As if their repertoire wasn't tall enough to reach the endless sky, the band began adding new tunes to their sets in 1992, working them into "quintessential Grateful Dead romps," with the intention of a new studio album. By the mid-90s, they set out recording with the wisdom of Willie Dixon's blues, Neil Young's fuzzed-out guitar, newcomer Vince Welnick's tried-and-true sketches, and Bobby reunited with Robert Hunter on a duo that had quickly become fan-favorites. Alas, it was not meant to be. Until now.
We proudly present READY OR NOT, nine unreleased live versions of late-period Grateful Dead songs that debuted in 1992 and 1993, a reflection of what could have been the band's next official studio album.

Spuuglelijke cover - al spant
Grateful Dead - Go to Heaven (1980) nog steeds de kroon als je het mij vraagt - maar wel een interessante toevoeging in het oeuvre van de Dead. Het meest recente dat ik van de band in huis heb is het Bill Graham Memorial concert in San Francisco op 3 november 1991 (Fare Thee Well in 2015 niet meegerekend dan) dus mijn interesse is gewekt in ieder geval.
De Seaside Chat van David Lemieux is als gewoonlijk wel weer een lekkere opwarmer:
