Grateful Dead earned the band’s first-ever gold record in 1971 with its self-titled Live album. Known to many fans as ‘Skull & Roses’ (a reference to the cover art by Alton Kelly and Stanley Mouse) the original double-LP included songs recorded in March and April 1971 in New York and, the band’s hometown, San Francisco.

Grateful Dead celebrates its 50th anniversary during 2021 with a newly remastered and expanded version of the original.

The set also includes a bonus disc with 10 previously unreleased live tracks that were recorded on July 2, 1971 at the Fillmore West, which was the band’s final performance at the historic San Francisco venue. The music will also be available in both standard and high-resolution 192/24 audio at digital download and streaming services.
