GRATEFUL DEAD Winterland 1973: The Complete Recordings (9-CD Box) Available For The First Time At Retail, Limited Edition Nine-Disc HDCD Box Features 72 Stellar Tracks From The Band’s Peak-Form 3-Night Run At Winterland in November ’73— Mastered From The Original Two Track Master Analog Tapes! BACKGROUND: “The Dead had...beat the delivery of arena acoustics with a monstrous, traveling PA that was worth the bills just for the ice-knife slice of Jerry Garcia's guitar solos. A running joy across this nine-CD box...Oiled and armed from a good year on tour (including the Watkins Glen festival in July), the entire band is in buoyant form.” —from Rolling Stone’s four-star review by David Fricke “The tone on every song played is perfect, they have that 70s sweetness…this could be the best set of shows in their history, and I’m a big fan who has seen my share of shows.”—fan comment When the Grateful Dead played San Francisco’s Winterland Arena for three straight nights in November 1973, they triumphed with home court advantage during one of their most celebrated eras. Recorded November 9, 10, and 11, the trio of epic shows captured on WINTERLAND 1973 are among the finest and most legendary in the band’s vast tape vaults, according to Dead archivist David Lemieux. Housed in a deluxe archival box and presented in HDCD, the set contains a portfolio of 72 tracks mastered from the original two-track Master Tapes using an innovative process that delivers unprecedented sound quality.
