Grateful Dead - Wake Of The Flood: The Angel's Share (2023) [FLAC]

The previously unreleased, never-before-heard, Grateful Dead session tapes for Wake Of The Flood.

Recorded August 6 -17, 1973 at Record Plant, 2200 Bridgeway, Sausalito, CA
Today, in continued celebration of Wake Of The Flood's 50th Anniversary, the Grateful Dead vaults have been reopened to reveal a treasure trove of studio material that Dead Heads have never heard before. For the third edition of The Angel's Share series, more than two hours of expertly-curated, previously-unreleased session tapes are now available via Rhino, for the first time ever on all DSPs worldwide. 

Similar to previous installments that accompanied milestone reissues of Workingman's Dead and American Beauty, Wake Of The Flood: The Angel's Share brings together the outtakes, alternate versions, and in-studio conversations behind the creation of the album, including "Eyes Of The World," "Stella Blue," "Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo" and every other song on the LP. Some unexpected moments and revelations are found in takes of "Let Me Sing Your Blues Away," Keith Godchaux's first and only vocal on a Grateful Dead studio record, and Bobby Weir's continually evolving "Weather Report Suite." Also featured is the track "Phil's Song (Unbroken Chain)" that appeared later on The Mars Hotel. As the lid is lifted and the curtains are pulled back on a pivotal record – filled with classics that remain instant crowd-pleasers to this day – Wake Of The Flood: The Angel's Share transports the listener to August 6-17, 1973 at Sausalito, CA's Record Plant, turning it into a fly-on-the-wall experience of the band's joyous and collaborative process.
