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.

Good stuff man. "Stuffed me into a hockey jersey and telling one liners about my mother" 😂😂😂😂

You should put those up on a blog. Probably no one would read it except us, but at least we could get to it without scrolling back through hundreds of old comments.

Shipping notice

I received my shipping notice yesterday. Delivery due next Monday 3/23. My birthday is 3/22 so what better present could there be? I was surprised to see that it was going to take 1 week when usually it is 2-3 days. But when I used the UPS tracking no. I saw it is coming from Cali so that explains it. I am very happy that hopefully they will now ship everything from Cali and control things better. After all, they could not have gotten much worse then the past couple of year's cluster fucks! I am VERY pumped for this one. Should be awesome.

Be Well, Beer, and kindness

Kid, be well mi amigo, hope it’s just a cold, watch your temperature!
Beer, remember folks you can never have too much, but you can have not enough!

Saw a waitress a few weeks ago wearing a shirt that said “kindness is cool” believe it was her uniform.

Slow Dog, careful, the basterds are everywhere! Sounds like you need some high powered weapons. I mean good god man, if their taking your TP that’s bad enough, but your personal Rum stash! There’s not a jury in this land would convict a man for defending that!

Ha..

I have returned all the rum and parked a recently borrowed, fully stocked, refrigerated beer truck where the Benz and Beamer were parked.

Well done Sir.

Get better Cone Kid. Best of luck to all. Was watching the news in between calls today and a t-shirt caught my eye. "Don't Forget Kindness."

Beer Store Run

...also just got back from a beer store run. Seeing stuff about some cities closing down completely, i wanted to ensure I had the most important items ha ha. No, seriously. I'd cry if all of the beer stores were suddenly shuttered - it's not that far off people. Seeing mentions of potentially June/July/August until this darkness gives? That seems crazy at this point, but altruism is necessary and I will do my part.

Bring on the box - similar to others, I am seeing a Friday delivery. Will make for a solid weekend of entrenchment.
Hope folks are faring well and have a quasi-positive outlook.

Sixtus

P.S. Looks like Amazon has begun to limit shipments of only essential items in the wake of the wold events unfolding. $hit is getting real if it wudn't already!

I’m in real quarantine

I have what appears to be a standard wintertime cold/flu (been sneezing for 2 weeks, so I knew it was coming). I don’t currently meet the criteria for Covid-19, but what bad timing.
Now I’m really not allowed out in public.

I slept for 12 hours last night, and woke up to dog puke on the floor.....but he’s good now, just ate a bowl of dog food. Now he’s harassing me to play outside but it’s cloudy and wet outside. This wouldn’t be all bad if it was sunny and warm, I could kick back in the sun and roast coffee beans.

Fired up some quarantine tunes - 5-19-74 vinyl.

Looks like my Box has departed Los Angeles with arrival scheduled for the 20th. Hope it gets here early, I have a lot of spare time on my hands.

Fortunately I went to Sam’s Club about a month ago and have a pretty good stash of TP, and went to the grocery store on Friday and got 2 gallons of milk with 14 days to go on the date.

Was going to stop at the beer store yesterday but there was a line in the parking lot because they were limiting how many people could be in the store at a time.
I have 2 cases of various barrel aged stouts aging in the basement, and about 2 cases of various IPA’s, but really wanted another case.
As a back up plan there is vodka, tequila, and rum (not yours Slow Dog) in the cabinet. My neighbor said he has 8 cases of beer so he could help me out if needed.

Bring on the 76 marathon!

This town...Ghost town

I've just had notification that Faust's gig in London on 8th May has been postponed. I'm waiting now for similar notifications concerning shows by Live Dead 69, Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets and the North Mississippi Allstars. Hopefully we will be back to normal by October when we have Deep Purple/Blue Oyster Cult and Patti Smith.

But if you are healthy and not running out of money, social isolation isn't actually that bad. Just needs a change of gears.

Quarantine - Day 2

Dear Diary,

Things have taken an unexpected turn for the worse here. Despite being well stocked with the absolute essentials, a note of despair has crept into the proceedings. I "awoke" to find a substantial portion of the rum stock missing, and a solitary bottle of hand sanitizer in the icebox behind two heads of cabbage and a grapefruit. I immediately deposited the sanitizer into the bathtub, cursing my own careless oversight.

It was bit of a haze, but somewhere around the 13th or 14th mai tai - I believe in the middle of When Push Comes to Shove of that lovely '87 Giants Stadium show - I only remember fragments, but there was a hockey jersey being pulled over my head and someone was telling one-liners about my mother. I lunged towards the intruder, mai tai in hand, but age and idleness may have finally had their best of me. I was lying there on the floor, my bearskin cap barely perched atop my head, my only solace was the wad of toliet paper affixed to the ruffian's heel as he wheeled and flashed a wicked grin, pulling a sack of my hard-won 4-ply behind him. When i came to I was wearing a vegas jersey and my mai tai had spilled over the horribly rendered logo.

As things stand my stocks have been severely damaged, but hope remains. We're just staring this journey, and having more hand sanitizer and toliet paper out amongst the proletariat must only serve the greater good of mankind.

A hopeful message has arrived in the post and the wells fargo wagon is now expected to bring round a package any day containing a much anticipated boxed set. To rebalance my humors i put on 7-5-78. Thats all for now.

Not the same, but your car story reminds me of when I parked my car on a housing estate to visit a friend - about 30 years ago. When I came out, the windows of the car had been broken, and the carrier bag I had left on the passenger seat had been stolen. After clearing up the glass, I drove to the police station to report what had happened. They told me it was my fault for leaving a bag unattended in the car. And no, they weren't going to investigate.

That was in a place called Rochdale. If you ever come to England, I suggest you avoid it.

Dave/Rochdale

Reminds me of when wifey and I were newly in love, we were to cycle to the railway station to catch the train to Amsterdam...we were a bit worried about leaving the bikes since she didnt have a functioning cycle lock. So we borrowed a good lock and chain. When we arrived back later that evening, the bikes were safe and sound, but somebody had nicked the lock and chain.

Locked car?

Nowhere in 'Merica do they worry about car locking. Do you have to lock your motorcycle? What about a small MG type car with no top? Hell I don't lock my house! Neighbors say, "You Don't"? My reply is, so I can come home to a robbed house AND a broken window/door?

Locked Cars

Funny stories and more than a thread of irony and truth in all of them. When I first got out of college and started working.. I bought my first new car (truck really).. I stripped down cheap thing, I think I paid $7,500 for it. ..but I got a hold of this really high end Alpine stereo and bought some good speakers, so for a cheap truck, it rocked. fast forward a few years and me and Ms. JimInMD bought a little townhouse together. One February morning I wake up to go to work and y window was smashed and my Alpine gone.

So I get a new one through insurance. ff to one cold morning the very next February, window smashed, alpine gone. So I get a new one that with a removable faceplate this time and religiously remove the faceplate. ff to the next February, windows smashed, stereo gone even though it had a removable faceplate. I gave up and didn't replace this one. ff to the very next February they broke into the same truck even though I had never replaced the stereo.. those fluckers still took the time to steal my Alpine speakers. So now I am convinced this was an organized ring with a schedule and circuit.

By now I've grown weary of driving to work in the middle of each February with a broken window sitting on a pile of glass.. so I buy a $29 Kracko am/fm stereo and get some free cheap speakers from somewhere and give up on high fidelity to and from work all together.

ff the next February, the same fluckers break the window anyway and find nothing to steal at all. Eventually I bought a new truck, sold my house and moved. Parted ways with Ms. JimInMD at some point too. Perhaps it was her (kidding).

I have grown to see the wisdom in what Dennis wrote. The best story so far is the one where they stole the chain. Honestly, I'd like to party with that type of criminal, ones with less ill-will, but a wicked sense of humor.

Wondering...

I'm wondering what my box set did between March 31st and April 23rd?
I do hope the package will get over the pond this time. I have a feeling it will but I'm not hundred percent sure.

This is how it has been travelin so far:

Sounds like your Box went for a ride on one of Elon Musk’s rockets.
Sorry to hear.
Someone from Germany posted about their Box on another board, here’s the link. Hopefully your Box is on its way to you.

The box has nowhere else to go. It has to get there. Sent you a PM.

Winterland/ broken in cars

I remember coming out of Winterland after a show and seeing lots and lots of cars with broken windows, that had been broken into. When we went up there in Oct. of 78,my brother just left his windows down in the car and we had no problem.

Stolen chain

old line about, they'd steal anything, even it was nail down...…. and the nails.

Re: Dennis

Are you saying it was you?

We knew it was you.. all along.. Glad we settled that. Onweird. :D

I never broke into cars....

....but I did catch the desert on fire when I was fourteen. Yeah. Its possible if you put your mind to it.

Around the world in 80 days (or so)

Mine seems to be in Brussels.

Or 30 Trips Around The Sun

Brussels? Getting closer, G.

vguy's desert flame

Firebug here for sure. Set my brothers closet on fire at about 7-8. No major damage?! I remember we kept a small plastic cup in the bathroom and I ran downstairs to get. Coming out of bathroom with cup and mom still asleepish in bed, ask about the cup. And I was like just a small fire in Lewis' closet. Like a cartoon character, up jumps mom, "A SMALL FIRE IN LEWIS' ROOM". Great response time from volunteer fire company. Closet contents gone, mattress water logged, window busted, furniture drenched. Fireman became big man squeezing confession from 7 year old. "We found these in the closet" and holds up a book of brand A matches. I was like, "no, they were A&P matches, he's lying". Hoisted by my own petard.

Usually about once a year, we'd set the "weeds" on fire. "Weeds" for the younger among us, are what kids from Jersey call the plants the grow in the wetlands. They have fuzzy cattails, "punks" and grow about 7 feet tall. Burn like a bitch when ignited before getting green again!

So, no, you don't have to try too hard.

Oh, and just about every "fort" we made ended up burning!

Ha!

You wouldn't think that little angel to the left could burn his brother's closet, could you?

Dennis

We would take cattails when they were still brown, before they got fluffy, and soak them in gas then light and use them as torches.

Also would take Ohio Blue Tip matches and a squirt bottle of WD-40 to make a flame thrower.

Cattail torches

We did that also, we didn't add an accelerant and they didn't burn to long. We had a big storm drain that came out on the beach and we duck walk down it.

Probably why I love "The City Sleeps", by MC 900FT Jesus. Only song I know about an arsonist.

…. I light the fires while the city sleeps.

Storm drain outlets

We ventured into those too.
Then the city started welding a rebar cage over the opening to keep people out.

When you use cattails that haven’t yet bloomed they will hold gas for a while. We would leave a stem on them and throw them.

I used to partially melt my plastic army men in our fireplace...

....and make a zombie army!

Here’s a good one

That red wax that covers cheese gets soft and sticky when warmed up. Small pieces of that wax can be used to adhere firecrackers on objects.

Just saying.....

Ha..

Zombie Army.

Sticky Wax on Firecrackers. Reminds me of a really good bear story. ..

Post Nord

According to Post Nord my box has still not yet arrved in Sweden, left Brussels 29 april, no update since then.

Post D

...all boxes arrived in Germany?

arrival of the box

not really, sorry.

Post Nord

Then the packages to Sweden has come longer than the ones to Norway (probably some EU-related stuff). Mine left (for the 4th time or so) "an international carrier", this time from NY, JFK on may 2nd.

Not delivered to Finland so far

I've been waiting and waiting, but the 76 box is not delivered to Finland either. How do you know anything concerning the route for the delivery? I thought no tracking number, no information.

Franconia beergardens will open May, 18..

...and I sure will be there!
The '76 box will be a fantastic 'Help On The Way' for the 2 h ride to the Kellers.
G.

Tracking number international

You will find a long number on the right hand side on the email that says "order on the way" from dead.net.
Track that number on ups and you will get a status plus a different tracking number for usps or other. They have sent it via mail innovations for ups. That it basically a system where a lot distributors are makin som money moving the packages around until it is being handed over to a european public post.system and delivered the old-fashioned way.

I haven‘t received mine in…

I haven‘t received mine in Switzerland, yet. On the UPS tracking site, it says that the package has left the transporter - since Apr-2! The message gets updated every few days, but does not change, last entry from Apr-26. Hope I‘ll get it soon.

Unbelievable Box. Band…

Unbelievable Box. Band never lets me down. Through the keyhole on this one!

No box here yet ...

As with other Swedish recipients (I guess) this is the last tracking result:

"Your item departed a transfer airport in BRUSSELS, BELGIUM on April 29, 2020 at 9:10 am. The item is currently in transit to the destination."

The Swedish Postal Service don't recognize the tracking number yet. Well, hopefully the package isn't all smashed up in the mail when it finally arrives ...

@icecreamkid - adventuring the storm drains at Umass in Amherst

There use to be a rite in the fall at my college where you'd set off to travel the tunnels at Univ of MA in Amherst which were the drainage runoff. The tunnels led you to a room with a ladder that acended upwards - when you popped the manhole cover you wound up in a utility closet in the parking garage at the Campus Center complex.

Hadn't thought about those adventures in years...

Box Arrived

Hi
Box just arrived on first unlock day, in France, after a 55 quarentine. It is a beautiful box and I began by the end listening to Passaic. Thank you everybody at Deadnet.

Sheikyerbones - Arrival

glad to hear, very good, enjoy!
How about deliveries to Sweden and Germany, any progress?
Having a Weiherer Kellerbier right now. Beer is good, but weather is indecent, just a bit over freezing temperatures.
Cold and rain, but no snow (yet).
Looking forward for May 18.
Cheers G.

Sweden

No Gerd, nothing since 29 april when it was in Brussels. My tracking is identical to Deadmike. I am begining to lose hope.

Gratefulgerd

thanks, it worth waiting a bit. Everyone knows why it has been a long delivery...Very noticeable, I paid no customer tax. The art is OK, not so fine as GSTLight or May 77.The booklet is not so fragile as said in the first comments. After 2 shows I feel it 's a bit like May 77, nearly the same set list, one week (a bit more with Passaic) in the touring life of GD, good sound quality, consistant playing, and moments of grace shown in the listening party before shipping.
Hope everyone of you, in Sweeden, Finland and Germany hear the postman ring twice soon.

Relieved in France

Relieved to report that another ‘76 box has at last been delivered to France and I’m eager to begin listening to it.

Well, some have mentioned that the booklet is spineless. Have we determined that this is how it was designed?

Peace and health.

Night owl

Yes, intended design, it will be flat when open.

Glad your Boxes are showing up in Europe, now set your clocks for DaP 34.

My clock seems to have stopped.

My Dave's 34 seems to be in limbo. Last tracking info from UPS and USPS states:

Your item was processed through our LOS ANGELES CA INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTION CENTER facility on May 1, 2020 at 11:09 pm. The item is currently in transit to the destination.

That was almost 2 weeks ago. Waiting for a plane?

Ice Cream

Thank you, my friend. It’s as it’s meant to be.

Now on to enjoying the excellent playing.

simonrob: Almost the same here ...

At 11.04 pm on May 1st my package arrived at regional facility in Los Angeles. Then nothing.

Micke Östlund,
Växjö, Sweden

TrackingMicke/ Simonrob

I am not even bothering to check tracking for Daves, nothing has happened on my 76 box since 29 april when it supposedly left Brussels. It has not even arrived in Sweden yet , Post Nord still unable to recognise the tracking...Micke will recognise that even when arrives in Sweden, it might take weeks before somebody gets round to presenting it for customs clearance, so not so much set your clocks as set your yearly alamanac!
perhaps for 2022?
Really ironic considering that Sweden is one of the few countries not to have closed down for this horrible virus.

Referring to Daves

I got an email this morning to say mine will be delivered tomorrow. Its in Milan at the moment. Sounds hopeful...but who knows?

Milan...

If your package spent any time in the vicinity of Milan, I would handle it with extreme caution. Full PPE recommended. But WTF is it doing there? Even at the best of times, Milan to your residence in England in one day would be an impressive achievement. Can but hope.

How is post sent to Scandinavia from Brussels? By road? Belgium has closed its land borders which could slow things down somewhat. If mail is sent by air, this is also experiencing delays as mail is often sent on passenger flights and there aren't too many of them right now.

Simonrob

I was also going to rain on Daverocks parade when he said it was in Milan! But if he leaves it alone till we all have received ours, it should be safe to handle...
Neither I, nor Postnord customer service, can answer how post would move from Brussels to Sweden, nor what it was doing there in the first place. I suppose the virus meant that it was put on any avåilable plane to Europe....

DaP #34

I am in the same boat as most here. UPS and USPS tell me it left Los Angeles on 1st May and then it all goes quiet. The Royal Mail tracking says that there is no tracking for this service when presented with the alternate delivery number. On the other hand #33 took around 12 days before I saw a VAT payment request so it is only a few days more than that so far and the world has changed a bit since February. Keep hoping and stay safe.

Edit:
I’ve had a couple of deliveries from amazon that came from Milan and then travelled overland through France to me and I’m not dead yet.

Blimey

You're making me nervous. I am actually quite cautious with post at the moment, but I will handle this one like a hot potato.
I think my Dave's must have been in Milan a day or so ago, as I've just checked again, and Milan is no longer mentioned. It was in Torino on 12/5 and is now in somewhere called Stanford Le Hope, which I have never heard of-but apparently its in the UK. It seems to be heading in my general direction.

Stanford-Le-Hope...

Appears to be a small village between Grays and Basildon. Middle of nowhere. Weird place for anything to be. Fairly close to you.
