The Best of the Grateful Dead

The Ultimate Gateway to the Grateful Dead featuring 2-CDs of the band's most iconic studio recordings.

The collection's 32 tracks feature music from every Grateful Dead studio album and cover the key waypoints on the band's mystical musical journey. Arranged chronologically, the tracks reflect the evolution of the group's sound and its membership across more than two decades from 1967's The Golden Road (To Unlimited Devotion) to 1989's Standing on the Moon. In between, listeners will find the essential tracks that made the band such a cultural phenomenon, including such fan favorites as St. Stephen, Casey Jones, Sugar Magnolia, Friend of the Devil, Scarlet Begonias, and Hell In a Bucket.
