Saint Stephen
Composer: Jerry Garcia / Phil Lesh / Robert Hunter

Robert Hunter discussed Saint Stephen in an interview with Jeff Tamarkin;
I had been working on this a long time before I gave it to the Grateful Dead, before I took off for New Mexico, which is where I originally sent them the lyrics from. I don't know what to say about this song, except that it was very important to me. It seemed to be saying oodles. It's still one of my favorites. I didn't know who the real St Stephen was until I wrote it.
Saint Stephen was first performed by the Grateful Dead in May 1968. It was then played regularly through to late Summer 1971. Following a near five year absence the song returned to the live repertoire in June 1976 and was played regularly through that year and 1977. There were then a handful of appearances in 1978, one in 1979 and three in 1983.
