Fare Thee Well (The Best of)

• Track Listing

"Emotional" isn’t a big enough word. It was a positively profound experience for Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann, Mickey Hart and Bob Weir—as well as the tens of thousands of fortunate fans in attendance—when the Grateful Dead gave their last performance at Soldier Field in Chicago on July 5, 2015. Taking place nearly 20 years to the day after the band’s final concert with Jerry Garcia (which was also, of course, at Soldier Field), this historic night can be yours now on DVD, Blu-Ray and CD. Whether or not you scored a ticket, you’ll treasure having this to look back to—starting with Trey Anastasio taking the lead vocal on the show opener, "China Cat Sunflower," which leads right to "I Know You Rider" and "Estimated Prophet." Bruce Hornsby takes the reins on a stellar version of "Built to Last," and then Weir, Hart, Kreutzmann and Lesh take charge on "Samson & Delilah" and "Mountains of the Moon." "Truckin’," "Cassidy" and an Anastasio-led "Althea" begin set two, before a crowd-thrilling "Terrapin Station" gives way to "Drums," "Space" and another fan favorite, "Unbroken Chain." Emotions run deep in "Days Between," then a rollicking "Not Fade Away" leads the screaming fans to the encore: the band’s biggest hit, "Touch of Grey" and the beautiful end of the night, and the Dead’s concert career, "Attics of My Life." Experience the experience one more time, on the 2-CD "best-of" or the multi-disc complete-show sets! Rhino.
