    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.

    If any of you don't have these shows by now and are on the fence.. they are really must have's. Both of them. One epic, the other absolutely prime classic. They really are two of the best shows ever played (in my humble opinion). ..and yes, my soft spot is 67 to 74 also... This is good news (I think). I do have to wonder how fast these things are selling.. its been four years now..

    It isn't difficult...-pre-hiatus is older than 1974, -post-hiatus younger than 1974 I love it all, as most of us do, but we also all have favorites. Nothing wrong with cheering for the next pick. I'd rather chat about live GD than I would chat about random non-G.D. b.s. that clutters this board on occasion. By the way, do we typically get two box sets released each year, or is one box set released? I think one box set is released each year...huh?

    Looks like both 5/11 and 5/26/72 are available again in the store. I wonder if the (expected) increase in visits to the site this coming week have anything to do with that. Pop in to pick up DaP 19 and while you're at it grab a couple of the most famous shows of that era. Not a bad idea by the folks in charge (or it's late and I'm overthinking it)...anyway, they are available for those on this board who may be looking for them.... Regarding the upcoming release, my gut tells me it's 1970. I've been wrong before (ok every time) but either way should be a fun week ahead-

    I'll second that Mandalay pool praise--super nice, complete with wave pool and sandy beach. Way at the far south end of the strip, but pools make it worth it.In I think 2006 my wife and I went to a great, sadly now defunct (de-funked)festival there called "Vegoose," which they did for a few years over Halloween weekend. Phil and Trey played twice, Rhythm Devils (w/ Mike Gordon of Phish), Tom Petty, Widespread Panic, plus a ton of other great acts from other genres--Damian Marley, Fiona Apple, the Mars Volta, the Roots. It was 2 or 3 days of daytime shows at several stages by unlv, then night time shows at various places around the strip later at night. We got back to hotel from Phil and Trey night show at like 5 am. Wish that one still happened--with all the other festivals sprouting up all over and specifically through the summer, would've thought that the location and time of year could have made it a huge thing. Check out the lineups they had: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegoose

    ahh.. much better. I was reading some of the posts over the last few days and decided I needed some cheese and crackers to go with some of this wine(ing). :D I had to crack up because I just got my "Make America Grateful Again" T-Shirt in the mail Friday, today was its first wear. Serendipitous me thinks... Happy Sunday all.. and we can start by being thankful that I was not in VGuys car on the ride back from the pool. I would have surely ruined their harmonies... The last time I was in Vegas I stayed at Mandalay Bay. It had the most kick ass pool(s) I have ever seen in my life. Another thing to be grateful for.

    Maybe it's just me, but I'm not sure if Bolo's latest post is a clue, or just a demonstration of his recently learned Arabian counter-espionage techniques. Maybe he's conducting some sort of covert experiment, perhaps this is even the start of Operation Fried Mozzarella. Anyways, I'm not sure what to make of his clue, or of DL's comment that 19 is something they've never done before. Any pick is a great pick for me, but in looking at the larger picture, it seems we're due for either a very early pick (68-71) or a late one (87-91).

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

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.

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

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!!

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!
