Let there be songs to fill the air 🌬️🎶 "One of the most-loved Grateful Dead songs, ‘Ripple’ was one of the many standouts on ‘American Beauty.’ It was played 11 times between 1970 & 1971, and then dropped until it returned in 1980, played as the set-closing song every night during the Dead's acoustic sets. It made one final appearance on 9/3/88 in Landover, MD, before being retired for good." - David Lemieux Watch the full performance of the tune from the final night of the Dead’s Radio City Music Hall run in October, 1980 on the Grateful Dead @YouTube channel.
