On August 21, Raising the Dead performed an epic show for the patrons of the Cadieux Cafe in Detroit.  Our second set was so special, we decided it deserved to become our first official album release.  Starting today, “Terrapin Stations & Other Ones: Live at the Cadieux Cafe” is available to stream on all major services (links below), and available for download purchase on platforms that support it (We will actually make some money on this, so please consider purchasing it!)

The album consists of our second set from that night, conceived by our keyboardist Max Katz (with a little help from his friends), who took some of the Dead’s most commonly played song segues and mixed them up inside each other, and then wrapped them in the Terrapin Suite, which we’d premiered Hippies at the Village on July 31, and played again at the Cabbage Patch on August 1st. 

Help>Slip>Frank, Dark Star>St. Stephen>The Eleven, and Cryptical Envelopment>The Other One are all encompassed in this set, but not in the way you might assume a typical Dead tribute would play them.  

We open with Lady With A Fan, and as soon as the first solo section comes in, we segue into Help On the Way.  Help gives way to Slipknot, as you would expect, but we don’t finish the jam, saving the return for later.  Instead, Dave plays the familiar chords of Dark Star, and we take a long detour through space, landing on St. Stephen.  We nest the musical matryoshka once again, and Matt leads us into Cryptical>The Other One.  (If you listen to just one song, we recommend The Other One!)  Next, we slide back into Terrapin Station to finish the song - or so you think.  Once the refrain has built and released (and built and released), Joe stabs his cymbal for the second half of the Suite.  Terrapin Transit and At a Siding are interrupted by Bill's bass bombs harkening “The Eleven” and then, finally, Slipknot finishes, and Laurie's harmonies roll away the dew at Franklin’s Tower.  Our next Terrapin station is the completion of At A Siding and Terrapin Flyer featuring insane drum breaks and frantic back and forth soloing between Max and Matt, finally returning home for the Refrain and the end of a one hour, thirty-nine minute psychedelic voyage.  

Rhythm guitarist Dave Martin took the multitrack soundboard recordings and lovingly mixed and mastered the show, making sure you wouldn’t miss a note of Deadly goodness.  The band is self-financing this release, and has purchased the rights to publish these songs from the copyright holders.  We’re very excited to give you this snapshot of our state of the band, and we hope you’ll be inspired to share it with Deadheads from Detroit and beyond.
