    Grateful Dead Confirmed DLC for Rock Band

    Rock Band today announced that there will be 18 master recordings from the Grateful Dead released as downloadable content for Rock Band following the game's release this holiday. Among the songs will be "Truckin'," "Uncle John's Band," "Touch of Grey," "Sugar Magnolia," and "Casey Jones."

    I assume this will be released as a single Album pack, but no word on pricing. Color me worried. Hit the jump for the official press release. More »
