Show by GD Sleep Strories
Tonight, the stories behind all eight songs on Workingman's Dead, the cheap, quick record the Grateful Dead made after Aoxomoxoa left them deep in debt. A Hammond organ on High Time you have never heard, Dire Wolf written the morning after The Hound of the Baskervilles, Black Peter and the dosed apple juice at the Fillmore West, Pigpen's Easy Wind, the Casey Dope tape box, a manager who emptied the band's accounts while they recorded, and the two nights of tape the faithful love most. A long, calm story for a long night.
