Grateful Dead - Live at Carousel Ballroom on 1968-03-30 (1968)



/Psychedelic rock, Blues, Southern rock, Soul rock, Live session, Classical rock/


Comment: This 11-track gig was performed just one year before Jerry Garcia & Co`s performing at the famous Woodstock festival in 1969. This is a dense mix of psychedelic rock, southern rock, blues-tinged jams and even got drowned in soul and gospel music at times. For instance, if to juxtapose it to the other important psychedelic rock outfit, the Doors, GD was even more influenced by the US-based roots sound which mainly bases on the black music traditions.
