During the Grateful Dead’s legendary 30-year run, the band often visited its northern neighbours in Portland, Seattle, and less-than-often Vancouver.

Coliseum, Vancouver, B.C. (6/22/73); Portland Memorial Coliseum, Portland, OR (6/24/73); P.N.E. Coliseum, Vancouver, Canada (5/17/74); Portland Memorial Coliseum, Portland, OR (5/19/74); and Hec Edmundson Pavilion, University of Washington, Seattle, WA (5/21/74).

During the period when the shows were recorded, the Grateful Dead included: Jerry Garcia, Donna Jean Godchaux, Keith Godchaux, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh and Bob Weir. The recordings of the 1973 shows were made just a few months before the band released its sixth studio album, Wake of the Flood, which was its first without founding member Ron “Pigpen” McKernan, who died in March 1973, and the first on their new Grateful Dead Records label. The 1974 shows were recorded just a few weeks before the band released its seventh studio album, From The Mars Hotel. Each show was mastered in HDCD from the original master tapes by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering. The transfers from the masters were transferred and restored by Plangent Processes, further ensuring that this is the best, most authentic that these shows have ever sounded.


METAL ALLEGIANCE - Volume II: Power Drunk Majesty - 2LP €25.99 (Nuclear Blast)

An adrenaline-soaked, thrash-worshipping, groove-driven, diverse, yet more sharply focused effort than its no-less-impressive predecessor, the mere existence and urgent brilliance of VOLUME II: POWER DRUNK MAJESTY silences any doubt as to the band’s earnest intention, purposeful resolve, and resilient dedication to all things heavy metal.

VOLUME II: POWER DRUNK MAJESTY presents a cohesive vision, a straight-ahead almost throwback thrash attack that’s still grooving and modern. “With both albums we got together to see what would happen and in both situations, we surprised ourselves,” says guitarist/cofounder ALEX SKOLNICK. “On the first album, we were like kids in a candy store. It’s a diverse record, which is great. On this one, we went for a more unified sound, and with fewer guests

On VOLUME II: POWER DRUNK MAJESTY, the core membership is once again strengthened by a small army of friends, an eclectic mix of metal legends, visionaries, and firebrands. Vocalists include: TREVOR STRNAD (THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER), JOHN BUSH (ARMORED SAINT), BOBBY “BLITZ” ELLSWORTH (OVERKILL), MARK TORNILLO (ACCEPT), JOHAN HEGG (AMON AMARTH), MAX CAVALERA (SOULFLY), and FLOOR JANSEN (NIGHTWISH).

PAUL McCARTNEY - Egypt Station - Deluxe 2 x LP € (Virgin/EMI)

Sharing a title with one of Paul’s own paintings, 'Egypt Station' is the first full album of all-new McCartney music since 2013’s chart-topping 'New'. Preceded by two of its tracks just released as double A-sides--plaintive ballad 'I Don’t Know' and raucous stomper 'Come On To Me'—Egypt Station was recorded between Los Angeles, London and Sussex, and produced (with the exception of one Ryan Tedder track) by Greg Kurstin (Adele, Beck, Foo Fighters). Egypt Station’s 14 songs combine to convey a unique travelogue vibe. Between the opening and closing instrumentals 'Station I' and 'Station II' each song finds Paul capturing a place or moment before transporting the listener seamlessly to the next destination. The result is a kaleidoscopic journey through myriad musical locales and eras, yet firmly rooted in the here and now--with Paul’s singular unmistakable melodic and lyrical sensibility serving as a guide.
