If there’s one annual event that fans of The Grateful Dead miss most since the demise of the band, it’s the New Years Eve celebrations the group would hold every year at the Oakland Coliseum. The last of these was held in 1991, but generally the finest NYE gig is considered to be their splendid 1987 show, one that was also networked on Television and Radio for the entire country to enjoy.
This 2 CD Set contains this full Radio Broadcast from 1987, and features a set that includes such Dead classics as Sugar Magnolia, Uncle John’s Band and Terrapin Station, alongside tracks from the band’s then just released ‘In The Dark’ album, like Hell In A Bucket and When Push Comes To Shove.
The 14 track NYE set is complimented by no fewer than 8 bonus cuts from TV appearances on shows broadcast in the 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s.
All captured in perfect stereo sound and featuring deluxe packaging, this CD collection will prove a real delight for the Deadhead in all of us.
