Playlist Central

So you wanna be a Deadhead? Well, here's where you start: 30 tracks from 30 different volumes of the legendary Dick's Picks series. Oh, the madness! Yes, studio albums are cool and all, but to be a true fanatic you have to soak in the live recordings, especially those collected by Dick Latvala, the Grateful Dead's most famous and revered archivist. Our playlist, in the words of Vincent Gallo, "spans time," from the psychedelic jazz-fusion of the mid '70s to the Bruce Hornsby years.
