Those bastards at Dead.net want all my money

The third installment in our new Road Trips series features smokin' tracks from the summer tour of 1971, including highlights from shows in New Haven and Chicago.

Road Trips Vol. 1 No. 3 includes...

- Two full CD's, lovingly compiled and painstakingly mastered (in HDCD) by Jeffrey Norman

- A booklet boasting scads of great photos and an essay by Dead scholar Blair Jackson

- As always, early orders of Road Trips will also include a special limited-edition Bonus Disc with additional music from the Summer '71 tour. This one features the legendary, consensus-best-ever version of "Hard to Handle" from 8/6/71, as well as a rare recording of a show at Terminal Island Correctional Facility in Santa Ana, California (where sound guru Owsley "Bear" Stanley was incarcerated at the time).

I have a peculiar weakness for '71 dead ... Skullfuck, Ladies & Gentlemen, Houseboat Tapes, love 'em all. Great to finally have Yale Bowl out, even if only in part.

This should be delicious.

This is a great release for anyone who may be on the fence. I'm still not sure about the sbd version of the ULTIMATE Hard To Handle from 8/6/71 on the bonus disc. It is missing that electricity from the audience. I'll post both versions here later tonight and you can compare.

In the meantime, you can listen to a bunch of the cuts from this release here:
