Grateful Dead - Winterland June 1977 Box Set (10-CD)
1977 achieved legendary status in Dead lore as the "Year of the Roses", when the band's music reached a peak of sophistication and improvisational depth. June performances at Winterland would capture the band at this moment of creative confidence.
10-CD box set comes with the complete 6/7/77, 6/8/77, 6/9/77, and bonus disc of 5/12/77 from Chicago, IL. Includes softcover booklet, Grateful Dead movie pin, Grateful Dead promo movie postcard, and 6" x 5.5" x 1.5" hardshell box.
1977 Dead shows developed through the night in ways that require 10+ CDs to properly document. The band's tendency toward longer first sets and increasingly ambitious second sets meant that a single show could run two or more hours.
A Winterland 1977 box set becomes a comprehensive study of the band during one of its most celebrated years.
