Aren’t both those songs traditional folk tunes?

They both indeed are. I guess I didn’t know they had to be originals? And something like Rider is significantly different when the Dead do it compared to the traditional renditions.

The Dead may be a glorified cover band but they certainly make them their own(spin on it) when they decide to cover something.

Oh definitely. I was asking for clarification. I perform Rider myself. Love the Dead
