Enjoy the 16 minute+ audio mind head.

Sad that Buddy Holly could never plug in with the Dead and do "Not Fade Away"....he would have loved this sound.

and shutting it down with "Not Fade Away"....would have been an epic meld of music from the 50's to the 70's.

The Bo Diddley Beat was always a key component of their sound.
