    "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.

    Gotta feel bad about the delivery hell some people, seems like overseas, are going through. I too was away for 3 weeks during the delivery period. Rather than risk a screwup like some have described I had a friend pick it up and hold it. I know not everyone is in the position to do that. I have to say that with very few minor exceptions ups has been very good over the years and I get quite a bit of deliveries. It was my turn this time for disc problems. 1st time and I get everything. This release seems to have a lot of problems. The autoreply said it would be a minimum of 5 days before they could truly respond they were so busy. Time to evaluate the plant they use

    Butch - Dave's Picks 2 sells for hundreds of dollars on eBay because it's the 2nd selection in a very limited series. Doesn't hurt that it's a pre-hiatus show, but no matter what show they chose, that pick would be highly in demand... That said, agree the 3 shows from 1974 included in this box are out of this world. If any one of them would have ever been released as a stand-alone dave's pick, it would be at or near the top of all of our lists. I've taken a few breaks to listen to other dead releases, but the vast majority of my listening has been spent on these shows. Truly love them.

    Please, no more UPS!Being on vacation when PNW was to be delivered to me, I got the UPS delivery center (in France) to keep my package until the day of my return. But, without informing me, a few days later the parcel was sent to Germany to the center of abandoned objects! I was furious! I then made several phone calls before someone told me that he will take care of me return the package. I wait…

    But I think the 1974 material on this box set blows away Dave's Picks Volume 2 from Dillon Stadium. Not just the audio quality but the performance as well. Yet Dave's Picks Volume 2 sells for a few hundred bucks on eBay. The audio on that show is just awful. It's as if they recorded the show on a normal bias tape instead of a high bias tape, if I was to compare the sound to the old tape cassette days. I can only assume the price tag has to do with its rarity. Dave's Picks Volume 1 of course also goes for several hundred, but that really is one of the best shows of 1977.

    UPS-and its goodbye from me.
    I am still engaged in online dialogue with UPS about why there were such big differences in shipping costs across the UK. Or was up until today. I got passed around from one department to another, from one individual to another, then back again-all politely asking for the tracking number and asking how they could help. I've run out of steam now-which is giving into opaque bureaucratic procedure-but I have got my spiritual development to consider-and this dialogue is going nowhere. I hope they don't use UPS again. I would far rather wait an extra 4-5 weeks for a delivery, with less/no shipping costs, than pay through the nose for one that arrives more quickly.

    For anyone who missed out on this and still needs it, you can still order this, you just need to go to the Grateful Dead Instagram, click on the picture of the Halloween mug, scroll down to show other products available, click on the picture of Dave’s Picks 27 and then click on view in webstore. My order went through, I thought it might be just a glitch in the system and would receive a message saying I would be refunded, but I received a shipping confirmation today. So it is there, I hope I explained that properly for anyone still in need. I was quite surprised and grateful.

...I don’t think a lot of people will be receiving the box set by this Saturday. When it does arrive - ‘people get ready’ for something far superior than most fans/critics anticipated! ;) This is a beautiful work of art, in every aspect. Good ol Grateful Dead - 6 unreleased shows from an amazing part of the Grateful Dead recorded history & era! Primo, my sisters & brothers. :)

Which route do you take to get to Bryce? Do you take the road to Hurricane and then through Zion to Mt Carmel Jct? Amazing drive if that's your route although just driving through Zion is rather pricey when you pay the park entrance fee...rather envious...oh also...are you camping or staying at Ruby's Inn or some other lodging?

I also thought of the times I would visit my parents, up to about 5 years ago. It was a 5 and half hour drive from the East coast of England, where I live, to the north west where they did. The scenery wasn't as beautiful as the one depicted in the photograph, but it was interesting enough how it changed from the flat East Anglian terrain to the wild and wonderful Yorkshire Moors. It was, of course, a great opportunity to shut out the working world and listen to a Dead show uninterrupted. I would often start with something else, and then after an hour or so I would slip a Dead show on to carry me home. My friends would often assume I dreaded this long journey-I loved it!

No shipping notice and order status remains 'Not shipped'. Hardly an issue as it will take weeks to get here, including a stopover at Dutch customs so that taxes and duties can be levied. That's just the way it is.

Bryce is higher up, and cooler.. I wouldn't say more scenic but certainly more colorful and surreal/trippy. Zion is big, especially vertically. It contains some really big walls.. That being said, it is perhaps more hike friendly and there's a couple cool creeks that meander through the giant cliffs and canyons. At least that's my (often failing) memory. I'm sure you will have a blast.. Zion has some family friendly, quick hikes that might serve to break up the drive, loosen up your legs and push you completely into vacation mode. https://www.citrusmilo.com/zionguide/recommend.cfm Again, have fun.. play Dead. Man.. I am really stoked for this box. Unless you paid for speedy shipping and considering this is likely not a small box.. I bet they went economy ground. That being said, if you live right next to a close regional UPS hub.. you might get this much sooner than the estimated arrival date. I bet we start getting stories of deliveries soon. Super stoked for this box, and did no sneak listens. Did someone say "possibly the best Bird Song ever performed?" Oh.. mama.

While we wait for 73/74 treasure trove...I happened to stumble across Jerry + Merl Live at the Record Plant 1973 in Sausalito on iTunes. Released 8/31/18 for $7.99. Previews sound smooth and mellow. Never heard Jerry do "Georgia On My Mind" - sorta curious. Doesn't appear to be on sale anywhere else. Google has very little info on this session other than it was recorded for KSAN radio back in the day - Anybody ever listen to a boot? Thanks!

Tell them to just refund full ship charges. I did that with GSTL box last year and they were very accommodating. You might want to also try rhino/dr. rhino, as the deadnet customer service is not the most efficient. I think I used rhino because of the big deadnet site crash when GSTL was announced and ended up ordering through the rhino site. Just give them the order number. Expedited to me in Colorado means UPS overnight. Waiting for the tracking number to show up in the UPS system, when they separately send an email telling me what time window to expect delivery. Expedited doesn't mean it gets there faster than release date, just fewer vehicle changes, so less bouncing around and dislodging discs. Shipping box isn't beat up when it arrives and everything inside is just exactly perfect. Looking forward to this set.

Disregard the previous. That was then; this is now. Mine also is going ups ground, delivery on 9/11/18. Not what I paid for, but predictable, I suppose. In fact, with many businesses these days, it seems to be the standard to over-promise and under-deliver. Fortunately, AMEX has a pretty good billing dispute opreation if the need arises. I'm sure I can find plenty to keep my ears occupied until then, maybe some of my seven: Lewisburg Pa 4/14/71 (with New Riders, Jerry on pedal steel) Spectrum, Phila Pa 9/21/72 Spectrum, Phila Pa 3/24/73 RFK Stadium, Wash DC 6/10/73 (with Allman Bros. Band) County Coliseum, El Paso Tx 11/23/73 Tower Theatre, Upper Darby Pa 6/24/76 Civic Center, St Paul, Mn 7/3/78

I have grown up with Burt Reynold's movies in my life. Most were watched during the 70's at the one screen local CORNET Theater in Audubon NJ. Here are some of my favorites: 1972 "Deliverance" - made Burt a star 1974 "The Longest Yard" 1977 "Semi-Tough" 1977 "Smokey and the Bandit" No.2 highest grosser of the year. No.1 was "Star Wars" 1978 "Hooper" 1980 "Smokey 2" 1981 "Cannonball Run" 1982 "The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas" - The end of Burt's hot streak with films 1992 "The Player" - flop 1996 "Citizen Ruth" 1997 "Boogie Nights"- his best role and best film of his career

Ha.. great post, I have a ten year old. I will be looking for your comments at swift.net Monday morning. Hope you have a blast. I think someone out there will get a copy tomorrow.. (at least that's my hope). Future rankings... reading the tea leaves. - FW69 - E72 box - 30 trips - PNW (Totem Box, whoo) - Winterland 73 - Get Shown the Light (some will put this higher) - Winterland 77 - May 77 v1 - Spring 90 TOO - Warlocks - Spring 90 - All the rest combined I expect some pushback on this, vitriol is welcomed.. but if so, have a better list. Have fun out there folks. Edit: Much like May 77 v1, there is more (and better) to come from this era. It's good to be the king.

Been checking my email compuslively, finally went to check order status. Still in processing. I also did expedited shipping, because Dead stuff usually gets to me later somehow, so kinda bummed that I sprang for the quicker shipping and yet I'm still being processed. I wish I could be like Jim and float like a leaf on the river of life, but I want to get it ripped tomorrow night before I head to practice Saturday, so I can throw it on the USB for the drive. I try to never ever play my cds in the car. Also, I made 2 massive ommissions in my favorites list: Graceland is my favorite, desert island album, and Stop Making Sense is one of the most impressive documents of live music and what goes into a show I can think of; just sheer brilliance from the "Hi, I've got a tape I wanna play" intro to Byrne doing Psycho Killer acoustic solo with a tape he made straight through to Crosseyed and Painless. Here's to hoping the box does arrive tomorrow after all, not banking on it, but nice to dream. In the meantime Meeting of the Spirits John McLaughlin and Jimmy Herring and their bands ripping Mahavishnu Orchestra is an amazing live album I just received on vinyl, with a cd, and a free download (in multiple formats, I did mp3, wav, and flac), a limited print, and sticker, and long sleeve tour tee, all for 75 bucks! Mindblowing music by 9 virtuosos ripping insanely complex stuff and everyone staying right together, no bum notes or straying from the beat, and getting extremely loud, but also softening the dynamics. I highly recommend seeking it out. You could also search for them on youtube, they webcast an entire show that had Jimmy's band The Invisible Whip's set, then McLaughlin and the 4th Dimesnion's set, then the combined Mahavishnu set. It was maybe at the Capitol in Port Chester. If you like guitar fireworks, it's a pretty good display.

Hey man,The Player might have been a financial flop (I actually have no idea) but it is IMO the best movie Burt ever appeared in (with Boogie Nights a close second). It's a very good Robert Altman film that basically makes fun of the movie industry.

In France, the box will reach me a little later. And unfortunately, I will not be at home to receive it, because I will be gone on vacation for three or four weeks. Life has taught me to wait, and I know beforehand that I will be very happy to come back from vacation.

As of 5:20 AM, September 7th, 2018, I have not received a shipping notice email. On the humorous side here at dead.net in years past, I remember some people who got their goods several days before they got a shipping notice email. It was more like one or two after they got the goods. I find that to be ironically funny.

I would agree with your rankings of the box sets, overall. Mainly that you place the pre 1974 shows in the top bracket ( the best shows in 30 Trips are surely the 1966-1974 ones), the 1977 ones taking up the middle position, and the 1989 onwards propping up the list. Having said that, I haven't got the Fillmore West 1969 box-although I have heard the shows often enough- or the first 1990 box set. Consequently quite pleasing that you place Spring 90 TOO, the one I did get, two places higher than the first one, the one that I didn't. I would also agree with Alvarhanso that Stop Making Sense is a great film of a live concert. Its the only thing, apart from a couple of singles, that I've got by Talking Heads-but its in a class of its own.

Sounds like an all win situation to me! I imagine the box will turn up here in England sometimes in October. I am normally very patient, and then , just when I start to get worried, it shows up. And I have just been interrupted by the post man delivering the "Trouble No More" Dylan box set. That's me sorted for the weekend.
