Rhino continues its series of 50th anniversary reissues for Grateful Dead with the band's 1971 self-titled live album with the famous "Skull and Roses" cover.  The centerpiece of the reissue is more than hour of previously unreleased music from another famed SF venue, Bill Graham's Fillmore West, recorded on July 2, 1971 during the Dead's final show at the Fillmore West.  Highlights include "Good Lovin'," "Sing Me Back Home," "Mama Tried," and a closing medley of "Not Fade Away" and "Goin' Down the Road Feelin' Bad."  The reissue is available as a 2CD set with the Fillmore material on CD 2, or on vinyl with the original album only.  The album has been remastered from the original analog tapes by David Glasser using the Plangent Process.
