The Grateful Dead - Mexicali Blues (Rockpalast, 1981)

The Grateful Dead performing "Mexicali Blues" at Rockpalast in 1981.
It's a Dead album in all but name....Weir's emergence from behind the formidable and prescient shadow of Jerry Garcia was sealed....Probably the Dead's best ever studio jamming.

Jerry Garcia : lead guitar, vocals
Bob Weir : rhythm guitar, vocals
Brent Mydland : keyboards, vocals
Phil Lesh : bass, vocals
Bill Kreutzmann : drums, percussion
Mickey Hart : drums, percussion

I wouldn't call this country music. This is rooted in bluegrass & folk, as much as country. A tinge of rockabilly, too.

@wilt0064 real country music is good.  the crap on the radio is typically pop music.

@dabz969 So would I, brother, so would I...

@joeyblast That sounds great, but it's also the kind of thinking that keeps them off the radio. I like to hear them on the radio, especially alongside their peers from the time.

@screwyootube1 id call it rock and roll

[screwyootube1]

@Ryan82586 In the strictest sense, I'd agree. But I would NOT call all Bluegrass country music. In any case, the point was, that I wouldn't call this "country", only because there's so many other prominent influences in there.

@genxxxersize Wow, that may be the dumbest thing I've ever read on YouTube.

[Ryan82586]

@screwyootube1 Bluegrass is a sub-category of the genre country.
