Grateful Dead – Fillmore West, San Francisco, Ca 3/2/1969 (5LP) (RSD)

The fourth night of the famed Fillmore West run that produced the bulk of Live/Dead is an exceptional example-going back more than 54 years-as to why you never miss a Sunday show. Opening (!!) with what would later be known as the Live/Dead suite, 3/2/69 demonstrates the Dead had not only NOT run out of steam after three magnificent shows, in many ways they surpassed the previous nights' wildly powerful music. When your first set is the entire Live/Dead suite, what do you for a second set? Simple! You play for more than an hour and half, making sure everyone goes home way too late, but unimaginably happy.
