Next week, the PlayStation Store update will mark two "firsts" in the Rock Band franchise with the release of the first ever The Grateful Dead songs which will also happen to be included in the first ever six-pack.

The legends of classic rock, The Grateful Dead, will be featured in this week's Rock Band DLC with six available master tracks followed by 13 more in the future. Although announced back in the fall, Harmonix was able to secure the licenses for 18 master tracks from The Grateful Dead and the initial six songs released this week are:

* "Casey Jones"
* "China Cat Sunflower"
* "Franklin's Tower"
* "I Need a Miracle"
* "Sugar Magnolia"
* "Truckin'"

Each track will be available on the PlayStation Store for 1.99USD, while the first six-pack will sell for 9.99USD (three-packs have previously sold for 5.49USD).

    they are pretty fun, for me they can be addicting.  you find yourself saying "just one more song".  and in RB you get to play drums...can't beat it

    the fun is in actually being an active part of the music. Knowing that your involvment and timing are the reason that a cool song gets played is the key factor in most music games. The more you like a song the more you want it to play out.

    Oh good. MORE Rock Band content to slowly suck players dry.  I enjoy playing GH and RB but I won't buy either because developers are concentrating more on DLC than the game.  All DLC songs to this point could have easily fit on a Blu-ray.  I refuse to pay full price on a game to download content that should have been on there originally.

    @infernoreaper, the devs have to make money you know. $2 a song is not that expensive. It costs a dollar alone on itunes and then harmonix gives 16 different ways to play one song. Seems like a good deal to me.

    This band is one of the most boring groups ever. But seeing where these two great franchises seem to be going (Guitar Hero Areosmith?  Why not something that would be fun, like GH Ozzy or Gh Van Halen or Gh DragonForce or GhBuckethead or Gh Joe Satriani?) im not suprised
