Celebrate the 50th anniversary of From The Mars Hotel, released eight months after Wake Of The Flood. The Grateful Dead followed up that masterpiece with the second album on their Grateful Dead Records label, From The Mars Hotel.
Most of the songs on From The Mars Hotel were important parts of their live repertoire. “Scarlet Begonias,” “Ship Of Fools,” and “U.S Blues” arrived on the scene in 1974, with “China Doll” and “Loose Lucy” coming a year earlier. Peaking at #16 on the Billboard Top 200 chart in 1974, the album's terrific batch of new songs and exceptional production had Dead Heads scooping up the album 50 years ago upon its release.
