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.

Beats and Neighborhoods

Always loved Kerouac. Born in raised in Lowell, MA where Jack K grew up and went to High School. Reading those novels were always a trip as he frequently wrote about memories of specific places from his old home town. Always loved Maggie Cassidy, The Town and the City, Dr. Sax and his many other books set there. On another random neighborhood note, I used to live on East 3rd Street, and the Hells Angels were always polite neighbors. No nonsense on that block ever. Later moved over a few blocks to Avenue B. Love Hunter S. Thompson and miss him still. Favorite poet--can I go with Dylan? Yeah, that's my pick. Going through a listen to 30 trips again, this time in order. Up to 1986. A few shaky shows in the early 80's, but all in all a solid box-set that keeps on giving.

Charter's bio is probably the best...but in my opinion, Kerouac's own writings are the best bios! I wouldn't be too concerned that Town and the City was written "before he found his style." For that very reason, I, like you, avoided reading it for years. But when I did read it, I discovered that that "before he found his style" thing is grossly overstated. Town & City is a wonderful book! And it's fascinating to see how that "style" really starts to rev up in the last quarter of the book; though I found the entire novel to be outstanding. I'd rather read T & C than, say, Dr. Sax, which is fun (the whole book written "on pot," said J.K.) but not among my favorites. Maggie Cassidy is good, no doubt about it, but I enjoy Tristessa, the short Mexican novel, a bit more. Speaking of Ann Charters, it was she who edited both books of Jack's "Selected Letters," which I highly recommend. One more thing about Town & City...while writing it, Kerouac also kept a writer's journal, now published as "Windblown World." I didn't think I'd enjoy it, but guess what? It's great!

Favorite transitions....

....That, my friend, is a very good question. The first one that pops into my mind is the Good Lovin'->Samson from Cow Palace New Year's '76. Makes me shake my head in wonder every damn time I hear it. Again. Great question. I will have to get back to that one over the next few days..... ...edit. antonjo. I did not realize that Cumberland->Samson was a second set opener. Hot Damn!!!....

Morning Sun via Dantian

Well said, indeed. Bolo, thanks for the link. Sad story from Bob Seidemann. I have to think the others were insensitively self-absorbed, rather than consciously rejecting a request for a final photo with their comrade. Well, I don't have to think that; but it's what makes the most sense to me. Hard to imagine that none of them sensed his impending departure in that moment (with all the time and experience they'd logged in with this brother of theirs); but even harder that everyone is simply lying about their belief that he'd recover. Rosebud, 9/27/72 (Dick's 11) certainly features a candidate for my favorite transition: Dark Star > Cumberland. It's so telepathically suggested and executed, it's literally absurd, makes me laugh every time I hear it. 9/12/87's Cumberland > Samson is fun, too. No musical passage in between for the whole band to navigate, it's simply about timing, and Billy & Mickey are right on it. The last note of Cumberland is the first beat of Samson. [While you're strolling this lane, don't fail to take in Ship of Fools/Women Are Smarter (Brent's solo smokes), and especially DON'T miss the Dew.]

Deadhead Poets Society

How could you guys leave Robert Frost, and my personal favorite, W. B. Yeats off your lists? Re Hell's Angels, they still have their NYC headquarters on E. 3rd St on lower East side Manhattan (my wife works nearby), and couple weeks ago they strung a huge American flag across 3rd St...a FDNY fire truck coming up the street stopped, the firefighters all got out in the middle of the street and saluted the flag. Only in NY... So, say what you want about the Hell's Angels, and I certainly don't condone their illegal activities or their penchant for violence, but at least they appreciate this great country we live in, which is more than can be said for a lot of other folks I've had the misfortune of dealing with over the years.

hbob and stuff

Well just getting back in the saddle (wink) after another 8 days down on the coast. Absolutely incredible weather last week. Warm with low morning dew points, so very dry. Nice! Catching up on a lot of reading. It is weird, do not take any devices. Do not seem to miss them. Read, watch the hypnotic motion of the ocean, party, eat incredible fish. Hbob-search out "Song of the South." It is the un-authorized documentary of Duane Allman and the Brothers. It is really good and has most of the same characters as Muscle Shoals but with the focus on Duane. Goes deep into the "Hour Glass" the first iteration that opened for Grateful Dead in 1968 (?). I have not seen in a few months so my memory is a touch foggy but I will watch again soon. I have said before if you watch "Muscle Shoals", "Sound City", and "Finding the Funk" in close proximity you can hear the same theme being discussed. Very interesting.

Poetry Response

dire---I assume you are responding to me. 1. All sorts of great poetry in languages other than English---I do not read any enough to appreciate it the way I can poems in English. The very greatest often come through in translation--Homer, Cavafy, Rilke--but I am appreciating the translations in many respects. 2. My lists were not meant to downplay the possibility great poets, with a function and devotion to language separate from lyrics, could not be experimental/avant garde, whatever term you wish. Just an easy listing of poets most people would know and that produced reams of stuff of the type I was describing. Same for the lyricists. Many others could be added. And for that matter, who would be more genre-defying and 'out there' than Emily? 3. I never said (and never marks as well as limits) anything about validity--I said two different functions and purposes. I can call anything poetry, it does not mean it is. 4. I understand the arguments about high and low culture, and the assignment of value by academics based on class, race, gender privileges--they just do not sway me. We can all be empathetic and we can all see through the coincidences of circumstance. If we try. To me, it is in fact the power of 'great' poetry to accomplish just that, just like all other 'great' artistic creations.

Scratched discs

I think all this talk about the scratched discs jinxed me ! I was looking for some things to listen to yesterday and found a box of cds. The first 2 I played both had some really awful skips, technically it was a stall because it would stop playing and then resume shortly after, without missing a beat. I listened to one disc like that, the second one I gave up on. Quite a shame because the damaged discs are very nice recordings of 3.30.83

Who Else?

Would rather wait til the box set comes out before listening to what might be "the most exciting, inspired 35 minutes of 1978 Grateful Dead you'll hear?" on a side note: I read in Willie's most recent book that he took acid at one of the Fourth of July Picnics and how weird his experience was and all of that...I can't remember if he said what year it was..

Today in GD History - "My Brother Esau"

3.25.83 - marks the 1st live performance of "My Brother Esau" a couple other debuts would emerge from the bands touring history during this time in March. "Looks Like Rain" and "Two Souls in Communion" 3.21.72

a love letter to 10/11/77

I shunned you for yearssomeothertime i said yeah probably overrated i thought today we are together wow. what a show.

Willie and the Melting Hand Jive

I would love to have been a fly on the wall for that Fourth of July bash. You would have to think someone got dosed that day, the circus was in town.. Cool story, I will have to check it out.

Me too!

I am going to wait for this new 78 box to arrive before listening to these specific shows. Thanks Dave.

willie and the melting hand jive

love that Lysergic River take my mind, Don't let her mem'ry torture me. Lysergic River don't run dry, You're all I've got, take care of me. I'm drowning in an acid river, Bathing my mem'ried mind in the wetness of its soul. Feeling the amber current flowin' from my mind. And warm an empty heart you left so cold.

I'll Wait

Till your love comes down....no just kidding, that was VH when they were on top of their game. I'll wait for the box set, no need to spoil the virgin listen. Heck, I'm torn about listening to any soundboards, lest they end up released with the Full Norman Treatment someday, and I end up with a not-so-special Dave's Picks. But then there's the little mean dude on the other shoulder going "put it on, you could be dead before this ever goes Full Norman"....and so I've begun getting into some soundboards - only the real hi-fi audio mind you, just because I can't tolerate poor sound quality. It's difficult to turn away from those great sounding shows, especially when it seems unlikely they'll get much better with the Full Norman (like these 2/26, 5/7, 5/8, and 5/9 1977 boards I have). Or this Estimated Shakedown Street I pulled from 11/24/78. I'll tell you what they need, is a little package called Live Shakedown with The Grateful Dead, where they release a double CD with just Shakedown Street, I Need A Miracle, From The Heart Of Me, and Stagger Lee from the Godchaux's last 6 months. Maybe half a dozen versions of each tune....wooo!

update....

I don't know what's up with this site for the cancer research pull... but it accepts donations then it doesn't.this site truncates the link at times... here's the link https://secure3.4agoodcause.com/curing-kids-cancer/fundraisers/personal… if it gets truncated again.... go to 4agoodcause, look for Team Super Kellen. For those who saw it, I'm pulling a firetruck w/ a team to raise $ and awareness for leukemia research. A child of a family friend has leukemia. Chuck H., who Dave L. mentions at the end of this seaside chat for this box set, also has aggressive leukemia and cancer. The Grateful Dead is the only thing that gets him through his treatments. He needs every positive thought and prayer right now.... Sending cd's and $ is helpful.... anyway.. that's the link... thanks

Scratches / Dennis Wilmot

You keep referring to the apparatus as stupid but yet it works…not so stupid. You should think of charging the library every time you do their job.

dave strang

for the amount of stuff I get from the library they should be charging me! Just in today, the complete Louis Armstrong RCA Collection! I love my library!

last note on scratches

I have also found that if disc "A" doesn't play on player "A", then it probably will play on player "B". Sometimes I struggle with a disc that doesn't want to rip in on my desktop and I try it on my wife's laptop and it works. Always try on a second device. I don't have a lot of problems with scratches in personal stuff, I treat it right and generally it only gets played once when I suck it in, then I put it away safe and sound. Keithfan - on that bonus disc you got, make a copy and play the copy. Put the "official" one away.

Keith

Shoot just give me the top 20 Shakedowns ever done. I would buy the crap out of that!

RE: Kayak Spinal Tap

:) i take that as a very high compliment. but even Nigel doesn't put his guitars in ziplock bags, like I do to these storage room box sets.I learned from Betty's mistakes, and yes you can get reel sized Ziplock bags that would have mitigated much of the flooding damage. The listening party is nice, but coming though my laptop it's a tad harsh from the stream sound and i don't know if i'll make it to the end. BTW replying to a post stops the stream, so back to Estimated again. Nice, but I'm going to wait for disks from now on.

shakedowns of note

6/30/858/28/81 11/24/78 thank you sir may I have another

stoltzfun

I know we just covered this, sorta. Did we reach consensus that 6/30/85 is the best Shakedown? It is my favorite but I have not heard all of them yet. I used to wear out 12/5/79 also. I wrote on the other board about Ventura 87 (which I was in attendance). That was a slow slinky Shakedown. Being on the beach, the bass made the sandy loam pulse. An addendum to that write up, we were standing there having a refreshing smoke when a guy that was probably 70 comes slithering by, smoking this huge pipe. We were grooving, he was grooving. He stopped and we all passed everything around, nice. Never said a word. He wore a shirt that said "I heart drugs." Being in my 20's, it made me feel like I was home. BTW, I was wearing a taper's shirt that had an eagle on it with tape reals in its talons on the front. On the back, again tape reals with a slogan underneath "Death before Dishonor, Drugs before Lunch." I also love the Shakedown from 87 Socal at the stadium, DVD, where they are opening for Dylan. Love some of the looks from Bob and Jerry. Bob is trying to make an adjustment on his rig and it is time to sing. He misses the beginning and looks over to Jer like "Am I in trouble?" Then Jerry flubs a lyric and looks back at Bob and makes a hilarious face. Sorta lets you physically see who Captain Trips was, The Boss! Jer so relaxed, Bob doing his best to please. Love it! Edit: oops reels not reals

Dennis and the library

Yep, I have Umphreys Mcgee, Wishbone Ash, Old Crow Medicine Show, Trombone Shorty, and Preservation Hall Jazz band on my desk as I type this, got to rip em and get them back to the library. So yeah, I know how bad those disks can be, but it is a great way to hear new stuff.

Shakedown

I really like the one from Egypt, which was probably the first one I had on tape, but feel it didn't come into it's own until the Brent years. Here's one for Keithfan. a wonderful AUD by Mr Bob Menke of a 19:45 Shakedown deep in the 2nd set after a nice Wheel. https://archive.org/details/gd1979-02-17.fob.menke.motb-0110.105240.fla…

thanks again Kayak

the MOTB stuff is always great. As has been mentioned a few times in the last 6 months. Edit: Oh yeah, have not heard the Egypt one. Heard it mentioned several times here. Is it really that good? Did someone post that was the best part of Egypt?

Best Shakedown

Sixtus: Where are we on the 7 headed super brain? This may be the best place to start...or would it be Best Dark Star. My oh my, cannot say that, will start a food fight...

Egypt Shakedown

Good thing I check the links, that 24 bit version, didn't have the Shakedown. Try this. https://archive.org/details/gd1978-09-16.sbd.miller.88314.sbeok.flac16 You really should let it play through to Truckin to get the full effect of the Shakedown at Giza Of course it sounds MUCH better on the officially released CD version with the pop up cover.

shakedown

I know somewhere I had a tape with a 22 minute shakedown, opened a 2nd set if I remember right,,, it was great. I had a non head in my car once and that tune was playing and when they came out of jam back into lyrics, he looked at me and said "who's this?". I think it be impossible for me to find, but it was one of the longest ones I ever had.

Great Shakedown

1979 New Haven on the first Road Trips -

Shakedown 3/28/81 Essen, Germany

Very funky. Jerry and Bobby totally in sync, especially the second half of the jam. Two guitarists plugged into one brain. Edit: After another listen (and viewing), a correction - six musicians, one brain.

MUATM announced!!....

....7.2.89 Sullivan Stadium. No Shakedown, but it's got a FOTD second set opener. How's that for a curveball!.... ....btw, baseball season starts on 4.2. Just a friendly reminder....

where dat info at re muatm

GD89 ain't my highest priority but since i saw no shows in 89 muatm will be attended by me. Date of the meetup itself?

3/28/81 Essen,Germany

Yeah Bolo, that Shakedown is without any doubt Funky! Also, as I recall that show has a killer NFA with Pete Townsend!!

May 11th....

I should have had a V8!....

....May is going to blow the doors off! We get a movie, some '76 Orpheum, a whole week of Betty's July '78, and it's my birth month. I actually feel humbled.

Longest Shakedown....

once back in the times of tapes i did create a 45 minute long Shakedown combining several different ones , used to play it at partys when i was a student - as most of us were drunk or otherwise illuminated it felt like going on forever.....

Keys on box

love this image , reminds me how important Keith was for the band....

Essen 81!

Yeah a great show W/Pete Townsend on NFA. It was filmed for the German TV show RockPalast: Set 2 W/Pete https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xAIdDlQwHY

gary farseer and the library

does your library have ILL (inter library loans), with the plano library I can go online and search all the libraries in Amerika. Great for rounding out audio books and finding rare music. These cost me 2.50 in postage to get sent here, but well worth it.

Next Dave's

Anybody have the date yet?

Dave's 18

They usually ship for delivery the 1st week of the next shipping month, which would be May, so probably announced in mid April to presale the non subscription copies.

An Exciting Berkeley Night

http://gratefulseconds.blogspot.com/2016/03/1986-04-21-maybe-you-know-b…

Shakedown, Aug 13, '79

Opens the show at McNichols after a Red Rocks rain-out. I don't go for "best," but conten-dahs. This is one. Am I biased because I was tripping my nuts off? Pretty sure!

RE: Dave's 18

Last year the 2nd release shipped 4/30/15. I am expecting a similar release date.

Dave's Picks 18

I'm familiar with shipping times etc. I'm trying to find out WHAT SHOW is Dave's 18. I heard rumor it's from '76 which would be right up my alley. Anyboy know? (to be honest I love 'em all!)

Dave's 18

DL announced in that it will be the show from 7/17/76 on the first two discs, with disc three the 17th encore, NFA, followed by most of the 1st set from 7/16 minus any repeats of the 17th 1st set. The bonus disk will be the second set from the 16th

7/2/89 FOTD

Was released with "All The Years Combine: The DVD Collection". Looks and sounds great and the smile on Jerry's face when he open set 2 is worth the price of admission. The previously unreleased songs are: China Cat Sunflower - October 2, 1987, Shoreline Amphitheatre, Mountain View I Know You Rider - October 2, 1987, Shoreline Amphitheatre, Mountain View Man Smart, Woman Smarter - October 2, 1987, Shoreline Amphitheatre, Mountain View Friend Of The Devil - July 2, 1989, Sullivan Stadium, Foxboro Hey Pocky Way - July 22, 1990, The World Amphitheatre, Tinley Park Shakedown Street - June 22, 1991, Soldier Field, Chicago

drpryan

drpryan thanks for your quick response

The Dead / Dave L. / TPTB

How about a '76 box set along the lines of July '78? Granted not all of the tapes can be used and others are damaged but, there has to be enough left in good condition for more releases. A '76 Box Set would be a great place start Seriously? What about more releases? Say 1-2 more per year. And yes I understand the concept of saturation.

Bolo

Thanks for the Essen Shakedown, had heard parts of this show but not the Shakedown. Whoa, love being able to see them in action! six musicians, one mind preachin that polyglot babel music. It can be doubly bubbly indeed.

hendrixfreak

Conten-dahs, i like it. Will track that one down. I have always been a touch partial to Shakedowns. Love so many genres but really am a groove/funk freak at heart.

Dennis

I am almost certain we have ILL, just have not explored it yet. Will look into it. How can you absorb so much stuff?

mpace

I may just breakout that road trips shakedown tonight! Only listened too it twice I think...cant wait. I am slowly making it thru my third trip around the 30 trips. About halfway, lots a really fine stuff!

MUAM

wow, seems like an odd pick to me?? Sullivan Stadium (along with Highgate VT) was probably one of the worst dead shows I went too. Seems like an odd choice. I had a lot of fun at both shows but thought the band did not have a good nite at either. Plus, Sullivan Stadium show was on a VERY hot and humid day. A scorcher. However, will definitely see MUAM since Sullivan Stadium is about 10 minutes from my house (and was too back in 87 ...though I lived in different town then). Looking forward to 78 box. Though I am on fence on buying whole box ... may just get the one show option. I had a big ask with the Mrs to get 30 Trips. I know this sounds crazy but I am getting to the point where I have so many Dead CD's I am getting to point where maybe I should start to pass on new releases unless they are a must have. Some releases I have barely listened too. I love the Dead but at times I get burned out and need to listen to talk radio or some other bands. I will say, 78 is an underrated year. DP 18 is amongst my all time fav and the 78 DaP that came out last yr from Nashville (?) were both top shelf. Maybe I just convinced myself to go for the full box? Happy Easter peace

Silence is Golden

Thanks for the input on the Pig box. I got to thinking, I would rather have a Pig Loaded Grateful Dead release. It's like asking for just a Bob or Jerry box in the context of the Grateful Dead, doesn't really make much sense. I vote for Pig influenced show such as 8/14/71 and 8/15/71, that were returned as part of the house boat stash. I just returned from a two day camping trip up to Albuquerque, NM and purposely left my Ipod at home. It was great to just listen to nature and the kids have fun. @ Takimoto- I don't buy every release. In my book I have all I need, 30 Trips and E72. The 30 Trips gave me what I wanted which was a release from every year and E72-only the greatest GD tour (IMHO). I get what you are saying about burnout and not listening to every release you own. For me it's Winterland '77. I have never listened to it the whole way through. Maybe this June I will make the effort. I got to thinking what is everyone's go to year or show. The one that gets the most rotation or the one that you play whilst you are trying to figure our what to put on? According to my itunes counter it is a tie between the Grateful Dead Movie Soundtrack and 7/31/1974. But the 11/10/1967 show is creeping up there. Have a great Easter everyone!!

Daddy what day is Easter on this year?

This week had all three components in it.Date of Spring Equinox 3.20/21 Date of first Full Moon after Spring Equinox 3.23 First Sunday following Full Moon 3.27 THATS EASTER SUNDAY this is the formula to determine Easter. As you know its always on a different day sometimes in March, others in April. Its history is that of a pagan lunar holiday. Early Christians adapted the date and feast.
