    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.

    I do feel bad that some will have to wait till next year for new music I really wish there was another smaller box coming of another era I would buy it in a minute.

    What’s the worst that could happen, you make more money?

    Or at least offer it with the CD.
    Kind of like Crimson, White, and Indigo; Sunshine Daydream; Egypt.

    Does that mean that a VHS would then come with the vinyl?

    I ordered the BluRay Box. Looking forward to it. A nice addition to the collection.

    It’s been a good Jerry Week so far. I didn’t make it to the movie but I did order this Box, received and have listened to DaP 31 twice, and JGB 11-11-93 was at my door when I got home and is about to go in the CD player.

    Do Rolling Stones fans bash former Stones members when the new live release isn’t the one they wanted?

    Do Allman Brother’s Band fans bash former ABB members when the new live release isn’t the one they wanted?

    I’m grateful for all releases.
    Keep them coming Dave/Rhino/TPTB.
    Just please, put a little more effort into quality control and logistics.

    Just for the record: love the band, don't care for the era, I was there so it's not knee-jerk, uninformed choice. I choose not to attack or use personal insult. If somebody gets a box because I pass, good for them. Many don't care for the 90s, or 80s, 70s, or 60s. Me, I like the 50s.

    Besides, life's too short, had one stroke already, not planning on a second because I don't like the current release. If I did, I'd have 30 strokes already.

    This is why there's different flavors of ice cream. Some mysteriously prefer pistachio, while we all know that coffee chocolate chip peanut butter cup cookie dough is the best...…….

    Settle down easy,

    Box Set and Brent Bashing

    I’m delighted for those who’ve been asking for more 80s and 90s Dead, this box is for you guys. I might buy the single show but I won’t be buying the box. I’ve bought around 80% of the releases since One From The Vault came out 28 years ago and, on the basis of these purchases, formed the view that the quality of their performance deteriorated markedly during the latter years of the Dead’s existence. That isn’t to say there weren’t still great moments and great shows, but that, for me anyway, they became fewer and further between.

    I’m not particularly disappointed that this box isn’t for me; I have more than enough GD to keep me going, I’m pleased I won’t need to justify another GD box to my wife, I’m also pleased I don’t have to find another $150 (nearer $200 when U.K. delivery and import duties are taken into account) and then of course this release probably means we’ll be back to something a little more up my street next year. Right now I’m also slightly reluctant to spend any more money at dead.net until the DP31 European shipping fiasco is resolved and left behind.

    Despite not being a particular fan of the 80s and 90s, I really don’t get or like the Brent bashing. My lack of passion for this era has very very little to do with him. Indeed, I say his keyboard playing is one of the more positive aspects of late 80s GD. For me the problem stems from basic musicality; playing in tune and playing in time and together, the latter in particular becomes a more frequent problem for the GD as the years go on. The nadir for me is the Warlocks box which, whilst not without the occasional bright point, is at times cringingly embarrassing. So much that when hearing it for the first time I was half expecting someone to come on from the wings waving their arms and shouting “stop... stop.... STOP! Sorry guys, you’re just not getting it”. That said, I find much of Terrapin Limited, the second disc in particular, reciorded around 6 months later, nothing short of outstanding. I guess that’s the GD for you, particularly the GD in their latter years.

    Then there’s Garcia’s voice, which becomes more and more of a disappointment as the years go on. Others have said they don’t listen to the GD for the singing; I don’t either, but the dead wrote a many truly magnificent songs and it’s always a pleasure to hear these played and sung really well.

    There are other reasons to . . . those interminably tedious Dylan covers for instance . . . but aside from mediocre songwriting (something that wasn’t unique to Brent), these have very little to do with Brent.

    Each to their own. I wish all of you who purchase this box, particularly those who’ve been waiting for something this era, happy listening. I’ll enjoy looking forward to the next 1970s box and spending my $150 on something else 😎

    34 here.

    First Dead related show..err 6/17/17 Dead & Co at Fenway. Loved it until someone passed out in front of us and some Karen screamed at us for not doing anything for him, as the medics arrived. She had her hand on his shoulder, really stepping up where we didn't. Thanks for your help. Go to hell.

    8 Dead & Co shows now, still a work in progress. More to come.

    Still learning in all eras, coming up on 5 years of starting a 'deeper dive' into the Dead, beyond the big albums, etc. I did pick up the May '77 boxset as well as 11/30/80 randomly in 2013, they were...bewildering compared to Skeletons in the Closet and Europe '72, Vol 1.

    Know very little post-Brent, what was in 30 Trips, etc. Looking forward to all three years in the new set. Used to only know Bruce Hornsby for the song he wrote for 2pac. (.....joke)

    Fired up Dave's 31 for the first time as well, first disc in the car today. Keith is the best acoustic pianist they had in my opinion, that was rock n' roll piano, but Brent's energy and the addition of the B3 is a needle mover. As Sean Connery said in You Only Live Twice:

    Bond: Why do Chinese girls taste different than other girls?
    Ling: You think we better
    Bond: No, just different. Like Peking duck is different from Russian caviar, but I love them both.
    Ling: Darling, I give you very best duck

    Ok that's a terrible out-dated and inappropriate example. Scratch that.

    Waiting for a Dylan Fall tour announcement, as well as the next Bootleg Series (potentially). Sounds like they are exploring '67-69 which will be interesting, though it's been partially covered already. Any John Wesley Harding outtakes would be very interesting. With both being on Columbia, I can see them doing the Dylan / Cash sessions from '69 officially as well. While historic given the two of them, they really are not that good, in my opinion.

    I did get some Dead exposure through Dylan before I knew them better. My first show was in 2006 during college, got in heavily in the year prior, but I heard the boots. When Jerry died, Dylan did dust off Friend of the Devil against in September '95, staying (randomly) in the repertoire through 2002 with a one off at Red Rocks in 2007. But the other tune he chose, starting in October 1995....obviously Alabama Getaway.

    I'd hear talk about this great songwriter Robert Hunter that Dylan teamed up with, the results being Silvio and The Ugliest Girl In The World. :/

    He also joined up with him on Together Through Life, an album I LOVE but maybe not the greatest songwriting testament for these two pillars of the western world. But I don't care, I love it. And despite some silly writing, the peaks are actually great songs.

    Here's one I was at, great show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYC6VKnPhks

    And a Getaway, before my time (not sure why they chose a '66 photo but sure): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPpmF3154As

    My First Show and Age

    All this has become very tricky since I met Bolo and have subsequently had Witness Protection issues, multiple passports, etc...

    My current passport states I am 53, 4/19/82 was my first show. I found my self face to face with with two quite pleasant pieces of paper; nothing has been the same since but in a good way.

    Mama, mama many worlds I've come since I first left home.

    Hey guys and gals, please resist the temptation to call others out by name.. the back and forth is giving me whiplash, and to what end? There is no reason for it.. be general, be positive and push the conversation along. Is it my imagination or does this shit always seem to happen around election time? Perhaps we are all being played?

    Good movie, btw.. whiplash. See it.

    First show

    I loved the first show I saw, in March 1981, but to have seen them in 1972 would have been amazing. I was 15 then, and a shade too young to travel out of my hometown to go to London. Any case, I didn't know who The Dead were in 1972-I saw T. Rex and David Bowie in then-great, but a long way off.
    But those final shows of the tour, at the Lyceum-maybe they were the best ever played by the band on these shores? Great sounding venue, too, going off the sleeve notes for the cds. Bickershaw is a great show, and some of the other bands/artists performing were great-but I didn't much like big festivals-and that one doesn't look to rosy in the pictures.
    Spacebrother- good to read that you are in fine fettle and enjoying life. Don't let the naysayers grind you down. I must say I enjoy being 62 more than I did being 26. You never know what the future holds, but so far so good!

fun video, technologically challenge. I was reading the Youtube comments, they were pretty funny. Bodies tossed overboard, Donna facing the amps for most of the performance. Would've been fun to see the camera pan the whole audience to get an idea of the space they were playing. Sounds like a pretty decrepit boat...

I wish they'd do a box package where you buy the physical box and vinyl you'd get a free Hi Res download of that last show. Now why would they do that when you can buy all individually ;)

Hey CaseyJanes.....astute observation.

Well, for anyone else paying attention, we indeed had only TWO open houses about 3 weeks ago, and our home was IMMEDIATELY snatched up by the ensuing Monday (we had 3 offers all over ask and went with the one with NO contingencies and NO inspection - cha ching!). So the move is "on" for the middle of Labor Day week out to Sudbury.

The interesting thing here is, in fact, our destination property is ALSO on a Dead End, as in, like, the very last house on the street. BUT, sadly, there is NO DEAD END SIGN!!! So this has had me contemplating a few things:

- WHY no Dead End sign there, hmmmmmm? Seems a bit odd, but then again, the home is literally at the top of a Hill that may otherwise be perceived as a private drive, but there are 3 other houses on the same street

- Can I put a Dead End sign up at the end, just outside of the property? Or would that need to be an actual DPW 'sanctioned' road sign?

- I could very well put up a Dead End sign on the home's property I believe, in which case I would try to find an actual, real, like, Dead-esque 'Dead End' sign....if such items exist (Google will be my friend here).

If anyone has any insight to these extremely important and pertinent questions, do share.

Of course, once we move in, a HUGE Dead Party will be thrown, and all you cats will be invited.

I will likely only buy single show on giant box. Like most, I generally listen in the 69 to 77 years but I also like 89-91 very much. I think then band played really well in this later stage and had a very powerful, full sound (probably from the new technology in addition to midi) and just really rocked. I also feel that bill and Mickey had a more prominent role in these yrs too. In any event . at the end of like Hell in a Bucket Jerry and band are on fire ... I love it. So even though I’m a 70’s fan, about 5- 10% of my dead listening is in the 88-91 era and I love it. I would guess there weren’t many rock and roll bands that sounded as good as dead live in 89-91. The announcement of this box had me settled in 89-91 recently. I will likely only buy the one show as I am not a completist and have about 75% of everything dead net has put out and it’s a ton of music and I just don’t listen to that much music as my main music listening time is on drive to work and I share that time with sport talk, politics, phone calls etc. Plus I go through runs where I listen to all Dead and then need to take a break with other bands. Anyways enjoy to those who go for full box. I was at the 87 show.

Sixtus, I take you are moving to Sudbury... beautiful town ... I drive right thru everyday.

As I mentioned earlier I picked up a used Fillmore West Box Set for $99...I almost jumped on it once at Amoeba in Hollywood where it was $325...looking today on Ebay I saw prices ranging from $375 (used) to $1,450 ("new" Still sealed in it's shrink wrap along with the bonus disc)...I also found the bonus disc starting at $129...whoa...guess I'll be taking the long way to work this week...Also last week I finished ripping my CDR's I had burned from the Download series, lost all the files in an HD crash...so lot's of stuff to be playing over the next couple of months...maybe I'll be needy by the time the next Dave's is released...

I hear you about just how much you can buy and in reality listen too. For the past decades I've spent 10s of thousands of dollars on cds. To the point I have 3500 titles plus a 1000 lps. Yeek! Anyway a couple of years ago I realized I had virtually everything replaced on media that will work on my thankfully very good ears. Add to that many boxes and live shows ( the Airplane have about 20 high quality live shows out). So I'm in the happy position of being able to keep my fanaticism going with the 2 bands I want everything available. GD ( which includes Jerry ) and Frank Zappa. At less than $500 a year that settles my as FZ said fetishist inclinations. And even leaves room for a couple of new bands ( very carefully checked out) and maybe a Neil new issue. It's worked pretty well for me. And I even got rid of cable. Enjoy your choices and here's to a late '60's box next. Maybe it's like Animal Farm...they're all good but some are gooder than other. Sorry George lol

If money grew on trees, heck yeah I'd buy it. But I'm going to have to pass, as I know I won't get too much listening time out of it. As much Grateful Dead as I listen to, I still don't have the 60s and 70s entirely melded to my music brain. I need to absorb a band in its entirety, but the Grateful Dead is just too vast.

When is Rush going to start releasing the old live stuff they must have stored in their vault. Let's get some live Hemispheres, Cygnus X1 Book II. How about a show from the Moving Pictures tour? Exit... Stage Left is really only three sides of music from that tour. A few years ago I bought the deluxe version of 2112, which has a live version of the Overture and Temples of Syrinx from the Moving Pictures tour (that's what they opened with - can you imagine). It sounds so good. The old Beta release of Exit...Stage Left also has the ending medley of the show, which is also not on the album. Also fantastic. It's time to get this stuff released now that they're retired. Oh and if he's still alive, let's get Terry Brown back in the mix please.

Ha.. you nailed it. I just knew Fred Astaire was a deadhead, now we have irrefutable proof!

That is hilarious.

...hells yeah keg 'O suds! And Lots 'O buds!!

conekid - I like your suggestion. In fact, I did a google hunt yesterday, and surprisingly, I found NOTHING within the realm of my thoughts or yours, for that matter. Weird and surprising.

So this means I am putting out a call: Who out there is in the biznisss of making GD-related road signs?!?!? Specifically, Dead End signs, or perhaps as conekid suggested 'Dead Head Ahead' signs?!?

It seems this is a ripe opportunity for an active application of one's creativity if you happen to specialize in road signs...ha ha.
No. I'm serious. This needs to be done.

I would think any sign company can make a vinyl wrap or those corrugated vinyl signs. If somehow you came into possession of a metal sign (how this could be accomplished it will not say), a nice vinyl wrap job would be easy. As long as the sign shop was run by a pig. You know them pigs squeal!

The Fred/Jerry front.... I heard that song and that was my first thought. I wish I could tap dance because that could be a great modern tap song. I only wish I had the soft ware to make the two sync up better. Also it appears Jerry can jam longer than Fred can dance :-) I also think Fred could do a bang up job on the lyrics.

Don't remember which board, and I believe Nappy Cousin talked of them. Last night on TCM showing movies of Lena Horne, this one from 38, the duke is tops. Had a sundry of people, then they listed "specialty acts",,, and one of the listed was the cats and fiddle. Had to leave and didn't see the movie, but still chuckled over the recent comments.

I bet you $20 that as soon as that sign is placed on the road you live on, some neighbor or neighbors will complain about it. Even though you live on a dead end. There is always a douche in every neighborhood. Peace.

Was also 86 Dead, Dylan, Petty.

From OH, but did multiple Alpine's & Milwaukee's & Chicago's.

I was tardy in checking my e-mail this week. Fortunately the Blu-Ray 91box was not sold out. One deduction of $178.00 from my bank (which I can't afford of course) and I am at peace.

i must say that if there was a lot of bread in the bread box right now I would probably be in on this box ,butt if this was a greek box or pretty much anything pre-1977 or for that matter pre-1979 I would be in all the way, I may be frugal on this one but not crazy , heck ok pre-1985 , guess we all have to pick and choose , and don't forget about the money it cost to go to the shows ,dead@co ,hangtown ,high sierra, etc. enjoying the ride is not as cheap as it used to be ,or maybe im just getting older, cheers. p.s. I like what one person said about a 4/21-22-23/69 the ark box ? I'm in

Thanks to the couple of folks who've chimed in with suggestions or commentary on the Dead End sign situation....
I still like the idea suggested from another Head to accidentally hit the Dead End sign outside our house now with the moving truck and then just 'oops', take it with us, thus saving anyone the trouble of clean up. That would be totally an accident and not pre-planned...at all. :D

Also gotta remember to get the quarterboard off our back yard pergola gate which reads "The Lazy Gate" and take with.
Very important.

Since these shows are from the state I grew up in AND was at the '87 and first night '89 show I guess I'm getting this box. Looking forward to some awesome sound quality with memories.

.... woke up blind the other day, I was then rushed to the hospital ang given many tests, the doctors have found a lesion In my brain the size of a golf ball, about 4cm. It’s in the right side almost in the middle. I go for spinal tap this Thursday and more tests as well.
I feel like I’m in a twilight zone film story. Everything I see is the opposite, like looking into a mirror, my anxiety is rightist the roof! I can’t watch tv or read, only think o have left is my Dead music to guide me thru my day! I’m still in shark , I’m scared really really scared

I think these last 2 box set themes of the PNW '73-'74 and the latest based on Giants Stadium for 3 different tours is a little weird way to construct a box set. I much prefer a stretch of one tour than a hodge podge of multiple tours (save 30 Trips). I love the PNW shows too, it just seems like their stretching for a way to link some shows together they want to release. Give us a box where it's a whole stand at one theater over a week or so like The Capitol, the Fillmores, Academy Of Music, etc. I wonder if the 1978 box not selling out soured them on the idea?

I respectfully don’t agree. I like the idea of including different years from same venue in a box as less likely to get a lot of duplicate songs. I feel at times some boxes from same tour have a lot of repeat tunes as they were what dead had in rotation for that tour. It is what is. A little repeat is ok but a lot is not my preference. I think the bigger issue is did they pick the right venue that had solid shows over a number of years. I suppose to your point there always the risk that if they commit to a venue like Giants stadium and pick 5 shows it may be that only three or four are worthy of release but they planned on a 5 show box so they need add another show or two to get to 5 and those last shows aren’t worth releasing

But man, it's had me in its hooks fiercely the past 6 months or so. This one from 3/16/73 has some pretty decent sound for a board rec, I'm 8 minutes in, and it's fantastic. If I could go back in time, I would convince them 1) that I was a time traveller, and 2) to play it at least every other night in '74. Six times in 40 shows only. Seven if you count the Jam after WRS on DP 12, which the CD does not, but many set lists do (or it's referred to as "Dark Star Elements"). 1971 could have used a lot more too. A dozen Dark Stars in 82 shows. Yikes.

That 3/16/73 one went cacophony about 20 minutes in, but that's to be expected. So these soundboards I just fine random Grateful Dead artwork on the internet and use them for my digital album covers. The March 16th show has a Bertha skeleton riding on a terrapin. So that album is album "Terrapin and Bones"

"Haze Over Utica" from 3/21/73. Not quite as enticing at fik , but that's okay, it rolls right in two Philly 73, March 24th ( I have a folder for each year with just the dark stars in it). The Philly one is actually a two-parter, where the first part is just called Jam, but it sounds much more Dark Star than the one on Dick's Picks 12. Anyway, part 2 just started and I am blissed.

....oh man LMG. Walking on eggshells here, but I will say one thing. Actually, I didn't say it....
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." ~ Isaiah 41:10
If this offends anyone, pass it on or pm me.
Keep strong my brother. Friends abound, and are concerned and love you.

Just listened to UJB from the Rolling Stone listening party sample. There's something to be said for these 48 track masters. No idea what they're recording on half of them, but they sound great. I love the atmosphere that Hornsby's synth brought, Jerry is where he needs to be in the mix, and Bobby sounds great here (better than his tone in '78 IMHO). And they just plain sound good. Can't wait to hear the Dark Star interludes.

Hang tight and remember,
When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro!
