    "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.

    The Silos
    The Silos were led by Walter Salas-Humara, although I don't know if the band is still active. I always thought they were an undiscovered treasure, unfortunately for them. They were one of the 1st bands to mine the Alt-Country genre in the late 80s, and for some reason reminded me of The Band. I actually think Alt-Country is more 'Country' than half the music played on Country stations. An undiscovered recent gem, for me anyway, is a band called 'Hiss Golden Messenger' whose 5th album, titled 'Haw' was played everyday by me for a month; it's been a long time since an album took me completely by surprise as this did. They're an acoustic based quintet from N.C. (according to Wiki). I implore my fellow Deadheads to please check them out, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

    free speech, sorry folks, I just have to
    It's ironic that a person who has, in the past, insulted, belittled and tried to intimidate others on this site for their opinions could possibly think that he knows anything about free speech or has the knowledge to lecture anyone about it. This is the same person who has insulted many here for thinking for themselves. He took punches in the 60's? Sure, right, let me use a term that he and his type are all so familiar with "fake news". If he was there, which I highly doubt, I don't believe he would have the guts to take it to the street. To sum it all up, or as Groucho said and he alluded to no one wants him as a member of this club, he invited himself, pushed his way into many conversations and bullied the poster for having an opposite opinion of his. His childish remarks and insults only affirm my conclusions. This is what 45 has fostered in this country, lost souls who have nothing but hate inside who think they can bully and lie about everything to twist it into their own little my, me, mine world. Who hurt him? I suggest some time in the psychiatric ward, get those feeling of hate and distrust out, maybe it might help. When he passes by the junkies and drunks, does he spit on them too? Or does he say stuff like "get a job and a haircut"? I don't agree with anything that he says, but I will defend his right to say it, that's free speech. Now, call me some names or talk bad about my mother, which of course you would never say to my face. The reign of hate fostered by 45 will end and the pendulum will swing back to a more progressive, loving, peaceful way of thinking, I can only hope.

    ...by The Rain Parade-a great album-one of the best of the 80s, in my opinion. Their live album "Beyond the Sunset" is also worth checking out. I heard Green on Red and The Long Ryders- and The Bangles, but not the other so called Paisley Underground bands. I used to think REM were one of these groups-their first two albums Murmur and Reckoning seemed full of mid 60s mannerisms to me. Like an updated version of The Byrds or Love.

    This guy had a band called The Silos (started in the 80s in Florida) that was always making albums full of good songs well-performed with heart and soul, but bland in that Tom Petty-sorta way. Lately he's doing a lot of small albums that are very pleasant on the ear.This song mentions "Dead tapes'... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJwhzDybwGk Enough outta me.

    The Bangles
    Ah, Vguy, you ain't alone. Different Light and Manic Monday were my introduction to them. But later I grew to prefer the more pure 60s sounds of All Over the Place.If you don't have the recent 81-83 compilation called Ladies And Geltlemen... The Bangles!, you should. Covers their garage/punk beginnings nicely. Even their 90s/00s re-union albums are pretty good. They were part of an L.A. early-80s scene nicknamed The Paisley Underground. I discovered most of the other PU bands a few years later (The Rain Parade, The Three O'Clock, The Dream Syndicate, and the more proto-Americana stylings of Green On Red and The Long Ryders). If you don't know them, get thee to YouTube or Spotify whatever! My fave bangles tune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUcmKrud6j8

    Bullying
    That would depend (as so much does) on your definition of bullying. Nothing I said supports physical attacks as does by inference the person who suggested policing trolls. But if you're suggesting that someone be put in charge of hurtful words I think you already know the answer. It would quickly decend to what it already has as I've already mentioned. Safe spaces puppies jack booted thugs imposing their anti speech views on others are unacceptable. There are already about 190 countries that do it that way vs.1 that doesn't. This isn't my position but if I want to blockade Russia for its actions in the Crimea, eastern Ukraine or Georgia in the US it is my right to say it and because someone gets butthurt because they don't like it too bad. As you might imagine way back when I was young took a lot of real bullying. Over the war race the issues we are currently debating paraphrasing Tom Petty hitting me didn't make me back down. My only regret in this discussion is I let myself get caught up in the moment and said things in a way that wins no one to my side. I have had no regrets nor have I currently in supporting true free speech Without free speech the tiny minority who spoke up against slavery wouldn't finally be heard after 40 years of extreme violence. The working man wouldn't have attained some modicum of rights Civil rights wouldn't have moved the ball even further closer to what will hopefully become true racial equality. Gays wouldn't have advanced from Stonewall to marriage equality. While what the goof ball whose actions started this off is by no means the moral equivalent of the above without protecting his speech, no, more importantly believing in his right to say it the above might not have happened at the least taken a lot longer. I am proud of the punches I took 50 years ago in the name of free speech. In order for someones words to hurt me I've got to care what they think. I don't

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.
