Enjoy "An Evening with the Grateful Dead" with these two sets from their final Fillmore East performance of 1970. They kicked off the night with one of the most remarkable acoustic performances of the band's career, which features guests David Grisman and David Nelson on mandolin, some uncharacteristically tight vocal harmonies, and even a song with Jerry Garcia on piano! The electric portion of the evening includes some of their most beloved tracks when they were fresh, a few fantastic rarities, and stratospheric jams. All in all, it's a great representation of the band around their Workingman's Dead and American Beauty era.

Since the very first Newport Jazz Festival, George Wein loved to mix and match musicians on stage for unique jam sessions, and three new sets recorded in 1974 at Radio City Music Hall showcase that tradition at its best. The Mingus Midnight Jam featured an interesting mash-up of horns and violin held together, in part, by Charles Mingus; the Drum Extravaganza featured four of the best ever as Elvin Jones, Buddy Rich, Max Roach, and Art Blakey took turns dazzling the audience; and a Clark Terry All-Stars set saw some jazz veterans exploring their mutual interests in bebop, blues, and ballads.
On a west coast stop during their early 2011 tour, New Jersey-based sextet Railroad Earth stopped by the Vault for an ol' timey session. Singing of America's changing landscape and social ills set to a mix of rock, jam band, celtic-tinged bluegrass, and Americana stylings, the band's concerts are imbued with fire-in-the-belly passion and storytelling.
