Beyond Description is the second twelve-CD boxed set retrospect of the Grateful Dead's studio and live albums. It covers their time with Grateful Dead Records and Arista Records from 1973 to 1989.
This compilation includes expanded and remastered versions of all the albums during the brief period with their own label (except for Steal Your Face), and during their time on contract with Arista Records (except for the last two live albums). Also included are numerous studio outtakes and live tracks. The albums included are Wake of the Flood, From the Mars Hotel, Blues for Allah, Terrapin Station, Shakedown Street, Go to Heaven, In the Dark and Built to Last as well as the two live albums Reckoning and Dead Set, both expanded to a 2 CD set. Promotional posters at the time advertised this set as "The Long-Anticipated Companion to The Golden Road (1965-1973) Boxed Set".
