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.

Lot's of great ideas for box sets. . ..

And I would buy all of them! Watkins Glen complete with the other bands and sound check would be, if, I had to pick only one, would be The One! Yet RFK 73 would be a runner up.

I still daydream about Radio City/Warfield tapes being rediscovered.

Requests

And since this seems to be request time, I'll throw my hat in the ring for san antonio 72. I think its 11-26? Fantastic dark star, playing, etc. Unfortunately the only version available sounds like hot garbage. Definitely needs an upgrade

Hello Deadland!

Hope everyone is doing well, I'm just hanging out digging on this box. It's a bit of slow process when no one in the house but me "gets it". "Theres 5 versions of the same song in 5 shows?" Haha. Also listening to some anniversary shows, love me some 4/2/73. And just to switch it up I've been listening to the island tour. I was lucky enough to hit the first 2. If u want some deep outer space, I highly recommend the twist from 4/2, man that version takes me places! Stay safe, and keep washing those hands!!

Releases

Just give me the remaining Dark Star shows Plangentized ASAP. Give it its own series. Or make a big box set. Or periodic mini box sets. The rest will take care of itself.

I'm also on board with the Watkins Glen release that was mentioned. And the RFK '73 double dose. I'm also good with the April '71 box set idea - and make sure it's engineered to sound exactly like Ladies and Gentlemen. Might as well mention Port Chester '71 since the wish list is out.

At the moment I'm listening to Dave's Picks 17, Selland July '74. Keith sounds so good on Weather Report Suite. I've been a big fan of this show since it arrived on my doorstep. I wish Bertha wasn't fucked up. If I had my old easy CD Creator software, I'd be able to patch it by overdubbing the opening chords. Anyway....It's been a few months since I put this one on. Now I'm wondering if I like it better than the 1974 shows in the Pacific Northwest box set. I may need to do a side-by-side comparison. I'm also experiencing some runner's high at the moment, and that never hurts a show. I know it's not a popular choice but it just catches me the right way. I wonder why they didn't call "Jam" "Spanish Jam". Blah blah, blah blah blah blah.....

Ironically Carlo, it was a Sunshine Daydream sitting on a Barnes & Noble shelf that converted me from being a casual fan to holding a PhD in Europe '72. Ah yes, that fateful day in B & N. I've barely put another band on since April 2014. Something weird happened in January of this year and I started listening to the Best of INXS. But by February the spell had passed and I'm right back on the bus with Cowboy Neil at the wheel.

I agree with you on what you are saying but general releases dont do well in brick and mortar stores. I have seen a sunshine daydream veneta at barnes and noble sit there for months with no buyers. Same with a few other that dont sell (Cornell and long strange trip vid.). Its weird.

Greetings bob t, could you extrapolate on your remark?

"I wish but i don't have confidence on the June 10, 1973 show getting release."

I read way back that the GD and ABB had put together a box of the best from 6/9, 6/10, 7/27 and 7/28, but nixed it. Of course, it's harder to do those deals with two bands and sets of heirs. But why do you say this of 6/10?

Just curious. Have you read something about the tape or other issue?

The Futures here, we are it...

Great points all, and though I agree on saturation and absorption issues, I think they could step up production if they wanted to. Yes the production team are truly wizards, but at the same time it’s not rocket science. If they have the tapes and know their good to use, the rest is doable.
Personally, I think adding one or 2 more Dave’s a year, and doing say one “bigger” box i.e., June 76, and one smaller i.e., RFK 89 a year, if staggered properly, and marketed properly (like dont release 2 competing sets in a year?and price accordingly) could work.
Maybe not 2 “boxes” every year, maybe years like this with 2 50th anniversary albums you don’t do 2, but say years that don’t have a 50th release get another release/box/from the vault? Whatever....but something above and beyond say a Dave’s or Dicks type release.
Sure you might not be able to do 15 or 20K units, but you could make up for with the additional releases...
I mean I agree with all you have said, except at current pace they could run out of hardcore absolute buyers so that by 20 years they can’t even sell out a 5K box run? Just a thought.....
As far as the rest, I get what Jim’s saying about the quality and easy accessibility issues, but I think if they could figure out some kind of economy of scale to make it work, so that you could at least get out some of the later source shows, enough folks would want at least certain shows, say ones they were at, or those that were really stand outs.
So if they could find a way to digitize and improve quality enough, with added packaging/marketing, to be enough of a step up above the online stuff, while of course turning at least a fair profit, it might work?
I think there’s enough low tech geezers like me that would totally buy enough shows overall to do this. I’m not going to spend time I don’t have downloading tons of stuff via my horrible net service. But I would buy say a few dozen ala carte releases like a Road trips or even the download series quality, but on a disc. (I’m talking full or most of shows here, not chop jobs).
With everything digitized, using a low budget universal packaging system you could do say pre-sale order only.
Like “next month only, order your 7/13/84” ...you get your money up front, and you don’t have to guess about run numbers. You take your universal packaging, change the labeling slightly, and you sell however many so that at least it will pay for itself. Might not be huge money maker, but you repay the fans for 50 plus years of ridiculous spending, plus in some ways you keep those interested that aren’t hardcore, or all ready feel they have plenty of older shows.
Just look at how well the response was for the Giants box? No ones going to argue that any of this would compare or replace say FW69 or E72 leval stuff, but I would argue that there is potentially enough interest for late generation folks who aren’t going to drop $200 for a 1970 Beatty box, but who would definetly buy the 3 or 4 ala carte shows they were at from later years. 4 or 5 $30 purchases, along with added shipping profits, by 10s of thousands of buyers overall, could equal or surpass the high production limited profits of said $200 box.
Sorry, rambling, I guess I’m trying to say their ignoring a potentially large audience by only offering product they don’t want!
Obviously it means doing this somehow affordably/profitably, and I also think you have to do it sooner than later because I agree with Kid that someday it will all be upgraded and availabilie via download, but will there still be a economically viable market by then? Who knows, hell, no way I thought 30 years ago the Dead would still be this relevant now....
Anyway, just a thought, and interesting stuff for sure!

Thanks and R.I.P. Eliis and the Great Bill Withers...
May the four winds blow them safely home!

Europe Autumn 1990 Box?

Now I could go for that!

Dear Dave an N.Y.C. September 1979 @ MSG would make a great mini box set!!! Think about, please kind Sir.

Transitions

Listened to 4/22/69 from 30 Trips yesterday, and I would say it earns its reputation. I love its low key, meditative start with Dupree's Diamond Blues, and how this segues into Mountains of the Moon and on into Dark Star. The music seems to cast a beautiful unearthly glow. It occurred to me that, whereas the 1972 Playing's have the effect of containing infinity within finite boundaries-the songs intro and triumphant return - Dark Star was more framed by the songs on either side of it than by the verses of the actual Dark Star song. And my favourite entry point to Dark Star, from any point in their career, is Mountains of the Moon.

This morning I went through the great Lovelight from Frankfurt 4/26/72, and its superb journey to Goin' Down the Road.

Lately I can Depend

On my Black Lab waking me up at 5am to take a leak. He usually makes some dog noises at the door, but last night I fell asleep with the noise cancellation headphones on. I was having a Spicoli dream with a babe on each arm, except instead of being a surfer I was Mick Taylor right before he joined the Stones. It was all I could do to get away from an interviewer and back to my room with these women, one who is actually my neighbor's wife (wtf???) and the other was one of the Playboy centerfold's who adorned my room when I was 10 years old (wall2wall). Weird situation in hindsight - my dad had long since flown the coup and the lady next door used to bring over her husband's last month's Playboy magazines (story for another day). So lol, I'm chuckling just writing this - I'm in this dream trying to get away from this interviewer so I can get these ladies back to my room, and the logic in my mind about the neighbor's wife was if we got caught, we would just tell him she was with the centerfold woman and I was showing them how to read a map to get back home. But the interviewer wouldn't stop asking questions. I felt myself getting impatient in the dream and my manners ran out. I finally said, "listen man, they're licking my face for fuck's sake - we're ready to head out man - come to my room in the morning; we'll have coffee and room service and I'll answer all your questions". The guy told me it was cool and we headed off to a limo. I said ladies, you can stop licking my face now, he's gone. And then all of the sudden they were gone - poof - and my wife was standing there in my dream telling me the dog reaally has to go out. I woke up to this Black Lab licking my face, trying desperately to wake me and let him out.

Jimbo - I read your notes on 6/17/75 and it's definitely the one I have. Just all of the patchwork in Crazy Fingers and the patch at the beginning of U.S. Blues is enough to prove it out. Sounds like I have the best available.

I didn't actually start the morning with the requisite E72 show, which is the one disc "Dead Beat Club" show. This has a fantastic Othe One; at 21 minutes it's short and sweet. I went with Dave's Picks Berkeley, specially modified to kick off with the great Promised Land => Bird Song that DP 36 graced us with. I continue to screw with the set list, going so far as to move Sugar Magnolia up in the order and replace Sunshine Daydream with Bertha, which comes in perfectly on queue (I love Jerry's soloing at the end of Bertha). Heck I even included the soundboard Dark Star => Morning Dew from the night before, simply because "why not?" Audio's almost as good.....

Daverock - I can't wait to get to that 4/26 show Other One you mentioned. If I had to try to come up with some original words to describe its quality.....hmmm.....I guess I would say "it's everything". I mean really, it almost plays out like a '72 Dark Star during the improv bits. I think Jerry was REALLY inspired by Dark Star, Part II on the 24th, and just wanted to continue that unplanned 15 minute bit of genius after Me and My Uncle. Just maybe . Come to think of it, "it's everything" doesn't really describe that 4/26 version of The Other One with the blend of quality and originality I was aiming for- I'd say it's more like "everything AND a bag of chips".

I also recently learned to appreciate 30 Trips 1969 show as so much more than a two-track inferior spin-off of the Fillmore West Complete box set. Set lists are obviously very similar, but this show has some bite to it. I may revist today. Thanks for the reminder.

Country Weather again

Curiously, considering I mentioned them on here last week, and then got a recommendation for their album by Simon, on the inner sleeve of the 30 Trips cd 4/22/69, their is a reproduction of a concert poster featuring the Dead...and topping the list...Country Weather. Never noticed it before.

Still haven't ordered their album, although I am clearly being led to do so. I'm gradually getting over my worries about ordering things through the post being contaminated. Although, not to make light of things-and apologies for any offence caused - it would be a curiously apposite way for a bloke like me to meet his maker. Being offed by a rare psychedelic album. "It was that Country Weather album", they will say, "he didn't stand a chance."

Now it really is getting serious.

Authorities in Bavaria have cancelled this year's Oktoberfest in München. Bad news for Gerd, Gerhard and others. Where will it all end?

Thirty Licks

KF, your 'dream sequence' had me guffawing-out-loud by the end; don't you just LOVE how things in ones dream never truly seem to translate into reality? The dog licking translation from your dream was too funny. Adds some levity to my morning.

Now, what to jump into. Was looking for inspiration going through the most recent comments and I realized I hadn't listened to the Giants box/pre-91 shows in a while (thx Jimmy) so that just might hit the spot.

Otherwise, dive into a great Dark Star or Other One today and take a ride.

it'll end up in the home cellar or home garden, same system as home office, i guess.

Jim, need a new release?

Well, guess what?
Just so happens that DaP34 remaining copies go on sale today.

Solo bierfest?

In your cellar or in your garden, a solo bierfest doesn't sound like a lot of fun. Would you have to wear a dirndl to fetch the beer then change into lederhosen to drink it? Whatever, strange times call for strange measures.

... I’m listening to Dicks Picks #26 ;recoded on
4/26/69 & 4/27/69! What a Primo Pick of the dicks Pick series! Man, this is where it’s at! 🙏❤️🤠💀🌹

re: Solo

Simonrob - top part 'hosen, bottom part St. Pauli Girl dress - amirite? Or is it the other way around?
I know I've got a litre glass mug around here somewhere.

Solo Beer Fest = pretty much every day at Clan Sixtus these days.

Solo Bierfest

Simonrob,
well, good thing is I have a garden and I have a cellar.
Another good thing is, I have lederhosen and I have liter steins, -mugs, -glasses and a large variety of fantastic, unique brew around to buy. And I have the choice to get it in bottles or small kegs.
And, there are brothers around in the same miserable position.
So we could get together and listen to e. g. the '76 box and have some fun.
But, box hasn't arrived yet!
A bummer is, no Dirndl serving. Gotta figure something out.
Take care

Stepping Out w The Dead and Keith's missing piano. Finally got a copy of this (through the magnificent benevolence of a board member)

And wow keith, quite glaring. More like they just forgot to put his track on.

The other day we mention about cd labeling when ripping, how some there, some not, some wrong. While ripping in "stepping out", and I've had this with other albums, but always get a laugh. Songs that have [Live] after the title, ok, on a studio album with a couple of live cuts thrown on, but when I see a live show with chuckle.

TV shows went by the other day. I just caught "first man" (about Neil Armstrong) and the moon stuff. Brought back a memory (which I have every 10 years or so), but who remembers Andy Griffith in a show called "savage 1"?

Andy was a junkyard/scrap dealer who decides he's gonna build a rocket and savage all the stuff left behind on the Moon. I liked as a kid. They only made 20 and only showed 16 before being cancelled. I ended up looking for the show up to see if it was available on disc and like most net lookups you go far too deep and read too much. We all know (or should know) one of the big lines from the moon landing was "the eagle has landed". Well in the Andy show when he makes it to the moon to savage all the shit he says, "the vulture has landed". I certainly didn't remember this from back in the day but had a good laugh.

Dirndl?

You have got to have a German Beauty wearing a Dirndl serving the beer. Anything else is unacceptable!

right! Preferably with a lot of Holz vor der Hütt'n.
Less will do, too.
Ha, ha.

Slow Dog Noodle, deadegad, Dennis and all, thank you.

I see I'm not the only one waiting for the boxset to be delivered. Nevermind, I got many releases to listen to. I'll wait for it.

I've just read the track listing of the Dave's Picks 34, it seems spectacular, and the bonus disc could be one of the best.

Meanwhile, I think I will listen again to Dave's Picks 24, I like this show.

Be well.

Dupree's & Mountains of the Moon intros, 4/26 transition

Couldn't agree more DaveRock.

Mountains and Duprees.. I love those subtle soft, flexible songs into the calm waters of Dark Star in the Constantan years . Dicks Picks 26 has some similar moments but this one hasn't grabbed me quite as hard yet.. but give it some time. I really think we are due for another 1969.. and they are in the vault.

As for the transition into GDTRFB from 4/26, it's an all-timer. A couple years ago, I found myself with some free time in the middle of winter on a work day and ended up doing something crazy and fun stuff alone in the backcountry in an enhanced state.. my playlist that fateful day contained the same passage (Lovelight>GDTR) but from Bickershaw. I might just like this a little better. The transition is not quite as good, but just by a hair and I think the Lovelight is stronger, perhaps the strongest of the tour. ..but that segment of music, really Jack Straw though GDTRFB/NFA is amazing. A creative, tight, succinct fluid piece of music. SimonRob was there that day, the longest show of the tour. I think it was a post from VGuy that prodded me to put that show on my device that fateful day. But Bickershaw, wow.. a historic performance, as was Jahrhundert Halle. Well they all were historic performances, weren't they.

Mountains-Dark Star spoiler. Bickershaw

Jim...I have just dusted off 4/22/69 for an anniversary listen, and noticed there's one on here too. This is a run, the Ark, Boston April 1969, that is often suggested for a box, and it would be a great choice. If what you say about more 1969 shows possibly being released soon, this would be a perfect run to centre on.

Although Bickershaw was in my general area of growing up-the North West of England, and I had started going to gigs that year, it was before my festival going years started-with Pink Floyd, Knebworth 1975. But the photographs of Bickershaw, with all the cold looking, bedraggled, long haired people reminds me of the mood of the times. Its no wonder Black Sabbath and Hawkwind were so popular. They reflected the stoned North Western British experience to perfection.
But, I digress... Bickershaw was a great show.

No, there's still no sign of…

No, there's still no sign of the '76 Box in France. How long will it take for the Dave's Pick to get here?

51 years ago, unbelievable. Just listened to it.
Turn On Your Lovelight got me.
Pigpen wound up, full of energy, awesome.

Ark Ark

A great run.. a very popular box suggestion. I do think we are do and I also think there is a good bit of quality 69 in the vault.

Gonna hideout in Colgate 11/4/77 for a bit

One of those shows where i like the audience versions better..... bob t

Yippee! Box has arrived!!!

I finally got it. #9464,
gonna be a beautiful weekend at home.

So Grateful

Box No. 9146 arrived safely to my home today, south of Germany close to the austrian border, what a good timing......yiiiiipiiiih!!!
Still waiting for the DaP33, had contact to CustomerService, they are doing home office they said, once they are
back the will send a replacement to me - well, I got time, hope......and a BOX!
Grateful Greetings to all of you out there,
Stay home
Stay healthy
Keep calm
Play Dead

Still waiting in Sweden

But my tracking has been updated for the first time since 28 march(!)
Repeating the exact same message yesterday as 28 march: parcel has left the international distribution center.
(Which it had already done on march 28!)
So still the wrong side of the pond.....

Also waiting in Sweden ...

As of yesterday this is the tracking message:

Your item arrived at an origin transfer airport in LOS ANGELES, UNITED STATES on April 24, 2020 at 9:39 pm. The item is currently in transit to the destination.

By the end of March the package was in New York. I made a phone call to USPS Sweden a week ago or so and they said the box set was being shipped by boat to Europe. So I guess I still have to expect a long wait?

Micke Östlund,
Växjö, Sweden

Sweden -Dogon, Deadmike

I was waiting too.
What I found out, the transatlantic shipping to Germany was made by UPS/air on behalf of USPS.
Domestic shipping was done by regular postal Service, here DHL.
Funny thing is, tracking says arrival Germany on March 28, same day as yours, but on this side of the Atlantic.
I guess, box was probably held up at the customs office because of staff shortage in these strange days. But who knows?
Dogon I'd sent you a pm. Gerd

Whoo Hoo

Great to hear the boxes are beginning to arrive in Europe (and hopefully elsewhere).. Fill us in on what you think, to me it exceeded expectations, always a bonus. I think I liked the first two shows the best.. Lucky Boston.

Box in Germany

My Box arrived in Germany on 3/23 via UPS. Yesterday I received a note from DHL that my box finally arrived on my island. Will pick it up tomorrow. Taxes EUR 20.85 and addtitional costs of EUR 6.00. About EUR 12. 00 less as expected. Stay safe

The Isle Of Fehmarn in the northern part in Germany is situated on the east coast of Mecklenburg Bay, your mentioned Friesland is on the west coast - where the water is running away in regulary terms.
By the way, my last five:
Derek & The Dominoes - Live Fillmore (Vinyl)
David Crosby - Here If You Listen (Vinyl)
Eddie Vedder - Berlin 2019 (CDR)
GD - Dominguez Hills 5/5/90 (CDR)
Tamikrest - Tamotait

Let there be songs to fill the air

Box made it to Fehmarn...

way up in the North, only a short step to Sweden.
I'll bet, boxes will arrive in Sweden next week.

Slow boat to Europe

Glad to hear that your Boxes are finally arriving.
Enjoy!

I'm also glad to hear....

....that Europe Heads are finally getting this box. You will love it. Signed - USA.

Fehmarn

I just took the Google Earth trip to Fehmarn and it looks wonderful!

Well ...

I hope I will get my box soon. And I do hope it hasn't already been here and gone back to Rhino and that's why it was last seen in Los Angeles. I have been in contact as well with the Swedish postal service and due to them it hadn't arrived yet 1-2 weeks ago. They could find one of the tracking numbers but so could I and we had the same information about the package. But my feeling is that I will eventually get it ... :-)

Sweden

Well Micke, Skåne is closer to Fehmarn than Växjö...
The race is on!
(And not for the first time)

The Race

will continue when DaP 34 is shipped
G.

The Race? Slowing down!

Gerd, lets hope we all live that long, I'm 67!

Still waiting

Not only in Sweden folks are waiting. Also here in Franconia, Southern Germany not the bloodiest wee clue where this box might be and when it eventually may arrive. Congratulations to all of you who got already. Enjoy it and stay healthy and do not use bad chemicals. May be not funny.

'76 box -delivery to europe

No sign of the box in Norway either - and no further information on either ups or usps pages. I wonder why they can't just admit that the whole corona-situation causes huge delays. As I have understood the situation, this time Dead.net store chose to send the european packages via UPS mail innovation (what a misleading name...). There'is probably a big container somewhere with all our boxes in it - and hopefully they arrive before the release of the next box this year. My box was for many weeks in LA, then prosessed through a facility in New York and is now in transit from april 22nd.
For the good of all our nerves, please keep posting updates on shipment here, there is allways better to share the anxiety of not getting boxes and cds than sit alon and press refresh on tracking several times a day.

box is on it's way. I'm positive, you'll get your box this week.
Bavarian authorities, if customs, police, etc., are always more strictly than the ones in the rest of Germany.
Well, that's the only bad thing about Bavaria.
Today, my wife and I did some hiking in the Rhön-Mountains.
For some reason I didn't lock the car. After we returned I had a ticket on my driver's seat, 15 Euros punishment, issued by Bavarian police, for not locking the car.
Nevertheless I can be lucky, they didn't take the CD's I had with me, out of the box, June 14, '76.
I wonder if you could get a ticket in the US, Sweden, Netherlands or elsewhere, for not locking your car.
Gerhard, alles wird gut

#5928 has landed

Especially for the germanheads who are still waiting here comes the delivery itinerary of #5928:

3/17/20 Fantana, CA -> UPS
3/23/20 landing in Germany (probably Frankfurt)
From this date on no further informations available till 04/25/20. As far as I can sort it out today:
04/18/20 costums check
04/23/20 box -> DHL
04/25/20 box arrived, got a notice on my front door
04/27/20 box could picked up at post Office

Glad dead.net put on a value of USD 120 on the declaration so it saved about EUR 12 on taxes.

Hope all others who are still waiting will receive their box within the next days and maybe DP34 more faster.

Greetings to all from the sunny Isle of Fehmarn, stay safe

15€ for not locking the car?

Good thing your CD’s were still there.

ICECRMCNKD

you're right. Good luck, CD's were still there.
Cops probably got high on issueing a ticket for that crimnal act of not locking the car and failed to see the gems.
