"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!

Primal Dead

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.

67-68

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".

Before 30 trips there was a Road Trips, Vol 2 No 2, 2/14/68 Carousel Ballroom. 14 years ago. I've been looking for a copy of Two From The Vault on CD, I don't seem to have that in my collection these days... does anyone know if Rhino released that one on it's own?

I wonder when....

They will finally cave for the ancient shit.. just a little 1967 and 1968 please.. with a sprinkle of '69 for good measure.

When was the last 68 release besides 30 trips anyway? Dicks Picks 22, Kings Beach Bowl?

8.68, Bear's Choice 50th

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?

Just seen pictures of the set..

And it doesn’t look like $70 worth of postage IMHO. Jeez I’m becoming an old whinging pensioner.

Happy Will

Box looks fairly compact. Agree the postage seems high. This is going to be an awesome box. Think hard about getting caught outside looking in simply over some postage. Less than 1000 left. I'd smash the "Buy" button. Don't think you'll regret it in the long run.

Box gifts

I was thinking this morning, that if they want to put extraneous gifts in box sets, something useful would be appreciated. A couple of pairs of socks would come in handy.

Ha Ha DaveRock

A couple of pair of socks, ruthless!

I agree for the most part I want standardized box sizes to make storage more manageable. I also understand, though, that some of this stuff provides income for other artists. For one, I havent ordered one glass or shirt or playing cards. Looking at deadandcompany site, I think their tshirts are more my style. The last tour tie-dye has me thinking about pulling the trigger, even though my last (GD) show was 34 years ago. Have seen Bob and Ratdog and Phil and Friends shows.

Gifts

I'm always hoping to find a little paper in there...

Downloads

Stillwaters wants a downloadable version of the Mickey Hart mix of Workingman's Dead and Garcia (50th Anniversary Edition)!!!

Stillwaters is getting upset!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bonus schwag....

....I liked the tickets that came in the Spring '90 boxes.
Spinning Dicks 28 SLC 2.28.73.
New box image looks tight!

Can't Wait

Super stoked for this box set.
Recordings from 73 and 74 always used to be hit or miss with me.
Most sounded flat and the vocals were paper thin (especially the 74 WoS tapes).
But the Winterland 73 box was a revelation.
As was Dave's Picks 5.
Now quite a few 73 (and 74) shows have become some of my favorite repeat plays.
Looks like it'll be arriving close to my birthday, too.
A week off + new GD box set = bliss.

This Box is going to be awesome

Fingers crossed for safe arrival, and no defective, damaged, or missing discs.

Based on the photo, the CD’s in cardboard sleeves suggests that the Box won’t be as tall as the May 77 or July 78 Boxes, maybe a little bigger than the wooden Warlocks 89 Box.

Shipping Notification

Nothing from dead.net yet, but UPS has notified me that my shipment from WEA Gnarlywood is on the way and is scheduled for delivery next Friday. Yeaaaaah boy!! Bring it!!!

Woohoo!!!

I also got an email from UPS that I have a package coming from Gnarlywood to be delivered by 6/30.

Oh shit....

....notifications coming out already? 🥳.
Gnarly.

Help on the Way

…though we tried/hopefully to upgrade to just UPS so we don’t have to deal with our PO nightmare 🤞
It’d be sweet: 73 box o dead and D&C steaming 3 nights. Proper holidaze 🤞

Just got mine!!....

....the 28th.

UPS/Gnarlywood and Dead.net

Yup, got notifications from both.

Shipping notice!

So happy. I feel like, in the past, Dead products have shipped on the release date, or after the release date. Great news. I enjoy all the releases, but I’m really looking forward to this boxed set.

I just realized....

....the Iowa show is a four-disc show.
Iowa gets all the good ones.

Here Comes Sunshine box set

TheRelayer74: Hi everyone I am new to the site and I wish to buy the Here Comes Sunshine cd box set I have not set up an account yet and I am from the UK I wish to know if there are any problems shipping to the UK from the online store what service they use and what are the possible postal charges many thanks Kevin

Go to the thread on Steve…

Go to the thread on Steve Hoffman Forums about this set.You will come across a code that gives you a 25% discount and reduces international shipping charges by 75%.It was still working a few days ago.
Bear in mind you unlucky Poms get hit with outrageous customs duty charges.

Sure the notices are easy!

Got mine also,,,, now lets see how long it takes :-)

Vguy and Iowa

Iowa may get all the good shows, but, the rest of the time they're stuck being Iowa!

Discounts on Steve Hoffman

Things like that are quite annoying. These things are expensive if you live in England - or anywhere else outside the U.S. come to that. Why they have to play these sort of games I'll never know. Offer a discount or don't, surely.

Having said that, I have always been impressed with customer service on here. The boxes and cds are always well packed, and while they seem to take a long time to arrive, it just seems like that because Americans get there's, and review them right away. You are then expecting yours in a day or so. And it obviously takes a bit longer to get to where I am than somewhere in California. I don't have a problem with that at all.

Occasionally a cd or L.P. is faulty - but very rarely. Only once in both instances for me. And on both occasions, I got replacement discs sent out. Again, living a long way out, it might seem to take a while before they turn up - but turn up they do.

There are hidden costs with duty, import charges etc, and these seem to vary depending on where you live in England, which is a bit odd. These box sets are appreciably more expensive than any others I buy. As are the Dave's Picks.

I've ordered this set. If you like 1973, and can afford it - way to go. As was said earlier, all box sets have shows, or parts of shows that are less than stellar. They all add to the whole, though. I'm waffling so I'll go! But that'y my experience in a nutshell.

Records at same time?

I noticed my order says cd and vinyl shipping at same time, but web page says 7/28?!

Opinions

UPS has my Box

I upgraded to UPS Ground for $7.99.
I decided that this Box is too important to be passed off to USPS.
UPS has to recalculate the delivery date, so I don’t know yet when that will be. But it better be before the day that was estimated for USPS delivery.

International shipping/running out of shelf space:
It is being offered as a download.

Delivery date updated....

....to tomorrow?! 🤯

It's......here

Apparently it's been waiting for me at home since yesterday in San Dimas, CA. I'm out of town until monday night....just gotta wait a couple of more days. Hope yall get yours soon!

Since HST was collected on…

Since HST was collected on this set along with shipping to Canada I’m hopeful UPS will not be able to charge me any extra fees as there should not be any tax for them to collect?

It's here!!....

....thats gotta be a record.
#9773.
Measures 10×10×3 btw. Tad larger than the GSTL box.
And....it's beautiful.
First stop? The Hawkeye State.
No spoilers, but it comes with a couple of unexpected treats.
I'm putting one of them to good use already.
And no. It's not 4 way windowpane.
'Cries in fractal visuals'....

Minor spoiler....

....Bobby snuck in a Des Moine in Truckin'.
Fast TLEO's are the better TLEO's.

And Loose Lucy ...

at the faster tempo as well.
Cheers

More spoilers please

What's it sound like then?

Found Mine in the Bushes...

...out by the mailbox. #5711 is ready for action. Glad it didn't rain last night.

here comes sunshine 1973

i only ordered this on friday 6/23...got a confirmation but tried using the order number to find the status but it says no such order exists should i call them? amazingly it reads as though some have received this already in CA i persume.

6-10-73

The 4CD release doesn't seem to have a comment section.
Ordered the first day and my confirmation says release date 6-30-23.
Store page lists release date as 7-28-23. Which is it I wonder?
Guess I'll find out eventually. Good to see the box is shipping on time for once.
Cheers

1ST SHOW

The June release date is for cd. July is for vinyl. This has become a common practice lately.

A box in the bushes

It's amazing what you can find in the garden if you look closely enough.

A box in a bush....

....is worth two in the hand.
Re; The Sound?
Same as it always was. Pristine. Although, there are a couple tracks so far that have that reverberation/echoey/tinny thing that I've heard on other '73 releases at the start of early set songs. I wonder 🤔 what that is?
(I'm through Iowa and Santa Barbara so far.)

shipping notice drops

Tracking number created, via UPS, so a day or two before delivery date prediction. Down in the flood up here in Vermont, deluges on the hour. Listening to first night of Dead&Co. at Fenway, lovely.

Well?

They've had my money almost 2 months. No shipping notice yet. Papa Bear, have I been a bad boy?

UPS indicating Friday

RIF LOL - thought it was today - it's Friday by 7PM - sets up a great weekend!

Looking forward to it!

Bad Boy Gary

Gary, this is happening to you because you skipped past that "Victim" the other night . . . :)

Well (part2)

Same boat as Gary Ordered 2 May but no shipping notice or email from dead net. Nothing on my UPS account. Logged in and its "IN Progress". I guess i should've paid the express shipping in stead of standard . BAd boys forever

Everyone's Sunshine will arrive! :)

The box isn't even officially released until Friday . . . same day as the newest GarciaLive!

There's some newly-remastered Dixie Chicken and Sailin' Shoes CDs this month, each one complete with outtakes and live material. Those (like this box of Sunshine) are also through Rhino, who really take care of us folks who love old and/or obscure rock-n-roll.

Dead Head Man

I always can be wrong, but, my calendar say 7/31 on Jerry stuff.?!..

The Little Feat stuff,,,, out takes are always a crap shoot, interesting one was a demo of Easy to Slip for, get this, The Doobie Brothers! Two remastered originals,,,, I can't hear a difference from memory of albums,,, they sound good. I wanted for the two live shows,,, be warned they're short shows.

Anybody have thoughts about the stones re-re-releasing 40 licks,,,, 4 lp set, price ok,,,,, thinks it's worth having?

I did order from Real Gone Records Rupert Holmes porno sound tracks! Hoping to be one of the first 200 so I get a signed copy!

..... If You Like Pina Coladas and listening to porn,,,, then you must be blind?

Rhino store

Get the Little Feat WFC Box if you don’t have it.

I’m looking forward to the remastered Ziggy Stardust Blu-ray and soundtrack.

This probably isn't going to go over well....

....but I just ordered it regular shipping. Doh!

other boxes

I'm looking forward to the new box set of the first few albums by the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band - due out tomorrow. Legendary L.A psych band from the 60's.

I'm also wavering about the Jimi Hendrix At Winterland October 1968 box, which came out over 10 years ago. Prior to it's release, I got a grey area box called "3 Nights at Winterland", on Reclamation Records, which, unlike the official box, features all 6 shows. I have always assumed the Experience Hendrix official box has better sound - and now it's getting harder to find I am thinking perhaps I should snap up a copy before it disappears altogether.
Maybe I should just be satisfied with what I've got - apart from three songs, the one I've got sounds like an official release.

Dave Rock- WCPAEXB

Thanks for the heads up Dave on the new Artex box.
I just put on my Childs Guide tee and pressed buy!

Shipping/Conekid

Received my notification last night. UPS Surepost! Why?
Conekid, I know you are an expert in this area, so is there anyway to change this to a straight UPS delivery and aviod the USPS part. I logged on to my UPS account but do not see an option to change it.
Appreciate any help you could provide.

UPS USPS

DEADVIKES go into your UPS account and when you track your package ( Dead 73 box ) there will be an option to upgrade delivery change it to UPS GROUND I did and it skips the USPS transfer and I got it one day faster it will cost $6.99
