Grateful Dead – Three From The Vault: Remastered (Limited Edition 4-LP Vinyl)
Product Details
The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester was one of the Dead's most cherished rooms in the early 70s, a tight, listening-room venue where the five-piece configuration played with a focused intensity that the larger arenas never quite captured. With Hart temporarily out of the picture, Kreutzmann held the rhythm anchor alone, and the band's 1971 performances reflected something leaner and more concentrated. Gastwirt's 2014 remaster finally does justice to those multi-track tapes on wax.
Limited quadruple vinyl LP pressing housed in a gatefold Stoughton "tip-on" jacket. From The Vault 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 was professionally recorded on multi-track tape and then mixed down (decades) later for release.
Recorded live at the Capitol Theatre (Port Chester, NY) in 1971, this is the worldwide vinyl debut release of this seminal show featuring the 5 piece line-up of Pigpen, Garcia, Weir, Lesh, and Kruetzmann (Mickey Hart had temporarily left the band at that point), freshly remastered in 2014 by Joe Gastwirt for your pleasure. 20 classic songs on eight sides of wax, this show has previously only been available on CD; this is the first-ever vinyl LP release!
