Sadly, the group was unable to ever complete them in a studio before the death of singer/guitarist Jerry Garcia in 1995.
The world will never know what that album would have sounded like, but we do have a tantalizing idea thanks to a new collection curated by the band’s archivist David Lemieux.
READY OR NOT features nine unreleased live versions of late-period Grateful Dead songs that debuted in 1992 and 1993.
The collection’s track list reflects what might have been the band’s next official studio album following Built to Last.
