    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.

    Yes, sell the video separately

    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!

No one here said poorly run countries are socialist, but that socialist countries by design are poorly run.
Peace through surrender is the peace of the grave

....I think this started because I brought up Jane Fonda.
And yeah. I still think she sucks. And no book she wrote will change my mind. Sorry people.
And yes, the Dead's Woodstock Lovelight needs to be locked away into deepest the Indiana Jones type tomb and sealed forever.

Having just watched Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock on dvd I have to wonder if this was a man or a God.

I am not going to comment on Jane Fonda sucking.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

There is a version of Spike Driver Blues on the JGB release On Broadway, October 28, 1987. I can't say anything else as I haven't actually picked it up yet, I keep meaning to and then getting distracted with something else. Now that I'm thinking about it, I probably ought to pick it up.

I never learned how to be a proper American, and I understand it is easier to attack others with Fox News talking points, waving arms, and veiled insults. Sadly it just reinforces my point that this beautiful country is slipping into the hands of fascists and their sheeple. But you so eloquently stated that, "the future that can't be finally won because of silly people who never learn nevr study."

I guess I "never learn nevr study" and the path to the future I want for myself and younger generations is not paved in bodies, napalm burns, chemical weapons, and UXO, but empathy and prescient action guided by actual knowledge. Oh well me get smartr quick wen I think reel nice.

Anyway, I'm not concerned. "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice", and I would tend to agree. Backing us up we have people like Martin Luther King Jr., Dr. Seuss, Ken Kesey, Maya Angelou, Allen Ginsberg, Mr. Rodgers, the Dalai Llama and too many other quality human beings to count. What you guys got Tucker Carlson, Nixon, Xi, Ailes, Putin, and Trump? Nice team. I'm game for a match and I'm patient. History will favor the peacemakers not the family destroyers. Lastly, have you looked into how this band feels about this presidency and Republican goals? It's interesting you can tolerate the music makers but feel such unpatriotic disdain for myself and other citizens. Confusing to say the least.

You want to "win" the future and that's exactly the problem, it's not a trophy and it's not yours to take home, it belongs to those of us yet to come. Situation Normal All Fucked Up is not the world I want to leave my kids, if you think to leave that for future generations to inherit is a good idea, wow, I got nothing, except...

"All you got to live for,
Is what you left behind"

Hope everyone is enjoying the tail end of summer. It's what we wait all winter for in WI.

That said, I'm in Seattle now for a short visit and am looking forward to Woodland Park and maybe Green Lake in a bit.

Be Kind! :-)

Ain't you just so hip. Unfortunately for human beings it is a war for the future. If the side of imperfect free doesn't win the side represented by those I mentioned earlier will rule. Guided by Marx, Lennon, and Mao.
There is no permanent win because when one totalitarian state falls there's plenty of people like you to come back 20 years later. Venezuela is the latest example of that. And of course the Armand Hammers are always ready to sell the rope
You don't study, that much is obvious. As for setting up the straw man of perfection you need to look in the mirror. Fox news make me laugh, those of us who know the truth were around decades before them.
So go ahead float through life, ignorance truly is bliss until it catches up to you

Mod on: It is one thing to hold differing opinions. We all do. It is another, and not okay here, to impugn the intelligence, character, or other fine qualities of people who disagree with you. You insult people here, you will get blocked. I am not going to go back and delete every mildly derogatory political post for the last few days, but. It stops now. Thank you. Mod off.

I am going to deftly avoid this argument, though I know where I stand on the issues. So, this box set has me a little intrigued, more so than some others. The two 1989 shows is what really gets my attention. For the 1991 shows, the first night looks bland and the second night looks nice. However, I attended the Soldier Field show that year and I remember the constant Dark Star teases from Bruce drove me crazy-- and then they never really did it! The post-Brent era doesn't do it for me, generally. If a relative got me this one as a gift, I would be happy.

Speaking of Brent era, DaP 31 has me flummoxed. I always liked DiP 5 and the previous night's show released as a Road Trips. In fact, the 2nd set that makes up DiP 5 was one of the first tapes I had back in the day. Sorry, this show doesn't do it for me in the least.This pick may be my least favorite of all. I received it two-plus weeks ago and am just now finally finishing disc 3-- it grabbed me that little. The first set is fine (some folks complained about the Althea, I rather like this version), but the second set has several dirge-like versions of fine songs-- looking at you Terrapin and Wharf Rat. The Scarlet solo is clunky chords from Jerry and Lost Sailor and Saint are raw and underdeveloped at this stage. The Truckin' outtro jam is good, though.

I get that they want to diversify offerings in the series and I like getting a good Brent show-- hell, Brent was my guy when I was going to shows (1988-95, never felt they had 'it' after he died). This one is not a great show. If they need to put out Brent shows, let's explore more 1989-- nothing from Spring tour has been released and fall has seen minimal releases. Summer 1990, summer 1985, summer 1984 all have fine shows. I don't know what I am hearing that is different from folks who love this release-- different strokes for different folks, I guess.

I have been on a BIG Woodstock high for the past week. I am currently spinning The Very Best of Canned Heat.
As Fried Hockey Boogie begins, Alan Wilson introduces Larry "The Mole" Taylor on bass, and then a couple of seconds later I see here that he has died! Unbelievable!

R.I.P. Mole

Rock on

Dark Star is 80% good

They just kind of get stuck and dont know where to take it after that 80%

Appropriate lyrics in High Time which morphs out of Dark Star

"I'm having a hard time"

Given the folklore, they probably were.

I have not been a huge fan of post Brent Dead. I was really sad when he passed. However, I will say, the 6/17/91 show that I saw at the MUATM absolutely rocks. It really changed my mind on at least 91 shows. And to have these shows in 48 track, I can't wait to listen to these shows as well as the 24 track shows from 87 and 89. We need to support these releases and I hope they are able to sell out the 10,000 run! And more to come.

Not sure what the Vegas Odds are on these picks... but here goes.

#32 just has to be 1969. There are a lot of shows from this period from the vault.. decent recordings for the era and it's due. Besides.. it's the 50th anniversary for these shows, he almost has to.

#33 and the subscription attention getter. 12/18/73. Why? I think they have it and it kicks ass. Honorable mention 5/26/77 Baltimore Civic Center.

#34 and bonus disc. If they don't do 12/18/73, then a four disc wonder from the summer of 73. Otherwise.. a twofer from 76 or 71.

#35 and #36 could pull two shows from Summer '85, fall '80, spring '78 or summer or fall '84.

So a fortune teller, a republican, a democrat, a catholic priest and three monkeys all walk into a bar on a hot Saturday night and the priest says...

I too was “meh” about post Brent until I put some time in. The big 91 game changer was finally getting the view from the vault release and was pleasantly surprised. Recently I finally got around to the 30 trips 91 show, and that also was a nice surprise.....so goes to show.....just gotta poke around!
It seems not the general consensus here, but I’m getting stoked for this box. I’ve had the first set and start of second from the 87 show and it’s decent enough. Have always like 89, though I would prefer some more fall tour, Philly anyone? Dave, tap, tap, tap, is this thing on? And as mentioned above 91s been growing on me lately. Throw in the 48 track factor and yeah, I’m hoping it’s a good box!
Will it be E72, nope, will it be Fillmore, nope, will it be the Scobby Doo house, nope, but so what, it’ll still be some good ole GD and in amazing audio splendor! And finally some more video too!
Bring it!

Ok, hope things are sane here again? Yeeshk
I go see 2 nights of Rocky Mountain Folk fest, Nate and the Nightsweats on Monday, could of gone to Warren VIP at the rocks on Sunday but I just can’t do three or four days anymore.
Anyway, I come back from such fun and positive connections with folks to such noise, and that’s like what, 2 times in a few weeks? And things had been so nice around here for quite a while. Great spirit help us!

12-18-73
With bonus disc the missing songs from 12-19-73.
Wait, scratch that.
Complete 12-19-73 needs to be Plangentized along with 12-18-73. That would make a very nice mini Box.

... I swear I have no stake in this!

This Sunday, at the Union Brewery in Baltimore, Chris Jacobs (an AMAZING local guitar player,) and his band "The Ravens Space Cowboys", including one Graham Lesh, are recreating all of 4/19/82 - Baltimore Civic Center! And as far as a brewery, Union is truly one of the finest! Tix. are $20!

All day before the show, they are doing a full on vendor fair called "The Shakedown." Food trucks, hippie vendors, great beer!

Also, 4-!9-82 - Start to finish!

If you can get to B' more, this is totally worth it! This Sunday - Lots open early- show is around 6ish...

Peace

PS - I swear I have no stake in this, other than I'm fucking STOKED!

That's what the three monkeys are for..

Speaking of Zuck.. he was last heard from while developing the hybrid Carolina Reaper for use in his new brand of hot sauce. The seeds fell into the wrong hands..

Don't try this at home, kids..

Re: Otis.. that was my first show. Not sure I can pull this off though. Man.. was a psychedelic night. It was a dark and stormy night, Wasn't It? and the bus came by.

You are definitely right about poking around. I love being surprised by these guys and it has happened many times. I also listened to the 30 Trips 91 show last week. Great show.! Just wait tell you see the Blu-ray, the Eyes opener blew me away.
I think we are due for a 73 show soon again, maybe 32.

I really have no idea what 32 might be, but I do like the idea of a '69 release and given the 50th anniversary of the year it seems like a good choice to close out the years picks. Mainly I'm just hoping for something with good sound, other than that I'm not too invested in which particular show or year they release next. I will join the others who have mentioned Summer '85 as release worthy, SPAC in particular.

I am definitely stoked for this box. Given the multitrack source material I am hoping for sound to rival or exceed the Spring '90 TOO box, a box which has fantastic sound. I'm curious how long it will take to sell out.

I think the next Dave’s Pick will be an early Keith show. In an earlier video this year, Dave mentioned the variety of what has been released. He mentioned Pigpen and Tom, Keith and Donna with two drummers, Brent, etc. Going off of that, I think the next pick with be 71-74 where there’s Keith and one drummer.

I have not seen anyone discuss, but I have been wondering if Live Dead will be included in the 50th re-issue series, and if so what the bonus material would be. Since this year is also the 50th of this album.
