Recording
In September and October 1980, the Grateful Dead played a series of concerts that had one set of acoustic music followed by two sets of electric music. The tour included 15 shows at the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco, two shows at the
Saenger Performing Arts Center in New Orleans, and eight shows at
Radio City Music Hall in New York City. The following year they released two live double albums recorded at these concerts – Reckoning, with all acoustic songs, and Dead Set, with all electric songs – as well as a video called Dead Ahead.
