This past April, the John Mayer-less version of the Grateful Dead celebrated the 50th anniversary of kicking off their beloved Europe 72â tour, the result of which was a significant and excellent triple live album bearing the same name. And, for your authorâs money, it features the 100% essential recording of âMorning Dew,â and I donât care what any of you bootleg freaks have to say about that (no disrespect to Cornell 77 and Winterland 74, obviously).
We’ll forgive you if you forgot to put it on your calendar or celebrate accordingly, but if you want to light a candle in honor of the Dead milestone, Joya Studio is there to support you, as the Brooklyn-based fragrance brand and design studio celebrated the legacy and iconography of the Grateful Dead with a new line of art candles. Available in three colors and fragrancesâSour Strawberry, Lemon Drop, and Cotton Candyâthe scented wax sculpture of the dancing bear is perfect for setting the mood and ripping into the first Dead recording that features then-newly added members Donna Jean and Keith Godchaux.
