Live/Dead captures the Grateful Dead in their wildest psychedelic form, a 1969 live album recorded in San Francisco and presented here as a single CD edition.
Before this release, studio albums had struggled to contain what the band did on stage, where songs could stretch, mutate and drift into the unknown. Recorded at shows in early 1969, Live/Dead was the first Grateful Dead album to truly catch that spirit, with the band playing as a single, shape-shifting organism.
Dark Star is the heart of it, more than twenty minutes of slow-blooming improvisation, Jerry Garcia's guitar weaving through Phil Lesh's melodic bass lines as the music drifts further and further out. It flows through St. Stephen into The Eleven, a tricky, propulsive jam in an unusual eleven-beat time. Turn On Your Love Light flips the mood completely, with Ron McKernan, better known as Pigpen, leading a long, sweaty, call-and-response soul workout.
Death Don't Have No Mercy then brings the tempo down for a mournful slow blues, before the set fades out in feedback and a hushed a cappella farewell.
It is a snapshot of the late-1960s San Francisco scene at its most adventurous. For anyone curious about why the Dead's concerts became legendary, this is where the evidence starts.
