Hello. For your consideration is this brand new factory sealed Grateful Dead Winterland 5/30/71 vinyl set. This is a Black Friday Record Store Day release from 2012. This limited edition (7500 copies) vinyl set is the only medium on which this show is officially available. No release on cd for this incredible concert, and it sounds amazing!?

The last 4 photos show the front and back of each corner. Please check split photo 11, to see the very small separation in the cellophane on that corner. It is split along the perforated edge (it is the type of lp cellophane that has one edge that tears off along a perforation). Please check all of those last four photo slots to see any minor bumps on any corners. This set is new and sealed. I have included info from deadnet and the track lists below. This is another must have piece of a fantastic early live Grateful Dead concert from May 30, 1971 at the Winterland in San Francisco. Awesome!

Please do not hesitate to send an offer, I may accept it...the worst I can do is deny it, but if it appears you are serious, and I do not accept your first offer, I will send a counteroffer, and from there I’m sure we can figure out a deal that works for us both. If there is a mistake on my end, not only will there be a no hassle return, but I will refund your entire payment, and pay for return shipping.

Please look at all the photos of the actual item for sale. Please ask any questions you may have, I will get back to you asap. I will package this safely and securely, and I will ship it for free using media mail with tracking. There will also be a priority shipping option available at the buyers expense. To choose this other option, just click on shipping options during checkout and choose whichever method you prefer. I will ship within 24 hours of completed payment during open post office business days. Even same day, if purchase is completed before my postal person has stopped by for the day...usually around 10:30 am west coast time. Please checkout my other listings for more Grateful Dead and related treasures. Thank you.

From deadnet:

The Grateful Dead made Winterland its home for years until 1978, when the band closed Bill Graham’s legendary venue for good with a spectacular New Year’s Eve blow out. The friendly confines of the former ice-skating rink always seemed to bring out something special in the band. That’s certainly true of the group’s May 30, 1971 performance, which was the second night of a homestand during the era later immortalized on the 1971 live collection Skull and Roses.

For Record Store Day’s Black Friday event on November 23, Dead.net and Rhino will release a portion of that show (all that the band has in their vault) for the first time, offering it on 180-gram vinyl as a limited edition double-LP set of 7500 copies.

Sourced from the original reels of ¼” tape, the music was mastered by Jeffrey Norman and the vinyl lacquers were cut by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering and then pressed at RTI. Grammy®-winning graphic artist Masaki Koike evokes the Skull and Roses album cover for this set’s gorgeous gatefold.

It’s over one hour of Dead classics that covers nearly the entire second set, which was packed with crowd pleasers like “Sugar Magnolia,” “Truckin’” and “Deal.” One entire LP side is dedicated exclusively to “Turn On Your Lovelight,” a 15-minute-plus romp led by singer/organist Ron “Pigpen” McKernan. For its encore, the band – Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann, and McKernan – capped the evening off with raucous “Johnny B. Goode.”
