The legendary Bay Area rock superstars Grateful Dead scored with a plethora of wonderful recordings throughout their incredible career that encompassed four decades. Their concerts were of legendary proportions, and during their mammoth breakthrough years of the late sixties, a whole new audience was discovering their magic thanks to their inspiring concerts and musical acumen.

As a new touring season began, the Dead celebrated with a very appreciative New York City audience at the Fillmore East. This masterful performance went on to become one of the most revered ever in their long concert history.

Always known for being on top of the audiophile medium, the Dead would record a lot of their shows over the years with state of the art equipment. This particular show was of no exception as long time Dead member/producer Phil Lesh and producer John Cutler teamed up with the definitive Dead archivist David Lemeiux and compiled the much celebrated Fillmore East 2-11-69.

Filled with 17 stellar vinyl performances, The Grateful Dead’s Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Mickey Hart, Bill Kruetzmann, Ron McKernan and Tom Constanten truly radiate with some of their finest playing and singing ever, making this a wonderful listen and highly collectible album for years to come.

Many favorite Grateful Dead classics and superior rarities abound in this lengthy dream set including the long-awaited audiophile vinyl releases of "St. Stephen," "Dupree’s Diamond Blues" and the superior jam of the Bobby "Blue" Bland classic "Turn On Your Lovelight." Known for their lengthy jams, solid live masterpieces get their due on this amazing set like brilliant versions of "Dark Star," "The Other One," and "The Eleven."

As an added super rare treat, a tip of the hat to The Beatles is preserved in the audiophile domain with their fine interpretation of "Hey Jude" as well as a pair of masterful blues classics with "King Bee" and "Good Morning Little School Girl."

Mastered by Joe Reagoso at Friday Music Studios, featuring restored vault tapes by David Glasser, this reissue is packaged in a tri-fold cover with Gary Lambert’s original liner notes and retro LP label artwork.
