    During the mid-1970s, the Grateful Dead saga was unfolding like a Greek classic. The Sisyphean Wall Of Sound had nearly broken the band. From it spawned a Medusa head of countless side projects, all deliciously fruitful but woefully not the same as the whole. The chorus lay in wait, pondering the reemergence of their heroes, and wondering if "THE LAST ONE" had really been it...

    But in early 1976, Apollonian light and healing would shine upon our intrepid wanderers once again. No more epic battles for the people with cops and lines and tightness, the Dead would return triumphant in smallness, playing intimate theaters and renting equipment along the way. No more ticket scams and greedy promoters, they'd give back with first ever mail-order ticket program, one that had a few kinks to work out but eventually served the fans well.

    Musically, June 1976 signaled a Golden Age of harmony and prosperity for the Dead. It marked an Odysseusian-like return for Mickey Hart. Donna Jean was in lock-step with the sirens' call. Jerry and Bob delivered orphic delight with solo musings like "Mission In The Rain" (the only tour they ever played it on), "The Wheel," and "Cassidy," emboldened by group effort. There was fresh repertoire from Blues For Allah, breathing new life to the Dead's continually morphing sound - as Weir once said of the '76 tour, they wanted to play "a little bit of all of it." Old favorites were re-envisioned with cascading tempos and unique sequencing, making the crowd question if they'd ever heard these songs before. And there was comfort and joy in the familiarity of watching the band make it up as they went along. By all means, it was clear that the bacchanalia of live Dead would reign on.

    And now the revelry from this epoch, evidenced by the near-studio quality sound captured on two-track live recordings by Betty Cantor-Jackson, lives on, bolstered by Jeffrey Norman's HDCD mastering. It's housed for posterity in a handsome box featuring original art work by Justin Helton. It’s documented in liners by Jesse Jarnow and photos by Grant Gouldon. And it’s ready for a spot on your shelf. 

    As part of our pre-order for this Dead.net exclusive boxed set, we'll be delivering downloads of each listening party - one for each show included in JUNE 1976 - to purchasers from now until the March 20th release. Order at any time before release and you'll receive all the listening parties to date.

    Carlo, back at you.

    Wristshot. Thanks for the post. That is really cool, you were there. Would love to hear more about the show. Mail order, those were the days. I used the mail order in the eighties. Loved it. Prices were never crazy.
    I checked on prices last night for Dead and Co for Wrigley and stop looking when the prices got to $300. Not sure if the Dead are getting this money or if it is already resale. Anyway, too much for me to think about, no Phil and no Jerry. I will leave out my comments on John Mayer.
    One thing we can say, Bob Weir has spent his life touring in all sorts of bands since Jerry died. It would be cool to see him one more time.
    Of course if I win the lottery, I going for those VIP packages. And you are all invited.

    If you don't have the Download Series#4, check it out. It is from the Capitol Theatre in June. I believe it was the middle night. The show is awesome and the sound quality, without Plangent, from 15 years ago is A+. Can't wait for this box.

    Peace folks!

    This box has 5 glorious trips around the sun

    There is outstanding material here

    I think this stuff doesnt resonate with some because Phil is relatively low on the recordings. Kinda like 82.

    You could do a lot worse things with 150 dollars than buy this

    Glad to see lots of people excited about this release

    I know the feeling! I'm not going for this one, but so many other of the box set gems have done it for me, especially when I found the out of print ones at a good price in the online markets.

    Have been feeling fat and sassy with my collection that I've built up methodically over the past 5 years after taking time off from the new releases for quite awhile there before that.

    Decided recently that unless a particular offering really intrigues me, I'm limiting myself to '68-'71 box sets (have enough out of '72 already), plus hanging with the Dave's Picks subscriptions. That means that if the 50 year anniversary boxes come out over the next few years, I'll be jumping on them. Kinda disappointed that the 1969 Ark box didn't happen last year, but it's never too late!

    Hi, first-time poster here. But just want to report that I was at one of the Boston shows. Honestly don't remember which one any more -- how long ago was that? But we actually got tickets through the Dead's nascent mail-in system -- one pair was fourth-row center. Wow.

    The Dead finally made it to Japan...sort of.

    Grateful Dead tribute supergroup Voodoo Dead played the second show of a three-night run through Japan on Tuesday, February 12 at the Bay Hall in Yokohama. The band — consisting of guitarist Steve Kimock, keyboardist Jeff Chimenti, drummer John Kimock and legendary New Orleans funk bassist George Porter Jr. — welcomed Japanese trumpet player Issei Igarashi for large portions of the first and second sets.

    Hearing Kimock playing some Dead again really makes me wish that he, Phil, and Jill were on better terms and Kimock had been selected for the Fare Thee Well shows. He is just a near perfect fit into the puzzle. Band really missed an opportunity on when they chose Trey over Steve, and something tells me that was all Phil putting his foot down.

    But...this Voodoo Dead thing has got some wings for sure.

    Also gotta hand it to the Japanese taper, they got a nice sound throughout the show. Here's the archive link...

I recently started listening for the first time to shows I attended. I've waited this long for fear that many of them would not be as good in retrospect (especially the '92-'93). But, after listening to 6/24+25+28/91, and after hearing 6/16-17/91 from the Giants box, I'm now thinking that a box of 6/22, 6/24, 6/25, and 6/28/91 would be sweet!

For fans of synchronicity, I started the 6/25/91 show as I jumped on the treadmill the other day, and just as I went to turn up the belt speed from a warm-up walk to a 10-minute mile pace, the Dead sang, "My old buddy, you're moving . . . much too slooow-ow-ow-woh, ow ow woh, owowow . . .

Road Trips Vol. 3 No. 2--Austin 11-15-71
New release available March 27 2020 from ‘Real gone music’
💀Keith Godchaux's only been with the band a month but already he is fitting in like a glove. This fall 1971 show captures the Dead dancing down their improvisational high wire like only they can. On one side of the precipice are the free form jams of their earlier incarnations. On the other are the country-inflected tunes of American Beauty and Workingman's Dead, both released the preceding year. And no sequence captures the tension between the two quite like the first set's 'Dark Star'/'El Paso' sequence, during which the band improbably (and seamlessly) veers from their spaciest song to their most cowboy cover and back again. A true marvel of a medley. Then, speaking of cowboy, the second set goes full-on boots 'n' spurs (the show is in Austin, after all) for its first half-dozen songs, winding up with a barn burning 'Cumberland Blues.' And then another sublime medley of 'Not Fade Away' segueing into a 'Jam' that toys with the 'China Cat Sunflower' theme, followed by a rip-roarin' 'Goin' Down the Road Feeling Bad' and back to 'Not Fade Away.' Blair Jackson's liner notes chart the course. HDCD sound mastered by Jeffrey Norman

WOW! What an eyeopener – brings all the shipping madness into sharp focus. The perfect just-so story explaining what most all of us have been on the receiving end of for more than a year. While we can hope and pray Direct Shot eventually gets its distribution-shit together, maybe in the meantime it's time for MaryE to jump on her bicycle and JimInMD to saddle up Mr. Peabody's time machine and start delivering CDs again! Onward.

Thanks for that article. I wasn't aware how widespread the issue was. At this point the only physical media I'm buying is the Dead, local artists in my neck of the woods, and the occasional box set from other select artists. I've gone completely digital otherwise, so I had no idea that this was an industry wide problem.

I guess I've been directing my angst over my missing Dave's 32 at the wrong party. That said, what's the over under on receiving my missing Dave's 32 before the June 76 box? Before Dave's 34? It's supposed to ship out at the end of the month from someone at the Dead offices, so we'll find out soon enough.

Missed 2-11-69 last week so playing it now.

Upcoming anniversaries (commercial releases):
2-23,24-68 DP22
2-22-69 30Trips
FW69 Box
2-26,28-73 DP28
2-24-74 DaP13
2-26-77 DaP29

We’re all going to be busy for the rest of the month.
Not a bad predicament to be in.

Two or three months ago , you mentioned the Freddie King Box Set, "Taking Care of Business", and I've been looking for it since then. I found a new sealed copy on e bay today for $450.00. I snapped it right up. I then went over to Bear Family Records and bought the follow up box set Texas Flyer, before it becomes scarce. They both look really cool and I can't wait to listen to them. Anyways, thanks for mentioning them because I never would have known about them. Garcia said one of his early influences was Freddie King. If you like T Bone Walker, there is a great box set on Mosaic Records, "The Complete Recordings of T Bone Walker 1940-1954". It"s 6 cds and it's still available on the secondary market at a fairly reasonable price. T Bone Walker was great and he influenced the likes of B B King, Jimi Hendrix,Eric Clapton, and many other great guitar players. Anyways, it really swings.

VGuy, as someone who has lived in only Minnesota and Colorado, I have to confess that it pains me to hear people in places such as Las Vegas and Tampa Bay talking about our state sport! :) I always root for the "ice-state" teams to beat the interlopers from places that have never seen natural ice. :)

p.s. Is the Jack Straw opener from 6/25/91 a BOAT version? Maybe . . .

Did someone say best ever Jack Straw?

...now back to you regularly scheduled hockey fight.. Sponsored by Dentists with kids about to go to college.

Congratulations on picking up a copy of "Takin' Care of Business" by Freddie King on Bear Records. I still haven't got this one, although I have most of the material on other cds. But there is nothing like a release on Bear Records - the presentation, books and last but not least - the sound of them. The follow up, "Texas Flyer" the one I do have is superb.

Another good Freddie King release is "King of the Blues", which includes the three albums he made on Shelter records, plus outttakes between the two two Bear Records sets.

There is also a great dvd out called "The!!! Beat 1966" featuring several performances from the TV show of the same name. The stage has great op art 60s décor, there are go go dancers, and a straight white middle aged host who literally runs out onto the stage after Freddie has completed a track, saying things like " Wow man, that was really outtasight! What are you going to hit us with now baby?" Priceless. The music played, though, is timeless. There also a few great tracks of slightly stoned looking Freddie live in Sweden in 1973.

I have a 4 cd T Bone Walker compilation on the Proper Records label, which focuses on his earlier years. I agree - he was a major, and often uncredited, influence on rock n' roll music, as well as the blues rock that followed. Listening to him, you can tell where Chuck Berry and B.B. King got many of their ideas and licks from. And from Chuck Berry and B.B King...to the moon!

I can't take this talk about these box set of Freddie King & T-Bone! My wife's out of town, not out of my life. :-) On the Freddie front I have Best of Shelter Years & TX Cannonball. T-Bone includes Imperial Collection 50-54. Anyone out there with any of these other boxes, hell I'd take a copy. Consider it your off site backup :-)

That 91 (6/25), is a ripper. BOAT is pure opinion, but I'll give you "damn rousing"!

I'm a fixator, I play given songs to death (ask my wife)! I've been playing Little Sadie, from Crooked Still's 11-26-2006 show about dozen times a day! WOW!

I looked through the list and once again no Andy Williams re-releases!

Everyone here only seems to listen to "cool(?)" music. Doesn't anyone listen to schlep vocalist from the 50's & 60's? A little Perry Como (I hear he does a nice haircut), the aforementioned Andy. Maybe a little Johnny Mathis? Any Wayne Newton fans? I have him doing the greatest hits of like 67. My Grandmother used to travel to Vegas every year (drove from Jersey), she RAVED about Wayne's shows and Liberace's. How bout Dinah Shore? When I was coming up these were popular people with my parents generation and NOBODY I went to school with was buying Andy Williams albums! I remember a guy in high school raving about Tull's Aqualung and how I had to hear it. One look at the cover and I knew I didn't need to listen to that book. So what guilty pleasures are in your musical past? Any big musical fans? We went to a family reunion a year or two back. My wife has Missouri family, they always show up with a guitar and ready to have sing alongs. Started in Kansas City from Oklahoma and the only lone voice who knew all the lyrics,,,, me. It startled the crowd to say the least. Me and the wife was on a road trip once and I got into a musical mode and sang every musical ever done for about an hour (and yes, she has stayed with me for over 40 years) I then told her about this 7th grade music teacher we had in school. Remember when you had music class once a week. Music teacher would wheel a piano in, pass out lyrics on sheets or music books (where songs were descripted as "American folk", "folk", "negro spiritual". Well this guy had every musical of the day and we sang them all. I then told Denise, "I guess he was gay?" Her come back, "says the man who's been singing show tunes for the past hour!" I don't why I've stayed with her for remarks like that.

Blather off.

25 years ago was at my final Grateful Dead concert. I better give 30 trips copy a listen today.
My seat in the Delta Center was the very last row. “The first one now will later be last”, It was 9181 days since my first GD concert. Or 25 years , 1 month and 19 days later.
On a side note a tornado blew part of the Delta Center roof off August 18, 1999.
Also Salt Lake City is where Neal Cassady was born. “Born to be, Cassidy”/ Cassady.

How many remember his one-off special to appeal to the younger crowd? Was it ‘ The H Andrew Williams Kaleidoscope Company’? I remember Simon and Garfunkel being on it.

and one Wayne Newton 45-Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast-I was quite fond of it
and one Fifth Dimension LP-Up, Up, And Away

The rest was all Beatles, Steppenwolf, Iron Butterfly, Three Dog Night, Etc. At Least Until Grand Funk Railroad & Black Sabbath came into the picture. "And now there's all this" to quote John Lennon.

Yes, great clip of Freddie King. That's actually from that dvd I was talking about "The!!! Beat" from 1966.

I was trying to think of uncool music that I liked, and was beginning to think there wasn't any. Then I saw that reference to Grand Funk Railroad, and realised I was wrong. I like them. That's now, too, not when I was younger. I only came across their first 5-6 albums last year. Stonking good bass player.

They have a listening party up on the site..

https://store.dead.net/special-edition-shops/june-1976/june-1976-15cd-b…

Note sure if I would call it party.. if the audio came with video too showing Lemieux drinking directly from the tap of a keg while log rolling and chasing a surly bigfoot with giant claws and nasty pointy teeth.. I'd call it a listening party.

..or were you talking about a single show stand-alone CD? They don't always do that, that's more hit or miss.

Had to download on computer as it won't download to phone, even though I have winzip on my phone. But even on my computer, the Listening Party play button is grayed out and non-functional. Maybe you really only get the tracks when you pre-order. Don't know how they will entice 12,000 orders with just a ballad version of Friend of the Devil...

Edited to add: the sound quality is just about perfect!

Great link Cone Kid.

"Bong Rattling Bass"

Followed up by Mountain, Mississippi Queen. Leslie West, another great, rotund guitarist.

It was all good until the end.. when I suddenly realized, much like my superego Homer Simpson, that we might not be hip anymore.. at least to the generation behind us.

Well, I can't speak for you Jim, you may be the epitome of hip in the eyes of the next generation, but my 14 year old daughter has repeatedly assured me that I am not hip and she makes a pretty persuasive case sometimes. I'm still not conceding the point.
