Yeah, I'm a Wilco fan but that performance feels pretty unnecessary.

I really like Courtney Barnett's New Speedway Boogie. It strays stylistically from the Dead's just enough to lean into her strengths, while maintaining the swagger of the original.

BPB's Reuben and Cherise is the primary track from this I ever go back to. Such a damn beautiful song.

FP’d you for “mems”

although on zing “Callahan” is just above “Baobab” and for half a second I thought Bob Balaban was on this

Part of me just appreciates this for being a 5.5 hour Dead tribute album, just for the sheer amount of work it must have taken to make this happen and put it together, way beyond anything called for and therefore seemingly a labor of love.

Thanks for that link, now totally obsessed with that version of Terrapin, what a treat!
