Cassidy (song)

Cassidy (song)

"Cassidy" is the closing track from Bob Weir's 1972 "Ace" album.

Lyricist John Perry Barlow composed the lyrics to the song about two people, Neal Cassady and Cassidy Law (the daughter of Eileen Law, one of the Grateful Dead's archivists). Some of the lyrics also relate to the death of Barlow's father.

The song became a part of the Dead's repertoire, but it wasn't performed until March 23, 1974. This would be the only time they would perform the song with one drummer. After their return to touring in 1976, it became a regular part of their setlists.
