    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.

    "Evil" Thought
    I jumped into the Donna fray a few days ago, trying to emphasize her professionalism, the difficulty of being in her position and leaping out in performance, and the fact that it seemed she did exactly what she was asked. That was before hearing unprecedentedly blood-curdling shrieks on the 17May74 PITB - they just about gave me a coronary while I was exercising a couple of days ago. If a wife had/used a voice like that, it would help the husband retain his sanity to be profoundly deaf (but since hers played in the Grateful Dead, that would have been another problem). Canine hearing being far more acute than that of humans, I'd be interested in seeing a typical dog react to that voice. I have visions of the animal depiction in the old RCA logo, and the animal running away from the grammophone, yelping and diving into the nearest shrubbery, putting its paws over its head. It would be entertaining to see Monsieur Lemieux have someone edit a track of nothing but Donna's vocalisms from the entirety of the archives - to see how long would it run, and how many disks it would fill or overflow, as well as how popularly it would sell (Dave's picks, anyone?). Nah, too cruel - I do call it an evil thought because Donna might be a terrific person to know - it's just a quality in the voice God gave her that's unpleasant to me, and the passage of time has probably mellowed that voice quite a bit.

    But Dave I think you've got the message. As long as I'm here again . . .. Hey Dave please consider NYC's MSG September 1979 3 show run for a minibox set. These shows are very worthy of official release treatment.These shows are the new kid's, Brent, first MSG NYC shows. The Big League. I saw someone mention Winter 79? I could go for that.

    Since we got on this 77 tangent. I was wondering if anybody has a digital copy of May 77 box set they could copy for me? I already got the Get Shown The Light box but I missed out on May 77. Just message me, thanks.

    Having just listened to the first cd of 5/21/77, I would agree with alvarhanso that these are great versions of Tennessee Jed and Jack Straw. In fact the whole cd is great-They Love Each Other, Cassidy, Jack-A-Row, Row Jimmy-all top notch. Its a lot more of a conventional mix than the 73-74 ones we have been listening to. Everything in its rightful place, no vocal howlers, Jerry at the helm-all good stuff. Not for a minute saying its better than 73-74, just very different and excellent in a totally different way. One thing that struck me as pleasingly unusual about 5/19/77 was its ending. Its very impressive the way the set quietly draws to a close with the last notes of the Playin' jam. I assumed that the few songs must have been excised, so I checked Deadbase. And that's the way it was on the night. Cool.

    Love those shows. 12/30/82 was a gem.. The three set 12/31 shines too, two great shows. 12/31/82 Oakland Auditorium Arena - Oakland, CA Set 1: Cold Rain And Snow C.C. Rider Cumberland Blues Far From Me Cassidy Ramble On Rose Looks Like Rain Day Job Set 2: Sugar Magnolia Sugaree Man Smart-Woman Smarter Ship Of Fools Playin' In The Band Drums Not Fade Away Deal Sunshine Daydream Set 3: Turn On Your Love Light Tell Mama Baby What You Want Me To Do Hard To Handle In The Midnight Hour Encore: Brokedown Palace Nice Midnight Hour too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etDyZj16jiM Johnny / Erik - I just finished the Dark Star show too. Looks like I'm not the only one turtling their way through the box. A great one, went to look for an audience to see if Keith didn't play or was just out of the mix but I didn't see one. One great Dark Star nonetheless.

    Re: Bob's spacey effect
    He's using a phaser pedal called a Foxx Foot Phaser. They were pretty new in 1973. At first i thought it was a MXR Phase 80, but they came out the next year. I had never noticed him using that before, but these are also the first summer '73 shows officially released in their entirety. He definitely isn't using it in '74, and I don't recall hearing it in Winterland '73, and I think that 35 min Dark Star would've been a great place to employ some phaser, but I didn't hear any the other day, when I listened to that second set and the 12/4/73 bonus disc. He plays it liberally throughout the 3 '73 shows in this box, sometimes it adds an astounding texture, like Sugaree. It really mixes that one up at a time where Sugaree was a good song, but not venturing out into the 15 min+ territory that it got to in 1977. Like, the Tennesee Jed from 5/21/77 DP 29 (see it was mentioned here for other reasons today, and you may wanna check the Jack Straw and Jed on 5/21 if you pull that one out because all of these other mentions, which I heartily endorse), Jerry uses his MuTron for the solo, a rarity that I think I heard only a couple other times. Pretty sure none of the other May '77 shows released have one. But don't think I've heard Jerry rip a better Jed than that one, and it follows on the heels of my favorite May '77 Jack Straw. But, I digress... Oh, and to jump into the Donna fray, something I wanted to avoid. But then the Scarlet Begonias from 5/19/74 came on and I was enjoying up until her remote control shock. And, as has been pointed out, there's some Bobby shouting going on as well, not much of it good shouting either. Wonder why the mics couldn't conveniently go out for those parts. Though, as some said, it's quite interesting hearing the music, I'm personally fascinated hearing what Jerry plays and doesn't play for those songs. Lastly, it is really nice to hear Keith quite prominently on a lot of songs, and to hear him taking solos is striking. If he took them regularly, the mix on most of the releases must really have him buried. His playing is fantastic on these shows.

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

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...."

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.

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

Strange, I was listening to March 22, 1972 Academy of Music - New York, NY with a 2nd set Sugaree.I am still holding out for 1979 Dave's Pick.

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.
