One of the two best dead songs to follow each other. It is awesome....

@LordCbass could you imagine if they played St. Stephen in an episode!

[unputer]

beautiful. the best version of this pairing IMO is on the Live/Dead album, which is actually two dates spliced together. all the other spring '69 Fillmore West versions are sublime.

[LordCbass]

not to be confused with The Walking Dead, but just as awesome

[jlmpeace27]

For those of us of a certain generation, just say, "St. Stephen and the Eleven" and you've taken us back to a glorious and joyful place. Thank you for this brilliant performance.
