Bob Dylan And The Grateful Dead - Dylan & The Dead

Dylan & The Dead is a collaborative live album by Bob Dylan and The Grateful Dead, originally released in February 1989 via Columbia Records.

The album consists of seven songs written and sung by Bob Dylan, with The Grateful Dead providing accompaniment.

The album was produced by Jerry Garcia and John Cutler.

Dylan & The Dead was recorded in 1987, during a successful stadium tour of the same name, which featured the two artists performing separately and together.

Songs from two of the Grateful Dead's performances from the tour are documented on the album and video View from the Vault IV, and one of the tour-rehearsal songs is on the album Postcards of the Hanging.

Though ultimately poorly received, the album initially sold well, reaching  #37 on the US Billboard 200 Albums charts and #38 in the UK, earning a Gold certification in the U.S.

Check out the tracks:   “Slow Train”; and “Gotta Serve Somebody”.
