    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.

    Yup, that percussion is none other than Danny Carey, the man who had a drum kit made of melted down Paiste drum cymbals, yes you read that right, and one were the drum bodies are made from a sustainably harvested tree that produces the vines used in ayahuasca brews. He is probably the single most amazing drummer I have ever come across and dare I say a step beyond, Moon, Bonham, Mason, Baker, and the Rhythm devils. Not so much better, just picking up where they left off and blasting into f-ing space with it. Literally one of the most humble but intensely interesting people you can find out and talk to, especially in music. Check out his side project Volto! for some nasty jazz fusion where he really gets into some nasty technique. He is also a student of Aloke Dutta and explores numerous different cultures explorations of rhythm and time.

    Here is a sample for any others just wondering what all the fuss is about and you get glimpse of his melted cymbal drum kit.

    If you enjoy hearing phenomenal musicians explain themselves, their technique, and equipment checkout the first clip in the list, it's a 1of 3 part interview.

    That new Tool song is fantastic! Rolling Stone has a link to it. I can't believe how great the production is - the percussion alone is among the finest things I've ever heard. Can't wait for the album to drop. \m/

    Have seen, but forgot about that video, sooooo mtv, love the leather jackets and hairdos ; )
    Think that was my favorite Brent tune. Thanks for that Vguy. Can’t remeber if there were more? Rember TOG obviously, and the Bucket video with the duck, this one and???
    That back lighting totally reminds me of the first time Lee Esdee and I hung at a show. It was the first time I saw the new vari lights and at a “certain” point where I was convinced I’d died and gone to heaven, Candace had the lights all white behind the band, and being in the front row they were sort of blinding to my aaaaa, “affected” vision, eventually as I could start to focus again I came to the realization that I may have died, but it was alright cause the dead was playing in front of the light at the end of the tunnel 😃

    Edit: have only seen videos but yaaassss that Billy Strings does look awesome!

    I'm going to see him on Saturday at a festival outside of Baltimore called Hot August Music Fest (formerly Hot August Blues.) On the same bill is JGB with Melvin and the ladies. No idea whose else is playing with them, but it will be nice to see Melvin. A local jam band Pigeons Playing Pingpong is also playing, and while they are not my usual cup of tea, what I've heard sounds like it will be fun :)

    I've also had a chance to see Billy at a local brewery here in town, and he is a damn fine musician, (and does a killer Deal!)

    Peace

    re: Light

    ....Just a Little Light was a great tune IMHO - there are some good ones on the Spring 90 boxes, one of which (I can't recall the exact show) that was played late in the tour was exceptionally good - sort of an extended intro between Jerry and Brent; then when they get into it, there is a pretty spacey/drawn out jam where Jerry sort of goes off on a walk around the block, wah-wah included. I always loved when Jer would fire up the wah-wah pedal and I feel like this tune had some fantastic potential to really open up on that - using the aforementioned example as a reference/starting point.

    Had no idea there was a video - MTV's gems uncovered....well done VGuy

    Great information as well. I had no idea the bands were linked as such, and would have never thought it, but just goes to show........

    Think I will wait for this next one on vinyl....maybe turn it up to 11 after a veggie pizza and see what happens....what could go wrong? I will check out Aenema again as well. This is one reason I hang out here, and truth is I listen to music totally different then I did back then...my GD listening habits probably being the best example of that.

    Side note: my cousin told me that the new CD has a miniature chargeable speaker in it and also a USB drive or something similar...sounds gimmicky but might be fun to check out...wonder if the vinyl will have that or something similar?

    Awesome that you are diving in head first with a friend. You are spot on with your first observations about them and GOGD. Ive seen TOOL over 20 times since 1998 and been listening to them from before. They've been psychedelic since the first album and Al Jorgensen (Ministry) apparently dosed them during a 1991 Lollapalooza tour stop. Al was living with Tim Leary in an apartment at the time and would give him liquid to take on tours. Well, Al would put some in Jack Daniel's before every tour stop and would drink it before and during a show, one day he passed the bottle off to the next young man walking on stage, after a congratulatory "great show!". He forget he had dosed the bottle and the rest is history. TOOL while heavy and not your typical "tripping" music, but is more akin to the feeling some might get smoking large amounts of DMT or being blasted apart in fractalized white light at the heart of a galaxy. Heavy? Yes. Psychedelic? Oh most certainly but only for the most intrepid of travelers. I mean Third Eye came out in 1998, and if that's not psychedelic, I quit life. Once anyone starts down the TOOL rabbit hole, listen to the lyrics (they make tongue in cheek references to the GD), understand how they put their music together (Lateralus is nice example), and check out their art ya know it's nothing but from the divine. Maybe not so much the Ken Kesey crowd vibe, more so the Tim Leary vein, but both are cut from the same "cloth." One of their songs that mentions the GD though in a somewhat sarcastic and possibly mocking tone is called "Lost Keys(Blame Hoffman)"->"Rosetta Stoned". Not that they mock the GOGD just the prevalence of "Estimated Prophets" that Bobby has already warned of :)

    Anyone who starts collaborating with Alex Grey to start do their artwork has been off the deep end more than once. :)

    In case its not obvious I'm obsessed with TOOL, and they are carrying the torch of psychedelic expansion, personal evolution, and disruption of perception of established social norms more than any "band" around right now. And like most hard trips, it's not really acceptable for many, if most jamband music is akin to mushrooms, TOOL is like a shaman mainlining ayahuasca into your cerebral cortex.

    It's all finally on streaming platforms after all these years so check it out. Aenema is arguably the single greatest rock album ever made, though that's a hard sell when all their albums are THAT good.

    I could make more comments but feel like I've said too much, like someone's first experiences with psychedelics it should develop naturally without too much input from some one else. "Just start climbing that spiral up and out, and watch out for your brother (and sisters)."

....THAT'S the sound that perked my ears back in the day. The old news is now the new news.

Interesting article on the above. There have also been articles in British newspapers on ketamine, suggesting that it could be more effective in helping people with depression than the old tried, tired and tested medications.
Certainly, my mental health improved exponentially after my period of taking mushrooms regularly between 1987 and 1993. I didn't take them because I felt I was suffering from depression, but looking back to my behaviour before, during and after, it seems likely I was. Between 1987 and 1993 I met my two main partners and returned to university to get a professional qualification. The second relationship last 10 years and the career 20. Not a lifetime-but long enough!

5 16 72 Big River soundcheck....Garcia singing lead. Everything sounds better with Jerry on it....why Garcia passed the baton on vocals? He was (is) a humble soul.

Also love Stella Blues from 1972.

Check out 8 21 72 BCT and 11 19 72 Texas.....

Then, to blow out the pipes: DARK STAR 2.13.70 and 4.28.71

Couldn't find the soundboard, but listening to The DEAD's "Days Between" from 9/19/03 via the "OK" AUD on the Archive. Always been a favorite from the latter-day song book, but even more so now. Glad Gollum sparked your recommendation. Now if I could just find that soundboard. . .

The email announcing this set has a button to pre-order the high-def flacs. I don't see it on dead.net. I don't buy physical products anymore (except Dave's because there's no downloads). I'm wondering why no high def link on the site. Anyone out there know?

Love the high def flacs. The Northwest "box" sounds AMAZING when played on the big fat stereo.

Dyslexia strikes again. If I actually read the product description, it says flacs will be available on release day. I tend not to read everything because it takes forever. That and the fact that I cooked my coconut when I was young.

Suppose you could add Chicago, Baltimore, etc. to the list.

That's my choice for today's listening; Bill Graham's intro is so appropriate today.

So yesterday I drove down to Phoenix (about a three hour drive) for a concert at the Musical Instrument Museum...I arrived in town about 1:30 PM which gave me plenty of time to shop at a few music and book stores...lo and behold I found a used Fillmore West box set for $99!!! Granted the box itself was slightly beat up but everything else is fine...so so so happy...found a ton of other good stuff, pretty much blew my allowance for the next three weeks but das cool...now the Mrs won't be home until tomorrow night from visiting relatives in So Cal so time to blast the tunes...I went to Phoenix to see Peter Asher and Albert Lee... a killer two and a half hour show of great stories and music...when I left the gig a massive thunderstorm was drenching Phoenix and slowed me on my way home...got home about 2:45 AM and was at work by 7:30 AM...yuck...done for the day now, time to scare the neighbors!!! After a nap of course...

Brilliant guitarist-possibly the best country player ever to come out of these fair isles. I saw both him and Peter Asher, together with James Burton about three years ago supporting Jerry Lee Lewis. I was hoping Albert Lee and James Burton would come out and play with the Killer on a few numbers-but it wasn't to be.

I don't see much in common with the Dead and European Art Music or whatever we're supposed to call Classical music these days either. Phil might argue though, and Seastones does have connections to some Varese and Stockhausen. The only rock artist I can name who is truly fluent in classical music compositional techniques is Zappa. "Make A Jazz Noise Here" being a perfect example.

Nappyrags was my innocent attempt to come up with a user name for a Dylan site i used to frequent ages ago until they shut down...I was going for Napoleon In Rags but was told it was already in use so....I thought it was hilarious when someone from the UK asked me if I knew it was slang for baby diapers (Is this true?) so now you know the rest of the story...

He is one of my favourite guitarists, and it was great to see and hear him support Jerry Lee. In fact, I was so impressed I bought a signature James Burton telecaster a few days later. Its a pearl white one-not one of the flamejobs, but it sounds great and plays like a dream. Although I think James Burton must have more fingers than me.

And yes...a nappy is a kind of underpants for babies in the UK.

I saw Albert Lee with Emmylou's Hot Band at the Olympia in Paris, right after Burton left in 1977; caught James Burton with Jerry Lee at the Circle Star in San Carlos in 1984 or 85, excellent show; JLL also had Bob Moore on bass and Buddy Harman on drums, both of them Nashville studio A veterans.... I think Hank Ballard opened the show; incidentally, He wrote and recorded the original Tore Up Over You.
Another of my favorite Country guitar slingers is Roy Nichols; he played with the Maddox Bros. and Rose, and was with Merle Haggard's Strangers for the rest of his life. Yes...and Don Rich was awesome too!

Heads up UK heads , you can pre order the one off show 3cd set on amazon for £22 quid . ( cheaper than dead.net and no potential postal issues ) Probably best avoid dead.net for the time being . Unless of course you absolutely have to have the box set . 😺

So, I unfortunately have only had a chance to read all these posts within the last 14 hours. There are so many things to say, but I feel brevity is best here. I will never allow someone else's "opinion" to upset me. People who need to validate themselves by insinuating that their likes are more "valid" than others' are simply suffering from an ego imbalance that is likely from long ago. I guess the young folks call them "trolls" now. I was told about 20 years ago, "Other peoples opinions of me are none of my business". That has served me well.
As far as the box, I will be happy to buy the single show option, grateful to save a little money.
Regarding Dave's 31, on second listen, I like it better than first. I also really like the 3 "bonus" tracks. I'm surprised no one has talked about the Cosmic Charlie tease at the end of Truckin'. One of my favorite moments of the show.

P.S. I realize that brevity played no part of this post!! 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Doe not seem like a lot of excitement for the box. The number will be 10,000. It reminds me of Spring 90 too. I bought it but was unhappy with the release. It turned out to be a real sleeper the best sound of the boxes so far. The UJB on rolling stone .com sounds better. I think people will be happy with this one. The box last year was a bit of a disappointment. My two favorite years but not the greatest shows. Did Dave leave the door open for maybe another release this year. Did he now say there are things still to come this year. Release 8-1-73 and 2-9-73 . They both outclass Rfk and watkins glenn in my opinion

Hey, I've noticed that I often have multiple items in my cart. If I add something, close out without purchasing and then later go back to purchase it, the original and newly added items are both there. I've always noticed before I've finalized my purchase, but thinking this may have happened to you.

Good luck!

I really like as a deadhead when you stumble on something you have never seen or heard before!!! (Like the 78 July Soundboards)... You even get to see Keith singing!!!! ANyone have any color on this... was anyone there?? So clear to see also... Keith is amazing on the piano... I am a Donna fan and her voice is amazing especially on Stir it UP... Heard about the show before but never saw or heard it... Thanks Bob t

Where are they performing, the Bat Cave?

My basement seems bigger..

I have to wonder.. because I know what JGB used to cost and how small this place looks. How could they afford to carry band around the country playing in places this small?

On my first listen, just getting to the second song, After Midnight. I wonder who the apparently buzzed biker looking dude is that took over the mike asking for country songs or something?? The look on Keith's face is priceless.

I should read posts completely before posting.
I got all excited 'cause I thought he was talking about Jerry and Merl from 9-5-73 on the S.S. Bay Belle. Also in N.Y. City Harbor for a Hells Angels party. Billy the Drummer on the kit. Also, supposedly the first appearance of The Wolf.
I guess the Angels liked to party on boats...?

now that things have settled down a bit here, I will comment on this box. I will not order it. I have enough Dead. I won't go to the site. I will not order it. I can't not order it. I have not heard 3 of these 5 shows. I will not order it. I went to the site. I will not order it. I can't not order it, I must have all dead releases. Why am I so addicted to this band? I can not not order it, I must order. I will wait for the reviews and then order, I can not not order, I am a sucker for the dead. Why can't I only order the video? I won't order this box. I ordered the box, why can't I just say no? It's like a drug, I am addicted. I need help. Can I cancel my order? No, don't cancel my order. Will it be a good box with non skipping cd's? Will I be happy? Will the sun shine on my backdoor someday? It's all too much, I must get away from here. I must order. I will wait. Damn it, why is this such a hard decision? It's just a box, why am I so addicted to this band? Someone help me.

Anyone else excited for the new tool album being released at the end of the month? I’m beyond excited for this release! Some fresh Artwork and 7 long songs, about 90 minutes I read somewhere!!!! Hot damn I’m stoked for this one:)!
Spinning darkstar from 6/24/73 this morning, amazing sums it up;)
I’m a huge 70s dead fan, 73-77 is my favorite era but the release of this box set has me listening to that era as of late, 89-91 mainly, really digging on some 91 ! Different beast but I still enjoy it immensely. Plus the technology and recording techniques, I mean for me , someone that loves the dead it’s fun to get some variety and some unexpected twists and turns, I love the 70s and that’s my peak dead but it’s fun to go for the ride through all the eras and see all the transitions, sonically and physically.
That doesn’t mean I support the release of poor performance and shitty quality albums , and I honestly don’t see Dave doing that just giving us a
Pallet with many colors ✌️

Ha.. you seem to have a problem.

Perhaps you could switch to reading books as a way to cure your addiction.

Might I suggest Dr. Seuss? My favorite is One Box, Two Box, Red and Blue Box.

___________________________________________

I am (Unkle)Sam, USam I am. I do not want this 91 Box, I will not buy it even if it rocks.

Would you, could you, from the Fox?

I would not buy a Box from Fox, I would not, could not buy that box.

Would you, could you, from Red Rocks?

I would not buy that Red Rocks Box, I would not, could not from the Rocks.
Not from the Fox, not from Red Rocks, I do not want this box that rocks.

Needs a little work, but it's early yet.

"Do you like my hat?"

"I do not like your hat."

"Goodbye!"

"Goodbye!"

(One of my favorite Dr. Seuss exchanges from 'Go Dogs Go'....). This is what 3 kids 5 and under gets 'ya.

As for This box:

It surely rocks! I would buy it from a fox! I would buy Red Rocks! I would buy it even wearing socks!
This box Rocks!

But VGuy, WHAT songs did they play at that training practice? I mean, if they seemed sleepy, they clearly weren't in the correct headspeace and/or not enough mustard on those tunes. I would hope that a crazy live string of improv from say, '68, or some jazzy '73 was played but that seems not to be the case here. Maybe that dude on the Eagles needs a helping hand on his "picks"....steer him here.

So Sixtus, curious and have been meaning to ask, how you handled the situation with the Dead End sign...recent move and all? Is it hanging in your new garage?
