Performing With The Grateful Dead
Lagin was a friend of Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh. During some 1974 Grateful Dead concerts, his synthesizer performances were featured in a separate set between the Dead's first and second sets. Drummer Bill Kreutzman and bassist Phil Lesh often jammed with Ned Lagin during these synthesizer space interludes; sometimes Jerry Garcia played along with his guitar heavily processed through effects processors. Lagin also appears on the song "Candyman" on the 1970 album American Beauty.
