Rhino Reckoning - Grateful Dead Acoustic Vinyl Record

Experience a landmark moment in music history with the Reckoning vinyl release from Rhino. This collection captures the extraordinary 15th anniversary celebrations performed by the Grateful Dead in 1980. During their historic runs in San Francisco and New York City, the band introduced a special 45-minute acoustic set to open every performance. This marked their first acoustic sets since 1970, offering a unique sonic departure from their standard electric shows. This recording brings the warmth of those intimate performances directly to your turntable. The sets feature a diverse range of music, including reinterpretations of classic Dead and solo songs, traditional tracks from their jugband days, and new additions to their repertoire. Every note was captured using high-quality 32-track tape technology, created by syncing two 16-track tape machines. This vinyl edition allows fans to revisit the magic of those legendary acoustic sets with the depth and character that only analog recording can provide. Whether you are a lifelong follower or a collector of classic psychedelic rock, this record is a must-have piece of musical history.
