    "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.

    Dylan live
    I saw Dylan live for the first time last year. He played Tangled Up and Blue and about five songs form the 60s. With some of them-Desolation Row particularly, I had no idea what song was being played until he started singing, the arrangements were so different. Well worth seeing, though. I like all the last 4 albums he made featuring self penned material. Love and Theft is the one I keep going back to. Amazing that The Orb are doing a 30th anniversary tour-they still seem like modern music to me. They distinguished themselves in my eyes through Steve Hillage's involvement. Incidentally, if anyone out there likes Steve's music, there is an incredible box set of his available called Searching For The Spark. All the great albums, live shows previously unavailable, outtakes, two books, posters-one of them signed, a badge and plectrum. Every home should have one.

    Vguy, that old Bryce
    Yeah, Bryce Canyon is a one of a kind place. Took my 91 year old mother in law there last fall, and she thought she'd seen everything until then. All of those Utah national parks are unique in their own way. I take hundreds of photos, but none come close to the feeling you get by being there all immersed in it. Bryce blows you away from the rim drive views, but only when you get down into the trails among the spires do you realize the true majesty of the place. Just got back from another trip to Sedona, which I consider the most beautiful small town I've been to, even up against places like Telluride, Aspen, Santa Fe and Laguna Beach. The red rocks there have a mood for every sun strike, cumulus cloud filled blue sky, and ferocious bolt of lightning wreaking havoc in the distance. Just drive 10 minutes and the view from another angle is completely different. Hundreds of miles of trails all over and just outside town too. Anyway, I picked up my PNW box today being held by my neighbor. In mint condition, and I looked at the playing side of every disc. No finger prints, scratches, gouges, or nicks. Listening to my second disc right now, so far so good. Hoping it all runs through that way. Box and packaging is as glorious as promised, and even the wife with her architect's eye was impressed. Excellent sound so far, as many have said. This will undoubtedly be a main cornerstone of my '73-'74 collection, and will get a lot of play. No matter how many times I try (and I have), the '73-74 with all of its clean and polished precision can not quite move me like '68-'72, with its raw and rough energy, emotional peaks, and that undefinable "sound" that to me is the heart and soul of the GOGD. But it comes damn close, and I'm more than grateful for this release. I love the packagings of these box sets - yep, it enhances the experience for me substantially. Oh, and Jimbo - any movie with Gene Hackman and Delroy in it is ok by me. I think Delroy is an Oakland local around here, though I've never seen him out and about. Did see Danny Glover at an Oakland coffee shop midday one time when almost nobody else was around though...

    I would love another 1969 release right about now... maybe something from those returned reels? Or October 1972, we've never had anything from then (maybe the vault is utterly void there, though?) And of course October 1973 hasn't been hit since way back at Dicks #19!! Maybe there's no way to clean up that weirdness perpetrated on the Let It Grow of 10/25/73? -- damn shame if so...

    5/21/74 PITB download
    i think it has been fixed from previous posts.i would like to hear how the digital downloads sound to those that bought them. are the hi res flacs worth it, if you have the equipment to listen to it on? do the alac versions sound as good as the CDs ripped into Itunes? i know it has been asked before by Ziffle, but i don't remember seeing any follow up.

    5/21/74 PITB download
    Does anyone know if the download issues for the 5/21/74 PITB was resolved? Have been back and forth on wether to go with the downloads or the physical box. I usually get the physical product, but am mostly interested in the music and rip the discs anyhow. The product usually goes back in the shipping box and stored until I have a good place to display, even then it likely would not be all of them.

    I wonder how many of these have damaged discs. I bought the vinyl set, but haven't pulled the trigger on the box yet; after reading all the complaints here, I might just wait until I find one on Ebay from someone who has successfully ripped all the discs. It will probabaly take as long to sell out as the July 78 box(which hasn't sold out yet...)

    Money. It's a gas....
    ....one could say money attributed to Jerry's death. By the '90's, the Dead's payroll got so huge, that Garcia wouldn't take a break for fear of the employees well-being. Or so I've heard. A double-edged sword. The band went from a fine tuned machine to a broken one. I didn't consider that back then. I was young and just having fun. Hindsight is 20/20. ....still on vacation but back home now. Bryce Canyon in Utah is so breathtaking. It's gets the Vguy family's highest recommendation. Took a three hour horseback tour. Wake up to find out you are the eyes of the world indeed. Everyone needs to witness it in person. Pictures do not do it justice. In the back of my mind I kept wondering what it would be like while dosed. Sensory overload....

    re: Dylan
    I saw Dylan in 2015 or 2016; it was a very mellow show with lots of stuff from his last 4 albums and very few classics. Still very good, but different if the Dylan you know is pre-1980 (or even pre-2005). A lot of Frank Sinatra standards and covers. Since then he's opened up the setlist a lot more, with about 10 "Classic Era Dylan" songs per show. It's a good balance. If you haven't seen or heard Dylan lately, I highly recommend 2012's Tempest, which is probably my favorite Dylan album since Desire. Scarlet Town and Pay in Blood are two of the best songs he's ever written.

The discs are scuffed. Some worse than others but of the three that had marks all played through. One disc is really scuffed with two rather wide lines so I took photos and will request a replacement disc. For those who have yet to purchase this remarkable Box, I highly suggest you pull the trigger as everything about this release is just spectacular. The performances, the mix, artwork and booklet are impressive. Perhaps the best Wall of Sound releases to date. Too many details to list here but so far after hearing three shows it’s a must for any Deadhead.

Listening to this over the week and weekend, very excited to hear these re-mastered. Seattle is my adopted home too! And, Lyle Lovett at Chateau ste Michelle Saturday night, what a voice. Can someone tell us who ordered digital copies if the shows came with individual show cover art? I import these box sets as individual shows so each song doesn't have to have the day/location. Something like; Pacific Northwest '73-'74 Box Set (5.17.74 - Vancouver, BC) as the Album name. Dave et al can't you provide some quality images to download for our digital copies? If anyone has some please post. Hope you guys get the discs issues fixed. It's happened to me twice, and the good Dr Rhino always took care of it, just takes a while.

As luck (or fate?) would have it, Im in Portland for a few days, but have heard from reliable sources that the box has touched down in Chicago. Here's hoping there are no issues with packaging, missing or scratched discs etc. based on some of the comments below. But even if there are, it'll be ok. There are bigger worries out there, namely hurricane Flo. Here's hoping everyone has gotten put of there, and damages aren't too bad. If you're anywhere near the pat get to high ground and if you can, bring some dead music with you to keep your spirits up.

Unlike the 30TATS USB, no digital booklet came with the download. Just one jpg and 166 tracks. If I were to complain, this would be the complaint; that there is no book. Buy the download, get the book in mail. That would be fair. I thought a book should have come with the $600 USB bolt, but only a PDF was included on the USB. The profit margin on the downloads vs. the physical box must be...? eh not my department. I'll just stick to listening to the music....and all if have to say is FFFFFFFFfffffffffff. This PNW box is a monster! Sound quality is breathtaking. I am in love. Cheers!

Box #11763 arrived this evening. Physical status report: all discs present and accounted for, although #1 is very badly scratched and #11 is also scratched in several places. I didn't want to start my night on a bad note so I grabbed 6/26/73 Seattle and let 'er rip. I had a lot of '73 in my tape collection back in the day, but (for whatever reason) nothing after Kezar until the Fall tour, so these summer shows are brand new to my ears. I'm in the 4th week recovering from surgery and I'm still off work, so this beautiful box arrived at a perfect time to lift my spirits. My wife took one look at it and raised an eyebrow: "that's beautiful! It's going on the mantelpiece." She's over there now, moving soapstone boxes, Japanese pottery, Chinese chops, a brass puja vessel and other such objects to make room. It'll fit right in. :) This is the first GD box set I've picked up. I've been a Dave's Pick's subscriber for a few years but somehow to my everlasting regret I always get caught snoozing on the box sets. Not this time! Cheers everyone.

Quick inspection verifies all discs present and accounted for...although 2 discs appear to have some kind of minor scuff or funk on them, but doesn't appear to be a big deal. I'll know more tomorrow when I play them...can't wait!

Mr. Lemieux, I want to take a minute, or so, to thank you and your staff, for the job you have done with this box set and ones in the past. It makes it possible for "old" dead heads, like me, to get music that we would normally not have access to. The quality of Norman's work is...wonderful. The art work, on your boxes is beautifully executed. This new box is excellent. Again, thanks for your efforts bringing Grateful Dead music to all of us. Mr. Pete----------> aging hippie p.s. PLEASE give some serious consideration to a Greek box. I was never able to make any of these shows and would love to hear them before I can't!! p.s.s. You need to make the cd covers a bit bigger so they do NOT scratch the discs while being inserted. Nugs does an excellent job with their style of cd covers. Just a thought!

I do NOT understand the posted comment...Trolling? I thought my comment(s) were VERY clear. I "appreciate" the music Dave and his staff puts out for all of us. It is excellent quality with the occasional glitch. Nothing is...perfect.In NO way was I looking for.....any free stuff. At my age I have all the things I will ever need. If I started to listen to only my Dead cd's I would take me the next forty years listening eight hours a day! As noted...I would love to hear a Greek box...which I would "gladly" pay for!! Again...I do NOT understand the response posted on this site. Maybe I am must old and...stupid! Mr. Pete--------> aging hippie

Hot damn! It is unusual that I feel the need to write about each time I listen to a release, but this one is out of this world! Jerry kills Black Peter, GSET and RxRBlues keep the set chugging along, (especially GSET - sounds like it's close to going off the rails, but they keep it just on this side of chaos...) and then the jam suite! What an incredible chunk of music! Last night, I was grooving hard, then Phil's bass solo comes on. At first, I'm very excited, then a little ho hum... then, AS SOON as I thought that it was time to move on, out comes Jerry for one of the coolest things I have heard in a long time. The Phil/Jerry jam is just gorgeous Space, then in comes Keith... finally the whole band, and it all ends up in a jam that reminds me SO MUCH of 70 Miles Davis. Killer! And I haven't even mentioned TOO>Wharf Rat! What a show!!! I agree with many here that feel like Dave sometimes goes a little above and beyond with his hyperbolic enthusiasm for these releases, but I feel like his SeaSide chat about this particular show is just exactly perfect. All of the highlights he mentions are truly HIGHlights! I'll spare you all an update on disc 4... some guy on the internet wrote something along the lines of "Disc 4 of PNW box, PNE73: Sugar Mag, Casey Jones, Johnny B Goode - worst disc of GD ever?" Well, after hearing the first 3 discs of this mind-blowing box set, I'm betting I'll be wowed by those three tunes as well. Peace

Ignore them. You're right they're trolls. There's an insular group of hypersensitive know it all posters here who need to mess with people. The good folks at Rhino take good care of us and I appreciate their work greatly. Not feeling the need to hyprcritically analyze every note. I feel the same about a Greek box. For me though I was lucky enough to see every one. Enjoy I sure do. .....Another aging hippy

This wonderful piece of art arrived at my place yesterday: from USA to Switzerland in just two days!Anyway I had to pay custom charges, the equivalent of about 44 US dollars. So in the end the box costed me about 300 US dollars. But I'm happy with it. Thank you Dead.net and thank you Rhino!

I'm not sure where folks come up with the number of box sets ordered / remaining from what seems to be their order confirmation. I just ordered mine the other day & the 1st 5 digits of the "order number" are 13740. I don't know if that's right for with some other box sets I've noticed dead.net puts a banner on there saying something like "less than 5,000 left". Anyways, there you have it if indeed my order # means 13,740 have been ordered.

It has nothing to do with order numbers. It is simply a question of seeing how many you can put in your shopping cart before it refuses to take any more. If you can put 13740 in your cart but it refuses to accept 13741, this suggests that there are 13740 left. Tip: Do NOT hit the "Checkout" button.

box #14346 arrived in Berlin,Germany yesterday but delivery attempt failed since I was at work by noon...picked it up myself today at an UPS collection point 10 minutes from work and had to pay 51,32 Euros for taxes and so called "brokerage" with the latter being more of a ransom to get my box released... one bottom corner of the box is slightly damaged,disc #16 doesn't look pristine but plays fine... I'd rather prefer USPS shipping,arrives later but cheaper than 53,99 US$ for UPS shipping and handling fee as the only option for ordering and no "brokerage" upon arrival and might slip through customs... HAPPY though

I don't think the "trolling" comment was directed at Mr. Pete.

email said i would lose my account for inactivity if i did not sign in soon. i'm pretty sure dead.net does not save payment information, but i just wanted to give everyone a heads up, so they can prevent their account from being hacked. -----

Will we ever know what's in the inner box in the box? It could be a dead cat, but only direct examination will reveal that.

Man O'man.... You guys really outdid yourselves with this boxed set. Unbelievable artwork and fantastic quality. I participated in both the '73 & '74 concerts at Hec Ed pavilion, wall of sound and all. I'm walkin', I'm talkin, and proud that I can still remember those (and many other) Dead moments! Thank you so very much.

Just received my package, here in the UK, and it only took around a week, which is fantastic. Had to pay Customs and VAT, but still well worth it. Some serious listening coming up over the next few days.

This box sounds so fucking beautiful. "Looks like Rain" from Portland 73 makes me melting away, and now "Box of Rain" (while it's raining outside, even thundering) seems to be even prettier than the one from Vancouver.The songs are mostly played quite slowly, but that makes me listen much more to the details and the finesses. I wasn't blown away by Phil's bass explorations (Vancouver) and found "The Other One" much more interesting. Keith's piano playing stands out on almost every track. "They love each other" is surprising at every corner and it's got that funny rhythm. Well you can't really describe music, you have to listen to it. I had to laugh about how many customers are into numbers (of the box). If you're into the music, what does it matter? Enjoy, enjoy, Yippie!!!! RNB

They also have our names. Looks like a hack job. I have sent a PM to MaryE asking her to look into this. The website is also sluggish right now for no obvious reason. I also don't think the "trolling" comment was aimed at Mr. Pete. I do have a good idea who it was aimed at, but I don't think it was a reasonable comment bearing in mind the content of the post it was probably aimed at.

I'm with mhammond12. I don't think the trolling comment was aimed in Mr. Pete's direction. Seems like it might have been in response to an earlier post in the thread.

I got a nice even number, looks good on the ticket anyhow. I ordered back on June 12th, was surprised at how high the number was but I'm ok with it because it doesn't play music anyways. :-) Extremely Grateful, the music is incredible. The art and creation of the box is beyond beautiful, even the art on the inside of the box lid is amazing.

And it wasn't meant like a "troll" who stirs up internet fights. It was meant like trolling for fish - you know, to make a large sweep with a dragnet and catch what you can. Or in this case, trolling the message board crowd for a free box set. I'm going to get bombarded with rotten tomatoes for this, but....I find the audio in the 1973 shows to be a little bit "off". Jerry too low, flutteryness in places, Keith coming and going from parts of the show. Certainly not as good as DaP 16 and 21, or 30 Trips 1973, or really any 1973 show that comes to mind. I'm only one disc into show #3, but there's just some ooomph missing. I could change my mind, I keep listening. The vocals are very tinny in places.
