Yeah, the Dead (They may have been the Warlocks then) were very much involved with Ken Kesey. They were more or less the house band during the Acid Tests.


Can't say I really got that deep into the Dead except for the two 1970 albums, Workingman's Dead and American Beauty. Those two albums are incredible.

They are. Though I was never quite into Workingman’s Dead that much.

If you haven’t checked out their other stuff, and you might be interested then listen to

1. Jack Straw - 1972 Paris version (the Copenhagen one from the same tour is great as well, but slightly faster)

2. China Cat Sunflower - also 1972

3. Help on the Way - either the album version or the live 77 from the Dick’s Picks series, they’re pretty similar, though on the studio version the vocals are more up front

4. Row Jimmy - from the Cornell University Concert

5. Dancing in the Street - a great cover, also from Cornell

6. Bird Song - 1972 Veneta, Oregon (that’s a solo Garcia song, but they included it to their live sets ever since the release)

And then go from there




„Estimated Prophet” from Cornell is amazing too
