About
The reputation that the Dead would eventually acquire as mellow roots-rockers is nowhere in sight on their 1967 debut album. They emerged as a frenetic, visceral garage band, with early tunes from their jug-band days like "Beat It On Down the Line" getting a jumpy jolt, replete with peppy organ and fuzzy lead guitar. But a foreshadowing change of pace arrives with the folky "Morning Dew," which sees the band digging into the kind of slow-burning jam that would come to define their sound.

The Grateful Dead's second live album, released October 24, 1971. Although the eponymous album was published without a title, it is generally referred to as 'Skull and Roses' due to the iconic cover art by Alton Kelley. The band originally wanted to call the album 'Skull Fuck', but not surprisingly, Warner Brothers objected. The album became the first Dead record to be certified gold by the RIAA.
