    "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.

    I can’t comment on the box, but the music is very good especially when you consider that they are demo recordings. I have streamed the contents on Amazon music over several days and enjoyed it tremendously.

    Bad Discs

    I have no knowledge of how the manufacturing process for these sets work, but as someone who had no issues with my set (#4615), I'm curious if the edition numbers for the people with bad discs are close together.
    Is there anyone who had bad discs within 100 numbers of mine?

    I agree on the stax box,,,, looks GREAT. I've been holding off, because of price. I've spent a lot of money on "stuff". Thought I'd try and hold off till Christmas and tell wife or son to get me a copy. Maybe get it before then? :-)

    Box set #07099

    It arrived at the Post Office on Friday the 7th but I have only listened to the first CD from 5-13 this far. It played okey all the way through.

    Normally it takes a while before I listen to all boxes all through because I don't fancy being forced to do it right away. Some boxes from the past are actually still unopened because I listen to a lot of other music and don't like to be forced to listen to that music either as fast as I can. Besides these boxes all are in limited edition and I prefer to purchase them when they are made available here on Dead net rather than buying them from eBay-"sharks" to "fantasy prices".

    Now, 1973 is among my favorite Grateful Dead years, so I will go through this box "pretty fast". If some CD's are malfunctions then I do hope they will be replaced without having to send the entire box set back to California.
    I have no complaints so far on the box set as a whole visually speaking, except maybe that some CD's are not attached to the actual covers. But I don't think those CD's have been sliding around in the mail. I found the inside stuff pretty tight packed after all.

    Well, so far I feel good about the whole thing. Okey, so the "book" is only twenty-six pages but that doesn't matter to me. I seldom find time to read the thicker books that come with the box sets, so twenty-six pages are good to me unless the books are made up of mostly pictures.

    Update! I had to know ... fourteen of seventeen CD's was read properly by my CD-player and three was read after some searching by the player. All seventeen started properly on track 1 though. This is all I can do for the moment. Hopefully they all will play through in a normal way. We'll see.

    Box did arrive

    8 out of 17 discs will need replacement. Was attempting to film an unboxing and instead filmed the state of the discs immediately out of the box. I was able to get everything ripped, no chance to listen to all 19 hrs 46 min to see if it ripped correctly. I did notice issues ripping a few disc's. Reinserted them, tried again, seemed to work. Will find out in days ahead if any skips or other issues. I think I still have a couple skips on June 76 box to correct on one show, come to think of it.

    Oh, and a complaint I haven't seen here or on Steve Hoffman is that my poster was bent. They didn't make it flush, and the fold is in the middle of the poster. It sucks because there are only two "extras" in this box and one of them was deformed by poor quality control. And just under half the discs. Luckily, had some alcohol wipes from work for the few glue blobs. Just glad I have a video I'm going to include in my request for replacements, but disappointed my unboxing of Here Comes Sunshine turned into a sad Samba in the Rain instead. So far, through one disc of Des Moines, the sound is good. Not sure I'd go as gaga over it as I have seen, but also haven't hit the Betty portion.

    Born Cross Eyed. You got a grate first concert!...

    ....my first rock concert was Iron Maidens Powerslave tour. Blew my 15 year old mind. I was also escorted there by my high school friends mom, who told us when she dropped us off, "be safe and have fun!" It was the first concert for both of us and we abided by her wishes. We said to ourselves, "We need more concerts!" after that show.
    And 55 year old me still agrees.
    You toob that Powerslave tour. Great one to pop ones cherry at.
    Marco and I still go to shows. He went all in. Mtheoryaudio on IG. That's him. Heavy metal to the end.

    Update - glue removal PSA

    Couldn't be patient any longer so went to the big city to get 91% isopropanol aka 91% isopropyl alcohol. Worked like a charm on the glue - took 2 or 3 quick attempts with a couple/few drops each time and a soft cloth to remove all residue and the cleaned discs look "min"t. Yay, very much Yay! Funny thing was, one of the specklets is not glue (the one the I discovered on Disc 1 of Iowa) - it had a slightly different/lighter appearance, maybe its acrylic or maybe its a true imperfection on the playing surface, whatever it is it, is totally impervious to the isopropanol. It was the first one I tried and I thought "this is a failure" but when I tried the others they cleaned right off. So not all spots are necessarily "glue".

    Like I said, all discs "ripped" but there were sonic anomalies where the spots are. With Iowa Disc 4 the glue speck was in Sugar Magnolia and the initial ripped copy had a ~10 second gap, and funnily, after the track was "finished", the last ~10 seconds of the track were played again. Just played the cleaned CD and play through was clean like I hoped.

    Anybody who got a defective/damaged CD should feel free to ask for a replacement no questions. I'm programmed to try to fix something if it can be fixed. Definitely will be asking for a replacement of the Iowa Disc 1 with the mystery substance/imperfection and in my reach out I'll detail every disc that had an issue. Before that I need to listen to all the ripped tracks to make sure there's nothing else lurking that I missed, as was the case with that Disc 1. At this point I just have to shake my head at the whole spectrum of ongoing issues with these releases. The only other time I had a glue issue was way back with the Wall of Sound Road Trips, Disc 1, a big ole smear of it on Playing in the Band. Didn't know how to clean it and asked for a replacement copy and that one also had Disc 1 glue but somehow I managed to still make it play (not sure how).

    DJMAC (and other ALAC folks) - glad to hear that help is on the way!

    R5Z - Yeah IOWA!! I fell in love with the jam sequence ca. winter 2010 as it was in regular rotation for a repeated night time red rock desert commute back and forth to Escalant. So awesome to have this show released and in this dream of a box set no less. I found myself streaming part of that '73 Indy show yesterday afternoon. Another great Fall '73 show. Hadn't realized they did a sweet Playing sandwich around Mississippi 1/2 Step and Big River.

    Jeff Smith - Yeah Boulder was awesome!! So glad you made it. Now I'm wishing I was at the Gorge.

    Charlie3 - funny that you should mention that WattStax concert - recently came across the film footage of Rufus Thomas performing Funky Chicken and my jaw dropped. What an awesome rave up it is and the whole crowd scene is glorious. It had me looking into that WattStax, never had heard of it.

    Arrived in my "mailbox" on Friday, on the initial inspection was a small indent on the upper right front corner, no big deal after I unwrapped the cellophane shrinkwrap and slid the outer blue "collar" off and back on several times. Only one disc was out of its protective pocket, disc 1 of 5/13/73, all the rest are in perfect condition.

    The first show I played was 6/10/73 - was my first rock concert and my first Grateful Dead show. It sounds much better than my previous tapes and CD-Rs of this show.

    On page 25 of the essay booklet in the Jonathan David Sabin photo, if I recall correctly, I believe I am in this photo, although obscured. I remember seeing the guy standing on the sound reinforcement tower scaffolding with the white tee shirt. I remember the guy sitting in our row of seats not wearing a shirt and a short beard. I am hidden behind the shirt. I can see my cousin who was a student at American University at the time, making this box set a really valuable time tunnel for me. By the way, I was a mere 16-year-old teen who was escorted into this event.
    I first heard Truckin' on the radio back in early 1971 and that was the bus. Although the first time I heard Truckin', I thought it was a new Steppenwolf song as I thought session musician Howard Wales sounded like Goldy McJohn at the time.
    A great big thank you to Dave Lemieux, Mark Pinkus, Ivette & Doran, and whoever had the final say to include the aforementioned photograph.

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?

....thats gotta be a record.

Measures 10×10×3 btw. Tad larger than the GSTL box.
And....it's beautiful.

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.

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.)

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.

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

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.
