Dylan & The Dead is much more than an album, it's a relationship. In this episode we talk to Dylan and Dead expert Harold Lepidus about all aspects of that history, the shows, the rehearsals, the inspiration, and the impact.

This a part of our 'Five Worst Years' series looking at all sides of 1984-1988. Dylan first started spending time with The Dead in '87, rehearsing and then playing live shows - some of which resulted in the 1988 Dylan and The Dead album.
