GRATEFUL DEAD Two From The Vault (Future Days Recordings FDR 608) Shrine Auditorium 1968 US MINT
As-new copy of the Grateful Dead live set "Two From The Vault", released on Future Days Recordings/Light In The Attic (2014).
Originally issued on the Grateful Dead`s own label in 1992, this is the limited edition 4xLP vinyl pressing from a few years back.
The Grateful Dead recorded live in concert at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on August 24th, 1968.
"These performances were documented using what was then a state-of-the-art multi-track machine provided (and administered) by the Dead's record company, Warner Brothers. After being shelved for nearly two-and-a-half decades, the band's longtime sonic gurus Dan Healy and Jeffery Norman digitally reconstructed and released this aurally accurate and musically motivated performance. The set list is fairly typical of the band's mid-1968 repertoire. Having just issued their second platter, Anthem Of The Sun, a month earlier, the Dead were concentrating fairly heavily on material from that disc -- including most of the first side. The extended "That's It for the Other One" suite is executed with the acidic fury associated with this era of the Grateful Dead.
The band is also looking forward to their upcoming projects. These include Aoxomoxoa -- their next studio effort -- which contains "Saint Stephen." However, the track appears in the context of their 1969 release, Live/Dead, linked with "Dark Star" on one side and "The Eleven" on the other. Also from the genre-defining double-LP set is "Death Don't Have No Mercy" and "(Turn On Your) Lovelight". The developmental stage of these tunes is nothing short of aurally palpable. The band is able to achieve -- if not arguably surpass -- much of the same energy that drove the versions which became indelibly stamped into the psyche of the counterculture, as well as Deadheads world wide. Two From The Vault is a fun ride, as well as a glimpse into the immense improvisational talents of the Grateful Dead in the late '60s." - Lindsay Planer, allmusic.com
