The legendary Bay Area rock superstars, the Grateful Dead, scored with a plethora of wonderful recordings throughout their incredible career that encompassed nearly four decades. Their concert tours were of legendary proportions, and during the late eighties, a whole new audience was discovering their magic thanks to their hugely successful In the Dark and Built to Last albums. This success brought the band back out on the road for several more tours, and the "Spring 1990" performances are some of the finest ever in their long history.

Always known for being on top of the audiophile medium, the Dead would record a lot of their shows over the years with state-of-the-art equipment. This particular tour was no exception, as longtime producer John Cutler recorded a number of shows during this much-touted tour era and, together with Dead archivist David Lemieux, compiled the long awaited Spring 1990 - So Glad You Made It album.

Friday Music is very pleased to announce the amazing 180-gram audiophile 4LP box set of the Grateful Dead's Spring 1990 - So Glad You Made It. This super limited edition Dead treasure trove highlights selections from five of their finest shows from this legendary tour.
