This release comes as a two-CD set but such is the length of some of the performances, that it has had to be split into two double vinyl sets. Vol 1: 1969-1977 is issued alongside the full 2CD set, and volume two will be issued later this year. The Best of the Grateful Dead Live will be issued on 23 March 2018.
THE BEST OF THE GRATEFUL DEAD LIVE features liner notes by Blair Jackson, and photos by Jay Blakesberg and Mary Ann Mayer. As always, it has been mastered to HDCD specs by David Glasser. The music will be available through digital and streaming services as well.
