The Grateful Dead's fourth title was likewise their first extended concert recording.
Spread over two LPs, Live/Dead (1969) finally was able to relay the intrinsic sonic magnificence
of a Dead show in real time. Additionally, it unleashed several key entries into their repertoire,
including the sidelong epic and Deadhead anthem"Dark Star" as well as wailing and otherwise
electrified acidic covers of the Rev. Gary Davis blues standard "Death Don't Have No Mercy"
and the R&B rave-up "(Turn on Your) Lovelight." Finally, the conundrum of how to bring
a lengthy performance experience to the listener has been solved. The album's four
sides provided the palette from which to replicate the natural ebb and flow of a typical
Dead set circa early 1969. Tomes have been written about the profound impact of "Dark Star"
on the Dead and their audience. It also became a cultural touchstone signifying that rock music
was becoming increasingly experimental by casting aside the once-accepted demands
of the short, self-contained pop song. This version was recorded on February 27, 1969,
at the Fillmore West and is presented pretty much the way it went down at the show...(AllMusic)
