Live/Dead

(Warner Bros.,)
Release Date: 01/01/1969 12:00

The Dead recorded their first great live album to help pay off the production debts they incurred with their expensive studio efforts. Consisting of three shows edited into one idyllic experience, Live/Dead was released on four vinyl sides, each with a distinct personality. It kicks off mid-show with the band entering warp drive via “Dark Star.” Side two speeds by like an atomic freight train, side three features the crowd-pleasing blues raunch of “Turn On Your Lovelight” and side four bids you goodnight with waves of feedback.

STANDOUT TRACKS: “Dark Star,” “The Eleven,” “Turn On Your Lovelight”
