content: This is the first Grateful Dead album and was released on March 17, 1967. This was right when the Grateful Dead started to play psychadelic music which would later be showcased in their acid rock masterpiece Anthem of the Sun a year later. I think this is a pretty underrated album and it is a good showcase, especially with a live version of their first open-ended jam song which would sow the seeds for Dark Star, Viola Lee Blues.Since this is very different from their later albums, it is very special and I would say it isn't a very good intro but if you are getting into the Dead, I say welcome friend.
