Steamboats and BBQ, ice cream cones and Mardi Gras - are you ready to laissez les bons temps rouler with the "gateway" to the Grateful Dead? Meet us, won't you, in St. Louis for seven complete and previously unreleased Dead concerts that capture the heart of the band's affinity for the River City.

LISTEN TO THE RIVER: ST. LOUIS ’71 ’72 ’73 is a 20CD set featuring five shows from the Fox Theatre - December 9 and 10, 1971; October 17-19, 1972; and two from the Kiel Auditorium - October 29 and 30, 1973.

The seven shows in the collection span slightly less than two years, but they represent some of the best shows the Grateful Dead played during some of its peak tours. The music tells the story of a band evolving, changing from one sound to another seamlessly, precipitated – in large part – by significant personnel changes in the Dead’s lineup.

The two 1971 shows feature the original Grateful Dead lineup plus newcomer Keith Godchaux on piano. This version of the band would hold together for the next six months as the Dead embarked upon its Europe ’72 tour. By the time the Dead returned to the Fox Theatre less than a year later, they were without Pigpen, who’d played his final show with the Dead at the Hollywood Bowl on June 17, 1972. A year after the exceptional Fox 1972 shows, the Dead came back to St. Louis, but played the much larger Kiel Auditorium, touring behind the release of WAKE OF THE FLOOD, which came out just two weeks before.

All told, the band played 60 different songs during these shows highlighted by blazing romps through “Beat It On Down The Line” and “One More Saturday Night” and wistful takes on “Row Jimmy” and “Brokedown Palace” (whose lyrics give the collection its name). Meanwhile, the copious jamming ebbed and flowed like the mighty Mississippi River on multiple voyages through “The Other One” and “Dark Star.” Naturally, the band paid tribute to one of its favorite rock and rollers and one of St. Louis’ biggest stars by playing Chuck Berry songs at every show in the collection, including Pigpen galloping through “Run Rudolph Run.”

Each show has been restored and speed corrected using Plangent Processes with mastering by Jeffrey Norman. The collection comes in a slipcase with artwork by Liane Plant and features an 84-page hardbound book as well as other Dead surprises. To set the stage for the music, the liner notes provide several essays about the shows, including one by Sam Cutler, the band’s tour manager during that era, and another by Grateful Dead scholar Nicholas G. Meriwether, among others.

Due October 1st, LISTEN TO THE RIVER: ST. LOUIS ’71 ’72 ’73, is limited to 13,000 individually numbered copies and available exclusively from Dead.net.

Men must live and create, live to the point of tears……..

Yo!! Rockers!!!

In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer…..

Dear friends, my work here is done. Mission accomplished. I have carried the torch of 1971 live Dead for a long time, and will continue to do so. But now it will be in the background, lurking, watching, and continuing to listen. In order to understand the world, one has to turn away from it on occasion. It is normal to give away a little of one's life in order not to lose it all. Perhaps a return to normalcy. Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal…..

I made it through the 50th anniversary year relatively unscathed. This really isn’t the best forum for detailed analyses of every show, but every show did get its due. To all, enjoy the wonderful music that the Dead left us that year………….

I’ve tried to acknowledge everybody I encountered during my long strange trip here. If I left you out, sincere apologies and no offense intended….

I will continue to be a resource for all those interested in the music of the Grateful Dead in 1971. Or any other year. Or any other band, because, after all, no one can live on Grateful Dead alone. Believe me, I’ve tried! No limits, no restrictions, no questions asked. I’m just a pm away. Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present. Your successes and happiness are forgiven you only if you generously consent to share them.

There is a life and there is a death, and there are beauty and melancholy between. Thinking is learning all over again how to see, directing one's consciousness, making of every image a privileged place.

I look forward to lurker mode. For anybody who needs or wants some light reading material about 1971 Dead shows, you know where to find me…….

Since the day of my birth, my death began its walk. It is walking toward me, without hurrying…..

Rock on!!!

Doc
This man is freed from servile bands,
Of hope to rise, or fear to fall,
Lord of himself, though not of lands,
And leaving nothing, yet hath all.

Occasionally psychedelic

What surprised me about The Dead when I first started listening to them is that they are only occasionally psychedelic. As I have written before, they came to my attention through the English music press saying bands like Hawkwind and Gong were British or, in Gong's case "Franglaise" versions of The Dead. Both Gong and Hawkwind-certainly at that time, the early - mid 70's, seemed to live in "the zone". From the moment they appeared on stage to the moment they shambled off it they tripped the light fantastic. So it was quite a surprise to hear a band they were being compared to trot out versions of Chuck Berry, Hank Williams etc, songs. That isn't a put down of The Dead - they have endured for me - but they weren't quite the band I thought they'd be when I eventually heard them.

Thanks again, Doc

There couldn't be anyone on this forum who hasn't benefited from the good Doc's yeoman efforts to elucidate the nuances of 1971 and, therefore, a major transition period in the band's history. Thanks Doc!

Now to pile on a specific point: the business of whether a show is a success based on the presence or absence of "big jams." Let's be clear: no first set, no jammy second set. The first sets up the second, both in terms of warming up the players to begin to expand their sensibilities, and in clearly, concisely articulating melodic songs that provide the textures for weaving later in the evening. That's when there is a "big jam." But, I think, folks miss the point that this band isn't your favorite orgasma-tron, there for launching everytime you buy a ticket or plug it in. These guys are/were human and rooted in structured music, which enabled them to stretch out when the mood hits them. Yes, they are rightly renowned for the "big jam," and went for it frequently. But a show without a big jam is still a triumph of well-played rock 'n roll and I caught a few. One in which we counted more than 30 songs played. All played balls to the walls with plenty of soloing, etc.

I could change my name from Hendrixfreak to Mr. Big Jam and it would ring true. But my (overwrought) point is that it's ridiculous to judge a show based on whether the orgasma-tron got plugged in or not. For criminy's sake, enjoy what the band plays. (Unless it's Pigpen doing 'Hey Jude'.....)

The music is the message……

50 years ago today......

January 2, 1972
Winterland, San Francisco, California

Set 1: Truckin'-Sugaree-Mr. Charlie-Beat it on Down the Line-Loser-Jack Straw-Chinatown Shuffle-Tennessee Jed-El Paso-You Win Again-Big Railroad Blues-Mexicali Blues-Playing in the Band-Next Time You See Me-Brown Eyed Women-Casey Jones

Set 2: Good Lovin'>China Cat Sunflower>Good Lovin'-Ramble On Rose-Sugar Magnolia-Not Fade Away>Goin' Down the Road Feeling Bad>Not Fade Away

Encore: One More Saturday Night

Deadicated to Charlie Knutson, because was there ever in anyone's life span a point free in time, devoid of memory, a night when choice was any more than the sum of all the choices gone before?

OK, calenderically speaking 1972, but very much “of a kind” with the December 1971 shows.

Let’s clear up a couple of things. First, in the first set, there’s no “Leave Your Love At Home” between Chinatown Shuffle and Tennessee Jed. Second, in the second set, there’s no Know You Rider following China Cat, the band definitely goes back into Good Lovin.

Though not quite as intense as December, it does have a decent dose of Pigpen, and the rare, possibly unique Good Lovin’/China Cat Sunflower/Good Lovin’ sequence. Another rarity----in the first set, two consecutive Garcia songs followed by two consecutive Weir songs. The show is generally well played, but opinions of it seem divided. Many absolutely love it, while others find it lacking because there’s no “big jams”. Decide for yourself, there is a Miller remaster and it definitely worth having…..

Questioning the origin of music is like asking why the breeze is soothing, why you shiver in exhilaration when the spray from the waterfall hits you….

Rock on!!

Thanks, Doc!

Doc, Thank you very much for your deadication to 1971. Many years ago, my collection of live Dead consisted of "Live/Dead" 2WS-1830, the 2 LP set; "self-titled" or "Skullfuck" 2WS-1835, the 2 LP set; and "Europe '72" 3WX-2668, the 3 LP set. Skullfuck seemed to be the best ticket for my entry into my understanding of the Grateful Dead and it still does. 1971 holds a special place in my heart and mind in so many different ways.
It is now the dawning hours of 2022 and "playing" the 50th-anniversary "game", 1972 comes into play and we will have many great Grateful Dead shows and that "Europe '72" 50th-anniversary thingy to commemorate. In 2011 the "Europe '72: The Complete Recordings" was issued.

Again, thanks for re-jogging my interest in '71 Dead!

CD Case Size?

hello, i'm sure this has been brought up before, but does anyone know if the CD cases for this box set will be standard size or the larger kind they do for some of the box sets (a man has to plan out his bookshelf layout you know).

Box size

Not yet known, but at 20 cds, it is the largest box other than 30 Trips since Spring '90 The Other One, and only one more cd than PacNW '73-74 but a whole extra show, which is in a massive box, but as a design aesthetic, and it was a much more attractive box than Spring '90 Either One. The picture we've all seen reminds me of Get Shown the Light. Kinda hoping not. I hope they do the digipaks for the shows like those Spring '90s and PacNW. I love the size of July '78 and June '76, but not the packaging for the cds. For 7 shows, I'm expecting a hefty box, and I'll rearrange things to make room. Which is also the solution to the future problem posed by my attainment of a Europe '72 steamer trunk, but with the rest of those lotto winnings, my Dead collection may just get its own room.

Old newbie

Fulda - hello to you, too ! You have joined at a stellar time, and hopefully have the box on order. Though of course, its not compulsory. I agree with Alvarhanso-this is a weighty release, and needs a weighty box to house it in. Nothing flimsy or tricky.

CD cases

Hopefully they come in the digipacks like PNW. Not a fan of cardboard sleeve cases.

Listening Party

Quite an interesting mix! Keith is waaaaay up there in the mix, as is Bob, especially on Black-Throated. Jerry scratches above the surface on his solos, but he is not nearly as prominent as we're used to in 1972 tapes, especially ones recorded by Bear. But he's also now getting familiar with recording that piano. But a very interesting sound from these snippets. Comes a Time is gorgeous, and Jerry's lead is back out front. This is the box I have been wanting since PacNW, I just didn't know it. Man, this Comes a Time is really pumping! Didn't recall it kicking like that on previous listens, but I admit mainly going back to that Playing> Dark Star> Dew> Playing segment more than anything. And very interesting vocal mixing by Bear on Jack Straw. Phil doing some of those Veneta slides. Phil very prominent on this 10/19 track, very much akin to Bear's mixing of 11/18/72 Hofheinz, and Phil does not disappoint.

We're now inside two weeks! Are we expecting shipping by 10/1? What a foolish question, but hopefully soon after.

Ok....time for me to start getting pumped for this box....

....hope y'all are staying safe and sound.

AL

I agree on the bobby and keith on BTW. Comes a time is as gorgeous as a beautiful blond deadhead chick. The tinkling of Keith and the sweet sound of jerry on comes a time is soothing.

Box Size

Allow me to pontificate on the box size. In the description tab it specifically says "the collection comes in a slipcase." a slipcase is "a protective box with one open end or more," clearly this suggests to me it will be like Veneta, July 1978, or June 1976. I very much doubt the CD's will be in a digipack.

You're welcome.

More box size thoughts

I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking about this. I think it's going to be similar in form to the Get Shown The Light All-Music edition, except slightly larger (10 x 10 inches instead of 9 x 9) with three disc folios, one for each year*; the larger dimensions would be necessary so that each page of each folio can hold two discs instead of one.

* or maybe two folios for 1972, since otherwise we would be looking at a 5-panel folio.

slipcase

Check out the August 2021 Grateful Dead Bulletin. It's a picture of the slipcase. I personally wish they were individual also, like the PNW so they are easier to transport and less of a potential to scratch the discs then sliding them in and out like most of the box sets. So is life, I just can't wait to have this great music in my possession!

The design

Musicnow is correct, there is a picture of it in the August Bulletin.
A square slipcase with a tray that slides out.
In the tray are the square cardboard sleeves that presumably hold the CD’s.
Can’t tell how the CD’s are arranged within the sleeves.

Box Size

I agree with all comments on this. I myself have completely given up on the topic and have been out of room for years.. I just scatter them about the house and try to keep them out of direct sunlight so they don't get a dreadful tan.

The only rooms off limits are the attic and the basement because of excessive heat and flooding.

Sage strategy? Perhaps not.. but it is what it is....

ConeKid, kindly post the Lancelot Linq for the box design so I can take a peek.
(kidding of course)

Edit: All jokes aside.. I finally took a close look at my almanac email and I'll be damned if I can find a pic of the box set. ..but really, it's two weeks out and I doubt if I will finish the addition to my house needed to give all the friggen box sets the space they deserve. In any case, I am really very, very happy to see these shows get released and especially happy to see them get the Full Norman and make it here in one box. I hope they do the same for the remaining BCT 72 shows. This is truly a special offering.. I cannot believe Dave did not over-hype it. Perhaps that was on purpose. Save the hype for the shows that need it, this one does not.

Dos Edit: A kind soul sent me the email. It still took me some time to find the box set reveal, and I think all we are seeing is a digipack, right? So we still know not the look of the box. Which is completely fine.

Box size

Yes, my boxes are all over the house, on on the top of book shelves, in clothes draws, in the attic - I think the bathroom is the only room where there aren't any. I keep the curtains drawn and place old L.P.s in front of them to protect them from sun light at certain time sof the day. Needless to say, I live alone.
With boxes where the cds are shoved in tightly in cardboard apertures, I simply take them out and place them in paper sleeeves and keep them in shoe boxes. In one box I have- a King Crimson one, the adhesive glue came off the inner cardboard sleeve onto the the cds! Luckily I managed to salvage them - but its not good.

Box Size

The Fare Thee Well Box is 8x8 inches and has 19 discs and a small book.

The STL Box could be of similar dimensions.

I think that some lucky folks might get a shipping notice this weekend.

SHIPPING NOTICE!!!!!

oh...never mind, it's my wife's new oven mitts.

Box Size

I have it on good authority that the new box will be called "the Loaf".

It will be a 6x6x12 inches long, cd's just stacked one behind the other.

box sets in the bathroom

I currently have 3. Both Spring 90s and E72. Am I inviting disc rot? Time will tell...

Shipping to Germany: 70$…

Shipping to Germany: 70$.
Does this include the new European Tax?
Does anybody know anything about this?
There must be some way out of here.
Somebody please help us Europeans!

Shipping?

Nothing from Deadnet, but UPS just sent me a tracking notice from WEA ECOMM GNARLYWOOD. Could it be
Drp out

UPS shipping notice

I too received a shipping notice from UPS. It says the package is 2 pounds. Dead.net has my St. Louis order as “processing”.

2 pounds

Sounds a little light to be St. Louis. But then again what do I know?

XD (LOL)
1.) Are they using the facilities? If not, ask them to leave or get kicked out. Human fecal matter and human urine just love the compact disc as a magnet, the human waste will gravitate to the discs along with the humidity during a shower or bath. But... If you invite me over, I'd probably take the 2nd Spring 90 box.

2.) To heck with the dirty off-color jokes and all kidding aside, yes, I believe you should take those box sets out of the bathroom. Reason my aforementioned possible/probable humidity problem.

Disc rot? I have never encountered that problem with pressed discs or CD-R or DVD. My first CD: "So" Peter Gabriel - USA release: May 1986. I bought my copy during the Memorial Day 1986 weekend at an independent record store. I still have the original copy in the original jewel case and I just played it in late August of this year with no problems with the disc itself or playing it. Last time I played it was in the last couple of days of 1999, maybe NYE day '99, local time.

Re: GratefulFrog

$70 could be about right.. for a multi-hundo dollar box, I would think they would include some protection, but even without it.. go to your local post and take what might be a similar sized box and try to send it back to the US. I bet they give you a number higher than $70 US. I know it's a sin.. wish it was easier and cheaper.. but in 2021 getting crap shipped across the pond is not as easy as it once was.

We Have Lift Off

No shipping notice, but at least it says "processing." Which is progress! Unless it isn't.

Notice here, too

And also baffled at 2 pound weight, including Light Into Ashes. I got a box for a buddy last week, and the shipping went from $11.99 in July to $26.99 last week, so that made me think it was going to be hefty...

the dreaded disc rot

I don't know about anyone else here, but I have it bad. After I ripped all my discs I started noticing it on my DaP's 1-4. I suspect there are more, too. Could it have been from storing them in the car? Just think how hot it gets in there in the WI summer with the windows rolled up. I still regret my duh pretty bad, but I also remind myself at least I have it all digital (and the packaging).

Two Pounds Figured Out

Two pounds is the weight of the two LP Light Into Ashes. I received my Dead.net shipping notice and that’s the only thing being shipped so far.

Disc Rot

The culprit seems to be storing hits of acid covered with aluminum foil in your Dave's Picks.

For all you people out there that do that.. quickly take the acid out of the sleeves in your dave's and dicks picks and put them in a queen or foreigner cd.. or led zep if you never purchased pop music. Do it quickly...

Disc rot. And the rest.

I've probably looked after my music collection better than I have looked after myself over the years, so physical deterioration and brain rot may be more of a problem for me than disc rot.

Light into Ashes

On the way shipping notice form dead net store. No word on the CD set. still says processing

Wilfred

I’ve checked my CD’s before when you reported rot and all mine played fine.

I never stored any of my commercial releases in my car.

I did store over 600 CD-R’s burned from torrents in the car (two 300+ CD cases in the trunk, and would rotate them into a 100 CD case in the cockpit), and after 10 years about 10% of the CD-R’s had the silver starting to flake off from the plastic. The remaining CD-R’s still play fine, I gave them to a friend for his car since my current car can play from a USB drive.

Not a good idea to store your ‘valuable’ CD’s in the car, make CD-R copies for the car.
Probably shouldn’t store them in the bathroom either.

All You Smart People

So I'm listening to the Ark shows on the Archive. So they sound too bass heavy to be enjoyable?

Or do I need to reassess my medication?

Thanks bunches!!

Shipping Notification

Anybody receive a shipping notification for this box yet?

Not here, Deadvikes

In fact, I just logged on to see if anyone had rec'd one. Crickets so far...

"THAT" Shipping confirmation email

I have that strange feeling that I will get this box set BEFORE I get a shipping confirmation email. That has happened to me several times, but not too often. 1 Dave's Picks, Vol 10 (Thelma 12/12/69); Road Trips 2.4 (Cal Expo 93).

Shipping for LP only

I got a shipping notice for just the Light Into Ashes double LP. Nothing about the box yet.

Sept 27th

Two things stand out. This date is the anniversary of Dicks Picks Vol 11. 9/27/72 is a favorite of mine from a peak era tour. I remember ordering this from the Home Shopping Network. The only time I remember Dick Latvala doing anything like that. Somewhere I have a VHS recording from the broadcast.

The concert itself is stellar.

....also it happens to be my next revolution around our interplanetary orbit around this star we call The Sun. 54 of them.

Check Back Later For Further Details

Light Into Ashes shipping notice but not moving yet.
Don't really care when you printed the label.
Bought something once on fleaBay and the jerk took 9 days between printing the label and getting it to the shipper!
Pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel sticking out of his pants. Bartender says, "Hey, you've got a steering wheel sticking out of your pants!". And the pirate says, "Arrr, and it's driving me nuts!".
That's all I have to say about that. F. Gump.
Coming soon enough I guess. Cheers all!

Edit: Happy Birthday Brother!

Edit 9/28: Light Into Ashes now expected delivery Oct. 1st. Right on target for the small vinyl package.

Happy, happy,

Joy, joy to space bro!
Hope it’s a good one, perhaps fire up that KILLER DP 11, one of my favorite disc threes! Come on, a DS, Cumberland, and Attics! Fo git a bout it!

Rut, roh, Ist show is going after Vguys dead.net comedy chair!

Re:

Happy SpaceDay, BirthBrother.

Each new situation requires a new architecture…..

50 years ago today………..

September 1971 is the only month of the year in which there were no live Dead shows. However, the Dead did hold rehearsals with Keith Godchaux in late September and early October 1971, supposedly at the Santa Venetia Armory in San Rafael, California.

For an excellent discussion of the Dead’s rehearsal spaces/places, see the following:
lostlivedead.blogspot.com/2013/01/grateful-dead-rehearsal-spaces-1965-1995

For an excellent discussion of the circumstances of Keith joining the band, please see:

The rehearsals themselves appear to have been held on September 28-30 and October 1, 1971. Variable quality recordings from these dates have circulated for quite some time, and predominantly consist of run throughs of short songs, including new material (such as Jack Straw, Tennessee Jed, One More Saturday Night, Mexicali Blues) and some material that subsequently was not played later in 1971 (Deep Elem Blues, Attics Of My Life, Ripple). While there are some short jams, no longer, free form jams appear on the commonly circulating recordings.

If the only new thing we have to offer is an improved version of the past, then today can only be inferior to yesterday. Hypnotized by images of the past, we risk losing all capacity for creative change……

Rock on!!
