Workingman’s Dead – The Grateful Dead [CD]

Fourth studio album by the American rock band. The album and its studio follow-up, ‘American Beauty’, were recorded back-to-back using a similar style, eschewing the psychedelic experimentation of previous albums in favour of Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter’s Americana-styled songcraft. This 3CD set includes the original album with a remastered sound, plus an unreleased concert recorded on February 21, 1971 at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY. The show was mixed from the 16-track analog master tapes by Jeffrey Norman at Bob Weir’s Marin County TRI Studios and mastered by Grammy Award-winning engineer, David Glasser.
