55 of years of ‘Skull and Roses’ 💀🌹
Recorded during the Dead’s Fillmore East, Hammerstein Ballroom, and Winterland Ballroom stops in early 1971, this album was originally titled ‘Skull Fuck,” which the band’s label ultimately rejected. So, it was renamed, ‘Grateful Dead’, more commonly referred to as ‘Skull and Roses’ and features Stanley Mouse’s ‘Bertha’ artwork from their Avalon Ballroom run in September 1966. From “Wharf Rat,” to “Playing In The Band,” and “The Other One,” which track are you revisiting today?
