    Individually Numbered, Limited Edition of 13,000

    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.

    They’re better than a studio overdub or complete removal of the song.

    Good luck on the upcoming tournament! That is a serious workout! I took Goju Ryu for a few years, for exercise, and went to a few Black Belt exams to watch the action, but after watching my head roll across the Dojo floor after sparring courtesy of a kid half my age, I decided to just stick to the gym for exercise. But huge respect to you, and good luck!

    PS - Great discussion on the sound on the releases, everyone has an opinion, important to respect that right. Shoutout to DaveRock, and my pal Oro in the high Rockies. You’re both right, as I see it! As the English say, “End of”!

    Patches/tapes

    Hi All - so I see both sides of the discussion regarding the patches on this box. The audience patches are not unprecedented, but at the same time, not entirely expected per say. To me I was a little surprised by them, but overall I still love this box set. I think these shows are great and the audience patches to me are just a minor issue. I have been working my way through the 73 shows. Oddly enough I encountered an anomaly where Stella Blue on disc 20 was skipping in my CD player, and only when I play it on the CD player. This did not happen when I ripped it to a computer. Interestingly there are no discernable scratchs or marks to the CD so I am guessing it is just the CD player's issue. If i would have had a similar experience with this box like the PNW box where I had about 5 CDs that needed replaced, that would have changed my mind.

    A note on tapes: as I got on the bus at almost the 11th hour much of my early Grateful Dead experience was with listening to tapes. Right after Jerry died, I went on a massive tape trading run. I got so many great shows back then, which to Dick L and Dave L's credit, just about all of those shows have been released. Still I have so many found memories of my tapes.

    I hope everyone stays well- i will be checking in here when I can. My work has been crazy, as some things on the home front. Plus I am training for, and competing in a Masters Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tournament in VGuy's hometown in a couple of weeks. Assuming I am in one piece after that, I will be looking forward to the reviews of DaP 40.

    I think the folks who post on these boards are among the most informed DeadHeads out there. I don't understand how someone who is not new to the Vault release scene could be in the dark (heh) about the relative sound quality of the different years, or the fact that shows are often patched here and there. I know when I buy any show, it's as likely as not that there is going to be an issue with levels or dropouts on the first song, as the sound crew makes adjustments. As Icecrmcnkd said, it's not as though a significant amount of the entire package is affected. What's the point of complaining about something you know is part of the deal (heh). Sure, it's anyone's right to state an opinion, but there is no point complaining about something you can expect on any given release. I would bet your Dave's Picks 1 that you own at least one other show that contains one kind of audio anomaly or another. Magnetic audio tape wasn't built to last (heh). It would be a somewhat different story if you're new to the scene, don't own any Dead but just got hooked at the local Dead & Co show, and thought wow, I'm going all-in on this new box set they just released with 7 shows from a prime period in their playing career. But I don't believe that's the story on this message board.

    Oroborous - yes, Keith used a stand-up piano in '71. You can catch him playing the occasional Hammond on some of the October shows too.

    For those interested into a deep dive in the San Francisco sound of the 60s, a comprehensive box set of virtually everything the Beau Brummels recorded has been released. Never a fan myself, but it's out there for those that are.

    I agree with Simonrob and Unkle Sam - everyone has the right to air their views on the Dead and Dead releases on here. It isn't acceptable to criticise somone for expressing a point of view. To disgree with that point of view-of course -- but to object to someone expressing it - no.

    Oh, to be caught between Cleveland and Columbus. Perhaps that’s a cosmic joke, in an Ohio sort of way, but it’s really no laughing matter……

    There was some sweet jamming during the Fall & Winter tours of 1971, with Other Ones and Dark Stars becoming more common than in the first half of the year. What to make of the six shows without a “big jam sequence” (10/23, 27, 30; 11/11; 12/2, 7, 9) ?? They range from “somewhat average” to “pretty damn good”.

    There was almost always something good played at every 1971 Dead show, but sometimes you have to dig around to find it. This show is no different, so enjoy digging around!

    Rock on!!

I ordered that thing back in May..lol..last I heard said shipping September 6th..anyone get theirs?

One week delay, I can live with that.
Why is there a delay?
It could be one or more problems, namely manufacturing problems such as mis-stamped discs, low raw stock, and of course, labor problems - too many plant employees are out sick because of COVID-19.
Who really knows.

Got my shipping notice on the Ashes vinyl w/ slipmat.

The big Fox 71 vinyl appears to be pushed out to mid November here and amazon. Looks like the cd format for the show is available on schedule.

I'd rather have the crack equipment crew get it just right then deal with Warner getting things rectified...

The date on the Digital taste has not moved so we'll get some first impressions in the meantime.

Wouldn't it be cool to let us boxers get a one show digital miracle as a nice delay gesture and it lets us dip our toes in that new technology ;)

Exactly why I switched to digital copies...

Production delays, poor pressing of CDs, (took almost 8 months to get replacement Giants Stadium box cds.), damaged box with shipping and countless days waiting for a reply.
Can't wait to see, if this will cause a stir on the last Dave's Pick.
Can we switch, Dave's picks, to a digital release option?

We know you have been eagerly anticipating the arrival of the St. Louis collection releases. We are too and have been doing everything we can but due to production delays, the following items have shipping updates:

Listen To The River: St: Louis ’71 ’72 ’73 (20-CD) – will begin shipping October 1, 2021

Fox Theatre, St. Louis, MO 12-10-71 (5-LP) – will begin shipping November 14, 2021

We are sincerely sorry for the delay and we thank you for your patience.

How hard can it be to pass on accurate information? As others have noticed, the release date of the box as shown on the product page was changed from October 1 to October 8. Now we get an order update mail that gives the release date as October 1. The logical assumption is that the update mail was composed by a retard and as such it can be ignored and that we can expect a week's delay in the shipping of the box. As for the 5 LP set, the new release date of November 14 corresponds to the release date given on Amazon so I think we can assume that that is accurate.

This shipping notice seems to have added to the confusion rather than cleared it. My axe to grind concerns reference to the 5 L.P. release date, which I received along with the one for the box of cds. I didn't order the 5 L.P.set-but I did order the Light Into Ashes album, and there was no mention of that in the email I recieved. Maybe it was just a generic and incomplete email I recieved-but more worryingly, it might be a warning that they are going to send me the wrong album ! I think I'd better spend tomorrow trying to contact them to make sure they aren't going to do this.

I know I used to get all wound up too, waiting in the audience when the scheduled start time for a GD concert came and went, but eventually the lights went down and we all had a real good time.

To distract you from the box set blues, I will mention that my favorite music to listen to on a long bike ride or run is string quartets. They're so personal that they sink straight into my psyche, and then tell such a good long story that I can get very lost in them for 20+ minutes, just like in an exploratory Playin' or Dark Star. Lately it's been Vivaldi, Britten, Elliott Carter, and Nielsen.

Also--I've finally been listening to the shows I attended, and have made it to my third show, which was 9/4/91. Sounds pretty hot to my ears, especially the Jack Straw, Cold Rain, Promised, and He's Gone. But the top highlight, for those who want to get a small sample, is the killer Scarlet-->Fire to kick off set two. I was fortunate to have started my live GD journey in 1991, as they were still bringing the X Factor a lot that year. I welcome any releases from 1991.

... is the only part of the St. Louis collection that will be on time?
That's all I ordered for now.
My tracking says 10-1-21 now.
Have not received any stray notices about the other products.
Surprised the CD box has not sold out.
Good luck to all, Cheers!

WW - thanks for the heads up. Just ordered the CD.

I'm guessing the start shipping date of 10/1 and arrive date of 10/8 includes the 3 trips around the loading dock and the innovation dance between USPS and UPS in the states.

Would love to see a box unveiling video...

November 14, 2021 as new shipping date per e-mail. 😟

Should get Garcia Live: Vol 17 around that time as
well.
Edit:

Reread email: Now they’re just trying to confuse me. The prior e-mail told me I might be interested in items including Daves 39 & Daves 39. 😳

Please don’t email me guys. I don’t check for shipping notices and after the Giants Stadium box, I am pleased and pleasantly surprised even if an order arrives 10 months late.

Seems odd to get a notice from “the Dead.net team” that due to “production delays” the Listen to the River box will “begin shipping October 1, 2021.” Because, wasn’t that always the announced release date? In other news, Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

In the same email, I am informed that the 12-10-71 lp set will begin shipping November 14. Even though I didn’t order that set. Which seems weird because it would be really easy to send a separate email to everybody who ordered that set, if that's the only thing that changed.

Which makes me wonder: did somebody just put the wrong date on the Listen to the River announcement? Was it supposed to say "delayed until October 8" or something?

So, on the one hand, they’re trying. On the other hand, this is not very effective communication. Bottom line, I can’t tell what, if anything, has changed with regard to my order.

Just checking my emails, I notice I got one on Monday telling me that Light Into Ashes is on its way. A bit surprising - it looks as though that one is out ahead of schedule.

Colin-I saw some clips of Memphis 69 via Michael Messers website (great slide guitarist incidentally), and it does indeed look excellent. I think it was the same one-features Bukkha White.

Yes, Iv'e been intending to get the cd they made for some time now. His solo albums are good too. And those resonators he endorses are a constant temptation-especially the White Lightning.

Colin-typing at the same time! - I'll head over to Amazon for further investigation I think.

In an ideal world, you receive the product on the release date. So to be released on Oct 1st, it has to be shipped a few days prior. So shipping on Oct 1st, means it will really be on the streets Oct 8

In any case, it is it nice to know they are still thinking of us, albeit belatedly

They paint bulls eyes on the labels and use them for target practice at the warehouse. I wouldn't hold your breath...

But at least the cogs have begun to move.

Truckin', got my chips cashed in
Keep truckin', like the do-dah man
Together, more or less inline
Just keep truckin' on
Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street
Chicago, New York, Detroit and it's all on the same street
Your typical city involved in a typical daydream
Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings
Dallas, got a soft machine
Houston, too close to New Orleans
New York got the ways and means
But just won't let you be
Most of the cats that you meet on the street speak of true love
Most of the time, they're sittin' and cryin' at home
One of these days they know they better be goin'
Out of the door and down to the street all alone
Truckin', like the do-dah man
Once told me, "You've got to play your hand"
Sometimes the cards ain't worth a dime
If you don't lay 'em down
Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me
Other times, I can barely see
Lately, it occurs to me
What a long, strange trip it's been
What in the world ever became of sweet Jane?
She lost her sparkle, you know she isn't the same
Livin' on reds, vitamin C, and cocaine
All a friend can say is, "Ain't it a shame?"
Truckin', up to Buffalo
Been thinkin', you got to mellow slow
It takes time, you pick a place to go
And just keep truckin' on
Sittin' and starin' out of the hotel window
Got a tip they're gonna kick the door in again
I'd like to get some sleep before I travel
But if you got a warrant, I guess you're gonna come in
Busted, down on Bourbon Street
Set up, like a bowlin' pin
Knocked down, it gets to wearin' thin
They just won't let you be
You're sick of hangin' around and you'd like to travel
Get tired of travelin', you want to settle down
I guess they can't revoke your soul for tryin'
Get out of the door and light out and look all around
Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me
Other times, I can barely see
Lately, it occurs to me
What a long, strange trip it's been
Truckin', I'm a goin' home
Whoa, whoa, baby, back where I belong
Back home, sit down and patch my bones
And get back truckin' on

I was there as well. That three show run was hot. The first night on 9/4/91 is a well played show with big jams. The middle night was well played but mellow. The third night of 9/6 was epic. From the Stranger opener through Bird Song may be the best 2st set this line-up performed that year. The second set is the best combo of Victim > Crazy Fingers > Playin > Terrapin > Jam then they came back with a Dark Star Jam out of Drumz. The show that tops this is 9/26/91.

For those keeping score (and I think we ALL are by now) I got my shipping confirmation for the Light into Ashes Lp and the slipmat, but not for the main event box set yet. So Im thinking that did get bumped by a few days but other items are starting to ship. Good luck all! I was hoping this might actually be in hand or on the way this weekend but looks probably not

Boston Garden 91, 9/20 was my 2nd show and one of my favorites that I ever saw, 'cause of Bruce's pie-anner. I'd thoroughly enjoy a 91 Box. Dicks Picks 17 is one of my all time favorites for the same reason.

No shipping notice yet for this behemoth, but did get the email update it should go out tomorrow. Cue the passenger pigeons in bomber jackets and leather flight caps with circular goggles.

So glad this showed up a day early to help satisfy the hunger left by the big box's somewhat imminent arrival. On the Phil-o Stomp portion of Dark Star, and the Playing was excellent and deep, the first part of Dark Star was immediately exploratory as they had only briefly left deep jams for Billy's drum solo. Jerry plays some really pretty things early on. The China> Rider Connection Jam after the Phil-o Stomp is fantastic and so unexpected (even though I used to listen to this set all the time years ago), what a way to transition to D to then go to Dm for Dew, with Phil dropping them in perfectly. Wow! Okay gonna shut these fingers up and enjoy this Dew. Hope everybody gets their shipments soon and all intact and unsullied.

Oh, and the "Formless Reflections" vinyl? It's real, and it's spectacular!

From this site CD release date moved form 1st to 8th and now the 15th of October. The 5 album vinyl edition has now slipped to the 19th of Nov. I ordered both. I wonder if they will ship together or separately.
Light into Ashes vinyl (10-18-72) arrived yesterday

The only show available for download is 12/9/71. When will we see the rest?

I do hope they get this box on the plane soon,keeping on postponing the release date is becoming a drag, it could end up with no one here to pay customs and take delivery if this carries on. I'm not sure how long customs will hold onto goods without payment, or an acceptable delivery window, if fees are paid, what a" Cock Up"
