    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.

    Peein'------Ridin' That Train
    Since peeing has been brought up...My best pee experience occurred on a train in 1973, an open boxcar (between Atlanta & Birmingham). Me & a friend had hopped on, hobo-style. The incredible vision: while the train was speeding, standing at the open door, peeing------the pee did not fall but streamed out horizontally in a straight line------all the way past the caboose------still connected with its pouring source unbroken & getting longer, longer & longer------ An amazing sight indeed.

    Bravo show
    Did anyone else catch the Bravo show with Bob and John? Was a half hour show. Don't remember name (and just watched it last night!) But it was a decent funny interview with the two and they played an acoustic friend of the devil. I only caught it because a friend called me and gave me a heads up. If you can find it somewhere, worth the 20 minutes it takes to watch.

    David 1973-07-01 and drunks pissin'
    Thanks for the heads up David, I checked my copy of this show and right off audience with people talking loud about bullshit while band was jamming off. The Charlie copy was GREAT. Once again people on this site have pointed me to a better copy than the one I had. Hard to impossible to find "better" copies without more ears. I downloaded the entire collection off the archive years ago, but I don't go back to look for "better", got best while I was there, if better comes along I count on it being pointed out here. Bathrooms and drunks that need to piss - Years ago I had a girlfriend whose parents were big drinkers (not drunks), but boy could they drink. At one of their parties her aunt got pass drunk and pissed in the dryer. How she did that I don't know, but it stunk for quite a while. In my group we had a guy who rented a house and threw huge parties. This was a small house in the woods. The house was a square donut, you came in front door and right in front of you was a door to the bathroom, on left was dining room, behind that kitchen, right into living room, and right again bedroom, and right again back to front door. That square space in middle of the house was bathroom, heat system. Just a small square house. At this one party I was leaning against the bathroom door shootin the shit with buddies and we're all tripping balls. I guy comes up and asked about the bathroom and I said someone's in there. He's standing there looking like someone who has to go. Finally he starts to walk around the house. A second person came up and I told them the same thing. Finally a third came. So now I have these 3 people in a holding pattern walking around the house. We're all laughing about this when after twice around the block the first guy says are you sure someone's in there, I look and say oh good I got to go, and went in first. At Lockn last year me and my buddy still had a chuckle over the holding pattern at that Gates Ave party. Ok, one final one. Saw Simon and Garfunkel in Central Park in 82. We got there very early, like 6 hours before show time. We were in the top 10% of the crowd. They said a half a million people showed up. When I see the crowd pictures I can not believe how close we were. Once again tripping balls. At some point we decide to head to the port-a-potties before crowd got any larger. Well there was a good line in front of every stall. We had to be 30 people back. I started in with a rolling monologue of water and bathroom jokes for maybe a dozen people around me while we're all waiting. Then I start telling people to watch the faces of the people coming out when done. Most spoke of relief, some of disgust, but everyone around me were laughing their asses off. Two quick things about concert,,,, no 3 things. First it WAS a great concert to be at. Among the group of about 12 of us there was one guy who after waiting 6 hours, decided he was going to start to head out and beat the crowd. There was a half a million people there and we we're really squeezed in. Guy says good bye, S&G start playing, now the crowd really squeezes forward. An hour later he was maybe 20 feet from where he started, between songs we kept waving to him and yelling "bye". After show this crowd started moving away, got out to street and still a sea of people. We were going to take the subway back to lower Manhattan, but the people were packed like sardines in the stairways down waiting for the platforms to clear. I had never seen such a crowd. We begged off the subway and just started walking towards the World Trade Center. About a dozen of us, tripping heavily. We seem to move thru some rough areas, we just stay tight together and moved fast, very fast. Never gave anyone time to act upon us. Years later I heard Public Enemy's "Welcome to the Terrordome" for the first time the line hit me "move as a team, never move alone and welcome to the terrordome. Well that rambled on! Have a good weekend all.

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

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..

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!

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

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.

:) 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!!
