Vinyl 4LP-Set Remastered by Joe Gastwirt with Lacquers Cut by Kevin Gray!

Recorded live at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY in 1971, the seminal Three From The Vault features the five piece line-up of Pigpen, Garcia, Weir, Lesh, and Kruetzmann (Mickey Hart had temporarily left the band at that point), remastered in 2014 by Joe Gastwirt for your pleasure. Twenty classic Grateful Dead songs across eight sides of wax!

The band played six shows over the course of seven nights at the Capitol Theatre in February of 1971, and this was the second of that run, recorded on the 19th. Their previous two studio albums had been the landmark recordings of Workingman's Dead and American Beauty, and while songs from those albums were certainly featured, the band debuted seven brand new songs on this night - all of which went on to become Dead "standards" including "Playing in the Band," "Greatest Story Ever Told," "Bird Song" and "Deal."

These releases are distinguished from the more abundant Dick's Picks series in that Dick's Picks are "direct from the soundboard" recordings, while the From The Vault series were professionally recorded on multi-track tape and then mixed down (decades) later for release.
