Hot on the heels of the incredible success of WORKINGMAN’S DEAD in the summer of 1970, the Grateful Dead returned in the fall with the equally stunning AMERICAN BEAUTY. Recorded at Wally Heider Studios in San Francisco with producer Stephen Quinn Barncard, the collection features some of the band’s most iconic songs, including “Friend Of The Devil,” “Sugar Magnolia,” “Truckin’” and “Ripple.”
