"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.

Mule Skinning Dylan Fan

First let us know when next Dylan comes out. I'm still digging Bootleg V13, I love all the different arrangements of the songs. (I assumed you're talking about a Volume 14?) Next naming conventions. Anal also. I shorten Lovelight, to Lovelight. I also shorten It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It takes a Train to Cry, to It Takes a Lot to Laugh. Me and Uncle is Me & My Uncle. I agree as long as they're all the same. I shorten some names because the full file name can get too long for my backup program to handle. (something like - the collection/grateful dead/shows/yyyy-mm-dd - venue - city/soundboard/05 - It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry) Not sure what the length is, but you can see where length can come in. Doesn't happen often, but has happened. Also too some names are just too fuckin long (train to cry for one)! I've been labeling every JGB show ever done (feels that way for sure) and I've come to the conclusion Motown songs have the longest titles, half of which are always in parenthesis! Another odd naming convention I've noticed is on rap albums, a shitload of them always have an "intro" and "outro" tracks at the beginning and end of the album, odd, but whatever, just don't see it in other music genre.

..And Leave it On Revisited

Oh was going to mention a few listenings: Just got the Anthem release, I've sampled a few of the Winterland show but haven't dug in yet. That Gibson sounds heavy heavy. Big Miles Davis kick here lately, just finished his autobiography which is awesome and hilarious. Highly recommend. Listening to the mono releases of his first Columbia LPs currently. New Punch Brothers today, haven't listened yet. Not a huge fan of their records necessarily just as much as their talent, Chris Thile is fantastic. Randomly had 4/2/90 second set come up so listened through that into 4/3/90. Maybe was just in the mood for some 90s, but really enjoyed both. Never realized each of Jerry, Brent, Weir take a verse on that last version of Death Don't Have No Mercy. Sweet!! Rumor / pseudo-confirmation that this Fall's Dylan Bootleg Series will finally revisit Blood on the Tracks. They released an acoustic Meet Me In The Morning on RSD back in 2012 when BOTT was planned for Bootleg Series 11 (even said so on the sleeve) but got shelved for a few years. Love the idea, though I'm really curious what is in the vault for that one. The outtakes we do know are limited..several outtakes of the released songs, but Up To Me, left off the album, is a killer. Though, I had never heard rumors of that acoustic Meet Me In The Morning so this could get interesting... Listening to Dead & Co jam on Lovelight from 6/10/17 now. Or is it Love Light?

..And Leave it On

Excited for both this and DaP27, looks to be alot of quality stuff. Very glad to see the Dave's get outside the well-mined era. Not very familiar with '83 other than 10/21/83 Worcester from 30 Trips and for some reason I also have 5/13/83, Greek Theatre. I'm trying to remember why...first Hell In A Bucket? As for the PNW, I picked up Winterland '73 right when I was getting into the Dead and listened to it on my trip cross country to see Dylan in Seattle, so '73 and the Pacific Northwest have been inextricably linked for me from the get-go. I know we've discussed track labeling and ID3 tags here before, some funny discussion that doesn't make me feel alone in the anal retentiveness of my collection. On that subject, I am OCD that every iteration of a given song is named the same..having both Me & My Uncles and Me and My Uncles in the collection disgusts me. So current conundrum - Turn On Your Love Light or Turn On Your Lovelight? My go-to is always go back to the original recording or release of a song and see how it was listed at that time (this approach led to me changing 137 versions of Don't Think Twice, It's Alright to Don't Think Twice, It's All Right) and the original Bobby Blue Bland release in 1961 on Duke is in fact Turn On Your Love Light. But for some reason, Turn On Your Lovelight looks better to me, and I feel more used on Dead releases (though they are inconsistent). Any thoughts? Or I also understand not making eye contact with the crazy guy on the subway. My other request/question - Any good recommendations for a console CD player? I know it's not 1994, but my 300 disc Sony changer has crapped out. I'm going to take a look at it, but thought about finding another, maybe a 5-6 disc changer. I don't use the full 300 but thought more than 1-disc would be good for these sets. Surely someone here still listens to these quality CD releases on their home stereo. If it doesn't fit, you must acquit.

Sell Outs

We don't know how many subscribers there are on Dave's Picks, but production is capped at 18,000 per release. Based on the speed of sell outs i'm guessing there are between 15-16k subscribers, leaving only a few thousand up for grabs when they're announced. Again, that's a guess. There could be 17,800 subscribers. As noted, there are 15,000 units of the PNW box. I too am a little surprised its not sold out yet. I agree it's probably a combination of the fact it can be downloaded rather than physically delivered, combined with the higher (but by no means unreasonable, given the price per show) price point. I'm also shocked by the availability of the Summer '78 box set, given the quality of the shows and recordings, and the price point.

it's simple, roccodh...

A $30 DaP is easier to purchase than a $200+ box. The good news is that any true Deadhead can stop in and buy (3) 1973 shows and (3) 1974 shows just as fine as you please.

Not Sold Out

Can someone explain to me that DP27 sold out in a matter of minutes, but the Pacific 73 - 74 haven't sold out yet and on sale for a few weeks. I personally thinks these shows are gonna be awesome and I snatch up the box set as soon as possible. Peace

Wild Turkey et al

Hmmm.... thanks for the cautionary words Jim & Dennis. I should make clear that I was not advocating a course of action, just reporting on something that happened 45 years ago. Stevie Ray made well known Guitar Slim's song: Things that I used to do, Lord, I won't do no more. Ain't it the truth, that was a one timer. At the time, it seemed like a good idea given that none of us really drank hard stuff, we were barely adults with a small tent and a cooler walking into who knew what. We did not know 600,000 would show up. The best beers we could find at the time were from Germany, Holland and Scotland. But they were so expensive! Bulky! St Pauli Girl, Spaten, Heineken, MacEwans. We loved beer but craft brews were yet to come. President Carter does not get enough credit for sparking what would become craft brewing by signing new law in 1978 and it would take at least ten more years before craft brewing began to take off. It was illegal to brew beer at home in some cases! Just think about how far beer has come in the last thirty years or so. We thought dosing a bottle which no one would dare chug (101 proof, right?) would be a convenient way to keep track of and merge little tiny dots or pieces of paper, which were sometimes notoriously variable in strength. Bourbon is for sipping! Jim's comment made me chuckle, what could possibly go wrong? Whatever can, often does. The sheer number of people and the weather that Saturday was the biggest challenge. Fortunately we escaped unscathed. I will refrain from any further comments involving attitude or altitude adjustments by external means, other than music. However, as you might imagine, there was a lot of availability on site of unknown provenance and authenticity. Be prepared was our Boy Scout motto. Safety First! See the cover for Only a Lad, Oingo Boingo for more details...

Here Comes Sunshine 12/6/73

16 minutes, from the show that brought us the monster 43 minute Dark Star on the 2011 Road Trips Bonus Disc. I had two versions of this soundboard. One sounded really good, but had an audience patch at the end; the other one didn't have the audience patch, but it sounded extremely rough in the beginning. I combined the two at around 15:27 for one complete good sounding track (38MB 320kbps mp3 converted from WAV) Link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1t-DyrL7b9q6VvSw51B44caLcxxIw09mW

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

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!

....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...

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