One of late keyboardist Vince Welnick’s contributions to the Grateful Dead’s live repertoire during his five-year tenure in the band was a pairing of two classic rock covers – The Who’s Baba O’Riley and The Beatles’ Tomorrow Never Knows. Vince sang lead on the cover pairing which was debuted at Cal Expo in Sacramento, Calif. on May 19, 1992 and appeared at random shows through 1994.
A pro-shot video of the0 Baba O’Riley > Tomorrow Never Knows encore from a June 6, 1992 show in Buffalo has just popped up on YouTube thanks to Telekinetica…
Grateful Dead – Baba O’Riley > Tomorrow Never Knows
This was a controversial cover as some Deadheads thought it was atrocious while others appreciated the variety in the encore slot, at least at first. Where did you stand?
