Fillmore East: April 1971
: :This four-disc set documents the Dead's monumental five-night final run at New York's Fillmore East in April 1971. Coming from the same period as the live Skull and Roses album, it finds the band at its most sinewy--without second drummer Mickey Hart and without much in the way of Pigpen's keyboard work. What stands out here, beyond the intense, emotionally charged yet somewhat playful performances, is the strength and diversity of the repertoire. In addition to the plethora of newer originals, we hear a number of Pigpen's beloved blues shouters: 'Next Time You ...

All Killer, No Filler: The Anthology
: :Elvis may have been the King, but there's no doubt who reigned as the dark prince of rock & roll. Jerry Lee Lewis--a.k.a. the Killer--burst on the scene in 1957, taking no prisoners with his (as it was called) 'pumping' piano and his lust-laden style on such Sun Records classics as 'Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On,' 'Breathless,' and 'Great Balls of Fire.' This 42-track double CD collection includes all of them, but also features both midperiod Lewis (early '60s tracks such as 'Money'), and, most significantly, his latter hits as a country star ...

Live With a Little Help From Our Friends
: :Gov't Mule's arsenal of endless jams that somehow perpetually build in intensity make it natural that this Southern power trio has so quickly returned to the live-record format. The Mule's second concert recording in four years is as virile as the title is impotent. Recorded in Atlanta on New Year's Eve, 1998, this four-disc collector's edition will please fans who weren't satiated by the original 145-minute two-CD set. With a Little Help serves as a road map through their array of influences, as the band wends its way through Black Sabbath, Humble Pie, ...

Shades 1968-1998
: :Deep Purple were grander than grand, with a sound that was kept huge by the band's avoidance of then-popular thematic explorations. They stayed the loud-and-hard course, as evidenced by this lavish four-CD box. A photo-rich booklet accompanies a host of early cover singles ('Kentucky Woman' and 'River Deep-Mountain High' among them), a couple of demos ('Shadows,' 'Love Help Me'), and some belated 1980s and '90s cash-ins on the band's popularity in Japan. But, of course, the meat of this set is heaped on the first three CDs, each of which holds blasting rockers ...
