    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.

    I had never heard of them until I got this compilation. Their "Flight To New York" is a stand out track - and that's in the company of all the San Francisco heavy weights of the era. I had a look at Amazon UK last night and noticed how much it was going for. I'm not paying that much. ! The vinyl edition you mention is available on Discogs from Germany, I think, for about £35.00, which seems a bit more reasonable. I am a bit wary of getting things through the post at the moment, though. Its available as a download-the cd version-on iTunes for only £7.99, so maybe that's the best way forward.
    Another characteristic of this global crisis is that I have been a lot less acquisitive over the last four weeks. I don't think I have bought a new album/cd whatever, in all that time. I don't think I have gone such a long time doing without since I was 14. Might not be such a bad thing.

    Still no delivery...

    Feels like last year all over again.
    UPS has nothing on its system since 03/24, when it says In transit by post office.
    No one manning UPS phone lines, no tracking number for post office, no way to find out what has happened.

    Anyone else in the UK got theirs or in same position?

    Surprised to see them get a mention on here. Indeed a fine group, but what else would you expect with Greg Douglass on guitar. Almost all their recorded output was collected on the CD "San Francisco 1969-1971" on Classic Music Vault from 2014. This can be found at silly prices, and I mean silly. For instance, you can buy it new from Amazon UK for 1372.95 pounds or used for 1280.01 pounds. However, there appears to be a new copy on Amazon US for $31.97 There was a 2LP set "Country Weather" released on RD Records in Switzerland in 2005 which contains 2 tracks not on the later CD release. Conversely the CD contains one track not on the vinyl version. This is even harder to find than the CD. Greg Douglass then went on to play with John Cipollina in Terry Dolan's "Terry and the Pirates", one of my all time favourite Bay Area bands. Get some!

    Stoltzfus…...it just goes to show how differently people can perceive things. I played Happy Trails by Quicksilver last week for about the millioneth time, and I still think its astonishing. It was the first West Coast album I bought, back in 1974, and there hasn't been a time or season since when I haven't played it. Beauty is in the eye ( or in this case ear) of the beholder, as they say.

    Carlo...agree on that. Cream Puff was of its era, although I think it would have fitted in alright up to 1969. It would have stuck out like a sore thumb when they started on the Working Man's era. A lot of band disowned their psychedelic past as the 70s kicked in. See Emily Play is my favourite Pink Floyd record...but it wouldn't have fit into their sets too well when they moved into progressive rock with Atom Heart Mother in 1970. It seems form this distance that American psyche bands moved towards more traditional musical forms in the 1970s-country rock, blues rock etc. Shame...I preferred the stuff they were doing a bit earlier.
    There are many great compilations of Psychedelic bands from 1966-1969 out there. A great one featuring San Francisco bands is "Love is the Song We Sing", a 4 cd set with a great hard back book released by Rhino about 10 years. Its got many well known songs on it--all time classics like Omaha by Moby Grape, Bass Strings (EP version) by Country Joe and the Fish as well as records that are really obscure- Fly to New York by Country Weather is out of this world.

    Mornin', rockers!!!

    Speaking of rockers, hop in the way back machine and go back 49 years...…………

    A powerful and deep show, wonderfully designed and perfectly executed by the Dead, crackling with energy, a supernova of a show that blows away almost everything else played that month. How did they do it? Did they all drop acid? I’ll even ignore the fact that there are only two Pigpen tunes. The band is on fire, every tune here works, cosmic reflections of all that was good and pure about the Dead’s music that month. Rocking all over the place, with wonderful slices of soul and psychedelia, on this night everything the Dead touches turns to gold and pure bliss. Somehow, some way, on April 14 1971, in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, the Dead played a show for the ages………

    X-Factor deluxe,

    Rock on my friends!

    That makes sense. It's kind of like 'incense and peppermints' fits only the psychedelic era and cant be taken out of that era. I don't believe the other guy who thought mabey they were embarrassed by 'CPW' or 'the golden road'. There is nothing embarrassing about them at all. They just dont fit any other era. Just an opinion.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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'.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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....

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?

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.

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.

#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!

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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. :(

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.

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....

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).

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.
