The soundtrack of the concert film, The Grateful Dead Movie, will be released on vinyl in a definitive 10 LP box set.
In partnership with Rhino Records, Mondo is accepting pre-orders at MondoShop.com for the fully restored and remastered edition of the soundtrack.
Remastered by Grammy-winning engineer David Glasser, the audio reveals a fresh dimension in every performance and intimate moment that defined the band's live legacy.
"Widely considered one of the greatest runs of shows in the Grateful Dead's history, October 1974 at the Winterland featured inspired, exciting and out-of-this-world playing," states Grateful Dead Archivist David Lemieux. "Thankfully filmed for the Grateful Dead Movie, these five shows were the only 1974 performances recorded to 16-track analog tape. We're proud to partner with Mondo for a vinyl release that celebrates and preserves this essential document of the band's legacy."
The Grateful Dead Movie, released in 1977 and directed by Jerry Garcia, is a film that captures live performances from rock band the Grateful Dead during an October 1974 five-night run at Winterland in San Francisco.
These concerts marked the beginning of a hiatus, with the October 20, 1974, show billed as "The Last One." The band would return to touring in 1976.
Limited to 3,000 individually numbered units and priced at $450, the 10 LP set was cut to lacquer by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Studios and pressed at Optimal Media in Germany.
