Notes


Quite possibly the worst album by either Bob Dylan or the Grateful Dead, the live Dylan and the Dead completely squanders its promise. Working from an intriguing selection of songs — it includes staples like "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" and more obscure gems like "Joey" — the Dead and Dylan contribute listless, meandering versions that are simply boring. Both artists have done much better — reportedly they have done better together, according to various bootleg fans — but Dylan and the Dead is a sad, disheartening document.
