Grateful Dead - Ripple - 10/31/80 - Radio City Music Hall (OFFICIAL)

I am not a Deadhead, so don't start asking me which or how many of their concerts I've been to. I was just in the mood to post this.

I'm trying to pick up playing the acoustic guitar, and these chords seem accessible. Also, it doesn't require the vocal range of "Uncle John's Band," which seems to have the range of "The Star Spangled Banner."

I hope you enjoy this.

And that sound and the words seem to represent the Dead to me more that anything.
