"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.

Scratched discs

Wow! Really disappointed to spend all of this money and receive scratched discs. How does this happen? Makes you really not want to buy cds anymore. I have bought every box set the Dead have put out with the exception of the giant Europe '72 box set. This is will be my last one. Disgraceful

Overnight Express or Express

I am not mistaken that I have never heard of this before. I'm pretty sure I'm right about that. I am sorry for your woes.. it will come. I believe someone else posted here if you paid extra for 'expedited delivery' you can probably get that refunded. I honestly have never heard of this language being used before by dead.net and it's not on my email. I would follow Bobs advice and if you paid extra for expedited shipping ask for a refund on that portion of the costs. What else can you do at this point? Sorry for your woes, no offense meant. Not pre-ordering from Dead.net, especially for items that often sell out before the pre-order is over (not the case for this box, they are still for sale) often means if you want it you have to get it from eBay at double or triple the price. Once it sells out, it will be more expensive on the secondary market. Just my two cents. Edit: Also, check the UPS tracking. For most that ordered this, the first shipping notice was conservative and it arrived before that, the delivery date being adjusted all the while. I do not recall an overnight delivery option available when I ordered mine, just 'expedited' I understand your frustration, follow Bob's advise. He is a kind and wise man. On an unrelated note - does anyone have a backhoe I can borrow?

Money Money and Robbing Banks

Is it really good to have each and every Money Money perfectly remastered? ...made me chortle my drink. As for robbing banks.. One of the po-dunk banks a few miles from where I live was robbed a week or so ago and one of my friends works for the bank. ..which got us all talking about it. Fortunately there was a lawyer in the crowd. The plan is to borrow a backhoe from a nearby construction project and just crash through the back wall (where the money is).. have a bunch of raft guides nearby to grab as much cash as you possibly can in the next minute or three and get the hell out of dodge. If you demolish the building while grabbing the lute, there is less chance you will be caught on film and try grabbing a print from a pile of rubble. Makes perfect sense. None of this threaten the teller stuff.. Smash in the back wall after hours, after they are all gone, grab the loot and split. What could possibly go wrong? Now that I think about it.. there is one of those old WWII tanks sitting proudly in the town park about two blocks away from the local bank. We could fill it up with unleaded, fire it up, smash through the rear brick walls of the bank, cash and go and be home by dinner. That sounds more fun than the Money Money listening party. I guess what I was trying to say is there is a reason they only played it thrice. Apologies to all that love this song (I am sure there are plenty). It just never gelled with me. Again, apologies..

@Tali

Reach out to MaryE on this board via PM or email Dr. Rhino at Dr.Rhino@Rhino.com. They'll be able to help out and get this resolved. I've had issues over the years that were quickly resolved. Try purchasing the Europe 72 All Music Edition and only receiving one show... They corrected. I've also had bad disks in first May boxset and a couple of Dick's Picks without issue. I would not expect Rhino Customer Service to directly respond on these threads, but Mary will chime in from time to time. I was initially a little pissed at first that I signed up for Expedited Shipping and wasn't going to get it until today, but as Jim says what's a couple of more days, I'm just psyched they're releasing one of my favorite periods of my favorite bands after all these years. We are such lucky fans. I'm sorry for your loss and I hope it get's resolved to your satisfaction.

Scuffs 'N Scratches

Great name for a parody band. After reading about the disc issues, I'm afraid to open mine now. I got into show one last night in a dark room and didn't even think to look. Went back just now. Disc one has scuffs and small scratches. Disc 2 and 3 are okay so far. This is like opening the briefcases in Let's Make a Deal and hoping you don't get f**ked. Here it comes, night in the ruts.

Ordering Snafu's

I pre-ordered mine, don't have it yet tracking says tomorrow. It will come. I've been waiting for 45 years, what's another day. Perhaps better advice is don't trust what you might have been told from the customer service number. I have never heard of them sending a box set via Overnight Express. They are in the process of shipping out 10k of these this week. Sorry about your troubles, but relax a bit, it will come. If the order went through and they charged your credit card.. it will come. I have been buying CDs from GD Merch, then Dead.Net directly since One From The Vault in 1993. I have had a couple CDs with the box cutter blues, a couple scratched.. all were replaced. I am whole and have a bunch of good music to sooth my aching bones. I wish no one ever had trouble and there were no snafu's. I was bummed when a couple of my orders had problems. But they made good on every single order (so far).

Buyer beware! Never pre order from dead.net!

I have been given the complete runaround re: the pre order I paid for months ago. I’ve bought many things from dead.net in the past and I would now advise any deadhead to avoid that at all costs. I purchased this pre order weeks and weeks ago, and didn’t hear anything about my shipment till this weekend. I heard it ‘should’ be out by end of day Monday. I was then told it was shipped, and given tracking numbers that quite obviously showed it didn’t get shipped for days. Now, dead.net claims they sent my package as ‘overnight express’ yesterday. UPS says it is a ‘scheduled delivery’ of next Monday. The 17th. I’ve sent multiple emails to customer service and have received no help! For a pre order of several hundred dollars (both the box set and the Lp). I still have no idea when I’ll get it, and dead.bet additionally lied about the shipping they would use in their email. Don’t ever pre order from dead.net, they will treat you horribly for your troubles. I have friends who purchased this set after it came out and have received it before dead.net even bothered to *try* to ship mine. I’m still waiting for some sort of response here - getting a release multiple weeks late isn’t exactly a preorder. What’s the point. I’m not going to be purchasing any more subscriptions or preorders from here anymore unless this somehow gets resolved...

Box set

...I don’t think a lot of people will be receiving the box set by this Saturday. When it does arrive - ‘people get ready’ for something far superior than most fans/critics anticipated! ;) This is a beautiful work of art, in every aspect. Good ol Grateful Dead - 6 unreleased shows from an amazing part of the Grateful Dead recorded history & era! Primo, my sisters & brothers. :)

@VGuy72

Which route do you take to get to Bryce? Do you take the road to Hurricane and then through Zion to Mt Carmel Jct? Amazing drive if that's your route although just driving through Zion is rather pricey when you pay the park entrance fee...rather envious...oh also...are you camping or staying at Ruby's Inn or some other lodging?

Monday

nonexpedited delivery notice received. Scheduled Delivery: Monday, 09/10/2018 , By End of Day

ErickandJenn

Did you pay for regular or expedited shipping?

Re: R&R

I'm a big fan of Bryce and Zion. Envious indeed.. Have fun VGuy, play Dead. Mushrooms optional.

Stunning photograph

I also thought of the times I would visit my parents, up to about 5 years ago. It was a 5 and half hour drive from the East coast of England, where I live, to the north west where they did. The scenery wasn't as beautiful as the one depicted in the photograph, but it was interesting enough how it changed from the flat East Anglian terrain to the wild and wonderful Yorkshire Moors. It was, of course, a great opportunity to shut out the working world and listen to a Dead show uninterrupted. I would often start with something else, and then after an hour or so I would slip a Dead show on to carry me home. My friends would often assume I dreaded this long journey-I loved it!

Monday the 10th by end of day

I think UPS is delivering this one compared to how Dave's Picks get delivered by the US Post office... Sound right??? thanks bob t

Regular shipping

No tracking info

Not yet...

No shipping notice and order status remains 'Not shipped'. Hardly an issue as it will take weeks to get here, including a stopover at Dutch customs so that taxes and duties can be levied. That's just the way it is.

@bob t

Yes, due to the size and weight of this set, I am sure it will be delivered by UPS. I received a shipping confirmation, but the tracking number doesn't work. Nothing new for Dead.net orders.

Mine says...

that I should have it by the 12th...it's coming UPS but I live inside of Grand Canyon National Park so UPS packages are delivered to a warehouse here where everyone goes to pick up their items...luckily my Wife works in the front office there and will call me when it's delivered...it just left Tennessee heading West.....and don't forget you have to copy and paste the tracking number into the UPS website for updates

You see I got my list out

Top 5 Singles Edition: Anticipation- Carly Simon Can't Hardly Wait- The Replacements Don't Keep Me Wonderin'- The Allman Brothers Band Sitting, Waiting, Wishing- Jack Johnson Please Mr. Postman- The Marvelettes Bonus track: The Package- The Box Tops

Shipped

Mine should be here tomorrow according to tracking info,,, guess I paid extra.

Bryce....

....leaving Vegas early. Driving through Zion. Probably spend a couple of hours there, then moving to the Mountain Ridge Cabins & Lodging in Hatch, Utah. (you can look them up. Seem pretty nice). Bryce is 20 miles from there. With the family. No mushrooms :(

Family Friendly

Bryce is higher up, and cooler.. I wouldn't say more scenic but certainly more colorful and surreal/trippy. Zion is big, especially vertically. It contains some really big walls.. That being said, it is perhaps more hike friendly and there's a couple cool creeks that meander through the giant cliffs and canyons. At least that's my (often failing) memory. I'm sure you will have a blast.. Zion has some family friendly, quick hikes that might serve to break up the drive, loosen up your legs and push you completely into vacation mode. https://www.citrusmilo.com/zionguide/recommend.cfm Again, have fun.. play Dead. Man.. I am really stoked for this box. Unless you paid for speedy shipping and considering this is likely not a small box.. I bet they went economy ground. That being said, if you live right next to a close regional UPS hub.. you might get this much sooner than the estimated arrival date. I bet we start getting stories of deliveries soon. Super stoked for this box, and did no sneak listens. Did someone say "possibly the best Bird Song ever performed?" Oh.. mama.

Ask For Refund If You Did Not Get Expedited Shipping

I paid for expedited shipping but when I got the shipping notice, it was shipped UPS Ground. I emailed dead@wmgcustomerservice.com to ask for a refund of the difference. If this happened to you, you should too.

5/5

studio1- Exile 2- Quadrophenia 3- Physical Graffiti 4- Close to the edge 5- London calling live (excluding dead shows ) 1- Live at leeds 2- ABB- at fillmore east 3-ufo-strangers in the night 4-Nirvana unplugged 5-wings over america

Shipment

I received notice last night, but so far UPS does not recognize the tracking no. so I don't think it has actually left KY. yet Rock on

Sales

I hate to sound like a broken record, but if downloads are available, ALL sell outs will take MUCH longer then you might think Rock on

Downloads

Good point hbob. I bet that pushes it well into next year, much longer than expected.

stop gap

While we wait for 73/74 treasure trove...I happened to stumble across Jerry + Merl Live at the Record Plant 1973 in Sausalito on iTunes. Released 8/31/18 for $7.99. Previews sound smooth and mellow. Never heard Jerry do "Georgia On My Mind" - sorta curious. Doesn't appear to be on sale anywhere else. Google has very little info on this session other than it was recorded for KSAN radio back in the day - Anybody ever listen to a boot? Thanks!

Expedited Shipping

Tell them to just refund full ship charges. I did that with GSTL box last year and they were very accommodating. You might want to also try rhino/dr. rhino, as the deadnet customer service is not the most efficient. I think I used rhino because of the big deadnet site crash when GSTL was announced and ended up ordering through the rhino site. Just give them the order number. Expedited to me in Colorado means UPS overnight. Waiting for the tracking number to show up in the UPS system, when they separately send an email telling me what time window to expect delivery. Expedited doesn't mean it gets there faster than release date, just fewer vehicle changes, so less bouncing around and dislodging discs. Shipping box isn't beat up when it arrives and everything inside is just exactly perfect. Looking forward to this set.

Expedited Shipping Follow-up

Disregard the previous. That was then; this is now. Mine also is going ups ground, delivery on 9/11/18. Not what I paid for, but predictable, I suppose. In fact, with many businesses these days, it seems to be the standard to over-promise and under-deliver. Fortunately, AMEX has a pretty good billing dispute opreation if the need arises. I'm sure I can find plenty to keep my ears occupied until then, maybe some of my seven: Lewisburg Pa 4/14/71 (with New Riders, Jerry on pedal steel) Spectrum, Phila Pa 9/21/72 Spectrum, Phila Pa 3/24/73 RFK Stadium, Wash DC 6/10/73 (with Allman Bros. Band) County Coliseum, El Paso Tx 11/23/73 Tower Theatre, Upper Darby Pa 6/24/76 Civic Center, St Paul, Mn 7/3/78

Shipment

Actually my box is coming out of Nashville. It has been updated and shows Tuesday as the golden day of delivery! I am PUMPED! Rock on

and now...

it says UPS Sure Post which usually means UPS starts delivery and the final step is handled by USPS...will be looking for a locker key in my mail box starting next week

RIP

Burt Reynolds

Jeez

This thing weighs over 8 pounds.

"8 pounds"....

....whatcha talkin about Willis?

Bandit

I have grown up with Burt Reynold's movies in my life. Most were watched during the 70's at the one screen local CORNET Theater in Audubon NJ. Here are some of my favorites: 1972 "Deliverance" - made Burt a star 1974 "The Longest Yard" 1977 "Semi-Tough" 1977 "Smokey and the Bandit" No.2 highest grosser of the year. No.1 was "Star Wars" 1978 "Hooper" 1980 "Smokey 2" 1981 "Cannonball Run" 1982 "The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas" - The end of Burt's hot streak with films 1992 "The Player" - flop 1996 "Citizen Ruth" 1997 "Boogie Nights"- his best role and best film of his career

Favorites...

Studio - Quadrophenia Live - Waiting for Columbus

Best live....

....surprised no one has mentioned The Name Of This Band Is Talking Heads.

Sail on Bro, Sail on...

I can remember watching Burt Reynolds on Gunsmoke playing the blacksmith Quint Asper...what I also remember was how my Mom drooled over him...

No shipping notice yet

Should I have received one yet or should I just be patient? I'm getting excited!!

Shipping Notice

I haven't gotten mine and haven't give it a second thought. Sometimes I get them the moment I get my delivery. What I am waiting for is someone out there saying they got theirs and how it sounds... (and how it looks). 8 lbs.. that's a lot of pressed cardboard. I bet it's double boxed. In Maryland, that will get you six months to a year. :D

Also...

Will this get delivered tomorrow with expedited shipping? Never bought a box set before.

Tomorrow

Tomorrow never knows. Hope so, fingers crossed..

My Expedited is arriving 9/11

Got the email notification an hour ago. It is what it is, was really looking forward to chilling out with this release starting tomorrow, guess I'm too used to Amazon and having their stuff delivered day of release. 1st world problem. Rock on! Favorite Lives One From the Vault Waiting For Columbus You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore Volume 2 - Helsinki Concert Babylon By Bus Yessongs Favorite Studios Lamb Lies Down on Broadway Darkside of The Moon Sgt Pepper OK Computer Aja

OK Computer....

....been here a looooong time. Never recall someone mention Radiohead. You got me Bob. I have that and haven't listened to it in years. Thanks for the reminder. One of the many reasons why I come here in the first place.

Shipping Notice

Oh hell yeah....Got mine, and originally it said by the end of the day Monday, but now that has been updated to end of day Saturday!!! I will be taking my 8 year old daughter to Taylor Swift Saturday night... go ahead...laugh if you will...irreplaceable family memories, plus Taylor is hot! And it appears I will be in full recovery mode on Sunday with the GOGD! Rock on Dead people, KCJ Edit: no I did not pay for expedited shipping

KCJ

Ha.. great post, I have a ten year old. I will be looking for your comments at swift.net Monday morning. Hope you have a blast. I think someone out there will get a copy tomorrow.. (at least that's my hope). Future rankings... reading the tea leaves. - FW69 - E72 box - 30 trips - PNW (Totem Box, whoo) - Winterland 73 - Get Shown the Light (some will put this higher) - Winterland 77 - May 77 v1 - Spring 90 TOO - Warlocks - Spring 90 - All the rest combined I expect some pushback on this, vitriol is welcomed.. but if so, have a better list. Have fun out there folks. Edit: Much like May 77 v1, there is more (and better) to come from this era. It's good to be the king.

No shipping notice as yet

Been checking my email compuslively, finally went to check order status. Still in processing. I also did expedited shipping, because Dead stuff usually gets to me later somehow, so kinda bummed that I sprang for the quicker shipping and yet I'm still being processed. I wish I could be like Jim and float like a leaf on the river of life, but I want to get it ripped tomorrow night before I head to practice Saturday, so I can throw it on the USB for the drive. I try to never ever play my cds in the car. Also, I made 2 massive ommissions in my favorites list: Graceland is my favorite, desert island album, and Stop Making Sense is one of the most impressive documents of live music and what goes into a show I can think of; just sheer brilliance from the "Hi, I've got a tape I wanna play" intro to Byrne doing Psycho Killer acoustic solo with a tape he made straight through to Crosseyed and Painless. Here's to hoping the box does arrive tomorrow after all, not banking on it, but nice to dream. In the meantime Meeting of the Spirits John McLaughlin and Jimmy Herring and their bands ripping Mahavishnu Orchestra is an amazing live album I just received on vinyl, with a cd, and a free download (in multiple formats, I did mp3, wav, and flac), a limited print, and sticker, and long sleeve tour tee, all for 75 bucks! Mindblowing music by 9 virtuosos ripping insanely complex stuff and everyone staying right together, no bum notes or straying from the beat, and getting extremely loud, but also softening the dynamics. I highly recommend seeking it out. You could also search for them on youtube, they webcast an entire show that had Jimmy's band The Invisible Whip's set, then McLaughlin and the 4th Dimesnion's set, then the combined Mahavishnu set. It was maybe at the Capitol in Port Chester. If you like guitar fireworks, it's a pretty good display.

Re:cub/Bandit

Hey man,The Player might have been a financial flop (I actually have no idea) but it is IMO the best movie Burt ever appeared in (with Boogie Nights a close second). It's a very good Robert Altman film that basically makes fun of the movie industry.

Sweet patience

In France, the box will reach me a little later. And unfortunately, I will not be at home to receive it, because I will be gone on vacation for three or four weeks. Life has taught me to wait, and I know beforehand that I will be very happy to come back from vacation.

Shipping notice?

As of 5:20 AM, September 7th, 2018, I have not received a shipping notice email. On the humorous side here at dead.net in years past, I remember some people who got their goods several days before they got a shipping notice email. It was more like one or two after they got the goods. I find that to be ironically funny.

An agreeable list-Jim-Stop Making Sense

I would agree with your rankings of the box sets, overall. Mainly that you place the pre 1974 shows in the top bracket ( the best shows in 30 Trips are surely the 1966-1974 ones), the 1977 ones taking up the middle position, and the 1989 onwards propping up the list. Having said that, I haven't got the Fillmore West 1969 box-although I have heard the shows often enough- or the first 1990 box set. Consequently quite pleasing that you place Spring 90 TOO, the one I did get, two places higher than the first one, the one that I didn't. I would also agree with Alvarhanso that Stop Making Sense is a great film of a live concert. Its the only thing, apart from a couple of singles, that I've got by Talking Heads-but its in a class of its own.

Sounds like an all win situation to me! I imagine the box will turn up here in England sometimes in October. I am normally very patient, and then , just when I start to get worried, it shows up. And I have just been interrupted by the post man delivering the "Trouble No More" Dylan box set. That's me sorted for the weekend.

I can't believe it...

I actually got a shipping notice! Usually the stuff I order just shows up. Mr. Pete--------> aging hippie
