Six

From 21 October 1975 to 2 June 1976, the Dead were officially "retired"...from touring, at least.

Today we have one of the four shows of 1975, this one from San Francisco's Winterland Arena.

There are also recordings of that year's rehearsals of much of the new material, which was arguably the most complex the band had attempted.  They're kind of cool.

The album from 1975, "Blues for Allah," is one of the first CDs I ever bought...great stuff.

Enjoy!
