"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.

I think he got that time machine working again. Rumor has it he was shooting for the vault on Dick's first day but due to some dark space he's back in the tetonic period - hear Old Faithful blew the other day in psychedelic colors.

Keith & Gus

Keithfan: once again a very interesting, informative analytical perspective. Gus West; “don’t think about, just do it, lean over and kiss your radio, nobody will think poorly of you, just do it” and then order this sucker. After that psychedelic purple licorice, icecrmcnkd’s avater whirled above like a hologram and delivered a telepathic vision of floating like an eagle over the great Northwest while that 46 minute PITB somehow eerily seemed to rise up out of the great forest.......pheeewwww “SOB, get me a drink” WHERES WALDO, I mean Jim?

Thanks for the heads up. Just listening to Fink's upload of Lindley Meadows 75. Superb. Groovy, as they used to say. Have to get the 30 trips show.

Happy Friday!

Was a nice mental release to get to go to MUATM this week - I really needed it. That Box Set Reveal was Dave's best video update ever. I don't know why they have not put it up on dead.net, maybe waiting for Days Between to pass??? I suspect once people see it, they will be off the fence and having an awesome boxset on the way to their mailbox next month.

Nice

Yessssss....got my order in first with no troubles, finally the pre-order Gods have smiled on me! Luckily without having to go through PayPal, I've also managed to secure myself some time saving up after the charges drop-off. And I scored a ticket for the Dead and Co. show in Hartford tomorrow, what a fantastic lunch break!

Oh Yeah

Well that was an easy buy and no issues ordering can't wait to get this one 5/19/74 is a long time favorite

Can's sign up fast enough

for this gem.

Thanks Direwulf

Saw your comment on the other thread and ordered!!

What about 72'...

Very excited to see these getting the treatment. Wondering why the crucial 72' Seattle and Portland shows are not in this. Those 3 years(72', 73', 74') tell such a story and are the most coveted recordings in general. I am however very grateful...

Well that was easy

As much trouble as this has been the last few years--great work deadnet on this one going through smoothly

WoW

Well now this sorta came up out of the clear blue sky. Very nice. Sixtus

Very smooth

Yes, great job on this dead.net. Very excited for this release (19 CD's!!!!) Thank you Dave and team. Makes up for Dead and Co. not stopping near me this summer.

Spent $200 on my lunch break

Better get back to work! Haha

Love the art work for this

Love the art work for this box, to bad the above image was not the computer wall paper to download on check out.

Yay...ouch...

I had a feeling that I ought to check dead.net - and I ordered without hassle or second-guessing. Although the shipping to Canada made me cringe... (almost $70 CAD for shipping)...

amazing

absolutely amazing THANK YOU, PTB. :)))

Wow is right

Love love love this. We got our Summer '73 box! Summer dead always makes me smile, and 2 summers worth is a real treat. And the option of multi year boxes opens up the possibility of a multi year MSG, or Boston, Berkeley, Alpine, Shoreline,(enter any city here) boxes. Dizzying.... the possibilities.

Even I'm looking forward to this!

I'm always excited when a new release will be a great improvement over what I have. This looks like it will be that. I ordered both cd and vinyl. (don't tell the wife) On the ordering front,,, maybe it was so easy because it seemed to be on the downlow. I didn't (or at least haven't gotten one yet) an email announcement. Maybe they thought less splash would help "fans" get theirs before "ebayers". So, in the next 3 months, a new 45, Aoxomoxoa, DaP 27 and a box set! Wow, that large sucking sound is coming from your wallet!

Whoo Hoo

Wish I was a headlight.. on a North(west) bound train. Well, the next best thing, Providing the shipping gnomes treat me well, I will be transported there come September. Whoo Hoo. This looks to be a spectacular box. I decide to have some desert and scored the t-shirt too. The sun gonna shine in my back door someday (in September). ah yes, that sucking sound from the wallet. It hurts, but it should heal by September. Peace all.. Thanks Dave.

Fantastic !

Ordered. Now the waiting is the hardest part. Love this era of the Dead.

sweeeet!

Very cool! Ordered without hassle too! This is epic - thank you Dave and dead.net!

Jim in Md's T-Shirt

I feel like Hawkeye in MASH when he ordered from "Adams Ribs". The food got to Korea and a supply sergeant asked about the coleslaw and chided Hawk for going thru all the hassle to get ribs and NOT ordering the slaw. I didn't order the shirt! Back to the order page. Suck, suck, suck, suck, suck,,,, my credit card is bleeding from the spanking I'm giving it!

Sad but true dept.

$53.99 for shipping to Europe. It may be an oversize item, but for that sort of shipping price I would expect it to be delivered by private jet, not standard shipping. However, this is a not-to-be-missed item for sure.

Now the email has hit

I hope the ordering is going to continue being smooth for everyone.....

yum

sweet, indeed!

Raining box set

I just got the joke in the 3-CD "Believe it if you need it" condensed version: Box (set) of rain(y northwest)

NOT

"available exclusively from dead.net." We know that's BS. These will be on ebay for $1000 or more.

sweet

Is this the box set that was TBA at MUATM or is there another announcement coming?

Very nice!

Wow this looks like an amazing set! Can't wait. And yes very smooth checkout this time! Also good to see this being released as a download as well as the box (which I'm sure will be very well done).

Can never get enough

Just ordered the big box set as well as the 6LP show. Can't wait!

Saw the email and immediately ordered

The order went through quick and smooth even with using PayPal. Good job, dead.net! I’m going to need to carve out a serious chunk of time to get through 19 CDs.

"Can never get enough" Indeed!

WOW! Great News! Yes -- one just can not get enough of these live releases. I can not wait to have it my hands.

Order in....

check. Now I can leisurely listen to Dave's announcement.

ordered

:))) :))) :))) The OMNIPOTENT Grateful Dead

Allman

Now that would be something! Imagine conflating two box sets together just to confuse the hell out of us. That would be treat, showing up at MUATM and getting a reveal of not this box but ANOTHER release! Shipping says oversize item, I've got this one to be the best packaging presentation yet, going for another box set packaging Grammy I presume, eh Dead?

Shipping to Europe

My hands were just a blur on the keyboard when I realised this was available, so it didn't really register how much the shipping was. Its a lot..but its worth it! I'm wondering now whether to buy the vinyl for 19th May 1974, seeings as how it can be ordered on Amazon.

Store in now open..

Come on in take off your skin and rattle around in your bones.

Why? Why? Why?

Did they pick the most boring show of the bunch to press to wax?!

$54 for shipping to the Netherlands, snif...

The box must be Spring 1990 sized. Although I think that was still cheaper in shipping. Oh well, what's not to like with 6 amazing pre-hiatus shows. Now, complete a terrific year with a 60's DaP and a 90's DaP, I say!

Pre

Ordered HAPPY HAPPY Tuesdday DEADLAND

Sweet

This one is going to be a real treat. Honestly, I was going to be excited about any new box. Thank you Dave & Co!

Totally worth the wait...

So... I'd been patiently waiting for the box set announcement, and this DID NOT DISAPPOINT! These shows are all really good. The Vancouver show from 6/22/73 (my 3rd Birthday, I might add) is absolutely top-notch. To me, it's in the same conversation w/ Veneta, Cornell, Englishtown, Bickershaw and acoustic/electric shows at the Fillmore East. I cannot wait for this gem to show up on my porch! Peace, brothers and sisters. 10 days until Alpine Valley!

Cool

Awesome do we get a discount?

Dave’s Next Pick

Now that we know the release of the box and many of us have ordered, let’s start taking about a what the next Pick Dave will give us. I am thinking 09/26/91. Time for a Bruce and Vince show.

Preordered 19 CD Box.

Finally the beautiful PNW gets some belated official retail Plangent/Full Norman love. So freaking stoked!

Justify my purchase

Looks like an awesome box & it was easy to pull the trigger since I won a couple of hundred bucks on Justify in the Belmont Stakes on Saturday. Great horse & great timing for a great box set. Honestly, I would have bought the box anyway, but having that extra cash made it much easier
