Limited Edition
Grateful Dead (Skull & Roses) [2LP Yellow] Vinyl
The Grateful Dead’s iconic live album Grateful Dead—affectionately known as Skull & Roses—gets a sunshine-bright makeover in this limited edition 2LP set on yellow vinyl. Originally released in 1971, this double LP was the band’s second official live album and remains one of the most beloved snapshots of their early-'70s magic.
From the first riff of Bertha to the closing harmonies of Goin’ Down the Road Feeling Bad, this album is pure Dead energy, recorded during their 1971 spring tour. It perfectly captures the band’s signature blend of Americana, psychedelia, and extended improvisation. The version of Playing in the Band here is tighter but no less hypnotic, while Wharf Rat delivers a haunting, emotionally rich performance that lingers long after the needle lifts.
What makes Skull & Roses legendary is how it redefines the live album format. With tracks like Me and My Uncle, Mama Tried, and that jam-heavy The Other One, it feels like you're front row at a show—complete with all the twists, turns, and mind-melting solos that Deadheads live for.
Pressed on vibrant yellow vinyl, this edition is both a visual stunner and a sonic treasure. Whether you're a collector or a curious newcomer, this is a must-have piece of Grateful Dead history—bold, beautiful, and built to be played loud.
