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.

Morning Rockers!

Trainwreck I gave you a flip remark last night because I was in the car and couldn't really respond. Let me preface my comment by saying I listen to the Pacific Northwest box set often and as dead Vikes said it gets better all the time, those 73 shows. In my humble opinion the 1974 shows from that box set sound better then any other 1974 release. I'll say that with a caveat that there are a few that are just as good. Skeleton Skaters from Winterland is one such example. 30 Trips '74 is another. Obviously the movie soundtrack doesn't count because it's a multi-track and of course it sounds great. But yeah, the 73 shows from Pacific Northwest are at the lower Echelon of sound quality for the officially released 1973 shows at least to my ears. To your point the first show that has Bird Song on it is a notch better. But hey, I also find when I listen to one of those shows for a long duration I get used to the sound quality. Your ears get this sort of audio desensitization. Kind of like when you walk into a room with a bad smell but then it doesn't seem so bothersome after 15 minutes.

So I went on this insane quest last night after the announcement of Dave's Picks 32 to list all of the Spectrum shows I saw. I had to use a couple of websites to nail down the dates, and some of these we're at the new Arena that they built in the mid-90s which has had a lot of different names. But most of the shows we're at the original Spectrum. I had the privilege of seeing the last event at both JFK stadium in Philly and the Spectrum. JFK of course was the Grateful Dead with Crimson White and Indigo, and the Spectrum was Pearl Jam the night before Halloween.

I have to say I am shocked at how many shows I saw just at this one venue. This doesn't count any other venue in that Broad Street complex or the Greater Philadelphia area or shows I've seen all over New Jersey New York and even as far south Baltimore. This may only be 30% of my total concert goings. Could put a kid through college. For occasions where the band played multiple nights on a visit to town, I put all the nights on one line. So the list is even worse than it appears but... It's all right.

80sFan you must have been at at least a couple of these I would think. It got late and I did not get passed 2009 comma but I thought it was appropriate to just stop at Pearl Jam since that was the last show at the actual Spectrum.

Pearl Jam 10/30/09
The Who 10/26/08
Rush 6/14/08

Yes 8/26/94 ( Chris Squire and Trevor Rabin were at the WMMR Studio the day of the show. I called the station to see if I could say hello to them comma not really thinking that anyone would pick up the phone while there were high-profile guests in the studio, but they picked up one one ring. I said hello can I speak to Chris squire? They said sure and two seconds later the familiar voice was on the other end of my phone. I was so unprepared for the spur of the moment incident that I didn't quite know what to say so I blurted out that I loved his solo album Fish Out of Water. I had recently acquired it on vinyl as it had long been out of print. He was thrilled, and let me tell you I couldn't get the guy off the phone! The call ended with me telling him I would be in attendance that night from the fourth row. He said wear something sexy. Everybody laughed on the air oh, it was a killer moment)
Rush 4/29 & 4/30 - 1994
Rush 12/1 & 12/3 - 1991 ( my brother worked for Spectacor and those days, which was a merchandising company of some sort that was located at the Spectrum. That man he could get into the Spectrum whenever he wanted and so we went to see one of the sound checks. We kept to the side so they wouldn't see us because we didn't want to get booted out. We got to see them do a couple of songs and then we went to the section right above the entrance behind the stage to the dressing room and waited for them to walk a couple feet below us. We missed meal because we didn't get there quickly enough but we said hello to Geddy and Alex. They came a minute apart or so and Alex waved and said hello and smiled and kept going. When Geddy came by my brother said hey we're big fans, I risked my job to come say hello. Now Geddy didn't seem too pleased that we were there. He said oh well hi then and kept going.)

F dead.net

Put in my dispute on my CC this morning. No response from CS about my order. Might wait on early dead but not this. Its impossible to believe that dead.net can't get one, not even one, of the releases to go out without problems.

Prior to the AM Dew on this '87 Giants Box....

....Bobby tells the crown to "take a step back like Walking Like An Egyptian". I paraphrased that, but to this day, I still do that dance when I hear it. Because it's a good song and I like The Bangles. Win. Win.
They even played with them in The Big Easy in '88.

Trainwrecked/PNW

Trainwrecked, I think we never know for sure how the sound quality will end up being with the early 70s shows. You know how it goes, some are top notch, others not so much. Just imagine if they recorded 73 like they recorded E72 with the remote truck. Mind blowing. I know what you are saying about PNW. I think the 73 shows after the first song, are awesome. They get better after they have been put away and brought back out again. 74 and wall of sound shows are always a different animal, especially in two track. Not an expert but I think it had to do with the two microphone set up and how that ends up sounding on recordings. For sure sounded great live but has a different sound to it on these releases. Certainly not bad, just different. I even think 73 sounds better than 74 with most of the releases.

On to the Spectrum, can't wait!

This has always been one of my favorite shows from 1973. We are blessed.

As an aside, the spectrum was my home arena for shows! 1973 was before my time but I’m super excited for another spectrum release. Believe we’ve already gotten a few: 1982 road trips, 2 fall1979 downloads, and the monster dicks picks from fall 72!

a real buzzkill

Is one someone who didn't even have a problem complains. I feel for those who had issues but some people make it sound like this occurs on every other order. I'll bet the total number of actual problems equals a very small percentage of the total sales. Probably no worse than Amazon or whatever. I guess that's what happens when you give people a soapbox to stand on. Like that guy the other day encouraging people to make false credit card reports by saying they did not receive their merchandise when they did and then canceling their payment. Really get a life.

Philly 73 wooooooo!

See look how bob t does it.

Dick's 33

Switching gears a bit here...

I know '76 is a hit or miss year for a lot of Heads, but after a short Hendrix marathon yesterday, I decided to spin Dick's 33 for the first time in a long while.

Reminded me how much I loved that release when it first came out. Lots of great stuff in both shows.

DaP 28 / Paradise Waits

You're welcome Exile. It was an interesting listening experience.

Skulltrip. I also popped on a '76 show a half hour ago with DaP 28. Cousins of.....avatar guy once pointed out how good Scarlet Begonias could get during the 2nd half jam in '76, before FOTM was attached to it. DP 33 is a steller example.

I am here to say - the between song banter on DaP 28 is so loud and funny. Maybe need headphonea

Re: KeithFan and DaP28

Dave's 28 is actually one of my favorite recent releases, KeithFan. It's gotten a lot of spin since it arrived in my mailbox.

And agreed on those '76 Scarlet Begonias. The '74s used to be my favorite stand alone versions for the longest time (Dave's 9 immediately comes to mind), but the ones from '76 definitely have a specific vibe that I've come to really dig.

76 and Shipping Notification

Skulltrip and Keithfan,
76 is great stuff. Haven't come across a bad release yet. Some are better than others as far as sound quality is concerned. Dick's 33 is one of the best.

No shipping notice for me yet😭.
For those that have received them, what is the expected arrival date?

Shipping Information

My notice had a tracking number link for UPS and that indicated an expected delivery date of Monday 9/23.

Skulltrip Synergy

I had less than an hour left at work and decided it has been a while since I listened to Dave's Picks Volume 9. Cranked it through my headphones and had enough time for the first five songs. The last song I listened to before walking out the door was Scarlet Begonias from DaP 9. Then I read your post in the parking lot and now I'm replying at the gas station (no more posting and driving for me :D

Tropical Storm Jerry has formed in the Atlantic....

This weed I stumbled upon recently is almost too hard to handle. Almost.

Synergistic Trip

Nice, KeithFan! I love when the big generator makes those synaptic connections. What my uncle used to call a "cosmic coincidence".

Dave's 9 is one of my fave and most played picks, and that particular Scarlet Begonias always gets me grinning. Everything about it hits my ear right in the sweet spot.

Golly-- the Release Date is…

Golly-- the Release Date is tomorrow and mine hasn't even shipped yet. Lame. Has anyone else gotten Shipping notices?

Shipping notice received

No tracking # included in the email.
It says ‘Tracking Number’, but it was blank where there was supposed to be a number.

Guess its arrival date will be a surprise.

Fingers crossed for this weekend.

No Tracking Number?

No tracking number this time around? Was it shipped UPS or USPS? Are we all praying to the gods, old and new, that this thing makes it to our front doors? Here's hoping all these box sets find their way home.

Shipping Notice

Received mine as well this morning. Same deal as others with no tracking.
I guess they are going with let's hope it gets there theory. I believe Charlie received some tracking information.
Strange way to run a business in 2019.

I got my shipping…

I got my shipping notification late on Tuesday and it did come with tracking info from UPS. It's saying it'll get here on Monday the 23rd after originally quoting me Friday the 20th. Understandable, given I'm in Houston and we're getting some flooding this week.

Due for '72

I think one of the next two Dave's Picks is going to be from Autumn 72. Maybe one of the Boston Music Hall shows from September 15th or 16th. I was just listening to the sound board of a Bird Song from the 16th and it is so so good. Any other Keith fans out there are going to enjoy the piano work he was doing on that one . It's a little low in the mix but you can definitely hear him working . The other show has a good Dark Star => Brokedown Palace (it appeared on 30 days of Dead a couple of years ago. While I would like to see it cap off 2019, I could also see him using it as the poster child for the 2020 Dave's Picks subscription. Can somebody please end this 1972 drought for fuck's sake. Give us Dark Stars. That's really the dream box set for me. Give me a 20 show box set where every show has a Dark Star. " the Dark Star Constellation". If Warner Brothers wants to put me under contract for 5 years to go marketing, I'll follow dead and Company and double the DaP subscription rate and box set production numbers. $200K a year + travel expenses and conjugal visits.

Tracking number....

....I got one. Box left Indianapolis. Slated for Monday delivery. 🤞

Shipping

The latest 45 came the same way no tracking, and it was delivered by usps. So assumed smartpost.

Dog Star Constellation

WUFF!
Sign me up!

Woo Hoo!!!

UPS says I have a package coming tomorrow from WEA D2C Distribution.

Good thing that UPS knows the tracking number.

I highly recommend signing up for a UPS My Choice account. They will email you whenever they receive a tracking number going to your address. You can then watch the progress using the app.

Cone Kid

Thanks for the information on the UPS my choice cone kid. Really cool, love the technology there. Low and behold mine is scheduled for tomorrow! Sweet!
Thank you!
Excited now.

>>> This weed I stumbled upon recently is almost too hard to handle. Almost.

I think Jerry sings a song about that,,,,

"This is the bone that killed Bob Marley,,, won't kill me"

Keithfan

Thought of you last night.

Caught a few minutes of a Johnny Knoxville movie last night (I don't usually watch Johnny), call the Ringer. He was looking to enter the special Olympics to raise money and he's being pushed by his uncle to do it. And he was Uncle Gary! Is your Gary the kind of guy who'd enter the special Olympics?

The Box

THEY tell me tomorrow by 4,,, only have word on the box,,,, not the LP's

Box Set

No shipping notification yet. Checked my order on dead.net and it tells me it hasn’t shipped yet. Let’s hope this means it is being dispatched correctly to the UK and I might see it in three weeks or so with no extra freight charges. I notice my DaP 2019 subscription says #32 is released on 1st November so only a few weeks to go.

Speaking of 72...

I recently chatted with a CS rep and said we need a Fall 72 box, her response was that they are saving 72 for the Dave's Picks series, whether that will be next we'll see?.. ;)

Box 35 MI NE of Bong

Currently, my box is parked 35 miles Northeast of Bong. Delivery set for 9/20. :-)

4/2/73

I also agree that this monster show is killer. The 'Here comes sunshine' and 'eyes' shine. Most key songs are a generous length in sweet time. Can't wait for the giants box. 4/2/73 sat in limbo till a few comments made me whip it out. Peace.

Heh, dog star

Damn google voice translator.

Dennis would you believe i have an uncle dennis as well. He shipped me my Grateful Dead starter kit, with copies of Ladies & Gentlemen, Nassau, Dozin' and....what was the 4th one...anyway.

Moses Quasar - funny you mentioned saving the '72 shows for Dave's Picks, because I was mulling over where they might make the most money on the '72 shows. Tough to say. On the one hand those shows would be a great way to sell Dave's subscriptions, but on the other hand they could make a hefty bundle of cash on a box set. I think they need to strike while the iron's hot. I would venture to say demand for 1972 will never be higher than it is right now. It does stand to lose it's high stock price over time though, as Dead & Co won't last forever (definitely helps sales), and we ain't all getting younger.

DaP 21

I also revisited 4/2/73 after seeing the comments here the last couple of days, and it did not disappoint. Great sound and a smoking show throughout. As noted, the Eyes is pretty stellar.

1972

Like a fine wine in a vintage year.. these shows will likely cellar well for decades to come and do nothing but increase in value. Love them as I do, D&C is a mere thin and fizzy champagne in comparison.

Who knows what will become of all the 72 shows, when and how they will get released and I suspect not all are in the vault just yet. There appears to be shows that do circulate as glorious soundboards that Dave has not been able to get his grubby little paws on just yet.

I am also suspect that a customer service rep would give out details like this without them getting leaked to the real insiders.. but this is all speculation. I don't think this really gives us anything to go on.

One way to look at things from this point forward is.. when they break it all down, box sets vs. special releases vs. Dave's Picks all sell for about the same price per disc (give or take). This most recent box set is slated to sell 16k copies and it spans 87 through 91. The last box set will one day sell 15k copies. Dave's Picks is easily selling 20k copies and if they have to string us along with the occasional kind 1972 Normanized nugget, I'd call it pretty savvy marketing.

Either way, the business model is the same. They are spreading out the really good shows and in order to buy them, you have to get a box with a few crème de la crème with a few surrounding shows mixed in. The same with Dave's Picks. If you want the releases, they are going to temper the great with the other releasable shows that many people like and are still in high demand, yet not quite anthems.

That's all good with me. $100 a year plus a box and a vinyl disc or two.

As far as 1972, there are many in the fall that qualify as stupendous 5 star shows. My wish list is an October Fox Theatre box followed one week later by the rest of the August BCT shows in a box save the rest as tent poles to the Dave's Picks series. Vault crack, I know.. but hey I guy can dream, right?

I would settle with a 1972 Dave's Picks 32. That would be grand.

Subscription for Dave's Picks 2020

So we started at 12,000 and now we are at 20,000 a year. How do you make it jump to 21,000 or 22,000 for 2020...... Release a well known show to start the subscription process ..It won't be anything with the Allman Brothers either, because the potential as a stand alone release is much higher. 6/14/76 Beacon Theatre is a good example to start 2020 with or a 2/15/73 Dane County... . Hofheinz Pavilion 11/19/72. Something along those lines to make us all crazy. The fourth show for 2019 when you already close to being sold out, while I hope it is a 1972 show ,is more likely to be a one off show that is awesome but not talked about.... Sorry over served... bob t

I say drop it to 7,500 units....

....things would get ugly 😅

Customer Service Is Beyond Terrible...

No shipping notice. I called Customer Service they said order WAS CANCELLED!!! I check with my bank the full amount was withdrawn from my account on 8/5. Customer service said I was never charged and I have to dispute it by emailing a screen shot of my account to them. SOOOO They charged me, I have to prove it to them. Still haven't got my order and now the Blu-Ray appears to be unavailable. I'm beyond upset. Every release is a nightmare with this organization...

Giants box

Giants blu-ray box sold out just before reaching mailboxes. Wow.

Floyd

That blows. Did you pay by paypal? This is the best way for future payments.

BluRay Sold Out

Wow is right.

Doesn't surprise me that much.. hundreds of thousands of people were at these shows.

Garbage? I think not.

PM MaryE or Email Dr. Rhino. I bet they can get it straightened out. Consider buying the DVD perhaps, that will sell out in short order too at this point, especially once people get their first listens and some decide it in fact kicks ass.

I know I just wrote highly of 1972, and meant it.. but there was something in the water in the some of the later years, especially 89 (and 91). I just got of an 80's bender of sorts and it was remarkably refreshing.

Come on in boys.. the water is fine.

Did you receive an email with an order confirmation #?

Just to be safe when I place orders I also save as pdf a copy of the order confirm page.

I just added a Blu-ray Box to my cart and it didn’t say sold out.

"D&C is a mere thin and fizzy champagne in comparison." Aptly stated!

No Doubt. I told myself I would never waste my time on them unless somebody offered me a free ticket. I'm going for the third time at the Garden in a couple of months. As my cousin said (and this is the same guy who showed up from Buffalo at my front door unannounced on July 7th 1989 with a JFK ticket for me), " there's no way we're going to get rained out of this one". If you recall I went with him to the Camden New Jersey show and got rained out two songs into the second set. I bitched about it here for a couple of posts and then moved on.

I agree, the 72 shows age like fine wine. I was just thinking that there won't be as many fine wine connoisseurs in demand of these shows in another five years. Doesn't mean the wines getting any worse, just means the demand for it getting less. I hope I'm right and that Pinkus and Lemieux are thinking along those lines, only because I'm selfish and I want them released as soon.

I've been enjoying the live stuff from January of 69 that was released with the anniversary edition of Aoxomoxoa. Clementine, Alligator, New Potato Caboose. There are many factors of course, but the difference in sounds from eta to era Thai in so largely to Jerry's guitar and rig. I absolutely love the Gibson SG. All the great players were using it in 69 & 70: Garcia, Townshend, Mick Taylor, Hendrix.....and later Angus Young. They're the guys I'm most familiar with, I'm sure they were other greats who used it. I was at a store called Woodstock, coincidentally on the anniversary back in August. They had a band playing on the front lawn, and the guitar player was using none other than the classic Gibson SG. I was ten feet from him and took several pictures, as I've never been that close to one that wasn't behind glass.

Ha

I knew that comment would come back and bite me.

Don't get me wrong, I love what D&C are doing and really enjoy seeing them. They are on to something.. but 72 has some of the better moments the band ever did. I meant this as more praise for 72 than a detraction for what's going on now.

Besides.. I like champagne, just not as much as a good vintage Bordeaux or Burgundy.

If that makes sense. I do have a strong respect for what the boys are doing now and am so appreciative and grateful they are still out there doing it. Wish ticket prices were a bit lower, I like to be in the pit.

GD72 and D&C

GD72 is the Sun
D&C is Pluto

part of the same system, each with its charms

GD72 is the POWERHOUSE
D&C is interesting

only 8 years old in 72, so I didn't attend shows that year
55 years old at 1st D&C show this past June. It was nice.

Box Set Arrived

Blu Ray Limited Edition # 590 of !0,000. Looks great, Playing the 87 concert right now.

Box on the porch

when I got home today, and it is very nice. What a nice little package, all box sets should be this size. Glad I did not not order. Can't wait to dive into this baby, 91 is one of my favorite years and with Bruce, that makes it a seven man band. gimme, gimme, gimme, slobber>drool. Got the entire weekend to relish this beauty, ahhhhh, I wonder what the poor people are doing this fine day. I think I will sit back and crack a cold one and roll up a big fatty and enjoy this flashback. To compare D&C to the Grateful Dead is just.....wrong. After I listen to this a few times, I will report my findings.

Most User-Friendly Box Yet!

I love these buy n forget, no stress Grateful Dead gems that are announced with a faint knock by U.P.S. Ground. If my music was on I may have missed the single knock or was it the sound of the 12x8x3.5 box hitting the ground and bottom of door. I was one of the "No Tracking Numbers" recieved this time too. After a brief review of the contents I must say, if all the disc play glitch-free "This box may be the most UserFriendly offered to us yet".
