Grateful Dead Family Discography: Can't Come Down

Can't Come Down

Composer: Jerry Garcia / Bill Kreutzmann / Phil Lesh / Ron McKernan / Bob Weir

Can't Come Down was performed in 1965 and 1966 but then dropped from the repertoire.

Bob Weir described the writing of the song in an interview:

We wrote all the music and Jerry wrote the lyrics. Jerry excused himself for a moment and went off. He came back with a couple of verses and we put together a chorus.

All the releases of the song are the version from a Warlocks demo recording in November 1965.
