Spill Magazine
For a band that was known for its extensive soloing during live performances, this was a problem. Putting their sound on tape was tricky step for the band as they were pressured from producer, Dave Hassinger to sound more commercial. When the album was first released in March, 1967, the band felt the album didn’t truly capture the sound that they had developed in the clubs of their beloved San Francisco.

In all, The Grateful Dead marks the beginning of an illustrious career. The album only helped to grow the band’s following, which would continually grow through their 30 years together.
