What happens when the world’s two leading bands carrying the torch of the Jerry Garcia Band experience unite into one unstoppable force?

The classic is finally here! And we've spit-shined and polished it to perfection with newly remastered audio and a previously unreleased concert, to boot. The three-CD set features all the glory of the original AMERICAN BEAUTY studio album and the complete 2/18/71 show from the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY.

That the Grateful Dead’s music has remained a source of joy and inspiration for an ever-growing audience now 25 years after the passing of Jerry Garcia is simply one of life’s modern mysteries.  But the endurance of the band’s Rex Foundation, still making charitable grants and effecting change—that’s a miracle.  The band was its sole source of income, but in the years since Garcia, other bands, along with Dead Heads themselves, have stepped forward to celebrate and suppor
