    In 1970, the Grateful Dead released a record called "Workingman's Dead." There were two songs written exclusively about Altamont Concert; one being "New Speedway Boogie" and the other was not included on the record, as it was not deemed popular enough. What was the title of the second never released song?

    		The Grateful Dead wrote several songs about, or in response to, what lyricist Robert Hunter called "the Altamont affair", including "New Speedway Boogie" (featuring the line "One way or another, this darkness got to give") and "Mason's Children". Both songs were written and recorded during sessions for the early 1970 album Workingman's Dead, but "Mason's Children" was viewed as too "popular" stylistically and was consequently not included on the album.
