Day Tripper
Composer: John Lennon / Paul McCartney

Day Tripper was performed a handful of times by the Grateful Dead between December 1984 and August 1985. It was also played by Bob Weir with Kingfish and by Phil Lesh with The Foundation Band and Friends at a benefit in 2006.

The original UK Beatles single, released in December 1965, was a double A sided single w/ We Can Work It Out. It became the Beatles 10th consecutive No. 1 in the UK. In the US it was released also in December 1965, with We Can Work It Out as the A side and Day Tripper as the B side.

In an interview in 1980 John Lennon said the following about the song; "That's mine, including the lick, the guitar break, and the whole bit. It's just a rock 'n' roll song. Day trippers are people who go on a day trip, right? Usually on a ferryboat or something. But it was kind of - you know, 'you're just a weekend hippie,' Get it".
