Drawing from live shows recorded three years earlier by Bear at the Fillmore East in New York City, Bear's Choice captures the Dead at an essential moment of their history, as they were about to record Workingman's Dead (and shortly thereafter, American Beauty), and were transitioning into becoming Americana pioneers, while never losing touch with their psychedelic improvisational roots. Three of the eight songs on the album are sung by Pigpen, with Side 1 being the definitive example of early Acoustic Dead, and Side 2 being electric blues and rock \u0026amp; roll, with Pigpen leading the charge on both tracks on the second side. This has been re-mastered by David Glasser using Plangent Processes from the original analog 2-track tapes recorded live by Bear and has never sounded better.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ui-tabs ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-all\" id=\"aec-musictabs\"\u003e\n\u003cul role=\"tablist\" class=\"ui-tabs-nav ui-helper-reset ui-helper-clearfix ui-widget-header ui-corner-all\"\u003e\n\u003cli aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-selected=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"MusicTracks\" aria-controls=\"mt-1\" role=\"tab\" class=\"ui-state-default ui-corner-top ui-tabs-active ui-state-active\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-selected=\"false\" aria-labelledby=\"MusicCredits\" aria-controls=\"mt-2\" role=\"tab\" class=\"ui-state-default ui-corner-top\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-hidden=\"false\" role=\"tabpanel\" class=\"ui-tabs-panel ui-widget-content ui-corner-bottom\" aria-labelledby=\"MusicTracks\" id=\"mt-1\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"tracksonly\" id=\"aec-jukebox\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"jp-playlist tracksonly\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"discnum\"\u003e- Side 1 -\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e Katie Mae (Live at the Fillmore East, San Francisco, Ca 2\/13\/70)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e2\u003c\/span\u003e Dark Hollow (Live at the Fillmore East, San Francisco, Ca 2\/14\/70)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e3\u003c\/span\u003e I've Been All Around This World (Live at the Fillmore East, San Francisco, Ca 2\/14\/70)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e4\u003c\/span\u003e Wake Up Little Susie (Live at the Fillmore East, San Francisco, Ca 2\/13\/70)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e5\u003c\/span\u003e Black Peter (Live at the Fillmore East, San Francisco, Ca 2\/13\/70)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"discnum\"\u003e- Side 2 -\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e Smokestack Lightnin' (Live at the Fillmore East, San Francisco, Ca 2\/13\/70)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e2\u003c\/span\u003e Hard to Handle (Live at the Fillmore East, San Francisco, Ca 2\/14\/70)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57419413160280,"sku":null,"price":5.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/8324\/6424\/files\/grateful-dead-history-of-the-grateful-dead-vol-1-bears-choice-live-50th-anniversary-edition-new-vinyl-lp-176964.jpg?v=1780391710","url":"https:\/\/ateliervinyls.com\/products\/grateful-dead-history-of-the-grateful-dead-vol-1-bears-choice-live-50th-anniversary-edition-new-vinyl-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
