Grateful Dead – Grateful Dead (CD, HDCD, Album, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, Digipak, Rhino Records / Warner Bros. Records R2 74398)

Why This CD Matters
The Grateful Dead were a San Francisco rock band known for mixing blues, country, and folk with open-ended live improvisation. This 1971 concert album moves from concise songs like “Mama Tried” and “Johnny B. Goode” to the 18-minute “The Other One,” giving a first-time listener a feel for the band’s wide-ranging live sound. “Bertha,” “Playing In The Band,” and “Wharf Rat” became enduring parts of the group’s concert repertoire.

Collector Note
This 2003 U.S. Rhino and Warner Bros. reissue presents the album as an HDCD remaster, an edition identified by catalog number R2 74398. It expands the original album with “Oh, Boy!” and “I’m A Hog For You,” plus a hidden radio promo after the listed tracks. The gatefold digipak includes an attached 15-page booklet.
