'An aphorism, properly stamped and molded, has not been "deciphered" when it has simply been read; rather one has then to begin its interpretation, for which is required an art of interpretation.' -- Nietzsche, 'On the Genealogy of Morals'

Grateful Dead: Closing of Winterland « Previous | |Next »
January 19, 2012

The Closing of Winterland is a 4 CD live album of the Grateful Dead's New Year's Eve show 1978. The concert was also released as a 2 disc DVD. The title derives from the fact that it was the last concert in San Francisco's Winterland Arena, which was shut down shortly thereafter in 1979.

It marks the marks the closing of a historic San Francisco music landmark. The Dead celebrated the Closing as an approximately five hour long party (complete with breakfast with the audience at dawn) and invited some guests

The set list itself was intriguing from the unusual opening salvo of Sugar Magnolia, Scarlet Begonias, and Fire on the Mountain to the third set’s stratospheric cruise through such notable fan favorites as Dark Star, The Other One, Wharf Rat, St. Stephen, and Good Lovin’.

The ensemble’s original 24-track analog master tapes from this event have been mastered digitally and synched with the original video footage shot for a public television broadcast in order to form the basis for The Closing of Winterland DVD.

This is set 3. It's better music than Set 1which tended to go downhill after the opening sequence.

This DVD is the only multi-track video project that exists from the ’70s and the two-DVD collection is an audio-visual time capsule of musical history.
