Grateful Dead - The Music Never Stopped (6LP Box Set)

"Narrowing down the Grateful Dead's touring career and live performances to 60 CDs, 20 venues, and more than 450 songs is hard enough. Narrowing THAT down for 3CD and 6LP sets is a monumental undertaking, but with so much great music to select from, it's one of the most enjoyable compilations we've ever assembled. This nearly four hour collection contains one song (or two, or three...) from every show in the Dead's new road tripping boxed set, Enjoying the Ride, which brings together music from 20 (21...) of the most essential venues in Grateful Dead and Dead Head history. This compilation is crafted with songs spanning the 25 years in the boxed set, 1969-1994. Drawn from such iconic venues as Red Rocks, Frost Amphitheatre, Greek Theatre, Fillmores East and West, Madison Square Garden, Alpine Valley, and many more, The Music Never Stopped features such classics as 'Truckin',' 'Eyes of the World,' 'Scarlet Begonias,' the title track, and plenty of under the radar tracks like 'Big Boy Pete,' 'My Brother Esau,' and 'Doin' That Rag.' This is a career-defining live collection filled with some of the greatest tracks performed at their greatest venues." - David Lemieux
