x 4. I have neither of these physical box sets. So, how oversized is the forthcoming Pacific Northwest '73-'74: The Complete Recordings Boxed Set?

Watkins Glen Jam

Came across it on the So Many Roads box as well. Not sure, but my understanding is that it was an extended soundcheck the day before the actual show. Those who were there would know better. Regardless, it is one of the best jams the band ever did. If for nothing else other than its uniqueness. Never heard the band ever play anything else like it. The last 6 minutes or so are out of control good. I can just imagine the boys up on stage with big smiles on their faces knowing that no other band on the planet could come close to pulling it off.

Trains

Trains stir the imagination of places to go, places you've been. The power, the sound. TCM has a short they run about the train in movies and lord knows they are the subject of many a photo/painting/puzzles. More than a few movies about trains. Deadheads are by nature a wanderlust group, so I understand the connection. Musician have always had the connection, the timing of the steam, the clack of the tracks. “You know what the three most exciting sounds in the world are? Anchor chains, plane motors & train whistles” – George Bailey (from It’s a Wonderful Life)

Freight Train

Since Jerry covers this, it should be ok.

City of New Orleans = Steve Goodman. Don't know him? Look it up. Great Writer 5:15 The Who. Most definitely about a train. NOT a Ferry!!!!!! Great Movie too "Quadrophenia". Sting makes a very funny Ace Face Age=Wisdom

Unless I scrolled too fast....

....I'm shocked that no one has mentioned Locomotive Breath. If I need to mention the band, I'm doubly shocked.

Don’t you start away uneasy

Aqualung my friend.... Hey, it’s better than a Phish video.....

Trains

Another Rush song... A Passage to Bangkok We're on the train to Bangkok Aboard the Thailand Express We'll hit the stops along the way We only stop for the best

THAT LAST TRAIN

TO CLARKSVILLE....... OK can we now switch tracks and bring the conversation back to THE WHO vs. DOORS topic?? KIDDING!!!!!

train movies

Someone mentioned movies with trains. Instantly I thought of "Silver Streak". That was one of the very first movies I saw with a friend without any parents. We loved it! I think we saw it 3 times and we knew all the big scenes. It was 1976 so we were about 11. We didn't know what to make of the intimate scenes with Jill Clayburgh and Gene Wilder. A man and a woman alone, acting goofy, with odd music. Their encounters seemed very mysterious, but somehow important. I suppose that movie planted the seeds for my lifelong love of train travel. I'm looking forward to seeing the new Branagh "Murder on the Orient Express". Has anyone seen it? (please no spoilers, I haven't seen the original!)

Gollum

I feel like you will dig this movie!

Train.....

Movie; The Cassandra CrossingSong; the Petticoat Junction theme song.

MST3K

MST3K had an episode featuring a movie called "The Dead Talk Back". One of the skits had the host and robots dressed in tye dye and they sang a song called "Cosmic Freight Train." The one 'bot, Crow was dressed like Jerry and did a looooong solo. The other two began a game of chess while the solo played on and on. Look for it....It's really funny!

RIP

Aretha Franklin

Hail Aretha

Spinning the hits. She's sensational. How good it is to live in an age of recording. May she rest in peace. She sure delivered the goods. Caught her live in 1991 in Gary, Indiana, on a hot summer night in a modest-sized, sweltering theater. Word was, they wouldn't use air conditioning, which the theater had, because she said it would mess with her voice. Everyone looked at each other like, "Whatever the Queen wants is fine with me." She rocked the joint.

Sigh, train

Rolling Stones Silver Train and No Expectations. Don't recall reading those yet. Love in Vain was mentioned.

Labor Day

Would be nice if these starting shipping in order to arrive before Labor Day weekend. A nice long weekend to absorb this would be ideal, but most likely will not be the case.

More on Plangent

Had some time to dig around for the articles I mentioned this morning. The list is from an unconfirmed source on the Steve Hoffman site. By unconfirmed, I mean I don't know where he got it or if it's 100% accurate. I know for sure E72 Complete, Winterland 1973, and both May 1977 box sets. The reason I excluded Winterland '73 from my "examples" of the quality benefits Plangent provides, is because I also recall it was recorded on some kind of wider, faster super-tape than most Grateful Dead two-tracks, so that's two significant a variable to ignore if one is interested in an apples to apples comparison of with / without Plangent. I think the best comparison is yet to come, with the Pacific NW Box set. Will it sound better than DaP 21? (which is, in my opinion, the best sounding UN-Plangented two-track from 1973). Edit: With regard to the list of releases that were Plangented, The July 1978 Box set was spoken about on the Steve Hoffman Forum as though it was, but I don't see Plangent mentioned anywhere on the dead.net page where it's up for sale. Both May 1977 sale pages mention Plangent. I have to assume then that July 1978 was not, unless someone has the CD case in front of them and tell us otherwise. The Plangent website: https://www.plangentprocesses.com/ Interview with Jamie Howarth (Plangent CEO) https://audiophilereview.com/analog/plangent---a-better-way-to-transfer… Discussion Thread on Plangent from the Steve Hoffman forum.

Tape-to-Digital Transfer and Wow-and Flutter Correction: John K. Chester and Jamie Howarth, Plangent Processes

David D

Glad to see the rumors of your demise were greatly exaggerated.Hope all is well.

Kiss...lol...

theater only

i defer to Dave D on this.

But only the 7/8/78 show has that listed. the box info doesn't mention it. http://www.dead.net/store/1970s/red-rocks-amphitheatre-july-1978-box?in… The ABB CD was good enough proof for my ears. it's a waste to release the Betty reels without the Plangent process. give the returned tapes their own series, make it downloadable, 3 times a year every 4 months. with Dave's Picks every 3 months and a box it's almost a release a month.

KG

I like the way you think.

Steve Goodman

If anyone is unfamiliar with Steve Goodman and is interested I recommend checking out this extra piece from his Austin City Limits dvd https://youtu.be/yZx7xCK6yfo

re; Kayak Guy....

....this guy Dead's.

Stoltz

Kiss, largely theater. Their first double LP live album is pure hard rock, on par with bands like VH, AC/DC, and Aerosmith. I think one would need to enjoy that record to go any deeper into their catalog. Frehley is the only guy in the band with any real talent. He carried the band through the 70s in my opinion. Even with the unique theater aspect, I don't think they would have made it out of New York without him.

Betty Plangent

I would definitely invest in that series. I don't think they would ever make it download only or even as an option. Too much of a piracy risk. They would be sure to lose out on money and it costs more to put it through Plangent. I was looking at July 1978 sales page, and it's had the message that the download option is being fixed for a year I think. I don't think they're fixing it, I think they're waiting to sell it out first. Once the physical stuff that they invested in is gone, then a little piracy isn't going to hurt them as much. For my part, I buy everything. I could handle a release a month! What about the Kidd Candelaria tapes though? And Bear. I would pretty much take anything from the 60s and 70s, regardless of who recorded it.

Plangent Processed Betty Boards subscription series

because the returned tapes were not in the vault when Dave's Picks was set up those reels in the vault were considered fair game. the Betty's are different and only returned recently and being mined for box sets and Dave's, but the Dave's don't get Plangented because it isn't in the budget. the difference in the ABB reels is amazing compared to the old GDM copy. downloads are for anyone that wants to get them on Itunes or Amazon to cover the added processing costs. no cover art, just a generic reel cover with the date and info. they could call it Dave's Private Stock or Dave's Premium...

pg 48

My info comes from page 48 of the booklet included in the box.

Re: Plangent & The Full Norman

I concur.. please spare no expense to bring these master reels to life. You might just get only one chance, so make it count. I would add, I believe Jeffrey Norman has gotten better at his job, so the sonic upgrade likely has two components. Spare no expense, this is the stuff of history.

i again defer to David

good to have you back ;) my copy is in the storage room and just went from the online data. July 1978 is a great box and deserved to be Plangented. now what about 4/2/73?

(No subject)

Soooo. If I understand this discussion correctly....

....the July '78 box could sound even better? Guess it's time to upgrade my q-tips. And I like KISS. Frehley was the most talented for sure. Vinnie Vincent wasn't too shabby either.

muskrat love

Ha! the gloves are off. i actually enjoyed "Muskrat" and Paper Roses", Jim! You forgot Terry Jacks "Seasons in the Sun" and Bay City Rollers "Saturday Night"

Ha.

Lets hope it ends before that. :D But thanks for bringing in some much needed good spirit.

Muskrat Love....

....I totally recall watching that at my babysitters when I was sevenish. She was a sweet older lady named Lettie. She had pomegranate trees in her backyard and a very pink bathroom that smelled like lilacs. She also had Donohue and the Price Is Right timed to the second. She also made the best toast. The mind is an incredible force....little did I know that the Dead were coming off their hiatus. Stupid seven year old me. I bet I could still find her house if I tried.

Mastering and Lost Opportunities

Jim you're right! Once it is released it seems that any opportunity to improve quality with mastering techniques is lost. If it just didn't exist at the time of release (FW69) then c'est la vie, but skipping it because it is not in the budget, well that just hurts. Charge us more, we will pay it I am sure; I will at least! Advertise that the cost is $1 more per disc because of remastering costs. I bet you get more praise and additional sales because of that than gripes! Spring 90 comes to mind on this issue. The fact that they didn't utilize the multi-track tapes just kills me. The proof is in the pudding when comparing to the follow up Spring 90 TOO release. Lost opportunity indeed - no multi-track master should ever be released without full remastering!!

I Would

Purchase remastered Plangent Dick's Picks. I'm not sure how much improvement 1978 July would get, but Dick's Picks would be incredible.

Plangent Processed Betty Boards subscription series.

it's not about redoing the old CDs, though the ABB Fillmore East 1970 sonic journals would make a good case for a redo of Bear's Choice and the Dick's Picks compilations. this is about a new series with the returned Betty reels and not allowing them to be used for Dave's Picks which doesn't get Plangent processing. old reels and cassettes are fine for Dave's Picks as nice Rhino handmade bootlegs without having the Plangent processing in the budget or time frame. the recently returned Betty's, as they have shown in the recent boxes, are significantly improved by the Plangent process. it's a waste to use them for Dave's and makes me wonder how 1/22/78 might have sounded with the Plangent processing. stop making Dave choose which Betty reels get the regular process, when they all deserve the Plangent process. 12,000 CD runs then digital download for ever as flac or alac to cover the added processing costs. generic tape box labels like the original Dick's Picks for the cover art in the same digipaks as Dave's Picks, every 4 months delivered to your mailbox for say $99 a year or $35 as a single show. they could call it Däve's Choice Cuts or Däve's Premium.

Betty Plangents

Is 1 per month too much to ask? Warner needs to buy several Plangent devices. They can afford it, and I’m sure they have a lot of reels they could use them for after they are done with the GD vault.

Steal your face :)
