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.

Better Call Saul

Also a fantastic show, also a story of Jimmy's evolution into Saul, step by step choice by choice. I would argue that as Saul has progressed Jimmy has become more true to his own inner self, but I am a season behind - I watch things on disc. And yes, Jim, that is a great scene with Ken getting duped in the bar by "Viktor" and "Giselle". Did you remember that Ken was in Breaking Bad? He was the obnoxious dude on his bluetooth in line in front of Walt at the bank, and later when Walt encountered him at the gas station, I think driving a BMW with a "KENWINS" license plate, Walt makes a few adjustments and sets his car on fire. Also, that bar scene turned me on to The Supreme Beings of Leisure, their tune Golddigger was playing in the background in the bar at some point as a I recall. Catchy tune and once I saw the band name I was intrigued. Who wouldn't like being a Supreme Being of Leisure, right? Different but sort of smooth and cool stuff. But I digress...

Re:

What Charlie said. Amazing recap, good job.

I was working late one night channel surfing just to have some ambient noise and I happened to dial into the beginning of the very first episode. That's all it took, I was hooked and watched it whenever I could until it ended. I recently got (almost) caught up on Better Call Saul and am just starting the new season, I enjoy it too.. not quite as dark and more whimsical. Educational too, for example, never make a bet or initiate a financial commitment to someone you have never met while getting drunk at bar. Just sayin'

I somewhat recently discovered Silicon Valley, which recently ended.. but that's quite funny and makes for good binge watching. If you like dark humor, Barry is good.. if you don't mind mocking mega rich televangelists, the Righteous Gemstones is out there and really funny. I recently got into Narcos Mexico on Netflix. If you were around that year Mexican weed suddenly got really, really good.. it does a great job of telling explaining how that came to be and who was responsible. I am just getting to the El Chapo part in season 2. Tunnels.. crafty smuggler.. they just found a big one and $30M in drugs yesterday, bet chapo is rolling over in his 8X10 prison cell thinking about it.

That's all I got. Oh.. and man, that June 76 box is a great way to soften the stay at home blues.

Breaking Bad

The story is at it's core a tale of Walt's evolution. The cancer and need to make money to leave for his family was not the plot, but a triggering event to allow the plot to proceed, i.e to start Walt on his evolution from downtrodden schmuck to a man recognized far and wide for his genius as a chemist and awe inspiring power.

At the start of the story we see Walt treated as a schmuck by his brother in law at his 50th birthday party, with Hank mocking his perception of the weight of the gun and giving a sense of his perception of Walt as somehow lesser than. We see his wife Skylar feeling like she is giving Walt a great birthday gift as she absent-mindedly gives him a handjob as she tracks her ebay auction. We learn that Walt's chemistry genius was instrumental in the formation of an immensely profitable company, but that Walt does not seem to get credit or reward for this, having left the company early after it's founding due to personal issues with the other founding members. In short, Walt appears to be a schmuck and treated as such by those around him. As the story progresses we see Walt make innumerable moral choices as the story progresses - killing in self defense, killing in defense of Jesse, not intervening to save Jane...the list goes on and each decision has moral consequences. In his actions to provide financial security for his family, Walt discovers his true self and begins to be true to himself, often without regard for the consequences to others.

We see this evolution start early on when Walt deals with Tuco. We see it when Walt begins to take pride in his product instead of just seeing it as a means to an end. We see it when Walt spots the tweakers buying everything for a cook at a single store - inside the store Walt offers tips about spreading out the purchases and then we see him reach a realization of some sort and he confronts the tweakers in the parking lot and threatens them and informs them that they are on his territory. We see Walt gain the recognition as a genius chemist that he always felt was his due, but which had previously eluded him. We see that this credit is so important to Walt that when Hank believes that Gale was Heisenberg Walt can not help but suggest to Hank that Gale was a mere lab tech, not the chemist responsible for the production of the blue meth, even though it puts Walt at greater risk of discovery. We see Walt become Walt. We see it when he tells Skylar "I am the one who knocks." He knows he has done evil things as evidenced when he tells Jesse "All the people we've killed - Gale and the rest? If you believe there's a hell- I don't know if you're into that, but we're - we're already pretty much going there, right? But I'm not going to lie down until I get there", but he is clear that he will continue to be true to himself. Ultimately Walt returns to New Mexico and rescues Jesse due to his anger that someone else is manufacturing his product.

This whole show is a brilliant morality tale with the evolution of Walt serving as the vehicle, each step of the story placing Walt in a position where he is forced to make ever more significant moral choices. And each step of the way Walt becomes more Walt. His evolution is the story.

Breaking Bad

My wife and I were constantly told to watch it, so we finally started it a few years ago, but were surprised to see that there are 62 episodes. We thought, "Sounds like a great concept for fifteen hours of t.v.," but we couldn't imagine being interested past that. We were enthralled by it for . . . about fifteen episodes or so, and then the initial plot is kind of played out. We watched a few more, but [spoiler alert!!] once Walt's cancer was gone and he had $1M, we weren't sure why we would keep watching.

Should we be going back and trying to get through the forty episodes we didn't watch?

Buffy the Vampire Slayer--so good. After that try Veronica Mars and Firefly, if you haven't already seen those.

If you want to get a great telling of the Russian Revolution check out Trotsky's: History of the Russian Revolution.

It's a tome, but gives an insider's view (obviously) about what went down, written by the man himself. It doesn't get into a lot (if any?) of his personal history; an autobiography about being murdered with an ice axe in Mexico City would be a tough feat to pull off. But if you're into the politics and the feeling of being in Russia around 1917 you cant beat it.

The Closing of Winterland 12/31/78 (The Blues Brothers)

Very interesting, had no idea this footage existed...below is the full set of "The Blues Brothers" opening this epic NYE celebration. Every once in a while you can even the "Steal your face logo" hidden behind the band.

I believe the tour was quite short, basically going right from SNL Skit, to a nine-night run at Universal Amphitheater, CA opening for Steve Martin (remember the Let's Get Small album?) then back to SNL later in the year for another skit, then off to the Closing of Winterland show!! Akroyd and Belushi must have had a ton of confidence in their new band to step up to open for the Dead, and The New Riders.....

--"With the help of pianist-arranger Paul Shaffer, Belushi and Aykroyd started assembling a collection of studio talents to form their own band. These included SNL band members saxophonist "Blue" Lou Marini and trombonist-saxophonist Tom Malone, who had previously played in Blood, Sweat & Tears. At Shaffer's suggestion guitarist Steve Cropper and bassist Donald "Duck" Dunn, the powerhouse combo from Booker T and the M.G.'s and subsequently almost every hit out of Memphis' Stax Records during the 1960s, were signed as well. Belushi wanted a powerful trumpet player and a hot blues guitarist, so Juilliard-trained trumpeter Alan Rubin was brought in, as was guitarist Matt "Guitar" Murphy, who had performed with many blues legends."

There is some really good shit here....Matt "Guitar" Murphy just killing it....and don't forget, "They're on a mission from God"...........Enjoy

Saul vs Walt

For me, I choose Saul over BBad because I was about to give up on BBad when the episode Better Call Saul happened. Bob Odenkirk burst onto the show and added a comedic element that was absent and made the show far too dark. And I like dark shows. Walt and Jesse both annoy me, Walt because he always chooses the wrong choice, Jesse because his character is annoying for 5 seasons. But Saul and Mike and Gus Fring really shook the whole show up for me. And Better Call Saul has been extremely surprising as it goes along, this season, his ride with Nacho to see Lalo turned the entire premise upside down, because events brought Saul down, not his inner character.

The Wire, I think, is the greatest show ever made. I loved season 2, season 5 was my least favorite. I felt that went a little far, especially McNulty. Somehow Better Call Saul and The Wire have combined for 0 Emmys. Some of the greatest acting and writing on the small screen. Also, the black comedy of The Wire is just gold. Like the scene where Jimmy and Bunk survey a murder scene, and the only word they say throughout the scene is variations of "Fuck". Nice to see love for The Wire here, and really anywhere.

Last 5 watched: Trotsky a Netflix docuseries in Russian that was very enlightening and now I wanna read a bio of him to get an idea of how true it was. Amazing life.

Undone an amazing animated series on Amazon featuring Bob Odenkirk as a time traveling dead father who may or may not be a figment of his schizophrenic daughter's imagination. Very trippy, and makes you think.

Jacob from the TNT Bible Stories DVD collection, they came on 25 years ago, starring big actors, this one was okay. Matthew Modine as Jacob, Sean Bean as My Brother Esau.

Abraham also from that series, starring Richard Harris and Barbara Hershey, Richard Harris overacts a bit, but he always did a little bit. Ben Kingsley as Moses is on the horizon once the wife and I watch Joseph which features Kingsley as Pharoah.

Kidding first season, Jim Carr's Showtime show where he plays a Mr Rogers type of character with pent up rage issues and is unraveling following the death of one of his twin sons. Catherine Keener, Frank Langella, and Judy Greer co-star. This was really funny and very different.

Stanford Le Hope

I think that is where the carrier pigeons hand off the package.

Night Owl

The Book is spineless by design; the music is anything but, though!

Cousins of the...

Hey, Cousins, thanks for your confirmation.

And yes, the playing is all it’s supposed to be.

Peace.

Right place ...Wrong box

Sorry about this folks...my parcel arrived from Stanford Le Hope this morning, and its The Speciality Sessions by Little Richard. I'd forgotten about that one. After his sad passing last weekend, I played my various cds and albums, and decided it was time for an update. For a box, in fact. After consultation on the Steve Hoffman Forum, I realised the 3 or 6 disc Speciality Sessions was the way to go, and set about scouring the world for a copy. Having done this I settled on the 3cd version from a guy in Italy.
But nobody grieves for ever, and I forgot all about it. The reminder of my folly arrived this morning-unopened and propped up in the next room where it will hopefully defumigate itself before I slit it open and examine what's inside. I am sure it will be suitably volcanic...and I now know where Stanford Le Hope is.

Daverock & Little Richard

Ok, you made me look up those two box sets. I wondered how much of price jump they had after he died. But used cd sets are 200 bucks on Amazon. Odd thing is 3 or 6 cd is the same price?

My wife came up to work with coffee in her hand while I had Amazon opened. You would have thought it was a pornhub video of me and her sister I closed it so fast :-)

2003, 2004, & 2009 Tours

I'm looking to fill some gaps in my collection. I have a few of the official downloads/CDs that they released way back when but they are no longer available.

Anyone out there looking to trade some shows? I have a pretty deep collection of Dead/Phish/Panic/Mule/Cheese/Etc.

Google Drive works great!

DM me.

Little Richard

Dennis - the 6cd set was at least twice the price of the 3cd set wherever I looked - which didn't include America. I have been told the sound quality is the same on both, the accompanying book is the same, and that the 3cd set is more satisfying to listen to. The other one has numerous versions of the same song, one bang after another. Which might be a bit much - maybe, maybe not.

CJ & the Fish

Hey Stoltzfus, if you collect vinyl, I recommend "The Wave of Electrical Sound"; has the first 2 LPs, each in mono and stereo version, a dvd, poster, the Fish game, calendar and a coupla' cool booklets. Heavy vinyl, thick cardboard covers and great sound.

Finally - June'76

After over 2 months on a corona-trip across the entire US and parts of Europe the box finally arrived in Oslo, Norway.

Great news

Finally a box in Scandinavia. Today a Norwegian, maybe tomorrow Swedes then finally Turnips.

Congrats Ckjellsen!

I checked yesterday and at that time there was no message at Postnord. The box is still on it's way from Brussels.

My DP34 left Los Angeles on May 1st and eventually arrived in Denver. It left Denver and arrived in Chicago on May 18th. It didn't say how it got over the Rockies. Maybe by stagecoach on some old forgotten trail? ;-)

Well, these are difficult times. Hopefully I'll get both of them before the end of June. :-)

Scandinavia

My eagle has just landed, a few feathers bent after its long flight,
Deadmicke, my tracking never worked for Post nord but it did work for Postnord moms payment, try there.
The parcel was just stuffed into my postbox today, didnt have to collect it from my normal place, bit bent but now past caring, first cd sounds fine.

Call any vegetable

Simonrob, no turnips but it has been languishing in Brussels (buried under the sprouts?)since april 29.

Call Any Vegetable

sounds very familiar. Another hero!!!
Dogon, good to hear, your box made it.
Deadmike, I won't say anything bad about Belgium.
We had an office there and I traveled frequently to Brussels and Antwerp.
Made a lot of experience!!! Things go at a different pace.
But I'm still positive, you'll get your copy.

Pacific Northwest

Anyone waiting on the '73-'74 Pacific Northwest box for price reasons: Rhino has a sale on it.

Betty Cantor-Jackson....

....is doing an Ask Me Anything tomorrow on Reddit. 7PM pacific time.

Thats it (for this one) Ive had enough

After more than 50 years Im off the bus, sick of all the snafus associated with ordering, not all the fault of Dead Net/Rhino, but enough is enough.
My 1976 dissapeared into the Brussels Bermuda triangle for 3 weeks, arriving in less than pristine condition, now see that my Dave subs, which again arrived in Brussels on 19 May, is out for delivery......in Richmond Texas!!!!

Off the bus-Dogon

Maybe its Deadnet/Rhino/UPS who are off the bus, not you.

Daverock and bus spotting

Dave, it might be that there is a glitch in the tracking, had another look just now,The reference to Texas has gone but it seems that my Daves has also touched down in Shenzen(?) and Frankfurt since leaving Brussels....Around the world in 80 daves?

Shenzen

That would be Shenzen, Westfalia of course.

Shenzen, Westfalia

on the other side of nowhere?
Good Luck

Wow

Gerd, are you getting paid per post?

Simonrob

sorry, I don't know what I did.
No beer yet (Biergarten is scheduled for tomorrow).
Maybe some Shenzen Virus.
Do You know if I can delete my double doubles myself?

No.

I don't think it is possible to delete double or multiple posts. Many have tried, but without success.

Beer tomorrow sounds good to me.

Dogon, bad luck about your DP34

My copy left Chicago on May 22nd and I don't know where it is now.

I've got a letter from Postnord about paying the taxes for the box set and I have done so last Wednesday. The package isn't searchable since then but hopefully it will get to me this week. Hopefully in a state I can accept because I do not wish to send it back.

Around the world in 80 Daves

Micke, tracking has reverted to sent from Brussels, all references to Texas, Shenzen and Frankfurt are now expunged, so wait and see.
Postnord were never able to track the 76 box, so you will be OK sometime this week I guess.
Incidently just got a package of cds from Japan, sent by Yamato cos the Japan post is not sending to Europe nor anywhere else for that matter, door to door, may 20 till today, fully trackable the whole way, delivered to my door by UPS , Quicker and cheaper than the normal Nippon/post/Nord axis....

gratefulgerd

consulting the high authority of dead heads you are sentence either for drinking a beer for each post, either doing the crane (one foot) with all the boxsets in your arms while listening the europe 72 complete shows...

or hey

if you want I can remove the duplicates. Just lemme know. In the old days this happened ALL THE TIME. No worries.

MARYE

Please remove if you can. Don't know what went wrong. Definetly no beer involved when I posted.
Had my Biergarten fun today.
Sorry for whatever it caused,
Thanks
Gerd

Sheikyerbones

Hey Man,
no beer, no French wine either. Just happened.
I'm sure I did something wrong but I don't know what.
Just listened to a couple of my favoured Scarlet....incredible!!!!!
Good luck, stay safe!
Gerd

Biergarten fun...

Gerd, how was your trip to the biergarten? Compulsory facemasks? That could seriously affect performance. If you are unable to remember what happened we will understand.

Good Morning Simonrob,

it was a bit strange. All the facemasks around, except at the tables. Max. 4 to be allowed sitting together, with a distance of 1,5 m and only every other table can be occupied. A bit of a hospital atmosphere. But luckily steins were big enough not to see most of it. Beer was good as ever!
Alles Gute, Gerd

Beer was good as ever!

That is all we really need to know. It does sound a bit strange, though and lacking in atmosphere. Everything is a bit strange in these strange times. The small town where I live has an annual Stadsfeest by the harbour on the first weekend in October. That has already been cancelled. A bit premature, maybe, but that is how it is these days.

OK

Duplicate posts removed, back to the biergarten...

good evening GratefulGerd

I have to look for this biertgarten; I recently drank a berliner with sirup of melon, to hide bitterness, here we have Leffe, Jeanlin, but the best comes from Belgium, Nederland & Germany. Iam going on with the june boxset and disc13 is at the top of it, each nine tracks are played at high level, and then it goes on with the best PITB of the box...
for Scarlet I always have fond memory of Dicks picks from 81 and these terrible hidden tracks...

Marye, Thank You

I will, tomorrow
G.

Finally ...

The "eagle" has landed and the package is in my care since yesterday May 28th. Apart from some minor marks in the corners of the box, everything seemed to be in order. But I must say it was a "funny" spine of the "book".

Well, I'm happy with not having to send it all back ... ;-)

Micke Östlund,
Växjö Sweden

Finally - What A Long Strange Trip.....

Good to hear, enjoy!
G.

Enjoy Micke

Was this the last missing in action box?

Still waiting?

Jpkamari in Finland may still be waiting.

Missing 76 Box set

My box set, apparently posted 24 March has not landed in Manchester UK. I did ask Customer service if they could try and find out where it might be as the tracker doesn’t seem to work. I got a standard reply, but no more news. Has anybody in the UK received their delivery? Mary E can you help?

76 box

sooooo good

thank you PTB

To all you who are "still waiting (I-I-I'm stiiill waiting...)": may your delivery happen tomorrow

Simon1 and missing boxset

Simon1, my tracking on the box and DaP 34 from UPS were very unhelpful, I too questioned UPS as to the whereabouts of my box set with their online robot chat, in the box hidden behind that useless pop-up screen there is another tracking number that is not recognised by Royal Mail, or Parcel Force but it is indeed a confirmation that it should be in the UK.
All I can suggest is that you log into Royal Mail tracking and "pay a customs fee site "to see if they are awaiting payment from you, they usually send a card with a demand for monies, UPS just fob you off with contact the seller, it's a sellers issue and not our problem.
Good luck, I hope it is with you soon.

June 76 box

Good morning Heads! What do YOU think of the June 76 box? I’ve been on the fence to order or not to order since it was announced. I’ve gotten through quarantine In a beautiful way relistening to April 72 and May 72/77. It was fun to go back through and geek over all those truly incredible May 77 shows again. Now I’m on to June 77 Winterland. Anyhow, I always appreciate when you all mention a show I’ve not listened to in a long time and remind me to revisit them. I wholeheartedly recommend Revisiting any any and all May 77 and May 72 shows. Thank you for your thoughts on June 76. Have a grateful day!

June 76 box.

Immaculate. Essential. Get it.

76 box - TLEO77

I woofed up the 72 and 77 boxes that you mention, but decided not to go for this one. I am hoping that a single show from the box will come out on vinyl at some point. Its happened with recent boxes -May 74, Saint of Circumstance, 5/8/77 with 5/9/77 to follow-so it seems likely. Although I haven't seen anything official to say this will happen.
Maybe I should say that living in Britain, there are additional problems regarding delivery and paying customs that put me off a bit. The single shows on vinyl listed above have all been distributed from within Europe.

Yes, those April/May 72 and May/June 77 shows are amazing. Plenty of great shows in Mays 1970 and 1974, too.

seems like a lot of repeats

...But, then again which box doesn't have a lot of repeats? :-P The caliber of performance is top form '76 vintage dead, probably not best of versions of anything (maybe Mission In The Rain because it was rarely played), but all well rehearsed and tight in the deadest sense of the word. I'd say if you can handle bicentennial dead and you have the scratch, get it and if later you find you no longer need it, pass it on to a friend (BEFORE disc rot sets in LOL :-)
