Ultimate Classic Rock
They played better shows, and they found new, more exciting ways to spread out the songs onstage. But they never sounded more together than they do on this record.

Live Dead explains why the Dead are one of the best performing bands in America, why their music touches on ground that most other groups don’t even know exists.

Live/Dead (1969) finally was able to relay the intrinsic sonic magnificence of a Dead show in real time. Additionally, it unleashed several key entries into their repertoire, including the sidelong epic and Deadhead anthem"Dark Star" as well as wailing and otherwise electrified acidic covers of the Rev. Gary Davis blues standard "Death Don't Have No Mercy" and the R&B rave-up "(Turn on Your) Lovelight."

This album is really a landmark in music. There was really nothing before similar to it and it introduced the world to a band that could be solely based on Jamming and improvisation at their concerts. I would really reccommend this album to newcomers of The Dead and long time fans alike.
