Live with Ruben Blades
August 2, 1989

The Grateful Dead were the iconic American, rock, psychadelic country jam fusion band. Sometimes it is healthy to recall that there are a few Dead tunes with quite a bit of Latin flair. Mexicali blues and Weather Report Suite come to mind. But have you ever heard Jerry hit the note at a temperature that is, well, muy caliente? Check out this rare gem from 1989, a year that many fans would agree showcased some of Jerry’s best playing in his later years with the Dead. –Tripp Demoss
