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.

“Do you see that kitten chasing so prettily her own tail?

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The first Day’s Night had come—
And grateful that a thing
So terrible—had been endured—
I told my Soul to sing—”

Hurry up somebody’s dead we’re still alive.”
