Grateful Dead Celebrates 50th Anniversary with Remastered 'Steal Your Face' Vinyl Release
Grateful Dead is set to release a 50th-anniversary remaster of their live album Steal Your Face on June 26. The band has already shared a remastered version of their cover of Johnny Cash's "Big River" as a preview of the upcoming release. This remastered edition will be available on vinyl in the band's signature Pantone colors: Grateful Red and Stealie Blue, with a unique black splatter design.
The original Steal Your Face album was recorded during a five-show series at Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco in October 1974. These performances marked a significant moment for the band as they took a break following the concerts. The album was released in June 1976, coinciding with the band's return to touring after their hiatus. This remastered edition holds historical significance for the band and their fans.
Fans can enjoy the remastered tracks not only on vinyl but also through streaming services and digital downloads. The physical presentation of the vinyl adds a special touch to the listening experience, with the colors and design reflecting the band's iconic style. Preorders for the remastered anniversary edition are currently open, allowing fans to secure their copy of this special release.
