    THE BEST OF THE GRATEFUL DEAD LIVE is the ultimate live collection, a two-disc set with recordings selected from the band’s official live albums on Warner Bros. and Arista, plus a few tracks from their many archival live releases, beginning with “St. Stephen” – from the group’s first official live album, 1969’s Live/Dead – and ending with the poignant “So Many Roads,” taken from the band’s final concert at Chicago’s Soldier Field in July of 1995

    “We wanted to follow up the 2015 The Best Of The Grateful Dead studio set with a live counterpart, and have focused our efforts on the band’s primary live albums as well as some key tracks from archival concert releases,” says band archivist and producer David Lemieux. “Just as there was nothing like a Grateful Dead concert, there is also nothing like a live Grateful Dead recording; it’s no secret that as good as the Dead’s studio recordings were, they excelled in front of an audience, and this set provides an overview of just how great the Dead were live in concert.”

    THE BEST OF THE GRATEFUL DEAD LIVE will also be available as Apple Lossless and HD FLAC digital downloads on release day.

    Re: Where Are Selections
    These are only Arista and Warner Bros albums. 'Stael You Face' was GD's own label, 'Without A Net' was Columbia.

    one more cup of best of
    the track list is very good but seems like yesterday papers. It just remains me the run of acoustic shows of october 1980. Multitracks recording,and the playing seems at the level of Europe 72 shows. Even with the not so widely choice of songs, it should diserve a little boxset with 2 or 3 shows of the Warfield and 2 or 3 from Radio City Hall? Thank you for putting whole this good musicof the vault in the daylight.

    Anthem 50th ?
    We have all been hopefully expecting a commemorative edition of Anthem to be released-along with a complete show from 1968,- but has there been any official indication that this might happen? I haven't seen anything. It would be a real wasted opportunity if nothing is released. The first album was okay, but Anthem was the classic. That was the one that got me into them in the first place.

    Anthem 50th
    Are there any rumblings about an Anthem of the Sun 50th anniversary release? Fingers crossed they treat us to something similar as last years Grateful Dead release with a nice vintage 67 or 68 show tacked on. I really have no interest in purchasing the album again, but I will if I can pick up 67-68 along with it!

    Anthem 50th
    The Grateful Dead 50th anniversary album was released in November 2016 four months before the 50th anniversary of it's original release. Anthem was released on July 18 1968 so if they release it four months prier to it's 50th that would be March 18th. Hoping that it is released with the February 2 1968 Crystal Ballroom - Portland, OR.

That’s the answer to your question. 35 shows from 87-92 have been released. And that doesn’t count the 9 from 87-95 in 30 Trips.
