    "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.

    Single-show packaging way better!

    I like to store my Dead CD collection chronologically on a standard large CD shelf ... the oversized CD cases that came with May 77, HCS 73, June 78, June 76 and the 8-27-72 have made that impossible. I've moved much of my Dead collection to a book shelf to accomodate the oversized containers. In addition to being difficult to store, the larger cases are just tremendously cumbersome to take discs in and out of. By comparison, I recently bought the standalone versions of 5-8-77 and 6-10-73 just to have an extra copy in case the discs in the box sets ever go bad (damage, skipping, whatever), and the packaging is just so much better ... the CDs fit perfectly on a standard CD stand and are much easier to manipulate. My vote would go for future box sets ditching the oversized CD cases and just giving us packaging like the 5-8-77 or 6-10-73 single release.

    Update on HCS damage: I've had WMG respond asking for pictures, I've had Marye ask for my details in the hopes of getting my Disc 4 from 5-13-73 replaced (what a disc to receive in defective quality ... it's only the best disc from 5-13-73 and one of the best discs in the entire box), and nothing of substance has happened of yet (no indication that I will definitely get the disc replaced, certainly no timetable, just waiting and hoping). Peace y'all

    Re: DMCVT and 1stShow

    Thanks for checking! We had some seepage in the basement, not too bad for 3" of rain in the second thunderstorm of the day. We also had a prolonged downpour of hail, probably 20 minutes of dime and quarter-sized hail. Never had that even in the worst NC thunderstorms. But no damage, and no trees down. Was surprised to see today that there had been rescues in town. Was out that night, luckily didn't see any water.

    Pretty awesome event you went to, it sounds like. Would love to run into our junior senator and Grace Potter.

    1stshow on Lost ending, I take Christian Shepherd at his word that "Everything that happened on the Island was real", it was the most important experience for all of them. Me and my buddies used to debate the meanings, and to me it seemed to be a stealth religious show that wasn't quite as stealth in some aspects of that like Locke vs Jack in Man of Faith vs Man of Science; I mean that is pretty blatant, but what it all means in the grand scheme is less obvious. Interesting that every single one of the main characters becomes a murderer at some point, yet they all seem to still be redeemed in the end. And the Church they end up in must be a Unitarian Universalist Church with Dharma Wheel, Star of David, Cross, Crescent and star on the walls, and Sayeed is among them. I think the Sideways Universe was Purgatory, and when they left in the Church, they moved on to their final destination.

    But the best thing about the whole show to me was John Locke, or Terry O'Quinn's portrayal. Then Michael Emerson as Linus. They really made the show for me. And of course the wonderful mysteries of the Dharma Initaitive and their reclusive funder, Alvar Hanso.

    And agree with Daverock that it would be nice for TPTB to acknowledge the pervasive quality control issues on this release, especially to say what they might do to ensure better experiences going forward.

    HCSS Box - My Take On It

    I finally made it through the last of this box set. I guess I was lucky, in that I only noticed two skips. I'm not that worried about it and won't ask for a replacement. This is just my own point of view, obviously, but I would much prefer to have these come in a plain brown box and secure packaging than to have "fancy" packaging and the discs getting damaged. These are collectibles, hence the numbered series but I'd imagine the collectable aspect of this particular disc set is rather minimal. Not that I plan on selling my GD collection but if I did I'd be a bit hesitant selling this one, based on the product quality (not the music) from word of mouth (or type on screen). I'm generally not a critical person and I'm not trying to be one now but for me anyway a few more questionable end results and I may just pass going forward. I likely have three copies of almost every show out there so it isn't like I need to buy these. I just like to. If it becomes stressful and I have to deal with issues though I won't bother anymore.

    That said I know that this issue wasn't intentional. People worked hard to get us something nice. So I have no animosity and I hope the next one comes together a little more effectively. I have been generally satisfied with all of the releases. Some have been a little big size-wise for me but that's okay. So if this is it for large scale issues I'm good. I wanted to throw this out just in case anybody does read these chat boards that works in the production line for the releases.

    That's all I have. Now I'll go back to being quiet.

    Before another box

    There has been a fair amount of posts on here about the 73 box from people who have had discs that won't play, and about the poor presentation of the box, which has further damaged discs. Going off all that, I would think it would be better if Deadnet gave us some sort of assurance that they had read these posts, and are going to try and iron out the problems before trying to flog another giant box.
    There's only one track in my box that won't play, and that's one of the Sugar Magnolia's - so it's not worth my while doing anything about it. But it's crazy to buy boxes and feel lucky if only one or two tracks won't play.

    Oro, I like the way your so called pointed little head works. Great list there and if the Primal 68/69/70 box was just 15 or so CDs, that would be enough for a good start, then they could do second batch, call it TOO #2. Alvar, hope all is well over there after yesterdays deluge, Middlebury and Rutland flooded again. Lagunitas makes a tasty seasonal triple IPA called The Waldos, is that what we talkin' bout here? (smiley face). And yes, I am smiling after attending a by invitation outdoor music event in White River Junction this afternoon that featured young musicians as well as Bernie Sanders and Grace Potter. Mostly apolitical, more about the arts, how important the arts are to school curriculum. Had a chance to speak with Bernie, then Grace. Had no idea she grew up legally blind. Made sure she knew how much I enjoyed her at Dear Jerry, doing Friend of the Devil with Bobby. Evidently her vision is better now since she drove her SUV off to Burlington for a second afternoon event. Still only half way into this HCS box, wicked busy.

    Where’s Waldo LOL

    Yeah I hear ya on that one. I mean, who do they think is reading this stuff ; )

    And yeah, PRIMAL DEAD baby, just get it over with: 50 disc 66-70, even if just fragments from early years.
    Something on the line of E72. I know some folks watching the budget and some get saturated on “stuff”, but really it’s the only way to pay proper tribute and as I say, tick tock etc…

    Let’s Say 2 more big boxes: Primal, and another thirty trips for the 60th in 2025, the rest can be plain Jane road trips or Winterland style but up the show count per box!

    Besides those 2 biggies, regular considerations could be:
    Fall/winter 71
    Fall 72
    Winter & Spring 73
    Summer 76
    Spring 78
    80? Alaska plus…(best of year mix including….the big G)
    81-83?
    Summer 85
    Fall 89
    Summer 90
    Fall 91
    Greek, Frost, ok, maybe another biggie, call it simply California!
    Just off the top of my pointy little head…

    Hey Oro! I'm up in T.O. keepin' jive alive! I hope all is well with you, too. Just a real busy summer, but all good. I trust your summer and your health is good.
    I agree on more boxes - get them out there. There are so many great suggestions from these posts, and it would be amazing to focus for a while on some of those early days of 1968-69-70. You had a comprehensive list a while back of all the shows from Dave’s banner back in 2011, and there is some real gold there. I agree too, Oro, on the booklets included, they always “set the stage”, but maybe it is an age thing, or some kind of eye test, but make the type a decent size to read, and perhaps black typeface on a white background, because it’s real Finding Waldo stuff trying to unscramble/decipher some of the print.
    But keep the boxes coming, but a little (a lot) of attention to Quality Control, and Customer Service.
    The recent release was a debacle, and I felt bad for anyone who got caught in that nightmare. Do better, Rhino/Dead.

    K.i.s.s. But more shows!

    Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like there’s a shelf life here as to how many more boxes they’ll end up releasing, so I’d like to see simpler, even plainer boxes, but with more shows!
    Yeah those boxes are nice (thanks again you know who for WL 73! ! ) but I’d like to see something like those, but say a little deeper with say six or 8 shows, instead of just 3…for this reason, that 2 show 89 was kinda a waste of a box. (Kinda pricey too).
    Hell, I wouldn’t mind more just music only, or like Alvarhanso, I like when they include a good book with nice pics.
    Yeah, bare bones, music, and ja book!

    Howdy Mike, I was wondering where ya were!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Opinions

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.

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?

Measures 10×10×3 btw. Tad larger than the GSTL box.

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.

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

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?

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.
