Grateful Dead Family Discography: Let It Grow

Let It Grow

Composer: Bob Weir / John Barlow

Let It Grow is listed on the Wake Of The Flood album as Weather Report Suite: Part 2 (Let It Grow)

Let It Grow was first performed by the Grateful Dead in September 1973. It was performed many times during the remainder of 1973 and through 1974 and on all but two of these occasions it formed part of the complete Weather Report Suite. After the 1975 hiatus Let It Grow returned to the repertoire but the Prelude and Part 1 of the Weather Report Suite were dropped for good. Thereafter the song, which was generally referred to as just Let It Grow, was performed fairly regularly through to July 1995.
