    "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.

    Did You Feel Like Jesus
    Random distraction.. Against my usually correct instincts.. I got pulled into a pre-order for tickets the day I got my tax refund this last spring.. and scored two tickets to see Steely Dan in a quant vaudeville theatre in Pittsburg last night. I had this strange feeling that it just wouldn't be the same after the passing of Walter Becker.. but I pulled the trigger nonetheless. Had a great time.. they still have it. The last time I saw them, it was a 13 piece band with three backup singers, two guitarists (including Becker) and a four piece brass ensemble. This time, a 12 piece.. more or less the same but just one guitarist. It was bittersweet in that regard, I guess some cannot simply be replaced. (Did you feel like Jesus?) Did you realize That you were a champion in their eyes? Ending on a good note, they still have it.. and the tickets I scored (at non-scalper prices no less) were front row, stage left. There was a gap in the apparatus and we happened to be right where Fagan glanced when he was in thought and moving his head out of the light. Careful what you carry Cause the man is wise You are still an outlaw in their eyes I wouldn't say they were as good as the last time I saw them.. almost.. but it gets the five star approval rating. The sound in this tiny theatre was excellent and the boys were jamming with spirit. RIP Walter Becker. Ok.. back to your regularly scheduled banter, bickering, praise, disgust and generally spirited discussions.. Get Along... Get Along Kid Charlemagne. Or in the spirit of discourse that rears it's head from time to time. Get Off My Grass Kid Charlemagne.

    a nice response to our fellow heads' troubles:"Sorry to hear about all the problems with discs and box damage. I’ve never had a problem in my 7+ years of pavlovian dead.net purchasing." A response that ain't nice: "Quit bitching about your goddamn product malfunctions. Nobody cares, especially me - this forum is for pure entertainment...STFU. Talk about Motorhead, or something cool. We all deal with adversity. I run a company. Some of you are, simply - ridiculous whiners." Sorry about your bad day LedDed. Maybe you should sell that company before you get any worse. Try to take out your frustrations elsewhere so they don't feed the bad weather that chronically blows through here... My sympathies to all who have problems in their Dead-life. But more sympathy to those frustrated with their GDM experiences than to those frustrated with hearing about others troubles.

    I sent my request through the link in the confirmation email yesterday in regards to multiple cd issues with this release. Received response today that replacements are on the way.The cds are really thin cheap, need better quality control.... That said I don't buy all these releases mostly due I think they're total overkill, just give us the music. These shows should've been released individually cd/download. They typically listen to us I'm for less to no giant boxes but more individual non subscription, no limited edition, no dave's logo taking up space (not hating on dave), no horrible skeleton 'art', plain bootleg type releases. everyone gets so blinded by a little card with a number on it that they think gives these releases some additional worth. give us more releases from different years , maybe 5-7 a year with no promises no bonus disc you want it you buy it...I just think the subscription limited big box thing just needs to be mixed up a bit. and cool on judas priest and motorhead and this 73-74....dig

    Man, thanks for the reminder/tribute!. Entwistle was the finest bassist I ever saw live. I would put him against the great Jack Bruce, but, alas, I never saw Jack. I did see John Paul Jones. Another hero. Gene Simmons' bass lines are vastly underrated. He got a lot from McCartney, who stole James Jamerson. It just keeps on going. Sting and Adam Clayton are also awesome, as is Roger Glover. Quit bitching about your goddamn product malfunctions. Nobody cares, especially me - this forum is for pure entertainment. Address your concerns to the appropriate parties, the Dr, Marye, etc. The rest of the field remain powerless to help you as we are not staffing the Rhino warehouse. I have never had a shit experience purchasing product here. Sorry. If I did, I can't imagine it would enrich the forum or anyone's day to detail it here... "I talked to customer service in Indonesia and was hung up on and no one understands what a big baby I am, blah blah blah. My first world problems should call out the National Guard!" You are dreaming if you think the suits, or Dave, mine this treasure chest regularly to decide what to release, where to source out product, etc. STFU. Talk about Motorhead, or something cool. We all deal with adversity. I run a company. Some of you are, simply - ridiculous whiners.

    Replacement disc saga (and possible future release?!?)
    HI All- I wrote a while back about my experience in getting discs replaced. I am not going to repeat all of it other than summarizing what I think worked which was I kept up on them. It wasn't real easyas I had to email, wait for response, email again for update etc.. It took a few weeks but it worked out. It seems like some got their replacements faster, and some took longer than me and even some had no luck. It also sounds like there are various routes to take to get replacements. No doubt it's frustrating and stressful to have contend with this, at least it was for me. However I was damn well determined to persevere because I knew then rend result would be great music. Definitely quality control and customer service needs a little overhaul. I have to say that this was my first major issue like this and I somewhat disturbed...mainy for some future purchases. Now I am not really worried about Dave’s Picks but future boxes might be something I possibly hold off on to assess the quality level. I can see boxes that contain multiple shows (essentially many discs) might be prone to more quality issues. Basically there is just items to get screwed up. Then again if the box is from shows I really want, I don't think I will wait long to pull the trigger and buy it- who am I trying to fool? Now here is an interesting tidbit: When I went through this whole quest to get replacement discs it was basically a series of emails for communication/reporting/updating. Yet at one point in the process I did call customer services at Dead.net I knew this would likely be useless but might as well try right? After a short and yet nice conversation with the customer service rep, his basic advice was to email. At the very end he asked me few questions, like how long have liked the Dead, and then he asks what was my favorite show? Well I was calling from work so not only was a taken back by this question, I knew it wasn't an easy answer for me. but I quickly realized I was about to give this customer service rep my personal thesis. Rather than get potentially get written up or fired for a 30 minute stream of consciousness answer, I just blurted out 10/18/72. Now is a show I like that, the I listen too frequently and that is not released. I would certainly be a good one to have in my possession. So I don’t know could it be that this is some type of informal survey being conducted? Maybe the defective discs and non-linear process to get discs replaced are all in an effort to get frustrated customers to call in so that we can give direct input to future releases? I know this sounds like a twisted Willy Wonka golden ticket ploy. Or it could be aliens. In all reality this customer service rep was trying to be kind, but it is fun to ponder the “what if”. Seriously though, I do hope everyone gets their replacement discs because this release is just so good. Anyone who is thinking about giving up don’t. OH and I might as well make Dave’s Picks 28 prediction: yeah 10/18/72. Might as well try right?

    CD issues
    Finally made it through all of my discs and although many of them have large scratch and scuffs only one skipped and after a clean seems ok. I agree the quality control is lacking. I honestly feel my scratched discs should be replaced, I just don't want to go through the process. My GSTL box had several skipping discs as well, but all were replaced. If you buy a new anything, and there is a scratch on it, will one not return said item for an unblemished one? Personally I've been in manufacturing for over 25 years and my customers would pull contracts for reoccurring issues like this. Damage in shipping is a seperate issue. All my discs where secured in their holders so any scratch scuffs happened at point of manufacture/ packaging. But even with that said, we all choose to continually purchase these items knowing about past production issues. I hope everyone gets replacements asap. It just seems like any purchases from here should be treated with a "Caveat emptor" attitude.

We all know what's in this box? (Thanks to those for putting together the song list stats.) And what's in it looks amazing, I grabbed a copy. Hah, but just for kicks, what's missing? No Dew! Next night, 6/29/73, got it: He's Gone->Truckin->Other One->AM Dew. What else?

Fell in love with baseball when i was around 7 years old and played in little league. Caught my first Yankees game at Shea stadium cause Yankee stadium was being remodeled. A twi-night double header. Sparky Lyle, Craig Nettles, Munson, Guidry, etc. they got really good for several years and at the time I knew every player’s batting average by heart. Smoked weed in 82 and completely fell in love with Rock and Roll music (mostly of the 60’s, 70’s varieties). Completely stopped following baseball from that moment on. Always loved NHL hockey. Nothing like live hockey and playoff hockey wether you are there or not. Been a Rangers season ticket holder since the day I was born/ current MSG building opened. Got to thank Dad for that obsession and my Mom for being a music freak. Happy Father’s Day everyone!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7fHMt2v4Jw Oops that didn't embed, I guess I still haven't figure that out. Baseball, hockey, lacrosse, I'll take just about anything with a piece of wood or full contact, more fun to play than watch though for sure. Football is great with friends but I could care less about the NFL. But seriously some one had a great point...Earth needs fewer people just yucking some one elses yum, if we were all the same that would be boring as hell. And with a friendly reminder that the Boston Red Sox and Fenway Park are the ONLY baseball team and stadium that matter, that is all.

I agree about the Red Sox, but if any baseball fans are interested, I still have a Nolan Ryan Topps (what else was there back then) rookie card as well as a Johnny Bench rookie card, a 1968 Mickey Mantle card, a 1967 Carl Yastrzemski, and many more Hall of Famers, plus some other pretty cool memorabilia from back then. I even have a 1968 (he was age 25 then) Joe Namath card - wow, I can’t believe I still have this stuff! - I might be interested in swapping some of these for the 1977 Winterland box and the first May 1977 box. These aren’t graded since they’re cards my mom thankfully never threw away and my sister meticulously put into a binder album with the plastic sleeves. . Most of these look like they’re in really nice shape. Please PM me if interested in a swap or two. PS - My favorite player back then was Tony Conigliaro, by the way!

I was sitting here listening to Mississippi half-step from the Grateful Dead movie soundtrack, trying to figure out where the annoying offbeat tambourine was coming from. I can't remember Donna ever picking up a tambourine, and of course pigpen was long gone at that point. Then it struck me, oh yeah this song came off a disc 5. Mickey played on all disc 5. Enough said. No I'll say a little bit more. This band was only big enough for one drummer after 1970.

I can't believe how good this The Other One is on DaP 24. Haven't listened to it since the first 20 times right after it came out. After a break it's even better than before. Mcgrupp, what's missing - Uncle John's Band. That one never gets old for me.

I am pretty sure my cat got eaten last night by a creature of some sort. She was a sweetie.. not an angry kitty. Well, let's give her a week or so before I give up hope.

Yep, missing UJB. That and the Dew are sort of the only songs not played here that surprises me. But for whatever reason UJB wasn't played from 2/15/73 to 10/25/73 and then not from 3/23/74 to 6/23/74. As for AM Dew, it was played only 6x in 74, so not too surprising and then, as I mentioned, these shows just miss the one played the next show on 6/29. Other songs in rotation - though clearly rarities - during this period that are missing include: Candyman (only played 4x in 73, once 74), Cold Rain (3x 73, once 74), Cumberland Blues (7x 73, 7x 74), and Don't Ease (24x 73, 2x74). Anyway, gonna be one hell of a box! So...what's on deck for Dave's 27?

Not a bad title, eh? Use it for your next album, I won't sue. Just got back from a two-week Exile In Wisconsin. Complete with waterpark fun, brats, cases of beer and rabid boating. Jesus, those people are crazy, if Simple. Presently grooving on the recent Clapton release, "Life In 12 Bars." Imagine he spent time in about 12,000 bars counting hotels, airports and such, but given the blues based theme it's an apt title. Most of the great ones (Clapton, Keith Richards, SRV, etc.) were even better drinkers than musicians, but the respite from touring life and inspiration had to come from somewhere. Ladies and Gentlemen, tip your bartenders and waitstaff generously. Either that, or go straight to hell - do not pass, "Go," do not collect $200. Recommended. Also, for three cents it's about goddamn time Lemieux and the powers that be opted to offer up some primo-year shit to the mucho. Gracias! Looking forward to blasting the hell out of this release right out of the box at our next Garden Party. Eat your heart out, Rick Nelson. \m/

I cant deal with it lol its like someone making me eat a low grade hot dog that's not Oscar meyer all beef- I just cant do it, I don't know what we would do with all the vomit after the first bite alone lol I listened to the Dead when mayer was writing all these songs and the Dead was my sanctuary from it. I was like whew! thank god for grateful dead...and substance(substance meaning a song that has substance). so this like a personal hell/living nightmare for me lol

I recommend especially the concerts of 8 and 9 October 1989, released in The Warlocks Box in 2010. These two concerts given in Hampton are the bests of the year 1989 in my opinion.

Have any of yinz gotten on board with the HD audio versions? What are your thoughts? I'm conflicted here, not IF I'm going to buy this, but how? The warning about the "ornate" and "oversized" box gives me hesitation. I have a binding non-proliferation agreement with Mrs. Deadguy regarding the house not getting completely overrun with records and CD boxsets. I don't have any Apple devices, although surely there are players out there that can support both ALAC and FLAC. Apple lossless might be the sensible pragmatic option. That HD FLAC though. It is calling to me. But, then I would definitely need a major upgrade to my digital player. And then I would probably need a whole new system to get the most out of it. And then I would probably need to build an addition to my house to really crank it. And then I would have the extra room to store the new box set anyway. Alright its settled, I'm getting the box, and the HD downloads, and a brand new HD sound system, and I'm calling a contractor on Monday, and I'm sending a bill for all of it to Lemieux.

Less than a hand full performed with the Wall of Sound Traveling back from Hartford one of the few discs I attempted to play that was not be rejected by car Stereo CD player included one of these rarities. *+*+* July 1974 Chicago *+*+* UJB -> U.S. Blues and top notch Encore "Ship of Fools" A few months back I had Dicks Picks 31 spinning non-stop for a couple weeks, that UJB is smoking hot !! from August 1974. France in September 1974 may have the most laid back cool UJB performance with Wall of Sound

Agreed about the big box design. Prefer the ones that fit on a shelf. Oh well, ordered it immediately. Hopefully the discs will be individually packaged in a shelf friendly way. July 78 is the Ideal. Great post about missing songs. I love all versions of Cold Rain and Snow. And when it's an opener watch out.

After getting a chuckle out of Roguedeadguy's funny post about the choice of box or HD FLAC purchase, I read the bulk of it to my wife. Her immediate response was "I think I need Mrs. Deadguy's email". I suspect she wants to find out about this non-proliferation treaty Mr. and Mrs. Deadguy have in an attempt to negotiate her own non-proliferation treaty. Uh-oh. All I'm thinking is that I replaced my stereo and speakers last year, but if I get the HD FLAC version as well as the box I now know that can justify further upgrades.

Me and the Ms. are at the age where we're thinking about downsizing within 10 years. We're trying to reduce the load by parting with much of our stuff. Downloads don't take up any more room so that's the route I'm taking. At least when downloads are available. Can I really tell the difference between CD quality and high-res? Probably not. The ears are a bit fried. I hear my tinnitus in high-res though!

8/31/81 Aladdin Theatre, Las Vegas, Nevada.Because it's the "Thank a Fan" time at Rhino. It's *all* about a dead Head named Vguy ("Vince") and a then young lady (another Head) named Valerie here. They get their names published in the credits in the booklet and if they're subscribers to the Dave's Picks 2018 series, they get their $30 refunded. The show: Grateful Dead Aladdin Hotel Theatre Las Vegas, NV 31 August 1981 https://archive.org/details/gd1981-08-31.aud.unknown.91893.sbeok.flac16…

I'm sure Dave mentioned somewhere on the video clip that he displays or will proudly display a Grateful Dead Box Set somewhere in his abode for all to see, this is an example for all of us to follow, get rid of those wedding photos on the coffee table/mantlepiece, or any other clutter, detritus etc, we do have room for more boxsets. Gotta go ere indoors is, well indoors.

....if a gypsy woman was in the crosswalk, that would be the icing. That Aladdin gig is pretty nifty. Back in the day, it was considered the best sounding venue west of the Mississippi. Been there several times. No argument here. Best Phish show I witnessed occurred there. https://youtu.be/uASrrpyIa40 .... despite the fungi I ingested, I recall it very well. Best Simple ever. Burned into my grey matter forever. Top shelf. Sadly, the Aladdin is now rubble. Motley Crue was the final act. What a venue. Let's see. I saw Iron Maiden, Allman Bros, Counting Crows, Phish, Dylan twice, Rusted Root, Widespread Panic, Trans-Siberian Orchestra and Alice Cooper there. I might have forgotten a couple....thanks for the memory recall.

Did I miss this? Has this boxset been shown to us? If not, then this is a spoiler alert....checking out GD cds on ebay today, I found this listing. The second photo shows both the front and back angles of this new boxset. Again, if I missed an official unveiling, then this is moot. If I didn’t, then do not do this, if you do not want to see what this boxset looks like. Here is the link: https://m.ebay.com/itm/Grateful-Dead-Pacific-Northwest-1973-1974-Comple… Looks very cool!

Ok, I missed this. So this has already circulated, and is this the actual design? Does look very cool! And indeed, that guy is an idiot!

Hey Now Alain, good to see you back. Hope all is well over yonder. Icecream: taking your advice and watching the VFtV. I remember that one is west coast laid back. Set two Jer just settles in for a long slow meltdown. Just wrapping up watching Eric Clapton's 2007 CrossRoads DVD, great sound.

Just fired up the DVD.First thing I noticed - Mickey was drumming with drum sticks rather than the paint brushes he uses now, which don’t seem to make any sound.

we used to have a half an acre back yard and we used to let our cats Tippy and Baby out. and mom told me the story about Tippy was sittin and chillin at dusk on the deck. and a coyote saw her all the way from the edge of our property on the deck and started boundin after her, mom opened the door and said you better come in here and she did. coyote came up onto the porch. if I had known that coyotes did that I would have NEVER let Tippy and Baby out. especially Baby cuz she always wanted out at nite. Tippy lived to 15 years and Baby lived to 20 years.

After seeing these images of the box design, it makes all kinds of sense as to what Dave says about this box in his seaside chat. He says he normally does not display much GD stuff in his home. And then says that the design of this box is so amazing he has decided to display it on a certain end table. It would be cool to know if those images are the actual final design. Didn’t Dave mention something about seeing design elements, but not the finished product? Perhaps these images where just a mock-up. Maybe this isn’t what it actually looks like!!!After some research, I do think it will be for sure this shape, as that is a common shape of a One Nation Bentwood Box. Here is an example: https://www.canadianindianart.com/gallery/bent-box-design/ Also, in doing some reading about Roy Henry Vickers, I came across this video attached to an article by the CBC. Check it out, and then checkout the comments below it...this is awesome! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ol-QhNvk2bw#action=share
