SHIPS IN A STURDY ALBUM MAILER WITH ADDTIONAL PADDING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE SLEEVE AND REINFORCED CORNERS!

This volume presents one of the most famous stands of shows in the band's long history of touring, the 2/13/70-2/14/70 shows at the Fillmore East in New York. Just how good were the three sets that comprised each show? Well, when LSD chemist and band benefactor Owsley Stanley produced the official release History of the Grateful Dead, Vol. 1 (Bear's Choice), he lifted portions of each night's first set and acoustic second set in assembling that record, yet there was enough (very) strong material left over to make Dick's Picks Vol. 4 one of the greatest live albums in the Grateful Dead catalog. The biggest gem of the entire set—and some might say the crown jewel of the entire series—is the now legendary rendition of "Dark Star," but there really isn't a weak song on the album, and a rare live rendition of "Mason's Children" even gives this one a collector kick. When Bob Weir says as he steps up to the mike at the beginning of disc one, "This ain't a show, it's a party," he ain't kidding—if you're not on the bus yet, this one will save a seat for you.

While Dick's Picks Vol. 4 has been out on vinyl before, we've given this edition our usual sonic upgrade, starting with a fresh mastering by Jeffrey Norman (in his words, "This is definitely worth doing") that beefs up the bottom end of this sparkling recording. Lacquers are, as always, cut by Clint Holley and Dave Polster at Well Made Music, and our friends at Gotta Groove Records have pressed the 6-LP set on 180-gram black vinyl. The two-piece hardcover box includes an insert with Bear's original liner notes. We've limited this to 3500 hand-numbered copies, and, unlike our previous Grateful Dead vinyl releases, this one is not slated to go to retail in the foreseeable future.

Test pressings on this one were absolutely stellar…we are excited to share this set with you!
