About the Song
"West L.A. Fadeaway" is a song originally by the Grateful Dead, featuring lyrics by Robert Hunter and music by Jerry Garcia. The Travelin' McCourys have included this track in their Grateful Ball performances, which showcase their bluegrass interpretations of classic Grateful Dead songs. The song was first performed in 1982 and has since become a fan favorite, characterized by its reflective lyrics and steady groove.

The narrative of "West L.A. Fadeaway" touches on themes of longing and the pursuit of happiness against the backdrop of Los Angeles's vibrant yet sometimes shallow lifestyle. The lyrics evoke imagery of a luxurious yet unattainable chateau, representing both a literal and metaphorical escape​
There's some speculation that it might allude to the life and death of comedian John Belushi, suggesting a deeper commentary on the darker side of fame and excess.

In their performances, the Travelin' McCourys bring a fresh energy to the song as part of their Grateful Ball set, blending traditional bluegrass elements with the emotional depth of the original tune. This song opened the Grateful Ball portion of their Sunday night set at CaveFest 2024.
