Grateful Dead Blues For Allah (50th Anniversary Remaster) InchTo celebrate the 50th Anniversary of The Grateful Dead's ambitious 1975 album Blues For Allah, we have produced what we feel is the most eclectic 50thanniversary reissue since this series began in 2017. The 3-disc special features the original album on Disc 1, remastered by David Glasser at Airshow Mastering, with tape restoration and speed correction by Plangent Processes. On Disc 2, we have nearly 45 minutes of nearly-live material from August 12, 1975 at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, the soundcheck the day before the Dead's famous show at the venue on August 13, 1975, all mixed from the 16-track analog masters. Additionally, we have included the full Blues For Allah suite from the March 23, 1975 SNACK Benefit at Kezar Stadium, where the Dead played their first of four 1975 shows by debuting one of their most wild pieces of music they'd ever composed. Disc 3 features 75 minutes of live material recorded in June 1976 at the Tower Theatre in Upper Darby, PA, on the Dead's first tour after the of Blues For Allah. Album Tracks 1.
