Three From the Vault

Description: Three From the Vault -- Readied in the early '90s (but not released until the summer of 2007) this multi-tracked document of a strong twenty-song, two-hour set by the Dead from February 1971 in Port Chester, NY brims with subtle pleasures and myriad rave-ups. The sound is immaculate throughout, thanks to the group's adoption of radical technology for the time. The band was at a creative peak at the start of '71; both Workingman's Dead and American Beauty had been released the previous year. There are a few points where the group seems a tad lead-footed, but this is understandable as second drummer Mickey Hart had left the previous day for a several year hiatus after it was discovered that his father had ripped off the group while acting as their manager. Overall, the band 's clearly moving towards a more mean and stripped-down sound. And the rocking numbers like "Bertha"--debuted at this gig, along with a handful of other numbers--do benefit from this. To top it all off, the songs sung by Ron "Pigpen" McKernan here are among the strongest the blues interpretations ever recorded. There are a lot of Dead shows out there, and some have historic value, while others just sound great in terms of the performance and fidelity. This show has the full trifecta; it's not to be missed by even the casual 'head. --Mike McGonigal Product Description Nothing quite defines the collective late 20th century pop culture music experience like an epic Grateful Dead concert. Now, a vintage classic Dead show from 1971 adds to this incredible canon with the release of Three From The Vault. The title is all the more extraordinary because it picks up on an ambitious series of superior sounding live releases remixed from the original multi-track master tapes that the band and their archivists launched in '91 with One From The Vault and Two From The Vault. The intent was to release Three immediately afterwards, but it was shelved until now, when it makes its official debut in astonishing HDCD sound.
