    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.

    First, congratulations on the arrival of a new addition to your family! Bless you and your family. Anyway, I felt compelled to jump in here because of your very interesting posts on the subject of higher consciousness, the Tao (OK, I added that part, but it's the same point), and the different ways people may find their way there. I am reminded of a story in I book a read long ago by Ram Dass, who was an associate of Timothy Leary. Now, my memory is not great, and it has been at least 25+ years since I read this book, but if I remember correctly, Ram Dass traveled to India in search of a Guru, which he did eventually find. So, he gives this Guru an extremely large dose of LSD, fully expecting said Guru to lose his mind. Much to his surprise, this Guru does not seem at all fazed by this mega-dose of LSD. Ram Dass asks him, "How did you like the LSD?" The Guru responds, "It was very good, but not as good as meditation." Perhaps in the same book, or maybe somewhere else, I remember reading something that has stayed with me all these years and made perfect sense to me...(paraphrasing here)... The person who takes LSD is essentially drowning in the mystic waters that the meditation practitioner swims in. That is to say, that LSD offers an ephemeral glimpse of the hidden reality we are usually unaware of, while the practitioner, little by little, learns to master it. Which only makes sense when you think about it; one puts a little blotter on his tongue, while the other spends years perfecting his art. You get out of it what you put into it. I don't think there are any shortcuts. This is not a judgment on my part (I have been on both paths personally in my life; fleetingly, in both instances), but rather an observation based on personal experience. Take from it what you will. But back to the Grateful Dead...there is no doubt in my mind, that what the boys did was as close as one could get to the "oneness" with the universe that can be attained through music. There are times when you listen to the Dead where you hear, without question, that they have, as musicians and as a group, transcended time and space, and have reached the pinnacle of "being here now" with the music. Or, as we all know, many times "the music played the band." I once seriously considered giving my Zen Master/Martial Arts Master (I'm talking 26 years ago) a bootleg tape of the boys to listen to, just to see what he would say. I never did, figuring (probably correctly) that he wouldn't have the baseline knowledge of Americana music to really appreciate the transcendent nature of it, and to experience what I did. Anyway, all that is to say, that I know just what you're talking about. And I agree...the Grateful Dead do often open the door to that realm for us as well.

    10 Years Ago I Walked This Street
    My dreams were riding tall.. _____________________________________ Yea, I have no idea what the implications are of a contract extension vs. letting the contract expire might be. I have no idea what's going to happen and I imagine we won't find anything out until it in the rear view mirror. I can't imagine GD Merchandising would want to take this in-house again though. The website would have to be completely rebuilt or absorbed, manufacturing would have to be spec'd out and outsourced and they would be responsible for marketing, distribution, warehousing, etc. David Lemieux would likely become even more distracted than we thought possible. Unless Rhino really pissed off someone in the organization (which is possible) I would think they have a shot at renewing this. Then it becomes an issue of money, terms and contract iterations. Then again, if the money wasn't right.. they could afford to take it in house and beef up their staffing, etc. I also wonder if the overall strategy would change as Kayak Guy seems to think, specifically less emphasis on CD's and more on digital and vinyl. I have no information on this, but I can't see them turning their back on CD's and Box Sets just yet, its currently their bread and butter for all things GD. I bet its happening now though.. so either we will find out or we won't in which case it will be business as usual. To complicate things, I hear wjonjd is just days away from finishing his tunnel and punching through building foundation five floors below the vault. When he finishes the contract details will be moot and we will be marketing KeithFan's picks from our island in the Pacific. Apparently the drought has made the soil there rock hard... so digging has been arduous and slow. On that note.. back to my regularly scheduled listening of 4/25/77, what a great Wharf Rat > PITB out of drums. Mesmerizing... _________________________ Walking along in the Mission In The Rain

    Ten Year Deal
    First off congrats Sixtus on the paper and the imminent arrival of #2, it must be busy in the Sixtus household right now. The GDM final release was April 2006, it was Download series #12. That was 10 years ago this month. Given that it takes a while to put together the packaging and distribution, the contract was probably finalized in summer 2006. The first Rhino release was Jan 2007 with Live at the Cow Palace, which was followed with 3 from the Vault in June 2007 both from multitracks and then Road Trips Vol 1 #1 in November 2007 which was the first of the Rhino 2 track releases. Like I said, ten years of the original deal is probably close to the end and has the rest of Dave's Picks 2016 and a fall box left still under contract. I predict more downloads and vinyl releases, that's where Rhino makes the best margin and CDs are continued as limited releases for the hardcore collectors.

    Kayak Guy, the Ten Year Deal and....Snoke Theory
    So Kayak Guy, just catching up from...A Little Diversion...I was never aware of the Ten Year Deal....is this true? I Love the link provided, and the threads, but they are loooooooong....I'm not sure I can make it to the end. But listen - I think we all can get what we want, when we want it - via The Archive - even if only still via stream - but there are other avenues too, here. A friendly poke or request usually does it; gratitude and offerings abound. Those who receive, give. And vice versa! I couldn't be happier with whatever has been released since whenever. I recall gathering XLII's and reveling in each thread of tape; what has landed and continues to arrive in our laps is amazing all things considered. And KeithFan, I'd love to trade Snoke Theories. My mind's been churning since mid-December. Sixtus

I just read something about an extended ending on 80s versions of FOTM. Does anyone know anything about this? Only 80s version I have is Dead Set, and it is my shortest one!

Do they make the Dave's Picks available for individual sale to those of us who didn't buy the subscription? If so, is it on the release date, or a few weeks before?

Yes they are made available usually a couple weeks before they are due to ship. Act fast as they always sell out. Speaking of acting fast many E72's are sold out. Glad I picked up the Bickershaw. I see 4/8 & 4/14 still available. Those are tremendous. A friend of mine loves the National & mentioned he may have to give the Dead a try. I felt like telling him he'd be opening a huge can of worms. He buys a lot of music so if he likes the Dead he'd eventually end up on Ebay tracking down all those out of print gems. It becomes an obsession. Rewarding yes, but at what cost? As Keith said it consumes you. Sign me up as well for the counseling

Thanks for the info. I check this site often, so hopefuly I'll be able to snap it up. I like the shows from places I've been. Everytime I go to the Fillmore or Great American Music Hall I try to imagine the Dead on stage. Since the Orpheum is another local place, this is a show that is right up my alley. Glad I picked up some E72 shows. I got 4/14, 5/13 and 5/16. I already had Rocking the Rhine and Steppin' Out, so the tour is pretty well represented in my collection. I'm sure I'll wish I got more later. Alas

I also saw that article today, and it is an interesting read. There was a similar article within the last year that showed the same basic pattern with psilocybin / psilocin, the increase in connectivity between brain regions outside of typical pathways. Check out "Psychedelic Renaissance" by Dr. Ben Sessa, an interesting overview of some of the current research into psychedelics. Lots of interesting stuff.

Hi all Great board ... I read a lot but don't often post. I Picked up 4 E72 yesterday. That brings my total to 10. 3 of the 4 shows I was after were sold out so I had to pick up 3 others from my "B" list to get to a total of 4. At these discount prices I couldn't resist. I have to think this will be it for E72. They've been in stock for a little long time and I assume they are trying to clean house and clear out some inventory. Sixtus, thanks for that drive-in reference at MUAM ... I live about 20 min from there and will check it out.

Greetings all. I feel very fortunate to have received my all music edition of Europe 72 this evening. I have owned 5/23 and 5/26 for a couple years and love them both. Disk 3 of 5/23 may be my favorite single disk Grateful Dead release ever. I was holding out on buying individual shows with the expectation of buying them all someday and when I saw the 25% off I jumped. I have to say that right after I ordered I was suddenly more excited to receive the package than I was even for 30 trips. I can't wait to work my way through this magical music. On that note, I have to believe this is not the end of the line of the Europe 72 releases. It may be a month or a year, but there is a market for it and no reason not to continue to produce the music. And, they should! On that note, I am calling for a re-release of Winterland 77! The demand for the box is huge, why not make more???? I can see the controversy with the Fillmore 69 box because of the way they worded that release. Round up at the movies, this release, Dave's picks, surviving members touring..... It is such a great time to be a deadhead. No other band on the planet even comes close to delivering any like this to their fans. There is just always something to look forward to. Next box??? Ark 69 would be amazing and my first pick! Alpine Valley 89 would be a winner too. I am excited for this 78 release and excited for whats to come. Goodnight dead land.

I like it better than 10/21. The Help/Slip/Franks of the day might just be a high water mark of the period, despite sometimes sloppy moments and some gravel in the harmonies. I like 4/10 also, but its a home town venue and a pretty crisp recording. Of all the 80's stuff released, I a most disappointed with Dicks 6 and Alpine '82. Its a sound quality issue with me, not the playing. Hope I didn't offend too many lots of my friends like both.., but I think there was some stuff in the Spring that sounds better and Scarlet>Fire from 12/27 that year is no slouch either. There's video of that that floats with a ghoulish looking Garcia absolutely shredding it. Also.. has anyone else noticed that you don't see Muleskinner post much when Dylan is on the road? I'm pretty sure he's the real bob, you can tell because his posts can get a bit surly when he writes after 10 pm CST. just sayin' Managed to catch David Gilmour last night at the Garden. A true artist I can honestly mention in the same breath as the GD with a shared reverence. Must be something about black t-shirts and psychedelic guitar riffs. Like Garcia, the way he would slip between acoustic to electronic instrumentation and still retain a seamless authenticity and meaning impresses me. I'd imagine this is the last we will see of him in the States, Fare Thee Well, David.

Ooops. There was something there, but I moved on and now I cant remember. Might have had something to do with muleskinner. Looks like the old man's.. getting old (and a little buzzed). Tickets were costly, good seats were almost two bills. A far cry from the good ole days, my first GD show was $10.50 and most were under $20. and VGuy, don't piss off the wife. The last thing we need is you crashing on our couches and playing punk and metal at ear piercing volumes. My gf has enough problems with my questionable music tastes and tendency to crank it up and rattle the walls in the wee hours. In truth, I cant tell if she hates Donna, Jerry or Brent the most. Perpaps that's why we never married.

bohlin, that is a great selection for best CD in the box. Nice to have both Sugar Magnolia and Uncle John's Band on the same CD (in fact my favorite from the box also has both - 5/25 disc 3). Yours also starts with that nice He's Gone (or is it Comes a Time? In the car now, can't check). But the real gem is that NFA / Bo Didley sandwich. Jim - good observation - I'm pretty sure mule_skinner is one of Dylan's roadies.

The Ramones are her favorite. Never been a big fan but I love me some Minor Threat and Fugazi. Desperately trying to resist the urge to buy up the remaining Europe 72 shows I don't have that are on sale. I keep telling myself I have enough from that tour and I really do. This is a battle of willpower at this point! Ha!

Went to see the aging parents in Salem these past few days. On the way down from Seattle experienced 2/3/78. :))) Burnt Weeny Sandwich. et al. At the coast for a night. burned some kelp and then listened to 13th floor elevators and then the Who best of while painting. then listened to Ramones 1st album. then White Light White Heat. Woke up at 2 am with a hankerin' for 9/2/78 Scarlet>Fire. burned some kelp and then called it up on Youtube. Oh what a fun time. Fell asleep afterward. woke up at 8 and listened to Bad Brains. on the way home listened to Thelma Theater (for some reason I didn't fully get off on that. hmm. that surprised me) and then Acid Mothers Temple and then 2/5/78. I really wish there was a career in this kind of thing. GOOOOOOOOD times, baby.

Well of course we did things differently on this side of the pond, saw the Ramones on their first tour, playing second fiddle to the Flamin Groovies at the Roundhouse, always found them to be a one trick pony, Shiela was a drunk docker....Saw the Pistols at their second (?) London gig at the Roxy, with the first iteration of Souxsie and the Banshees, saw tons of this first generation stuff at the Roxy since my job overlooked the club and my office was responsible for its maintenance, pretty much meant I could wander in just about anytime I wanted, I was 23 or 24, and was a bit too old for this, an old fart, but I really dug the energy, also frequented the pro situ milieux where Maclaren et al moved,so I knew its theoretical underpining, read Lipstick traces by Griel Marcus for insights in to its whole raison d etre, he is much closer to the truth than many other commentators would like despite what Mr Rotten says these days.

Probably because of my own experiences in the 80s, but for some reason i crack up when i think of someone taping over a cool show.. DL goes into the vault, pulls out a warfield show, only to find that someone taped over it with Magnum PI. I'm in a weird mood today.

Does anyone know how this song was extended in the 80s? I've read a couple of references in the past, to it getting an extra verse or solo, but I can't find anything different about it. Maybe it was after 1977 that the change happened? Either way, I can't detect a difference.

Definitely digging the artwork on the cd sleeves for the July '78 box. Glad to see that one of the sleeves has the same artwork as the single show release, I was almost considering getting that in addition to the box just to have the cover art. Particularly like the three sleeves with the skull in a natural setting, the ones with the stadium background are fine, but the others look great. The songs previewed so far really have me looking forward to this release. Hoping some of the artwork is available on a t-shirt or poster. Nice job Paul Pope.

That's the only punk I listened to, somewhere around '85-'86. Preferred rock n roll from the 60's/70's. And given the choice between 80's music or 'classic rock', it was an easy choice.

I had conversed with Dr Rhino last year and he indicated that the stock was finite and was not sure they would last a year, so I jumped on it when they had that FTW tix fiasco coupon last year and got the all music edition. If the All music edition is available, grab it and sell the duplicates. Email Dr Rhino to see if stock will be replenished... wish they'd replenish the Fillmore West all music edition ;) . EDIT: I'm a couple of weeks behind did not realize all music edition was sold out - my bad...

There is a studio outtake of Fire on Terrapin Station as part of the Beyond Description box set that has a different verse. As far as I can tell the verses are the same in the live versions.Cheers

I think they added the "Almost Ablaze" verse to Fire on the Mountain starting at Giants Stadium on 09/02/78. One of the Late Great Latvalla's favorite versions. There have been quite a few lyric changes and the song has an interesting history. Mickey first started playing pieces of what would become this song back in 1972. David Dodd talks about it a bit in his Greatest Stories blog and Annotated Grateful Dead project. http://www.dead.net/features/greatest-stories-ever-told/greatest-storie… http://artsites.ucsc.edu/GDead/agdl/fire.html There is some detail on wording changes at a few places on Dead.Net too. http://www.dead.net/song/fire-mountain So the short answer is the song went through some lyric and structural while they were preparing for Egypt.

For those punk fans out there, it's worth noting that Australia and New Zealand has produced some of the finest punk records of all-time. Radio Birdman is up there with Stooges, MC5 and the like; while the Saints are arguably pioneers in their own right. There are many others, like the Hard-Ons (they were forced to change their name when the toured the US to The Hard Ones) and dozens of thrash bands of quality: Hellmen, MassAppeal, Eastern Dark and so on. And the greatest UK punk band of all (IMHO) is The Damned. So many quality albums and still able to put on awesome gigs today.

....that an innocent post about busting my son's punk cherry with the Ramones would go on so long. Nothing like cleaning out the dust bunnies from the corners every now and then. Music is universal, even in the middle of a charged up mosh pit. Kudos on mentioning The Damned Simon. Difficult to remember them all as the seasons pass....

You're a bad influence on us VGuy. My mother warned me about the likes of people like you. Just today I thought, I wonder if Elmers Glue will make my hair stand up like a knifeblade? I asked my gf's 7 year old what his favorite Grateful Dead song was today. He said is Fire on the Mountain a good one?
