Most of us don't, I believe, associate the Grateful Dead and acoustic music. But they've played some mighty fine acoustic tunes. Here's a sample.

There is a road, no simple highway
Between the dawn and the dark of night
And if you go, no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone
Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow

 

[Bigboote]
