    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.

    This set is going to sound phenomenal!

    I don't usually check out the Listening Party songs, but the sound on this West L.A. Fadeaway is righteous! Jerry's guitar is SCREAMING! (in a good way :)

    The really cool theater I went to for MUATM had decent sound, but very little bass. I'm looking forward to running the video through some serious sound equipment, and then hearing all the Phil I missed at the theater . . .

    Grateful to Dave, Rhino, and anyone who helps get this music out of the vault and into our souls.

    magic words?

    no Jane did not say that, Peter's wife did. What's so hilarious about Jane saying raise a glass to freedom, even if she did not say it? Jane Fonda was not a traitor, but a patriot who wanted to stop the war in Vietnam. Yes, a very nieve patriot, but still a patriot. If you believe that Jane is a traitor, then what is the ass hole in charge right now? It was Nixon and his republican assholes who made up the entire story about the notes given to her by the captives and her handing them over to the enemy, this is not true. Nixon and his war mongering cronies hated Jane, hated hippies and hated the fact that they were losing the war and this was a perfect opportunity for them to discredit the hippy movement and Jane all at once. 3,000,000 (that's million) vietnamese killed by the bombing and Nixon and his war mongers still could not "win".
    They made up this entire notion that Jane did this. Nixon wanted to nuke the entire area. I suggest that you read Janes autobiography and perhaps get it from the horses mouth, instead of coping and pasting the same old crap that you have heard all your lives from the far right. Lies are not magic words, they are lies. Yes, she did sit on the anti air craft gun, but she was tricked into that by the VC, and regrets it to this day. Besides, this story is about Peter, not Jane. What does Jane Fonda have to do with Peter, except that she was his older sister? To answer the question, I went to high school with a few guys who went to nam, really, not a lie. I doubt most of you were old enough to know anyone who went to nam, really. It's like the "I went to woodstock" story that a lot of people tell, not true, but makes them look good. Should have expected such a statement from the far right on this site, they love to tell lies. You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you ain't fooling me. Don't go devil, just cause there are ignorant deplorables who occasionally visit this site, it's mostly good stuff here.

    So sad to see this site polluted by such deplorable human beings. I get it that sometimes bad people, Steve Bannon, for example, like good music, but this is hard to take. I left here for an extended period for this very reason. I guess it's time to move on for good.

    Human nature doesn't change from generation to generation, humans are humans with the same grace and frailty that has existed since humans became human and which will continue as long as there are humans. Good and evil, freedom and oppression, saints and sinners, hate and love will continue to exist as opposing forces because it is the nature of humanity and of the universe. Choose wisely which path you take. All I really want to know is are you kind?

    Your fault. I don't much care or say things or boycott or whatever. She's the one that decency prevents me from saying my peace other than traitor

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.
