 | | While the Dead were never radio "staples," somehow the classic tunes of Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, and Robert Hunter have become engraved in people's minds. |
 | | Workingman's Dead featured the classic numbers, such as "Uncle John's Band," "Dire Wolf," and the late-night, one more toke please "Casey Jones." Gone are the rambling, goofy jams of the past, replaced with shorter, sharper songs that sound more organic than before. |
 | | From the opening Phil Lesh/Hunter moment "Box Of Rain" to the closing "Truckin'," this is a work of genius. |
