Grateful Dead AUDience RECordings: those tapes Deadheads traded around for decades. This week's radio program features them. If you've never understood the fuss ("why do people say they're psychedelic? sounds like country rock to me!") or if you dig 'em to some extent but have never got far beyond the official albums, feast your ears on this!
Since there's not so many tracks, will put the playlist & links directly in this post. AVAILABLE FOR STREAM/DOWNLOAD ONLY TIL AUGUST 20.
