    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.

    Box sets

    Jim, I agree with you about the box sets, as far as the Greek and Frost goes. They could put out box sets of some of the shows from these venues, but I doubt that they would put out a complete Greek or Frost , box of all the shows, not all the shows are knockouts. I feel the best shows at the Frost were 1982 & 1985, there are other good shows but I feel those are the best.

    Cassette Master Box

    I don't see that happening. For the most part they have been restricting box sets to multi-track or good sounding, well recorded reel to reels. I don't see them breaking that precedent any time soon.

    It's more likely if we see an 80's show make it's way into a box, it's either multi track or they could possibly stick with their tent pole model where they might surround a theme related box with some great recordings with a tangent cassette master or two that slightly missed the mark.

    If there was ever pent-up demand for some of these cassettes being leaked en masse, it would probably be the Greeks, Alaska or the Frost.

    I just do not see a box of cassette masters. I don't mean to burst anyone's bubble but if nothing else they have been consistent regarding this, the exception being the 80's shows in Boxzilla.

    I could see a fall '72 but I am not sure the timing is great for this with the meat of the St. Louis box being the heart of Fall '72. One other nugget.. Lemieux is on record somewhere saying they are missing reels from the BCT 72 run. That may be true or might have been true at one point in time, but the reels do exist somewhere.. and as we all know the reels almost always seem to find their way back to the vault.

    So what's in the next box? I think it will be a grand surprise. (then again the last time I said grand surprise we got a Giant(s) Box, which was a grand surprise).

    Maybe the best way forward would be an expanded Ace, a couple of RSD vinyl releases from Europe 72 ( although I know not everyone goes for vinyl) and....a Fall 72 box.

    Prior to 30 Trips...

    I had expressed my wish for one show from each year of the first ten years, 1966-1975, and I got my wish -- except with 20 extra shows I didn't need. Prior to LIsten to the River I had stumped for fall '72 and we got three killer fall '72 shows. Dave L. did say that a fall '72 box "has to happen sometime." (I paraphrase.) Why not 2022? I was thinking two nights in Paris and the Amsterdam/Rotterdam shows for a finely tuned mix remaster release. But if 1972 turns into a theme, then we're more likely getting an expanded Ace and the earliest '72 show and/or a fall '72 box. As DR mentioned, there is a ton of fall '72 and six shows would hardly dent it.

    Otherwise Dave L. goes rogue and does 20 CDs of 1980s cassettes... and I don't see that selling. But I'm a notoriously bad salesman.

    And Now For Our Next Morbid Selection.....

    Slow morning...I keep listening to Attics of My Life, Brokedown Palace, and Stella Blue.

    Next Box Set - well,.since my All Dark Star idea appears to have been ignored, I'll drop back to another monster box like E72. A group of 3 shows from each year, just the best sounding stuff, from 1968 through 1974. If each year features chronological shows just call it "The Runs".

    Fall 72 for Fall 2022?

    It would be great if Fall 1972 could be the subject of the next box-even though it featured in the last one. The shows I have heard from this period are so uniformally excellent that it wouldn't matter if they went back there again. In fact, they could release all of them.
    I can't say the same for May 1977, though. I think I have got all the ones that have been officially released so far, and we all know now how well they were playing then. But I don't listen to all the ones I have got in any one 12 month period-which suggests I don't need another one. They skim the surface a bit for me.

    A lack of excitement for #41

    All my "insights," in retrospect (that is, moments after I press "save") are painfully obvious, yet I post them anyway... Oh well, maybe that's how it goes in one's 60s... I'm only six months from 65 and still getting used to yelling "Get off my (shitty) lawn!" even when there's no one there. My hair and beard are getting long and I don't shower but every 4-5 days. Why bother?

    Oh, my point. #41, which is 5-26-77 if memory serves (there I go again), seems to be generating zero excitement. I think this is because spring '77 is so well-represented by official releases that we all know what to expect. Sure, a real, reliably rockin show, but nothing we haven't heard before. Pleasure to be had? Certainly. But I'll bet they had this selected and mixed long ago, freeing up time and effort for this year's "projects" -- a box (apparently Rhino prefers 20-CD boxes, per Dave's Listen liner notes) and ... what else? Something else, as Dave said one project had to be bumped to 2023, they were so freakin' busy. So, perhaps, something related to the 50th of 1972? A six-show revisit of E72?? It's been out 11 years and individual shows are OOP.

    Another amazingly obvious point: I'll bet there's a ton of film and audio left over from the GD Movie and 2024 would be the 50th and the time to release it. Okay, sonic issues could complicate matters (see Steal Your Face). I'm still not used to the heavy reverb-drenched 4-CD "movie soundtrack," but it established that they must have some audio in decent shape. I could see Dave & Co. dialing up all the complete audio that they have video for and putting it out, plus bonus audio. There's been total silence on this notion, indicating to me that a) it's possible, b) I'm laughably off the mark.

    So, after PNW and Listen to the River, which delivered 13 full shows in my '71-'74 wheelhouse, I'm utterly without guesses as to the 2022 box. Still, I shamelessly say that it could be a location with shows over time (theme of aforementioned box sets) or a focus on an under-represented year such as '79. (Because it has a "7" in it and because they'll need 6-7 shows to hit Rhino's sweet spot. I'm less excited for the music (it's unknown), but will be fascinated by the choice. Oh yeah, it's January. Probably no news for 4-5 months...

    29 days with a boot on my leg and 7 to go before I start rehab (on the ankle, that is). And I'm taking out my antsy-ness on my good brothers here. Oh cruel world!

    layers - HF

    To add another layer, I knew absolutely nothing about the origin of any of the songs on "American Beauty" when I first heard it -and I still thought it was wonderful. And still do. That's another layer of Robert Hunter's skill- not only did he write lyrics that seemed to express the feelings of band members, in doing so, he also got through to people as far away as me-a teenager living in another country. I think I've just re-phrased something you already said! Anyway.

    And, yes, they should definitley release 8/21/68 in it's entirety. I don't think too many people would complain if they dropped the comic this time around.

    Frankie Hart (Weir)

    I don't think Frankie Weir died until sometime later, perhaps in the early 2000's as a result of declining health perhaps related to Lupus? They broke up in 1975 I believe. I think her real name was Judy Azzara with Azzara being a married name.

    I might not be 100% correct in the above, if anyone has any better detail please feel free to clarify.

Would of made sense. That’s the problem with only one box a year though.
I think they’d have no problem if the did a big un and a mini every year, but hey I’m a full on addict now ; )
One BIG box, one mini, 5 Dave’s, and another, low budget “cassette master” series, with the occasional stand alone.

There’s still at least hundreds of good shows, what are they waiting for, their market to be Dead…and I don’t mean gratefully ; )

Just read on uncut that Pink Floyd has released 10 or so live shows from 1970 to 72. Atom Heart Mother, Meddle and Obscured by Clouds covered. Awesome

I just went to the site and it didn’t mention the live shows.
But the most recent update, from yesterday, says that Pulse is coming out on BluRay 2-18-22.
Awesome, I have the DVD but have been wishing for a BluRay rerelease.
I saw the same show as on Pulse at the Pontiac Silverdome.

Edit:
Googled it and the live shows are currently only on streaming services.

Yo! Rockers!!

Before anybody starts losing their mind over this....................

The Floyd shows just "released" on streaming sites are all widely circulated and have been for years. I should know, I have them all.............

These "new" releases are all audience recordings. Repeat---audience recordings, NOT soundboards.Not so bad for what they are, but if anybody was expecting better, sorry, no. And it's not clear that they used the best source material either. Best/worst example---the Montreux shows.

Guess they figured that if King Crimson can do it, so can we!!!

Have followed the Floyd taping/trading scene for decades. Soundboards are exceptionally rare, very little was actually recorded by the band. Alas, their best work, especially in the pre-DSOTM era, was never recorded professionally. I do have these "new" releases if anybody wants, but caveat emptor......

I say this as somebody who was very deep into Pink Floyd years before I got on the Dead bus....................

Rock on!!!

Doc

Set the controls for the heart of the sun

A lot was released as part of the Box a few years ago. Maybe that was most of what they had?
I was able to get all the small Boxes that make up the big Box, except for the bonus material that came with the big Box. But, all the small Boxes were only about half the price, and I didn’t really need all the bonus schwag.
I recently watched all the video from those Boxes and there is some good stuff, but a lot of the 67,68 videos are them lip syncing to the studio recordings.

Working my way slowly through the box, and finally just now hit disc two of the first '72 show. Whoa. The rippin' Cumberland, then the brain-melting Playin'! Then they open set two with a hot Greatest, then dial it UP a notch with a smokin' Don't Ease!

On top of this I've been listening for the first time to the shows I attended. My third, fourth, and fifth shows were 9/4-6/91, and I'll be DAMNED if they aren't REALLY HOT!

Have a Jerry Christmas, and a Happy New Weir!

I still dip into this box-I played the first cd from 1970 only last night, which starts with the band playing Atom Heart Mother without the orchestra at Montreux and ends with the same piece live at the Beeb with the full monty.

The cds are much more satisfactory than the blu ray discs for me in this box, apart form the clips from 1966-1967 with the mighty Syd. The ones from 1968, with other band members lip synching to pre recorded playbacks of Syd Barretts songs are a bit ridiculous, unfortunately. They look embarrassed while they are doing it. As indeed they should.

I wonder if these new live Pink Floyd releases are radio broadcasts. We are inundated with them in Britain.

The blu ray of Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets looks tempting. Even if they are a cover band.

thanks doc for the info, interesting that they would re release released live shows that are audience recordings. I also read that there was a change in the copy write laws in England and Europe and if you don't use it within 50 years, you lose it. Dylan released a bunch of stuff before the 50 year threshold was reached so I guess they just don't want their recordings going to public domain.
I have a couple of Pink Floyd shows that were released back in the 90's "Rhapsody in Pink" comes to mind. They don't sound so good. I stopped buying any of their live stuff due to the recording on that cd alone, pretty shitty.

Yo! Floydians!!!

Correct me if I'm wrong........

If memory serves me well, those shows were never offically released in the USA. They are not true "line recording broadcast over the airwaves". Can't speak to the UK details......

Pretty much all of the high quality live stuff was released on the early box set. I think there's some tiny fragments of different stuff floating around, but otherwise that's about it for now........

Back in the day, almost no bands routinely recorded live shows unless they were preparing for live album releases. So what was preserved by the Dead was a major, major gift to history---and to us also.

Rock on rockets!

I recently got the DSOTM remaster which has a 2nd CD with a live DSOTM from Nov. 1974 Wembly.
Sounds really good compared to the AUD recordings I have.

“It’s time for young people to start thinking about the world they’ll leave for me and Keith Richards," sez Willie.

Keef reminds me of that episode of the Simpsons where Mr Burns gets a physical and doctor tells him he has "everything": he has so many different diseases that they're all somehow in perfect balance. "So, what you're saying is, I'm invincible?" Burns replies.

Good ol' Keef. I loved him like a father, I loved him like a friend, I knew his time would shortly come, but I did not know just when.

I just got around to listening to this all---I hope KeithFan is happy---Keith is all over this, both in his relative prominence compared to other recordings, and in the number of times he is given 'lead' while Garcia lays back or disappears. Much, much Keith, and in great form.

Christmas is the spirit of giving without a thought of getting. So if anybody out there needs some 1971 Christmas joy in their stocking, you know where to find me! The excellence of a gift lies in its appropriateness rather than in its value........

Did I mention its free??
Pardon my French, but that's pretty fucking cool of the band. They remind me a lot of the Grateful Dead in that they just want to play. And appreciate their phans which is payed forward.

Ah, shut the f*ck up for a minute. What happened to the FCC…………..?

For years the Lanum FM was the only commonly circulating copy of this show, until Charlie Miller released his fine FM and SBD remasters in 2018. Both are recommended. And while this may not be a “classic show”, it is, like many Dead New Year’s shows, a “fun show”, and it does have its moments, especially the Dancin’ opener and the fine second set. A great way to end a great year of Grateful Dead music. But was it really the end of 1971………………?

The world in which we were called to exist was an absurd world, and there was no other in which we could take refuge…….

Rock on!!

Doc
That, for me, is the only real legacy: the idea that one has left a lingering trace in people's memories…..

Proudfoot, ein neuer Tag. Beautiful!

I learned that song in 1972 or 73 while we were living in West Deutschland for 18 months while my Dad worked at Max Plank institute in Heidelberg. I attended a Grundschule

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!
