( GDP ) - DECD 298 : Brand New !! : Ultra-Rare !!!!!

The Ultra-Rare !!! Grateful Dead " Dead Ahead Bonus Songs ! " Bonus Disc CD !! released Pre/Early-Order ' Only ! ' with the 2005 " Dead Ahead " DVD Remaster + Bonus Footage release !!!!!

Dead Fans !!! ... and as it goes without saying -- '80's Dead Fans !!!!!  Because here offered is an Ultra-Rare ! & Stellar !! " Bonus Disc " CD offering Rare / Previously-Unreleased Tracks ( 5-Tracks ! ) from the Legendary ! October 1980 Radio City Music Hall run in New York City !!!  Obviously, this period being the ' mouth ' of the Amazing " Brent-Era " - and the birth ( 1st year ! ) of " The '80's " ... well, we all knew that we would most likely be in for a Very-Special treat when this one was released - way back in 2005 !  Wow, how time does fly ...  Many/most fans have seen the " Dead Ahead " Video in one form, or another over the years - but in 2005, it was re-released/remastered, had Bonus Footage added, etc.. - in truly all of it's glory !  Just an amazing project, at least in my opinion - as all of the pieces of the puzzle were already there ( Thankfully ! ) for this to be done well -- and as you've probably seen yourself ... Real ! Well.  Just about perfect multi-angle, pro-shot footage, and state of the art analog-recorded sound -- as I believe the Masters of the Audio were on Cassette ?  I think so indeed, but would have to check on that to be 100% certain it wasn't reel-to-reel - either way, it's superb.  Kind of like the ' other ' big 2005 release - " Fillmore West : The Complete Recordings " ... both of these shows were recorded audio-wise, as perfectly as Humanly, and Deadheadedly possible !  Deadheadedly ... nice word !  As I think I just made that one up !  I'd hate to take the credit ... but not sure I've heard that ' term ' before.  I like it, I like it !  But ... Yes ! - the main difference with Radio City ( being '80 ), and Fillmore West ( being '69 ) - was that Radio City was Filmed !!!  Thank goodness ...  G.D. had the budget, I suppose - or maybe Bill ! made it happen ... but most importantly, it did happen.  Gotta love it.  So ... with this Amazing ! " Bonus Disc CD " - you get the Five Audio Tracks ( 5-Tracks ! ) from the ' Bonus Footage ' of the 10/30/80 Radio City Music Hall Show, and for all serious audiophiles - and of course for collectors of the Rarest ! & Grate-est ! of Grateful Dead releases ... this one is a no-brainer - you know, one of those " Must-Haves " !  It's a shame this whole 10/30/80 Night couldn't be released in entirety -- because the Boys sure are ' On-it ' !!!  Phil's Energy is just Awesome ! throughout tons of this October '80 run, and I'm not just talkin' about the N.Y.C. gigs - as that also goes for the Warfield & New Orleans runs !  And Bobby, and that Ovation ?  Whoa !  That's just a match made in Heaven ! ... Heaven Help The Fool !!!  Ahh ... and as for Brent ! - the early-days, and the tones are just settling-in - nicely ... all throughout, you can feel his energy & affect on the band.  B.K. & Mick ?  Keeping-the-time like Madmen !!!  Both ! Electric & Acoustic for these runs ... beautiful.  And Garcia ?  tasty-Tasty ! work on that Mu-Tron envelope filter - just a fabulous sign of the times, and his fret board-attacks can be full of love, and/or vicious, raw, and just flat-out mean !  Garcia does what he wants in this period.  And unlike most-other Fans ?  I truly-believe this Era in the Late-'70's / Early-'80's was the beginning stages of him becoming all he could be as a Guitar Player !!  Sure, he played for ' himself ' a little more in the Early-'80's ... but, anyone who is a guitarist will tell you ( if they are being honest ) ... hey, what's wrong with that ?  The only difference is - this guy is the King of Rock ' Roll !!! ... and in this magical period - Fall Tour '80 ? ... he's seriously Blossoming !!  Just magical-stuff, at least to this humble Dead Fan's ears.  So here the ' typed-version ', of this here Magic ... Heaven Help The Fool - Shakedown Street > Samson And Delilah - He's Gone > Truckin' !!!!!  Enjoy this one, fellow Dead Fans - and share it with your Dead Friends too ! ... as it's pretty-likely they don't have this G.D. Toy in their Treasure Chest either !!  " Nothin's Shakin' On Shakedown Street " !!!!!!!
