    Buckle up as we take a deep dive into Giants Stadium!

    What's Inside:

    5 Previously Unreleased Complete Giants Stadium Shows On 14 Discs

    7/12/87 (24-track masters)

    7/9/89  (24-track masters)

    7/10/89 (24-track masters)

    6/16/91 (48-track masters)

    6/17/91 (48-track masters)

    Blu-ray/DVD video of the complete 6/17/91 show, mixed in surround sound  Mixed from the multitrack master tapes by Jeffrey Norman at Bob Weir's TRI Studios Mastered in HDCD by David Glasser at Airshow Mastering with Plangent Processes restoration Individually Numbered, Limited Edition of 10,000

    By 1987, the Grateful Dead had lived many of their nine lives but were about to embark on one not a soul had seen coming. In The Dark, their first studio album in seven years, had spawned a hit (A TOP 10 SINGLE FOR THE GRATEFUL DEAD?!) and "Touch Of Grey" begat a new generation with their fanny packs and their MTV and their undeniable quest to join the party already in progress. And boy, did the Dead let them in! But not without fine-tuning their sonic vibes to meet the new demand.

    "The Swamp," as Giants Stadium was affectionately known, along with the grandstands the Dead had been frequenting, would seemingly equate with BIGGER and LOUDER, but the band "remained determined to give equal weight to the more subtle, oblique elements; to the exploratory improvisation and rhythmic complexities; to the fine details of the most heart-rending ballads as well as the weirdest dissonances in the jams."

    With GIANTS STADIUM 1987/1989/1991, we retrace this journey from their 1987 breakthrough to their 1989 revelation ("the closest they ever came to sounding like a really polished stadium-level rock act, but the band’s penchant for breaking out of the constraints of song structure and into freewheeling improvisation will remind you just who you’re listening to here") to their transformative return in 1991, aided by elegance of Vince Welnick and Bruce Hornsby.

    GIANTS STADIUM: 1987, 1989, 1991 features five previously unreleased shows that were recorded at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ on: July 12, 1987; July 9 and 10, 1989; and June 16 and 17, 1991. Originally recorded by John Cutler, each show has been mixed from the multitrack master tapes by Jeffrey Norman at Bob Weir's TRI Studios in San Rafael, CA, and mastered in HDCD by David Glasser at Airshow Mastering. The first three shows are mixed from 24-track masters. The final two from 1991 are the only Grateful Dead shows ever recorded to 48-track masters. We’re rounding things out with a little visual stimuli -  the entire multi-camera 6/17/91 concert recording on either two DVDs or a single Blu-ray, both with a surround mix by Norman.

    Due September 27th, this release is limited to 10,000 individually numbered copies and available exclusively from Dead.net. We highly suggest you grab a copy while you can so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy all the exclusive content we'll be rolling out.

    Prefer your boxed set byte-sized? The collection will also be available for HD digital download in FLAC and ALAC, exclusively at dead.net, on release day. You can pre-order it now too.

    ....Burgers by Hot Tuna just might be better than any Airplane record. Might.
    I prefer my Burger with pickles and American cheese.

    My favorite Jefferson Airplane varies from time to time, but Surrealistic Pillow and Crown of Creation seem to consistently occupy that position, both are good from start to finish. Really dig If You Feel on Crown of Creation, and some of the mellow stuff like My Best Friend or How Do You Feel from Surrealistic Pillow, absolutely can't go wrong with either album. Also, if you haven't already, check out Quah by Jorma, some really nice mellow songs on that album.

    ....now, this particular song is dark as fuck. 12 year old me just enjoyed the rhythm. 51 year old me says "Damn Beatles, y'all getting vengeful."
    It's an evil song with an awesome beat.

    ....I just bluetoothed In My Life to my Onkyo receiver from my phone. I suggest y'all get nostalgic with me. It's a really good song. I bet Brent and Co could have pulled it off.

    Vguy - Can't disagree with In My Life - The Harrison one is good but the album is where it's at. Definitely top Beatles. Damn, now I'm feeling nostalgic.

    Charles - Loved Metamodern Sounds, actually just got the album previous (even more traditional) as well as the new one (much more progressive). Very impressed by Sturgill.

    Anyone heard Orville Peck? Some great songs, and he cracks me up.

    ....Crown Of Creation is my favourite. I recommend to start there.
    Edit. Started with the Rubber Soul take, then edited Harrison's take later. Sometimes this thread moves fast Charlie3. Other times, stagnant.

    ...with Rubber Soul Vguy.

    Muleskinner, or others, any familiarity with Sturgill Simpson? Checking out some samples from Metamodern Sounds in Country Music and Sailor's Guide to Earth, seems like another cool thing to check out.

    Edit: And now I see you (Vguy) were probably referring to the Harrison version of In My Life referenced by Muleskinner, not the Rubber Soul version.

    Thanks for the heads up on the JA releases, I need to go pick some up, looking forward to hearing their stuff. I also just remembered I know Somebody To Love from the Cable Guy. Haha.

    Funny timing, I just bought Tyler Childers' Country Squire on vinyl this week, it's the first I've owned of his. He's from the general area where I'm living and actually cut his teeth around here, so alot of my friends know him well and love him. I haven't seen him yet or dug very deep, but dug what I heard when they were playing him. He did a version of Rock Salt & Nails that was very good...a Utah Phillips song I've liked for a long time, mostly know it from Dylan and the Basement Tapes but some other good versions too (Willie Watson, Bob Neuwirth with the Punch Brothers).

    Another local, maybe more bluegrass than Tyler, is The Wooks. Someone here just told me about them so we're going to see them on Halloween.....aka their Wook-A-Ween. Planning to go as the Blues Brothers!

    Great song about a lady and the local Little Sandy river:

CD’s have unique serial numbers that identify them.
If someone types in the song names and uploads the info, it becomes available to everyone.
For that reason, when I import CD’s to my hard drive I do it on a computer that isn’t connected to the internet. I then type in the info in the format I want it in.

Hi all,

Is anyone looking to sell or trade their box set? I would love this set and unfortunately was unable to order it at the time it came out. It was up on the website, which got me excited, as I was hoping to purchase it for my birthday. Alas, it is on there but is totally sold out. Let me know. Thanks!

Hi!

If anyone is interested in purchasing this box set please let me know. I have one I am looking to sell - never played. Going to post it on eBay but figured I would try here first.
