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.

Good to finally hear from you--thanks for the stories!

Don't be a Stranger (even if you feel like a . . . ).

And yes, Giants box. Finally put on the 1987 show this morning, and just basked in the lovely sound. I felt like the skeleton in the Lazy Boy, with my hair getting blown back by the roses emanating from the speakers . . .

Oops, missed that anniversary

Due to 10-9-89 anniversary, and this awesome GS Box, I totally forgot about 10-9-76 yesterday.
Will make sure I do 10-9,10-76 observances this weekend.

Frost? Did someone say Frost?

TDIGDH - One of the best early 80s shows, perhaps of any era... It's a real Bobby-Fest too :)

https://archive.org/details/gd1982-10-10.141523.sbd.pcm.dalton.miller.c…

The whole show is amazing, but the Baby Blue E2 is incredible.

Slimy? Mudhole? My home this is!

Right you are Jimbo. When I was looking up dates to compile my list of shows, I saw that "The Dead" was the second to last band to play there.

Laguna Seca Memories

First time poster, but long time fan of these forums... so much good insight to the music. Appreciate all the dialog and feeling of community... happy to finally be participating.

Love the news clips of Laguna Seca '87... Thanks JiminMD for posting.

Laguna Seca was the first of my 70+ shows. I got so sunburned I had blisters on my ears! I remember being half asleep Saturday night when some folks came through camp saying the dead was back on stage. Wrapped in a sleeping bag and fog we wandered back to the venue where they were filming the Touch of Grey video. I guess that makes me a true "Touch Head". :-)

I am really enjoying the Giants Stadium box. Sound quality is amazing. So happy to have these shows and all the other releases. Despite all the issues some folks are having, we are really blessed to have access to all this incredible music.

Cheers to all and have a grateful day!

Venue (and other) Topics

Love the Spectrum discussion. Didn't "The Dead" play one of the last shows at that venue too? I think I was at that one.. or was it Furthur?? Still.. great conversation on an important, albeit an dumpy venue.

Deadvikes, thanks for the shoutout. To add, something I think Oroborous brought up about recordings not quite capturing the show as we remember. This is so true for a lot of the late era shows (and probably early era shows too). ..and the reverse is true to a lessor extent also. I believe if post 78 was recorded as well as 78 and before, history would think more highly of the later era shows.

Back to venues.. I really enjoy the discussions on the topics. My biggest regret (besides the places they played before my time)? Missing the Frost. Had several near misses that I did make, grateful for those.

Little 87 news clip from Laguna Seca (missed that one too) that is on point..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRRrB1by16I
China? Must have missed that, but I do recall a rumor of playing at the Great Wall?? Perhaps that is what they are referencing...

Holy Shnikies!

Throwing Stones 6/16/91. I can't get enough of the middle Jam on these live versions. Jerry is either extraordinary or just kind of his regular great on every version. This is extra extraordinary.

Oborious/Mind-Left-Body

you have that right - I won't spin a Kiss album much less go to a concert without Ace Frehley. It's almost laughable to hear how Gene Simmons treats Ace in the Press. Without him he would still be mr. Klein to a bunch of high schoolers in Brooklyn. I could go on but the bottom line is Gene Simmons wouldn't have anywhere near the fortune he has today if the kiss reunions didn't happen. He has Ace to thank for that though he'll never admit it.

The 1979 show I saw was pretty damn exciting because I was 7 years old. But it was the dynasty tour which was the beginning of the end and even then I sensed something was wrong with the band I have been listening to for the past 3 years. The album, the costumes. Oborious you are lucky indeed to have seen them in 1978. I remember seeing commercials for the Kiss Alive 2 tour which is what you saw them on but I couldn't get my parents to bring me. By the following year they had come around, where at least I should say my mother came around and took us. But in hindsight that tore paled in comparison to the one you saw them on. They didn't even play Shock Me. But I did get New York Groove and 2000 man instead. And it was the first year Gene flew up into the rafters.

Fast forward to 1996. My cousin died I always talk about who brought me to my to Grateful Dead shows but tickets for the Madison Square Garden Show on Saturday night. Kiss was so hot for that reunions tour they played five sold-out shows at the Garden. It was easily the most raucous concert I've ever been to. We had great first level seats directly across from middle stage and the atmosphere was just Electric. Every section had a group of 10 or 15 people playing air guitar and singing in the doorway from The Concourse to the seating area. So every time you got up to take a piss or get a beer you became part of the air band that was jamming to whatever song they were playing at the moment. I was in my mid-20s so this was my Prime. And the setlist they played was better than anything they've done in the 70s because it was longer and it included only the best. I remember after the initial shock of just seeing these guys on stage and hearing the music was something I'll never forget. And then they played Doctor love around the third song I think and this is an Ace Frehley showpiece. Female that guitar solo and it was so loud it was like a second shock wave came across the crowd. It was like okay they're not just here Ace is here and in top form.

The box arrived in perfect condition. The book is HUGE!!! The book alone must have cost a few clams. If it had feet it would be a coffee table book. The box itself is bigger then I thought. Great work rhino and dead.net. 1987 disks sound incredible and 91' sounds almost hard to believe it was almost 30 years ago. 91' has to be set lower on the volume knob it's so beautiful. It's so good you want to cry.

Oh, Fuck Yeah!

Box #5606 has arrived safe and sound in Northern Utah...everything seems to be in order. Book looks awesome!!...can't wait to dive in!

Giants Box Set

Nope. Was fired up on Friday morning when I got the email for download. Emailed customer service on Friday. We are going on Tuesday with no response. This is crap.

MBarilla (and others who want the Blu-ray box)

I found some stashed out back behind the rusted remains of Kesey's thunder machine. We heard about a gang from Moldova (the Marx Brothers 'Hood) posing as Amish encyclopedia salesmen working the area. A sharp-eyed IHOP waitress across the street we have on our payroll reported something suspicious going down, and the local gendarmes arrived before the thugs absconded with the goods.

Bottom line: they're back in stock. Order now!!

Bolo gives good advice

The BluRay is the way to go.
Don’t waste your time with DVD.

Curious

Has anyone ever received the last number of the release??? Did anyone get 10,000/10,000 of a release... or 20,000/20,000 of a Dave's Picks?? Bob t

Damaged goods :(

Welp, mine arrived damaged. No damage to the shipping box itself but there is a slice down the top of the spiral book as well as a torn CD booklet for one of the shows, a pin sized indentation on the actual box, annnd another deep scratch on the box. How it happened is beyond me...I reached out to customer service Friday via email and have yet to hear back from them. Inspect your boxes folks!

Looking Good

Box arrived today and looks pretty cool, won't have a chance to start listening until tomorrow afternoon, but I am stoked. I did have a chance to flip through the book, the pictures really took me right back.

On another note, I would suggest we immediately start crowdfunding some funds to get the IHOP waitress on our payroll as well.

I should have bought it

You guys sound like you're having so much fun. Oh well another day. My June 17th 1991 show will be here before I know right.

What I really came here to babble about : Playing in the Band, Winterland 10/9/72. I love the Veneta Playing in as much as the next Dead Head. And 11/18/72. But ever since the release of that Dave's Picks Berkeley show (which also had a rip-roaring Playing in the Band), I've been really getting into this song 2nd half 72. I'm hearing a lot of them that are up there with Veneta. I'm also thinking they,re better than the E72 performances.

Once again....

....the boxes box didn't disappoint. #1867. Went straight to 1991.
The book is very cool.

#4777

Safe and sound in Saint Paul, Minnesota . . . (technically the town of Roseville . . . )

Went straight to 6/17/91. Good gawd, the SOUND!!!!

Sweet. Just sweet.

Deadhead Brewer got triple 7's....

....Vegas is calling your name.
1991 48 track Drumz. This is why I'm here. I'm drooling.

Loose Lucy is my delight....

.... could definitely do worse. This Blu-ray is hot as fuck. Thank YOU for a real good time. The stage looks soooo small when the camera zooms in. Ha! Cheers.
edit. Got excited there. ,😃

Might as Well....

....can't help but smile. I have a new appreciation for Mondays.
Mrs. Vguy even came out an twirled for a minute. She likes that song and it pulled her out of the bedroom. Lol.

Download problem

The downloads were supposed to arrive on Friday. Instead of receiving the link to the 192/24 download of the entire box that I ordered, I was sent a link for 44/16 files of 7/9/89 only. I notified customer service on Friday, but have not heard back. Urgh.

Heard from customer service on Tuesday. I'm supposed to get a link to the right files within three business days.

Deep Dives

I'm a big fan of the Box Sets.

Take a look at the two best, FW69 and E72 (three best, I guess you can add Boxzilla). In all cases they offered skinny boxes.. which are really, really good and a good representation of the tours. But the fun is in the deep dive. After all, the GD never played the same show twice and after a few listens we tend to move on for variety. Boxes keep my attention for months/years.

Anyway.. my two cents. Haven't had the chance to rip let alone listen to this one yet.. Honestly, I am still enjoying last years box. Some of the China Riders in particular keep gaining nuance and admiration and I have not met a full Weather Report Suite I did not like.

Bolo has never steered us wrong yet, right? or has he???

Diving In

... also dove in last evening for a bit upon receipt of this bad boy box.
As already mentioned, '91 is AMAZING.
I popped the Bluray in and turned it up to '11'.....that Eyes opener...Man oh man. And I've heard it a thousand times; but this is definitely definitely the definitive listen. Definitely Wapner.

It just looks and sounds SO DAMN GOOD.

And on the ride in today I tossed in the 7/9/89 show with that killer Shakedown opener. They mean business! And the follow up Jack Straw moves. Jerry is ripping it up. Looking forward to the forthcoming audio digestion along with everyone else.

Sixtus

Don't despair....yet

The status of my order on the site is still processing and says it hasn't shipped. No emails. UPS My Choice is completely blank. An yet #7507 arrived safe and sound yesterday in Denver. Turned my frown upside down.

Charlie3 and IHOP servers

You don't have to pay them, if you know how to butter them up.

You guys have any plans to get me my digital download?

I pre-ordered on 8/2 (Digital 24 bit). Was sent on one show in wrong format on 9/20. Contact help on 9/21...No response. Spoke to customer service today..They have "Escalated" my case.

This is unacceptable. Get your shit together.

Shipped!

Should be on the front step when I get home. Now just need to dodge the porch pirates and the boxcutter blues.

Adding to itunes sucks balls

Ok why would you guys format it so you cant put in in your itunes as one album for each show? Its all wrong,set one disk 1 and set 2 disk 3 but disk 2 is all by it self? really bad,and frustrating as hell.I buy all the box sets anmd this one has the worst editing ever !!! I spent alot on this and I expect it to be done right . Get it together guys

Arrived

I'll have mine this evening. So excited about this one.

Between my time of seeing the Dead live, from '84 through the end in '95, I've often said here that the period between '87 and '91 was magic. The band was on a late career peak, thanks to their newfound successes and the rapid evolution of technology that gave them a new lease to explore not only new music, but also the old classics. '89 saw them back to stretching out and flexing their improvisational muscle.

Over the years as more of these releases come out, and from virtually every corner of their career, I only find myself wanting to here more..more....MORE. I think I'll absorb this set chronologically, though the video will be hard not to put right in right away.

My pre-review is.....counting the hours this afternoon until this is physically in my hands and that '87 show ready to bounce air molecules into my eardrums at a healthy volume. Gosh, haven't dosed since the '90s. Kind of want to for the vid.

Just saw the news on the Rolling Stone website about Robert Hunter. Another good man gone. RIP

Re: Adding to ITunes

Fuck! RIP Hunter!! So sad to see this. Rest in peace and thanks for all you left us with. It would not have happened with you.

"In a bed, in a bed, by the waterside I will lay my head.
Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul."

______________________________________

As for adding to ITunes, I have to agree on that one.. but I don't think Rhino this one is Rhino's fault.

I am not sure how it works.. but if you are absolutely first to get a Box or CD or whatever.. and go to put it into iTunes, the metadata is essentially blank. In that case, you have to manually type all this stuff in. ..and the next person seems to get what those who came before them entered.

I could be wrong, but I don't think Rhino adds metadata to wherever the data repository is all the Metadata that tags songs and CDs when you Rip it.

Yes, Giant pain in the ass (sorry for the pun).

Thank You Dave & Company

I received Giants stadium yesterday.

Not long after 7-12-87, I picked up an audience tape of this show that was probably the poorest sounding tape I owned. Not only did it sound like it was coming from an old hand held transistor radio from the 60s but throughout the tape I could hear two guys bitching about the traffic problem getting there and how they planned on leaving. Even with these major tape issues, the music sounded great and it was played often in my car. That cassette is now lost to history.

As I said earlier, when the box arrived yesterday I immediately put on 7-12. WOW!!! The sound, the performance is so wonderful. This show alone was worth the price of admission. They really were brilliant that summer of '87 and this recording is proof positive. I wasn't at this show but I saw them earlier that week in Pittsburgh. The Neville Bros. sat in at the beginning of the second set and with The Banana Boat song>Iko> Women Are Smarter just about blew the top off of the igloo they were playing in. One of those musical moments one never forgets. I'm hoping that one day this show will be released for all to enjoy.

Anyway, thanks Dave, Jeffery and everybody else that puts these labor of loves together every year for us fans. I am very appreciative for what you all must go through to put these beautiful boxes together.

R.I.P. Robert Hunter

Well I guess that's three. Didn't think it would be hitting so close to home though. After Ocasek, I was having a water cooler talk with a guy at work, and we were lamenting how our rock heroes of the 60s and 70s are at ages when we might be seeing this with more and more frequency.

If anyone has a favorite lyric from Robert, I would love to know what resonated with everyone. I always liked this one from Uncle John's Band, particularly when Phil can be heard singing harmony (Ladies and Gentlemen is a good example):

"Like the morning sun you come,
and like the wind you go."

Jimbo that's another great one. Brokedown Palace is probably my favorite downtempo song.

Hunter RIP

Black muddy river
Roll on forever

Passed through on the autumn equinox

R.I.P. Hunter

May the four winds blow you safely home!
Our condolences to his peeps, and all the Dead extended family etc.
Truly a huge loss....Arguably one of THE greatest word smiths of all time!

Holy F*CK! NOOOOOOOOOO

I am just seeing this terrible news now boys, from your posts. And corroborated elsewhere just to be sure it's all real.

So very sad about Robert Hunter. Holy cow. Wow.
Sad.

At least he and Jer are together again, collaborating once more, on the sweetest tune ever. For ever.

RIP.

Sixtus

RIP Hunter

A Lovely View of heaven but I'd rather be with you.

Today I lost a very good friend that I never had the chance to meet.

There are things you can replace

and others you cannot.

Keithman and a Favorite lyric?

I think that one is impossible. Like every line is a usable line for something in life. How many different times in your life have you thrown out a Hunter line as the answer to a question or a situation? I believe you could write a short story with just lines from the Hunter catalog.

Lines I use quite often ….

The bottle was dusty, but the liquor was clean.

Though I could caution all, I still might warn a few.

Sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own (ok maybe my fave)

First one says she's got my child, but it don't look like me

Steal your face right off your head

You know better but I know him

you decide if was wise

It's a buck dancers choice my friend

Lotta poor man got to walk the line, just to pay his union dues.

Thanks for the lines Bob.

AAAHHHHH!!!!!

This is TOTALLY true:

I thought about RH and about his potential passing yesterday. It just came to me, completely out of the blue.

Now today I hear he has departed.

and what is playing on my computer?

"I will fly away" Hank Williams

I will fly oh glory
I will fly away in the mornin'
when I die hallelujah by and by
I will fly away

WOW.

Blessings beyond count to you, RH.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

RIP

:_(((

Listen to the River sing sweet songs to rock my Soul...

I owe a debt of gratitude I can only pay forward to the author of the lyrics that daily decorate the vast open expanses of my mind.

Thank you, sir.

"May the four winds blow you safely home!"

Dang.

Without Robert, there would have been no Grateful Dead. As lovely as those melodies are, and as intoxicating as those rhythms can be, those tunes would not be endlessly endearing without the lyrics of the master poet. We can listen to a Garcia song a million times because of the infinity of Hunter's words.

A few years back, I began a poem to send to Robert on his birthday, in order to let him hear how Grateful I am for his contributions to my favorite music. I never worked up the nerve to send it on ANY of his subsequent birthdays. Dang.

Anyone who sings a tune so sweet is passing by . . .

Robert Hunter, you are amazing.

Re: Buck Dancer

Seeing this today finally made me find out what the hell Buck Dancing is.

https://www.ncpedia.org/buck-dancing

You learn something new every day.. so very cool. It's amazing what you learn from the GD.. visited my folks this weekend and watched an hour of the Country Music documentary from Ken Burns with my dad. I knew almost every song from what I learned listening to the Grateful Dead (and Jerry Garcia). It got then point where I was thinking to myself, is there a song from this set the GD have not covered? It must have been the mid 50's to mid 60's part.

We're never too old to learn.

Again, RIP RH. May the four winds blow you safely home indeed.

Oh, no....

😳

Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world....

The heart has it's beaches, it's homeland and thoughts of it's own
Wake now, discover that you are the song that the morning brings
But the heart has it's seasons, it's evenings and songs of it's own...........
.......that's all I can say at this time.

To Lay Me Down

Once more
To Lay Me Down

RIP Hunter

There's nothing you can hold for very long.

Fare the Well

Robert Hunter. We love you more than words can tell.

Jerry. Bob. Pig. Phil. Billy. Mickey. TC. Keith. Donna. Brent. Vince. Hornsby. Those were the players (& Dana Morgan).

But Hunter & Barlow are/were just as integral to the band. And now they are both gone.

My late father was born on September 24th....

Inspiration. Move me brightly. Light the song with sense and color. Hold away despair.
My entire day is now on hold. So many poignant lyrics. It's like he knew all of us in one way or another. Godspeed Bob Hunter. Say hi to Jerry, Pig, Brent, Keith, John Perry and Vince for us 😭.

Hunter

Don't mourn the inevitable, celebrate the life and the gifts bestowed through the lyrics.

Currently on disc 2 of 7/12/87 from this box and it is excellent on every level, an excellent show, a phenomenal recording. It sounds as good or better than that of the Spring 1990 TOO box, which is saying a lot. Cool when there is an official release of a show that you attended.

Lots of tears today, but trying to dry my eyes on the wind . . .
