Grateful Dead - Built To Last

Built to Last (1989) captures the Grateful Dead in full bloom at the edge of a new decade—seasoned, spiritual, and still unpredictable. Released on Arista Records and produced by the band with John Cutler, it’s an album of reflection and renewal. Songs like “Foolish Heart,” “Standing on the Moon,” and “Victim or the Crime” pulse with clarity and quiet power. Built to Last feels like a long exhale after a wild ride—proof that even after decades on the road, the Dead still found new light in the dark.
