A Dead Giveaway: Cow Palace Comes Home
Back in November we celebrated Rhino’s decision to begin releasing great shit from the Grateful Dead archives that they acquired in a recent licensing deal.
Live at The Cow Palace: New Year’s Eve 1976 hits stores on January 23rd, but as part of our recurring Everybody Wins When I Plug Something And In Return They Offer Me Free Shit To Give Away contests, we’re riding in on our white horses with our assless chaps and giving one of these bad boys away. Yeah.
Even though I should just fake an entry and award myself the winner under an assumed non-affiliated alias, I guess we’ll just give this thing away instead. Some blogs like to throw trivia out there, but I’d rather get your creative juices flowing and allow everyone an equal opportunity to participate. We’re good like that.
So in order to win this stellar three-disc set, all you have to do is provide your answer to this thought in the comment section below: With strict parameters of 25 to 50 words, give us your most serious, headiest explanation for why anyone, however many years removed from the actual show, would ever want to listen to “Space” instead of just skipping from Drums to the next song. Convince me.
Follow these links below to stream some the tracks from the release, and read on for a full track listing and sveral YouTube teasers.
