Vince Welnick Dept: The Tubes “El Paso” 1975 vs. Grateful Dead “El Paso” 1994

by happycat! >^.^<m~ | Jun 2, 2018 | Grateful Dead, Video, Vince Welnick

Vince Welnick, keyboard player with the Grateful Dead from the 90s, was originally in The Tubes.

Known for highly theatrical shock rock, here is an unexpected video of The Tubes, with our boy Vince Welnick on keys, covering the Marty Robbins classic “El Paso” in 1975.

Of course this is a song that Bob Weir has been performing most of his career, including many times with the Grateful Dead. But not one The Tubes were known for.

Here is the Grateful Dead, with Vince Welnick, performing “El Paso” in 1994.
