Nan Zieleniec Collection of Grateful Dead Audio

1970-1974, undated

0.42 (Linear feet)

The Grateful Dead were the most important band of the psychedelic era and among the most groundbreaking acts in rock and roll history. The Grateful Dead and their peers on the San Francisco scene--notably Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Big Brother and the Holding Company, and Country Joe and the Fish--raised the consciousness of the rock audience, leading them to an enhanced vision of music in which albums were more important than singles and concerts became marathon exercises in risk-taking.

The Nan Zieleniec Collection of Grateful Dead Audio consists of twelve 1/4-inch reel-to-reel audio tapes of live Dead performances that took place in the United States from 1970 to 1974. The audio tapes also appear to contain cuts from a Duane Allman anthology, Bonnie Raitt, and Loggins and Messina, as well as live performances by the New Riders of the Purple Sage and the Flying Burrito Brothers. Please note there are sometimes discrepancies between content as listed on the box for the recording versus the interior or included insert; therefore, we have included all descriptions available. The tapes are arranged in the order received.
