    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 think Parish should cut your lawn using some type of mower towed by his Harley from the '79 MSG shows.

    They did that the year before in one of my favorite shows. 5/11/77. Nobody should waste their dollars buying this set for anyone who would prefer a 198? box.. I'd love a copy of this. Best American band? I actually agree and had this convo with MY brother as well a few years back. He posed the question to me and one of our friends, because so many of the other great bands of the era were British. All I could think of were Grateful Dead, Eagles and maybe CCR or Allmans. But for me, it was definitely more between the Dead and the Eagles.. yes.. the Eagles. They were undoubtedly a great band and wrote a lot of very good songs. But I digress.. I definitely like The Dead better. Hard sell for my brother and other friend though, who just don't really get the Dead.

    Yeah all these releases should be free and the shows too. And, come to think of it, Phil and Bob should cut my lawn this weekend too!

    I was in a weird seat (side o' stage rafters) for Phil's birthday show, which colored down my experience. Still some definite highlights (Easy to Love You, Althea, Cassidy, Jed, Terrapin, Wharf Rat > Throwin Stones). Revolution was fun, even if Jerry missed nearly all the words! Us being a dyed-in-the-Apple Beatles family, I was embarrassed to face my sister, who attended her one and only show that night; worse, the sound wasn't dialed in yet for Sugaree, the one Dead song she knew. Oh, well. Her heart wasn't meant to be lassoed by our heroes. Next night I was right up front, though. You'd think the Black-Throated breakout would be the highlight....but I'd never seen anything like Brent's improvised sermon during Blow Away. Even Jerry was asking everyone to clap, with a big smile on his face...!

    Midway,I had to crack up at the woman getting mad at you because she wanted a freebie. Next night, same parking lot, my friends & I were trading our 3rd night Landover extras for 3rd night Nassau (an ultimately successful plot hatched on the spot by our friend Dean). A livid head righteously scolded by buddy Lee for not GIVING him his extra rather than trading it for no profit. Those are the heads I don't miss. I do still lament the forgone opportunity to gift my extra to a (nicer) head in need, which was my plan until Dean's emerged. Needless to say, though, I can't regret catching 3/30/90. Rosebud, Best American band, eh. Me and my brother just had this conversation three nights ago. We solidly, harmoniously named the good ol' GD. If we're traversing genres, then the Coltrane Classic Quartet is also hard to beat. (I'm sure a hoard of FM radio classic rockers would spout the Eagles -- but I doubt anyone here would. Even if a surprisingly softer spot appeared in my heart with Frey's death, after I'd roundly dismissed their worth for the past 25 years). Oroboro-boro, Speaking of the Dead and Coltrane, YES! re: your raised consciousness thoughts (and Jerry's, thanks for sharing). I read once that a pair of Buddhist monks attended a show and objectively noted the palpably raised vibration that ensued. I've read your stories, now, too! LoveJerry, 30Trips made up for A LOT where mid-80s is concerned. For the 15 years prior, the comparative numbers would look wildly different -- count the 81-88 releases in all those years, vs. 71-78. Not whinin', just sayin' (since you mentioned it). But you don't need to buy me a July '78 box, I've ordered one :)

    Phil's 50th "Spring Broke"
    nug.com keeps reminding me about Phil's Birthday. It is unreal to believe I got to do this but as those of us who were lucky enough to see them live they can understand these unreality's. Well it was 26 years ago I guess. I was a student at KU. It was spring break. What a concept. Well since we had nothing better to do. One of my room mates and I hit the road from kansas to the capital center in landover. must have been a nice day to get to do that. wish i could remember the conversation. oh lets got to maryland with no tickets. OK. things are easy when your young. Anyway the trip was nicknamed later "Spring Broke" because the car broke down in Vandalia Ill. so we spent almost all our money fixing the car. I will never forget that conversation. standing on a green lawn outside the repair shop. Should we go on with little money now and no tickets ? The answer of course was YES. those were the days. anyway when we got there it was the most sold out show I had ever been to . East Coast and with Phil's 50th birthday the show got even more difficult to get into. I remember a woman getting mad a me because I offered 50 dollars for a ticket. Which was all my money. She wanted one for free. 50 dollars was not even close to getting a ticket. SOLD OUT big time. Day one went by. No ticket. Day 2 I spent with a woman who I met on the summer tour at RFK going to the Smithsonian in DC. Day 3 back to work. Phil's B-Day. How do I get in. Money will not do it. Tons of people trying to get a free ticket. So I spent all day looking for a break. Now after that word I have renicknamed the trip" Spring Break" because I got one. Back in those days for me just seeing the lights set up through the glass doors behind a curtain was a lot for me. So at some point I went to stand and look through the glass at the lights inside while they were playing. Just as I was walking up. Some DC political normal types were walking out in the middle of drums. Suits and Dresses. I set my walk to theirs and because the security guard was so obsessed with watching the dancing in the hallway. He never even looked at me. Bam Bam. I was in. The Revolution encore was a wonderful moment in my Dead career. I remember clear as day watching during Throwing Stones brent toss a line to jer who tossed it to bob and phil finishing it. unbelieveable communication by the band.

    What other band does this??? Old ones with knowledgeable record companies. First why shouldn't the band cash in, they've worked their asses off and have a skill set nobody else had/has. Second from the record companies point of view, the audience (us) are dying off. Can't buy box sets in a old age home. Cause really no matter how good they are, things move on. Has the Elvis train been milked to it's max or the Beatles. Sure there are young folks (god, I've reached an age when I can say that!), but are they coming in faster than going out? This is at least a band whose catalog is so deep, it will take years to release it all. Probably not much left in the "unreleased material" column for Beatles, Pink Floyd. Do they just not have it for some? Did Pink Floyd not record their shows? Or is that the point, they did "a show", sure did a world tour, but the first show was the same as the last show. Which probably is a copy of the album! This started off that I was just being funny, but really what is your opinion about the band's half-life. I can see a time maybe with a late night television ad by K-Tel, where you can get the "greatest dead shows ever", 15 of the legendary band shows come alive, all re-mastered with dyna-sound (tm). All on 1 convenient flash-stick. 15 shows for just 14.95,,, and if you act now, you'll get a limited edition picture of Jerry. I believe they've already made a never going away sound and song book. Didn't they invent jam band? I could believe 100 years from now, there a Sinatra like guy doing stella blue in front of a orchestra. Sorry, prattling on, original question, "what other band does this?", nobody, because nobody else can!

    My take on Betty's storage locker
    Or what I know about copyrighted material (music) that I don't own the any of the copyrights to. If I won that auction with all these tapes, many years ago, I would have gotten in touch with a lawyer for myself who knows about copyright laws. Then we (or just myself)would contact Grateful Dead and at least have them refund me the price I paid for the contents of the storage locker, or at least the tapes, and have Grateful Dead pay shipping costs, if necessary. If the location of Betty's storage unit was close to the Grateful Dead's vault location, I would deliver the tapes myself and have the GD pay for my fuel expenses, and ask for a tour / view of the vault. I don't see any reason that the GD should pay an exorbitant amount of money to get their recordings back.

Another fine collection of Grateful Dead will be hitting my mailbox or doorstep in mere days. As if Dave's 18 weren't enough, now 5 more Bettys to soak up. What I've heard in the Listening Parties has me anxious to dig in. I'm not huge on May '78, which is mainly what's been released apart from the two Dave's 7 & 15. 7 is my least favorite Pick so far, 15 one of my top 4-6 (depending on my mood). The segues on 15 are not very good, but the songs themselves are extremely well played. The Listening Parties have much smoother segues, particularly that Estimated> Other One> Wharf Rat> Around & Around, but still the same powdery intensity that is the hallmark of '78 Dead. The biggest selling point to me is the 3 Wharf Rats! Was slightly disappointed that May '77 only had one, they killed Wharf Rat throughout '77, particularly because of the addition of Mickey for the huge build into the Fly Away, but Dave's 15 Wharf is probably my favorite version, so I look forward to these, plus Jack Straw, some Scarlet> Fire action. Anyone else excited?

All that talk of Walkerswood made me hungry. Picked up a jar at Kroger for $5, shrimp was on sale for $6/lb. Gonna have grilled jerk shrimp tacos. Just put in 5-9-77, having a beer while the shrimp soaks up some flavor. Will save half of the shrimp for tomorrow, they should be well marinated by then.Cheers, all.

Big shout out to Vince (Vguy72) - was great hanging out with him on Cinco de Mayo down in old part of Vegas. So cool to talk shop with a fellow head. Vince is a great guy - thanks for your hospitality! Vince - I'd post over at DaP18, but have not had a chance to listen to the release yet and would prefer to listen with fresh ears!!! Definitely looking forward to the new boxset! Will try me some of that Walkerswood. They sell the seasoning, marinade and sauce. Which do people use? I made 50 lbs of Jerk chicken wings for a ski club party once. Split the wings into roughly 10 lb bags - did one with 2 Habenero peppers, two with 5 Habenero peppers and two with 10 Habenero peppers. I preferred the 10 pepper wings. It was a lot of work to make - wore cloves but still had lost sensation in fingertips, but did not touch eyes or other parts that would really hurt :o

10oz jar of jerk seasoning hot and spicy will act as the perfect introduction. You can do mild, but the lack of scotch bonnet peppers will be missed. If you dig it, from there explore!We found a Bravo store close y with the full product list. Icecreamkid you are in for a lil bit of heaven with the shrimp. The only thing I've put it on so far that didn't truly rock was a burger. Not bad, but after chicken and shrimp, just not as orgasmic.

That's really great news. I hope I get mine soon and box like by the weekend!I didn't do the Daves script this year, thinking I'd do ala carte instead. But this box really set the hook, I ordered same day as the announcement. 5 shows will provide me a fix for most of the summer. I move slow with these releases, needing 6 or more spins to get the understanding of a show. Funds are low so I'm picking my cherries this year. Hope we all have um soon.

These Red Rocks shows are all-timers and we get all new Betty Boards! I absolutely CAN'T wait!! Beautiful artwork, essays and pics. Plus, the "Full Norman"? Yes, yes and YES! So excited that some of us will soon be holding this wonderful set in our hands and sitting down and pressing play. What a journey this will be. Absolutely nothing to dislike about this. :) Thanks to DL2/Pinkus and everyone at Rhino for pushing these projects into reality for us. This will be sold out soon and what a treasure it will be for years and years to come! Enjoy the >Jam

a lot of dollars, yes, but it isn't like boxzilla or E72. I find vinyl overpriced. This box is a wet dream in my opinion. GD78 is fantastic, classic GD to me. Christmas in May.

Not great timing.. but like Dantian before me my CD's get delivered by horse and it seems to take a fortnight from their shipping barn in Va. I'm heading to Philly to stalk some mailboxes of some heads I know. I need this box set now! (kidding.. reminds me of that scene in Willy Wonka, Daddy, I want an Upmah Lumpah now. Man.. those Umpah's really freak me out. Like... "cool it on the brown acid you guys, you're beginning to scare the grown ups").

Just got my shipping notice, still waiting for the delivery date to be updated. I feel like a child on Christmas Eve, really excited for this set. I skipped the Daves picks this year and am going to pick up 1 that is tbd. I have a question about HDCD and what people are using on here to listen to that higher res 20-bit format. I'm aware that the HDCD will play on a regular cd player via regular 16-bit playback, but I was wondering if anyone on here has a HDCD player, and where they got it? Or if people on here are using windows media player to play and hear the HDCD format (does WMP play out in 20-bit formats, thought they may since Microsoft owns the HDCD copyright now)? Any info and help on this would be greatly appreciated, thanks you.

There was lot of noise regarding this about a year or so ago. wjonjd and fourwinds did a lot of research on it (I think).. lots of back and forth on specs, what to play it on, what the impact is, etc. I think wjon burned from two different players to file and did some analysis on the resulting lossless digital files too, but could be wrong about this. In summary.. playing on a standard player does not seem to make a very noticeable difference in the sound quality. Keithfan had the best advice on buying a player, instead of rolling out big bucks for a new one, look on EBay. I got mine for something like $40 + shipping. I rarely use it..

No shipping notice. Passing the time with DP14 while I smoke some baby back ribs. One of those "no Donna" releases. That Eyes of the World from November 30, 1973 (disc 2) is bonkers. That is all. Edit: I've never heard a Brown-Eyed Women like that. DP14 has some amazing moments.

Rec'd my shipping notice and its with "FedEx SmartPost," a new one on me. The tracking # actually works and it indicates that FedEx got the "information" at 8:12am on Fri, May 6. Shipping notice from dead.net today, May 11. I'm outta here to the backcountry Mon, May 16, so I'm hoping to get my sweaty little paws on this baby by Sat. Or get the neighbors to keep an eye out. Come July it'll be 38 yrs since we fried our brains on the Rocks two days running for those July 7/8 shows. I still retain and experience little visual flashes of that stand on occasion. AND hitting the Rocks this year for Dylan, Tedeschi-Trucks (Los Lobos opening -- my two favorite live bands in one show) and Bonnie Raitt. My 42nd year at the Rocks. Oh, wait, shouldn't have defined myself as "old foot-in-the-grave hendrixfreak"... too late!!

....man, life sucks. I personally, have never had a release arrive a week later than when the first announcements started ringing. Never had a box cutter, missing disc, etc. Fresno has a small issue in Row Jimmy that even toothpaste can't fix. Can't explain why some heads get the slow boat to China. Some ship UPS ground, some USPS media mail, others FedEx air. Fucking weird business model. But, in the end, strap them on a sloth riding saddle on a slug. Just keep feeding me Seymore....

Lets see mine did something at crozet, va on the 6th. Six days later it made West Virginia, says in 6 more days will be here. Almost 2 weeks to go all of 1200 miles. That's worst than book rate at the post office.

I honestly don't understand it. Is it cheaper for dead.net than plain old US mail (media mail)? Because it is for damn certain slower.

But thanks for the vibe, JimInMD... It's kinda sparse pinon-juniper trees scattered across the savannah, but dense enough in places to give cover to the beasts. (Yes, including me and the four-leggers...) Today the tracker said that while "information" had been "delivered" to FedEx on May 6, an actual pkg left W. Virginia this morning. Yep, that'll arrive while I'm gone. Perhaps FedEx has the tracking thing down pat and that's its involvement? That might be an improvement over the "USPS" tracking, which has never worked for me. Had a flash last night to hold the RR shows til July 7/8 and do a back-to-back listen, but acknowledged to self that that's not realistic. Too eager to hear the tapes and compare new RR with old, boot RR. I'm thinking the quality difference will be tres noticeable.

Got my shipping conf and it should be here on Monday. I haven't been this excited for a release in a while. The clarity on these recordings is incredible, the subtle effects on Jerry's rig really ring and I'm basing this off of a lossy streaming format, stoked here!! I also bit the bullet on several Europe 72 shows, some of the more popular ones, 4/8, 4/24, 4/26, 5/4, 5/11, and 5/26. Looks like most of them are back in stock, although it also looks like 4 or so have been permanently removed, like 5/3, 5/10, and 5/25.
