THE GRATEFUL DEAD
Workingman’s Dead
1973 Canada reissue

I’m not really too wild about the Grateful Dead.
There’s really only two studio albums of theirs I actually like, & this is one of them.
Although I have LOTS of problems with a LOT of their music, I will fully admit this is one of the greatest Americana records ever.
Great harmonies, with an uncommon kind of overall texture.

Do not attempt to engage me in any further Dead discussion. 😂

🎧 Full disclosure: As much as I go on about loving music and the memories it brings, I've only ever heard 2 songs by , start to finish.

"Truckin'" which no one could actually avoid hearing, and "A Touch of Grey" in the late 80s—on the radio.

And I've never eaten "Jerry Garcia" ice cream either.

Does this make me un-American? 🤷‍♂️

This was the Dylan and the Dead show in Oakland in July 1987. I was there, of course, with Bruce Fishbein, I think! And lots of my Bay Area Deadhead friends were there, too. Jerry mixes up the order of the second and third verses of “Friend of the Devil”. I can identify – I often start the third verse when I should start the second! And that messes up the story!

@bourgwick I love Graeme Boone discussing the fine details of the 1973 Kiel Dark Star on the Deadcast. He talks about how giving the jams names is a bit strange for such open music, and I immediately thought, “What shall we say, shall we call it by a name?”

Day 15b: A song you like that's a cover by another artist

"Me and My Uncle" - (1971/72; released 1976)

Up next: forget and , this here's the best version going of this iconic folk song that creepy ol' John Phillips apparently couldn't even remember writing. Dig those world-building studio sound effects!

I’ve gone around the sun more times than the were a band, but I’ve never woke up to the sound of street cats making love.
