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.

Same Songs as the Studio Albums, ... Right?

Yea.. what do you say. I would call that a Bill Clinton deadhead because even though he put it to his mouth, he obviously didn't inhale (or drink the kool aid from the cup). I shouldn't be so harsh, you don't know what you don't know.. perhaps he/she will get clued in and have that aha moment we all had at some point. But that's crazy talk.. I had to chime in.

T-shirts and beanie bears

A few months ago I was at the local discount store, the young man in his mid-to-late 20s working the cash register noticed my SYF hat and remarked that he liked the Dead too- so much that he had a whole bunch of GD T-shirts, most of the CDs, and all of the beanie bears. I asked if he had any live shows, to which he replied, "Well, no, because they basically have all the same songs as the studio albums, right?" Quite honestly I didn't know what to say to that one. On another recent occasion- while on business- I was wearing my 'One Man' wolf hat (which is about as stealth as you can get- ie, no skulls). The gentleman I was talking with turned out to be a fellow Dead Head- he had made me with that hat. After business was out of the way he broached the subject and we proceeded to have a rather lengthy but totally enjoyable conversation about all things GD- the kind where you trade war stories with a fellow member of the tribe and experience that weird wonderfully warm glow of connecting with someone who truly 'gets it'.

where to sit....

i have always been a non-sitter , preferring the front third to the stage. I simply like to move when listening to music. Recently i find it comfortable to sit sometimes but not when i have to. When i saw Roger Waters two years ago in Vienna i had to sit third row and Mr Waters was way up ( maybe 6 feet above the ground ) , hence i was either watching his legs or i had to look at the video-screen. Yep, i still love open-airs where i can wander around , first half of a show front row , second half lying down in the grass , well, i`m getting older too...

rdevil, where to sit and how many

Rdevil, No I was not up front. I have never wanted to be or tried to be up front. My buddy always wanted closer. I always like to sit directly across from the stage in the first riser up. I've always found this put you just above the crowd on the floor and you got the fullest sound from the speakers. I remember one time though where we were half way down the oval and just above the first up section (indoor show). You could clearly hear the cymbal hit on stage and then it would bounce off the far wall and echo back and he hit the cymbal again, set up this tennis ball effect of sound,,, that was wild. I always thought being too close would put the sound over your head, beside being crushed! I was shocked when we saw Roger Waters "the wall" maybe 4 years ago. They had folding chairs set up on the floor, we were in the 11th row and EVERYBODY stayed just where their chair was. I was 11th row on the center aisle, I swear with a little tailwind I could have spit on Roger. That sounded great and no crushing! How many, how much dead? Maybe that's the third leg of that old saw, "never too rich, never too thin, never too much dead." I think I have all the official releases,,, I know on Dicks, I have cd copies of the cd's (in fact I have too copies like that), hard to justify spending money to back fill when I have perfect copies.

I Want a Divorce

Thanks Sixtus, that one always cracks me up. I need more shows! I am hesitant to show my significant other these.. I married a deadhead is classic.

Who Needs More Shows?

I'm certainly not the first to share this on these boards but I thought I would offer it up since it is entirely relevant to the current topic, and perhaps there are a few who haven't seen it yet. I still get a great chuckle out of it and can of course relate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfy3uJrfVWo Sixtus P.S. Kayak Guy that second set is very nicely front loaded, it's my kind of setlist on paper for sure.

How Many ?

Numbers just make this hobby seem dirty or like it's some sort of contest, and adding up how much you spent on it is a sure way to trigger buyer's remorse and miss the next couple releases, until you figure out you were wrong and buy them off ebay for way more than if you just bought them when they came out. Because now you have to fill those gaps in the collection. too much of everything is just not enough. 36 years ago today Capitol Theatre on 1980-03-30 Sailor>Saint to close the 1st set, Scarlet>Fire and Estimated>Eyes in the 2nd and John Belushi on the encore. i bet it was fun backstage that night ;) Set 1 Alabama Getaway -> The Promised Land Peggy-O Cassidy Loser -> El Paso Far From Me Tennessee Jed New Minglewood Blues Althea Lost Sailor -> Saint Of Circumstance Set 2 Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain Estimated Prophet -> Eyes Of The World -> Space -> Drums -> Black Peter -> Sugar Magnolia Encore U.S. Blues https://archive.org/details/gd1980-03-30.sbd.miller.92666.sbeok.flac16

How many shows vs. how many releases?

How many Grateful Dead shows have been officially released?How many official Grateful Dead releases have there been, so far? Let's start with these 3 official releases: 2016's "July 1978" 5 complete shows in this box set; 2015's "30 Trips Around The Sun" 30 complete shows there; 2011's "Europe '72: The Complete Recordings" 22 shows there, for the exception of 4/7/72 which is missing 1 song and another is incomplete. 57 shows over 3 releases. The Dick's Picks series, The Download Series, The Road Trips series and the current Dave's Picks series all contain more shows, or most of, or parts of a show, so that is a rather large number there. Then figure in the bonus discs and the original studio albums (with filler) all the film/video recordings for an even larger total. The Grateful Dead sure have been generous with their music over the last 50 years.

Bogus Tracking info

Dave's Pick #17, tracking information did not work. Called the store and they said they did not know the tracking number for my order. Placed an order on Friday and received the shipping information with a tracking number that does not work. Called the store and they said they did not know the tracking number for my order.I would suggest get this resolved before these boxes ship out. I think a month and a half is more than enough time to fix this problem.

You guys got me to finally listen to that show. You're right.. the show is crackling with energy, especially the Jack Straw. I listened to the Miller soundboard. Charlie mentions it was pitch corrected, but it still sounds pitched just a tad fast. Perhaps it was the coke.. The Jack Straw reminds me of the 4/4/85 Providence Jack Straw, but a minute longer and with better sound. Jerry is blazing on both, perhaps Syracuse is a little hotter. Thanks guys.. I surely will not be able to sleep after these shows rattling around in my brain, they should come with a warming, Powered by Cocaine.

Delivery Blues

I can get as antsy as the next guy waiting for this gem to hit my doorstep, but I think a lot of folks are forgetting one thing: When this was announced and orders taken, it was stated the they would ship May 13th. People! That is just this past Friday. So had Dead.net stuck with that, the earliest any one could have expected it was TODAY! So chill out and think about that for a moment. My delivery has been saying this Wed. all along, but it just got updated to Tuesday. I never count week ends in my calculations, so that means I got it in 2 shipping days. What more could I have reasonably expected? Now where the hell is my Dap19? Friggin' Fed Ex. LOL! Rock on

GFar

Never fear My Friend! Always have the time, find the time if needed. It's too much fun, too interesting, and too engaging NOT to! And you're exceptionally kind as always. That goes for The Whole Lot of Yous. Graciously, Sixtus, MS

Nice

Received this past Saturday. Sounds great. 7/5 Omaha, Sugaree starts out a little rough, fades in then gets dialed in, also a little "weirdness" in BIODTL for a couple of seconds. Minor quibbles. Can't wait to listen to the rest.

Diplomas

People ask why I hang my four diplomas in the bathroom in the office.Simply put In case we run out of toilet paper! Haha. But seriously congrats to the new graduate Honorable Sixtus

Re: HF, High Crimes and Misdemeanors - Returned Betty's

I have no inside information on this, which leads me to believe it was Zuckfun and his band of felonious monks aka Operation Kung Pao that got us the Returned Betty Boards. I'm not sure if we will ever find out the complete, true story or if we want to. Like in the movie, A Few Good Men.. sometimes the truth is better left unknown.

Box

Got box today .... Just listened to a few songs and it sounds fabulous! Norman and Betty did a great job. I haven't listened to much but this sounds like one of the better recording releases from a quality perspective. Not as crazy about the box design artistically. Nothing wrong with it just don't like as much as other releases Also got a E72 disk in same mail run so what a day. Plus still working my way thru DaP 18 and 30 trips. It's madness all the dead music I have. With 3 little kids there just isn't enough time!

Rocks Box spring tour....

is turning out to be so popular that it's now added new dates! Yay:(Damn thing has already passed THROUGH my state and gone furthur west.Oh boy.Was on it's way here today,but was so hot it turned around to do some time in SLC for a few more days. To TPTB....I can probably hook you folks up with a shipping company that,ya know,actually works. Nah.Having it get steadily worse this past year will work,huh? Sorry folks.Summer has begun with a vengence here in Paradise Lost. I'm f'n bent already......my apologies fer bitchin'.

Pretty Cool Video

Dave Lemieux talking about July 1978 - really sounds like it's awesome. Mine should arrive tomorrow!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Thkv4Uzm8k4

JimInMD, you can't handle the truth........

Kidding! Listened to the 7-1-78 set and it's rambunctious! Talk about packing it in and scorching the stage for those who dare to follow... yeah, baby.

Now wait a minute....

....if I recall correctly, takimoto lives overseas. Ok, I'm done wondering.... ....I think he's in South America. Does the Panama Canal count as overseas?....now I'm done

Vguy72

Not overseas ... Suburbs of Boston. Though sometimes I feel like I'm in a foreign country. Purposely taking the long way to work so I can some xtra time with 7/7. Enjoy all. I rec'd my box a day early so keep checking those mailboxes.

Rethinking 1977 vs 1978

This release has changed my perception of 1978. I used to think 1977 was THE peak and that 1978 was the unruly, less talented older brother. I now see (as Dave kinda said) 1977 as being consistently high, with 1978 having major peaks and troughs, BUT those peaks being just as high as the best 1977. And even kicking it up a notch, with a different energy. 1978 is just so ballsy and energetic, and I would bet some songs peaked in '78 rather than '77. So.... which songs were better in '78 than '77? I now see '77 vs '78 as comparable to "Sandy" at the beginning vs end of Grease. 1977: prim and proper, coloring inside lines, aiming for perfection. 1978: with perfection having been achieved, now showing a little leg, taking risks often with thrilling results. It depends if your in the mood for "preppy Sandy" or "leather Sandy". This month I'm all about "leather Sandy". Thanks Dave.

12/10

I love this album, thanks

Art Work

So has anyone found, or uploaded, art work for the individual shows?

Re: Tokimoto

Obviously Tokimoto lives in the basement of a famous French cathedral in Japan. VGuy, don't let facts cloud your view of realty.

BIODTL-Omaha

So, anyone else hear a little "weirdness" in BIODTL as I stated in my earlier post? Or is it my disc?

Out for Delivery

Yes yes yes.....and a day earlier than it said Friday.Standing by the mailbox, a rolled one in my hand.............

Up at 4 am this morning

I got up at 4am this morning so I could RIP all 12 discs and begin the relabeling process that I'm sure many of you go through with each new release. As part of my process, I prefer to find the best Cover Art available so that the beautiful artwork is in full display on the player... Can someone provide me with a link to jpg of the full CD cover as opposed to the small picture of the CD case partially opened (displayed at the top)? Thank you, iGrateful

Hoping it comes today.

Still waiting for my box. I will say it again. Dead.net is THE worst shipping company of all time. Nothing else even comes close. Those of us that pre-ordered this forked out 150 bucks UP FRONT months ago and most of us are still waiting. It's beyond ridiculous for the box to not be in our hands on or before the release date. It made me super angry to see the stand alone 7/8 show at Barnes and Noble this weekend and I don't even have it yet! So terrible and just not a good way to treat folks. No bonus disc, no free shipping for pre-orders and now it's almost a week past the release date. I'm getting fed up. I understand patience and all that but this is about how to conduct business and has nothing to do with the music. They have GOT to fix this!

Re: BIODTL-Omaha

There does seem to be a little sonic oddness at at the 1-minute mark. Goes in and out for about 10 seconds, but I can't tell if it was P.A. noise in the recording or something else. My initial impression of this set is very favorable so far. I don't generally spend a lot of time in this era, but I think I'll be listening to this one quite a bit. I also got the lowest number yet on one of these. Said number is d@mn close to double-digits. For all intents and purposes this matters not, of course, but was still pretty cool to see when I opened the box!

Mine is in San Francisco!

FedEx handed it to USPS at 5Am today in SF. I suppose it will be delivered to me tomorrow. I do remember when GDM products regularly arrived at my door on the "release date", or even a day early. This is not a big issue for me. But if GDM ever sends me a questionnaire about service satisfaction, this is another element of their service that won't get a "very satisfied" answer from me. GDM: "They may not be the best at what they do, but they are the only ones who do it".

Cover Art

I have a stupid question.Why don't people just take one themselves? I mean good cameras are all over these days. Just curious..................

Cover Art

Once my July '78 Box lands, I'll be making hi-res scans of cover art of box and all five shows. I've been doing this for several previous releases and some of you have already asked for cover art for this box. When I've got the scans ready, I'll repost to let you know – tomorrow maybe?

7/3/78

Well if there's any unevenness in this show, I didn't hear it (though I'm working while i listen, so not full attention). Just finishing set 2 now - the sound is so up-front and in your face! Jerry's guitar tone is bang-on. Everyone sounds so engaged. I was listening to Stella Blue and totally lost track of time and what song it was - just blissing out on the aural nirvana - in the moment - I love when that happens. The whole 2nd set is a joy.... Scarlet>Fire, Dancing are in the same Zip Code as Cornell. Stella Blue is riveting. Werewolves may be the best I've ever heard - not as crazy-manic as 7/8, a little more thoughtful - I'm REALLY digging this release. Cheshire cat grin as I put on 7/5/78 which, if I'm reading all the tea leaves correctly, is the best of the first 3 shows in this box... 7/5/78 BIODTL weirdness at 1:00 sounds like feedback/stage gremlins mucking with the monitors.

Out for delivery!!! 5/17/77

Out for delivery!!! 5/17/77 sounds like a good idea tonight for sure. I'm going to try an hold off on July '78 till this weekend and consume the whole thing.

Shipping

I know how you feel man, im hoping to get mine today its in my town at the post office but i know exactly how you feel i bought this back 2 days after it was anounced and while people where getting shipping orders almost a week in advance i got mine on the 13th

Hey Seth

Mine is in South San Francisco, "out for delivery". Guessing you should be getting yours this afternoon.

Received

Box significantly damaged=sadness. Emailed the good Dr. Rhino.

The Raven has Landed

6254 landed in my mailbox today - home doing remote training, perfect time to rip to PC. Anybody else cut the shrinkwrap around the seam so the plastic still covers both halves of the boxes?

Cut shrink wrap

I always do. I usually burn a copy and put everything back in shrink for storage.

Got mine and sounds amazing!

Got my box set yesterday and have been listening nonstop. I ordered about 2 weeks ago and got # 030xx, cant remember exactly. What #'s did you guys get? Curious. Also received a few Europe 72 shows last week and man I'm loving those, one drummer, one show without Donna, and Pigpen loud and proud. Such an amazing tour that I'm just now getting familiar with. I love this band!!

Random Box Numbers

mcgruber, Hysterical. Evidently the box # has nothing to do with the date/time the set was ordered. I ordered within a couple of hours of it being available and received my set Saturday. I got box 14,997! But it's the music that counts - right. And from what I've heard so far that's been very, very good. Both in terms of set and sound quality.

Arrival!

#2547 has landed in western CT. and it is a thing of beauty! I do like the looks of the May '77 box also, but to me, this one has more of the "Dead" look. It will sit proudly on my shelf next to the May '77 box for all to admire. Now, on to the music! Rock on

Promised Land Soon

My copy of July '78 left Crozet VA with Massachusetts on its mind, had motor trouble in West Virginia, met some friends who helped it to Northborough MA, and now it's working on a t-bone steak over Boston, hopefully touching down at my house today. When it does, I'll be sure to give it a chance to call Tidewater 4-1009.

hbob

Agree, this is much more the "Dead Look" than May 1977. I thought that was a weird choice of art (the May '77 that is). But anyway, mine is close, possibly there already: 5/17/2016 - Tuesday 7:20 am Out for delivery KeithFanVille, NJ Out for delivery with the U.S. Postal Service

Arrived

11185 arrived in NM. Probably yesterday morning, but they didn't list as delivered to my P.O. Box until evening. Ripping, labeling and listening.

'78 Box

Box #02331 landed just outside of Philly yesterday, but like Sixtus, I've got 2 little guys under 2, so I'm going to drop in disc 1 of 7/1 tonight. Can't wait! I am really liking the artwork of this box and the DaP artwork this year as well (wasn't crazy about last year's). I have to give a big ol' thank you to all of you on here each day. I have followed along on the various threads for quite a while, but I haven't posted until now. I just couldn't sit out anymore. There is too much great info, knowledge, and good energy that floats through here. You guys rock! In the immortal words of Pierre Robert- "God Bless the Grateful Dead!" Happy Listening!

The Eagle has Landed...

In W.MD. 07066 was delivered, the rider is resting up and the horses being fed for the return trip. Its a beautiful box. Lets see what it sounds like. Thanks all.. and seriously, I have been waiting patiently 38 years for this.. so waiting a couple days past an estimated ship date is no biggie for me. It looks great, no visible box cutter marks or scratches. Made my day. And welcome aboard, Old Chief Smokem. Its no surprise to see another tribal leader here. I have come to the conclusion that most of the leaders of the free world are deadheads and frequent this site, and a couple despicable despots. Occasionally they let slip their tell, and you can figure out who they really are (lookin' at you Putin).

So.... which songs were better in '78 than '77?

stella blue, definitely others: ramble on rose tennesee jed looks like rain cassidy the other one wharf rat music never stopped passenger peggy-o i also think most if not all of those songs peaked in 1978

There's actually a good answer, for me anyway...

...I bought the download version, so I didn't get any artwork - not even the kind embedded sometimes in the ALAC files. Personally, I really appreciate it that you make the kind gesture of sharing your scans!

practical shipping and streamlining services

Mine shipped Thursday, sat in Ohio Friday through Sunday, arrived in my state Sunday night, in my home town Monday night, mail carrier already came by for the day today (Tuesday) without package, so mine is sitting in my local post office and likely won't arrive until Wednesday. It's been sitting at my local post office for 2, going on 3 days. Sadly, it's only a 10 minute walk from my home to my local post office and I can't just go there and pick it up. MusicToday had a better shipping system in place.

#1994 home safe and sound

Where to begin? Easy 7.8.78 and off we go...................

7/3 Scarlet Fire

#5106 arrived safe and sound south of Boston, thrilled with this box! Havent had a chance to really dig in but the Scarlet Fire from the 7/3 show is a thing of beauty as is the Lazy Lightning>Supplication from 7/5, cant wait to really consume this box but so far I'm very very happy with this release!p.s. the sound quality is top notch

#6892 Springfield

Listening in order, Arrowhead!!

7887 showed up today in Bucks County...

imported and uploaded and loving the KC show...

Old Chief Smoking Ifu Gotum

I'm just over the bridge from Philly, mine also landed. I left work early to get it, and am stuck in rain traffic on 95. Grew up on Pierre Robert.... Jimbo, which show u wait 38 years for?

Sound Quality

This might just be the best 2 track sound I've heard from the Dead. 7.8.78 is very crisp and clear with punchy drums and clarity. I'm sure there are many factors involved from Betty on through mastering, but this is excellent sound. The performance is very upbeat too. Great to hear! Disc 1 from this date is all I could squeeze in, but summer 2016 will be filled with July 78 I'm sure!
