    "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.

    Been enjoying some Summer 1991 lately
    6/17/91- The "Dark Starred" show. Worthy of a vault release to be sure, although they are out of gas by the time Sugar Magnolia rolls around. Nevertheless, I love hearing Jerry play the instrumental verse to Dark Star in the second set. Amazing 6/22/91- Rock solid show. Perfect in all respect and some true "Good Old Grateful Dead". One of my favorite Shakedowns 6/25/91- Every head that I have ever met, who attended this show, talks about how emotional this gig is. Beautiful Comes A Time and other rockers galore (also worthy of a vault release). The 90's get no love.

    88 was the year it was super hot? I remember seeing the dust rising into the air as everyone danced during the show.

    Can only think of Dave's 16 as the "Scooby-Doo" show since I first read that on one of the other boards. Such a great gig. Admittedly, it was a sleeper release for me. The recording quality kept it out of rotation for a while, but one day I decided to rediscover it (with headphones on). Glad I did. It's been a repeat play ever since. And, as noted, disc 3 is something of a wonder.

    Download Series 1991: one of the few from that series I still listen to. Hot. GSTL Packaging: Beautiful. 1978 Box: Crazy-good. Phish: Saw them tons in the early 90s. In 1995 they went funk and picked up all the unwashed trust-fund kids after Jerry died, and I never went back. Trey in FTW: not who I would have picked, and the whole concept was a bit ill-advised. Citizens United decision: devastating to the 99%--send some money to those who are fighting to have it reversed. Be kind, rewind.

    Thin, about that Scooby Doo House
    It's funny, when that Dave's Picks 16 artwork was first revealed, the first thing I thought was wow, that looks like my college house; the second thing I thought was, it looks like it could be a house right out of one of those original Scooby-Doo episodes. Then I spent a good Hard 5 minutes thinking about my most important educational years, and wondered what it said that Scooby-Doo was the best comparison I could make. And then the weed brought me somewhere else altogether and I don't think I've thought about it again since. Well, as far as the clumsy packaging is concerned 4 gstl, rest assured everyone, the problem was managed appropriately and expeditiously, at least in my experience. I had scratched discs. Dr Rhino replaced them in satisfactory time. Actually more than satisfactory time, he got that s*** to me fast. He's the guy on the quality control side of things (and marye), and if you think about it, we're no longer getting CDs sent to us in abrasive sandpaper sleeves like road trips. I would be surprised if the new box set has any kind of issue like GSTL, with respect to the CDs not being securely secured. It's the Google translator man, once you say it it's on paper. I believe Dr Rhino and marye are the unsung heros in this machine. Come to think of it, the box cutter slices went away after we brought it to marye and Doc's attention as well. I did a little bit of a mix this morning. I'm on the drive now and in the middle of it. From Dick's Picks 23, Promised Land, bird song, Uncle John's Band. And from Dave's Picks 26, the second set fireworks from the Albuquerque show, sugar magnolia, the other one, Not Fade Away etcetera. I've dawdled here long enough, I'm now cranking it back up. Scooby Snack anyone? Chewie get us out of here....

    Yup - the GSTL box is unnecessarily large, ornate, and fragile. Designed more for the "best packaging" judges than the consumer (who paid for it and has to live with it.) Keithfan, put on your cape and get on this! And I love the "Scooby Doo house" reference re 3/28/73 DaP.

    It seemed like it never rained that summer and was 90 degrees every day in the Midwest. Lots of first songs played and second time plays. First Foolish Heart, Blow Away, Take You Home, Believe It, Blackbird, second Victim.... balanced out by a Stella Blue on the 22nd that is so painful to listen to, go ahead I dare you to listen.. Jerry just gave up on it.. enjoy your day... bob t

    How oversized is this PNW box?
    *Hey now! Please note that this is an oversized item. Increased shipping rates will apply. So how big is this box? The approximate dimensions of the Europe 72 Steamer box are: 15 x 11 x 7 inches. The approximate dimnsions of the 30 Trips box are: 14 x 9 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches. On June 16, 2018 - 2:31pm, Eyes43 posted images from an ebay seller's post (where did this ebay seller get these images?) If these are the images of the finished product, it would make it the same size category of either E72 or 30 Trips. At only 19 discs, I am thinking this box should be the in the same size category of the Spring 1990 and Spring 1990 (The Other One) boxes which I believe are about 12 x 12 x 4. I have neither of these physical box sets. So, how oversized is the forthcoming Pacific Northwest '73-'74: The Complete Recordings Boxed Set?

    Came across it on the So Many Roads box as well. Not sure, but my understanding is that it was an extended soundcheck the day before the actual show. Those who were there would know better. Regardless, it is one of the best jams the band ever did. If for nothing else other than its uniqueness. Never heard the band ever play anything else like it. The last 6 minutes or so are out of control good. I can just imagine the boys up on stage with big smiles on their faces knowing that no other band on the planet could come close to pulling it off.

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!

#01757 - Sound quality off the charts, so good. Overcomes the nicks and scratches of this release. A few dings on the box here and there, and my cardboard fish had three bends/folds in its head! But.....sound quality.....very nice.

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.
