"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.

Dylan live

I saw Dylan live for the first time last year. He played Tangled Up and Blue and about five songs form the 60s. With some of them-Desolation Row particularly, I had no idea what song was being played until he started singing, the arrangements were so different. Well worth seeing, though. I like all the last 4 albums he made featuring self penned material. Love and Theft is the one I keep going back to. Amazing that The Orb are doing a 30th anniversary tour-they still seem like modern music to me. They distinguished themselves in my eyes through Steve Hillage's involvement. Incidentally, if anyone out there likes Steve's music, there is an incredible box set of his available called Searching For The Spark. All the great albums, live shows previously unavailable, outtakes, two books, posters-one of them signed, a badge and plectrum. Every home should have one.

Vguy, that old Bryce

Yeah, Bryce Canyon is a one of a kind place. Took my 91 year old mother in law there last fall, and she thought she'd seen everything until then. All of those Utah national parks are unique in their own way. I take hundreds of photos, but none come close to the feeling you get by being there all immersed in it. Bryce blows you away from the rim drive views, but only when you get down into the trails among the spires do you realize the true majesty of the place. Just got back from another trip to Sedona, which I consider the most beautiful small town I've been to, even up against places like Telluride, Aspen, Santa Fe and Laguna Beach. The red rocks there have a mood for every sun strike, cumulus cloud filled blue sky, and ferocious bolt of lightning wreaking havoc in the distance. Just drive 10 minutes and the view from another angle is completely different. Hundreds of miles of trails all over and just outside town too. Anyway, I picked up my PNW box today being held by my neighbor. In mint condition, and I looked at the playing side of every disc. No finger prints, scratches, gouges, or nicks. Listening to my second disc right now, so far so good. Hoping it all runs through that way. Box and packaging is as glorious as promised, and even the wife with her architect's eye was impressed. Excellent sound so far, as many have said. This will undoubtedly be a main cornerstone of my '73-'74 collection, and will get a lot of play. No matter how many times I try (and I have), the '73-74 with all of its clean and polished precision can not quite move me like '68-'72, with its raw and rough energy, emotional peaks, and that undefinable "sound" that to me is the heart and soul of the GOGD. But it comes damn close, and I'm more than grateful for this release. I love the packagings of these box sets - yep, it enhances the experience for me substantially. Oh, and Jimbo - any movie with Gene Hackman and Delroy in it is ok by me. I think Delroy is an Oakland local around here, though I've never seen him out and about. Did see Danny Glover at an Oakland coffee shop midday one time when almost nobody else was around though...

Dave's 28th

I would love another 1969 release right about now... maybe something from those returned reels? Or October 1972, we've never had anything from then (maybe the vault is utterly void there, though?) And of course October 1973 hasn't been hit since way back at Dicks #19!! Maybe there's no way to clean up that weirdness perpetrated on the Let It Grow of 10/25/73? -- damn shame if so...

5/21/74 PITB download

i think it has been fixed from previous posts.i would like to hear how the digital downloads sound to those that bought them. are the hi res flacs worth it, if you have the equipment to listen to it on? do the alac versions sound as good as the CDs ripped into Itunes? i know it has been asked before by Ziffle, but i don't remember seeing any follow up.

Been in a serious Black Sabbath bender lately....

....drop Never Say Die and Technical Ecstasy and you get the complete package. You heard it here first. Or not........is this the correct board to post this? I think so. A Motorhead, Sabbath, Grateful Dead triple bill would be.... incredible.

5/21/74 PITB download

Does anyone know if the download issues for the 5/21/74 PITB was resolved? Have been back and forth on wether to go with the downloads or the physical box. I usually get the physical product, but am mostly interested in the music and rip the discs anyhow. The product usually goes back in the shipping box and stored until I have a good place to display, even then it likely would not be all of them.

3130 boxes left

I wonder how many of these have damaged discs. I bought the vinyl set, but haven't pulled the trigger on the box yet; after reading all the complaints here, I might just wait until I find one on Ebay from someone who has successfully ripped all the discs. It will probabaly take as long to sell out as the July 78 box(which hasn't sold out yet...)

Money. It's a gas....

....one could say money attributed to Jerry's death. By the '90's, the Dead's payroll got so huge, that Garcia wouldn't take a break for fear of the employees well-being. Or so I've heard. A double-edged sword. The band went from a fine tuned machine to a broken one. I didn't consider that back then. I was young and just having fun. Hindsight is 20/20. ....still on vacation but back home now. Bryce Canyon in Utah is so breathtaking. It's gets the Vguy family's highest recommendation. Took a three hour horseback tour. Wake up to find out you are the eyes of the world indeed. Everyone needs to witness it in person. Pictures do not do it justice. In the back of my mind I kept wondering what it would be like while dosed. Sensory overload....

re: Dylan

I saw Dylan in 2015 or 2016; it was a very mellow show with lots of stuff from his last 4 albums and very few classics. Still very good, but different if the Dylan you know is pre-1980 (or even pre-2005). A lot of Frank Sinatra standards and covers. Since then he's opened up the setlist a lot more, with about 10 "Classic Era Dylan" songs per show. It's a good balance. If you haven't seen or heard Dylan lately, I highly recommend 2012's Tempest, which is probably my favorite Dylan album since Desire. Scarlet Town and Pay in Blood are two of the best songs he's ever written.

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.....

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.
