Grateful Dead - 1969-01-25 - San Francisco, CA (SBD)

1960s - #4: Every now & then here at So Many Roads, wee like to bring you some Grateful Dead from 1969, a year in which the band closed out the "Psychedelic 60's" with live music that embodied everything that nickname symbolized, and then some. This show from January 25, 1969, a half century ago today, is one of the precursors to the legendary Fillmore shows in February 1969 that spawned the album Live Dead. an album that critic Robert Christgau rated an A+, writing that "side two of this four-sided set contains the finest rock improvisation ever recorded, and the rest is gently transcendent as usual. Beautifully recorded, too." The entire Fillmore run was later released as a 10 CD box set entitled Fillmore West 1969: The Complete Recordings. So this soundboard gives you a good look at a band building toward some of the peak performances of their career!
