"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.

Video Games

Ah, the time I've wasted on video games...Started with the original Xbox, currently running a PS4 for my time wasting needs. Not a lot of games catch my attention at this point, but GTA never disappoints, probably due to the fact that there are all those great tunes on the radio stations. I have turned on to some cool stuff after hearing it on a GTA radio station. The last one, GTA V was particularly expansive, really dug some of the old school country that they play on the country station, don't think that I ever really heard Whiskey River by Willie Nelson before hearing it on the GTA V radio station and that tune is great. Hopefully the thought of GTA (Grand Theft Auto) will not conjure visions of the apocalypse for the overly sensitive.

Last five purchases

(forgive me--I already mentioned them about fifteen pages back . . . )Joni Mitchell--Song to a Seagull Coltrane--Both Directions at Once (The Lost Album) Miles Davis & John Coltrane--The Bootleg Series Vol. 6 Buffalo Springfield--What's That Sound (box--the mono remasters are fantastic) The Beatles--Sgt. Pepper's 50th Anniversary Stereo Remaster (jaw-dropping) The art on that singles series is so tasty, it's making me wish I had purchased them, even though I don't have a record player. Here's hoping they release the art in some form.

attended something new this evening

I received complimentary tickets for a show at the zoo Pink Martini Something completely new to me probably not everyone's cup of tea "unless you attend a show, man" but I had a peak experience this one singer the full show wow impressed

XTC / Dukes of the Stratosphear

DaveStrang, yeah, I got the Dukes of the Stratosphear at the same time as some XTC as a matter of fact, hadn't realized that they were the same folks until browsing around this spring. There are a few XTC tunes that get stuck in my head (like Making Plans for Nigel)and the Dukes stuff does if for me as well. Good stuff, I like to balance my dead listening with a variety of other stuff. Although once this PNW box arrives I think it will be all dead all the time for awhile. firstnamerichard, I will definitely be picking up Starship Troopers, your endorsement convinced me to take the chance. Plus, I find that when I like one book by an author, I generally have a good chance of liking their other stuff and I really dug Stranger in a Strange Land by Heinlein.

Unboxing

...the Box video is up and ready to screen...

R.I.P Ed King

That guitar army up in heaven must be amazing.

the new video

i think this is just an edit of the clip they showed at MUATM. i was baked, weed legal state here in MA, but i thought they actually opened the box at 3:00 in and showed the book as the top item inside in sort of a leathery cover that obscured the rest of the contents. you can see a quick cut at 3:00 back to Dave right as the artists hands are ready to open the box. this is where Dave says the Plangent Process makes the tapes sound totally new compared to listening to the unprocessed reels.

Robert Heinlein

2 favorites: 1. Farnham's Freehold (1964) 2. I Will Fear No Evil (1970) - Portending gender transition?

Keith Richards-Mick Taylor

Yes, Keith Richards isn't even listed as playing on "Moonlight Mile", so its highly unlikely he had anything to do with writing it. Also, the structure of great "Time Waits For No-one" on "Its Only Rock N' Roll" has none of Keiths trademark playing or writing style. It is, however, elevated by some of the best playing of Mick Taylor's career, so I have always thought that this may have been one of his songs. I'm not so sure about "Can't You Hear Me Knocking", though. In a way, whoever composed it must bow down to one of the, if not THE, greatest opening guitar riffs ever recorded. And that one ain't played by Mick Taylor!

Charlie3/XTC/Dukes Of Stratosphear

Since XTC never toured due to Andy Partridge's crippling stage fright (he could have taken a few tips from GD), the band had plenty of time on their hands and the Dukes came about. I think the 2 releases from the Dukes out-psychedelicize anything from the 60s in the psychedelic pop arena. It would make sense since they were heavily influenced by the music from that era. 'Pale And Precious' alone shows the influence of the Beach Boys on the band and could be a re-write of 'Good Vibrations'. On a more positive note, I think the band was paying homage to their 60s influences. If you're interested Dave Gregory (guitars/keys for XTC) is now a member of the English progressive band 'Big Big Train'. They've released some great music if you like that genre.

George R. R.

I've never gotten into the whole GOT thing (something to look forward to, maybe), but a probably little known fact is that for a brief moment there Hunter was writing songs for what would have been a movie of Armageddon Rag back in the '80s. It all fell apart, but sort of interesting to think of what might have been. He did at least one of the songs live a few times. I think it was called Resurrection Rag, but I'd have to go digging.

Reading and stuff

It appears the coast is clear...for now. I read the first three Game of Thrones. Started off great, but it's flagging a bit. Maybe that's why George is struggling to finish it. Currently I'm reading the first of four volumes of Jonathan Sumption's epic history of the 100 Years War, and this is some of the best history I've ever read. Highly recommended, but it is a commitment. Next 5 books - The Owsely Biography - Joe Abercrombie - The Blade Itself - Thomas Pynchon - Bleeding Edge - Edward III - W Mark Ormrod - American Colossus - HW Brands Last 5 lists - Next five books - Last five listens - Last five purchases - Last five movies - Last five video games

Resurrection Rag

And performed (maybe co-written?) by Merl Saunders. Dig that tune!

Re:SlowDogNoodle

I am curious to know what drew you to Jonathan Sumption's 4 volume 5000 page history of The Hundred Year War? As a history buff I salute you.

my last five music purchases

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers 'The Live Anthology' 1980-2007 Talking Heads Stop Making Sense (Live 1983-special new edition) Rail Road Earth Live (Boulder Theater 8/17/2018 & Red Rocks 8/18/2018) Wilco (the Album) Mandolin Orange 'Such Jubilee' And reading through this thread reminded me to listen to my XTC (on vinyl). We saw a XTC show many years ago in Kansas City. We got back from our Colorado jaunt last week to the Rocky Mountain National Park's trailridge road, up to the top of Mount Evans, a vintage bed and breakfast outside Boulder, the added treats included attending Joe Russo's Almost Dead at Red Rocks on 8/16/2018 and then two Rail Road Earth shows (Boulder Theater 8/17/2018 & Red Rocks 8/18/2018). If you haven't been to Red Rocks please do yourself a favor to stop by there sometime as it is a truly remarkable natural site. Now combine this with one of your favorite bands and you will have a transcendent experience. Plug for Joe Russo's Almost Dead or take in a Rail Road Earth show. JRAD has the high octane of the early Grateful Dead (https://archive.org/details/jrad2018-08-16.CA14) and the song/jams by the RRE are transportive (I can't find a site to send you to RRE, but seek them out!). These bands will charge your batteries! We celebrated our 38th anniversary out there, and heynow, it was 40 years ago that Mary and I ran out to see the Grateful Dead at Red Rocks. We trip out to the Rocks as often as we can these days. "I'm gonna to sing you a hundred verses in ragtime, I know this song it ain't never gonna end." you know how the rest goes...... "You see the hut, yet you ask where to find shelter?"

10 years on this dead.net

It's been 10 years since I registered with this version of dead.net.Back then, it seemed fun and for the most part it still is! Sometime, probably during Dave's Picks 11 or 12 discussion/comments pages, I had noticed folks talking back to each other via these posts. This is community, in my opinion. And for the most part it is beautiful. Only a few times here and there, things get ugly with "taboo" topics of politics, religion, and some other stuff. Recently we were *invaded* by troll or trolls, and hopefully our wunnerful moderator marye and management got rid of these boring and harmful trolls. But what ever happened to DeadNetCentral? (DNC) Is this still active? I never was a part of DNC, it seemed too constrained for me, as I was a part of rec.music.gdead for many years, until it was invaded trolls and the rise of Facebook to the general public and other stuff scattered folks to other, newer, more modern social media. However r.m.g.d. still exists, but is nowhere is it like it was only a few years ago. !

I enjoyed I Will Fear No Evil, never read Farnham's Freehold. Something new to Grok!

Latest Listening Party

So, two of my favorite Dead songs segueing into one another from a legendary show. Hot damn! Had been worried about the silence over here since MUATM and the oddity of the box unveiling trailer not being put up for 3 weeks after the fact, even though it was on youtube several days after, but today Dave was looking at me when I checked my phone with a new video poppjng up in my notifications. Get home and get to listening after watching the video, and musically pretty straight forward WRS (ie, quite lovely and powerful), but some blown lyrics by Bob, with Donna saving the upcoming chorus, and a straight forward Let It Grow section that winds its way pretty quickly into Wharf Rat. Pretty early on, I start to suspect that Bob blew those lines because of the proximity to Veneta and the Pranksters, and Jerry's very unusal delivery of Wharf Rat is quite like the Stella Blue from Dave's 24, which again, many of us thought perhaps Bertha and Stella were the way they were due to Jerry taking part early, since he knew they'd be dosing at Kesey's benefit. I imagine that's what's going on here, too. And probably why this show is legendary, they probably added some new ideas into songs, this Wharf Rat is unique. The drop into the Fly Way bridge is pretty quick and strong from Billy, and the ending jam are different. Good versions of both songs, kinda quirky. Really pumped for the Box! Gonna download the Bird Song and blast it next! PS: re: Mick Taylor: best guitarist the Stones ever had.

mhammond12

I'm writing fiction set in France in 1348, the onset of the black plague. Started looking for history of the 14th century and realized there's not a lot there. I read A Distant Mirror, which was okay, but got hipped to Sumption through Amazon and took a chance. Glad I did. For what its worth I bought the book at the local store. I fear bookstores are going the way of the hardware store and the record store and don't want to see them gone. It's probably in vain. ____ Jamming Minglewood from 3-31-88 right now. Would love to see some '88 released in the Dave's series.

First Five Dead Shows (ahem)....

....not as lucky as nitecat, but here they are#1 4.13.86 Irvine Meadows (final I Don't Need Love, so there's that. Seventeen years old. I had no clue what was going on. Up to that point in my life, I was deep into heavy metal. Wasn't too impressed with the music tbh. Spent most of my time people watching. Discovered hippy chicks are cute. Box encore. Everyone was flipping out. Something is afoot at the Circle K) #2 7.26.87 Anaheim Stadium (In The Dark was a hit. I said to myself "I remember these guys!" View The Vault 1, Dylan, my first Shakedown Street.) #3 11.15.87 Long Beach Arena (1st show dosed. My buddy and I never actually found or sat in our seats. Just wandered. They played Morning Dew. SOLD! His name was Kim Blanchard. Lost track of him. Hi Kim if you're reading this!) #4 4.23.88 Irvine Meadows (Ate too many mushrooms in the parking lot with my then girlfriend. We both threw up in between the cars, then BOOM! Heaven's Door encore. It was good. I liked it so much that we went back for....) #5 4.24.88 Irvine again (another Box. I'll take it) ....1989 was my heyday. Saw them 12 or 13 times. JGB once. I just said fuck it. I'm catching these guys as much as I can. And I did. Never did catch a Dark Star though. Booooo.... Got big into taping then as well. At one point we had six tape decks patched together. The 2xSpeed tape option was always on the table. So was Dolby C. But no one bit. Remember that? I still have all my tapes. I'm not a hoarder, I pinky swear. I miss Jerry.

First/Last Five

First Five Shows:6/24/91: Sandstone 6/28/91: Mile High (no, did not stay for second night at Sandstone--didn't understand how this game was played back then) 9/4-6/91: Richfield Last Five Read: Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test (don't know why it took me so long to get to it; maybe because I never had much access to LSD?)

first 5

Providence rhode island 4/20/83SPAC 6/18/83 Portland maine 10/18/83 Rochester ny spring 84 SPAC june '84 Not that I realized what I was hearing at the time, but my first two shows had Morning Dew. I was also at the one in Augusta 84. Pretty lucky. I picked up my pace in '85, but my last show was in Hampton Spring 87. I think Charlie3 and I were at some of the same shows. People talked about Steve Goodman recently, there is an album called, Tribute to Steve Goodman, a notable album, among many things, a duet of Bonnie Raitt and John Prine singing Angel from Montgomery.

My first five Dead shows were:

6/16/1974 State Fairground Des Moines Iowa6/4/1977 The Forum Inglewood CA 6/7/1977 Winterland San Francisco CA 6/8/1977 Winterland San Francisco CA 6/9/1977 Winterland San Francisco CA I didn't count attending Jerry Garcia Band on 11/23/1975 at Macky Auditorium, Boulder, CO. with this five, but seeing the JGB did help me during their 'hiatus' (Cousins- my wife and I were at that NYE 1977 Winterland run as well, what a great finish to a remarkable year! And Deadheadbrewer the '91 Sandstone was one of my last five ;o{, but it does give me a smile to realize I shared shows with brothers and sisters here.) "Teachers open the door, you must enter by yourself."

Last Five Dead shows....

#1 5.21.95 Sam Boyd Silver Bowl Las Vegas (my only birthday show)#2 5.28.95 Portland Meadows (Chuck Berry!) #3 5.29.95 Portland Meadows (Chuck Berry!) #4 6.03.95 Shoreline #5 6.04.95 Shoreline ....then the bus stopped, and I got off.

1st 5 GD shows

- 3/31/73 - NRPS opened in Buffalo - still a newbie @ this point but loved Tennessee Jed and of course Casey Jones encore with big, puffing locomotive on stage - 7/31/74 - DaP2 - What can I say? In the 16 months since my first show I got completely immersed / dosed and was firmly on the bus. This show speaks for itself, although it also included Seastones which did not make it onto the cd. I still stand by this one as my all time fave that I attended - 8/2/76 - Great outdoor show @ Colt Park in Hartford. Would love to see a release here. Great times after the hiatus - 4/23/77 - This is a show that flies under the radar but a great time was had by all - 5/11/78 - DP25 - The band was heavily dosed and surprised us all with wolfs masks on as they encored Werewolves of London. Remember, this was way before the internet so we had no idea they were doing this tune on this tour Rock on
