Grateful Dead – The Music Never Stopped (Live 180g, 6LP - Anniversary Edition)
The Grateful Dead – The Music Never Stopped [6LP Box Set] is a sprawling, four-hour celebration of the band’s legendary live legacy. Pressed across six LPs, this limited edition box set is a handpicked journey through 25 years of iconic performances, drawing from the Dead’s most hallowed stages—from the Fillmores to Red Rocks to Madison Square Garden.
Curated from the Enjoying the Ride box set, each track here is a sonic postcard from a different show. You’ll hear beloved anthems like “Truckin’,” “Eyes of the World,” and “Scarlet Begonias,” alongside deep-cut gems like “Big Boy Pete,” “My Brother Esau,” and the playful “Doin’ That Rag.”
Meticulously recorded by legendary engineers including Dan Healy, Owsley Stanley, and Betty Cantor-Jackson, and mastered by Jeffrey Norman, this set delivers impeccable sound. With artwork by Justin Helton and Once Upon A Time, it’s a visual and auditory feast. A must-have for any serious Deadhead—because with this set, the music truly never stops.
