Fillmore West 1969

With the massive number of Grateful Dead concert CDs on the market, why should anyone care about Fillmore West 1969? Because it’s really, really awesome. This three-disc set expands the legendary 1969 Live/ Dead album, the first of their many concert releases and the first 16-track live recording ever. (A new 10-CD version has already sold out.) No frilly funk excursions here — most of this stuff is gritty, hard-edged psychedelic rock.
