The Who - Rock is Dead, Long Live Rock (1972)

 

Side A:
1. Relay
2. Get Inside
3. Riot in the Female Jail
4. Long Live Rock
5. Put the Money Down
6. Can't You See I'm Easy

Side B:
7. Join Together
8. Four Faces
9. We Close Tonight
10. You Came Back
11. Joker James
12. Anymore

This is my take on the unreleased album Rock is Dead, Long Live Rock by The Who which would later become Quadrophenia. There was a tracklist that I found for it online but it only had 9 songs and 2 of them would later be included on Quadrophenia. However the Quadrophenia deluxe edition included two discs of demos that I could use. Some of these songs might've technically been written for Quadrophenia but it's worth noting that all the songs were recorded in 1972.

Grateful Dead - Rolling Thunder (1972)

 

Side A:
1. Deal - Jerry Garcia
2. Black Throated Wind - Bob Weir
3. Fletcher Carnaby - Mickey Hart
4. Bird Song - Jerry Garcia
5. Walk in the Sunshine - Bob Weir

Side B:
6. Blind John - Mickey Hart
7. Sugaree - Jerry Garcia
8. Playing in the Band - Bob Weir
9. Young Man - Mickey Hart

Similarly to my Kiss and Yes albums, I put this one together by combining three solo albums made by members of the Grateful Dead in 1972. However they also all released albums in 1976, but two of them were released under a band name instead of the main members' name. The second side to Jerry's album had some weird electronic stuff going on which is pretty trippy. Also Bob's and Mickey's albums both had a version of Playing in the Band and Greatest Story Ever Told. Bob sang on both but the versions on Mickey's album had different names. I tried to keep it at around 40 minutes, but it meant I could only use three songs from each member. Playing in the Band first appeared on the 1971 Skull and Roses live album but appears here more fleshed out.
