"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.

Record Store Memories

When I started high school (1969) my mom would give me a dollar a day to buy lunch in the cafeteria. I would skip lunch and pocket the dollar and every Friday I would buy an album at American Records, a hippie record shop, on my way home. $3.69 per. I would have to smuggle the albums into the house. One day while doing laundry my mom found a reciept for an album I had bought in my pockets and wanted an explanation. I told her that occasionally I didn't eat lunch and used that money to buy an album when I had enough. She was furious and told me to go bring her this album that she would hold onto until I had earned enough through chores to buy it back. Now the album I had bought was Live/Dead and I wasn't going to give that to her. So I went upstairs and grabbed a Steve Miller Band album which I had bought earlier and thought was total garbage and with a sad face turned it over to her. Guess I'll never be a Supreme Court Justice.

Re: Midway Kid

Hey now Midway Kid, I live less than 10 minutes from 75th and Metcalf in KC area....I believe the old record store you're referring to was Peaches....I remember going in there with my parents when I was a kid. I think it is now a 24hour fitness or something. I also know that the old Peaches wooden album crates are highly sought after for storing and displaying vinyl....probably $50 a piece. KCJ

Re: Midway Kid

Great story Midway Kid.. brings back memories. I struggled very hard to get a few of the harder to get albums.. There was a place about 20 min away from where I lived in high school called Record and Tape Traders that got used/older/import items that were not for sale in the standard record stores. When I finally got Garcia's first solo album (Old and in the Way too).. I was in heaven. It took me more than a year to even find a copy let alone one that sounded good and didn't break the bank. The other happy days in my GD listening adventure were my first 'good' tape trading buddy, the time One From the Vault (and later Dicks Picks) started cranking things out and more recently the day I discovered the Live Music Archives at Archive.Org. Heaven.. Thanks to all the good folks who helped bring us the music in the highest quality humanly possible.

Box

By the way, it is confirmed I am not a robot. Good. Love the box--buy it when you can---the music is certainly worth it. The 5/19/74 sound quality is stunning, the immediacy of the instruments and the proper (Garcia up front) soundstage is amazing. Weirdly, it is probably at its best during the songs where the vocals are off. I just crank those up to listen to the three guitarists. Thanks to all for doing this. Greatly appreciated.

box set and story

What a box set. some of the best and mean best recording I have ever heard for the Dead. Anyone who has not bought this who wants it. Buy it. There is so much fantastic music here. Non of the CDs skipped in my box. Thankfully. A quick story from the old days. We did not have such easy access to such great recordings back the day. I was a senior in high school 1987 and had seen the dead for the first time in 1985. I was then and now today a Dead Head. Anyway between 1984 and where I am in the story finding dead albums in record stores was not that easy. At least some of the rare ones at the time. So every record store in Chicago I went too I would go straight to the dead section and see what they had. Every album that I never saw before I would buy if I could, if not go back and buy when I had the money. Till I found all the albums. The two funnest I remember finding was Reckoning. Man that was great. And Europe 72. I remember I had to save up for a couple weeks to buy it I think it might of been 17 dollars. I was so excited to open a three record set and look at all the pictures of the band because they were scarce at that time as well. Anyway to my surprise the whole inside was blank no pictures. I guess they had a book in the original print back in the seventies and got rid of it later. But the songs were great. Anyway back to my story I read in a bulletin somewhere that the Dead were releasing From The Mars Hotel on CD. So I ordered a copy not owning a CD player because they were expensing and I had no CDs. So when it arrived I drove to 75th and Metcalf outside Kansas City. I lived there at this point. A big giant record store. And went to where their full size stereos with CD players were set up for sale. I put the CD in and sat down on the floor and listened to the whole thing right there in the store. Nobody said a word to me. So as I listened to these songs it brought me back to that day. And the fond memories of me learning the songs I had never heard. Another great find was when I found Old And In The Way on CD in what back then was called the import area. I saw what looked to be Garcia on the front and sure enough it was. That CD got tons of play in college. I later many years down the road down the road went back to that same building which was now a boarders books at that point and read all of Phil's book on breaks from work. So oddly that building has two very special grateful memories for me.

saw this set on ebay for 175.00 everyone keep calm, you will be able to get this set for cheaper if you hold out a little bit longer. The 1990 Too box has got to be one of the best sounding, best recorded, best mastered box set, and it took over a year to sell out, so I don't see this one selling out anytime soon. I used to be immortal, but then I was informed that you still get old and feeble, immortality would only be good if you could stay young. So I gave up immortality for the pleasures of the flesh, don't have one regret, well, maybe one or two. Who wants to live to be 90, or 100 if you are all used up and unable to do anything but sit in your wheelchair and look out the window? Live for today, carpe diem

Three

Grace, Jack and Jorma?.. yes. Seeing 2/3 of this trio in the fall. Life is short, makes one feel a little less immortal. I got to see the revised Jefferson Airplane during their reunion tour I think in 1989? Ziggy Marley opened and Hot Tuna played a few acoustic tunes during set break. As close as I ever came to seeing the real thing.. still, it seemed special at the time.

I was never crazy about this one. Odd choice for vinyl when you stop to think about how many better ones there are. I found the show to be just kind of average for 1977. The best thing about it are the bonus tracks from 11/2 at Seneca. There's a really hot Playing in the Band on Dave's Picks 24 from Berkeley. When I say hot, I mean this is in my top 5 all time. There is an intensity that Jerry and Phil provide, which seems to bring up everybody's game. I haven't listened to this show since it came out, and even then I was preoccupied and never gave it its full due.

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.

Steal your face :)
