    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.

    Awesome cassette tape!Lots of hours spent listening to that. One of the go-to tapes (before I built a collection of Dead recordings) for driving home after a concert.

    Like you, I lost interest in the synth years. I discovered Rush at 2112. Loved them up through Moving Pictures. After that, not so much. Their last cd, however, Clockwork Angels is a masterpiece. Very heavy, great playing from all. I would highly recommend.

    1972 & Rush
    ok i've had this tattered list of Eu 72 shows that i knew i'd buy someday, and i at least checked off three of them (on sale Yay!). 4/14 Tivoli, 4/21 Beat Club (I remember digging the meet up at the movies) and 5/7 which happens to be on the Rolling stones list of great dead shows...hmmmm. Anyway looks like i missed out on two of my hopefuls, 5/4 Olympia and 5/11 Rotterdam...damn! must be sold out. I just want to also put a Rush plug in for the Kiel auditorium 1980-show, not official but shouldn't be too hard to find, it's a boot that is a hoot. Full 2112 and fantastic Natural Science. This show is it for me, raw and ripping. peace

    Encore: A review of Dark Stars from Europe 72
    Per KeithFan's request (and my delight), I'm reposting one of my very first posts to these here boards; this is in honor of the 44th anniversary of the Europe '72 kickoff; and, specifically, the 44th anniversary of the first Dark Star played on the tour. I decided to look a little deeper into the Dark Stars from the Europe 72 trunk and do my best to qualify them to find, at least in my estimation, what is the best jamming the boys pull off - and most specifically - those Dark Stars in which they bust out the Feelin' Groovy Jam, a harbinger of intensity, melody, and mind-melding. Below is a short synopsis for each of the eleven Dark Stars from the trunk, followed at the conclusion by my recommendation for the most intense and enjoyable foray that can keep your toes tapping. While off topic of Boxzilla, I thought since I put the time and effort into this search, others may find it interesting or of value. I had looked for something similar previously anywhere on the interwebs, but to no avail. Here goes.... 4/8/1972 - Wembly Empire Pool, London - 32 mins; intense/fast paced first leg up til about 10 mins then returns to DS theme for 1st verse; spacey post-verse til ~17 min, then pace picks up for a few minutes, followed by a brief meltdown; additional spaciness around 24 mins followed by another full meltdown; interesting groove established around 28 min that has hints of Sugar Mag (into which it segues, flawlessly). No second verse. 4/14/1972 - Tivoli Concert Hall, Copenhagen, DK - 29 mins; loose first 10 mins not overly spacey; gets spacey around 11 mins; interesting groove establishes around 16 min to head into first verse w/interesting beat; heads off into intense nearly 7-minute jam inclusive of a very tight and fast Feelin Groovy jam; final 3 minutes are a meltdown. No second verse. 4/17/1972 - Tivoli Concert Hall, Copenhagen, DK - 31 mins; spacey opening to about 7:30 when first DS theme emerges leading to 1st verse at 9:45. Spacey post-2nd verse tries to take off but melts further around 19 min; returns to a partial groove around 24:30 and closes out with spaceyness in the last 2 mins. No second verse. 4/24/1972 - Rheinhalle, Dusseldorf, Germany - Split by Me & My Uncle; 26 mins 1st half, 14:30 second half. Spacey opening until about 8:45 where it coalesces and falls into first DS theme around 10:15 followed shortly by 1st verse with slow, sparse notes. Spacey feedback following verse until 15:45 and then picks up into an intense, fast paced jam for just under 2 minutes before it becomes dissonant again leading to major meltdown which eventually heads into Me & My Uncle with ease. Second half: spacey reintroduction persists until about 7 mins, where Keith leads-in with some piano phrasing and then the band follows into a tight fast paced jam where Jerry plays some lines back and forth as if in conversation with himself and then maintains an intense level effortlessly segueing into Wharf Rat. No second verse. 4/29/1972 - Musikhalle, Hamburg, Denmark - 30 mins; spacey opening for ~5 mins, then enters a groove and Phil hints at the Feeling Groovy jam until it finally is joined by Jerry a minute later until about 8:00, then the floor drops out into space. DS theme appears at 14 min which leads to first verse. Spacey post-verse noodling leads to major meltdown, settling in at 22 mins with a fat, fast-paced Keith-led groove. Final 4 mins are spacey & lead to major melt #2, dropping into Sugar Mag as DS finally melts away. No second verse. 5/4/1972 - Olympia Theatre, Paris - Split by drums; 19 mins 1st half; 17:34 2nd half. Spacey opening til about 6 mins when fast paced jam kicks in until 11:20, slowing down then resurrecting the DS theme into the first verse. 4 mins of space leads into drums. Second half post-drums is very spacey until 7 mins, then kicks into overdrive with a very high energy jam leading to a phenominal Feelin Groovy Jam for several minutes before settling into the second verse. DS dissipates into the Sugar Mag from E'72. 5/7/1972 - Bickershaw Festival, Wigan, UK - 19:49 mins; decent, coherent jamming for the first several minutes that congeals nicely around 8 minutes. Bottom falls out around 10 mins and leads to some light noodling, cymbal fills and space. DS theme emerges at 14:23 and heads into 1st verse. Space fills the air through the remainder of the song until it totally breaks down into drums. No second verse. 5/11/1972 - Rotterdam Civic Hall, Netherlands - Split by drums; 13:45 mins 1st half; 30:34 mins 2nd half; Opens with a light, airy jam that persists to congeal into a decent groove as it treads in and out of spacey phrasing. This settles into a mysterious sounding jam that grows with intensity without a return to the DS theme before dissolving into drums. Emerging from drums, Phil and Billy duel for 2 minutes before Jerry joins back in with some complimentary thoughts; the DS theme appears around 5 min followed by 1st verse. A few moments of spacey feedback give way to spacey noodling that devolves into a full blow chaotic meltdown, only to emerge around 19:30 into a very nice, fast paced groove that hints at Caution and PITB jams. This eventually dissolves and a light, sparse outro ends the song as it heads off into Sugar Mag. No second verse. 5/18/1972 - Kongressaal, Muenchen, Denmark - 28:20 mins; almost 2 mins of noodling before opening notes from Phil; a loose jam ensues around the DS theme for the next several minutes and then decays. At ~9 min an interesting jam emerges, which eventually settles back into the DS theme and 1st verse around 14:30. The remainder of this DS is borderline chaos as it treads in and out of varying degrees of a meltdown until it settles into Morning Dew. No second verse. 5/23/1972 - The Strand Lyceum, London - 30 mins; Spacey opening minutes lead to tight fast paced jam commencing around 3:30 for two minutes and then it settles into another spacey jam digressing to almost…nothing. Billy and Phil then have a small duel until ~13:30 when the rest of the band fills back into a delicate groove which grows to into a jam reminiscent of the post-Truckin' foray from E'72 until about 17 mins, when they drop into the DS theme and 1st verse. Ensuing is additional delicate spaciness that transgresses into a frenzied meltdown madness, and eventually settles into Morning Dew. No second verse. 5/25/1972 - The Strand Lyceum, London - 34 mins, out of Wharf Rat. Strong opening with a groove almost from the beginning, no noodling around here in the first 7 minutes. Then turns very spacey until 15 mins when DS theme appears, and heads off into 1st verse. Post-verse finds a Billy, Phil, and Keith duel for several minutes. At 21 mins, Phil institutes a mellow Feeling Groovy jam, soon joined by the rest of the band until ~25 mins. Final minutes are dominated by space and then a monumental meltdown before heading off into Sugar Mag. No second verse. Final Verdict(s): It is a very close tie between 4/14 and the second half from 5/4. I put these on the pedestal due to the crazy, intense jams surrounding the Feelin Groovy sequences. They are just interstellar. Part of me also wanted to simply catalogue which Dark Stars included a Feelin Groovy jam from the '72 trunk, so I feel my work is done and I can rest easy. I'd be delighted to hear if any others had similar, or more excitingly, differing thoughts. Sixtus

    Europe '72 Single Shows Discount Remains
    Single shows from E'72 are still 25% off. I saw the All Music Edition for 25% off yesterday, but by the time I decided it was worth it even considering I already had 8 of the individual shows, it was sold out. Picked up a few of the individual shows that I didn't have and they are still 25% off today. Is this because it is the anniversary of the E'72 tour, or is there another reason?

    Europe '72: The Complete Recordings Sold Out
    I wonder if they'll restock.... Thanks for re-posting that Sixtus, it will make a nice point of reference as I get into each show for the 44th. I never thought to rank them. 4/8 and 4/24 are maybe my two favorites, but then again, I'm always picking up new things in the music, and my preferences shift over time. Also doing some prep work for the July '78 box. I have 4/10/78 queued up and ready to go... What will be nice is if DaP 18 takes us all by storm next month -there's nothing I'd like more than a blockbuster from '76 to help me overcome the blind spot I have for that year (as a good friend once described it). P.S. - just read your 4/8 review Sixtus. It's funny you mentioned the hints of Sugar Magnolia, because I heard it myself the other day (it was the bass line), and I thought hmmm, is that Phil letting folks know he's ready to move on...

    Whoo Hoo. Thanks KF and Sixtus. (almost) agree w/ your best DS list. 4/14 and 5/4 are among my favorites. There has to be a special ranking to the one I just listened to, its almost always my favorite and that award goes to 4/8. I'm one of the ones that likes 5/11 too. Then there's the honorable mentions. Both Lyceums are outstanding and the sleeper award might have to go to 5/18. ahhh.. its that spring 72 time of the year again when I revisit some of my favorite shows and get trashed in the cold mountain streams as I dust off my kayak and realize how out of shape I have become over the long winter. ______________ Listening to 12/3/81 Madison WI on Satellite Radio. Great show, great sound. I think the Its All Over Now, Baby Blue from Postcards from the Hanging is from this show.

    Gah!!! Wish I had all of those shows. I'd love to follow along on the anniversary dates. I do, at least, have today's and 5/11/72. The rest may have to be supplied by Spotify. I will also be playing the upcoming spring '77 shows as the dates go by.

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.

Consider yourself on the way to being a successful parent when your child is well versed in the Ramones. What's next Stooges or Sex Pistols? I have a feeling either would REALLY p*ssoff Mrs Vguy!

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.

I'm a big Dead Kennedys fan, probably the best punk band in my eyes. Also check out the band Punk Is Dead, they play punk covers of Dead songs, pretty cool-

There's an album of Jello Biafra backed by the Melvins called 'Never Breathe What You Can't See' that came out in 2004 that's a good listen if you're a DK's fan and if you're interested.

For those who appreciate DUB reggae 1970's style, Bad Brains has a CD called "I & I Survived." It's a great dub-reggae CD!

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.

One of those big "oops" goes to Doctor Who and the BBC. At some early point in Doctor Who the BBC dumped a load of tapes because it was costing money to store and who would ever want "them" again. :-)

I wonder if those 2 acoustic/electric 1980 Saenger Theatre shows in New Orleans were taped on multi-track. Maybe they didn't get wiped! Could be a nice mini-mini box.

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.

Do Forgotten Rebels and Teenage Head count as punk bands. Besides the Dead Kennedys they are the only bands i can remember from my brief and painful skateboarding days. On a side note im selling my E72 box if interested pm me. Peace

Artwork looks great to me! I am glad they are showing people what they are spending their money on too. Really excited for this one. Vguy72, it wouldn't be an official Rhino release without worn/frayed spines!

I daydream, here and there, about getting a turntable. Holding those big album sleeves . . .. Reading the liner notes. . .. The glorious artwork. . .. Ahh. . .. To be savored . . .. With alcohol.

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?
