XLIIs Legacy

XLIIs brings you curated collections of Grateful Dead bootlegs, each assembled by a different collector from around the world and focused on a different chapter of the band's history. New collections every three months. FOUR COLLECTIONS — SPRING 2026 Cornell and Company — 42 shows from 1977, the year some say the band was perfect. The Spring tour, the Fall tour, the December Winterland run. Garcia's warm tone, Keith's jazz voicings, Betty Cantor-Jackson behind the board. Six Hundred Four — 37 shows from 1974, when the Dead toured with the largest concert sound system ever built. Six hundred and four speakers, forty feet high, twenty-six thousand watts. The cleanest live sound in the history of rock music, from the most doomed PA system ever conceived. Young Bettys — 59 shows from 1969 to 1973. Betty Cantor-Jackson's earliest recordings, capturing the band in its most exploratory period. The sound is warm and immediate. You can hear the room. You can hear Garcia's fingers on the strings. New Animal — 33 shows from 1979 to 1980. Brent Mydland arrives with a Hammond B-3 and a rack of synthesizers, and the Dead are reborn. The Go to Heaven songs, the acoustic/electric Warfield and Radio City runs, the New Year's Eve shows at Oakland.
