Grateful Dead bola americká rocková skupina založená v roku 1965 v kalifornskom Palo Alto, preslávená eklektickým štýlom spájajúcim prvky rocku, folku, country, jazzu, bluegrassu, blues a psychedelie. Známa predovšetkým svojimi dlhými improvizáciami počas živých vystúpení a oddanou fanúšikovskou základňou známou ako „Deadheads“, skupina je považovaná za priekopníkov jam bandovej scény. V roku 1994 bola Grateful Dead uvedená do Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, v roku 2007 získala Grammy za celoživotný prínos.
Album Wembley Empire Pool, London, England 4/8/72 na piatich vinyloch zachytáva koncert skupiny z 8. apríla 1972 v londýnskom Wembley Empire Pool. Vydané bolo v rámci Record Store Day 2022 v limitovanej sérii 10 000 kópií, pričom všetok materiál prešiel remasteringom v roku 2022. Nahrávka prináša vyše tri hodiny hudby vrátane klasických skladieb ako Playing in the Band, Truckin', viac ako tridsaťminútovú Dark Star či Sugar Magnolia, a dokumentuje charakteristickú energiu a improvizačnú silu kapely v jej vrcholnom období sedemdesiatych rokov.
