    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.

    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.

Hell yea.. Keithfan.. you surprised me on this one. If its primal, I do like complete shows.. its an experience thing. I recently listened to 2/14/68 and it blew me away like it was a first listen. I'm with you in spirit man.. its my soft spot. Just don't mention the word Pigpen three times or you invoke the spirit of HendrixFreak. Once that shit is out of the bottle, its very hard to put it back in. Just sayin'.

....my first three day run, met Bill Graham briefly, David Lindley and Los Lobos opened. My first Lobos experience. Have seen them approx a dozen times since. Awesome scene. AM fog in the campground every morning. Gels and goonie birds everywhere. A complete Playin' the first night. A China -> Crazy Fingers-> IKYR and Smokestack out of Space the second night. Hildago sat in for Rooster and West LA in the first set Sunday. Last Start Your Engines (grate Brent tune). Morning Dew ended the second set the third night. When it started it was blazing hot, then the sun set mid jam. By the end of Dew, it was chilly cold. Timed perfectly. Midnight Hour encore. It was my tour buddy's birthday (Karsten. You still out there buddy?). I recall several Peanuts Pigpen dust clouds all three days from all the dancing. The next morning, I couldn't find my car keys. After frantically searching for an hour, another buddy had them in his back pocket the whole time. Then found out someone siphoned the gas from my tank. Had to push (comes to shove) my truck down a grade to the gas station. Grate times. Wouldn't change it for the world. These NEED to be released....

KeithFan: I'm familiar with 99% of that GD music mix you put together...a masterful job! I got a flashback just reading it! Excellent taste, sir! JiminMD: You mention how Eyes Of The World "pulled you towards the light." Are you aware that Eyes Of The World is taken from the title of a book by "Longchen Rabjam" (1308-1363) one of the greatest masters of "dzogchen," the "great perfection," the highest level of ecstatic Tibetan Buddhism? Eyes of the World is one of his books! Extremely enlightening stuff...though my favorite book by him is: "A Treasure Trove of Spiritual Transmission."

Jerry started out the 6-22-76 show at The Tower Theatre in Philly with US Blues, There was a huge US Flag by Keith's piano. When He was playing lead, He would face it. I liked Mars Hotel, I have a copy on cassette tape.

Haha, yeah, I'm pretty much a one trick mule, but I do have one or two tricks up my sleeve. If you think this was a surprise, just wait until my Throwing Stones Reprise urge kicks in (circa Pine Knob '91) and I unleash an 80s/90s playlist! It's funny, I usually do go for shows, not mixes, but as I browsed my library, I saw so many Pigpen nuggets I wanted to hear.... Pigpen Pigpen.

Coming up on 40 years of "doing" Dead. Last month on my way to Yosemite, coming out of Needles, CA heading across desert, had a kick ass eyes playing, got to the last line, "sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own" and the tears were running down my face, so yeah, Inspiring shit indeed sir!

Did they really play Lovelight twice on 4/27/69? It's kind of weird how this release was edited. It looks like a large section of the 4/26 show was left off, but the entire 4/27 show was included in its entirety, giving us two long Lovelights. I wonder, since there do not appear to be concerns about releasing partial shows, why not edit out one of the Lovelights from 2/27, so that more of 2/26 could be provided? Or why not add a 3rd disc and release two complete shows? I can only assume audio problems with the missing 2/26 material. Does anyone know anything about thsee questions? It would be cool if they drafted up some detailed liner notes for Dicks Picks releases... Edit - Note: this post was brought to you by the letter "e" (entirely in its entirety). Double Edit - As I listen to this, I can kind of answer my own questions. It looks like they didn't so much play Lovelight twice, so much as they played a big-ass 100 minute medley, in the former of a Lovelight sandwich. It's more like this release is the 4/27 show, featuring bonus material from 4/26, which has been included first, for which are now obvious reasons. At this point, I should really just delete this post, or edit it down to "Dick's Picks needs better liner notes".

Since D. Duryea reminds us of Paul McCartney's birthday, I was wondering...has anyone ever "judged" someone as being compatible to you (or not) based on their Beatle preference? For example, if someone tells you they like Paul better than John and/or George, do you automatically rule them out as someone you can get along with?

Really have been enjoying the 78 box. It is quite tasty indeed. Was quite fascinated that on 7/5 they divided the lysergic jam sequence. I had never noticed them doing that before. Does anyone know how often they did that? Then I became completely intrigued by the fact that D&C did that again last night. Maybe the first lysergic jam sequence in 30 plus years...and to divide the jam sequence is very fascinating and I am guessing a tip to 78. Glad to see the cryptical messaging is going forward.

Good question. I came close in the old days and now explain to youngsters how it went. 1st was were you a Paul or John fan. In my eyes John fans were more out there, troublemakers whereas guys who were Paul fans were anachronisticly a bit light etc. But it goes further were you a Stones fan ( 60's) or Beatles with the same personality breakdown. Some won't agree but growing up in the 60's that's pretty accurate

Good news - I don't think it's harder to live up to paternal expectations than in the past - I think it's easier. Why? Because there are so many more books and studies and workshops on good fatherhood than ever before. Also, there are clear expectations and norms nowadays, where in the past, there were very murky guidelines, and inadequate means of measuring success. A simpler way of looking at it: in the past, you had to figure out the correct strategy, learn the playbook, AND execute it. Nowadays, all you have to do is learn the playbook and execute.

For Father's Day I got a box containing various Asian beers. Some I recognize, some I don't, some I have heard of, some I haven't. Only one have I ever tried before, Tsingtao from China. I drunk some in China in 1988 when the rest of the beer in China (and believe me there was an awful lot of it) was of dubious quality at best. One of the most surreal sights I have ever seen was a Chinese beer convoy rolling south across the desolate Tibetan plateau. Maybe 50 trucks all loaded with beer travelling in a long line, witnessed almost exclusively by herds of disinterested yaks. Ah, memories of pleasant times gone by.

First off, happy Father's Day to all the Grateful Dads out there. That, in turn, reminds me of the 'Make America Grateful Again' Jim brought up. That's hilarious / awesome, any political thoughts one way or the other aside. On the Youtube gal, I'll give her props on her pipes (Vocals that is..dirty minds). I haven't kept up with the latest sensations, but here's a few of my favorite non-professional female Youtubers: Fine & Agatha - Two French (I presume?) gals covering Tom Waits, among many other good ones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRPM7kyoPhs Kiersten Holine, Boots of Spanish Leather: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sC9cxMT0Rro I love the title of this one, Punk Accordion Player and some Nuns: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0P0EvJOfRQ Lilania Rose..Some may say she's reminiscent of Joan Baez, but she reminds me of Elvis. Battle Hymn of the Republic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Js_hFNpaS38 And to repeat myself (again), this gal doing Highway 61 in ASL is super cool: https://vimeo.com/30210906 On July '78...finally finished my first run through the box, with several repeats in between. 7/7 is the one that does it for me so far...maybe it was just the aftermath, but 7/8 was rather lackluster to me. Onward to repeat listens. In regards to our Stephen King discussions, started The Stand earlier this week. It is the uncut / bonus scene version from what I gather, about 60% through so far. It has certainly held my attention in a weird, gnawing, apocalyptic way, but not one where I would say there is any character that I actually like so far. Maybe the mute... Really liked the CBS Morning Show link that was posted, thanks. I love that show, but rarely think to catch it lately. Lastly, any bets for tonight, Splash Brothers vs. The James Gang?

Saw your post about listening to the Dead uninterrupted in Heaven. I'm hopingfor a Heaven where we can actually see them live, any year, any show. Behind door #1, Sunshine Daydream, Veneta, OR, 8/27/72; behind door #2, Rockin' The Rhein, 4/24/72; door #3, Fillmore East, 2/13/70, etc.....kind of like time travelling, only without the Delorean.

Lost as well.. I am just getting to my first guess. Ken Goodman / Eyes of the World - I did not know about the connection, but it doesn't surprise me. Cool stuff. Finally.. today in Grateful Dead History on SiriusXM is featuring one of the FE shows from 6/20/1969. I am not seeing the setlists on Setlists.net.. interesting stuff, its a Bear cassette during the transitional period.. some rare stuff, Pedal Steel.. some Pigpen. It just wreaks of that era of the Mountain Girl returned tapes that I feel we will be getting soon.. Perhaps never done before is a hybrid acoustic/electric show(s)?

After CAV's historic victory, I've observed an equanimity of joyousness throughout the city, clear through the usual divisions of race, age, gender, etc., a beautiful afterglow that (at some level) will never go away. I wonder if the same euphoria, transcending race, age, gender, etc. will be evident at the upcoming Republican convention. lol!

You spoke of time travelling; in a Delorean???? That's just crazy movie bullshit. EVERYONE knows you need a Police Box to time travel :-)

I checked out your picks, the accordion player was neat, I think she was playing "hurray up she's rises/early in the morning". I like that stomping on wood style. Here's a nice link to a great accordion display of the "indifference waltz", guy really uses instrument to max effect. That Roland FR7 electric accordion is amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUjCfBo-R38 Agathe & Fine was nice, what shocked me most was the fullness of the bass sound when the second woman started playing the guitar. Didn't know if it was the recording or she had a bass string on her guitar. Kiersten Holine, Boots of Spanish Leather was VERY good, I thought she was going to cry near the end, her voice was so full of emotion. I watched several of her videos. I laughed to myself though because I wondered if she was really playing a guitar since I never saw one :-) I also wondered who sang with her. Lilania had nice voice, The Battle Hymn only moves me so much (though it's one of the songs I sing to myself). Didn't see an Elvis connection. The Highway 61 in sign language is neat to watch, I've seen that one before.

hey any chance you can recommend some Bob Dylan shows from 1975, I have one official release Bootleg Series, I think its called "Rolling Thunder" I am seeking more from this period, purchased this when it was released and it got a ton of spins. A few years ago this release took total control of my car stereo and it did not eject for months also looking for more stuff related to "Another Side of Bob Dylan" album , probably my favorite

Found the riddle as well; got past the 1st clue, which narrowed things down to a dozen shows. I picked the wrong one though.

Happy Solstice to all... Caught Dylan at Red Rocks last night, second row, center. Great music, great band, Bob did rockin', boppin' versions of many classics (Tangled Up in Blue, She Belongs to Me, Blowin' in Wind, Early Roman Kings, too many for instant recall, plus ballads off the latest digression CD)... But, I digress: JimInMD mentioned DaP 19 guess/wish: "Mountain Girl returned tapes that I feel we will be getting soon.. Perhaps never done before is a hybrid acoustic/electric show(s)?" MDJim, we did get the one-disc 4-18-70 with that beautiful Pigpen set and I'm thinking the preceding band material was a hybrid acoustic/electric ensemble, but I'd have to check. So, "something different" is hard to pin down.. we've had returned tapes (check), we've had a sample of the Mtn Grl tape stash (check), we've had returned Bettys (78 box, check), we've had misc returned tapes that made a show whole again (DaP 10 Thelma, check), we've had the bulk of two shows in one release (DaP 18 and others, check), what's left for uniqueness? I doubt it's an 80s show with DVD (if worthy, that'd be a standalone release). I still like the notion of several 75-min shows in chrono fashion in one DaP, which could be a 3-night stand from 68-70 era (if that ever happened), or 3-disc release of a one-disc 68, one-disc 69, one-disc 70, although that's far-fetched... I"d say Bolo parachuted in to rile the masses just before an announcement... Not that there's anything wrong with riling the masses -- I mean, that's what rock 'n roll does, right? Help me out, people. As long as there's some grease in DaP 19 and ya know what that means!

I just got this. I can't believe how good this is. I was sitting through the first show on 11/9/73, thinking OMG I can't believe people don't talk about this show more (highlight was Here Comes Sunshine), and then 11/10 was next, and it was even better than the 9th (really love the Playing / UJB / Morning Dew / UJB / Playing, and then to top it off, 11/11 had that great Dark Star / Eyes of the World and Loose Lucy. And even better, I got it for $99, same cost as it was here. If you don't have this, you should grab it while the price is low (you know it won't last!) Anyone else love this box set???

One of my favourite box sets as well. The bonus disk is killer too. Of course I love 73 Dead.

Its been 3 months and not sold out yet - I had said it'd still be available - they haven't even done the "only 500 left" banner. Specifically I wrote "15,000 copies? 15,000 sounds aggressive, especially since they will be available as cheaper digital downloads as well. And the setlists look indistinguishable from May '77 box just 10 months before (except for Werewolves) since the Shakedown Street material didn't debut until a few months later...". I also mentioned TTATS box hangover and the fact that '78 doesn't loom as large in GD live show mythology as the top years.... Winterland '73 is incredible - 1973 is sometimes my fav year. Sometimes.
