Summary

The lyrics were famously penned by Hunter in the wake of the fateful Altamont Concert in 1969, and in response to a column by influential music critic Ralph J. Gleason suggesting that the Dead had some significant responsibility for the violence that occurred there. Despite being never released as a single and thus never a hit for the general public, this song remains an easy song to appreciate, with people rarely listening to it without enjoying it quite a bit. This track serves as a powerful testament to the impact of a tragic concert performance and the critical voices that shaped its cultural reception.
