VIA MusicTap:
Grateful Dead have always had their peculiar fans. Fans that would go to any length to see as many shows as they could when the band toured. Fans that would – and still do – buy any set of live Grateful Dead shows regardless of whether the show was legendary – and many were – or not. If it’s the Dead, then it deserves to be heard. And let’s not forget the many landmark and important Grateful Dead videos that have circulated over the years. There’s The Grateful Dead Movie, The Closing of Winterland, So Far, and the several volumes of View From The Vault.
On April 17, Shout! Factory, in collaboration with Rhino Records, will release a massive collection of Grateful Dead film, over 38 hours of official footage, within one 14DVD Box that will add in bonus material, and a 40-page booklet with new notes, photos, and other cool Dead goodies that should have Dead fans everywhere reaching for the bong in anticipation.
