Welcome to the unique, enduring phenomenon of
the Grateful Dead in New York City, a mutual devotion,
forged in concert, that ran for nearly as long as the band itself
—from June 1, 1967, a free show in
Tompkins Square Park on the Lower East Side
(ahead of the band’s official, local bow at the Cafe Au Go Go),
to the Dead’s last Garden run, six nights
in October 1994…the Dead’s affinity for New York City…
was instant and arguably their most profound with
any city aside from San Francisco.” - David Fricke
They got on the bus to the Port Authority,
rode in on the Long Island Railroad and the New Jersey Transit line.
They traveled North, South, and West on the 1, 2, and 3 subway lines,
their numbers growing as they descended upon Penn Station.
Some rolled up in those iconic New York yellows.
Some walked excitedly through the bright lights of
Broadway and Times Square, meeting up with old friends on the way
and picking up a few new ones too as they ascended The Garden's stairs.
Maybe you were among them - lightly buzzed on the way in,
fully aglow on the way home. New York City was
in its prime and damn if the Grateful Dead wasn't going to rise up to meet it!



If you were there, we call on you to
join us as we recapture that MSG magic
and if you weren't, we invite you along on the epic journey that is
IN AND OUT OF THE GARDEN: MADISON SQUARE GARDEN '81 '82 '83.
Numbered and limited to 12,500, this 17CD set celebrates
the band’s rich history at “the world’s most famous arena,”
introducing six previously unreleased shows recorded
at MSG between 1981 and 1983.
It offers a front-row seat to the Dead in the early 1980s,
an overlooked and underestimated era of rebirth for the band.
At the time of the recordings, the group featured
Brent Mydland. Mydland’s vocal power and
colorful keyboard palette energized the band,
invigorating older material like “The Wheel,” “Truckin’”
and “Eyes of The World.”
He also gave the band more musical flexibility,
which encouraged them to dust off rarely aired treasures
like “Dupree’s Diamond Blues” and “Crazy Fingers.”
IN AND OUT OF THE GARDEN touches on the three-year
period after 1980’s GO TO HEAVEN was released,
a time when the Dead were constantly on the road,
playing more than 200 dates.
While they were in no rush to return to the studio during this time,
they continued to write new music. In 1982 and ’83,
the band performed most of the songs
that would appear on 1987’s IN THE DARK.
The new collection includes performances of four songs from that album
– “Touch Of Grey,” “Hell In A Bucket,” “Throwing Stones,”
and “West L.A. Fadeaway” – plus the B-side, “My Brother Esau.”
Due September 23rd, IN AND OUT OF THE GARDEN
comes in a custom box featuring new artwork by Dave Van Patten
celebrating the band’s eclectic fanbase,
with a cavalcade of illustrated Dead Heads.
The collection also includes detailed liner notes
by award-winning music journalist David Fricke,
who explores the band’s connection to the Big Apple.
It features newly restored and speed-corrected audio
by Plangent Processes, mastered by Jeffrey Norman.
