    Announcing July 1978: The Complete Recordings

    We’re pleased to announce JULY 1978: THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS, five incredible unreleased shows and the first official release from the long-lost tapes, recently returned to the Grateful Dead’s vault. Follow the Dead on a sonic journey through a superb selection of settings, an often epic adventure that finds them winning over Willie and Waylon fans in Kansas City, conjuring charisma in Omaha, and elevating the Red Rocks beyond their already spiritual planes. With five distinct performances painting the masterpiece of 1978, Betty Cantor-Jackson's always-pristine soundboard recordings, and the "hall-of-fame pedigree" of the Dead's first-ever shows at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre, this is one release that far exceeds excellence in music, sound quality, and rarity.

    Limited to 15,000 individually numbered copies, JULY 1978: THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS includes Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, MO (7/1/78), St. Paul Civic Center, St. Paul, MN (7/3/78), Omaha Civic Auditorium, Omaha, NE (7/5/78), and Red Rocks Amphitheater, Morrison CO (7/7/78 and 7/8/78) - all of the performances in this collection are drawn from the band’s master soundboard recordings, each newly mastered by Jeffrey Norman. The set also features original artwork by esteemed cartoonist Paul Pope (D.C. and Marvel comics) and in-depth liner notes written by Nick Meriwether (Grateful Dead Archives at the University of California, Santa Cruz), as well as a producer’s note from producer David Lemieux.

    Due May 13th, we anticipate that this extraordinary box will sell out. Your best bet is to pre-order it now, then sit back, relax, and enjoy all the exclusive content we'll be rolling out over the next few weeks right here.

    Looking for something a little more byte-sized? The collection will also be available for HD digital download in FLAC and ALAC, exclusively at dead.net, on release day.

    Last night I dreamed I met Dick Latvala. He was driving a large green van with the Stealie logo on the side. I surprised to see him as he has, of course, passed from us. I asked him if he brought any tapes that were not in the vault with him. Sadly, he said that he did not. Hey, I tried!! Have a grateful day.

    Kind Souls and Happy Days
    About eight months ago there was a thread on these here boards wherein a mention of GD mixes and compilations was ushered through and I made a passing comment that I had put together some myself. As sometimes happens, I received an outreach from a fellow kind soul (chastason) who expressed an interest in having a listen. One thing led to another and as a result, he has graciously immortalized these picks by offering his own time, artistry, creativity, and most of all server space to bring these to everyone!! I invite you to read below and perhaps take a look at the link. Happy Day to ALL!! ***** A nice fellow over at the Dead boards (Sixtus) put together a six-volume (seven disc) set of stuff he likes. These are bits of jams, complete songs, etc., mostly culled from official releases. I thought it was a good mix (it lived on my ipod for quite a while), and he graciously allowed it to be posted here. I am going to refrain from listing the tracklist (although the songs are tagged), in case you want to dive in and listen blindly (highly recommended!) Of note: today is his birthday (and mine, too), so pretend that you came to a party and this is the soundtrack. ***** http://av-files.com/dead/sixtus/sixtus-picks.html ***** And a massive Happy Birthday shout out and THANK YOU to chastason...and long live 6/10/73, the best birthday suit show any peeps could hope for!

    actually my friend, no, i wasn't referring to you.Sorry, I actually only like skimmed the posts before me... and the one that stuck out was someone who said "we're off topic stop saying who you've met". :-) So I was just trying to say to distinguish between paying $500 to stand in a VIP line to get a fake smile-selfie with someone... and saying you "met" them. Some people who are celebs, are stand offish, or guarded, and rightly so.. and will only afford people a handshake. Honestly I talked to Bobby for 5 minutes, so it wasn't much more than a handshake and some idle chat.. before he toppled over into a stack of empty beer cases and crawled up onto a couch. Sorry if I inflamed anyone. I certainly have met some people only via handshake... I was just trying to distinguish between the "oh I saw him at a distance of 500 yards" and people who we've actually met... I'll go back and read your post now. B/c I don't know what it said. ;-)

    Releases I Attended...
    Well, first show was, of course, Syracuse 5/9/78. They released 5/10 and 5/11, lol. But I did see Buffalo 11/9/79, which was mainly released on the first Road Trips -- really memorable show. And the Cornell '80 show (Road Trips Vol. 3, No 4). Both were (cough cough) road trips from Binghamton, where I was going to college. Also saw a couple of the Nassau Coliseum shows, pieces of which were on Go To Nassau, and 10/30/80 Radio City. I think that's it.

    hey, I can't but think that "handshake" comment refers to me, since I'm the only one who mentioned shaking hands. If you only knew ;) The wife is behind the scenes. But who the fk cares who's who, and who's invited where, anyway? They're just people. Not everyone gives a sht and goes to the party, know what I mean?

    3/28/903/29/90 - Branford Marsalis... I think I was also at a 1990 or 91 release at MSG... I was at RFK which ended up as bonus material on VFTV2 (CD and DVD)... Other shows? mmmm I was @ the Pink Floyd (Nassau) shows that were filmed for their live album and video (Momentary Lapse tour) that became Delicate Sound of Thunder... I was at the last David Bowie concert in Giants Stadium... when he was on his Changes Tour... i think the last time he played all his hits. I was at the Blind Melon show @ Numbers, in Houston, TX... when Shannon Hoon died right afterwards. I was at the SRV show at Holmdel NJ where the stage walls fell and crushed his guitars. I was at the Jane's Addiction show in Philly (1991?) that turned into the infamous "Riot show".... had no idea it happened... but as we left, we went one way, the rest of the crowd went the other... and the whole downtown was set on fire and police were called in with riot gear. I was at the Dead show in Atlanta with the double rainbow.. '03? Can't think of others right now.... I saw people listing celebs they met.... too many to list. My brother has interviewed just about everyone you can imagine, so his list is in the hundreds, to thousands, of celebs... but I've gotten to meet (I consider meeting them to be hanging out with... not just a haandshake and 'i'm a fan') a ton myself... Bob Weir, Dennis McNally, all of CRB, Napoleon Murphy Brock, Ike Willis, Denny Walley, Al Jourgensen, Paul Barker, Angelo Moore,.... I remember doing a huge interpretive dance with my friends at the first Lollapalooza, for the guys in Blues Traveller with Chris Barron of the spin doctors... but i digress. so who is going to charlotte tomorrow?!?!?!?!

    I-287...lots of construction there last few months right where 87, 287, and 17 converge...so annoying. Funny you mention it though, last week on 17 south heading back to the city, stopped at a red light, I see this luxury vehicle with dancing bears stickers on it pulled up next to me. I *almost* rolled down my window and asked, "Pardon me, but do you have any '74 Dijon?" Famous people...I have run across many, but when I see them, they ain't exactly in the mood to sign autographs, heh. Even so, I would have to say tbe one I was most impressed with was Busta Rhimes, believe it or not. Dude was so real and down to Earth, shook my hand like a regular guy, and man his hand was like a bear paw...but still very gentle and warm. He just seemed like a good guy to me, for what it's worth. My wife has several celebrity clients, but I'm not allowed to say, not that I would anyway ;) Re: King Crimson, and famous people, so to speak...Robert Fripp once produced an album for the Roaches (three sisters who sang amazing harmony), and coincidentally, one of the Roach sisters (Terre, I think) was a waitress at my grandparents restaurant in Greenwich Village, and wrote a song about my grandfather which appeared on their debut album, the song was called "Mister Sellack." It was my cousin on this side of the family who originally turned me onto the Grateful Dead, and who I went on tour with ;)

http://www.deadlistening.com/2008/05/1978-july-5-omaha-civic-auditorium. But for one of my favorite Grateful Dead videos: sample the 11/24/1978 show. Jerry purportedly had a cold, but what a great night. Tremendous Capitol Theatre venue with Hamza el-Din guesting (post Egypt shows) ;o} Teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself.

Jim, I've never had the pleasure. I think that really cool dude I mentioned earlier forgot to include this one in my set of soundboards. One Man, you made me re-read my entire post to see if I was the culprit, but to my delight, I used both forms correctly several times. It's a pet peeve of mine as well (along with non-specific posts), and I feared the auto-correct screwed me. Then I found the guilty party. Couldn't agree more, 12/6/73 is my favorite Bonus disc, with RTR AOM close behind. I need to check out Passenger.... Mr. Jack Straw, I'm also a fan of that DP 16 ODW. Others? The 5/25/72 Disc 3 is unreal: Uncle John's Band => Wharf Rat => Dark Star => Sugar Magnolia. I play Disc 2 from Veneta '72 a lot: Playing in the Band, He's Gone, Jack Straw, Bird Song, Greatest Story Ever Told. Also FW Complete'69 Disc 2: Dupree's Diamond Blues, Mountain of the Moon, Dark Star => St. Stephen => The Eleven, Lovelight, Cosmic Charlie And one of my first Dead CDs, Ladies and Gentlemen Disc 4: Morning Dew, New Minglewood Blues, Wharf Rat, Aligator => Drums => Jam => Going Down The Road => Cold Rain and Snow, In the Midnight Hour. Really all 4 discs are perfect, but it's a multi-track compilation, of course it's great. novembereleven, I will check out that 7/1/78 Wharf Rat, thanks! Thin - yeah, comparing '72 to '78 is not even like comparing the same song. I guess I mentioned so the '72 gods wouldn't get upset with me for paying attention to '78. Not Fade Away. I have a weird relationship with Not Fade Away. I first heard it on Rockin' The Rhein and it's incredible. I went on to enjoy it on the other E72 shows, but dont enjoy other years much, I suppose because it only feels right with Pigpen in there. The 20 min monster from Closing of Winterland is the only other version of NFA I listen to much. I don't have anything against it if you have recommendations. The Ray Bans are the shit.

....speaking of vibes, the Alabama -> GSET from 12.28.79 is full of it. Not too plinky either. Trying hard to steer clear of Orpheum '76 and July '78. I've got loads to sate my ears anyway. Spoiled like a single child.... ....if there are any beer fans out there, Anchor Steam collaborated with The Chris Robinson Brotherhood and released a tasty IPA. Worth checking out. Awesome packaging. I would post a pic, but damn this site!!.... ....speaking of Greatest Story, for the longest time when I had more hair, I mis-interpreted the "cool clear water, you can never tell" line as "nuclear water, you can never tell." Doh!!....

Thanks for posting this youtube link. I a am a huge 70s Dead fan. This show is just incredible, Jerry and Bobby are playing guitar at a very high level. Jerry is super creative, I was just going to check it out, but ended up listening to it for an hour. Never heard much from 78 except "From Egypt ,with love" Last show that I was at was Englishtown, Sept,77. Thank you, for a real good time.

Count me in as a fan. I love it especially when it gets really weird after Bobby is done exorcising his demons. The line "Fire wheel- Burning in the air" always makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up for some reason.

What was the plan with doing some shows in England before trip to Egypt ? Did they really want to play at Stonehenge ? 7.7.78 - some killer stuff in these final 4 from the 1st set Tennessee Jed Passenger Peggy-O The Music Never Stopped Sirius played this show a few months ago and it absolutely smokes

Watching Bill Walton on ESPN - he is invoking Jerry Garcia multiple times, and throwing out Dead lyrics left and right: "Bill, What do you think you think of Steph Curry and the Warriors?" Bill: "I love the team spirit, the way it's uplifting the west coast in excitement - California! the prophet on the burnin' shore....". He has a new book he is promoting - "Back from the Dead" - about his recovery from back issues that had him on the verge of suicide. He is such a positive and inspirational guy. His heart is huge, and his heart belongs to and was somewhat formed by the Dead - not a coincidence.

Wish I could say I have met him. Well, not yet. I'd vote for him though. Think we could convince him to run? At the very least, I, too, find him entertaining on TV. The GD, in the strangest places still doing good after all these years if you look at it right.

The 1978 show from the box was recorded by Betty. So is this recording not a Betty board or would it be the first official release of a Betty board. If it is not a Betty board than what is it. Thanks. I just reread it. First from "Long Lost Betty Boards." Ah alright. The 77 from the box was recorded by Betty also.

Not all Betty Boards were lost in the storage locker/auction fiasco some I believe where in the vault. The ones that were in the vault had not been mastered and released therefore they are not "long-lost" just never released. The Betty Boards for Dave's picks are part of the "long-lost" newly returned sets, the ones that had been cared for and worked on by Rob Eaton saved from languishing in some guys barn (if my memory serves me right from past readings). While the Cornell show and a few others are still being held hostage by unscrupulous audio terrorists in search of quick payday... as Bubbles would say "greee-easy."

Since it's the anniversary of the Kezar Stadium performance, immortalized on the Beyond Description Bonus CD, I think I'll listen to that version with a small (refillable) glass of Jameson. I much prefer this version to the One From The Vault version. No DeadHead should journey forth w/out it. Keith has some cool keyboards in there, almost Wakeman-like, and Stronger Than Dirt is mixed in there. I don't listen to it often, just to keep the face-melting properties intact. And it always goes with some tasty smooth Jameson, as it's in the title and all. Thanks for the reminder Kayak Guy. I'm firing it up now. Mmmm...Jameson.... Edit - okay, my listening mission is complete. Great as ever. Funny thing though - evidently it's "Blues" for Allah. "Blues"....

They were booked to play at London's Rainbow Theatre on the way back from Egypt, as they were passing through London and could cover some costs there. In the end they cancelled, preferring apparently to head for home and finish off Shakedown Street. Would have been my first shows. They had cancelled too in 76. There were rumours over several years that they would play at Glastonbury Festival, but it never happened. In the end we had to wait until 81 (when they visited twice).

Great link kayak. I forgot that kool Dark Star from rocking the rein bonus was on 3/23. What a great version. I like the 1969 ones a little better, but 1972, 73, and 74 is beginning to make more sense as I listen to those Dark Stars more times. Pigpen's maracas are a nice touch. Really puts me in hippie land, where I wish we live forever.

Last night my cousin (who first introduced me to this music) came for a visit and we stayed up until all hours getting mightily buzzed and listening to this wonderful music. The highlight was 4-15-70 (he prefers the Pigpen era). I've gone on at length about this show but, damn, it's absolutely fantastic. Brief as it is, the NFA that is sandwiched by Lovelight is just killer. Kick ass show from start to finish. The Jam sounds like a cover of Santana's Soul Sacrifice and the transition from Cryptical to Dire Wolf is absolutely perfect. An all time great Dancin' precedes the Lovelight>NFA>Lovelight. It's always fun to find a favorite show out of my favorite era (pre-hiatus Keith).

Time to stop taking our talking points and attitudes from the spoon-fed brainwashing we currently take as gospel, and start researching the facts and making up our own minds. It's very easy to take the cues on what the "cool kids" all believe in (Hollywood, I'm looking at you) and simply take up that position as our own, without really looking into what the fk is really going on. Question for you: Do you believe in free speech? I mean, truly believe in it. I know I do. Then why is it OK to suppress free speech by shutting down (with violence and threats of violence) the political opposition's rallies and conferences, as happened in Chicago? Isn't that what "fascists" do? Stifle any speech that they don't agree with? And if so, then why aren't those conservative "fascists" we've been warned about not trying to shut down our rallies and conferences in the same way we do to theirs? Could it be that they actually believe in free speech? llogical...Does not compute. I must reexamine what I've been told... Shouldn't we instead be combatting views we disagree with by offering our own coherent arguments, rather than using intimidation, throwing punches and blocking highways like thugs? And how is it OK for colleges to suppress any speech that goes against the mainstream because student groups who are too scared to actually debate different ideas disrupt any speech with which they disagree, and instead demand "safe spaces" where their beliefs are never questioned? Are we raising a generation of free thinkers, or non-questioning sheep who simply parrot what their radical professors have indoctrinated them to believe the "truth" to be? It is rather ironic that those who are so stuck in the past, and who still fancy themselves as being the "anti-establishment" and the height of "cool," have yet to realize that they have now become the very establishment who they always railed against, and are now enforcing complete conformity to their views, and that those who bravely challenge their iron grip on the public discourse are the true anti-establishment warriors of today. It is also sadly ironic that those who once purported to champion free speech, are now so comfortable in denying (by any means, including violence) the free speech of others. But hey, the means justify the ends, right? But maybe I'm a "racist" for even daring to question the status quo. After all, isn't anyone who disagrees with political correctness automatically a "racist." Aren't all "conservatives" also automatically "racists?" That's what we're taught by every sitcom, every program, every talking head, and every college professor, isn't it? I don't know, have I said anything even remotely racist, ever? Ah never mind, I must be an evil racist since I'm espousing certain views (or you just sense I am not completely "on board" with the herd mentality, since I'm not using the proper buzzwords to indicate my "coolness" and conformity with the allowed belief system), so you can just disregard my opinion altogether, maybe even get a group to shout me down, you know, in the name of "peace" or "justice" or something. It doesn't really matter, as long as you use the correct terminology, people will believe you. That's what this world has come to. The movie "Idiocracy" comes to mind. I suppose this will be my last post, since so many will object to my speaking out, so I wish you all well and many years of enjoyment of this great music we all love. I'll be on the Catskill mountains with a rifle on my shoulder, a six-shooter (actually, a 16-shooter) in my hand, I've been all around this world... I'll be wishing for peace, but preparing for the dangerous reality that your politically correct blindness and stupidity will likely bring...

What triggered the political rant? Something I missed that was later removed? Take it easy up there in the mountains, dantian. Things won't be the same around here without you. I for one enjoy the dissenting views, even if I find value in what some call political correctness. But I don't wanna talk about that here!

Right, as long as the quips are from your perceived side, they're just fine and not conisidered "political," even though that's exactly what they are. You see, when the cool kids do it, it's fine, that's how it works. Sadly, in time you'll know I was right in what we spoke about couple months past, though it wasn't cool for me to say. That's my problem though, always have to be true, even if it ain't cool ;) Take care, bro.

If so dantian you can still get archive.org. 26 years ago today the Knickerbocker Arena opened in Albany NY. It was the first show I bought from a ticketbroker (legal scalper) at the outrageous fee of $100 a ticket. I just had to be there and wanted to make sure I had tix for the entire run. This show while officially released, the 1st set is spread out over 4 different releases to make for a frankenshow. What's up with that Rhino??? You can hear the whole show in lesser, but complete versions as part of todays LMA choices. https://archive.org/search.php?query=collection%3AGratefulDead+AND+titl…

This is some disturbing stuff to wake up to, not sure what provoked this vitriolic venting. Here is something about the Republican party, the real intentions of the "war on drugs" and is straight from a primary source, John Ehrlichman, enjoy! https://harpers.org/archive/2016/04/legalize-it-all/ If you would like more information about why following the Republican party as it stands today often gets people labeled (incorrectly or not) as a racist, ignorant sheep of oligarchial wanna-be tyrants let me know. I've done lot of my own research! And to try and say that the only violence and suppression of free speech is coming from the protesters, you need to do more research about what is going on at Republican rallies.

Flush the self-righteous political diatribes elsewhere, please. We don't want them here. Thanks!

No more political rants on here, please. Don't know what "little quip" got you riled up, don't care. Quite frankly, a quip can be easily ignored or brushed off, your rant, however..... Don't need that crap here from either side-- we get it enough in our daily lives. Take your 16-shooter up to the mountains to protect yourself from the liberal masses, don't care. To make this music related, got myself a sweet 5th row ticket to see Tedeschi Trucks in a beautiful theater in June on Derek Trucks' side. I have never seen him play, really looking forward to it.

This is supposed to be a site for talk about the Dead and their music. Please keep it on topic, regardless of how right / wrong your other ideas might be. This is not the place. We have lost enough good posters already. Please don't drive more away with your inappropriate, off-topic diatribes. Rock on

I discovered Peter Gabriel Era Genesis in the Spring of '93. I've rarely listened to anything other than the Dead for the past two years, but it's a beautiful Spring day, and Supper's Ready.

I think that I will get out my copies of Foxtrot and Selling England By The Pound! I love Gabriel-era Genesis. Only the best 70s-aged vintage prog!

How'd you do that 80s fan? I don't see any directions or options to do so, and copy / paste sure ain't working. droidmec - yes, those two albums go together nicely, both sonically and stylistically, like a double album.

I agree with One Man,,, where did that come from? And Hbob,,, take it elsewhere. I can be just as big of a nut job with politics as the next guy, but not here. Also agree with Keithfan,,,,, How'd you post that picture willis? :-) Phil stuff.... anybody been listening to the Phil and friends shows that celebrate a given show from a given year,, they are up to 1985 tomorrow night (3/25), most seem posted on youtube. They start off with a talk about the given year (price of bread, songs on the top 40, prices of homes, what the dead were doing), then they play "a show". They've been good and I've been downloading them. Google search "youtube 19?? phil and friends", you should get hits. You can find the setlist in the "phil zone". Lockn - if Lockn on your mind, they just announced another round of artist playing there, some more good stuff. 80's fan - like Tedeschi trucks band, check out this cover, blows me away, her vocals and dereks slide work at the end,,,, wow!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtG5bT13m8U

What's the trick to find out how many of these are left? With 30 trips people kept posting how many were left, was wondering how many of these are still available. Really just want to wait until the credit card rolls over, but will buy sooner if I have too. To the question about missing Betty Boards from earlier, a lot of the reels were left in the vault. Sometimes even 2 of the 3 show reels would be there and one was in the storage locker. It seems Betty took the reels out of some sort of spite, but could not take them all.
