when did “althea” become one of the most popular grateful dead songs? it’s not on a major album or any of the greatest hits, not one of the 50 most played according to jerrybase. yet it has 20 million more streams on spotify than “sugar magnolia.” what gives? is it a john mayer thing?

I just noticed that Love & Rockets'second most streamed song on Spotify after "So Alive" isn't "No New Tale To Tell", "Ball Of Confusion", or "All In My Mind", but a B-Side from the "Kundalini Express" single called "Holiday On The Moon". Anybody know where it got it's popularity from ?

Not sure. It was covered by that guy from Tool in his band Puscifer though.

I wonder what's caused this surge for Got My Mind Sey on You Those kids and their TikToks? Funny how George now rules the roost for both Beatles and post-Beatles work https://x.com/beatlesspotify/status/1788743397454250087?s=46

It was featured in the "Fishes" episode of The Bear last year (the episode everyone talked about) so may have snowballed from there?
