    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 Keep Looking At The Set Lists.....
    I can't wait to get my hands on this box set. It wasn't that long ago that DP 18 & 25 were the only two Estimated Prophets I had with that kick-ass Jerry solo that goes on for a minute and a half to 2 minutes, and the DP 25 version isn't that good. I didnt realize this was a 78 thing until after I bought May 1977, which to my dismay, had 5 EPs with no 2 minute solo. I picked up copies of the Egypt and From Egypt with Love bonus CDs and doubled my EP 78 collection, but neither of those blew my mind quite like DP 18. Two more versions came along with DaP 15 and 30 Trips, and now there are three more coming in this July box set. Can't wait to get my filthy Deadhead hands on it. Also looking forward to two more 78 Music Never Stopped. This one developed a bit in late 77 / early 78 as well, with a 2 minute mind bending jam around the 3:45 mark. I also never grow tired of new Scarlet / Fires, you just always get something nice there (DaP 7 let it burn, let it burn, let it burn), and the Egypt stand-alone Fire on the Mountain is one of my favs. Two more of these coming,look out! With any luck, something will click on the Eyes of the World fast version...I can't say it's the best new direction I've heard them take a song, but I understand! Cocaine is a powerful motivator.... DL's comments about the Werewolves at Red Rocks is encouraging; feels like they didn't quite get it right on DaP 7 or DP 25. Peggy-O on the Wolf - yes please. Cassidy - got a little better every year between 76 and 78, culminating in my favorite on DaP 7. The Wheel too, but alas, I'll need to throw DP 18 in there. Bertha / Good Lovin' also consistently better in 78, and I attribute this mostly to the Wolf. The 77 versions are a little too "sterile" if that's the right word, and Bertha always seemed to have an audio drop in the one slot, so hopefully the new one will rock ass like DP 18 and DaP 15. And also looking forward to two new Terrapins and Samsons, which will hopefully contain something remarkable, although with Samson, it might be tough to beat 77 (5/28/77 is a face melt with all the fixins - great God almighty talk Wooo). A couple new Wharf Rats too, and the Wolf was good for this song too.

    Fantastic show. Bid You Goodnight makes a comeback with Johnny B. Goode as the encores. The last GDTRFB>NFA. Channeling 1971. Summer '88 to Spring '90 was smokin'. Best of Brent, though '87 adn '85 were also strong, ditto '79/'80. For an excellent Brent show, check out 4-8-89 Riverfront Coliseum (I think I have the date right). Best Blow Away ever. LTGTR. Fantasy>Jude. Great Brent night. Cold rainy night, also a nasty Looks Like Rain from Bob. Jerry contributes a nice West LA, China>Rider, Eyes. And a nice Box of Rain encore. Everyone involved. Plus, I believe there was stage jumper.

    Betty boards and werewolves of London was all you needed to say for me to add this bad boy to my cart. I do agree that Keith was in a rythumick stranglehold in the late 70's but I don't agree that he was in any kind of decline before he left the band. Favorite Keith year is 74 and he absolutely smokes on Daves 17. On a side note I love the way Keith would look when he played. Was he pissed off or was he in deep concentration. Occasionally a smirk but never a smile and always a cheap domestic beer on top of that piano. A very mysterious and quite man indeed but what he could do on those keys. He was a true artist and definitely not a rock star.

    Sorry Jim
    My Spinal Tap joke fell flat. It was a good attempt you made, as always, to smooth out the bumpy vibes, and it worked (as always). Cheers to JimInMD for never having a bad thing to say about anyone or anything. THAT's the Dead vibe. Packaging for July 1978, hmmm. I like the Winterland packages, and would pleased with an exact replica (tri-fold digipak style covers, booklet, etc), but somehow I don't think that's what it's going to be. I wasn't too jazzed with the May 1977 artwork and packaging. The box was cool, the way it snaps shut, but the covers fell apart on me, and the pages of the book came unglued and separated from the spine. Rdevil, funny you mention not liking Brent on Stranger from DaP 8 - it's my favorite version! I like the minimoog he uses for the main Stranger melody. He got away from that in later versions... Edit - LOL rdevil, that was awesome (i.e what the duck are we listening to?)

    Hadn't heard the one about the flies, not bad.I'm always interested to hear more Dead jokes. I've mentioned a couple old ones in the past and will repeat them here after Jim's plea for levity. What did one deadhead say to the other when they ran out of drugs? A: What the fuck are we listening to? Why do the Grateful Dead have two drummers? A: In case one of them falls asleep. Anyone else?

    Off the top of my head, I'd say my three favorite post Keith shows are 10-27-79, 9-18-87 and 7-17-89. I'm in the minority in that I struggle with some of Brent's playing on DaP8, especially during Stranger and Around. I love Brent but prefer his later work both vocally and on keys. But I enjoyed the '80 and '81 shows from Boxzilla so I should give DaP8 another listen soon--it's been awhile. Not tonight, though. I try to listen to JGB Warner Theater show every year on Palm Sunday.

    LoveJerry. The more you post, the more I like you. Call it Plinko or whatever you want. The keyboard sound circa late 70s renders the band virtually unlistenable. Shakedowns and Dancin in the Streets are total abominations to my ears. Yes, I understand the recent posts about their merits, but I just don't get it. If nothing else, you need to applaud the band for continually striving for a new sound. I personally can't handle the later stuff, most of which I saw live. As for under the radar bands.

This monster finally found its way to Shambhala. Ahem, I mean Chicago. Digress, if you please, for just a moment. It's May 1860, a full 118 years ere our year held presently in righteous esteem, when a pony of even the most questionable fortitude, not to mention attitude, could will himself from the origination point of this acclaimed boxed set to that shining jewel on the bosom of Lake Michigan, that burgeoning metropolis, the soon to be named Windy City, in a mere 5 days. And, in one of those weird parallel coincidences of history, at this near-exact time in that year of our lord, Chicago played host to one no-doubt prospective Grateful Dead fan Abraham Lincoln, at the time probably engaged with William H. Seward in a spirited debate as to whether Cassidy would peak in '77 or '78, owing to present policy prescriptions etc etc. And some other stuff. One can only surmise. But that pony, after navigating the maze of 19th century Chicago, amidst the din of the Republican Convention and in the shadow of the Wigwam, went out to California, no doubt with a bundle of letters and some Nuts on Clark, or at least some dogs with tomatoes and artificially dyed relish, in what to dead.net could only be considered a flash of lightning, however lazy, to compete his charge. He can only be remembered with fondness, and branded with descriptive terms synonymous with the speed and accuracy of all of today's ballyhooed modern distribution networks. Postscript: I received the box, and damned i'f I'm not smitten by it. Enough to ignore the week delay. Having it is the important thing. I'm just having a little fun. Too much certainly. I love everything dead.net releases. What a time to be alive.

Slow Dog Noodle, great post and great name, by the way. Haha I like to make pretend as a Lincoln scholar, wish I was but I've enjoyed faking it along the way. Love the hypothetical and especially the William Seward references..an underrated player in American history, not to mention a badass. Lincoln's cabinet is a fantastic menagerie to read about. I just wrapped up a new podcast yesterday coincidentally, this one's topic was on rivers, which is an easy cop-out for blues and folk music, but disregard that and don't tell my other 3 listeners. The Dead of course found their way in with Black Muddy River, but I named it after the title of the only patent held by a US President, Mr. Lincoln's Patent US6469, "Buoying Vessels Over Shoals".

Aside from the powder,do ya think they might've been super fired-up about possibly knowing they were going to Egypt soon? Can't help but think that might have fueled a few 5th gear shows leading up to that realized dream.:) P.S.-On the back cover of the inner booklet I see an opium poppy out on it's own on the left of the beer can. Not an un-opened rose bud like is mixed in with the rest of the artwork. Hmmm

Two track is multitrack. In 1968 most studio albums were recorded on 4 track and 8 track recording was a new technology that only limited studios had installed at the time. The filler from the tour of the Great Northwest is 4 track and was recorded for use on Anthem of the Sun. The 4 track masters were then cut and spliced into a master tape to be used for the album. The reels of 4 track tape that were not used for Anthem of the Sun were found in a SF studio when they were dismantling it about 10 years ago.

#12491 landed in south NJ on Tuesday. I've listened to the 1st 3 shows and between these and DaP15 I'm reassessing 1978 since it wasn't a year I particularly liked. Did anyone else catch the vocal harmonies at the end of 'Dancing In The Streets' in the 7/3/78 St. Paul show wherein JG/BW/DJG prove they could indeed harmonize with the best of them? It reminds me of the best of the Roches/Everlys/Byrds/Beatles and hell even the Andrews Sisters. All in all a mighty worthy addition to the GD official release catalogue.

....what is your favorite show art? Paul Pope's artwork is exciting. If I could include the booklet art, I would choose that. Otherwise, Omaha's cover wins. Btw, today is my birthday. 49 years young. 5.21.77 sounds just about perfect....hope everyone has a grate weekend....

Currently, I like 7/3 show case art the best, but all are great. I really like the booklet cover - both front and back It seem to be a nod to the 7/2 Milwaukee Summerfest show, the rained out show. Happy Birthday, Vguy! Your math is a bit off, either you're 49 making you born in 1967, or you're 39 as your post says 5.21.77 - the night the boys played Lakeland, Florida. 5.21.67 does not corrispond to a playing gig, but the closest date, in my opinion, would be 5/20/67 - the Continental Ballroom in Santa Clara, California. Now playing 7/7: Scarlet> Fire. Now drinking: Weyerbacher's Last Chance IPA (Easton PA)

Had to jump in with some love for Seastones. I like the great Workingman's/American Beaut Americana also, but the GD originally grabbed my ear with stuff like Seastones, Blues for Allah, the deeper DS/PitB/TOO jams, Feedback, etc. Space was always something to which I looked fwd (and still do). The first set songs might be the ground the GD walked on, but to my ears they really flew to the outer spheres on the wings of the less trad-structured material. Infrared Roses is another one that needs a spin, now that I think about it. To get back to the topic of the thread: 00777 landed on my porch a few days back. Lowest number I think I've scored on any numbered released. Love that the artwork for the booklet is keyed to the cancelled show. Between this box and the latest DaP, my ears are thrillin and chillin.

Perfect TLEO, Cassidy, Jack-A-Roe, Jack Straw sequence in the first set. I love those early Jack-A-Roe's. Also a Betty recording....the closest shows to my birth date is either Santa Clara fairgrounds on 5.18 or the National Guard Armory in St. Loo on 5.24. They played an Armory? I'm gonna Google Image that....

Compared to the warm groove of '77 (my favorite year), where the Dead seemed to fall smoothly and effortlessly into one another, '78 has an edge and, at times, an aggressiveness that's a bit disconcerting at first, but that grows on you with each listen (the reason why Dick's Picks 18 is on my deserted island list). It's almost as if the band members are competing to out-do one another, as opposed to working in unison. But, to my ear, that gives the music a pair of balls it hasn't exactly sported before. For me, this box set is a hot rockin' mess -- and a great one. Sure, the vocals are inconsistent and the lyric gaffes run rampant. Sure, Bobby's efforts at the slide make your ears bleed. Sure, Donna Jean (who never impressed me, but certainly didn't bother me) is erratic and sounds like a Banshee on crack at times. Sure, Keith belligerently bangs out chords rather than tickle the keys as beautifully as he did in earlier years. And sure, the jibber-jabber weirdness during "Rhythm Devils/Space" made me do a double-take. But there's an urgency to the playing contained in this box set that's infectious. I'm not sure if it was the Godchauxs' backstage strife seeping its way into the band's on stage interaction, or if everyone was just wired to the gills in '78, but the end result is sonically pretty amazing. The music has a life and a vibrancy that puts the biggest Cheshire grin on my face. It's as if they can't get the songs out of their skin fast enough. These guys are really rocking their asses off. While "Winterland '77: The Complete Recordings" will forever remain my favorite box set, with "May 77" riding shot gun, "July '78: The Complete Recordings" (#07755) definitely has a magic of its own that I'll be revisiting often, especially when I'm driving down the highway.

The 0's on the wheel are green. I haven't been in a casino since 2012, and I quit playing roulette before that. 5 cent video poker and free beer is my game of choice, but even at 5 cents (which is really 25 cents per deal since you want to go for the bigger payout) you end up losing about the same amount of money that you would have spent buying the beer in a bar.The only way to 'beat' the casino is at the buffet. Go on a night when there's prime rib, crab, lobster, or stuff like that. Eat $100 worth and you win, even though it hardly cost the casino anything you feel like you came out ahead. Rocking the Rocks, spinning 7/8, just fired up some charcoal, got chicken that's been marinating in Walkerswood for 24 hours. Cold Bell's Oberon......mmmmmm!

Bro you are in for a Dee Light!I just finished some yardbird that had been in the WalkersWood marinade. I found the jerk rub hot and spicy at Walmart for less than $4. Great deal. 7/8/78 is a fav from the box, all I have left for a virgin spin is the 7/7 but all the shows have been very much enjoyed. Let us know you're impression of the Walkers chicken please. It IS spicy, but you knew that!

Icecream you got me Jonesing bro. That sounds like sheer perfection. That show is a standout as has been preached for days. I've enjoyed everything I've heard. I played St Paul today and loved it, " You fucked me up". That's a classic fun one.they sound like they were having a good time playing these shows. Willies Picnic was a great time too. I can see repeated plays all summer.Taking these shows into the woods for a few days camping, swing in the hemp hammock, and get right with nature. And of course bring the WW to serenade the meat before the heat.

He must have been jealous of Donna's shorts (seen in the book). "just gotta have me some of THOSE." So we got treated to them in the later GD years. the shorts I wear are baggy-ass cargo shorts that come down to my knees. I have true fashion sense. Cargo shorts are convenient for carrying various things ;)

The Walkerswood chicken was awesome!Marinated for 24 hours. Put on 7/8 and started the charcoal, put the chicken on at the start of set 2 and added peach wood for smoke. Basted the chicken with beer during Space, Wharf Rat, and Franklins. Removed from grill at end of Sugar Mag and let rest during Terrapin (ate the corn on the cob that I had smoked on the grill - try that). Removed the skin and chowed down during OMSN and Werewolves. Wow! Ecstasy! Tips: boneless, skinless chicken doesn't work, need the fat. I've done thighs before but think I'll need to perform a study of whether dark meat or white meat is better with Walkerswood. Also, the jar says apply sparingly. Don't listen to them, slather it on. Enchroached, have fun in the woods, that's one of the best places to play the Dead real loud. Just put in 3-9-81 set 2. For those calling for 80's releases this is a candidate. Check out the Deep Elem.

....made me hungry, so I went and got some St. Louis style baby back ribs. Wife is making her famous red potato salad. Will fire up the charcoal (never gas) grill tomorrow, then take my token 2 o'clock nap. As I get older (but apparently not as old as I thought), naps are not to be taken lightly....

....I found this Belgian tripel by Dogfish Head called Beer to Drink Music To. Apparently the official beer of Record Store Day. How's that for some random trivia. 9% abv. Label says "A Belgian-style ale brewed with sweet orange peel, green cardamom, peppercorns & vanilla." Beer sure has come a long way since I was in college....as a matter of fact, so has pot. Fuck it. I'm cracking one open now....

....then I suggest checking out the 7.7 presentation to clear your mind. I heard Wharf Rat, Stella Blue, TOO and Dark Star all swirling around in that primordial, auditory soup. Outstanding!!.... Ren & Stimpy. Lol....

I try and stick with headphones or iPods.Breathing deep and staring at the heavens. And being as quiet as possible. Soaking in the serenity. Making a lot of noise in the forest, well that's like farting in church. Try to avoid that one at all costs. But thanks, I take out on Monday.

Nothing here in the Nether-regions yet, but normal delivery time is 14-16 days. In this instance one should add another week as it will almost certainly be grabbed by customs on its way. They will levy all sorts of extra payments (think import duty, VAT, administration costs etc.). I would expect it to be delivered around 3 weeks after the shipping date. In my case the shipping date was May 10 so I will expect to see the package and the accompanying customs invoice at the beginning of June. Be patient! It sounds as if it is well worth the wait.

yes, naps, the sweet sweet nap, need them, want them, gotta have them. I follow my cats lead, nap, nap, nap, eat, play, listen to dead music, nap, eat sleep. Great way to get through the day. Drums and space are where it's at folks, this is where the improve flower buds and blooms, if you don't like drums and space, might as well listen to best of the dead, no improve there, just songs to fill the air, which is ok, but I like my dead with a bit of mystery and magic. Give me Mickey and Billy and the beam, Jerry doing his best to blow our minds and the inspiration of space to see me through the darkness. In my later years of touring, it is what I went to shows for, the drums and space improve show, the rest was filler.
