Pacific Northwest 73/74 box set
Forums:
Have not bought a box set yet, but this came out while I was in Portland this summer. That got me thinking about it.
There is a cable car aerial tram thing that runs up to a big medical center in Portland and when we walked to the outside patio at the top, there was an art exhibit including work by the Native American artist whose work adorns the box set (I'll know his name when my box arrives tomorrow) . That was enough of a 'cosmic burp' that I bought a copy
My son received his surprise box in Portland today. This eastie has to wait til tomorrrow.

Got mine yesterday. Very nicely done and the discs sound fantastic.
Latvala was right; 1973 is the best year.

Latvala WAS right IMHO. Members of the band were quoted as saying that the one drummer format allowed them to swing like a jazz band

I'm going one disc a day for the next 19 days.
The packaging is beautiful. They could get a Grammy nomination for that alone.

I saw a photo of the complete package - it was incredibly beautiful, but I can't find where I saw it. Probably on Facebook, but I can't remember who posted it. I'd love to see it again.
Gorgeous.

Mine arrived yesterday - love the package design and the music sounds spectacular. Of course, true to Rhino shoddiness, I already have one disc (6/22/73 - disc #2) that needs to be sent back due to digital skipping.

Hey Rob, it looks like you
Hey Rob, it looks like you have some sort of slip with the number of your set. Was that in the stash box? Mine didn't arrive with one. I wonder if I contact GDM if they can send me mine?

yes, the slip has the number and is in the wood box. mine is 14928, ordered within minutes of the on-sale announcement.

^^^Mine was #02534 and I don't recall ordering on the day of sale. Thanks also, Fishcane in reminding me that Rhino is indeed very good about replacing items. I have had this experience with them and GD Box Set stuff before and it's just freaking annoying to have to send something back when you have really been looking forward to it arriving.

The sound on these discs is
The sound on these discs is phenomenal. The Wall Of Sound picks up every nuance of their playing. I'm up to the Seattle '73 show at my one disc a day regimen. I've had several non-Deadhead friends, employees and customers comment on how exceptional the sound is. One compared it to like you were in a mobile recording unit while it was happening live.

Song 1 , disc one was JUST like being at a GD show. They started with Bertha and you can't hear the vocals until the 2nd verse. Sound was top notch by song two.

>The Wall Of Sound picks up every nuance of their playing
I think you would have to listen to an audience recording to actually hear the Wall Of Sound.
Stage mics >> soundboard>> PA System for the WoS
Stage mics>>soundboard>> two track reel to reel recording for the CDs
You can hear Phil's 4 string separation to varying degrees on 1973/74 SBD recordings

When you hear Donna scream on
When you hear Donna scream on a 1973 soundboard, it's not the Wall Of Sound, it's her signal from the soundboard hitting the tape really hard. well, it is the Wall Of Sound because she has no monitors and is having to scream-sing just to hear what she's doing. That's why she sounds bad on soundboard recordings but not that bad on an audience recording. You are hearing two different things. She is mixed properly coming through the Wall of Sound but not on the 2 track board recordings.

Just got around to disc 14 (PDX 74 Set I). Is it just my copy - I doubt it - or is anyone else's missing vocals for a bunch of songs? Sounds like it is on the master - was that the case at the show FOH as well?
