“John Mayer has often said that this enigmatic Robert Hunter/Jerry Garcia composition (‘Althea’), originally recorded for the 1980 album GO TO HEAVEN, was the thing that first drew him inexorably into the musical universe of the Grateful Dead. So, it seems entirely fitting that when John became a co-founding member of Dead & Company, he took possession of the song and made it very much his own on both lead vocal and guitar.” -Gary Lambert on Dead & Company’s performance of “Althea” during Gratef
