The Grateful Dead chose this remarkable recording to launch their label. Recorded in 1975 at San Francisco's Great American Music Hall, it was one of the first shows after a 19 - month break. This performance reunited Jerry Garcia, Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann, Mickey Hart (back after 1971), and Keith and Donna Jean Godchaux. The band previewed material from
Blues for Allah during the nationwide radio - broadcast show. The recording quality surpasses most of the Dead's other master tapes. Fans have traded bootleg recordings for years, but this is the official
One From The Vault that started the Grateful Dead Records label. Features include a black triple vinyl pressing, first - time on vinyl in over 20 years, remastered at Cohearent Audio, housed in a three - panel gatefold jacket. Originally released in 1991 and re - issued by Future Days Recordings in 2013. Reviewed by Hank Ohs in 03/2015.
Using this vinyl record is easy. Just place it on a turntable, gently lower the needle onto the groove, and enjoy the music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting fingerprints on it. Keep the record away from direct sunlight and high - temperature areas as heat can warp the vinyl. After each use, store it back in its three - panel gatefold jacket to protect it from dust and scratches. If the record gets dirty, you can use a vinyl record cleaning brush to gently clean the grooves. Remember, this is a special remastered edition, so take good care of it to ensure you can enjoy the amazing music for years to come.
