Description
This is the Grateful Dead LP "Shakedown Stree"on Arista Records (ALS-8228). These records come from a Texas music manager of many years who has decided to sell his vast and varied vinyl and poster collection. A once in a lifetime chance. The Grateful Dead were an American rock band formed in 1965 in Palo Alto, California.[1][2] Ranging from quintet to septet, the band was known for its unique and eclectic style, which fused elements of country, folk,bluegrass, blues, reggae, rock, improvisational jazz, psychedelia, space rock,[3][4] for live performances of lengthy instrumental jams,[5][6] and for their devoted fan base, known as "Deadheads". "Their music," writesLenny Kaye, "touches on ground that most other groups don't even know exists."[7] These various influences were distilled into a diverse and psychedelic whole that made the Grateful Dead "the pioneering Godfathers of the jam band world".[8] The band was ranked 57th in the issue The Greatest Artists of all Time by Rolling Stonemagazine.[9] The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994[10] and their Barton Hall Concert at Cornell University (May 8, 1977) was added to the Library of Congress's National Recording Registry.[11] The Grateful Dead have sold more than 35 million albums worldwide.
