“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.

LTTR Box

Yes, The Listen to the River Box has not sold out yet, which doesn't surprise me and I think is good for people that didn't buy it right out of the gate.

The days of selling boxes out in a day might be over (Get Shown the Light), unless they release something like the full run at Winterland October 74 with video.

That looks like good advice. I'm not so sure that this box will take as long, or longer, to sell out than the St Louis box though. For the simple reason that I suspect a lot of people on here prefer buying copies of shows that they attended rather than those that they did not. And more people who buy such things saw them in 81-83 than did in 71-73, I should think.

International Customers Who Have Ordered Box

My advice to anyone who was desperate enough for this that they caved and paid the $70 shipping scam is to cancel your preorder.
It won’t sell out anytime soon.If the St. Louis box is still available after a year this will be available for at least as long.
Tell them in your cancellation that the reason you are doing it is because of the shipping charge.Maybe loss of business will force them to address this.
Imagine how you’ll feel if they “review” their shipping charges in October and adjust them back to cost.That is a lot of money you have given them.

MSG Box

I too am excited for the MSG Box. Actually, the 3-10-81 show was my first which I attended with two of my 4 older brothers and our younger sister... very special!
The show itself was excellent! Underrated i'd say, in part due to the opening equipment bomb during Half-Step. But after that, the show was EXCEPTIONAL! Note the 24 tracks... you know the boys were there to PLAY! ...and play they did... The recovery from Half-Step I thought was pretty cool and then to launch into Franklins Tower :-) you could feel the Garden begin to rock (literally). The Lazy Lightening>Supplication was ripping I though as was BEW and DEAL to close out 1st set. The Scarlet>Fire was tight! very underrated (IMHO) and then the back end of the 2nd set was hot! A NYC Truckin' is always special but what is not reported here was the tease of (my favorite!) Smokestack Lightening :-) I was only 14, but I looked at my oldest brother without saying a word, jaw on the floor...Could this be happening?!?!?! :-) Unfortunately not, but the tease was something I'll never forget. The Sugar Mag was electric and then the two encores were the perfect balance of Rockin Garden followed by the gentle sendoff of Brokedown Palace... goosebumps! This show is underrated. You will totally dig this show! Mama, Mama many worlds I've come Since I first left home... (to see the Dead!)

A Little Taste...

...of the listening party from March 9, 1981 has me starting to really anticipate this box. Sounds pretty good on the computer speakers, high hopes for the big boy stereo. When I started listening to the dead in 1983 or so, Dead Set was in regular rotation on my morning ride to school listening, and most of the bootlegs that I subsequently acquired in the next couple years were from the early '80s, so this will be a great addition to the current collection. Similar to Spacebro, the first dead related show that I saw was JBG at Orange County Community College in Middletown, NY, summer of 1984, so my dead show attendance was mostly mid and late '80s, but I dig the way that early '80s stuff sounds.

Picked up a couple of the Neil Young archival releases lately, the 1971 solo acoustic ones, but that Neil Young and Crazy Horse live at Fillmore East is on my list of things to pick up, checked out a couple of tracks on utoob recently and dug the extended Down by the River. Good stuff.

Crazy Horse at the Fillmore

Was carpooling with a buddy who who had this on his streaming service. A great set.

This MSG box has me pretty excited. My first show was 7-1-84 and the years preceding were the Deeds general sound coming into the live experience. The momentum from there real built up for them musically from that point until about the time Bruce's semi-regular tenure ended in 92.

Time Fades Away

Thanks for the heads up Colin, it's one of my favourite Neil albums. It's a shame that it's just the original lp and not a big box, they must have recorded a lot of that tour. I'd buy a 17cd box of the Stray Gators in a heartbeat.

Stamping ground

That festival, at Kralingen in Rotterdam, just down the road from where I now live, was at the same time as the Bath Festival of Blues and Progressive Music 1970 in Shepton Mallet and many acts appeared at both. I had a great time at Bath and still consider that the line-up was the best of any festival. I was unaware of the Stamping Ground Netflix documentary. I shall look out for that. I do have a 3LP set of Kralingen which has a good selection of the bands that were present.

52 years ago last month! Wow! Where does the time go?

I can see for Miles and Miles and…

Dennis - Gotcha! I knew you got the Record Store release, now I get it is a “keeper”. Take heart, I think - I think - the new Miles Bootleg Volume 7 - due this September - includes this release on Disc 3, or at least is recorded at the same show.
Miles is among a select group of artists with a long lineage and a wealth of recordings, like Dylan, the Stones, and our beloved Dead, whose vault of unreleased material, both live and studio, would be absolutely Holy Grail stuff to get at.
Choose wisely, indeed…

At a loose end

Despite having a mountain of new music CDs to listen to I found myself looking at Netflix(UK) randomly and I noticed a documentary ‘Stamping Ground’ this covers a festival in Holland in 1970. It has a eclectic choice of groups. With 20 minutes to still watch my, admittedly faulty, memory has from the US Santana, Canned Heat, Country Joe, It’s A Beautiful Day, The Flock, Dr John, The Byrds and Jefferson Airplane and from the UK Al Stewart, Family, Pink Floyd, Tyrannosaurus Rex and Soft Machine. It’s helped to pass an hour and a half. As the world gets ever more ridiculous music helps to keep me on a even keel.

EDIT Having just seen the credits I realise I had forgotten the UK group Quintessence.

No relation to the above but I notice that Neil Young is finally releasing ‘Time Fades Way’ as a stand alone CD on August 12th. I have the LP but no way to play it.

EDIT 2 Looking at the end credits I notice the guitarist and singer with T. rex was identified as Mark Polin!

It's Finally Here

First in? Must be because this was hard to find.
Tip off on the DaP42 thread.
Cheers

Box set

Phew. That's saved me a few bob. Enjoy

Cool

Fingers crossed for high quality source tapes.

In and Out of the Garden

And Away We Go!

Me Too Docmarty

But I had to get the 3-CD.
Just because.
And it has an interesting segue with a Sampson.
Cheers

Funny?

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.

Woo Hoo!

Plangentized and Normanized

Well....

....did anybody see this coming?

Source tapes

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. 😬

Nice, but s/h is 500% higher than last year!

70 USD for int'l shipping!

Last year we paid 16 USD for the 20-CD St Louis box... Sad...

Cassette masters

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.

Wah wah wah - signed, another picky deadhead

Garden Meltdown

I had a cassette of 10/11/83 set II. One of my first tapes. It was labeled "Garden Meltdown". It does sound lysergic!

For me personally, although…

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.

Daves Picky

Docmarty-there speaks my mind. I was getting a bit worried with all this talk about a 69 box. Wouldn't mind a telescope, though.

I was kind of expecting this…

I was kind of expecting this, but I thought it would be all the 80's MSG shows.

Daverock

Better go over to DaP43 quick if you want some 1969.
Will sell fast I'd predict.
Very early acoustic set too!
Cheers

I...

Was NOT expecting this!!!!! This was a an excellent run of shows.
So, all that is left to be said is
PLAY DEAD!!!!!!

Looks Cool

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?

Artwork

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.

Here!

...just take my money already, dammit!

Sixtus

Wow!

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.

First Thoughts

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.

careful with those speakers...

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?

Shut up and take my money

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!

Absolutely agree re. the matrix recordings

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.

Many thanks

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.

Just.absolutely. perfect!!…

Just.absolutely. perfect!!
Garden always rocked in the old times.
Now get off my lawn.

Daverock

You're welcome!
What are friends for?
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.

Cheers to all on this exciting day!

Re-mastered from the…

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.

MEH, Pass. Crap art work.

International Shipping

Please explain the huge increase in International Shipping Charges.

"You are there" Matrices?

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.

YAHOO!

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.

GOD BLESS THE GRATEFUL DEAD!!!

I'm down with this...

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.

\m/

Draggin the line is

a pleasant earworm

Listening to it in 30 seconds...

Spring Run '81

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…

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.

You won't be disappointed! …

You won't be disappointed! 10-11-83 is worth the price of admission alone from beginning to end

Artwork Influences

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.

12,500 Fans of Early Brent Can’t Be Wrong

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.

No, not bothering me at all - you have a great attitude, and thanks for the compliment.

Splendid!

Hopefully this is only Vol. 1!

Seen On The Daily News Wire

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.

International Shipping Charges

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).

Happy, Happy

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.

@ ThatMike - Touch article

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!!!

the return of St. Stephen

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.

Different Years

Someone commented on this, I’ve become a big fan of this format. At any rate, lots of song variation. Here’s some that stand out from quick glance through:

3 China-Rider
3 Truckin
3 Touch
3 Throwing Stones
2 Scarlet-Fire
2 Estimated
2 He’s Gone
2 Stella Blue
2 Black Peter
2 China Doll
2 O1
Terrapin
Shakedown
Help-Slip-Franklin
Jimmy
Dupeee’s
Brokedown Palace
Crazy Fingers
Deal
St. Stephen
Might as Well
Sailor->Saint
Lightning->Supplication

The good, the bad and the bizarre...

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?
