CD / Box Set
Description
'From the Mars Hotel (50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)' includes the Dead's nearly complete, previously unreleased show from May 12, 1974, at the University of Nevada in Reno, playing an outdoor football stadium during a huge wind storm. The classic performance features all of the highs you expect from the Grateful Dead at this time: a huge 'China Cat Sunflower' > 'I Know You Rider', 'From the Mars Hotel' tunes including 'U.S. Blues' an 'Ship of Fools', a second set jam featuring one of those versions of 'The Other One', and plenty of classic Dead such as 'Brown-Eyed Women', 'Tennessee Jed', 'Mississippi Half-Step', 'Truckin'', 'Sugar Magnolia', and so many more great songs from their entire career. This is prime Wall of Sound-era Grateful Dead, from the sound system's first-ever road show. Coming on the heels of the Dead's two months in the studio recording 'Mars Hotel', it was an exceptionally exciting time in Grateful Dead world, even by their lofty standards.
