Product Description

Compiled from over 1,000 hours of tapes, The Golden Road presents remastered and (except for Live Dead ) EXPANDED versions of all their Warner Bros. albums, all with digipak packaging featuring additional 16-page booklets authored by everybody from Lenny Kaye to Owsley, plus a 2-CD set (one live, one studio) presenting unreleased performances from their pre-Warner Bros. days. An 80-page accompanies. The sum total: 8 CDs, over 15*1/2* hours of music, seven hours of unreleased material!

Considering the amount of posthumous product released since Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead's demise in 1995, perhaps a better name for the band would be the Living Dead. However, there is no denying the fact that the Dead's music--at various times thrilling, adventurous, simple, futuristic, old-fashioned, ethereal, abominable, ridiculous, and sublime--bears this kind of deep exploration. Rhino's 12-disc bonanza is the definitive look at the Dead's formative years, a fantastically creative nine-year period for Warner Bros. In 1965, they were a bunch of ex-folk and bluegrass musicians who were looking to jump on the rock bandwagon driven by the Beatles. The ensuing decade found them travel a sort of circular path that began with revved-up renditions of their folk and blues favorites. Then they maneuvered through intense, far-reaching, mind-blowing psychedelic experiments, settled into timeless stripped-down Americana, and ended atop a mountain where folk, blues, country, jazz, and psychedelic rock lived in near-perfect harmony.

All of the band's nine official Warner releases (five studio discs, four live) have been superbly remastered and buffed with extra tracks that include unheard studio jams and outtakes, plus contemporaneous live cuts. There's also two discs' worth (one studio, one live) of rare early material that predates their Warner Bros. debut. Each "album" comes in its own package with its own notes, while the box itself offers a 75-page booklet filled with thoughtful essays, personal reflections, and great photos. Clearly, Rhino has thrown down the gauntlet to Deadheads everywhere: they know you have most of this stuff in a variety of forms, but with the bounty of bonus tracks, the superior sound, and the wonderful packaging it's as if they're issuing a challenge not to buy this exquisite collection. --Marc Greilsamer

5.0 out of 5 stars Es Perfecto!!
Reviewed in Mexico on October 21, 2017
La denominada The Golden Road de esta Gran Banda Grateful Dead; desde las sesiones de estudio y en vivo del Birth of de Dead en edición doble de lujo y hasta sus 2 obras maestras Workingman's Dead y American Beauty y uno de los mejores albumes en vivo de la Historia como Live Dead. E maravilloso recopilatorio en vivo Skull & Roses, mis albums favoritos de esta gran banda en esta primera etapa 1965-1973 reunidos en una caja elegante. Los discos remasterizados en High Definition (HDCD) con sus booklets icluidos, y un libro aparte con la historia de estos años de la banda. Me encantó.
