The Grateful Dead Live at the Spectrum - Cumberland Blues 9-21-1972
EP #02 - The Grateful Dead pulled into the Spectrum on September 21, 1972, for an electric and memorable show. They went on early and played late to another sold out Spectrum crowd! This show is highly regarded as one of the best on this tour. Get up and Dance! RIP Phil Lesh.
