A Review Of The Grateful Dead Dead Ahead DVD
Feb 5th, 2010 by livedeadfreak
The Grateful Dead Dead Ahead DVD features performances from the Halloween 1980 concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York City as well as bonus material from the night before.
The Radio City Music Hall concerts are legendary because of the bands return to playing acoustic for the first time since 1970. Each show featured 3 sets, beginning with an acoustic set followed by two electric sets. All 25 shows were recorded for two live albums, the acoustic Reckoning (which is fantastic by the way) and electric Dead Set. Because of this, audience taping was forbidden which made life difficult for tapers who had to go stealth. For the full review visit the link above.
