Vault Releases:
The New Grateful Dead release series: Road Trips.
From the GD website.
" Here's the deal: We all loved the Dicks Picks series. Over
the course of 36 amazing releases between 1993 and 2005, GD
archivists Dick Latvala (R.I.P.) and David Lemieux continually blew
our little minds plucking one righteous show after another from the
vaults.
With Road Trips we're going to try something a little different. We
want to plug in a few more pieces of the Grateful Dead puzzle by
putting the spotlight on different tours and series of shows that
have been neglected through the years.
Also, every Road Trips release will come with a
beautifully designed booklet containing an essay about how the music
on the discs fits into the Dead's long history, plus many rare and
never-before-seen photographs."
We think you'll agree it's a pretty cool package.

Mark's vocals are clear, commanding, and powerful, while his guitar playing is effortless, melodic and
expressive...
