Grateful Dead - Reckoning (2LP)
Experience the legendary sound of the Grateful Dead like never before with "Reckoning," a mesmerizing double LP showcasing the band live and unplugged. This sixth live album from the Dead was originally released in April 1981 and features live recordings from iconic performances at the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco and Radio City Music Hall in New York, captured between September and October 1980.
"Reckoning" serves as the acoustic counterpart to the Dead's electrifying live album "Dead Set," also released in 1981. The sheer volume of exceptional material from the 1980 concerts led the band to realize that one double LP would not suffice, thus leading to the release of both "Reckoning" and "Dead Set." Jerry Garcia remarked on the surplus of quality content, stating, "The idea of just one acoustic and one electric record was sort of pathetic."
This must-have album features an array of beloved tracks, including "Dire Wolf," "China Doll," "Bird Song," and many more, capturing the essence of the Grateful Dead's unique sound in an intimate, stripped-down setting. The luscious sound of vinyl brings an added depth to these live recordings, providing an immersive experience for any fan of rock music.
With a classic rock genre and a release date of 7/5/2024, "Reckoning" on 2LP vinyl is a timeless addition to any music collection. Don't miss out on this iconic album from the Grateful Dead, a true gem for fans and music enthusiasts alike.
