    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.

    Abbey Road

    I see that there is a series of 50th Anniversary releases of Abbey Road coming out, remixed using the original tapes, sounds kind of like what they did with the remix of Sgt. Peppers for the 50th Anniversary editions. Actually just spun Abbey Road pretty recently. Also been listening to some Flaming Lips that just came out or that I had passed on - The Kings Mouth, The Terror and Oczy Mlody. Dig their sound sometimes, especially Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, a great album from start to finish. Found them when I saw the Polyphonic Spree doing Do You Realize? on a late night TV show at some point and I was like what was that? Saw that Do You Realize? was a Flaming Lips tune and discovered a cool, psychedelic sounding band. I recall a reference to Miles and his buddy listening to some Flaming Lips on their drive to wine country in the book Sideways, a book that made me laugh out loud. But I digress...

    ....how do they clean up that video from grainy to 4K? Amazing.
    I spun Abbey Road a couple of days ago on it's anniversary. She's So Heavy.
    Love Pet Sounds. I recall playing it in the car as I drove the family through Jarbidge Nevada en route to Idaho. Played it twice I believe. Too good to listen to only once.
    Dammit. Now I need to listen to the Beach Boys. My wife actually likes the segue. All good.

    A classic. I just got into about 15 years ago.. I think when one of the reissues came out. Before that it escaped me. I guess some of their previous albums didn't do much for me so I never opened my ears until 'somewhat' recently.

    Abby Road came to me later too, I have no reason why.

    Edit: I saw that Boxer earlier myself. Interesting.. I hear Bob is going to sit in with Steel Pulse at Lockin'. Go get it Bob!

    Right on BobT, that album is a gem from start to finish and is proof positive that Brian Wilson is a genius. Songs Pet Sounds and Caroline, no are pure magic, and Hang On To Your Ego on the reissue is another gem. Beach Boys have some great stuff, I think Don't Worry Baby would probably be my favorite single song of theirs, find I play that one loud.

    Maybe I missed it, but i didn't see anyone mention the 1991 show, Sept 10th at MSG. The whole show is with Branford Marsalis. Its my go to 1991 show, at least until this new box hits.

    I will add this to the list of shows people have been throwing around because it was an unexpected one for at least me. 3/27/1993. This has been one of my most listened to shows outside of my normal years of 66 - 70

    ALL...thanks for sharing your opinion of your fav shows, provides me a road map to attack this beast! ....for the record I'm partial to 75, 77, 84, and 87. Seems I have a lot of work to do as there are 10-12 of these shows I've never heard...specifically the early shows: 67, 68, and 69, which I'm starting with today.....on a side not, the "music only" version of the box is still for sale on this site......uggggghhhhhh.....and I'm interested.

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.
