Grateful Dead
featuring Donna Jean Godchaux - live mix from 1976-79 highlights


Donna gets a bum rap. Had she joined the band in 1976 and departed in 1979 Deadheads would have waxed nostalgic about the time the Grateful Dead had a female background singer. This live mix imagines such a legacy.

I have created this live mix in the same style/format as "Mtx'ing through the 80s" so if you liked that one you'll probably
like this one as well.

Once again, I suggest not looking at the track list before listening. Allow yourself to be surprised, as there are so few pleasant surprises in life.

Note to the moderators: To my knowledge, none of the tracks in this mix have been commercially released. As a resource, I used the "Grateful Dead releases by recording date," which looks to be the most complete and accurate account of commercially released GD and can be found here: http://www.deaddisc.com/GDFD_Dead_By_Date.htm
