"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.

Football(what you call Soccer), is indeed the most popular sport on the planet, except in the US where most people think it's the most boring sport. I grew up with it, so I appreciate it; on the other hand, I've been living in the US for 40 years, and I still don't get baseball; I do love American Football(which is played mostly with hands...)and basketball I'll take France

That pumpkin, though

You and me both. I'm glad someone else knows. I told that story to all friends and family that visited. Nobody believed me so I had to bring up news articles. Ithaca is definitely weird. But legitimately enjoyable.

Cost/regret

Hi All! Its been a while since I last commented (work and life being crazier than usual) but I have been following since the DaP 26 page. As SkullTrip, Charlie3 and JiminMD have said, and I completely agree, the cost of regret greatly outweighs the price. I said this 23 years ago and it is still true today: After Jerry checked out, one of the main things to keep things going was/is the recordings. I traded tapes relentlessly once I got I on the bus and even more so after Jerry died. Once I figured out how to download and burn CDs that was the next thing. Looking at it all now in 2018, Dick, Dave and the whole crew have given us a vast amount of releases. In terms of releases I passed on some, especially some of the boxes just due my financial status at the time. I passed on FW 69 and the Warlocks because I got complacent and they sold out, even though the Warlocks took forever to sell out. E72, I managed to piece together ala carte thankfully, yet very pricey. However I also passed on both Spring 1990s and the 30 trips due to money issues at the time they were released. I am kicking myself for passing on most of these (30 trips not so much). For this release, I had just bought some new camping gear and have a few other things coming up that I spent some money on, but I did not hesitate to buy it. Just like many of you, GD music gets me through life much better than I would if I didn’t have it. For example, I owe my masters’ degree to the Archive and coffee. For my current job situation, I have most of my shows on my work computer and they get played throughout the day. Again in 2018 so much GD music has been released that to me it is worth getting as much as possible into one’s collection. They way these shows are mastered, especially any of from the Betty Boards are just fantastic. I feel like these box sets are the pinnacle of these releases. At this point my yearly budget consists of about $100 for my yearly DaP subscription and about $200 for annual the box set.

World Cup

I am surprised that nobody is discussing the World Cup. After all, I am forever being told how popular the sport is becoming. I find soccer to be a lot like Phish. You are constantly told how great it is, so you make an effort to enjoy it. In the end, you wind up realizing that you just wasted an inordinate amount of your time. I'll take Spain.

Sell out? not for a while.

I seriously doubt this will sell out any time soon (but ya never know!). Red Rocks took forever to sell out and it was cheaper, and had higher profile shows. But I can understand them not wanting to under-produce this box after the Cornell Box shortage last year. But that was frickn' Cornell - even my mom was aware of the significance of that show. The highest profile shows here are 6/22/73 and 5/19/74, and most of my Deadhead friends don't even know these shows. Cash grab??! We've salivated all year for this anncm't. Lurking on a board that announces the release of box sets, then calling any anncm't a "cash grab"? .... right.....

Yeah. It is kinda cool that your school replays 5/8/77 on the clock tower chimes each year. A novelty at best. What we really want to know is how the pumpkin got up there. Cash grab? Not in the least. FTW was a total cash grab. This is fairly priced and geared towards more hardcore heads. Likewise, it will probably take a bit longer to sell out. Those who pass will regret it down the road. Just look at the prices for the 73 Winterland box. I really haven't listened to any of these shows other than 5/19, which is worth the price alone. This a cool release but I find it hard to believe that it will surpass E72 or FW69. For those newcomers contemplating how to allocate your purchase dollars, focus on E72 first.

The thought of a "cash grab"

Thinking about any show, 3 discs or more, $30, seems about right. Add extensively researched artwork and packaging, we are talking about high value. Take care of the whole box and it increases in value, should you choose to sell? Overall, this set meets all the criteria of a pretty good value I know people grumble about too much packaging, but it is quite obvious that Dave and company believe in delivering a bigger experience than just the music. (I think they are digging the Grammy nominations as well). The Dead have never been great at the "cash grab" game. The Who? The Stones? Zeppelin? Under packaged over priced rehashing of their catalogue with nothing new beyond the umpteenth remaster... At least the 2009 Beatles remasters were beautifully repackaged. Anyone else excited to get the Allmans' Cream of the Crop tomorrow?

Re: Fox and the cash grab

A cash grab? That's absurd. Think about this for a minute. If this was split we'd be paying more in shipping and thus costing us more money. They would have certainly cost 100$ a piece plus shipping. If we were talking about the E72 all music I might agree because it was the same price as the steamer. This is really nice priced box. As me and a couple of posters here have said Look at the price of the new Phish box set. That in my opinion is a cash grab and love Phish just as much as the Dead. If the plan was to box the MSG shows they should have never let us buy those shows on download and like me others have and paid for these shows. This is great box set that the majority of us can't wait for and is really priced perfect in my opinion. Sorry Fox your out of line like your most of your other posts on other releases. SpaceBro I feel you on the money situation. I'm working OT to pay for this. My boss after talking with was cool with. If it helps you out I'll mail you a flash drive after I get it if that helps but I know how dedicated you are in purchasing all releases.

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!

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.
