    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.

    It's really funny that you mentioned this, because I immediately thought so the first time I heard the Live Dead record about 15 years ago. I think what probably accounted most for the similarity is the fact that Townsend and Garcia both played the Gibson SG, and Entwistle and Lesh both played a Precision Fender bass (at least in early '69 for Lesh - at some point he switched to one of those Alembic concoctions with the four knobs to control volume).

    Complaining
    Its a topic in itself, in a way-whether we should complain if we feel we have received a poor service, or whether we should grin and bear it. I can remember a friend of mine years ago saying that if he was out for a meal with his wife and friends, and was served food that should have been hot-but was served cold-he wouldn't say anything, as to do so would spoil the mood of the party. How much do you take before you speak out? At the other extreme, I can remember guy who would complain constantly-even if there was nothing wrong- in order to get a free meal. I recently bought a new turntable, and on the second day of ownership, the lid snapped off. I can play albums without the lid - but the way I am-I wanted things put right. So I contacted the seller-who is handling things alright. I always tried to give a good service when I was offering one-and used to encourage people to complain if they felt I-or the organisation I was working for-wasn't meeting their expectations. I should also say that it isn't just Dead box boxes that have defective cds enclosed. I have also had to ask for replacement discs in the Pink Floyd box and the David Bowie box with Heroes in.

    9/13/93
    And another show from my "mp3 35" came up today. My iPod threw the PITB/DStar combo from 9/13/93 at me as I was looking for parking after my post-work drive. Was blown away by both the intensity of the PITB and the different sonic palatte that Vince and MIDI brought to the band. Didn't even reach the Dark Star before I shut down the car, so I am looking forward to my Tuesday drive to work now! Jerry's pseudo-acoustic guitar sound is too twee for my rocker taste, but Bobby is crunchy and Vince is constantly intertwining work on multiple keyboards and Mickey is in Techno/Industrial mode. Through the warm vibes of The Dead's Americana I was re-introduced to Johnny Cash and introduced to Merle Haggard and opened to the joys of the late 60s Country-Rock crossover scene (Burritoes, Nitty Gritty, Commander Cody, etc) and I was mentally trained for Coltrane and Davis AND The Orb. The Dead truly were a band that "contained multitudes"! EDIT: Oh yeah, my point was that 9/13/93 would be a cool DaP (fits on 2 discs, so third disc could be the majority of another 93 second set...).

    7/2/88 & 12/1/79 & my Deadshelves
    Would love either of these as DaP28 (12/1/79 was suggested on the Dap27 thread).7/2/88 because I actually won't buy a Ebay 30T 7/3/88 without already having a GDM version of 7/2. Yeah, The Weight, but 7/2/88 is a night they played almost only favorite songs of mine and 7/3 is a night they played mostly songs that I don't love. GOTTA buy 7/2 first. So Ebay sellers: hope for 7/2 as DaP28! 12/1/79 because I have 35 mp3-sourced shows left on my Deadshelves. LMArchive cut off D/Ling soundboards shortly after i got DSL and before I was able to D/L many FLAC/SHN shows. Since then I have searched the net for FLAC/SHN D/Ls. I have 35 shows left to upgrade and 12/1/79 is one of the better ones. Bring it on GDM! Of those 35, my favorites are 12/1, 10/19/81, 8/8/82, and 6/28/88... While I have been able to aquire D/Ls of every high-qual '69 sdbd, I would be happy to get a GDM-packaged edition of ANYTHING '69! The "Magnificent Seven" were AMAZING! The Playing In The Band sandwich segment of 10/9/76 Set Two popped outta my iPod in the car this AM. That was a double bill show with The Who. Reminded me of how I have often thought that the two bands sounded remarkably similar on stage in '69. And that is a compliment to both bands! I have a very nice 4/22/79 sdbd. A tasty show that would not disappoint me. Anyway, get it, hear it, iTunes a bit of it, shelve it, and on to 29...

    I feel for the folks that have defective discs.. it happens every time a big release occurs. At it's core is the reality that the cost of errors related to outsourcing production is less than the cost of producing in in the US (factoring in the cost of replacing defects after production), and companies just deal with customer service issues and replacement costs after the fact. It's simply cheaper. Yet.. I feel for the folks that have to deal wit the uncertainty of replacement. I am sympathetic. It's a significant part of the process. Let it be.. weird comments and all.. if we fork out hard earned dough, we expect to be made whole. In the end we are all better off if releases are practically perfect in every way. I don't get the political reference either. But that could just be me.

    Caught 2/19 and 2/20 82 in San Diego and they were great shows. Hard rocking. Jerry was rocking out and Brent on piano and organ was right with him. During Truckin I thought the seismic throb created by the band and the foot stomping crowd was going to bring the building down. Of course I also thought the floor was going to fall in while experiencing a similar seismic throb during a rooftop concert at the San Diego Convention Center by The Allman Brothers. Marijuana.

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.

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!

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
