Grateful Dead :: Fillmore West 69



When The Grateful Dead announced they were releasing every note from the legendary February/March 1969 run at The Fillmore West, I couldn't have pulled out my credit card fast enough. This limited edition box set IS lightening in a bottle, a glorious moment in time and one of the greatest collections of music to grace our planet.

Even though I listened to a copy of the 2/28 Dark Star > St. Stephen > The Eleven every day in college I still felt compelled to own the master recordings (plus my version had some cuts in it)

While the full box sets sold out in an instant, they are selling a "best of" compilation still over at the GD Store. Well worth it...enjoy.
