The legendary Bay Area rock superstars Grateful Dead scored with a plethora of wonderful recordings throughout their incredible career that encompassed four decades. Their concerts were of legendary proportions, and during their mammoth breakthrough years of the late sixties, a whole new audience was discovering their magic thanks to their inspiring concerts and musical acumen. As a new touring season began, the Dead celebrated with a very appreciative New York City audience at the Fillmore East. This masterful performance went on to become one of the most revered ever in their long concert history.

Always known for being on top of the audiophile medium, the Dead would record a lot of their shows over the years with state of the art equipment. This particular show was of no exception as longtime Dead member/producer Phil Lesh and producer John Cutler teamed up with the definitive Dead archivist David Lemeiux and compiled the much celebrated Fillmore East 2-11-69.

Friday Music is very pleased to announce the exclusive 180-gram audiophile 3LP deluxe set of the Grateful Dead's Fillmore East 2-11-69. This amazing limited edition treasure trove features tunes from these historic concerts, both early and late shows.

Many favorite Grateful Dead classics and superior rarities abound in this lengthy limited edition audiophile dream set including "St. Stephen," "Dupree's Diamond Blues" and the superior jam of the Bobby Blue Bland classic "Turn On Your Lovelight."

Known for their lengthy jams, solid live masterpieces get their due on this amazing set like brilliant versions of "Dark Star," "The Other One," and "The Eleven."

As an added super rare treat, a tip of the hat to The Beatles is preserved in the audiophile domain with their fine interpretation of "Hey Jude," as well as a pair of masterful blues classics with "King Bee" and "Good Morning Little School Girl."
