Grateful Dead - Fillmore West 1969 - The Compilation
Well, we can't all be lugging around 10-CD sets.
In an effort to provide the very best of the already-legendary and sold out Fillmore West 1969 Box Set in a convenient form (and with all the fine pictures and notes of the big box), Rhino and Grateful Dead Productions has issued this 3-CD "best-of" selection.
The package does not generally include the material that was later selected for Live/Dead since that's already available. Instead, the triple CD package gives you the hits: a 55 minute "Alligator > Caution" jam that is simply cosmic, the complete "We Bid You Goodnight" (the one on Live/Dead was cut!), and the deservedly famous Friday night "Dark Star > St. Stephen > The Eleven > Death Don't Have No Mercy" that could easily have been on the album. What a weekend!
