<\/div>\n

The Grateful Dead<\/a> will reissue their classic album, Workingman\u2019s Dead<\/em>, for its 50th anniversary, with the CD deluxe edition boasting a previously unreleased concert recording. That set, and a vinyl version of the reissue, will arrive July 10th.<\/p>\n

Both the CD and vinyl reissues will boast a newly remastered version of Workingman\u2019s Dead<\/em>, and the vinyl release will be printed on a picture disc limited to 10,000 copies. Only the CD release, however, will include the Dead\u2019s February 21st, 1971 concert at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York. The setlist boasts several songs from Workingman\u2019s Dead<\/em> \u2014 including a rendition of \u201cCasey Jones\u201d that\u2019s available to hear now \u2014 as well as a few from the band\u2019s follow-up, American Beauty<\/em>, which arrived a few months later in November 1970.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor an album as important and great as Workingman\u2019s Dead<\/em>, it seemed appropriate to double the amount of bonus material,\u201d Grateful Dead archivist and producer David Lemieux said. \u201cThe show we\u2019ve selected gives a definitive overview of what the band were up to six months after the release of the album and shows the Dead sound that would largely define the next couple of years. From Workingman\u2019s Dead<\/em> through Europe \u201972<\/em>, the Dead\u2019s sound was Americana, and the live show included here is a workingman\u2019s band playing authentically honest music.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Capitol Theatre show was mixed from the 16-track analog master tapes by Jeffrey Norman at Bob Weir\u2019s Tri Studios, while David Glasser mastered the recordings. Critic David Fricke penned the liner notes for the set and called the Capitol Theatre show \u201ca great night in what has long been deemed a legendary run, another turning point as the band entered a live era combining the focus of Workingman\u2019s Dead<\/em> and American Beauty<\/em> with the exploratory verve of Live\/Dead<\/em>. Many of the classic songs spread across Dead LPs in 1971 and \u201972\u2026 were introduced that week at the Capitol, and many of them are in this concert, still fresh off the griddle.\u201d<\/p>\n
