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.

I wouldn't mind reading your E72 Dark Star reviews again, I recall that post was an excellent read. I know others enjoyed it too at the time. Time is right for all things E72 - encore, encore....

petulant

when I wrote petulant, I heard in my head, "I'm petulant, and i'm having a frenzy" I then looked up the definition of petulant to make sure I had the right word for the moment. btw: is your favorite group Helen Reddy, or Twisted Sister? ;) Paul Simon is a great writer for sure. but the wristband line is a bit obvious. if you don't have tires, you can't roll down the road a donut without a hole is not a donut. It's a danish. if you don't have a lou, you can't have a reed 10/10/76, people white light white heat i am Waldo Jeffers

Happy Anniversary 4/8 & Rush

Late last night I purposely loaded 4/8 onto my iPhone. This is the show I play for old friends that say oh you still listen to the Dead, really? They are mostly familiar with the late 80's early 90's version as that was our concert going era. Then they immediately get blown away by the hard rocking focused energy that never lets up. Propelled of course by a single drummer. And then the second disc leadoff Playing hints at all the exploratory magic that comes later on in the show and especially in perhaps my favorite Dark Star. A lot more can be said but I'll simply throw in the sales pitch, buy this show now if you do not own it already. (I first saw Rush on the 2nd leg of the Signals tour at Radio City Music Hall. That was the end of an era for them. The next year I saw the Grace Under Pressure tour at MSG, blah. I knew then that I would not revisit that album again or buy any others going forward. The string of records between Fly By Night up to Moving Pictures are all incredible. You can even throw in Signals but that was the beginning of the end. Way too much synth. I hear they have finally started stressing the guitar again a few years back & featuring the Richenbacker bass. That whole era of the Steinberger Bass, bad mullets and other 80's atrocities has not aged well at all)

I don't have a wristband

Here's hoping Paul Simon's newly released single "Wristband" from his upcoming album is the least enjoyable song of the lot. The chorus..."If you don't have a wristband, you don't get through the door." Hunter-Dylan- Paul Simon- there's very few songwriters I turn towards in the hopes of songwriting genius. Kind of why Dylan's cover albums don't seem close to the definition of talent fulfillment. Sure hope Paul Simon's days of songwriting brilliance aren't in the rearview.

Last Two Favorite Dylan Releases

My last two favorite Dylan releases:"Another Self Portrait" with Alberta, let your hair hang low; and fantastic live Highway 61 from the Isle of W. concert...many more tremendous tracks. "Complete Basement Tapes" with spine-tingling Hills of Mexico and Bonnie Ship The Diamond...many more superlative tracks. As for the last bootleg release, I get more pleasure from the original albums, especially Bringing It All Back Home, with the fantastic Gates of Eden. Bob's Sinatra album(s), well...to me they're on the same level as his Christmas CD; but to each their own. I love Bob Dylan and he can do whatever he pleases. (Same with Jerry.)

Just some things....

Dire Straits,,, my wife liked them a lot I could take or leave. Saw them live, Nassau Coliseum in 85? I always thought Mark K was a very good player and the band wasn't up to his level. Picture Jerry's playing with just an average band. The band behind Mark could keep time but they weren't adding anything or pushing the lead to greater heights. Springsteen - Caught his River tour in Dallas the other night. I'm a Jersey boy so Bruce is mandatory listening, was HUGE fan of The River. (all his early albums also) It was nice and fun to see the show. I think his voice is better than ever, had a set of pipes that pumped out 3.5 hours of songs. But in the end it as a "show", I'm sure everyone of the shows will be virtually the same. I could have lived nicely without the theatrics. Heading into the crowd to be carried back to stage on the hands of the crowd, please, just sing and play. Though I had a funny vision of Jerry falling back into the crowd and tripping deadhead trying to hold him up :-) (hundreds crushed at a rock concert tonight, film at 11). Also it's been 35 years and the band is still dressing the same! Really Steve you're way too old to be wearing feather ear rings and nils get rid of the beret. Like seeing the village people and the guy is still dressing like an indian chief! I know this sounds like a shit review, but we really did have fun. It was nice to hear the whole albums in order,,,, still a great albums. I've included a link to a drop box of the Rochester NY show which is up on youtube,,, this is just the sound and a very good recording. Help yourself. https://www.dropbox.com/s/6vorc74p4vy2bdi/2016-02-27%20-%20Blue%20Cross…

Great Writeup KeithFan

KeithFan, enjoying your write up of the show du jour. It has spurred me to put this on today; in the midst of BTW right now but looking forward to the Good Lovin and DS. No idea Jerry would play organ sometimes, I will keep an ear peeled. Also, your DS description is right-on; it made me go back and revisit my notes I had shared sometime early last fall for all of the E'72 Dark Stars, and we do touch on many of the same reference points. I don't think I've listened to this DS since then, so it will be a nice treat for a Friday. Bangers and Mash! Sixtus

Agree. Their work with Brown was their best. I became increasingly less interested as they became more synthy in the late 80's, but I still listened to their early stuff frequently. Funny, but that's pretty much the same trajectory my Dead listening has taken...

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. Helped out to have the same holidays in the recruitment dept dig? Whatever You DO Enjoy please!
