"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.

Scratched discs

Wow! Really disappointed to spend all of this money and receive scratched discs. How does this happen? Makes you really not want to buy cds anymore. I have bought every box set the Dead have put out with the exception of the giant Europe '72 box set. This is will be my last one. Disgraceful

Overnight Express or Express

I am not mistaken that I have never heard of this before. I'm pretty sure I'm right about that. I am sorry for your woes.. it will come. I believe someone else posted here if you paid extra for 'expedited delivery' you can probably get that refunded. I honestly have never heard of this language being used before by dead.net and it's not on my email. I would follow Bobs advice and if you paid extra for expedited shipping ask for a refund on that portion of the costs. What else can you do at this point? Sorry for your woes, no offense meant. Not pre-ordering from Dead.net, especially for items that often sell out before the pre-order is over (not the case for this box, they are still for sale) often means if you want it you have to get it from eBay at double or triple the price. Once it sells out, it will be more expensive on the secondary market. Just my two cents. Edit: Also, check the UPS tracking. For most that ordered this, the first shipping notice was conservative and it arrived before that, the delivery date being adjusted all the while. I do not recall an overnight delivery option available when I ordered mine, just 'expedited' I understand your frustration, follow Bob's advise. He is a kind and wise man. On an unrelated note - does anyone have a backhoe I can borrow?

Money Money and Robbing Banks

Is it really good to have each and every Money Money perfectly remastered? ...made me chortle my drink. As for robbing banks.. One of the po-dunk banks a few miles from where I live was robbed a week or so ago and one of my friends works for the bank. ..which got us all talking about it. Fortunately there was a lawyer in the crowd. The plan is to borrow a backhoe from a nearby construction project and just crash through the back wall (where the money is).. have a bunch of raft guides nearby to grab as much cash as you possibly can in the next minute or three and get the hell out of dodge. If you demolish the building while grabbing the lute, there is less chance you will be caught on film and try grabbing a print from a pile of rubble. Makes perfect sense. None of this threaten the teller stuff.. Smash in the back wall after hours, after they are all gone, grab the loot and split. What could possibly go wrong? Now that I think about it.. there is one of those old WWII tanks sitting proudly in the town park about two blocks away from the local bank. We could fill it up with unleaded, fire it up, smash through the rear brick walls of the bank, cash and go and be home by dinner. That sounds more fun than the Money Money listening party. I guess what I was trying to say is there is a reason they only played it thrice. Apologies to all that love this song (I am sure there are plenty). It just never gelled with me. Again, apologies..

@Tali

Reach out to MaryE on this board via PM or email Dr. Rhino at Dr.Rhino@Rhino.com. They'll be able to help out and get this resolved. I've had issues over the years that were quickly resolved. Try purchasing the Europe 72 All Music Edition and only receiving one show... They corrected. I've also had bad disks in first May boxset and a couple of Dick's Picks without issue. I would not expect Rhino Customer Service to directly respond on these threads, but Mary will chime in from time to time. I was initially a little pissed at first that I signed up for Expedited Shipping and wasn't going to get it until today, but as Jim says what's a couple of more days, I'm just psyched they're releasing one of my favorite periods of my favorite bands after all these years. We are such lucky fans. I'm sorry for your loss and I hope it get's resolved to your satisfaction.

Scuffs 'N Scratches

Great name for a parody band. After reading about the disc issues, I'm afraid to open mine now. I got into show one last night in a dark room and didn't even think to look. Went back just now. Disc one has scuffs and small scratches. Disc 2 and 3 are okay so far. This is like opening the briefcases in Let's Make a Deal and hoping you don't get f**ked. Here it comes, night in the ruts.

Ordering Snafu's

I pre-ordered mine, don't have it yet tracking says tomorrow. It will come. I've been waiting for 45 years, what's another day. Perhaps better advice is don't trust what you might have been told from the customer service number. I have never heard of them sending a box set via Overnight Express. They are in the process of shipping out 10k of these this week. Sorry about your troubles, but relax a bit, it will come. If the order went through and they charged your credit card.. it will come. I have been buying CDs from GD Merch, then Dead.Net directly since One From The Vault in 1993. I have had a couple CDs with the box cutter blues, a couple scratched.. all were replaced. I am whole and have a bunch of good music to sooth my aching bones. I wish no one ever had trouble and there were no snafu's. I was bummed when a couple of my orders had problems. But they made good on every single order (so far).

Buyer beware! Never pre order from dead.net!

I have been given the complete runaround re: the pre order I paid for months ago. I’ve bought many things from dead.net in the past and I would now advise any deadhead to avoid that at all costs. I purchased this pre order weeks and weeks ago, and didn’t hear anything about my shipment till this weekend. I heard it ‘should’ be out by end of day Monday. I was then told it was shipped, and given tracking numbers that quite obviously showed it didn’t get shipped for days. Now, dead.net claims they sent my package as ‘overnight express’ yesterday. UPS says it is a ‘scheduled delivery’ of next Monday. The 17th. I’ve sent multiple emails to customer service and have received no help! For a pre order of several hundred dollars (both the box set and the Lp). I still have no idea when I’ll get it, and dead.bet additionally lied about the shipping they would use in their email. Don’t ever pre order from dead.net, they will treat you horribly for your troubles. I have friends who purchased this set after it came out and have received it before dead.net even bothered to *try* to ship mine. I’m still waiting for some sort of response here - getting a release multiple weeks late isn’t exactly a preorder. What’s the point. I’m not going to be purchasing any more subscriptions or preorders from here anymore unless this somehow gets resolved...

Poo too?

Always been a Tigger fan myself.

Great box!

Do I like shit too? I think it's a great box, with great sound for great music. The box came to me just two days ago, and I am far from having listened to everything. If there are any defective discs, I will ask for their replacement. But, what a beautiful box! What a beautiful sound! What a beautiful music!

This Box is the Shit!!!

Apparently......I know I love it!!! Work day is over....spinning Portland 74 vinyl while I wait for the DP 28 announcement.....what will it be? I am thinking '69..... Edit....1976 it is...10 minutes before 10am Pacific...Got mine,Hurry!

Excited for this one. Capitol Theater. Woo Hoo

Live jazz

Before everybody shuffles off to the Daves Picks page, I'd like to endorse FiveBranch's recommendation to go see live jazz. I have always been more of a rock n' roll type of guy, but I can't think of a single jazz concert I have attended and come away from disappointed. The last one I saw was earlier this year-the Sun Ra Arkestra under the direction of Marshall Allen-a fantastic show on so many different levels, from the propulsive rhythms to the soloing to the extraordinary presentation. And all this in a Unitarian Church. I seem to enjoy jazz more live than on record/cd-maybe because there is a sense that you are witnessing music that is, to a large extent, being created there and then, as it is being performed. A bit Dead like, in that respect. I always sense that jazz musicians have a greater musical vocabulary than most rock musicians.

SkullTrip - saw that clip last night...

SK - My wife and I typically watch Big Bang or Young Sheldon at dinner with my daughter and after the dvr of YS was done the channel was playing Goldmember and we watched that scene - how ironic. Looking forward to that DaP28 show - always loved that Boston show from the Road Trip series from that same tour...

On a scale of 1 - 5

I give this Box6 MDJim Steely Dan Stars And 7, yes count them, 7 grumpy unkle Sam poop stains. Excellent Box! And you didn’t even have to subscribe to get it.

Disk issues

So I'm listening to the fifth show from Portland, and somewhere during Sugaree -- which I was really getting into, the vocals just sort of fade out. I'm currently into El Paso, and the vocals are still far off somewhere. It's pretty much unlistenable. Does anyone else have this issue with this?? Also, on disk one, Wharf Rat sort of skips and cuts out in the end. If this is widespread I'd say that they never should have released it this way. If it's just mine, how can I get replacements? Signed, Annoyed in Deadland

@ Amy

Concerning voices that "disappear", this comes from the original recording. It can not be helped.

@Alain

Hey thanks for that. I do believe the versions I've heard do not do that, but I'll go back and listen. So before I threw a fit I'd figure I'd poll the community. Such a killer box set though. It's a snapshot and study of a very special era in history and I'm pleased with the perspective it brings. Happy listening and keep on truckin'.Signed, Less annoyed in Deadland

Re: Boblopes

T’is ironic. They’ve been running both “Goldmember” and “The Spy Who Shagged Me” a lot lately. Fine by me though. I never get tired of the Austin Powers trilogy. They make me laugh every time. Psyched about Dave’s 28 as well. I dig the Dead’s 76 vibe, and the Road Trips Boston release gets a lot of play in these parts.

is there some future Fire on the Mtn in the jam on 1st Playing?

I don't know if it's my mind wandering during "the drift" but I swear I hear some of the riffs from FOTM during that awesome jamming during the '73 PNE Playing in the Band. Makes sense to test drive new riffs in their embryonic stages during awesome periods of musical tangents during jams. I love finding these tasty musical nugs from this band!

@5Branch - Go see live Jazz -> Great words to live by.

Great words to live by. My mother in law sees live jazz 3 nights a week and hits the LA Jazz Convention twice a year (May & Oct). She probably hit more shows a week when my father-in-law was still alive (RIP) and she puts out a weekly email to the Boston Jazz community. Got to see some good music with them (Maynard Ferguson a couple of times including his 75th Bday at Ryles in Cambridge. I'm bummed I don't get to see as much live music as I used to. At least we get these wonderful releases from the Dead...

jazz

Jazz is what finally flipped me full-on into Dead worship. I just had enough of all of it - Beatles, Stones, Van Halen, U2... the verse/chorus/verse/bridge middle-eight fucking whatever, then ride out one more time and kick up the maracas and tambo. Jumpin' Jack Flash, etc. Kind Of Blue was my teenage introduction to jazz music, and it remains the penultimate recording of it's type. Dave Brubeck, Cal Tjader, Jimmy Smith, Paris Combo. I love it all. Stan Getz and Art Pepper... holy fuck. Thelonious Monk. Jazz is fresh and you never know what's coming. The Grateful Dead pulled that off in a pop/rock context. Only because of the live recordings. Owsley turned on the world in more ways than one. What a genius... and the term is way overused. No two takes the same. Thousands and thousands of songs endlessly streaming, the soundtrack to my life. I am so lucky. \m/

betty boards

may anybody confirm Vancouver 73 is a betty Board?I found a list of tapes returned to the vault. : https://relix.com/news/detail/the_betty_boards_are_now_in_the_grateful_… If Bear was the king, She was the Princess of shows recording. This list does not include Dave 28 ! Disc 9 Seattle 73 : One of the best of shorter versions oF PITB and incredible up tempo LoveEOther. This music is so Good.

Disc 1 of 19

The sound is terrible on my Disc 1. At first the keyboard is not heard at all. Jerry's voice is faint, at best. The drum/cymabls also don't come in good until later. Does Anyone else have this problem with specificallyy this disc (or others)?

im in shock, appaled and flabergasted

you guys have no sense of humor, I trash the box badly and you all believed me, except a few of you and of course snafu who is all f***ed up. There are some problems yes, but it is an excellent box that I'm glad to have. Here's another one, I just heard that the earth is flat, we didn't go to the moon and that Jerry is still alive, comments? You guys really need to lighten up. If you all had read any of my posts in the past My coda is, any Dead is good Dead. Maybe the way I worded it thru you all? Here's a clue, you can't believe everything you see and hear can you? now if you excuse me, I must be on my way. James Marshal Hendrix

the dodgey subject... of flying saucers

It's Marshall, like the amps... he was born Johnny Allen no worries, letters missing.... Coltrane's Mr. PC was written for bassist Paul Chambers, not Mr. Paul Caruso of radio station EXP. We know there really are flying saucers because a rounder one was on DaP 23

oh.

I see, US. :)))

sheik, Bettys

That Relix list is incomplete.It’s missing 7-1,3,5-78 which are reported to be Bettys on the 78 Box site. “With five distinct performances painting the masterpiece of 1978, Betty Cantor-Jackson's always-pristine soundboard recordings” Unless Dave has released a list of what was obtained, we will just have to wait for release announcements. I’m still onboard with Kayak Guy’s suggestion of Plangentizing all the Bettys.

LedDed/Other Posts re: Jazz

LedDed: You described my own experience connecting jazz to the Dead, although I'm guessing I got there a while before you did. Reminds me of a conversation I stumbled into in a beer line at the Dead & Co. show at CitiField this summer with a 20-something guy and his girlfriend. We were talking about the Dead's jazz-like approach to improvisation for a while, with the young woman speaking just a little, when he lets it be known that she is the daughter of a prominent jazz musician and grew up listening to his jazz and Dead records. Note that Dead & Co. have been playing Coltrane and Miles Davis during "Space," occasionally, for a couple of years now. As for live vs. studio jazz recordings, all of my favorite studio recordings were made without any kind of overdubs, so you really get the live experience with a very high level of sound quality. And, yes, there's lots and lots of it out there to be discovered.

Disc 1-WharfMark

As Alain says below, the faults in the mix lie with the original recording, not the cd. A few shows start off with dodgy mixes, but they come right soon enough. The 1974 mixes sound better to me, on the whole-but-word of warning-the voices all but disappear for a few songs on 5/19/74. The quality of the music still shines through, though.

LedDed/Jazz posts

Thumbs up for all the cool jazz posts!

thanks IceCkid

It's good to know there are still hidden gems in the vault. I agree for 78...

Betty’s

Perhaps that relix list pertains only to tapes returned to the vault. It does not necessarily mean that there are not Betty’s already in the vault...

the Betty list

hi there.that list is mine. i made it in 1999 and was the contents of the KNOWN Betty's that were in circulation at that time. They are only a portion of the returned Reels, as many never made it into circulation by 1999. there are other hand written lists, of the scum bags stash that wanted $1,000,000 for his mud covered reels, they are not included in the version that ended up on that Relix page. its a waste to release any of the returned tapes without Plangent processing, you might as well get the WBOTB versions that were digitized in the 1980's when the tapes hadn't starting to deteriorate like they are now.

@Amy From New York

Hi Amy, I had the same Disc 1 issue with Wharf Rat. If you look closely you may see a large crescent scuff mark on the outside of that disc. I contacted Customer Service via email with my order number - in fact forwarded my confirmation email when sending and they sent me a form to fill out. I also contacted: drrhinon@wmgcustomerservice.com Dr Rhino responded as well and says it was being taken care of so now I am waiting. I have to say they seem on the ball with making this right so for now giving credit where credit is due. In regards to the vocals cutting out, I think it helps to put it in perspective of how old these tapes are and actually with all things considered how great everything sounds. Many many bands would not put out these performance because of some of the flubs, tape issues, rawness etc... but they do, and when I listen to it all together it puts the brilliance of these shows into another because of the realness of the performance as a whole. I have been most impressed by the overall quality the dead put into their equipment during this time. I am only on Portland '73, but that Bass sound is so good. Being a bassist myself I can certainly appreciate the tone that I am sure took long hours and expert/costly equipment (sometimes built on demand from Alembic) to achieve. Deep but very bright - that's not even talking about the skill it took to mix live, record, and years later remaster. I actually believe the sound of the bass and other overall sounds declined after this period even with new technology. Certainly it can be debated that the quality of performances never returned to this level after the hiatus. So we get some of the Deads best recordings, performances, with their best equipment with this box. Awesome!

Comments on the other board seemed a bit easier... but change is usually good. Here's to breaking this site in.

oh.. Hi Erik / Dennis

Testing...

Lets see if pics and videos work...

..well, it doesn't seem to allow us to embed videos and pictures but apparently we can post links. I am guessing the intent was to make it safer and less prone to the rampant ruskie hackers that used to roam these threads. Progress I guess.

My avatar has changed since the change of the site, I wonder why.

When I want to restore my avatar with the Firefox browser, at the bottom of my profile editing page the SAVE button does not react.

Excuse my english, I'm french.

Thank you for your help.

Buenos ding-dong-diddly dias, senor.

Alain!

Messaging seems to be a bit impaired at the moment but the fine tech folks are aware of the issue and dealing with it. Meanwhile, thanks to you and the other folks for reporting issues as you find them.

Swank and Swing

This place doesn't swank and swing like it used to... Comments and conversations were central to the old dead.net, they are buried under the glitz in the new house. I hope they change that, but I am not holding my breath.

They put a whole lot of work into this and I think they did a great job.. but they buried user comments a bit, they are no longer central which is a shame.

Oh well, no bother.. be good all, play dead.

Synchronicity

Caution (Do Not Stop On Tracks) just came over the randomizer, 10/20/68 from the Greek (30 Trips box). If you act, as you think...

I think the site looks great, and it won't be long before most of the old guard return.

Boxes left

Around 3020.....

I'll be wearing mine tonight for Bob and Wolf Bros. in Santa Barbara. Mrs. Big and I will be in row G, in case any of you folks want to meet up!

The new site....

....im sure it'll take some getting used to, but at first glance, I'm not much of a fan. But the only thing that doesn't change is change.... where's my avatar?🤔. Where's Dave's Picks? 🤔. Why is the background so white? 🤔. We do have emojis tho, so that's cool 👌✌️

Frustrating website thus far

I'm sure it will get better, but you have to open up new windows to get to more than 10 comments, then it's just 10 per page, not helpful when you can't check in every day. Also, the Dave's Picks are the main reason I visit. The box sets are one or two per year, but Dave's is the main conversational hub. Disappointing that that page is non-existent so far, and a release is about to hit, how am I expected to know whether to love it or hate without the discussion that will invite vitriol and passion over 42 year old tapes? But seriously, monotonous and exhausting though those conversations can be, it's also a hive of musical recommendations, reading recommendations, and occasionally awesome stories of Dead shows, and/or synchonicities. Any update on when that gets added?

annnd.....we're back

I could complain about a few things, but everyone else seems to have covered it. It is definitely way too white. I liked the old Deadnet page with the space and planets to click on, that was a nice one to look at, this one, not so much.
Hopefully, another ten years on this site. I'm not going anywhere except out for a smoke.
