    "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.

    Gotta feel bad about the delivery hell some people, seems like overseas, are going through. I too was away for 3 weeks during the delivery period. Rather than risk a screwup like some have described I had a friend pick it up and hold it. I know not everyone is in the position to do that. I have to say that with very few minor exceptions ups has been very good over the years and I get quite a bit of deliveries. It was my turn this time for disc problems. 1st time and I get everything. This release seems to have a lot of problems. The autoreply said it would be a minimum of 5 days before they could truly respond they were so busy. Time to evaluate the plant they use

    Butch - Dave's Picks 2 sells for hundreds of dollars on eBay because it's the 2nd selection in a very limited series. Doesn't hurt that it's a pre-hiatus show, but no matter what show they chose, that pick would be highly in demand... That said, agree the 3 shows from 1974 included in this box are out of this world. If any one of them would have ever been released as a stand-alone dave's pick, it would be at or near the top of all of our lists. I've taken a few breaks to listen to other dead releases, but the vast majority of my listening has been spent on these shows. Truly love them.

    Please, no more UPS!Being on vacation when PNW was to be delivered to me, I got the UPS delivery center (in France) to keep my package until the day of my return. But, without informing me, a few days later the parcel was sent to Germany to the center of abandoned objects! I was furious! I then made several phone calls before someone told me that he will take care of me return the package. I wait…

    But I think the 1974 material on this box set blows away Dave's Picks Volume 2 from Dillon Stadium. Not just the audio quality but the performance as well. Yet Dave's Picks Volume 2 sells for a few hundred bucks on eBay. The audio on that show is just awful. It's as if they recorded the show on a normal bias tape instead of a high bias tape, if I was to compare the sound to the old tape cassette days. I can only assume the price tag has to do with its rarity. Dave's Picks Volume 1 of course also goes for several hundred, but that really is one of the best shows of 1977.

    UPS-and its goodbye from me.
    I am still engaged in online dialogue with UPS about why there were such big differences in shipping costs across the UK. Or was up until today. I got passed around from one department to another, from one individual to another, then back again-all politely asking for the tracking number and asking how they could help. I've run out of steam now-which is giving into opaque bureaucratic procedure-but I have got my spiritual development to consider-and this dialogue is going nowhere. I hope they don't use UPS again. I would far rather wait an extra 4-5 weeks for a delivery, with less/no shipping costs, than pay through the nose for one that arrives more quickly.

    For anyone who missed out on this and still needs it, you can still order this, you just need to go to the Grateful Dead Instagram, click on the picture of the Halloween mug, scroll down to show other products available, click on the picture of Dave’s Picks 27 and then click on view in webstore. My order went through, I thought it might be just a glitch in the system and would receive a message saying I would be refunded, but I received a shipping confirmation today. So it is there, I hope I explained that properly for anyone still in need. I was quite surprised and grateful.

Yessssss....got my order in first with no troubles, finally the pre-order Gods have smiled on me! Luckily without having to go through PayPal, I've also managed to secure myself some time saving up after the charges drop-off. And I scored a ticket for the Dead and Co. show in Hartford tomorrow, what a fantastic lunch break!

Very excited to see these getting the treatment. Wondering why the crucial 72' Seattle and Portland shows are not in this. Those 3 years(72', 73', 74') tell such a story and are the most coveted recordings in general. I am however very grateful...

And the option of multi year boxes opens up the possibility of a multi year MSG, or Boston, Berkeley, Alpine, Shoreline,(enter any city here) boxes. Dizzying.... the possibilities.

I'm always excited when a new release will be a great improvement over what I have. This looks like it will be that. I ordered both cd and vinyl. (don't tell the wife) On the ordering front,,, maybe it was so easy because it seemed to be on the downlow. I didn't (or at least haven't gotten one yet) an email announcement. Maybe they thought less splash would help "fans" get theirs before "ebayers". So, in the next 3 months, a new 45, Aoxomoxoa, DaP 27 and a box set! Wow, that large sucking sound is coming from your wallet!

This looks to be a spectacular box. I decide to have some desert and scored the t-shirt too. The sun gonna shine in my back door someday (in September). ah yes, that sucking sound from the wallet. It hurts, but it should heal by September. Peace all.. Thanks Dave.

I feel like Hawkeye in MASH when he ordered from "Adams Ribs". The food got to Korea and a supply sergeant asked about the coleslaw and chided Hawk for going thru all the hassle to get ribs and NOT ordering the slaw. I didn't order the shirt! Back to the order page. Suck, suck, suck, suck, suck,,,, my credit card is bleeding from the spanking I'm giving it!

$53.99 for shipping to Europe. It may be an oversize item, but for that sort of shipping price I would expect it to be delivered by private jet, not standard shipping. However, this is a not-to-be-missed item for sure.

The box must be Spring 1990 sized. Although I think that was still cheaper in shipping. Oh well, what's not to like with 6 amazing pre-hiatus shows. Now, complete a terrific year with a 60's DaP and a 90's DaP, I say!

So... I'd been patiently waiting for the box set announcement, and this DID NOT DISAPPOINT! These shows are all really good. The Vancouver show from 6/22/73 (my 3rd Birthday, I might add) is absolutely top-notch. To me, it's in the same conversation w/ Veneta, Cornell, Englishtown, Bickershaw and acoustic/electric shows at the Fillmore East. I cannot wait for this gem to show up on my porch! Peace, brothers and sisters. 10 days until Alpine Valley!
