With the FROM THE MARS HOTEL (50TH ANNIVERSARY DELUXE EDITION) 3CD set and high-definition download, we're going to give you the best of both roads. First, the straight path of the original release, primed to pristine condition with newly remastered audio by GRAMMY®️ Award-winning engineer David Glasser, Plangent Processes tape restoration and speed correction. Then we'll diverge to the road less traveled where the real adventure begins with demos of "China Doll" and "Wave That Flag" – the song that became "U.S. Blues" – as well as a previously unreleased live performance of the Grateful Dead at University of Nevada-Reno on 5/12/1974. This one features epic highs from a huge "China Cat Sunflower" > "I Know You Rider," to fresh MARS HOTEL cuts to classics such as "Brown-Eyed Women," "Tennessee Jed," "Mississippi Half-Step," "Truckin'," "Sugar Magnolia," all amplified to the nth degree by the dizzying Wall of Sound. Grab your map, your compass, your astral guide, and follow us to the June 21st finish line!
