Grateful Dead

On September 4, 1983, the Grateful Dead performed at the Park West Ski Resort in Park City, Utah, during a period marked by the band's resurgence in popularity after the release of their album "In the Dark" in 1987. However, prior to this performance, the band's discography included "Go to Heaven," released in 1980, which was characterized by a more polished sound and produced the accessible hit "Alabama Getaway." By 1983, the Grateful Dead were known for their extensive improvisational capabilities and progressive approach to live performances, which attracted a dedicated fan base. This concert showcases a variety of beloved tracks, including "Friend of the Devil" and "Hell in a Bucket," highlighting their blend of rock, folk, and blues. This era was significant as the band continued to expand its live repertoire, embracing both classic and newer material, thereby enriching their legacy as pioneers of the jam band scene.
