"Uncle John's Band" is a song by the #GratefulDead that first appeared in their concert setlists in late 1969. The band recorded it for their 1970 album #WorkingmansDead. Written by guitarist #JerryGarcia and lyricist #RobertHunter, "Uncle John's Band" presents the Dead in an acoustic and musically concise mode, with #closeHarmony singing.

Workingman’s Dead

Think this through with me ... The Dead release their 4th album on June 14, 1970. It's #409 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time and is a must (Along with its companion, American Beauty) in any collection. Listen to Workingman's Dead by Grateful Dead on Amazon Music ... #TheGratefulDead #Workingmansdead #70srock #countryrock #folkrock #jerrygarcia #bobweir #roberthunter #rootsrock #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky

Perhaps the only example of a hyphenated Grate-ful Dead on rec? Certainly, the only time this title morphed into "The" Working-man's Dead.

“#FriendOfTheDevil (Live 1980)” by the #GratefulDead

NOTE: This is an example of how live Dead can be way superior to album recordings (#WorkingmansDead). This slowed-down version is so gorgeous! It gives Jerry time to stretch out for great effect.

@bourgwick I finally started listening to the Good Ol’ Grateful Deadcast (from the beginning), and the discussion of “Workingman’s Dead” reminded me of how I came across a reference to the album in Denise Levertov’s poem “Staying Alive”. I wrote about it here: https://andrewjshields.blogspot.com/2021/06/denise-levertov-dancing-to-workingmans.html
