    "There’s the simple fact that the band members were old enough and experienced enough by now to be virtuosos on their instruments (what other group—rock or jazz or any other kind of music—could boast a trio of spectacularly singular talents such as Garcia, Lesh, and Weir?) but were still young enough to want to play and play and play some more, the happy, itchy inclination of youth. As a few of the shows in the Here Comes Sunshine boxed set attest, it wasn’t unusual for a 1973 concert to exceed four hours. And within the shows themselves, there are nearly nightly examples of hour-long orgies of tune-linked songcraft and juicy jamming." - Ray Robertson, HERE COMES SUNSHINE 1973 Liners
     
    8 years in and the Grateful Dead are a little bit of everything to everyone. They are putting up textures and tones of rock, of jazz, of country, with set-morphing vibes and long stretches of improvisations that are completely keyed into the sum of their parts. Keith Godchaux is here with his cascading notes. Donna Jean too. Both finding their footing and keeping things steady in the wake of Pigpen's unfillable gap. The spring of 1973 feels transformative for the Dead - no more so than the May and early June shows, complementary yet remarkably different, soon-to-be cornerstones of everyone's tape collections, and now, 50 years later, set to be part of the band's official canon.
     
    HERE COMES SUNSHINE 1973 is a limited-edition, 17CD boxed set with five previously unreleased, highly sought-after Dead shows, including: Iowa State Fairgrounds, Des Moines, IA (5/13/73), Campus Stadium, UCSB, Santa Barbara, CA (5/20/73), Kezar Stadium, San Francisco, CA (5/26/73), and Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium, Washington, D.C. (6/9/73) and (6/10/73).
     
    During the spring, the band road-tested most of the songs they would record that summer for WAKE OF THE FLOOD – their first studio album in three years – including early live versions of “Mississippi Half-Step Toodeloo,” “Row Jimmy,” “Stella Blue,” “Eyes Of The World,” and, the set’s namesake, “Here Comes Sunshine.” Also tucked into the collection are songs destined for the Dead’s 1974 studio album, FROM THE MARS HOTEL – “China Doll,” “Loose Lucy,” and “Wave That Flag,” a precursor to “U.S. Blues.”
     
    The new repertoire slipped neatly into the fluid setlists alongside songs honed on the 1972 European tour (“Jack Straw,” “Tennessee Jed,” “Brown-Eyed Women”), Chuck Berry perennials (“Promised Land,” “Around And Around”), classic country (“Big River,” “The Race Is On”), and incredible jam sequences: “He’s Gone”> “Truckin’”> “The Other One”> “Eyes Of The World.”
     
    Due June 30th, the individually-numbered, limited-edition 17CD set features vibrant graphics and custom-designed folios by GRAMMY® Award-winning Art Director Masaki Koike, a custom-dyed Tenugui and an exclusive poster featuring an illustration by Mary Ann Mayer, and liner notes by Canadian author Ray Robertson, The Owsley Stanley Foundation, and David Lemieux. And, of course, it features newly restored and speed-corrected audio by Plangent Processes, mastered by Jeffrey Norman.

    68 box

    I respectfully disagree with the suggested small format.
    We’re running outta time so there’s only so many more boxes to get released.
    Thus, I think it should be a big primal box:
    66-67: depending on what’s there, perhaps a couple discs?
    68: 8 discs of whatever’s top shelf, fragments, whatevs, release the best
    69: 6-8 discs or best quality 4 shows. Say half spring, half fall/winter
    70: best quality 3 or 4 shows

    Yeah it’s a few more discs than the usual 15 to 20, (this one’s 17, St Louie 20) but so what, the magnitude and significance of this should rival Europe, Spring 77, Spring 90, or Boxilla in its importance.
    I get some of you want it cheap, and are getting saturated on discs etc, but think of it this way, for some it might be the last box you buy, and it’s the favorite era for many of you, so why not go big, why be chintzy with such epic Dead? Make something that’ll take years to fully digest!
    Primal Baby!
    As they say on the mountain, go big or go home!

    Kiniggits looking strong!

    For me, The Dead really took off when Mickey Hart joined - about September 1967. I like listening to shows from1966 up to this date - but from then on - wow. Incredible concentration of energy which lasted from then up until the Workingmans songs started getting introduced half way through 1969. It does seem strange that there has not been a single Dave's Picks from this timespan. Even the 1969 shows that have been released have been from the end of the year. This late 1967-mid 1969 stretch was the music that turned me on to them in the first place.

    I would be all for a box with shows from 67-68. Or even a box full fragments since I think many of the shows are not complete in the vault. When I think of 1967, I immediately think of 3/18, and 9/3 as shows I would love to have. I am not sure if they are compete in the vault. Speaking of the vault, I think there is a little more in vault in the way of complete 1968 shows to compared to 1967, but then I don't really know. I am only inferring based on the available tapes. In any case, I think any combination of material from 1967 and 1968 would be a great box set to get put together.

    I hope it happens especially since we are getting 2 highly regarded shows in the Here Comes Sunshine box with 5/26/73 and 6/10/73. I feel Dave L and crew have really aimed at releasing many of the highly regarded shows and tours to this point and that is a credit to them. I think now would be a great time to dip into some of the "back in the day" stuff so since many of the proverbial big shows have made their way into our hands.

    Sounds like the '68 monster has awakened from its slumbers

    Love you folks! I'm thinking that mentioning '68 in a '73 thread is doing a cannonball in the deep end of the pool...

    And it turns into Cannonball City around here.

    Love it, man, love it. dmcvt has the right idea -- a modest box, even just 4-6 discs (okay, 10), with a couple shows, partials and fragments. And JimInMD has the timeframe just right. I think fall '67 to fall '68 would be the critical ignition period in question.

    Forensicdoc and I discussed the practicalities, which amounted to ... '68 shows seem to have often been 60-90 minute supernova affairs (someone has accurate data on this), perhaps due to the GD being on a multi-band roster? So a '68 DP is unlikely. Thus, a modest box would be the format. They've done the full 30 Trips thing-y, they've done the two-year regionally based '73-'74 PNW, they've done a few single year runs, like '76, '77, '78, '90. And we know they've got some '68 shows, partials, fragments still in the can (don't we?), so the questions are: When? And, How?

    Final addled thought: frankly, I don't see a ton of interest from the wider retail market for '68. So maybe it's another mini-box modeled on the FW69 output on a ltd edition basis? You know they've got to be talking about the OSF's June '68 tape discovery -- so either they put that out as a special release ala the single disc Family Dog/Great Hwy release from April '70 or they use it as a vehicle to deliver 'mo '68.

    My pitch to Dave & Co: '68 fans are getting on in years and ya gotta be young and fired up, at least in your heart, to fully appreciate the surging energy of '68. So, the famous question: "If not now, when?"

    I guess my prior post wasn't "all." Probably gonna ladle on a little '68 later today in honor of all mothers everywhere! (Not that I was personally involved, mind you...)

    8/23/68 encore

    Not forgetting the bonus tracks tucked away on the Anthem of the Sun cd included in the "Golden Road 1965-1973" box set. From 8/23/68 we have "Alligator-Caution-Feedback". Very high energy - a fantastic jam. I think these tracks were included on the digitally remastered cd of Two From The Vaults. It isn't on the vinyl version.
    A minute or so after Feedback ends, there is another track, not listed on the cover, "Born Cross Eyed".

    8.20 - 24.68 best fives days of music ever! Needs to be in a Box...

    Bear's Choice LP says "This has been re-mastered by David Glasser using Plangent Processes from the original analog 2-track tapes recorded live by Bear and has never sounded better."

    I don't think they would have just transferred the tracks used for the album, and with no CD version of Bear's Choice there has to be something else coming. Maybe a small Fillmore East Feb. '70 Box?

I was there almost 50 years ago.
I have a question I’m hoping someone can answer.
I ordered the 73 box set and was not sent a confirmation email yet my bank says I paid the money to Warner Music. No more telephone orders and no customer help by phone. I’ve contacted Mary E. a few hours ago but no answer yet. Does anyone know who I can contact to get my order number and an email confirmation.
First world problems, Oy Vey .
Hmmm , my first time in many months posting on this site.

Like last year the international shipping charge on this box is messed up.The international shipping charge on the site is $25 yet this shows up as $70 when it’s in your cart.Prohibitive.
Same thing happened last year until it was fixed after several months.Even worse a number of overseas customers got it for the $25 shipping charge but others can’t.The $70 is completely out of line with other companies shipping including Rhino.
Fix it!

I just ordered on Safari and had no problem.
Super excited to hear these shows. LOVE these box sets.

....in my DeadBase 50. It's starting to get very yellow with top shelf shows. Hopefully I live long enough for a Santa Fe one.
Personal poll I do.
We are blessed to be sure.
Spinning Portland 6.24.73 now. 😋.
Bless the tapers.
This being able to order or not being to order these releases across the internet universe is puzzling. Firewall thingamabobber? A tale as old as time.
Edit. Good to see old friends see their shadows on new releases.

I used PayPal with MSoft Edge. As I recall this has happened before... Chrome is my default browser. Either Chrome is experiencing heavier traffic than Edge or there is some issue with Windowpane... er, Windows.

I don't know, but I've been here before. I took the blue pill first, and when it didn't seem to be working, I took - the red pill.

And then when they both kicked in at the same time... it was 1973 all over again.

Gearing up for Aerosmith tickets this Friday. That last little tour Joe Perry did with Cherone and longtime bassist David Hull was awesome! Back in the Saddle again.

Ordered with Chrome. $220 after shipping and sales tax.

The Emails from dead.net go into my promo folder so I didn't see this until tonight and what a surprise. Love it. What a lineup of great shows. Kezar finally gets released. I think this show was included in the returned Betty's/Rex stash from ABCD.
Can't wait and we should have it by the end of June. And they moved the copies down to 10,000. Probably a good move.

Joe Ely--Eponymous debut and Honky Tonk Masquerade
John Raymond and Real Feels (Groovy modern jazz that reminds one of Herb Alpert)
Sonny Stitt--Stitt's Bits
Sarah Vaughn--many different albums
GD--DaP24 and Houston (11/18/72), in anticipation of the arrival of DaP46

Today I played and sang the four Gordon Lightfoot songs I know well on guitar, but can't bring myself to listen to his CDs just yet. I know that as a burgeoning radio listener in the late 70's, his songs really stood out as timeless and full of beauteous depth.

Sight unseen, this has to be the best box release in 12 years (E72 - 2011), especially if they sound better than what circulated on tape, which was A++ at the time. I think I'll definitely prefer this over GSTL (2017), so at the least best release in 6 years. Excellent, EXCELLENT picks Dave&Co!

Seems nuts that so many people are having difficulty ordering this. Maybe that's the real reason releases aren't selling out so quickly these days - you frequently have to have the patience of Job to get an order through.

Good point by Lebowski on the other board that if you combine this release with the PNW box, you can listen to 9 consecutive 1973 shows. The 73 shows in the PNW box get progressively better, set by set, as they progress - which bodes well for unheard shows in the new box.

After a few seconds of debate, there is plenty music here, these shows are too essential, a piece of the 1973 puzzle that was and would be missing. The RFK concerts alone. First saw them Baltimore spring 1973, was back in Maine for summer with a ticket for Watkins Glen, my brother was at RFK. Though I had been on the bus for years, 1973 was the break through in person. Ordering was a breeze, though no discount code (BD15etc) worked, didn't expect so. Used current Firefox browser, old Mac laptop. Email confirmation came immediately. Can't wait, 46 will help.

Fortunately, I was able to figure out my problem with ordering. I live in Alabama and for some reason the website would not calculate any sales tax for any Alabama address. Changed the address to a relative's address in another state and it calculated the sales tax and the order went through without any issue.

Won't let me comment on the 4-CD selection even after signing in to the store side. Strangely it showed the $7.99 std. shipping but then credited it back upon totaling when I ordered first thing yesterday. So I paid $41.41 for the 4-CDs.
Luckily found I have a primo tape of the Kezar show.
May have to taste that before this comes at the end of June to get ready.

FWIW my order went through with zero issues using Chrome and VISA payment. Sorry to hear so many are having issues.

Interesting thought, Daverock, about whether these kinds of issues might have contributed to the slow sales of DaP 45. A good Marketing Department would keep track of things like website visits and how many people put something in their 'cart' but then did not complete the purchase. Whether or not deadnet/Rhino has a good marketing department I have no idea. But I can imagine some percentage of people just saying fuggit and giving up if they were maybe a little bit on the fence about a DaP purchase and then had problem after problem trying to check out.

I wonder if this '73 box makes it more or less likely we'll get a live show to go with expected WOTF 50th reissue? Whatever. This set will be worth its weight in gold, AFAIC.

The obvious answer...leave Alabama! ( only joking)

Crow - normally it's the opposite with ordering music online now, as well. You only have to read an interesting article on a musician from the past. Hear a track that you may like on you tube. And within minutes find you have ordered their entire back catalogue in some lavish box set.

Interesting that Dave mentioned RFK as having had been under consideration for its own box. He also mentioned Bear recorded these, which is great. His mixes were pretty awesome and I'm guessing he also recorded the Allman's sets as well. Hopefully they'll release their shows to fill in the continuity of the two nights.

One surprise is the Kezar show isn't also being offered as a standalone as that's an essential show. Many of us have had the tapes for years and getting the Norman treatment was long overdue. This looks like another winner box set.

Really looking forward to the closing set with Dickey Betts and Jaimoe. Dickey was at a creative peak with Eat a Peach and Brothers and Sisters during this period. A lot to absorb from these particular shows.

Thanks Dave!

nitecat, I forgot Vguy's tip on the discount code when I ordered the box, but when I went back to order a standalone 6-10-73, I tried it -- nada. Think I got free shipping though (~$8). Not sure why.

6-9-73 was my second show and, as I've recounted countless (and painful) times, I had no means of staying for 6-10-73 (a Sunday) -- man, I was 15, my godfather was visiting, and I had school on Monday. We had on snearkers, jeans and t-shirts, no food, water or money (maybe $2-3) and we'd taken a blotter Satuday morning before the Dead and re-dosed that evening before the Allmans and we were fried by any standard. A very hot weekend!

In any case, my brother and his friends did stay and reported that it was an epic. I've been given "soundboards" of 6-10 that I just couldn't listen to due to tinny SQ, so this box is most welcome and undoubtedly a listen to 6-9 will jog some distant memories.

To the ailing "Steve" who posted that 6-9 was his first show -- I wish you a full recovery and the folks on this forum generally provide healing vibes as our brethren encounter difficulties.

Good thing there's two months before the box hits, cuz I'm gonna groove on DP 46 from fall '72 first.

Paz, HF

daverock or was it thatmike -- yeah, we generalized about loose, after hours jamming between the GD and the ABB but I'd bet that Disc 17 in this box is going to smoke!

I tried the discount code I see mentioned in this thread, but the webform wouldn't take it. However like HF I also seem to be getting free shipping if I put the box set into my cart. Hmm. "These are deep waters, Watson..."

Yeah I ordered the box before I checked the board here. Maybe next time I’ll wait a while before ordering……..

I think I must have used the code to ask them to add some on, rather than take some off.

HF - yes, I think we are lucky to have that jam between ABB and GD released now. And how great to be able to refer to a cd in a new Dead release as "disc 17".

With international shipping, import duty etc it'll come to over $300. I don't want or need it that much.

I think it's time they scrapped the limited edition nonsense, the last two boxes and Dave's Picks haven't sold out yet and we all know that they'll find an excuse to produce a few more if they think there's a demand.

In very early June of 1973, I was a 16-year-old teenager who got on the bus with radio airplay of Truckin'. My family was in the suburban Maryland area surrounding Washington DC and one of my older brother's friends told me that the Grateful Dead was coming to RFK Stadium and asked me if would I like to go. Yes! I would like to go. I originally wanted to go to the Saturday night show, on 6/9, but my older brother got 1st choice, so I took the Sunday show on 6/10/73. I don't remember too much of actually being at the show, but I do remember being in the stands and looking to the left all the time to watch the show. I do remember it was hot and humid and the smell of marijuana in the air.
Wow! My very first rock concert was a Grateful Dead and Allman Brothers show. I saw the GD many time after that and those shows were mainly in the 80s. I didn't really get into the Allmans as I did with the GD and I saw Wet Willie only 2 times after this event.

Yes, my dream came true! For a long time, I was hoping that 6/10/73 would be officially released and it has - part of this box set and as a standalone release on CD and 8 LP set.

Being retired, I really don't have the funds to buy this box, but I will buy the standalone CD set. I had all the GD shows in this box on CD-R but somehow, all but the 6/10 show remain along with the ABB set of that night. I also used to have the Kezar and Santa Barbara shows on cassette too.

Thanks Sheik Yerbones!
I am taking it one day at a time and enjoy each one to the fullest. Thanks for your well wishes and positive thought to help see me through.

Peace/Love, Enjoy This Beautiful Earth

Thanks VGUY72! Your thoughts and well wishes help see me through. I have been fortunate to see some hot shows on the east coast the past years when the Dead were still touring. Every day is a blessing on this beautiful God Given earth!

Peace/Love

art looks good like may 77, is he the same artist who did May 77? this boxset was well done for all: music, art, and 14cd in a small package with some of the best music they ever made!
relistening to the kezar show makes me now wandering about the previous show? All this was before the Pacific north west tour...the usual suspects (Lemieux & Norman) likely did another great addition to the GD collection. Mr Lemieux are you waiting for the tide? we miss your comments...

I am wondering if there is anyone else here in my situation.
I placed an order for the box and they have charged my bank account but I never received a confirmation email.I have emailed them but I haven’t heard of anyone that has got a reply from them in the last few days.
I am aware of at least one other person this happened to and it seems to only affect non US customers.Anyone?

Yes

I received my confirmation right away.

I would/wouldn't sweat getting it or not getting it. They seem to have no rhyme or reason for sending notices.

Oh, and UPS sucks. Nothing seems to move in UPS until the truck is filled.

Like the scene in Dark Passage with Bogart. He buys a bus ticket and ask when the bus leaves. Guy says when I call out bus for Benton. When's that he enquires? When I sell 3 more tickets.

It's a little-known fact, there, uh . . . Norm, that the folks who used the 15% discount code will have 15% of each disc erased before shipping occurs. It's a random 15%, so it might be an El Paso, or it might be the middle of an Other One . . .

Those who paid full price won't need to worry . . .
