Workingman’s Dead 50, Episode 4: New Speedway Boogie

GOOD OL' GRATEFUL DEADCAST - A podcast by Grateful Dead - Thursdays

We explore “New Speedway Boogie,” the last song on Side 1 of the Grateful Dead’s Workingman’s Dead, examining how the song grew from the disastrous 1969 free festival at Altamont headlined by the Rolling Stones, and listen to never-heard session outtakes from “Mason’s Children.”
