Grateful Dead Family Discography: Supplication

Supplication

Composer: Bob Weir / John Perry Barlow

Supplication was first performed by the Grateful Dead in June 1976. It was performed regularly through the rest of the 1970's, then less frequently during the early 1980's. For all of these performances Supplication was part of the two song sequence Lazy Lightning > Supplication. The song dropped out of the repertoire in 1984. It returned for one performance in 1993 but was not preceded by Lazy Lightning on this occasion. A jam based on Supplication was also performed a number of times.

The song was played by the post-Grateful Dead groups The Other Ones, Furthur, The Dead and Dead & Company.

Supplication has been played by a number of Bob Weir groups: Bobby & The Midnites, Ratdog and Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros. It was also played by Kingfish when Bob Weir was in the group.

Supplication has been played a number of times by Phil Lesh & Friends during shows that recreated Grateful Dead setlists from 1976, 1977 and 1980.
