    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.

    Church Key

    I always found that hysterical, the "church key." The can/bottle opener metal thingy... 99 cents on the counter at finer liquor stores near you.

    I carry a church key AND a corkscrew onto every flight. The cheap, plastic corkscrew that has a sheath/handle, not the big ass thing your wife uses at Thanksgiving. Trust me, the TSA allows both. And also ball point pens. Which is ridiculous. Being a bit of a strong person I feel like I could easily subdue some terrorist punk with any of the aforementioned implements. Yet not allowed to carry on a leatherman multi tool, swiss army knife, or any of the like.

    One has to be creative, post 9/11, to really enjoy flying. Of course first class is the best option - they'll pour you as many as you want as long as you can hold it together. And at the cost of a first class ticket these days, you've got to make up for it in great quantities of top shelf, free booze. It's a no-brainer.

    Booze on Plane

    I've shared a bottle of wine on a plane, opened myself with a corkscrew. Again, before 9/11. I am pretty sure if you tried to get through TSA with a corkscrew today they will cavity search, then arrest, then cavity search again just for good measure.

    I did enjoy Easy Rider.. it was a classic. I agree, they could have written a better ending. Then I saw Dirty Mary Crazy Larry...

    Don't we have another release coming soon? 31 has lost it's new car smell..

    BYOB on the plane

    Before 9/11, when you could bring liquids through security, I carried beer all the time. A case of beer counted as your single carry-on. I was bringing microbrew back.
    My friend would carry a 6-pack in a cooler and have the flight attendants open each can as needed. It was totally allowed as long as you didn’t open them yourself.

    Watched the Woodstock Movie last night.
    Saw the friend who was in line at the phones. Just as described by Hbob.

    Apocalypse Burns

    I'm fine with controversial, and contrarian, opinions. People with too thin skin bother me more. I grew up during Vietnam, born in 1968, but obviously didn't have the perspective of someone a bit older, who either went over or knew people who did at that time. I do know a few old guys who went over and got fucked up, at least one who came back with a habit. But he's adjusted and seems fine and productive now. Some of these guys will tell stories and some won't.

    I was fascinated by the Ken Burns' Vietnam documentary on PBS. I also in many ways feel like my all-time favorite film, Apocalypse Now, is as true a piece of fiction as has ever been. Francis Ford Coppola recently trotted out yet another edit that he feels is the finest cut yet.

    Sunday morning. Flew back late last night from the midwest and got drunk on the plane. I like drinking on flights. One can take several shooters of booze in their carry-on luggage, order a drink or two from the stewardess and then just pound them like mad. If one is so inclined. You can carry it on, but you're not supposed to pour your own, so be in stealth mode.

    Woke up, cooked a pizza, had ginseng and coffee, and blasted Blues For Allah. Today is a great day.

    Yeah, my uncle was one the US Airmen that those antiaircraft guns were trying to kill, so excuse me if I view Hanoi Jane as a traitor for posing on them with a smile for a photo op for the Vietcong. If you want to view her as some naïve dumbass that got taken advantage of by the Vietcong knock yourself out. Tokyo Rose got prison for her propaganda efforts on behalf of the Japanese in WWII, Jane got a pass for her propaganda efforts on behalf of the Vietcong.

    Are the rest of the Dylan-Dead shows also multi track?

    I know that Oakland and Anaheim were released as View From the Vault 4 which are two track recordings but now I'm wondering if there are multi tracks from the tour in the vault. I know that they recorded the sets with Dylan that way for the live album but are all the Dead sets there as well?

CD’s have unique serial numbers that identify them.
If someone types in the song names and uploads the info, it becomes available to everyone.
For that reason, when I import CD’s to my hard drive I do it on a computer that isn’t connected to the internet. I then type in the info in the format I want it in.

Hi all,

Is anyone looking to sell or trade their box set? I would love this set and unfortunately was unable to order it at the time it came out. It was up on the website, which got me excited, as I was hoping to purchase it for my birthday. Alas, it is on there but is totally sold out. Let me know. Thanks!

Hi!

If anyone is interested in purchasing this box set please let me know. I have one I am looking to sell - never played. Going to post it on eBay but figured I would try here first.
