Since seeing Dead and Co. in Colorado last month, the Grateful Dead have been in heavy rotation since. Perfect summer music.
Since we are now in what Dead Head’s call “The Days Between” (the days between Garcia‘s birthday and the date of his passing), if you’ve never listened, I think their run from ’70 to ’72 is perfect from the initiated.
Starting with their first great record, Workingman’s Dead and the even better American Beauty, arguably their two best studio albums, they followed up with two classic live albums, Grateful Dead and Europe ’72.
Patio hall of famers and the perfect introduction to the band.
