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.

Re: Winterland '74

Agreeing with the agreement of Jim and all those that are agreeable vis a vis 2/24/74, great show, wish it had been part of a box, but an all timer Dave's Pick instead as numero 13. The Dark Star> Dew goes without saying as a highlight, but I especially love the Weather Report Suite> Row Jimmy, and the Bertha. Phil has a great bomb in that Bertha, just once, but well placed, and I rewind it back at least twice every time. Really good China Rider, too. Really good sound once the issues are fixed, which if memory serves, is after Mexicali. Hard to believe this was the first Pick of the year 5 whole years ago. I'm sure those who were there can't believe that was 46 years ago today...

Also, that Dijon show from 30 Trips does sound amazing. Not my favorite setlist, but when it starts with that Uncle John's, it's like butter, and pretty soon, who cares what they played, the sound on the tape is one of the absolute best captures of a Wall of Sound show to my ears, and what they do play, they play well. And worth noting both shows have a nice Ship of Fools.

Winterland '74

Count me in as a huge fan of 2/24/74 and probably the first in the echo chamber wishing they had saved it for a full box treatment including all three shows. I was listening to Dijon '74 last night, another very well recorded 74 show..

What a great year.. so many good shows.

Edit: I finished Dijon on a bike ride today.. Has anyone else noticed that just before Phil breaks into his 11 bass riff Bobby starts a Mind Left Body sequence and they both play off each other for a minute and a half to two minutes before The Eleven dominates the direction. Incredible little ditty.. just a couple minutes but it really fubbs with your mind (in a the best possible way). What an interesting little jam.

Turned it on right when Riot In Cell Block #9 came on.... also heard Help me Rhonda and then Okie from Muskogee... Haven't listened to this show in years. Riot in Cell Block #9 was a tad painful with the synthesizer! bob t

A neighbor went to see these guys the other night in Austin I believe. I don't think I ever heard of them. He raved about them. Much to my chagrin, I don't have any! Anyone out there have a bunch you wish to share?

DAVEROCK, I think you are my brother from another British mother. Besides being close in age, our tastes are similar and quite broad. I was heartened that you could enjoy a little GFR at this late stage of the game(well, not THAT late:)
And yes, Mel Schacher is a monster on the bass, but also, that SOUND. That deep, fuzzy, distorted sound. I've always loved it, but also, his bass lines are very close to a lead line, and quite inventive.
To whoever mentioned MMW's Radiolarians 1 in their last 5, brilliant. All 3 Radiolarians cds are super fun and spontaneously creative. If you read up on the history of that series, it's intriguing, and makes you want to give 'em a listen. Happy Monday.

Skeleton Skaters

It's 2/24/74 day. In the immortal words of Bill Graham, "A peaceful Sunday night with the Grateful Dead". Possibly my favorite single show from 1974. A+ performance and setlist. Also one of the best sounding shows from 1974. Nuff said. Except that I added Here Comes Sunshine, Truckin' The Other One and Eyes of the World from the night before's soundboard. The audio quality on that board is so good, how could I not right?

Agree with RogueDeadGuy's statement that Exile on Main St. is one of the greatest rock and roll albums of all time. All the better because it was the last record in the Stones' library that I grew to like. I mean, it took me forever to understand what the fuss was about with that album. Then I had some wisdom teeth extracted and some pain killers and it all made sense. Not advocating anything, just saying what happened.

And let's face it, there is hardly a better rock and roll story than the one that accompanies the recording of that record.

Most rock fans who are into the Stones know the title refers to their move to France to avoid the high tax laws in England. But the greatest thing about that album in my mind is the environment and manner in which it was recorded. Keith Richards rented a mansion in the south of France and they recorded it there on, I think Ronnie Lane's Mobile recording studio, which was basically a big truck. So I imagine this thing sitting out front with zillions of wires running down into the basement for a couple of months. Tons of people in the Stones' orbit hung out at this place and just partied and recorded the record - in fact they eventually had to ask Gram Parsons to leave. The dragon can take anyone down I suppose - but man I can't think of any other LP I'd rather go back in time and hang out with the band as they recorded it. Only Keith lived there the rest of them where nearby, probably within an hour's Drive. Batiste was a vampire those days and just recorded whenever he was awake, which was sometimes for days on end. You ended up with Producer Jimmy Miller playing drums on a couple of tracks, Mick Taylor and Keith Richards playing bass on half the tracks, Etc. If memory serves the song Happy was laid down by Mick Taylor Keith Richards and Jimmy Miller only, and then Mick Jagger laid down some support vocals later on in Los Angeles where the album was mixed and finished.

Just to give you an idea of what this place was the Keith rent it out, is described on Wiki like this:

"Nellcôte (often referred to as Villa Nellcôte) is a 16-room mansion built during the Belle Époque on a headland above the sea at Villefranche-sur-Mer on the Côte d'Azur in southern France."

There's a documentary called The Stones in Exile that is worthy of viewership to any rock and roll fan. You appreciate the album all the much more for seeing the documentary, and if you don't know the album you always be tempted to look it up on YouTube.

Last 5

I've always done these from least to most recent -- "peaking" at No. 1 which is often what I'm listening to as I'm typing. Not this time tho.

5) The Complete Ric & Ron Recordings Vol. 1 & 2. (Technically two albums worth but I'm counting as one). Vintage New Orleans R&B to get in the Mardi Gras spirit. Livened up a boring ass Friday afternoon entering a bunch of tasks into the backlog list for work. (Not actually doing any of the tasks . . . just entering them . . . because that's what *someone* wanted)

4) Dylan - Slow Train Coming.
There was a slow train running through my head Saturday morning. It mighta been The Devil, mighta been The Lord, it mighta been too much Mardi Gras spirit, I dunno but this album seemed to fit the mood nicely.

3) Chuck Berry "In London". This was a Record store Day release from last year that I bough on impulse. I thought it would be a live set (its not) and not all of it was recorded in London, but that doesn't matter. Its a parade of one great Chuck Berry tune after another. The man was simply incapable of writing a bad tune. The sound is terrific on the LP too. If someone is looking to freshen up their Chuck Berry stash, highly recommended.

2) Rolling Stones "Exile On Main Street". One of the all time great albums in rock history. Nuff said. There's a really nice new vinyl reissue out there, if you're into that sort of thing. It was right below the Chuck Berry In London at the bookstore that day, so I HAD to get it too :)

1) GOGD 02-02-70 from St Louis, aka the first half of Dave's 6.

I've been doing my own personal deep dive into 1970 this year, in anticipation of the American Beauty / Workingman's drop. Last weekend I listened to all 3 of the New Orleans Busted On Bourbon Street shows, so I picked up where that left off. This has an interesting Dark Star . . . its not an intense mind-melter, but more like a pleasant, afternoon matinee type of Dark Star. Coming out of that St Stephen is a little wobbly, but he finds his footing at the end heading into a scorching Mason's Children. It concludes with a replacement level Lovelight - Not Fade Away sandwich which pales in comparison to the epic from the night before.

2-6-70 from the good ole Fillmore West is gonna be my next foray into 1970. I might not get to every last 70 show out there but Ima try to hit at least one from each run over the course of the year.

LOL Vguy -- "Mrs Vguy hates MMW now." I feel your pain, my man :)

Happy Lundi Gras everyone. Laissez les bon Temps Roulez.

Last 5 -70s rock

Yes, its the most recent on down for me, too.
Mr Ones...I think you are right that for a lot of bands you had to have been there a the time to really get it. It also seems to me that part of this is the age we are when we first hear things. There are a lot of bands I liked in the 70s that I would hesitate to recommend now. They fit me like glove when I was a teenager...but the likelihood of some of my opera loving friends, who are in their 60s appreciating a first listen to something like "What a Bunch of Sweeties" by the Pink Fairies now is slight indeed. Having said that, I only heard Grand Funk for the first time last year - their first 6 albums, and I like them. A proper band. Curiously, I don't like heavy rock bands that recorded after about 1975, though.
Last 5? Of course.....
Live in Paris 3/22/74 King Crimson
Freddy King Sings Freddy King
Live Wire Blues Power Albert King
Feelin' Good Jessie Mae Hemphill
Survival Grand Funk Railroad

Next stop....Cactus.

76 Box Set # 834 just arrived

Really looks great in person. They packaged this really well. I am going to listen to the first Boston concert in the set right now. Looks like they did a great job on this Boxset. Hope everybody gets theirs ASAP !

On its way, but with whom?

From the tracking info shown below, it can be seen that my order was passed to the dreaded UPS Mail Innovations and they have subsequently passed it on to the local post office for delivery, still in Fontana, CA. Bearing in mind that this is an international order that is shipping to the Netherlands, I suspect that it is now going to continue its journey with USPS and then the Dutch postal service (bless their wooden clogs), no doubt with a stopover at a Dutch customs facility where presumably taxes and duties will be levied, along with an "administrative charge" which, whilst unwelcome, is less than that charged by UPS. I may be wrong, but otherwise why would UPS hand it to the local post office.

Thanks Brown truck

Thanks Betty, ABCD Enterprises, Dave, Norman, Plangent, TPTB, Rhino, etc.

6-14 is spinning and sounds grate.

Yes, I did wipe down the outside of the box with Chlorox.

“1000 cycles ladies and gentlemen....”

Let's hear it for 1000 cycles

Always liked that comment from Phil

3 23 74

Listened to that yesterday

Nice show

Simonrob

Maybe only USPS can bring stuff into Europe at this time?

Future 5

June 10/11/14/15/19, 1976

Yes, 6-14 sounds mighty swell.

Decontamination procedure

I sprayed Chlorox bathroom cleaner on paper towels, then had paper towels in each hand, and picked up the box and wiped down the sides.

You also could wear gloves and remove the Box from the outer cardboard box. The inner Box is wrapped in plastic.

I save the shipping boxes, so I cleaned the outside.
Pretty cool how the shipping box is a single sheet of cardboard that is cut and folded to make the box.

UPS and international shipping

I received an email from UPS today regarding their operations during the current crisis. Nothing seems to have changed for customers except that they are not required to sign for packages. Mostly it was about precautions to safeguard their workers. Nothing about restrictions or cancellations of international shipments.

I think in general restrictions on international flights refer to people/passengers (and bats, naturally) rather than freight.

Re: Future 5

Right on ConeKid...I will confess, those are mine as well ha ha. Maybe I'll start with 6/11 though....hmmmm.
What spurred you to a 6/14 opener, just curious. That Slipknot! is one of the all-timers if I recall.

Good handling instructions.
I just got our mail for the first time in 2 days...that's another way to pull it off I suppose. But that was just me being lazy - ha.

Sixtus

Just Exactly Perfect

Mine arrived this morning.
Couldn't have come at a better time.
Should make this shelter-in-place a bit less stressful (though I'm not stressing much these days).

Been wanting a June 76 box for a while now, so thanks to Dave and company for making this happen. And, man oh man, the sound quality is primo.

Also, thanks to those who have checked in on me. Some days are better than others. But for now, I'm still kickin'.

Really wanted to order this

Finally got out of a long stretch of unemployment just to have my new job end up in a long term layoff with no known end in sight. Bummed. Won't be able to afford this anytime soon and will definitely be long gone before I'm back on my feet. I have the worst luck.

No doubt everybody is feeling the pinch, or soon will be. Enjoy the music if you're lucky enough to spend your quarantine time jamming out to this.

Box Set Just Arrived, quality control issues

Looking it over, I noticed minor scratches on multiple discs and the booklet seems to be missing its spine. As a Deadhead of some twenty eight years (yeah, I know, newbie), I appreciate the fact that the band/Rhino takes the time to release high quality sounding shows. But for the amount of money we lay out for releases like this, it would be nice to see better quality control. Not sure who the buck stops with here, but just wanted to put this out there.

BTW, my copy is number 544, if that helps anyone.

2/23/74

Amen, a fine show.
Currently listening to the Dicky Betts Warren Haynes version of the Allmans- Second Set and Live at The Beacon Theatre 1992-hot stuff.
Less so the Miles Davis documentary, "Birth of the Cool." I'll try not to let it put me off the music.
I am not-so far (never say never)-getting this 76 box, but am also looking forward to the reviews which will hopefully start filtering through soon.

Spacebro

I suspect that this Box will still be available when things come back around.

Seventy-Sixtus

I had all of these shows on cassette and 6-14 was my favorite, so that’s why I went with that first.

Actually paused listening because the rain stopped, the sun came out, and the temp went up to 73. Now it’s raining again, the temp is 66 and headed to 30. I opened all my windows and filled my house with warm humid air. Now back on the couch and playing 6-14 set 2.

SpaceBro

if PNW hasn't sold out yet, 76 won't sell out, either, at least for a while.

The economic impact of this...thing...is going to be gargantuan.

There's always the archive. Not the same as full-Normaned discs, but it's still there.

Skulltrip/New Box

Good to hear from you Skulltrip. Glad you got the box and will have time to enjoy that.

Love to hear more about the box!

Enjoy the box all.

Mine is still scheduled for Monday.
Train derailment or something. They won't deliver on Saturday because it is ground service, which is Monday through Friday.
I just hope it gets here before they shut the State down.

MR. ONES

Check your PM.

California has a new problem....

....people without tp are flushing other items down the pipes, clogging them. Trickle down issues.
Box is out for delivery. 👍

June 1976

Package just arrived. 5 unreleased Betty Board shows! So very thankful that the packaging for this box set is smaller than a microwave oven. PNW is pretty, but the container is almost as large as the Europe 72 suitcase with 70 + cds. Less is more as far as packaging in my opinion. Thanks for the soundtrack to the next weeks at home....

13 min Slipknot! on the 14th

Hey, it’s 4:20 as I type this

I just received my ‘76…

I just received my ‘76 boxset. Literally just opened it. Is the spine of the book supposed to just be exposed glue, or is mine just defective?

Booklet spine

It is designed to have string and glue.
At least that is my guess. That’s how books are generally bound, then a cover is put over it. This just doesn’t have a cover.

Ok Seventy-Sixtus

The 11th is on deck.
Is that your favorite, or the 10th?

Thank you Dave, Dead.net & UPS!

07925 arrived safely. Disinfected. Discs and book seem to be fine. Beautiful weather now that the sun has come here in N.Y.C.. Summer in March! With some good Ole GD!

Of course positive vibrations, thoughts and prayers going world-wide to everyone. Like Wake of the Flood; we will survive this thing.

Box 9005 in the house in Colo.

Seems like they've sold a lot if I got 9005. Sanitized and ready for the Heil AMT 4's to shake the floor. Bass bomb Phil!

SpaceBro

Check your PM, yo.

In the nick of time

#01074 showed up today. I had it shipped to work. Good thing it came today because today is the last day I’ll be able to be here for the foreseeable future. All my musical activities have been cancelled so I’ll have plenty of time for listening this weekend.

Stay well, everyone!

11397/12000 in Baltimore

Beautiful box arrived today, and it is a perfect size - a tad smaller than the July 78 box, but a similar idea.

My book also has the exposed glue and string binding... I guess I don't mind, but if it was intentional, it's kinda sloppy.

Otherwise, box looks great! I hope all the CDs are ok - I know the music is primo!

Edit: Upon further reflection, I bet the binding issue on the book is a mistake. As long as the discs play well, I won't ask for a new one over such an issue, but still...

Peace

re: On Deck

....it's the June 11th show....so goooood. That second set. I can only describe it...drippy-good.

That Sugar Mag > Eyes....oh man. The Eyes is an all-timer on this end. Just love that 2nd...
It is all enjoyable. Phil Bombs. Deeeeep Bass. Jerry's sweet tone. The mix.
I am counting the moments....UPS said by 4 PM...clock is a tickin'.

First IPA cracked in anticipation. 8.5% Wachussett Larry. Go Big or GO Home. Oh wait. I'm already home. Forever.
Hope All are enjoying as much as possible. This site is truly a ray of sunshine amidst cloudy weather and a wonderful place to go for a happy diversion.

Seventy-Sixtus

Wasn't suppose to arrive until Monday

Checked this morning and it was out for delivery for today!!! Just got it!!! Be safe everyone. bob t

2015 in Plano

LL Rain on 6/10 sounds very nice. Package very nice like always.

New Box for quarantine

I hope you all get your’s soon. I have seen UPS deliver on my street on Saturday before, so fingers crossed for those still in waiting, you shouldn’t have to wait until Monday.

Sixtus, this Big River from the 11th is cooking along. Who says 76 is slow? If this was any faster they would be complaining that it was an ‘82 cocaine-fueled rendition.

No box

I had my 76 box sent to my work and today was the last day they would be open. It was scheduled to deliver today and went out for delivery at 7:30am. At noon the status changed to Held m. It said due to a health crisis my delivery would be rescheduled. Now at 5pm they just updated my package as return to sender in Carlsbad, CA. I really was looking forward to listening this while locked down on quarantine. I have no idea what will happen now. If they will resend it or contact me. Man in super bummed.

Poshy

Edit:
Call the 1-800 number right now.

Is anyone else having…

Is anyone else having trouble loading this set on to Apple Music? It seems to be ignoring whole disks in each show. Any thoughts, help?

Thanks

They took down the 1-800 due to too many calls. I have an account with the UPS site but they never attempted delivery so it won’t allow me to change the address or schedule a pick up.

Mission in the Rain

So good!!!!!!

76 box

I just received my box. I won't open it until I get home. "SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND".

Poshy

I think that UPS My Choice will let you have it held at a local facility.

00384

Lowest number set I have ever received. For some reason they delivered it to my house even tho it has my PO Box on the label. In this case, it saved a trip, but normally, I use a PO Box so I don't have a box sitting out side to temp the passersby. I use dbpower amp to rip 24 bit and it was flawless. I started at the end, June 19th - Help on the way >>> as show opener must have been magical.

Carlo

I went from bottles to kegs after a few years, and now that I brew 1.75 gal. batches, I've returned to bottling. You want Cornelius kegs, preferably with ball (not pin) fittings. There are some 3-gal. Cornie kegs floating around, and even some 1-gal. kegs that fit well in a regular fridge. I've also had luck putting the beer in growlers with carefully-measured priming sugar (and slightly less (~30% less)) than normal, and then carbonating just like in bottles. If you want to spring for a tank of nitrogen (besides the tank of CO2 you'll normally use), then you can even have a keg that dispenses with that gas.

I do enjoy XTC, especially Skylarking.

I think my box is coming via the USPS, but I saw the carrier come and go at the curbside box, and he didn't shove any packages in. :(

Brewer

Thank you. I'm going to go with the Cornelius 3 gal. And just buy a keg fridge with the post and faucet set up. Thanks for the intro suggestion. I think I will go all the way since I can now afford it. Also thanks for the ball instead of the pin suggestion. There is nothing to good for my beer. P.S.-thanks jim for the beer help too.

Kegs

Less than two gallons doesn't work well for kegs. I actually don't brew much anymore, but when I do it's all grain (no syrups), liquid yeast and as fresh hops as I can get. My house batch is a 50 lb sack of grain (why, because it's cheaper and better) which roughly yields 30 gallons of beer. I give most of it away, which can at times give me mayor status in the tiny little hippie town I live in.

So 1 sack of grain, fresh hops, yeast and water and I get either 3 5-gal kegs for a half batch or 6 5-gal kegs for a full batch. I find if you are doing all grain, it matters little whether you brew 2 gallons or 30 as far as time, and it's much cheaper and higher quality to buy materials in bulk.. so there you have my calculus. Same time input, cheaper and free beer for my friends and river rats.

If I never sanitize another bottle in my life.. than I will have lived a good life (ooops, bad timing on that comment). Seriously.. if you are going to go, go big and all grain is the way to go.

No box for me, no box for me.. god only knows where my box be...

P.S. I have a few extra 5 gal kegs for free now that I don't brew so much anymore. free, of course. If I do a batch every three of five years, that's a lot. Then again, like most reading these posts.. we might just have more free time quite soon and the price per pint if you make your own, is a fraction of buying it from the store. (and better tasting, better for you and did I mention cheaper?).

Free lessons but only if you dare the rapids that are just upstream....

Re: Booklet spine

>>>>>>>>>>
It is designed to have string and glue.
At least that is my guess. That’s how books are generally bound, then a cover is put over it. This just doesn’t have a cover.

Just opened my box (#2126) and had the same booklet spine issue as others have reported. I believe this is indeed by design. I re-watched the unboxing video in full screen mode on my PC and right at the 1:56 mark when the book is flipped over from front to back I was able to stop playback and see that the spine on the book in the unboxing video looked to be just like what I had received (string & glue).

Really Nice Box

Just got this box and it looks awesome, really nice box. Almost exactly the same size as the first May '77 box. Lots of detail in the art on the box, pleasing colors and a nice touch with the unusual way the box opens from the side. Packaging for the individual shows is essentially the same as the first May '77 box and the July '78 box, again, nice colors on the packaging for the individual shows, and more detailed art on each one. A nice bright spot in an otherwise lackluster day. Looking forward to diving in for a first listen.
