Description:
A beautifully intimate live release, Grateful Dead – Reckoning captures the band stripping things back for a series of acoustic performances recorded in 1980. Featuring heartfelt renditions of fan favourites like “Dire Wolf,” “Ripple,” “Monkey and the Engineer,” and “Bird Song,” the album highlights the Dead’s rich harmonies, warm acoustic interplay and deep roots in folk and Americana traditions.
Unlike their sprawling electric jams, Reckoning offers a more reflective, storyteller side of the band — relaxed, organic and full of emotional charm. This copy has been carefully inspected and graded to ensure clean, reliable playback across all sides, making it a must-have for Deadheads and collectors of acoustic live sessions.
