Album of the Day

Hot on the heels of the incredible success of WORKINGMAN'S DEAD in the summer of 1970, the Grateful Dead returned in the fall with the equally stunning AMERICAN BEAUTY. Recorded at Wally Heider Studios in San Francisco with producer Stephen Quinn Barncard, the collection features some of the band's most iconic songs, including “Friend Of The Devil,” “Sugar Magnolia,” “Truckin’” and “Ripple.” Now available, the three-CD set AMERICAN BEAUTY: 50th ANNIVERSARY DELUXE EDITION includes the original album with newly remastered audio, plus an unreleased concert recorded on February 18, 1971 at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY, one of the most requested archival recordings in the Dead’s vault.
