    “Welcome to the unique, enduring phenomenon of the Grateful Dead in New York City, a mutual devotion, forged in concert, that ran for nearly as long as the band itself—from June 1, 1967, a free show in Tompkins Square Park on the Lower East Side (ahead of the band’s official, local bow at the Cafe Au Go Go), to the Dead’s last Garden run, six nights in October 1994…the Dead’s affinity for New York City…was instant and arguably their most profound with any city aside from San Francisco.” - David Fricke

    They got on the bus to the Port Authority, rode in on the Long Island Railroad and the New Jersey Transit line. They traveled North, South, and West on the 1, 2, and 3 subway lines, their numbers growing as they descended upon Penn Station. Some rolled up in those iconic New York yellows. Some walked excitedly through the bright lights of Broadway and Times Square, meeting up with old friends on the way and picking up a few new ones too as they ascended The Garden's stairs. Maybe you were among them - lightly buzzed on the way in, fully aglow on the way home. New York City was in its prime and damn if the Grateful Dead wasn't going to rise up to meet it! If you were there, we call on you to join us as we recapture that MSG magic and if you weren't, we invite you along on the epic journey that is IN AND OUT OF THE GARDEN: MADISON SQUARE GARDEN '81 '82 '83.

    Numbered and limited-edition to 12,500, this 17CD set celebrates the band’s rich history at “the world’s most famous arena,” introducing six previously unreleased shows recorded at MSG between 1981 and 1983. It offers a front-row seat to the Dead in the early 1980s, an overlooked and underestimated era of rebirth for the band. At the time of the recordings, the group featured Brent Mydland. Mydland’s vocal power and colorful keyboard palette energized the band, invigorating older material like “The Wheel,” “Truckin’” and “Eyes of The World.” He also gave the band more musical flexibility, which encouraged them to dust off rarely aired treasures like “Dupree’s Diamond Blues” and “Crazy Fingers.”

    IN AND OUT OF THE GARDEN touches on the three-year period after 1980’s GO TO HEAVEN was released, a time when the Dead were constantly on the road, playing more than 200 dates. While they were in no rush to return to the studio during this time, they continued to write new music. In 1982 and ’83, the band performed most of the songs that would appear on 1987’s IN THE DARK. The new collection includes performances of four songs from that album – “Touch Of Grey,” “Hell In A Bucket,” “Throwing Stones,” and “West L.A. Fadeaway” – plus the B-side, “My Brother Esau.”

    Due September 23rd, IN AND OUT OF THE GARDEN comes in a custom box featuring new artwork by Dave Van Patten celebrating the band’s eclectic fanbase, with a cavalcade of illustrated Dead Heads. The collection also includes detailed liner notes by award-winning music journalist David Fricke, who explores the band’s connection to the Big Apple. It features newly restored and speed-corrected audio by Plangent Processes, mastered by Jeffrey Norman.

    Nice source tape information for the box sets DeadVikes, I was curious, but not enough to check them all and see.

    Currently spinning DP 6 for a little taste of '83 in anticipation of this box.

    The marketing of Box Sets has definitely varied through the years, but I don't think they have ever been marketed like Dicks Picks, which were all two track recordings or cassette masters. Some had the old caveat emptor, while others talked up how good the recordings were (see Dick's #33).

    I love, love Dave's Picks Vol. 8, 11/30/1980. Jeffrey Norman did a fantastic job with the Matrix. The audience sounds great but the Matrix sounds better. The soundboard is very good, but as noted sounds a little thin.

    A great release and a go to for me that is still in regular rotation.

    Oro, you make plenty of good points...

    ... and I appreciate your willingness to share your unbiased and non-judgmental thinking. A comment on one or two of your points. Since my first live show over 40 years ago, I became an avid collector, even tried my hand at being a taper-hanger-on ... Having a clean SBD was nirvana, because somehow, those shows were wonderful performances (IMO) AND the sound was clean and clear. But there were plenty of audience tapes that featured great performances and the sound was bearable (for me, the Hollywood Palladium in August, for example). The other factor for me is the shows I've been to ... whether SBD or Aud, they are all special and hold a special place in my memory banks, regardless of quality and performance. And on to another point of yours regarding review of any particular year. For sooo long I ignored 78 and 79 shows .... either didn't have enough good material in my collection or was unimpressed with what I'd heard at the time.... I always think of Tennessee Jed being the example ... it went from a quick, boppy, tight moving tune in the 72 time frame to a slow, ponderous, plodding, molasses-filled puddle of goo in the 78/79 time frame.... at least that's what I thought for a long time. I've since come to enjoy 78/79 (but really like 80 too!!) much more ... either because of being exposed to great performances, or because of the great recordings (Betty boards from summer of 78). Again, thanks for your thoughtful analysis!! .......tcc

    Wow.. there's a lot to unpack here. First, thanks Oro for putting something this difficult together.

    It's hard to argue there is no bias in how we perceive. Our brains scan, absorb, look for and recognize patterns every waking hour. Patterns on top of patterns and we are quick to recognize a familiar pattern, then we classify it - and so it is.. fact (at least in our own grey matter). That's how those cool optical allusions work, we process until we have it 'figured out' then we move on even if we are wrong and the source was/is some form an illusion or some form of bias.

    I agree with your era argument too.. a good show it is a good show and even with bad shows there might a shining moment or three that makes it worth it (thinking that Visions of Johanna from 3/18/95 for example). I've also always said the later years would be viewed differently if they were better recorded or Betty recorded. There's a great 82 show you tossed out on the pick of the day thread that sounds really very good for a cassette master, what happened in 83, 84 and 87? Some of those boards do not sound very good at all and these shows and years are lost to most. It could be the crowd got rowdier and louder, lots of factors at play and there are good sounding boards from these years. But I think we know Healy mixed it up some sound better than others. I also think Don Pearson getting involved with taping helped as did the gradual shift to PCM DAT's.

    Point being.. if we are going to take that extra step beyond listening and grade or judge, the recordings and the performance must be measured somehow or at least accounted for. Gestalt is the word I am thinking of. The whole picture (soundscape).

    I vary from you a bit that audience recordings when well done can be superior to soundboards, ignore matrix efforts a minute. I agree with what you are saying in the years when board tapes declined.. but I don't think it's necessarily a bias to like really well-done soundboards over a really well done aud or matrix. So true, it's not what it sounded like being there, but it's a purer distillation of what the artists were doing on stage before it hit the airwaves, speakers, crowd noise, that passing jet, etc. Those passing jets are a downer.

    I'm not disagreeing with what you wrote, more adding context and an opinion. I like the subject matter and it's not something that is easy to put pen to paper.

    I need to give this more thought.. a very interesting topic.

    I did buy this box. With the exception of the few cassette masters on 30 trips, this is the first box set that is comprised of cassette masters. This is a turning point, the first box sets were only multi-track and they were quick to advertise this.. two track were Dicks Picks (now Dave's) and box sets were multi-track. So we have entered a new era. I certainly hope they smoke, I bought this box. It's a little risky though. Can't wait to listen for myself, most of these shows will be first listens.

    Keep it alive folks, that's all I have for now. My image is that of the Indian leaders sitting in a circle in the teepee, talking, listening, adding to, and taking a hit off the peace pipe to contemplate what has been said.

No mention of the Saint Steve On 10/11/83?
I know it’s not pristine etc but it was the first one since 1/10/79.
You’d think they’d at least mention it.

Does anyone know what the source is for these shows? Cassettes? Edison wax cylinders? I imagine the sound quality will be at least acceptable otherwise would they dare to put out a 17 CD box. Don't answer that. 😬

I am a huge fan of these 81 shows and have known the 9/21/82 show a long time and dig it pretty well too. Happy to see this come out as a box.

I have to admit though, I am a little disappointed that they didn't try another matrix like 11-30-80. The Glassberg tapes from the 81 shows outshine the SBDs in many ways. I think the DaP 8 matrix sounds superb and wish they would have done that here.

For me personally, although there is some gold in these there MSG hills, my first impression is I may pass on this full box, on cost alone. Converting my local pesos into USD, and adding in the international shipping - which blows at the best of times, no matter what gets charged - I may pass on this one. Too bad, but thems the breaks.

To those that do get it, I hope it is a killer box set.

I like this format for these boxes being three years from a city or venue. A bit more affordable and packed with a lot of music. Covers a lot of ground from the era. Seems like ages between box set announcements from last year's. Dave's Picks from 69 looks great too. Incentive to subscribe.

I'm a subscriber so it's no biggie, but the page for Dave's Pucks 43 doesn't seem to work. Did it crash?

It's about the music, obviously, but when the artwork on the package is not to one's taste—in this case not at all, horrific IMHO—it's an instant turn off. Hope the music inside really sings.

I've always wanted 9/21/82 (first show I ever attended) to be released, but after a while I came to doubt that it would ever happen. The show opens on a spectacular note (a strong Playin'>Crazy Fingers??!!) and the level of energy and improvisation at this show are quite notable for any performance during the Band's last 15 years. Some of the song selections are quite melancholically expressed, and others are exuberantly played. I've always thought that Jerry and the drummers in particular were on fire that night. The encore, US Blues, is one I've come to realize as more likely to follow a strong performance. But- no question there's a number of stellar examples of the repertoire in it. No question I'm getting this one. That being said, while I'll be thrilled to get the official release and improved soundboard recording, there's a great matrix rendition of this show online which fans of it shouldn't miss.

I didn't jump on this one right away, but eventually conceded. I would have gladly paid the $179 for DaP43 over this box set.

To me the highlights are the 83 St. Stephen out of Space (clearly) and the 81 Deep Elem. But, I figured that this era is underrepresented in my catalog, so why not give it a shot. With that, my collection of C.C. Riders and Day Jobs will now be way overrepresented.

Yea, the artwork is definitely sub-optimal.

I've been waiting quite a while for more '81, especially these two. March 10 being an absolute craklin' wildfire. While I enjoy 70's GD a little more reined in, not so for the 80s. It's a thicker sound that works more from the overall groove then the individual notes. So less need to keep an eye over the shoulder. In some respects, more akin to 60's primal Dead.

No digital download option?

I too am a little disappointed they didn't try for matrix recordings. That Dave's Picks 8 is one of the best sounding shows that have been released imo. I feel like they could do some amazing work with the cassettes and some good auds. But alas. This fills in a nice gap in my collection and I love the '81-'82 stuff i've heard. Excited for this one - something different. I'll wait to judge the artwork until I have the set in hand. I hope all the 80s fans are grateful for this one.

And we get the '69 people were predicting in the form of two shows in the new Dave's Picks. Great day to be a dead fan!

Sonically, other than the plangent treatment, the better matrix ones really have it all. While soundboards can sound really good, given the choice, I've tended to prefer the ambience and 'you are there in the audience' quality of the better crowd recordings- especially for 80s shows, a number of which I attended. Yes, the soundboards are much closer to that 'on stage' experience, but since (surprise!) I was never on-stage during a Dead show, I don't have the same deep emotional/nostalgic connection to the soundboard 'ambience.' Plus, and I find this much more with the two-track soundboards (vs multi-track ones), the sense of crucial depth-of-field presence I associate with live music is basically missing. Two-track soundboard recordings can still blow my mind, but excellent multi-track, crowd, and matrix recordings (in that ascending order) still more so. Still, I'm more than grateful for what we get, official releases or not.

1stshow - that's great, thanks very much! I had completely missed the announcement for Daves 43- I got the two emails about new releases, but I assumed one was a duplicate of the other announcing the 80's box. Anyway-order in for 69.

I was worried I was bothering you.
I didn't expect both announcements on the same day either.

5Branch- Surprised to see the digital option on both the box and the single show breakout.
I don't think my little computer could handle it! So I'm still a physical product buyer.
Besides I've got to fill that CD cabinet I bought last year.

Re-mastered from the original 2-track tapes I'm guessing? GD 2-tracks are generally better than ANYone else's multi-tracks, but they can still be lacking. As always, hoping there is plenty of guitar in the mixes.

Yes. Big Yup! I love the Dave's 8 Matrix and given what we know about some 80s soundboards, cassettes, etc., matrixing the whole lot would be a great idea. Someone mentioned Dr. Barry Glassberg's tapes as a good source and I do agree with that. I'll be happy either way though.

3/9/81
3/10/81
both are fantastic
9/20/82 I have never heard
9/21/82 I have heard but don't remember much about except the opening numbers (it's been years)
10/11/83 is joyous
10/12/83 I have never heard

Well done, PTB. Well done.

If you pass this one up, that's your business. But you are passing up some true gold.

Jamming "Draggin' the Line," by Tommy James and the Shondells. Groovy man.

Excited for this purchase - not my fave era (Jerry super high) and cassettes - so I haven't heard quite as much.

Fresh for the ears, looking forward to another premium package from Rhino. Don't think there could be a better company to curate the Dead's legacy. I feel blessed.

One of my old partners in crime, Dave R from Rockland County, was a really good taper and a classmate of mine at Duke. He and I would make copies of the shows he recorded on his Sony rig. Can't remember what mikes he used, but they were state of the art at the time. I had a Tandberg TCD 310. First gens off the master for me. That Tandberg was the best deck I ever owned. The run he did (Stanley Pittsburg, Cole Field House, MSG, Boston, and Utica) is absolutely primo. Which brings me to 03/09 and 03/10. These two shows were immaculately recorded by Mr. Dave R...his best effort IMHO. For me, the Rhythm Devils portion of both shows are the stand out. Maybe it's those JBL L45 Flairs withe the 15" woofers. Just like Kodo Drums!
Mrs. Big and I still get get a kick when Bob sings, during "Satisfaction" a confusion that comes out like "And I'm riding my TV". We'll see how these master cassettes stand up to the Dave R tapes. Where are you, Dave?

Having been to all six shows, each have their moments, but return of St Stephen AND Revolution encore the following night are worth the price of admission.

Yeah, I remember the artwork for Dave's Picks 1 really didn't do it for me at the time and I passed on the series for the first couple of years. Not a mistake that I will make again.

I'm glad to get some early '80s shows, but I am hoping the box is a compact size as my wife made yet another comment related to her feeling that my CD collection has sprawled beyond all reason and takes up too much space in the living room when I told her about ordering this box.

Tommy Shondell, nice. Picked up a small box set of just about all his stuff within the last year or so, The Complete Roulette Recordings of Tommy James and the Shondells 1966-1973, lots of good stuff on there including Draggin' the Line. Crystal Blue Persuasion was the song that first really caught my attention for Tommy James, that song just melts my mind in the most pleasant way. Trivia for you readers out there, in the book Sideways, Miles sang Crystal Blue Persuasion while doing karaoke early in the book, hanging with Jack and Maya at a bar in Napa Valley. OK movie, but great book. If you are, were, or may become a middle-aged guy, that book is worth a read, even if you saw the movie.

Imaginative choice of shows. Groovy artwork. And the first preview tracks sound good. Can't wait to hear samples from the other shows and see the box itself.

Check out the following article by writer Kendall Hamilton “The Great 'Touch of Grey' Debate” - an enjoyable read, and always nice to see the Dead get some contemporary press coverage.

70$ for International Shipping Charges (plus the importation fees...) it's a lot of money, but I couldn't resist and so I'm in.
Thank you #LOVEMYGIRL for the coupon!
And now I can go back to what I'm listening to these days: Miles Davis at the Fillmore 1970 (complete East and some West, when he opened for the Grateful Dead).

This is from my days on the road so I'm a happy camper. I look at the set list and they seem "normal" :-)

I like the cover art and I think it will great in hand in album size. This is an album cover that wouldn't work on a cd. The Black Album title might have worked and not already taken by two lesser groups !!!

But the Dead title is spot on, same as Listen to the River.

Thanks for the heads up. Interesting that Dave included one of the shows from the new box in the article - he's a sly fox...

Looking forward to an 80's Spanish Jam!!!

Nice selection of shows, now what source did they use? cassette tape? is this gonna be a matrix with some audience mixed in? who did the recording of these, I'm thinking Healy but just maybe someone else? As previously mentioned there are great audience recordings of these shows and they would really add life to these sound boards if that is what they used as their source.
I think I will wait and see how this one sounds before I plop down 180.00. Like Dennis, these are my glory days, and Jerry was on fire back then. I was at an 82 show in Nov and what I remember is that the band was fast and rockin and the blotter was speedy. Fond memories of these early 80 shows.

The good: I had a 20% discount coupon code.

The bad: For the first time in 20 years one Euro is worth less than one dollar, making this box just that much more expensive.

The bizarre: $70 for international shipping. Will it be sent across the pond using a trained dolphin or will they rent space on a cartel submarine. How can anyone justify charging that much for shipping?
