Grateful Dead drummer hopes people get peace from new live album

There's a new Grateful Dead live album out now, and drummer Bill Kreutzmann hopes people really get off on the vibes. The three-disc Live At The Cow Palace, New Year's Eve, 1976 features the band's complete 22-song performance, which stretched over three hours, and Kreutzmann told us that he hopes the music helps bring people together: "I want people to really be able to look and be in each other's hearts, and not have this horrible war -- but I don't mean just the war in Iraq, I mean war in our country, people not getting along, you know? And so, that's what I want people to get. I always want people to get happy and be with each other. That was the most fun about Grateful Dead concerts, is that you could really see people relating to each other. They really had heart for each other. It was truly an extended family."

While there will be more releases from the Grateful Dead vaults, there are no plans for Kreutzmann, bassist Phil Lesh, singer-guitarist Bob Weir, and drummer Mickey Hart to work together again.
