Steal Your Face (2LP)

Celebrate the 50th anniversary of Grateful Dead's "Steal Your Face" 2-LP live album! This elusive classic has been brilliantly remastered by GRAMMY® Award-winning engineer David Glasser, making it hands down the best sounding version of the record ever released. The audio isn’t the only upgrade here. Arguably the Dead’s most recognizable album cover is also getting a fresh coat of paint! The colors of the iconic “Steal Your Face” logo featured on the cover art have been updated from their original red & blue hues to the newly established, official Pantone* colors “Grateful Red” & "Stealie Blue”. Produced for release by Grateful Dead audio archivist & legacy manager, David Lemieux. "Between the historically important and musically brilliant runs of shows that comprised the Europe '72 tour and the Fall 1980 acoustic/electric extravagansas, the only live Grateful Dead music officially released drawn from between those years was Steal Your Face. Recorded during just as creatively spectacular a period as those 1972 and 1980 runs of shows, Steal Your Face was recorded to 16-track tape between October 16 and 20, 1974, at Winterland in San Francisco. Recorded as both a document of what might have been the Grateful Dead's final run of shows (there was serious chatter) and as the audio component of wat would become the Grateful Dead Movie, the album was mixed by Phil Lesh and Owsley "Bear" Stanley. Although lacking in larger jam sequences, the four sides more than make up for that with terrific live renditions of many of the songs that were staples of the Dead's live repertoire at the time, none of which had ever been released on a live Dead album."
