    "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.

    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.”

    Funny enough, partly was a reference to things could be worse, as I was playing Here Comes Sunshine, while seeing the wake of the flood in VT, though nowhere near bad floods, this was on 4 outside Woodstock. And the places where so much devastation has occurred: Ludlow, Barre, Okemo, Londonderry, Montpelier I was at just a week before the floods taking pictures of the beauty. So, by comparison a box set with over half the discs scratched before I got them is small potatoes, and the music, when ripped carefully at 1x if need be, is glorious. Also, String Cheese was playing their song Lost as I typed. And my wife and I were supposed to be there, but now that we're two weeks from closing and moving from Boston to VT, we couldn't make (excepting the wonders of livestreaming) an epic night with John Fogerty and Cheese crushing the second set and encore at Red Rocks. The Lost reference is an added bonus

    For sure, the scratched discs is a bummer, and one I'm finding bothersome as I listen, finding skips in what seemed like good rips. Luckily just a handful of tracks after spending time extracting carefully the first time around in Windows Media Player, though not checking ones I had to re-rip. Had to download Exact Audio Copy, which I hadn't used in over a decade, but it took care of the problems I've found thus far. The funny thing is even some of the discs in better shape had skips, and some of the most scratched had no problems ripping, and no skips in the playback. Life is just full of little ironies like that.

    But the great aspect of this box is the music. Wonderful, vibrant, adventurous music being played by wonderfully vibrant and adventurous young men that were also haunted by the spectre of their fallen former leader just weeks before these shows. One of the great joys of this box is finally a set of releases that really lets Keith shine in the mix. His work on Loser is fantastic, little nuances one never hears on other releases, even multitracks, even Europe '72 Complete. Here, he is fully engaged in the musical conversation. Not really driving it like Jerry, Phil, and Bob, but much more emphatic and colorful in what he does add in these shows. And it sounds even better and more prominent than the three shows that follow that were released in PacNW. I'll be the brave one to test that statement following this listen and re-rip. Since somebody mentioned now 4/2 through 6/26 was all released now, figured I'd load up a USB with that plus DaP 16 3/26/73 (Somebody's gotta listen to that WRS Prelude> Dark Star> Eyes>Playing, and DaP 32 3/24/73 with its own He's Gone> Truckin> 20 min Jam> 4 min Dark Star> Sing Me Back Home to slog through as well. But with DaP 4/2/73, we do get to check yet another recordist: Rex Jackson. (*whispers* this tape may be the best of them all soundwise, if not even close to my favorite playing wise)

    Also, Kezar sounds soooo much better than the tape I had 25 years ago, which was one of my first 3 Dead tapes (just sets 1 and 2, I think), and that I think was a KSAN broadcast, so not Betty's wonderful work. Digging 6/9, and for the first time in the box, Phil has that richer sound, and that's because it's Bear recording now. This is such a fascinating box.

    From Des Moines...Holy Mamma Daddy! That's one for the books. I love the way the band was really starting to stretch out the transitions. Sounded way better than when I caught the Eyes/China in the car the other night. I will use this one to turn others into our way of thinking, if you know what I mean, and I think you do.

    weather report for Oro

    Very intense line of Tstorms went through last night, flash flood alerts of course, high wind forecast, up to 1" hail. Two funnel clouds seen but no touchdowns. Thousands of people lost power, Burlington area was spared, it was not big bad here but the thunder and lightning was wild. Major crop damage for flooded farmers near rivers which is most in this hilly place. One death from drowning now confirmed. Still lots of roads closed, some bridges out, people stranded but a wonderful outpouring of volunteers, people helping people in most affected towns like Montpelier, Barre, Ludlow.

    I was fortunate enough to have met Sam at Lockn Music Festival when I purchased his book. He took the time to discuss a few things, tell me some stories and take a picture with me, which of course he insisted it be taken with the two of us inside a large picture frame so he said "you've got to have a picture frame if we're going to take a picture!" I will have to dig up that picture from my digital storage and properly frame it. RIP Sam. You lived quite a life! Thanks for doing all you did in your time. Peace

    Your solution worked quite well. I used CVS Brand isopropyl alcohol 91% and CVS cotton balls and that removed the glue. It saves me time so I don't have to wait 5 to 6 weeks or more for replacement discs from WEA/Rhino/Dr. Rhino. The affected track was Playing In The Band - it would skip at about 15:00 and then stop. It plays well now.
    Thank you.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

....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.)

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?

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.
