Grateful Dead - Workingman's Dead (2020 Remaster) [Full Album]

"This was, sort of, stepping out of our spacesuit and coming down to Earth and putting on a pair of Osh Kosh and digging the furrows ... we would have to bring the music in, to support the texts: Hunter's Holy Grail" - Mickey Hart

The three-CD set featuring the original album with newly remastered sound, plus an unreleased complete concert recorded on February 21, 1971 at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY.

The show was mixed from the 16-track analog master tapes by Jeffrey Norman at Bob Weir’s Marin County TRI Studios and mastered by Grammy® Award-winning engineer, David Glasser, along with restoration and speed correction by Plangent Processes.

A long time ago, when I thought the Dead were stupid, I became a baker. I came to the café to start rolling the dough for the breads and make the cinnamon rolls and pastries. Someone had left a cassette tape next to the little stereo on the counter, Workingman’s Dead on one side and American Beauty on the other. Reluctantly I put it on. I tell you the truth, I haven’t stopped singing along to these songs for 35 years. 🌹

My school bus driver turned me on to the Dead & NRPS in 1972. I was a sophomore in high school. He was about three years older than me and knew I smoked pot. We both played guitars so after school after everyone was dropped off we'd go to his apt, get stoned, play guitars and listen to tunes and jam. We're both still alive and best friends to this day 50 + years later

Dear you tube algorithm. Do not interrupt songs in the middle. Every good DJ plays the whole song before commercials. Also if a person puts on an hour long album likely they want to hear the whole album and not pause in the middle for no real reason Thanks

The Grateful Dead may be the most American of all American rock bands...blues, bluegrass, country and pop all melded together into this amazing stew of Americana.

[jasonbauer]

The Grateful Dead isn't just music to me. It's the soundtrack to my life. It's always on in my head.

[Tee-Jay-y]

Where does the time go? Indeed! Yesterday I was 17 listening to this album in my bedroom. Now I'm 52, listening to this album in my bedroom. 🙂
God damn, well I declare!

[Directorkey]

On one hand, I'm mad that I've been on this planet for 43 years and no one told me about this great album...on the other hand, I'm so happy that I discovered it today and can have it for the rest of my life!

[beatificdreams]

Such a bittersweet album to listen to now. So many good and kind memories. And so many people and friends lost over the years, so much aching from living the life. The memories of my family and friends live in these songs.

[JohnSmith-fqhj]

This is how you get non dead heads started on the dead. Both my parents and neighbors complimented on my fine choice of music, the look of shock on their faces when i revealed to them it was Grateful Dead was priceless lol.

[vuduball]

I heard this when I was 19. I had a job as a construction laborer and made enough for an apartment and later a car. I was very proud to be a working man and played this album over and over.

[GratefulZen]

“Ain’t no time to hate, barely time to wait.” Good ol’ Grateful Dead

[Steve-vykg]

I'm in tears. Doesn't this resonate with the soul especially now? Yes, yes indeed!

[sergeytoropin]

This is immaculate. This is it, that's the best studio Dead, in my opinion! As much I love live versions of these songs, this is untouchable. Happy birthday, Workingman's Dead, and let's celebrate it, my fellow heads! I'm from Russia, and I grew up on this album, and it was the first Dead experience in my life.

[gregdales]

I'm 71 and I still LOVE the DEAD...They just

.

[rodneyvaneck]

I'm 68 and still uncovering gems. The great bands didn't die, they just rode into the sky and kept on rockin'. Take me back to Yasgar's farm. Yeah!

[kevincaldwell]

The Album that drew me to them forever in '70 (at 14 yrs old). Now, looking back, the Bands music has become bookmarks in my life.

[filbertrocko]

43 years later i think this is their best work besides american beauty i listen to these two albums at least once a month and never get tired of THESE ABSOLUTELY REMARKABLE PIECES OF WORK!!! A dead head from philly pa

[davidsiracuse]

The Dead played such a major part in my life growing up. I miss those days. To this day the music still puts me in a different place.

[aspringwind]

If you ask me this was a genuine break through album. The Dead landed from the cosmos and put their feet on the earth, focusing on developing vocals and exploring their American Roots through the songwriting. And developing their studio production skills. A masterpiece on so many levels. For those of you who don't "like" the Dead give it a listen. Nothing else like it.
