Grateful Dead - where next?

[Henry Tompkins (Pete)]

I do like tie dye style art, but I tend to agree with Jules.   It's not exactly Kelley/Mouse, or Rick Griffin standard, sadly!!

The back cover is better than the front - I'll certainly concede that..

Rare vinyl release anyone?

I'd be interested, but I suspect the price will be prohibitive. The last Black friday rlease by the Dead was, iirc, a one disc recording of 'Dark Star', going out @ the £35-40 mark. Thanks for flagging it up, all the same.

Its coming out on CD too.

More new about what Phil means when he says he's hanging up his touring boots.  Glad to know he'll still be playing a lot more dates than many artists who still tour do

Freebird is out there as well if you're feeling brave!  

The Weight from Halloween is rather special...

Have you guys seen this? Animated Jerry Garcia interview (as in cartoons, although he is fairly animated).

Just got around to burning & listening to this year's "30 Days of Dead" & what I've heard so far it's another excellent & eclectic selection.
