    "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.

    Thanks, it’s always nice when someone can relate, especially adding your live experiences. As great as these SB recordings are, I’ve never heard one that sounded like what the show sounded like live in the venue, (usually in front of the mixing board, or even in the front row).... Used to be a musician in a past life too, and though great recordings can be made, dry, direct only or close miked instruments do not sound quite the same as the live sound in the venue. Of course mic tapes can be adversely effected by your position and the venue, your gear, technique and of course your neighbors...... JJEEEEEEERRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYY DAAAAAAAARRRRRRKKKKKKKKK SSSSTTTTTTAAAARRRR LOL always durning the most subtle, quiet, emotional ballad ; ) A&A: yasss that could really be the best for the DG “treatment”. Everyone always thinks of the PITB or Scarlets, which sometimes work, but playing especially, like with this box, can sometimes be a bit too much re-entry shall we say. A&A is perfect for that type of enthusiasm! Makes we want to go Fire up a hot one....... SUGGESTIONS? What’s the hottest Pre-Brent/Vince Around and Around folks?

    -Dicks picks 34 11/5/77- vinyl release :)
    https://shop.realgonemusic.com/products/grateful-dead-dicks-picks-34-6l… If the saga of the Grateful Dead is a long strange trip, then we’ve definitely been along for part of the ride! First, we brought you the entire Dick’s Picks series of live concerts on CD, all 36 volumes of it, many of them never before available at retail. Then we began putting out the Road Trips series, none of which has ever been in stores before. But now, dear Deadheads and Real Goners, the time has come to take the next step in our evolution as a key source for rare Grateful Dead recordings. It’s time to cross…the vinyl frontier. And we are hoping you will cross it with us, because we aren’t even offering this release to retail until you have had a chance—at a special low price—to snag all 1500 hand-numbered, limited editions of our new 6-LP set, Grateful Dead: Dick’s Picks Vol. 34—Rochester, NY 11/5/77! That’s right…we are finally putting Dick’s Picks on vinyl, and, boy, have we picked the right one. How do we know? You told us! This was by far the best-selling volume on CD from our reissue campaign. And no wonder, it’s from that magical year of 1977, with fiery performances of “Big River,” “Jack Straw,” “Deal,” and “Eyes of the World” powered by a particularly lively Phil Lesh. But for many the highlight will be one of the truly great performances of “The Other One” in the Grateful Dead catalog, 12 minutes of surging intensity and building crescendos. This Pick also included highlights from a 11/2/77 Toronto show, including a great medley of “Estimated Prophet”/”St. Stephen”/”Truckin’”/”Around and Around” (we’ve reconfigured the track listing to put all the bonus tracks at the end of the set for a seamless concert experience). Definitely a great place to begin our journey into the realm of Grateful Dead vinyl! Such a stellar performance deserves a great package with great sound. For this Real Gone release, we’ve enlisted David Glasser at Airshow Mastering to remaster the set for vinyl. David’s had a long association with the Dead; he mastered the soundtrack to last year’s Long Strange Trip documentary among many other projects. For lacquer cutting, we turned to John Golden at Golden Mastering. John has worked with artists as far-ranging as Jonathan Wilson, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, and Soundgarden among many others, and he is our go-to engineer for lacquer cutting. The test pressings were approved by David Glasser, the Grateful Dead’s resident audiovisual archivist David Lemieux, and Gordon Anderson from Real Gone. We’ve pressed the set up on 180-gram vinyl for maximum fidelity, too. And we even scrapped the first pressing because it wasn’t up to our quality standards. As for the packaging, we’ve placed all six LPs inside a hardshell box adorned with the original front cover and a custom back cover featuring a great shot of Jerry Garcia from the show. Inside, you’ll find a 4-page, LP-sized, full-color insert offering photos from the original package along with the original trippy graphics. And, as we mentioned before, each of these limited-edition sets is hand-numbered all the way up to 1500. This set will not be repressed once we run out of the 1500 limited edition copies.

    I appreciate the breakdown of all the factors that go to the Donna problem.If i may add: I went to many many 70's shows (and then some). Not once did she sound so off, or shrill, as the tapes make it appear nowadays. No one ever left a show criticizing Donna for her 'screams'. Maybe the live loudness of the auditoriums kept it at bay somewhat but nobody who was there was complaining at the time. And some of the best pure rock 'n roll girl screaming i've ever heard was on 'Round & 'Round !!

    Donna as back up singer
    I would agree that her greatest moments with the Dead were when she was singing back up. I am thinking particularly of the post retirement Looks Like Rains. Actually, all of the Dead were at their best when they were tightly enmeshed in the whole. Take any one member out of that whole and they always sounded-and probably still do-somewhat diminished.

    When I was younger I usually liked the screaming, but have less and less tolerance for it as years go by.That being said, let us remeber ... - Bob can be just as bad on occasion - They are hearing themselves through completely different equipment in a completely different context. I guarantee if you heard much of this live it would not be as prominent and thus not as bad...especially since she was often turned way up to try and make her be heard, which does not translate well to direct recorded tape. Just listen to E72 shows for a better idea of a well balanced vocal mix including DG. - Women often don’t have the same power as men to sing or yell loudly enough so they, and sometimes Bob strain or extend themselves which doesn’t usually sound good, You can even find examples of ol Jer too. (This is not sexist. Some women have a thin or higher range that is harder to be LOUD is all I meant) obviouslly there are many great women singers that have super powerful voices, just not all) - DG obviously could sing or would not have gotten work as a studio singer. In fact most of the work she does with the dead in the studio was awesome. Some folks, and perhaps some women have a harder time singing live in really loud R&R bands. She as well as the rest have admitted as much. - Personally, I’ve rarely heard a female vocalist that meshed well with the dead. Even post dead etc. I did really like that Garcia gal that sang backups in Futhur. Something about the boys to me made it tough for women to mesh, any era...I’m sure there are occasional exceptions, but generally speaking.... - Donna imho was a way better when she was more of a secondary, back up singer (in the dead). I know many feel she was better in the post hiatus band, and in some ways she was. I believe they made monitor/gear and position changes that helped. I think time also helped her learn the material and mesh better. As some mention, the stuff she did that they learned after she joined is often better for her than the “old” stuff they learned before her. But to me, she like some of the other “non-core” dead members over the years were better as secondary players. I didnt always like when they start having these folks become full on participants. But that’s just my worthless OPINION. - Board Recordings. Yes there are some truly jarring instances on this box where it’s tough to take, but that’s more because of technical variables and the idiosyncrasies of SB recordings as much as DG herself. Unfortunately the human mind often focuses on very different, jarring, scary sounds more than soft or soothing. If all you listen for is the ugly stuff, yeah, your not going to like DG. But if you move past that stuff and concentrate on the other, perhaps less dramatic stuff she did, she can be indeed very sweet. - Intoxication;in fact, and as she herself has said, intoxication can often be very detrimental to singing. Hell all music can be sometimes be affected negatively, look what happened to Jer...... Finally, ive talked to a few people who have had a chance to meet her and all have said she is truly a very nice person. So before one is tempted to be negative and perhaps even say something hateful, consider the big picture and all that was involved......

Of all the official ‘77 releases, Dick’s 34 is my least favorite. It just doesn’t catch my ear the way most shows from this year do. Not sure why. But after Dick’s 3, 10, and 29, it was something of a let down for me. More so alongside the Dave’s and box set ‘77 releases. Guess it’s that subjectivity creeping in again. Glad to see it getting some love on vinyl though.

Sometimes you get what you are hoping for, and that is the case with this box for me. I was really hoping that we would get a '73 box this year, and the addition of the '74 shows is the icing on the cake. I am currently finishing up a more focused listen of all three of the '73 shows after giving the entire box a quick listen to identify skips or defects, hopefully I didn't miss any. The sound on these shows seems great to me overall, the adjustment during the early songs of each show and the couple of vocal drop outs aren't really even a distraction. Everything sounds clear and distinct, and while Jerry is not at the forefront of the mix on every song, I didn't really ever feel like he was lost in the mix either. The extended jam sequences are so good on the '73 shows that I can't even say that the Dark Star sequence from Portland is the highlight and I love Dark Star. As far as the tempo, I dig the slow tempo stuff from the Dead, whatever the era, and the slow tempo stuff in this box is about perfect. There is, however, plenty of energy on the more up-tempo stuff in these shows. All in all, this whole run just reinforces my love of '73 Dead, a time period that seems like a peak to me. Next up, a more detailed listen to the '74 shows in the box. All of the performances of EOTW from the '74 shows really jumped out at me on my initial listen, so I am eager to give them a more focused listen.

Good Day All. My apologies for using this forum for what might be an unrelated Grateful Dead question. I am hoping that someone might be able to help. If you can, I would ask that you use a PM for the reply. I am hoping to communicate with someone on this board that would have access to the Northbrook Public Library in Illinois. If you might be able to help I would genuinely appreciate it. My apologies to all for the interruption. As for the PNW box...this very well could be, the most beautiful pieces of art to hold music in. A perfect place for this music...and the box is still available. Difficult to believe! Have a beautiful day. Regards.

I dunno, sounds sweet to me... My box arrived in good condition with one small scuff on one of the discs, nothing to get in a twist about as it plays fine. We are so lucky and spoiled to get this kind of material, most bands don't have anywhere near the amount, and in such great sound quality. Also some charge 2-3 times more. I get the frustration with some of the tunes having dropped vocals, but it doesn't bug me that much within the scope of the whole set. Just my two bits i guess...

....A chicken farmer walks into a bar, sits next to a woman and orders a glass of champagne. The woman perks up and says, "How about that? I just ordered a glass of champagne, too!" He turns to her and says, "What a coincidence. This is a special day for me, I'm celebrating." "This is a special day for me, too, and I'm also celebrating," says the woman. "What a coincidence," says the man. They clink glasses and he asks, "What are you celebrating?" "My husband and I have been trying to have a child. Today, my gynecologist told me I'm pregnant!" "What a coincidence," says the man. "I'm a chicken farmer. For years all my hens were infertile, but today they're finally fertile." "That's great," says the woman. "How did your chickens become fertile?" "I switched cocks," he replies. "What a coincidence," she said. Hardy har har....

What´s the odds? After almost exclusively listening to the PNW box over the last two weeks, I went for an Airplane album. At the same moment as Martys You Wear Your Dresses Too Short from Winterland 72 were thundering from my speakers, I read the news about his demise. So sad. In my view his voice was the superior one in JA ... and somehow so ahead of its time. At the end of the song Grace says "Thank you Marty!" Yeah, thank you for your contribution to the psychedelic revolution

I was also sold at 6 shows from 1973-1974. How can you not be, right? I find it's much easier to fine tune the sound on headphones on a system with an EQ. I suppose that's true of most of these old recordings, but it really helps with the 1973 concerts on the tracks where Jerry isn't quite as loud as usual. Even guitar volume considerations aside, the headphones are an essential listening medium for all shows. I get a hugely different perspective on the music. Headphones. Buy good headphones.

The Dave’s Picks 2018 subscription announcement came on 10/24 of last year. They usually close it off I think after New Year's. The subscriptions have never sold out. Any of the 18K that are not sold in the preorder session are sold ala carte. They were close to selling out this year. We know this because they told us they were close, and therefore had very few ala cart copies left to sell to people when each release was due to come out. The few ala carte copies for each release sold out in a couple hours. It feels like the Dead are more popular now than any time since Jerry died, at least going by Dave's Picks sales and Dead & Co attendance. I think this may be the year we see a Grateful Dead Dave’s Picks Subscription sellout. Buy it. P.S - better to buy it early because you get it for $99 and free shipping. Later in the subscription sales window the price goes up to $115 and I believe shipping has a cost at that point. Plus even if you were guaranteed an ala carte copy, you only get the bonus disc if you pay for the subscription. And the bonus disk is the best thing since One from the Vault.

I hope my doing a deep dive into a statement of yours doesn't piss you off, "MindLeftBody". Nothing personal, just a Historygeek being triggered! Seems like pretty good factual support for the importance of this box here: "They're also rarely performed songs like The Race is On, Box of Rain, Money Money, and the only 1973 Bird Song" I was pretty surprised to see that there was only one '73 Bird song! And glad it's on the 3CD set I bought (even if it has that 13:39 stumble-skip in it). Too surprised. I hit THE BOOK for "just the facts". (per DeadBase III, so some numbers may have changed): 87 (55 post-Pig) shows in '72, 73 shows in '73, 40 shows in '74. More than 1866 shows played 65-95. The Race Is On: seems to have been included in a few acoustic sets '69/'70 before entering performance rotation on 3/19/73 for 24 '73 performances and 8 '74 performances. 10/19/74 was the last TRIO until 9/27/80/The Reckoning shows. Box Of Rain: debuted 10/9/72 (about 2 years after the studio version was released!) for 11 '72 performances and 27 '73 performances. From 11/19/72 to 6/26/73 it was NOT played at only 4 shows. It missed 3 shows before being played 7/28/73 for the last time until 3/20/86. Bird Song: after a 14 performance run in '71, Bird song took 11 months off before entering regular rotation for 29 performances in '72 and 12 in '73. 9/15/73 was the last BS until 9/25/80/The Reckoning shows. Maybe the sentence should be: "There are also relatively rarely performed songs like The Race Is On, Box Of Rain, Money Money, and Bird Song". All 4 songs ARE quite rare in terms of 65-95, but two of them were not uncommon during the period covered by this box and 6/26/73BS is NOT the only '73 BS. I started this post because I thought the statement I'm scrutinizing was wrong. After my research and number-crunching, I do agree with the jist of the original statement, despite the, ummm, "factual deviationality" shall we say.

30 Days of Dead is all soundboard quality. 6/22/73 is the first produced / engineered version of Bird Song. I think the point being made was that one had to delve into the soundboard archives to hear '73 Bird Song, until now.

seeing how it's about facts, and your using a Deadbase that came out in 1988, i'll update it to a Deadbase from 1996 and the total listed is 2,314 shows from 1965-95. (that was the factoid that made me dig out my Deadbase 50, it's fukken heavy) the last Birdsong of 1973 is from Providence and only circulates as an AUD, but is worth a listen as it's the last Birdsong until the 1980 acoustic sets. https://archive.org/details/gd73-09-15.aud-sbd.cotsman.16174.sbeok.shnf…

I really like the duet JG & DG do on Dolly Parton and Porter Wagner's "Tomorrow is Forever". There weren't that many, but each is good. Jerry always took a nice break in there, too. Was looking through my cassettes from ago to find the 6/22/73, Vancouver, show and I found it! maxell UD xl 2, C90 with faded, but legible, writing on it. It's got a 3/82 date of reception on it. The tracks were: Side A: … Bertha BIODTL Deal Mexicali Box of Rain Bird Song The Race is On Side B: Here Comes Sunshine He's Gone/Truckin' What a show!!! Thanks, PTB.

Listened to the Vancouver '74 show today, and dig the whole show, but man the EOTW is a blissful highlight. And is that a little Slipknot riff in the jam at the end of EOTW?

Amen to that. Although the first 4 are my favourites. The reissued box set of Paranoid is a corker, with its two live shows from 1970 included.

The gentlemen below are correct: Bird Song: played 301 times total. 13 times in 1973 (Providence was indeed the last until 1980) Race is On: Played 59 times total. 27 times in 1973, 9 times in 1974 (and then no more until they played it 10 times in 1980) Box of Rain: 158 times total. Also 27 times in 1973, and then no more by the dead until 1986. However, Robert Hunter performed it dozens of times from 78-86 before the dead dusted it off. In fact he's performed it 112 times total (the most recent being 2014). caveat: I have only had 1 coffee today so please excuse any errors...

Ice Cream Cone Kid - nice vid clip from the Princeton Record Exchange. (20 South Tulane St, Princeton, NJ) I used to go there a lot when I live in Jersey. Worth the trip if in the area. Again this site has only cost me money. First Dylan's Bootleg 14, then Jimi's Electric Lady, today with the Sabbath "Paranoid" box set. I can't afford to come here anymore! Of course I have to buy Dave's this year since he let me pick all four releases, so there's another chunk of coin in November. For those that care, Lockn 2019 tickets just went on sale (alumni sale) (250 a pop for 4 days!,,, best music deal out there) If in the North Jersey area, my buddies there say "the cosmic Jerry band", has been tearing it up, knocked out a 4 hour show the other night. On the recording quality front, I'm always searching archive for old 78 recording and found this collection the other night at work. Played this collection at the store and was surprised at the general "likes" it got. If so inclined, follow link and listen to the second song, "Am I Blue", by Ethel Waters and Her Ebony 4. A 1929 recording! https://archive.org/details/VINTAGE78RPMRECORDS/New+folder+(2)/Vintage+…

I emailed Dr. Rhino about 3 weeks ago, and after a couple of small status communications from him/her over that time period, my replacement disc #11 from Vancouver 74 arrived, and I finally get to listen to that show in it's entirety. Will be enjoying that starting.....now! Dick's Picks 34 Vinyl to arrive on Thursday! Can't wait for last Dave's announcement of the year. I think he alluded to the fact that we may not see 80's, so I personally am hoping for some '79, '90 or '91..... KCJ

I was never crazy about this one. Odd choice for vinyl when you stop to think about how many better ones there are. I found the show to be just kind of average for 1977. The best thing about it are the bonus tracks from 11/2 at Seneca. There's a really hot Playing in the Band on Dave's Picks 24 from Berkeley. When I say hot, I mean this is in my top 5 all time. There is an intensity that Jerry and Phil provide, which seems to bring up everybody's game. I haven't listened to this show since it came out, and even then I was preoccupied and never gave it its full due.
