The Grateful Dead Movie Soundtrack [10LP Box Set]

Grateful Dead - The Grateful Dead Movie Soundtrack [10LP Box Set]

The Grateful Dead Movie, directed and edited by Jerry Garcia and Leon Gast, is a documentary concert film capturing the band, their associates, and their devoted fanbase during a historic 1974 five-night run of concerts at the Winterland Auditorium in San Francisco — shows that were, at the time, expected to be the group's last ever. These recordings capture the Dead at the height of their mid-'70s powers and effectively marked the end of the first act of the group's 30-year career, followed immediately by a yearlong hiatus.

The Grateful Dead Movie Soundtrack holds legendary status among Dead Heads, not only for the group's superb playing but for documenting the last shows where their infamous "Wall of Sound" system was captured to tape, along with the return of drummer Mickey Hart to the band's lineup. Available for the first time in any format since 2005, and on vinyl for the first time ever, this release features the full 44-song tracklist originally issued on the 2005 CD set, newly configured for vinyl. Pressed on 10 solid color, audiophile-quality discs by Optimal Media, mastered by David Glasser at Airshow Mastering, with lacquers cut by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering and Plangent Processes tape speed correction by Jamie Howarth.

Housed in a deluxe casebound slip & slash box with a full-color flood-printed interior, this limited, individually numbered edition includes newly designed inner jackets with exclusive artwork and a 42-page hardcover book featuring liner notes by Nicholas G. Meriwether and rare, previously unpublished photos courtesy of Retro Photo Archive.
