"One of the most-loved Grateful Dead songs, “Ripple” was one of the many standouts on ‘American Beauty.’ It was played 11 times 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 Footage from the band’s Radio City Music Hall Performance that occurred 42 years ago this week. | Grateful Dead
