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.

Things

DaveRock - Does 63 count as old,,,, it does to me when I work with all 19 year olds! I had a girl asked me if I was around for the Depression!!! I said, how fucking old do you think I am. Okay, when first hired she asked if I was a cop! Kids!

Oroborus - new people. yeah seemed like a few new names have gone by,,, I always look at the date joined to see if it's a known person trying to hide :-)

Vguy - I don't know what made me laugh more,,, seeing the foam finger for sale this morning or you commenting on it!

Jvonl (a new name?) and Jim - agree on all eras. To me it's about the catalog of songs. Not who is playing them. Small cover bands doing UJB, great. Dead and Co, great. (truth told, I like Furthur better) I find when just playing a mix up of all eras I don't think about the 'who' but flow with the feeling. Most recordings can be more of one player and less of another. Some nights maybe the keys had a hot idea, sometimes the bass... Luckily we have so many choices. Also I know----

When I sing along to Grateful Dead songs, I have a beautiful singing voice. :-)

Meet up at the Movies AMC at Lennox was F@CKING ROCKIN last nite

Rosebud eyes were sparkling

theater was about half full shown on one of the nicer bigger screens #2 and the sound was up to full blast. Guy sitting two seats away made a quick move down to the front dancin and groovin at the start of "Walkin' Blues" and then others joined in. Fellow sitting to my right was next LOL left his kids in the dust haha. During the short moment between sets theater audience sang Happy birthday to Jerry. 2nd set blasted off with Saint of Circumstance and then fog rolled in during Ship of Fools. Truckin' was one of the highlights for me and the sequence that followed through Drums

very fun last night

Blu ray/dvd-Galvin

Yeah-and as I said earlier, why can't they include the dvd in with the single disc package. Loads of bands do this-Ozric Tenatcles, Hawkwind are two more.

I used to collect everything until I realised how long I was going to live and how much they were going to release.

Incidentally, people often refer to themselves as being "old" on here, and I am curious as to how old these people actually are, and if they are older or younger than me. Just being nosey.

Welcome Back

The upside of all this is posting by many good folks we’ve not seen around here lately.
I’ve noticed way more people here in the last few days than since last year? Some I’ve never seen, some who used to come around at least now and again...
Welcome back!

No Blu-Ray With Hi-Res downloads

Once again a Video Blu-Ray is being included with CD Box Set only. If you prefer these 24, and 48 track recordings in 192/24 Flac you give up the Awesome Blu-Ray. The same option offered for Sunshine Daydream. Why can't the Blu-Ray be included with the download audio (for a cost), or why can't it be ordered stand alone by itself. It makes no sense to order both the download, and the box set just to get the Blu-Ray. Does anyone else who prefers hi-res flacs share these thoughts?

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…

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!
