The Best Of Grateful Dead Live: 1969-1977 - Vol 1 (Double LP)

Made for die-hard Dead Heads and new fans alike, The Best Of The Grateful Dead Live is the ultimate live collection, a two-disc set with recordings selected from the band's official live albums on Warner Bros. and Arista, plus a few tracks from their many archival live releases, beginning with "St. Stephen" - from the group's first official live album, 1969's Live/Dead - and ending with the poignant "So Many Roads" , taken from the band's final concert at Chicago's Soldier Field in July of 1995.

The live albums the band released during its 30-year career are the primary source for this collection, including tracks like "Bertha" from Grateful Dead (Skull & Roses) (1971), "Fire On The Mountain" from Dead Set (1981), and "The Music Never Stopped" from One From the Vault (1991). A testament to its ongoing popularity, the revered double-album Europe '72 (1972), is represented by no less than five tracks, including "Sugar Magnolia", "Jack Straw" and a searing rendition of "Morning Dew".
