    "We were in the Pacific Northwest...between somewhere in Washington and some other where in Oregon. The road took us to the lip on a ridge, from where we could see around us for many miles in all directions … It was breathtaking to behold, but as we watched, we had a firm realization that we were witnessing something even more beautiful than our eyes could ever take in … Life causes life. Heaven and Earth dance in this way endlessly, and their child is the forest. And so there we were, epiphanously watching that grandest and most glorious dance of life—of which we are just a tiny part—awed by a magnificence without beginning, without end..."

    Bob Weir, “Sell Headwaters—Everyone Wins,” San Francisco Chronicle

    The Pacific Northwest offers up a rich feast of land, sky, and water. It is ripe with influences, abundant with symbols, deep and spirited. It should, therefore, come as no surprise that the Grateful Dead played some of their most inspired shows on these fertile grounds. It does, however, sometimes take a breath for the elements to re-align years later. It seems for us, they finally have and we are able to present not just a glimpse of the band's extraordinary exploratory tour through the region, but a two-tour bounty as the PACIFIC NORTHWEST ’73-’74: THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS.

    For PACIFIC NORTHWEST ’73-’74: THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS, we've paired two short runs made up of six previously unreleased shows - P.N.E. Coliseum, Vancouver, B.C. (6/22/73); Portland Memorial Coliseum, Portland, OR (6/24/73); Seattle Center Arena, Seattle, WA (6/26/73); P.N.E. Coliseum, Vancouver, Canada (5/17/74); Portland Memorial Coliseum, Portland, OR (5/19/74); and Hec Edmundson Pavilion, University of Washington, Seattle, WA (5/21/74). Each show has been mastered in HDCD from the original master tapes by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering. The transfers from the masters were transferred and restored by Plangent Processes, further ensuring that this is the best, most authentic that these shows have ever sounded.

    PACIFIC NORTHWEST ’73-’74: THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS comes in an ornate box created by Canada’s preeminent First Nations artist Roy Henry Vickers (more on this tremendous artist soon). To complement the music, the set also includes a 64-page book with an in-depth essay by Grateful Dead scholar Nicholas G. Meriwether and photos by Richie Pechner.

    Due September 7th, this release is limited to 15,000 individually numbered copies and available exclusively from dead.net. You'll want to grab a copy while you can and sit back, relax, and enjoy all the exclusive content we'll be rolling out over the next few weeks.

    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. You can pre-order it now too.

    Get it while you can.

    Noon-ish is not the best time to catch a full-blown show.....
    My memory has clearly telescoped events, because I almost think I remember rolling over in my sleeping bag and, for breakfast, snorting a pile of 'chocolate' mescaline off one of those mini-cereal boxes. I definitely took some blotter. But even if we'd 'slept in,' it must of been 10-ish or something. Surely we'd had some water and a snack, probably provided by a merciful neighbor. We were still 15 and we looked like what we were: goddamm-near children! Ah, so I was saying, we dropped acid and snorted mescaline and fired up the pipe with Numero Uno and, hey, is that freakin' Jerry on stage? Wait, Bobby. Phil. Bill. The piano guy. Jer kept dipping his cigarette into a brass ashtray and, when he re-lit it, it flared up. I didn't hit the blow til '75 but later, I thought, freebase. I hope someone can clarify this, but I think I recall the band starting just a bit after NOON(!). As far as I was concerned at the time, they fucking rocked the place for hours. I do recall, as I often feel, feeling goofy about a camera while tripping. But I managed to snap off three shots, of which two survive, which catch the three guitarists blasting away on Playing in the Band, then turning towards each other to converse more intimately, finally arriving in a tight circle and sending tides of sound across the crowd. I think this was the time I experienced Phil's bass as physical, purple pulses in my chest and the realization that vibrations, rather than corporeal reality, were at the heart of existence. I clearly remember the gospel treatment at the end of He's Gone and at the end of Sugar Mag, Weir thrust his arm skyward for stop time, ran back to his amps, downed the rest of a Heineken and raced back to the mic for the coda. Still, I was 15, down front at one of the biggest gatherings of humans in history. I did look back over the crowd, but, as usual, there wasn't much profit in looking back. Not with the Grateful Dead killing it in front of me.

    The Soundcheck
    The Allmans rocked big time. They'd slayed us at RFK after the Dead when, exhausted and dehydrated, we had retreated to the shaded overhang of RFK and been simply psychedelically rolled over by the ABB. They smoked the Dead that day. Back to the Soundcheck. I got up and hiked around the scene while it was still afternoon. A very loose scene with lots of elbow room, cool air, breathing. I returned to our space, easily located, for The Band. It was nearly sunset when the Grateful Dead took the stage. We had all the room we needed. I started the soundcheck boogie-ing upright, shakin it to the rock 'n roll. I had snorted some mescaline and taken maybe a half tab of the blotter. Everyone knew this was unprecedented in GD history. Here we were, groovin' on a cool pine forest evening, high but not pressed and our favorite band was blasting away on the finest sound system we'd ever heard. I do not recall individual songs, just the transition between comprehensible songs and jams that had us smiling for reasons we knew not. [Beautiful Jam from So Many Roads is blasting in the background as I write these words.] I do clearly recall the feeling of complete ease as I nestled down into my sleeping bag, head on cool gallon jug, looking up at the band just jamming away. We rode it out after the band departed and the next thing we knew, it was morning and the crowd was bustling, hustling, and by noon it was show time all over again.

    I hope you are writing these in a word processing program and saving them.You probably should combine your memories and pictures and put it out on the internets where it will hopefully be forever preserved. Maybe upload the final version to the archive someday.

    Any headphone listeners out there? Or maybe you don't need them. I find the bass on this GSTL recording overwhelming. Bertha and Help On the Way are good places to start. I don't get the same thing with the SB I have if this show. I think Jeff Norman boosted it somehow. Anyone else notice it? Garyfarseer - what kind of medicine?

    The greatest missed show on Earth
    Long story shrunk to size... We had to get home on 10 June 1973 because we were exhausted, dehydrated, broke, without tickets, food, water, anything, so we thumbed back and tried to blend into humanity. I was 15. I lived with my parents, of course, and they needed to see some evidence that I was alive. They never even said a word about my setting out for a multi=day excursion in jeans and a t-shirt. We just did it. We heard the 10 June show was smokin' and we were pissed. We were NOT going to be caught short like that again. No effin' way. So when the news broke of a show with all three of the greatest rock bands of that time -- the Grateful Dead, the Allman Brothers and The Band -- we were on it like white on rice. Tickets cost $10.50? We had 'em. And we'd just seen the Allmans at Madison Square Garden in, May? I smuggled in a bong. A young cop caught me. An older cop said, "Let him go. It's a bong. Don't worry about it." Jesus, this whole law enforcement thing was confusing! But my view was broadening... Late July 1973. The older brother of a hot schoolmate of ours was driving to Watkins Glen. We signed on. Me, Mark L, David W, and a few others. We brought our backpacks. We had a little food. A shit-ton of Numero Uno. No alcohol. I had a sheet of blotter. Someone's adept use of the map enabled us to skirt around the worst of the traffic and we actually accessed the grounds in fine fashion, probably 12 hrs ahead of the hoo-ska-boo that eventually developed. The van's inhabitants split into units and we never saw our driver-host again, until a week later, just before the 31 July - 1 August shows back at Roosevelt Stadium. (Biggies, waiting for release...) So we hike over to the "gate," passing food trucks that specialized in big scoops of weed. We snickered, fully equipped. We were still 15. We entered the gates around midday and for some reason no one took my ticket, so I immediately doubled back to the chain link fence and passed my whole ticket to a have-not. Instinct, communal instinct. Later, my parents said that friends of theirs in Europe had seen footage that included my entrance into the concert site. The stage was perhaps 2/3 of a mile away. As we walked down the gently sloping hill towards the stage it was obvious we were a bit early. In earlier shows we were leery of getting too close because of the physical crush, the volume and the collective high that sometimes ... got a bit hairy. But fresh off missing 10 June, we marched down and claimed a beautiful space about 20 yards from the stage, just a bit left of center. On our way, we'd grabbed a few one-gallon water jugs that were set out free by Bill Graham in response to the scene at RFK in DC 6 weeks earlier. I found myself high on mescaline, laying on my sleeping bag with my head resting on a cool one-gallon jug of potable water and passing a doobie when the crowd sputtered and roared. It was late afternoon and the Allman Brothers had just taken the stage.

    RFK, June 1973
    Throughout the fall of 1972 and through the winter-spring of 1973 I had ingested numerous psychedelics, including the wonderful agent known as mescaline and naturally a few substantial doses of the Lady Herself. At one point, with my buddy Moose, we were sitting atop a van-sized boulder in a 2,000 acre wooded preserve near home and we focused on the visual margin between the rock beneath us and the ground in the background and felt that we had lifted the boulder upon which we sat perhaps several inches into the air, then lowered it again to its natural resting place. But I digress... June 1973 and me and David W are hitching to RFK in DC about 200 miles away for the 9-10 June 1973 shows. It's summer. So obviously we go in t-shirts, jeans, sneakers, with a ticket and few single dollars/dead presidents in my pocket. Next to the sheet of oval 4-way blotter. A little smokum in the sock, in case we got stopped. Look, we're 15, okay? 16 was months away. We were just up for adventure, loud rock 'n roll and, um, a closer look at the scene. I remember that some of the serious traveling hippies with LSD-dead eyes were there selling pipes, but also passing them around. We had long hair but we were little kids! These folks looked 50 but were probably 20, i.e., impossibly old, grizzled and of unknown origin. But no one actually bothered us, nor was there any attention. Everyone treated us as adults. So we slept on the ground on the grassy parts outside the stadium that night. No water, no food, no equipment. The next day, temperatures climbed towards 100. We were smoking a joint by the grate that blocked one entrance and a black cop motioned us over. We approached cautiously. "Hand me some of that, will you?" he asked. "WHAAAT???" was our initial reaction, having already experienced the pleasure of being cuffed and harassed by the cops for having a beer in the park. Turned out, cops can be cool, too. We burned two with the cat and we bid each other a good day. He was clearly amused by the scene, but in a groovy way. This was 1973 and racism and violence over the Vietnam War made longhairs outcasts, just like minorities of every stripe, then and now. Short story long, me and David split a 4-way and the Dead played that afternoon, opening for the ABB that night. The lines for water were long. We survived on The Lady, a little water and some "Numero Uno" substance we thought was hash but turned out to be opium. Worked for us that day, though, the heat was excruciating and I'm sure a lot of folks needed help in the heat. I got up close for Chinacat at the end of the first set. I was mesmerized. Bobby played a Gibson SG, which in my mind meant "bass guitar." Phil was playing a big possibly semi-hollowbody bass that said to my untutored eyes, "rhythm guitar." But I was already a huge Phil fan (being a Jer fan was too obvious) and this had me confused. At some point some idiot hurled a lit M-80 onto the stage (June 9, right? obviously in close proximity to July 4??) and it rolled up to Jer. In that day, he had a stage mannerism of sort of shuffling in place and I saw him move his right foot forward in perfect time and using the tip of his cowboy boot sent the live M-80 back out over the crowd. I don't even recall hearing it explode. The music was pretty loud.

    Backstory and launch....
    The briefest of backstories: Six years old in 1964, persuaded my mom to buy me a Beatles LP at the checkout counter of the local discount store. Played it on monaural phonograph with one 12" speaker output. Rocked as child. 13 years old in 1970, convince mom to drive me and a friend to a Chambers Bros concert. We dug the music but were too young for 'action.' 15 years old, summer of '72, catch The Byrds and New York Rock 'n Roll Ensemble at college outside Saugerties NY where The Band rec'd Big Pink five years earlier. We drove by Big Pink. (Still Pink.) We were 15. (An older brother was actually driving...) Since 1971, been spinning American Beauty and Skull & Roses LPs on the same phonograph as in 1964, only now it's in the basement where our ping-pong table and hang-out couch are located. 19 Sept 1972, I jump in a car full of older heads with an ounce of hash in my pocket, 33 days after my 15th birthday, and we proceed to the Roosevelt Stadium in lovely Jersey City, New Jersey, and catch my first Grateful Dead show. I had already been 'experienced,' but did not drop at this show; too chaotic, large crowd, determined to survive and catch my ride home. I listened for familiar songs, jams, anything -- nothing! Everything was different. Records, shme-cords. This scene was crazy. Maybe 10,000 people screamin' high groovin', freakin', dancin', gyratin', handing you things you knew best to pass along... I was alone in the giant crowd with the music louder but sweeter than anything I'd ever heard before. The music rocked, I just couldn't grab onto a big Jerry jabbin' guitar riff that would remind me of Skull & Roses. Obviously, this was no American Beauty. As Jer once said, recording in a studio is like building a ship in a bottle. Playing live is like being on the ocean in an open rowboat. And that's kinda how I felt -- out there, surfin', knew I'd have to get home ... 3 hours into the show, I do remember saying to myself, "Well, all righty then, damn good show, YOU CAN STOP PLAYING ANYTIME, I'M GOOD. GOTTA GET SOME REST... MUST SNAG RIDE HOME..." Part II, coming ...

I'm never even close on these guesses. Going with a year that isn't on usual rotation for Dave, but it is a big show. I use to think they would save this for a box release, but who knows...... just thinking that the boxes that made us go crazy trying to order, Europe 72 and the Get Shown the light sold out insanely fast, what else is left that would have same effect, (June 9, 10 1973) is one i think... I thought the Northwest would be gone so fast, be good everyone bob t

The Vatican is the biggest criminal organization in the history of the human race.A summary, but by no means complete: Excommunicate Galileo because we all know that the sun revolves around the earth. Pay us money to get your relatives out of purgatory. Look the other way while Hitler exterminates an entire race. Look the other way while your own priests molest children. I await the personal attacks......

Jerry's guitar solo is phenomenal. Real loud, check it out. Weir and Keith are hittin' it too, they're just not up in the mix like Jerry is. The Cassidy is pretty cool too, more like the studio arrangement.

So I wonder.. how many times was the following sequence played: Playing in the Band > Uncle John's Band > Morning Dew > Uncle John's Band > Playing in the Band Or frankly any sequence and combination of the above classic medley. Certainly DP 24 (3/23/73 Cow Palace) and DaP 5 (11/17/73 Pauley Pavilion UCLA) but I suspect more. If I get a chance, I just might research it myself. Then there's the seemingly endless variants like 10/12/84 Augusta ME, the Playing in the Band sandwiches, etc. All interesting on their own. But how many of the classic PITB>UJB>MD>UJB>PITB medleys?

So many of my favorite shows have "Sugaree" in the second slot. I wonder what that means? Probably a good bet that aliens are involved in some fashion.

Jim, other than the two you mention (you meant 3-23-74) the only other time was 11-10-73. Pretty sure those are the only times. If I missed another, please let me know, but pretty sure it was only those three times. I like Pauley best, but truth be told, they all fail a bit in the end for me, as I find each Morning Dew is sacrificed at the end to roll back into UJB.

This guy's favorite song is Sugaree. You can tell it's his favorite song by the rhythm in his stride and the way he dances. You might recognize him in some of the homemade recordings and crowd footage from Watkins Glen or perhaps his veggie burrito booth in shakedown. I don't think he's an alien at all.. just some residual French or perhaps a Brazilian accent. Rio, yes.. 3/23/74. Thanks for the quick reply.. I didn't think there were too many. And I agree with your Morning Dew not fully developed or forced transition issue. Still, the sequence is very cool. Imagine how it might have developed if they did it four or five times instead of just three.

No personal attacks just a little weight on the other side of the seesaw. Catholic Church very active in the american civil rights movement. The Catholic church very heavily involved in the antiwar movement of the 1960's & 70's. Your point about turning the other way during WW2 has been proven false by academics but is a good example Goelbbels "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating, it, people will eventually come to believe it.In addition as Hitler asked how many divisions does the Pope have. Add to those 2 points like most bigots you leave out inconvenient facts like the number of priests and higher who at great danger to themselves stood up to and actively fought fascism. Karol Jozef Wojtyla better known as Pope John Paul II. In his case the world got a twofer he also also stood up what is arguably an even more destructive (in terms of lives destroyed and length of time in power) totalitarian sysem.Do you hate the French, they had far more arms and military. They not only surrendered but the Vichy Republic actively participated in the final solution. A couple of your points are 500 years old and irrelevant today. Now for the part that your post had none of namely acknowledging there is more than one side. The Catholic church is guilty of toadying up to very bad governments IN THE PAST. Some good examples would be Spain and Mexico. That was bad and is acknowledged by all including the church but since WW2 it has been very active in fighting the authoritarian governments especially in Latin America Nicaragua and El Salvador being 2 Bishop Romero was killed by Somsatistas giving mass and in El Salvador 4 nuns were brutally raped and killed by Roberto D'Aubuisson's right wing death squads. The hierarchy's behavior with the pederasty scandal is inexcusable and they have been rightly called to task for it. As always, and I never cease to be amazed at this with people and organizations with power is the cover up. If when the the 1st murmurs started making the rounds in the 70's or better yet when the higher ups heard the whispers in the hallways of power much earlier had dealt quickly and unflinchingly they would be able to fend off the anti-catholic bigots.And they still exist especially in certain parts of the country and of course the world. Don't believe it read up on what's happening in countries of north africa and through the levant In summary the modern Catholic Church (not really interested in 500 years ago) has been an overwhelming force for good with the glaring exception of the coverup of pederasts Finally while I was brought up Catholic My own beliefs for me personally is not to belong to any hierarchical group humans being humans there simply is too much temptation

We have successfully conflated religion, politics and seemingly not the Grateful Dead into the same paragraph. Infinitely amused. Will I have to stay awake very long before we find a way to add in human trafficking or the Ruffilin Dating Network into the conversation? Infinitely amused.

According to The SetList Program these three tunes were played in the same show 30 times including the 3 sandwiches. 2/23/71 the first, 3/27/94 the last. I was lucky enough to see 12/27/89 with C. Clemons.

Sugaree is the classic Jerry song. I associate this one closely with JGBand since my first two Jerry Bootlegs were 2/28/80 Keene College (eventually released in the Pure Jerry series) and 7/24/80 at the Bushnell in Hartford. Both these shows are great and both opened with wonderful Sugarees. Laid back campfire vibe, great soloing, and Jerry just always feels at home in this one. When played with the Dead, I always enjoyed it. "Just don't tell 'em you knoooooow me...."

You forgot to defend molesting children. That’s pretty modern, isn’t it? Now bring on that DaP 27 announcement with a Sugaree in the second slot.

Either you didn't read my post or you need to go back to school. What the hell do you think pederasty means,which I spent a good portion of my post taking the church to task on for the actions and even more importantly the systemwide coverup. But that seems to be the problem today. Doesn't matter left or right people aren't interested in paying attention to any view but their own and their echo chamber. For your edification since you're to lazy to improve your vocabulary pederast man sexal arousal over a boy. Pedophile an adult getting aroused by a child of opposite sex. The former is the overwhelming amount of crimes that were committed and covered up by the church. What you seem to be incapable of is recognizing and acknowledging all the other points in my post that take on your anti Catholic bigotry. Let me know when you finish 6th grade. And in response to your silly remark about Da27 as if I was the one who started this thread. I was simply responding to your hatred spewed. You even specifically asked for responses albeit you expected vitriolic attacks which any one who cares to read my 1st post on your attact had none.

Icecrmcnkd is a bigot. Never would have thought. But tell me Icecrmcnkd. How many Rabbis or Mullahs are guilty of the same crimes against children? There has to be a number right? Cant be zero, there are too many for that to be statistically possible. What about other professions? So go ahead and make a fair evaluation, since child welfare is such a grave humanitarian concern for you. What's that, you don't know because you only approach the subject when you're in full out bigot mode. You're no longer welcome on this message board. Goodbye.

I didn’t read your first post in detail. I tried to but gave up due to the incomplete and/or run-on sentences. And the DaP 27 wasn’t actually directed at you.

The studio version is okay-but for years, the only version I knew was the one on "Steal Your Face", and as such, I wasn't overly impressed. In fact I wasn't overly impressed with any of the pre-retirement versions I subsequently heard, either. I thought they were okay-but just okay. But after they came back-especially during 1977, it really seemed to grow wings and fly. Curious how some songs were transformed into epics, while others were left simply as songs.

I think one of my favorite versions is the one on To Terrapin 5/28/77. That show just seems to flow nice every time I listen. My Theory on the Diffusion of Fools and Knaves: every group, whether political, religious, racial, cultural, profession, etc. has it's share of fools and knaves as they are spread throughout humanity in a fairly even distribution, much like a drop of dye spreads through a glass of clear water. Better to judge people as an individual rather than based on what group you perceive them to be a part of, but that's just my view.

You mean ones that contain facts as opposed to ad hominem attacks. And you still act as though the only point you made, and I responded to was the admittedly heinous acts and coverups with children. How about the churchs work with the war, civil rights, El Salvador Guatemala. The rebuttal to your blood libel on WW2. I may run on you lie and twist what others say. Once again contact me when you get out of 6th grade

catholic church is still better than the Children of God cult. their leader was a pedophile, and it was pretty accepted to make advances towards minors. p.s. Hitler pretty much told those churches to be run a certain way or he would have them killed, well maybe not killed but they were forced to be run the way Hitler wanted them to be ran.
