Dylan & The Dead is much more than an album, it's a relationship. In this episode we talk to Dylan and Dead expert Harold Lepidus about all aspects of that history, the shows, the rehearsals, the inspiration, and the impact. This a part of our 'Five Worst Years' series looking at all sides of 1984-1988. Dylan first started spending time with The Dead in '87, rehearsing and then playing live shows - some of which resulted in the 1988 Dylan and The Dead album. ** The Extended Version of this Episode is 50 Minutes long and available to FM+ Subscribers ** ** Premium Members Get a Video Version ** Dylan & The Dead Links The Complete Studio Rehearsals (5+ Hours) YouTube Dylan & The Dead - Jerry's Version (Alt Live Album) YouTube July 4, 1987 LIVE Pro-Shot (Pt.1) (Pt.2) (Pt.3) (Full Show) Jul 12, 1987 LIVE Pro-Shot (Pt.1) Pt.2) (Pt.3) Jul 26, 1987 LIVE Pro-Shot (Pt.3) Postcards of the Hanging - Grateful Dead Cover Dylan (AppleMusic) (Spotify) Garcia Plays Dylan (AppleMusic) (Spotify) Harold Lepidus on Twitter Harold Lepidus Interviews Ray Padgett & Michael Gray EXTENDED EDITIONS To listen to the Extended and Bonus Episodes of our shows you can either: Subscribe to FM+ : Click the subscribe button in Apple Podcasts or sign up here.
