"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.

Er, no...

The internet has NOT made it to Europe yet. We still communicate with the "Albanian telephone", you know, the one where the two cans are connected by a thin rope and the trick is to keep it taut. Easier said than done on International calls. Success in the UK, Hippychic.

Number 1 super guy. Just laughed at your "some sort of high school thing going on comment". Pheromones in the air I guess. And not to be overly suggestive, but I would. I always regarded the 11/2/77 Truckin' as the best until 11/6 came along a couple months ago. Now I'm stuck. Baller, you're still voting 11/2? I have take the back2back test. A little off topic, but Pearl Jam jettisoning fans came up. Agree with Keith fan, the main issue I have with Pearl Jam is their last several albums have been extremely weak compared to the first half of their catalog. I also noticed they don't play that loud. I guess in their minds they want to protect people's ears but fuck that, I don't go to a rock concert to have my ears protected I go to have them blown out. Play that music loud and if I need to put cotton or earplugs in I'll do it. I admired Pearl Jam's fight against Ticketmaster, but it did make them difficult to see in the early days. My biggest complain is that stupid Eddie Vedder was too stupid to keep his stupid politics off stage. All bands have their politics but they don't all put them on stage. If Eddie Vedder had any sort of top shelf song writing ability, he would veil his politics like Pete Townsend dead in Won't Get Fooled Again and let's see action and many others. You cannot discern Townsend's political affiliation from his songs, but he clearly has plenty to say about politics. That's how you get it into a rock song, not by calling out politicians by name. Wearing masks and hanging effigies and all kinds of stupid shit like that. The worst part is he's another douche who doesn't bother to present an equal representation of each side. He takes what appeals to his emotion and runs with it. It's his right, but people find it tiring. Eddie can revel in his sycophantic relationship with Townsend and the Who, but he will never equal them. Unless he has some rocket sauce up his sleeve for the next 10 years, and for the sake of rock and roll I hope he does.

Fare thee well hippychic

And best of luck in the UK! Your treasure chest will await your return. For those who loved the Other One> Me & My Uncle> Other One with M&MU Jam in the second half on DaP 26, I was listening to the 2015 bonus disc that came from the Academy of Music shows, and while I love the main Pick's insanely timed M&MU> Other One segue, I hadn't listened to the bonus disc version in a long while. I did so this evening and was pleasantly surprised to hear a M&MU Jam in that Other One, it lasts about a minute from around 7:45 in or so, and instead of taking it into full cowboy territory it peters out after a bit, and Jerry starts the Other One riff on single notes, with Phil picking it up after a bar. I know there must be other Other Ones like that, I failed to notice is 3 years ago (which may be when I last listened), but that one will be added to my regular Other Ones. Not too dissonant and out there. After enjoying the ensuing Wharf Rat, I switched over to the Thelma bonus disc. That Dark Star is very nice. It gets dissonant and into feedback territory, but still very cool. Which reminds me, did we ever get confirmation from Dave that that was the Dark Star with "very unusual Phil activity" mentioned in the Dave's 6 booklet as a recently returned show?

Headed back to the U.K.

Nice meeting all you. I am headed out next week to make it big overseas. I was not expecting to go so soon, but opportunity is knocking. This really puts a left hand monkey wrench into receiving my box set on time :(I read the forums here for a long time before I joined the discussions and will try to keep up. I will hopefully have a moment now and then to say hello in the not too distant future. But it is goodbye for now there's much to do! Be nice to each other boys. Au revoir!

At a hotel restaurant....

....a man sees an attractive woman sitting alone at the next table. Suddenly, she sneezes, and a glass eye comes flying out of her eye socket. It hurls by the man, and he snatches it from the air and hands it back to her. "This is so embarrassing," the woman says, and she pops her eye back in place. "I'm sorry to have disturbed you. Let me buy dinner to make it up to you. May I join you?" He nods. The woman is a stimulating conversationalist, stunningly pretty, and the man finds they have a lot in common. He gets her phone number and asks, "You are the most charming woman I've ever encountered. Are you this nice to every guy you meet?" "No," she replies. "You just happened to catch my eye."

Dead not jettisoning their audience-LedDed

That observation caught my attention-and it seems to have been true. The Dead seemed to take their audience with them through all their stylistic changes. It surprised me, when I first started listening to them. The difference between "Live Dead" and "Working Mans Dead " is massive-even allowing for the fact that the former is obviously live. But "Skull and Roses" is also completely different from "Live Dead", and I used to wonder if they lost and gained fans during these transformations. They probably attracted a lot of new, less radical fans after 1970, with their more country flavoured/traditional music-maybe a lot of their original fans faded away at that point-but this isn't reflected in anything I have ever read. Going on into the 70s, "Blues For Allah" again seems to have no connection to anything they released earlier. The only other person I know of who radically changed their sound and approach to such an extent in the 70s was David Bowie. Phil head-I'd pull the trigger... this second! I don't know how many are left, but this looks like one of the all time not to be missed releases.

Sticking to my guns

Dark Star- Yes, I still have 11/2/77 Truckin as my favorite over 11/6. Guess it's a "first love" thing. What's interesting about DaP 25 is that I wasn't excited about that release at all, I thought that I had my fill of 77 after GSTL came out. But I find myself reaching for that show all the time now, I really dig it. In Dave I trust.

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.

Alain-patience-Dylan

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...
