Buckle up as we take a deep dive into Giants Stadium!

What's Inside:

5 Previously Unreleased Complete Giants Stadium Shows On 14 Discs

7/12/87 (24-track masters)

7/9/89 (24-track masters)

7/10/89 (24-track masters)

6/16/91 (48-track masters)

6/17/91 (48-track masters)

Blu-ray/DVD video of the complete 6/17/91 show, mixed in surround sound Mixed from the multitrack master tapes by Jeffrey Norman at Bob Weir's TRI Studios Mastered in HDCD by David Glasser at Airshow Mastering with Plangent Processes restoration Individually Numbered, Limited Edition of 10,000

By 1987, the Grateful Dead had lived many of their nine lives but were about to embark on one not a soul had seen coming. In The Dark, their first studio album in seven years, had spawned a hit (A TOP 10 SINGLE FOR THE GRATEFUL DEAD?!) and "Touch Of Grey" begat a new generation with their fanny packs and their MTV and their undeniable quest to join the party already in progress. And boy, did the Dead let them in! But not without fine-tuning their sonic vibes to meet the new demand.

"The Swamp," as Giants Stadium was affectionately known, along with the grandstands the Dead had been frequenting, would seemingly equate with BIGGER and LOUDER, but the band "remained determined to give equal weight to the more subtle, oblique elements; to the exploratory improvisation and rhythmic complexities; to the fine details of the most heart-rending ballads as well as the weirdest dissonances in the jams."

With GIANTS STADIUM 1987/1989/1991, we retrace this journey from their 1987 breakthrough to their 1989 revelation ("the closest they ever came to sounding like a really polished stadium-level rock act, but the band’s penchant for breaking out of the constraints of song structure and into freewheeling improvisation will remind you just who you’re listening to here") to their transformative return in 1991, aided by elegance of Vince Welnick and Bruce Hornsby.

GIANTS STADIUM: 1987, 1989, 1991 features five previously unreleased shows that were recorded at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ on: July 12, 1987; July 9 and 10, 1989; and June 16 and 17, 1991. Originally recorded by John Cutler, each show has been mixed from the multitrack master tapes by Jeffrey Norman at Bob Weir's TRI Studios in San Rafael, CA, and mastered in HDCD by David Glasser at Airshow Mastering. The first three shows are mixed from 24-track masters. The final two from 1991 are the only Grateful Dead shows ever recorded to 48-track masters. We’re rounding things out with a little visual stimuli - the entire multi-camera 6/17/91 concert recording on either two DVDs or a single Blu-ray, both with a surround mix by Norman.

Due September 27th, this release is limited to 10,000 individually numbered copies and available exclusively from Dead.net. We highly suggest you grab a copy while you can so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy all the exclusive content we'll be rolling out.

Prefer your boxed set 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.

Spike Driver Blues 2/28/86 Garcia and Kahn

Been revisiting this Pure Jerry release. Really like this version as well as Run for the Roses, and Masterpiece. Any opinions on other good Spike Driver Blues versions that I am missing? Thanks everyone. Bob t

Read a little history will you. What was the other word used interchangeably by Marx for communism, yep you guessed it socialism. As the Thai say same same but different. In this case distorting the discussion by pretending there is a difference.
Definition of socialism.....state ownership of the economy. Thus the old canard about farm programs being socialist is no more true than saying the nordic countries are socialist. As I said before they are not the are capitalist .
A real western socialist country was The UK in the 70's. 55% of the economy was owned outright by the state. Thank God for Maggie.
In finishing do a little investigation before you open your mouth. You do know the old saying about the ---- who opens his mouth and proves it
Oh yeah this has absolutely nothing to do with an election year. It's about the unfortunate eternal fight for the future that can't be finally won because of silly people who never learn nevr study

Next on the Agenda

Are you wedded to that list Jim, or are you open to suggestions for other controversial topics? Just asking for a friend.
Personally, it is the widespread dispersion of plastic waste from the depths of the oceans to the snows of the arctic that worries me. Buy a Zippo, save the wildlife, that's what I thought after seeing all the photo's of seabirds with stomachs full of plastic lighters and other plastic debris. Puts that line from the Graduate (one of the greatest movies of all time) in a new perspective.

Did not know that It's a Mans, Mans World was a Tom Jones tune.

1970 It's a Man's, Man's World

A great song, only played 11 times. 1970 a great year. High energy Pigpen. A totally under-rated, rocking song. I can't believe Tom Jones wrote it.. but it took James Brown to give it swing.

What's next on the agenda, world peace, ruthless dictators, steely eyed politicians, ethnic cleansing? Hope not, hate election years but I do vote. How about a non-political no-brainer.. like 5/7/1972.. listened to about half of it today playing hooky (sp?) from work on the river. Should I by chance get in any trouble.. it was totally worth it. "I'm not sorry." My favorite Lovelight > GDTRFB.. outstanding.

Also.. at the end of my waterproof device was some weird odds and ends. A Playing> Scarlet>Playing (I think) and the beginnings of a Help Slip! (no Franklins, ran out of space) origins unknown.. but hot as hell. Goodness.. what an escape from dictators gone astray. Soul cleansing, I highly recommend it.

Edit.. doing some finish work with some Cherry wood I scored a few years back and the 12/31/76 Morning Dew from the Cow Palace started on SiriusXM.. and all good with what's left of the world. This version and the next one from Sana Barbara are simply superb.. perhaps the best from the period, Cornell included.. but I like these two better.

SNAFU

Socialist?! We could have a whole conversation on that, but just remember "socialist" programs arent just for liberals, ask the farmers, ranchers, and auto industry who get federal funds to keep businesses afloat in financial hardships,
there's some socialism for ya, and I thought this was a conversation about the use of the word communism? Socialism didnt even showed up in my comments....so I'm not even really sure what you're talking about, nor how to respond, but I've got a free moment. Sure if you want to believe that the only way to achieve peace is through violence and submission rather than a more nuanced and pragmatic approach, go for it, just dont be one of those that also shows up at the picnic calling themselves a "child of god." His kid thought he was a little heavy handed in the old days and had some pretty strong opinions of violence and brutality. I guess I'd rather go forward than backwards in human history. It's just frustrating that a large portion of the baby boomers cant be here on this planet without telling everyone how awesome they are and how great it "used" to be and it will "never" be "that good" again, well to this aged person it just seems like some of them are trying to piss on the rest of birthday cake because they have to leave the party before everyone else. So many appear to focused on their "legacy" as opposed to the legacy they leave for their grandkids children of wasted time and trashed planet. I guess I just thought a generation that talks such a big game would've made some better choices in their time and would show even marginal concern for what happens to others on this planet when they leave, it all just seems rather childish but mostly selfish to me.

There is an area between apocalyptic destruction and decay, and complete pacifism. Let's work on the colors in life, it ain't just black and white.

4/15/70

Gave the 1970 show from the 30 Trips box another listen today. Someone on here recently mentioned the Soul Sacrifice-ish jam on that one and since I couldn't really recall it, I figured it was time for another listen. Good show, those '70 Mans World performances in particular really hit the spot for me, and there is some cool jamming on Dancing In the Streets, including a little fast tempo Soulful Strut riff. Also listened to the album Mystery To Me by Fleetwood Mac from '73, the song Hypnotized, a '70s radio staple, always clicked for me, although it was only in the last few years that I discovered that it was a Fleetwood Mac tune.

Is the cat....

....out of the bag?

It's ready to buy

Good luck everyone

87 show

Wasn't that a Dylan/Dead show? Any word if the Dylan stuff is included?

Sweet

Very, very nice to see something different as far as eras go.
:O)

I can’t help myself

I’ve placed an order. The process was amazingly pain free, no queues no failure to get to the payment method. Let’s hope the rest of the supply chain is as straightforward. Looking forward to getting it.

next month release date

so glad we are getting a Blu-ray with this release

just ordered, can't wait :)

Sold!!!!....

....liking the price too!

order complete

9999 left ;)

Going to MUATM @ Cabot in Beverly MA with Not Fade Away playing a preshow show.

Off by 2 hours

I predicted 10 am PST for the announcement.

Ordered the Blu-ray Box.
Can’t wait until September, I want it now.

Dylan/Dead

I'm sure the Dylan set is excluded, why this is a 14 rather than 15CD box. Those '87 second sets were nice and compact.

Can't wait for this one!

Dig The Span

I like the multi-year span on this box set as well as last year's PNW set. I hope this is the new trend. As always...GO BRENT!

NO Dylan Set

I just watched David's seaside chat and he confirms they did NOT include the Dylan/Dead set. I was really looking forward to that set so quite disappointing to say the least.

Venue Box

Cool that it is the same years as Electric On The Eel.

Blu-Ray!

Blu-Ray and 5 shows is nice! I was at at both the 6/16/91 and 6/17/91 shows. Maybe one of the '89 shows. No Dylan included on the '87, probably hard to put that together rights wise. Ordered the Blu-Ray so about 99,995 left :-)

Sound should be great given the Multi-Tracks. Grew up in NJ and saw tons of Giants' games at this stadium. Looking forward!

Trash has given us an appetite for art

garbage

I'd crack up...

... if this had sold out before everyone got home from the movies.

Should be no problems with the sound quality on this set.

Got The BluRay Box

Is this the first official BluRay? All of my videos are DVD or VHS (Yes, I still have several of these).

7/12/1987 encores?

is
Touch of Grey
Knockin' on Heaven's Door
from 7/12/87 included?

11

...have to agree with forensicdoceleven's comment. Succinct and to-the-point: Garbage

...PIG PEN will return

quick thoughts

This looks really cool – i love the late 80s/early 90s as everyone knows. I love the packaging of this release. I even like the price. I have really no complaints.....however, i’m probably going to sit this one out. I just don’t see myself listening to this as often as the others and don't want to spend money just for it to sit on the shelf.

Last year, when the 73/74 boxset came out i told everyone that, for once, i feel pretty complete. I’m at the point where I’ll always do the DaP subscription but i’m going to be a bit more picky about the box sets.

I hope everyone who gets this loves the hell out of it. Already looking forward to next year!

One man's trash...

...is another man's treasure.

And just because I like to poke the bear sometimes and armchair psychologists felt good about ripping on Jerry a day before his birthday yesterday...this one's for you guys.
Pigpen was a drunk and a lush. Your precious version of this band would have kept going on had he not been a loadie you whiners.

let the rotten tomato throwing commence!

16

I was at the June 16th show Jerry was playing hot! Didn't make it to the 17th.

Looks good! but.....

I feel like a summer 91 box would have been a real gem. The giants shows in addition to sandstone, buckeye lake, and soldier field would have been, well, pretty darn sweet.

I will probably opt for the stand alone and put the rest towards next years Dave’s Picks. Hoping for a sell out so these years get more love from GDP.

No complaints but rather a huge thank you for shining a light on the Vince years (with Bruce!) and more Brent is always welcome too.

Finally, the wait is over...

...now what are you all going to speculate on? The next Dave's, I guess. Amazingly crisp, pain-free ordering from Dead.net, a pleasant surprise. Still I just happened to come on and randomly check the boards when I saw it. Never got the email announcement or anything... could be demand will heat up by this evening.

Anyone on the fence about acquiring a Blu-ray player, do so if possible. The pricing has come way down and yes, they are better than dvd.

Not going to the movies tonight... staying in and watching the Broncos second-string. At least this video will be available next month.

80SFAN

Smart...save your coin...

Cool

I'm down for this one. I know the '91 Dark Star show pretty well, but somewhat less familiar with the others. This box is going to sound great and have some great music in it.

Not sure why some people have to be so negative about it.

Nice

I was at the July 12, 1987 show, looking forward to hearing it all again. Looks like it should be some cool late era dead, a period during which Garcia seemed reinvigorated as I recall. I remember when they started back up in '87 Jerry just seemed more animated on stage, looked more like he was having a good time on stage.

Good to see that the nattering nabobs of negativity wasted no time in condemning this release;) At least the condemnation was concise. I get if you feel that the dead peaked well before this period and have no interest, but what exactly do you get by hopping on here to let us know it is "garbage"? I mean do what you like, I just don't quite get it.

Nice.

More post-Keith material is always appreciated.

Giants Box

I have every show from the box on video but I don't have the audio from muti-track master recordings. So I would just like to say thank you.

*Re/ 2019 Box Set

...a grateful Deadhead I am, not a robot!
Artwork is Amazing too, I love it! 🙏❤️💀
PS: turn it upside down, notice anything😉
...it’s the Rock Mountain/structure on the ‘New Jersey TurnPike’ ,on the way to ‘Giants Stadium’!!!

BOOM!

Very nice. Psyched for this era and these shows. Especially with ole Brucey!

Sixtus

"Buckle up"

The first words at the top.

That is funny when we were at the 16 we were joking that we needed seat belts.

Giants Stadium

Wow, first boxed set I haven't been interested in. Those who are looking forward to it, enjoy!

2019 Box

This is sweet and another surprise at least for me. The Veneta Box also had a bluray. So this would be the second one to date. Why not move it up and make it a 4k release. Either way, this will be a great box! Excited and the cost is perfect. Will be seeing it tonight

Blu ray

@bigbrownie. I think this is the second official blu ray. The sunshine daydream box was available on blu ray.

Awrsomeness

Sweet. Hope it's still available over the weekend. Soonest I can order is Monday. Only 10k units? Yikes.

I need this.

Edit - Was able to secure one. So geeked.

Negative responses

Yep, even in Deadland there are the privilged. It's the Dead. It's Jerry. It's a from 3 peak years. Why bother complaining about not liking the era? Just skip it. Gives me a chance to get one. I'm glad the negative folks are passing. This is my SWEET SPOT!

1991-maybe

These shows don't mean so much to me, so I will happily pass this one by. There are so many other attractions out there. I would be tempted by the stand alone 1991 set, which looks to be the cherry on the cake-but I would prefer to buy it off Amazon UK than dead.net to bypass the potential hassles/postage charges.

*Re/ July 10th 1989

...Also what’s Grateful is the performance on July 10th 1989...Great drum jam with ‘Willie Green’ from the ‘Neville Brothers’ and the rest of them on thru >>>
*Iko Iko
*All Along The Watchtower
*Morning Dew
*Sugar Magnolia
Encore:
*Knockin' On Heaven's Door
🙏❤️😎

I wish I could buy just the blu-ray

These are good shows but I just won't get around to listening to them that much, and I don't really want the box and whatnot.

"The Monkey,

...Has Been Spanked!"...Opps, nope,..."The I, Has Been Dotted!"...damn, wait a sec,..."The Antenna, Has Been Adjusted!"...no, wrong..."The Truth, Has Been Stretched!"...wait, that's not it..."The Meatloaf, Has Been Seasoned"...dang it, one more..."The Order, Has Been Placed! That's what I meant!

BOX SET

hey all, hope you're as excited as i am about the new box set. i like all eras under the sun. my official prediction: Summer '90 is off. but i am still not disappointed. i kinda like a bit of variety of eras in one box set. we'll be getting some brent, and we'll be getting post brent. which i know that makes me an oddball but i really REALLY like post brent. also glad it won't be a long wait for the set to be released. hopefully wont be a rush job.

2019 GD Calendar

I'd have to say August is my favorite month so far. Jerry and (looks like) Hunter in a VW bus-o-copter with Palm Tree size MJ trees on the beach. I'll have a nice time looking at this one all month. Wish y'all could see it! It's good.

Happy Box release day everyone! For the record, I'm in on the box w/ DVD. Looking forward to it!

Thank you for including the DVD!!!

Ordered!!!! So excited. Great boxset and thank you for including the DVD!!!!

I was unsure about this at first...

...as I went to the 7/4/87 at Sullivan Stadium 8 days before this, and it was disappointing. Or so I remember. My final show as it turned out (only saw 2 though, plus a Jerry solo show... ). I moved to AZ soon after and got into the west coast pre-grunge bands like L7, Jane's Addiction, Faith No More and so on. But I digress.

The set lists posted here piqued my curiosity, so I went onto the archive to check them out and... wow. The 7/12/87 shows opens with a ripping "Hell in a Bucket," then straight into a sweet "West LA Fadeaway." Both Jerry and Bob sound totally focused and on their game, and the band sounds tight too. Lots of energy, on-pitch singing, snappy guitar licks. The drums were locked in. Brent was low in the matrix mix that I heard, but still, he seemed to be adding stuff without the plinky-plink sounds that I find annoying. Other strong songs in the show include "Loser" and "Throwing Stones/Not Fade Away." I was just cherry picking and listening to clips, not the whole show. But at this point I was pretty intrigued.

I then jumped ahead 2 shows to do more sampling, this time from the 7/10/89 show. "Franklin's Tower," "Walkin' Blues" and "Jack-A-Roe" are three of my favorite songs, and they're teed up right there for a first-set trifecta, along with "The Music Never Stopped" that features some pretty funky licks from Phil, albeit a somewhat tepid (to my ears) final solo from Jerry. The second set has some good later-era songs, including a 10-minute "Foolish Heart" and a nice fat "Iko Iko," among other things. Plus a "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" closer... Which I had seen at the 1987 show but which wasn't included as the encore on this set's first show (probably because Dylan had played along with them). Again, the energy sounded really strong. They weren't phoning this one in, from what I could hear on these boards. And these were just matrixes from the archive -- I can't imagine how they will sound as fully realized 24-track or 48-track recordings.

At this point I'm thinking this set will be tough to resist. But I still wasn't sure.

So I trundled on over to the 6/17/9 show. This one sounds unique. It open with "Eyes," which is pretty unusual, I think. (Correct me if I'm wrong....) Then three different "Dark Star" teases before they finally dive into it for real (for a short time -- 9 minutes or so, but still) shows them in a playful mood that could bring them to new corners of their musical map even 25 years into the trip. What finally sealed it for me was the 10-minute, skronking and stomping, greasy and jammy "New Speedway Boogie" deep in the second set. They sound like the band is rising up out of the swampy earth like some kind of primordial, prehistoric beast. Jerry's voice isn't polished (was it ever?) but he's in tune and gets the words right. I had my order placed before they got to the second verse.

Anybody on the fence about this release, my suggestion is to dig around the archive a little. You may (like me!) be surprised at what these shows have...

Forgive the rambling!

Nevilles

In light of the passing of Art "Papa Funk" Neville and the guest appearance on the later half of 7/10/89 2nd Set, this set takes on an especially important tribute (for me anyways) to another legend gone. R.I.P. Papa Funk.

Similar to Dave's experience with coming into the Dead, I came onboard in 84 at 16 years old. Caught my 2nd and 3rd shows at Alpine in 86 then 4th thru 6th at Alpine 87 a couple of weeks before this 87 Giants show.

Caught 1 show in 88 at Buckeye , then by 89 started upping my attendance by attending multiple shows on multiple tours. All in all about 50 shows between 84 to 95 plus two JGB shows in 91.

87 through 91 was filled with consistently fantastic music from what I attended and know these Giants shows are all A+++ Dead.

Thank you for releasing this. Now back to my Neville binge.

I dig the 2019 Box!

I have followed the discussion of gueses of wgatc6the box would be on the DaP 31 comments. I am fairly certain someone called this correctly or very close to it. Who ever you are nice work!

So I bought the blu rey version without hesitation. I am excited simply because I really got turned on the summer 91 tour about a year ago, so that is enticing on it's own. I only got to see the Dead with Vince so essentially he is my guy. I have able to have seen Bruce in post Jerry line ups and he is just great. So once I started to explore 91 shows they just clicked for me. Now having 2 more summer 89 shows is great, really can't go wrong there. Adding that 87 show is the icing on the cake. Admittedly I am not as much if a fan of 87 shows. I had many in tapes back in the day and besides 9/18, I remember an 87 Foxboro show standing out. Also TPTB have only released 3 87 shows with one being the aforementioned 9/18 show, plus the View from the Vault shows. I think this box set is covering a lot of good ground musically so it is win for me.

I ended up skipping the MUATM this evening. Although it would have been cool to have watched the 6/17 show on the big screen, I am feeling good that I will be able to watch it whenever I want on blu Rey. More importantly I spent the early afternoon with my wife visiting and catching up with one of my buddies, his wife and kids. I dont get to see many of my friends too often just due to work and life responsibilities...never know when some one will not be on this Earth anymore so I try to make time to see people. So after spending that time with my buddy, my wife and I got a bite to eat and went home. I am now going to fine tune myself, spin a few shows and relax. This is a good way to start The Days Between.

Peace to you all...

Garbage is right

Well maybe they mixed Brent out since its multtrack. Im happy for the people that got their wish, but I just cant stand it. I was at 2 of these shows, had a blast, but being there and hearing a palyback are 2 separate things. It ain't selling out by Monday. Right in the nuts.

I'm just not buying Dave's…

I'm just not buying Dave's hyperbole after the most recent Dave's Picks. Its a decent show but in my opinion not even in same orbit as the Fillmore East show that preceded it. He's gotta sell/move product I guess.
This boxed set is a pass for me.

Hey, this isn't where I parked my car..

Ok cool.

I was skeptical at first, I find the connection tenuous in the sense of consecutive shows across multiple years in a 65,000 seat arena, but shortly came around to the idea of multiple years of shows in good quality that people think highly of.

I love the connective tissue in releases like Europe '72, Spring '90 or even PNW '73/74, so I'm still not completely sold on (to me) an impersonal stadium across 5 years, but I'm more excited about the specific shows and the Blu-Ray as I read about them.

Brent > Vince/Bruce, I'm supportive as a neophyte still taking on anything I can get. Listening to GarciaLive 11 Deal from 1993 right now, I love the comment earlier about how this set matches the year of Jerry on the Eel. Happy birthday!

Brent, Vince, Bruce, anyways, I love it. Glad to see them represented, I want to hear it all. I don't blame anyone that isn't a fan, but I'm on board.

No you can't find it in no night club or no yacht club
And it ain't in the seats of a supper club
And sure as hell you're bound to tell
That no matter how hard you rub
You just ain't a-gonna find it on yer ticket stub

I'd never have expected them to strike a deal with Dylan & Co for his set of 7/12/87, but it's still too bad. Jerry and the boys pushing him to some rarities and ultimately the advent of the Neverending Tour in 1988 (check out Chronicles), not to mention the first Tomorrow is a Long Time since 4/12/63 Town Hall NYC, featuring Jerry on pedal steel for the first time in 15 years. Switching now to the Dylan boot of 7/12/87, I presume ya'll have it if you want it but I'm more than happy to provide if not, from the Dylan side of the road...got 4/12/63 too, and that should not be missed, period motherfucker. That's the one with the Last Thoughts on Woody Guthrie..

And though it's only my opinion
I may be right or wrong
You'll find them both
In the Grand Canyon
At sundown
