Podcasts about China Cat Sunflower

At the risk of featuring too many sets from this period I decided to bring you this long, wonderful first set from March 22, 1973. While most of these songs don't feature stratospheric jams, they are quite well played in my opinion, and this set does include a truly beautiful 'Bird Song' and a great ending with 'China->Rider- >Playin' In the Band'   There are two sources used, the majority is provided by a Betty Cantor board, probably one that was in a group that suffered water damage and mold - the missing reel was probably thrown away.. The missing segment here, starting with 'China Cat' is from a Dick Latvala cassette.    The fire marshall was apparently giving the band a hard time and threatening to shut the show down, which accounts for some of the warnings about keeping the aisle clear..      Grateful Dead Utica Memorial Auditorium Utica, NY 3/22/1973 - Thursday   One [1:43:22]    The Promised Land [2:58]  Sugaree [7:34]  Mexicali Blues [3:23]  They Love Each Other [5:09]  Looks Like Rain [7:11]  Deal [4:32]  Beat It On Down The Line [3:07]  Bird Song [11:26]  Jack Straw [4:32]  Box Of Rain [4:38]  You Ain't Woman Enough [3:00]  The Race Is On [2:54]  Row Jimmy [7:44]  El Paso [4:15]  China Cat Sunflower [6:02] > Jam [1:48] > I Know You Rider [5:08]  Playing In The Band [15:01]    You can listen to this week's Dead here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod032125.mp3     As always thanks for your kind support.

      This week on the Deadpod we have the pleasure of listening to the second set from the band's performance on February 17, 1973 in St. Paul Minnesota..  This set begins with a nicely jammed out 'Truckin' followed by 'Row Jimmy' and appropriately, 'Big River'.. Donna follows with a 'You Ain't Woman Enough' but that leads us into the heart of this set, an exquisitely crafted trifecta of 'Here Comes Sunshine' into 'China Cat Sunflower' and 'I Know You Rider'.. you definitely need this one.. the rest of the set is more straight ahead rocking Dead, culminating in a 'Saturday Night' closer and a 'Casey Jones' encore.. watch for Weir's screeching in the 'Not Fade Away' reprise.. :)   Grateful Dead St. Paul Auditorium St. Paul, MN 2/17/1973 - Saturday Two      Truckin' [12:15] Row Jimmy Big River [4:16] You Ain't Woman Enough Here Comes Sunshine [7:52] > China Cat Sunflower [7:52] > I Know You Rider [4:07#] Around And Around Not Fade Away [4:12] > Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad [7:#16] > Not Fade Away [3:07] One More Saturday Night Encore      Casey Jones [6:16]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod022825.mp3 Hope you enjoy the ride! 

Happy New Year! ... but this NYE set by the Dead should put you in the mood to say goodbye to 2024 and to ring in a brand new 2025... This show occurred at an important turning point for the Dead, as they moved forward with many 'new' tunes and with Keith and Donna as members of the band (Donna makes her vocal debut here on 'One More Saturday Night'). The sound on this FM broadcast is generally very good and the band is tight. The boys play here with a great youthful enthusiasm.. They open with 'Dancin' In the Streets' which they wouldn't play again until June of 76.. This is a long and fun first set, clocking in at over 90 minutes.. Pig has some great moments here - Mr. Charlie, Chinatown Shuffle and Next Time You See Me are great..  All in all a great first set, we'll hear set 2 next week..    Grateful Dead Winterland Arena San Francisco, CA 12/31/1971 - Friday One      Dancing In The Street [#8:29]   Mr. Charlie [3:38]   Brown Eyed Women [4:22]   Beat It On Down The Line [2:56]   You Win Again [3:36]   Jack Straw [4:31]   Sugaree [7:01]   El Paso [4:14]>   Chinatown Shuffle [2:35]   Tennessee Jed [6:41]   Mexicali Blues [3:16]   China Cat Sunflower [4:40] > I Know You Rider [5:18]   Next Time You See Me [4:30]   Playing In The Band [6:09]   Loser [6:15]   One More Saturday Night (1) [4:23#]  You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod122724.mp3  Thanks for your support this year.. it means alot..  Happy New Year.

All the songs here are first rate - the China >Rider is wonderful as is the GSET.. then we get a complete Weather Report Suite..Eyes of the World into Morning Dew is one for the ages..    Then, after this massive set, I've included the soundcheck for this show, which has some really fun versions and even some Holiday sounds!

In this enlightening interview, host Steve Roby speaks with Adam Theis, the trombonist, bassist, composer, and co-founder of Jazz Mafia. Throughout their conversation, Adam shares the origin story of Jazz Mafia, which began in the late 1990s in San Francisco's North Beach at a venue called Black Cat. Adam describes how the venue's manager encouraged musicians to break boundaries and experiment with new sounds, leading to the creation of the Jazz Mafia collective, which now incorporates a variety of musical genres, including electro, hip-hop, world, classical, and jazz. Steve and Adam delve into specific projects within Jazz Mafia, focusing on the Grateful Brass. This unique ensemble reimagines the music of the Grateful Dead using brass, drums, and vocals. Adam explains how his experiences with Grateful Dead members Mickey Hart and Bob Weir influenced this concept and how the project evolved from an initial challenge to a celebrated musical venture. The interview also highlights the upcoming release of a Grateful Brass album and an exclusive Jerry Garcia birthday Celebration show at Blue Note in Napa. Throughout, Adam provides anecdotes about his musical journey, the creative process behind Jazz Mafia's various projects, and the positive reception from both Jazz Mafia fans and Grateful Dead enthusiasts. The discussion is peppered with a preview of tracks like "China Cat Sunflower" and "Birdsong," showcasing the innovative spirit of Jazz Mafia.

 This week the Deadpod goes back 51 years to February 15, 1973 when the Grateful Dead played a massive show in Madison Wisconsin. this first set clocks in at about 100 minute... it starts with a song they debuted about a week earlier 'Loose Lucy'. They are still warming up when they then 'Beat It On Down The Line'. Several favorites follow, but things really get rolling with a fine, up tempo 'Row Jimmy'. The highlights of the set follow, with a wonderful 'China Cat >I Know You Rider' and a jamming 'Playing In The Band'. Bobby really steps it up in the last third of this first set..      Grateful Dead Dane County Coliseum Madison, WI 2/15/1973 passes & laminates One - 1:40:00     Loose Lucy [6:34][0:46] Beat It On Down The Line [3:27][0:08]%[0:27] Brown Eyed Women [4:56][0:05]%[0:06] Mexicali Blues [3:27][0:09]%[0:06] Tennessee Jed [7:53][0:07]%[0:12] Looks Like Rain [6:30] Box Of Rain [4:50] Row Jimmy [7:49] Jack Straw [4:45] China Cat Sunflower [5:58] > I Know You Rider [5:35] Me And My Uncle [2:46] Bertha [5:18] Playing In The Band [15:36] Casey Jones [6:41]  You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod021624.mp3  I hope you enjoy this week's Deadpod.. thanks for listening and your support.. 

  This week's Deadpod features a historic performance - it occurred on the night the band was 'busted down in New Orleans' - January 30, 1970 at The Warehouse in New Orleans, Louisiana. Also historic as it was the last show that Tom Constantin played in the Dead.. but aside from that this is a fine show and I think you'll enjoy hearing this very good tape..  The tape is missing part of the opening Casey Jones, nevertheless good vibes here and on the following 'Me & My Uncle'.. 'Black Peter' is wonderful.. I also think the 'High Time in this set is absolutely perfect. 'Cumberland Blues' is hot.. hotter than you think that song should be ;) and is there a better song to pull out here than 'Easy Wind'?  The 'Cryptical Envelopment>Other One>Cryptical' is hard driving Dead!  They do a sweet transition into 'Cosmic Charlie' - sadly this one is cut as well... .   Grateful Dead The Warehouse New Orleans, LA 1/30/1970 - Friday One - 1:33:00      Casey Jones [#1:27][0:47] Me And My Uncle [3:09][0:29] Black Peter [9:51][0:15] Hard To Handle [5:26][0:05]%[0:07] China Cat Sunflower [3:13] > Jam [2:34] > I Know You Rider [4:19] > High Time [6:25][0:15] Cumberland Blues [6:21][0:04]%[0:03] Easy Wind [10:13][0:12]%[0:10] Mama Tried [2:36] > Good Lovin' [1:49] > Drums [0:40] > Good Lovin' [5:26][0:16] Cryptical Envelopment [2:17] > Drums [5:22] > The Other One [9:41] > Cryptical Envelopment [9:10] > Cosmic Charlie [0:34#]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod012624.mp3  Thank you for your kind support!  The days are getting brighter!

There's nothing like a B2B event. Right?…. Right? [[ *crickets* ]] That is, there won't be anything like a B2B event after you apply the lessons in this episode of Remarkable to your events. It's like how Deadheads say “There's nothing like a Grateful Dead concert.” That's because the Grateful Dead were selling the experience. It was a place to go with people to meet, and all of the sights, sounds, and good vibes that made it an experience of a lifetime. So in this episode, we're listening to the Grateful Dead with our guest, Director of Content at LeanIX, Matthew Grant. Together, we talk about giving away content to build an audience, selling the experience, and recording the event. So grab your tie dye tee for this episode of Remarkable.About our guest, Matthew GrantMatthew Grant is Director, Content Marketing at LeanIX.

The founding members included Jerry Garcia (vocals, guitar), Ron “Pigpen” McKernan (vocals, organ, harmonica), Bob Weir (vocals, guitar), Bill Kreutzmann (drums), and Phil Lesh (vocals, bass). Their home stomping grounds were the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood in San Francisco. And they got their musical careers started off around the time of the Summer of Love and the counterculture movement.About the Grateful Dead Europe 72 Record AlbumThe Grateful Dead's Europe 72 Album is a triple album (17 songs split across three vinyl records) that was recorded in 1972 while the band was touring in Western Europe (England, Denmark, Germany, etc.)  It was recorded in April and May of that year, and released in November. The hope was that proceeds from the sale would help them recoup what they spent while on tour. Especially since they toured with an entourage of 43 people. Most of the songs were new, but it also included some live renditions of songs from studio albums. It has songs like “Brown-Eyed Woman,” “China Cat Sunflower,” and “Cumberland Blues”. Notably, it marked the last time Ron “Pigpen” McKernan, one of the original members, would play with them before passing away from an autoimmune disease that affects the liver. The album charted in the U.S. for 24 straight weeks after its release, and it was one of the first triple-record rock albums to be certified gold, and has since been certified double platinum.What B2B Companies Can Learn From the Grateful Dead:Give away content. Your content provides value to your audience while driving brand awareness. So when the buyer is ready, your brand is the one they think of. Matt says, “You could argue that the model for content marketing comes from the Grateful Dead. Which is, you give away content to build an audience. ‘Hey, Deadhead, send us your postcard!' And then you get them to pay for something that can't be commodified, like an in person live experience that's only happening once.”Sell the experience. Create a unique experience for your audience around the product. When talking about the Grateful Dead, Matt says, “Music on some level is a commodity. There are better musicians than the people in The Grateful Dead, there are better songwriters than the people in The Grateful Dead, especially now when you have Spotify and all those other things, your access to music is unlike anything I had in my earlier part of my lifetime. So you've got to give people something else. The music is almost secondary. What they're really selling is an opportunity, or a space, for you to be yourself, or do your own thing, or be a freak, or be weird, or whatever, and it's a non-judgmental zone.” So sell your audience an experience. Especially if it has good music.Record the event. So people who missed out can see it, and fans can re-live it. Ian says, “It's a fan service to create a live album. It's like a time capsule. And the idea that at any point in time, you could transport someone back to this moment is really interesting. Even if you weren't there, you still get to have that moment.”Quotes*“It was more about the cult than it was about the actual music.” - Ian Faison*“When people say they like The Grateful Dead, what they're remembering is this show they went to. And that time, you know, in Southern California, and it was outside, and it was at night, and everyone was chill, and we had a lot of fun. That's why they like it.”  - Matt Grant*”It's this experience. You have to give people more if you want them to come back. If you play the same songs every time and it's a cookie cutter thing, maybe they'll see you once. But why come back?” - Matt Grant*”In B2B tech, you can focus on content and the message. But if you don't have a product that can deliver on it, it doesn't matter.” - Matt GrantTime Stamps[0:56] Meet Matt Grant, Director of Content at LeanIX[2:11] What makes the Grateful Dead's Europe 72 album remarkable?[27:41] What can the Grateful Dead can teach us about authenticity in marketing? [28:35] How did the Grateful Dead build a community of Deadheads?[30:50] Where did the Grateful Dead bear come from?[34:25] What do the Grateful Dead and HubSpot have in common?[38:51] What we can learn from the Grateful Dead about knowing your audience?

The Grateful Dead performed the two-song combination over 500 times throughout their 30-year run, making it one of the more dependable mid-set segues capable of launching a show into orbit at any moment thanks to its dance-friendly tempo and lengthy jams transition jams.It makes it that much more special to note that the “China” > “Rider” combination made its first appearance at the legendary Cafe au Go Go in New York City on September 30th, 1969—54 years ago today, and less than a month before the venue closed its doors in October of that year."I Know You Rider" (also "Woman Blues" and "I Know My Rider") is a traditionalblues song that has been adapted by numerous artists. It has appeared in folk, country, and rock guises and is not overly identified with any particular artist. Modern versions can be traced back to Blind Lemon Jefferson's "Deceitful Brownskin Blues", which was released as a single in 1927. It appears in a 1934 book, American Ballads and Folk Songs, by the noted father-and-son musicologists and folklorists John Lomax and Alan Lomax.[2] The book notes that "An eighteen-year old black girl, in prison for murder, sang the song and the first stanza of these blues." The Lomaxes then added a number of verses from other sources and named it "Woman Blue".[2] The music and melody are similar to Lucille Bogan's "B.D. Woman Blues" (c. 1935), although the lyrics are completely different. By the mid-1960s, rock acts had begun to perform or record the song. James Taylor sang it as "Circle Round the Sun" on his 1968 debut album James Taylor).[2]Big Brother and the Holding Company featuring Janis Joplin were performing it in concert; a rendition from 1966 was released in 1984 on the live album Cheaper Thrills.[2] The Grateful Dead's interpretation was a staple of their live shows from the beginning of the band's existence in 1965, where it would soon be performed as a connected song from "China Cat Sunflower" and represented the group's forging a bridge from their psychedelic music to their more traditional country and folk side.[1] This combination was featured on their 1972 triple live album Europe '72.[1] (The Grateful Dead's segue approach was later used by Bruce Hornsby and the Range in the late 1980s, with "I Know You Rider" following their song, "The Red Plains" The combo was first released by the Dead on the original Europe '72 album.  Although Rider can be found on earlier Dead recordings.               1st – Nov. 3, 1965 at Mother's in S.F.              Last – July 8, 1995, Soldier Field              Total 563   No. 4 most played, not counting Drums and Space, China Cat is No. 3 on that list at 564  Show is at Thelma, a nightclub on Hollywood Blvd. with a very uncertain history.  First, it was a Hungarian restaurant called The Little Gypsy, then it became an upscale restaurant called The Golden Violin.  In mid-60's, the owner turned it into a rock club, Galaxy.  Was located in the middle of a block filled with music venues.  To the east, was Whisky a Go Go (most famous of them all), to the west Hamburger Hamlet (for late night munchies).  Right next door was the London Fog where The Doors, in their formative years, had a residency before Jim Morrison's behaviour got them kicked out – moved to the Whisky to become the house band.  Initially, Galaxy's house band was a fledgling Iron Butterfly.  Became Thelma in the fall of 1969. Was a three night run from 12/10 – 12/12.  Night one is the concert featured on Dave's Picks No. 10 – another great concert, but this one has one thing that the Dec. 10th show does not have – Stephen Stills playing with the boys. Recall this past spring we featured Stephen Stills playing with the Dead on April 16, 1983 at Brendan Byrne Arena in NJ when they played Stills' song, Black Queen and one of my favorite versions of Iko ever recorded by the Dead.  The next night they played Love The One Your With.  Only a 14 year gap in between!  SHOW No. 1:     Casey Jones                           Track #8                           2:48 – 4:15 The first tune Stills came on stage for (although some remember him playing in the first set as well). Just like we discussed last week (Fillmore West on 12.4.69), there is a bridge here between primal dead and americana dead.  This show features a mix of primal dead and new americana tunes.  Casey Jones was an entirely different type of song for the Dead but it rocked and Stills seems very comfortable figuring out his place in the mix.  Garcia/Hunter tuneReleased on Workingman's Dead in spring, 1970. First played on June 22, 1969 at a show in Central Park in NYCLast played on March 27, 1993 at the Kickerbocker Arena in Albany NYTotal played 313 times (No. 42) BUT, after 1972 it dropped off the regular set list rotation.  From 1973 till the end, only played 47 times and by the ‘80's it became a rarity that required good luck to catch:                                                                   1982 – 2x                                         1984 – 2x                                         1992 – 3x                                         1993 – 1x I unfortunately never saw it live.  Very disappointing. Closest I came was the '84 show at Merriweather Post pavilion outside of D.C.  I was with a group of friends on summer tour but did not head out for the east coast swing and missed that show.  But my good buddy Rick was there because he took the long car ride that I avoided.  Miss a little, miss a lot.  Article re Stills and Dead SHOW No. 2:     Good Morning Little School Girl                           Track #9                           7:00 – 8:39 We featured this song last week but had to feature it again, because on this version Stills finds his footing and jams along with Garcia and Weir as well as Pig on the harmonica.  A very cool sound.  Pig kills it as usual.  SHOW No. 3:     Black Queen                           Track No. 11                           2:15 – 3:52 We featured this song on the episode earlier this year featuring the April 16, 1983 mash up show.  This is an earlier version and just as down and dirty as the later version.  A great Stills tune that the Dead feel right at home with. As a reminder,Black Queen is a song written by American singer-songwriter Stephen Stills. It was featured on his self-titled debut solo album released in 1970. The song holds a significant place in Stills' body of work, as it explores powerful themes of love, equality, and racial injustice. Let's delve into the meaning behind this iconic song and unveil the message Stephen Stills intended to convey through his heartfelt lyrics. Black Queen is a passionate ode to the African American community, expressing solidarity with their struggle for equality and justice. The song's opening line, “White knights for the black queen, marching to the stirrings of the breeze,” immediately sets the tone for the uplifting and empathetic message throughout the song. Stills paints a vivid picture of a world where individuals of different races join hands to fight against racial discrimination.Throughout the song, Stills calls for unity and emphasizes the importance of embracing diversity. He acknowledges the strength and resilience of the Black community, praising their ability to overcome adversity and stand tall in the face of systemic racism. With lines like “Black queen, your dreams are on the ground,” Stills recognizes the struggles that African Americans have faced but encourages them to keep fighting for their rights and aspirations.This show and April '83 are the only two times the Dead played the song in concert.  SHOW No. 4:     Turn On Your Lovelight                           Track #12                           :46 – 2:25 A very short version of this tune, considering its 1969 and Pig has the lead, but after only a few minutes, they segue into a killer Cryptical/Other One which apparently was a bit too out there for Stills as he leaves the stage at the transition. Still Pig at his finest singing and rapping as only he could do.  A tune that died with Pig until Bobby brought it back in the early ‘80's and it became more of a regular after that although never as much as it was when Pig was around.  Great jamming with Stills in his final number with the band for the night.  OUTRO:              Cosmic Charlie                           Track #17                           Start – end (just about a minute because it cuts out) Released on Aoxomoxoa in June, 1969.  Grateful Dead was known for their unique and poetic songwriting style, and “Cosmic Charlie” is no exception. Released in 1969 on their album “Aoxomoxoa,” this song has captivated fans for decades with its enigmatic lyrics and psychedelic sound. Exploring themes of spirituality, love, and the human experience, “Cosmic Charlie” takes listeners on a sonic journey unlike any other. The meaning behind “Cosmic Charlie” is open to interpretation, as with many of the band's songs. Some believe it was inspired by the vision of a fictional character named Cosmic Charlie, who travels through different dimensions, spreading joy and love. Others see it as a metaphor for the human longing for connection and transcendence. The lyrics, although cryptic at times, convey a sense of wonder and mystery that invites listeners to delve deeper into their own consciousness. The overall message of “Cosmic Charlie” seems to be one of embracing the cosmic and spiritual aspects of life. It encourages listeners to let go of their inhibitions, explore the unknown, and seek connection with the universe. The song invites individuals to tap into their inner selves and discover the hidden realms of existence. Very rarely played by the Dead.  Only a total of 45 times.1st – Jan. 16, 1969, Robertson Gymnasium at UC Santa Barbara, Isla Vista, CALast  - Sept. 25, 1976, Cap Center in Landover Maryland. Played 20 times in 1969, 18 times in 1970 and one time in 1971.  The tune then went on hiatus until 1976 when it was played a total of 6 times between June and September.  Thereafter, a tune the deadheads literally begged the Dead to play again.  Around 1983 or 1984, a group started asking for signatures on a petition to the Dead asking them to play the song again.  They would also hand out cards with the song's lyrics so “when” the Dead played it, the Deadheads would be able to sing along.  Alas, they just became Dead trinkets in the same cigar box as my ticket stubs because the Dead never did play it again. Sorry this is a “cut” version of this version, but it's still great music and as any Deadhead who never heard it live would agree, this would have been an amazing tune to hear so even just a little of it is worth the listen.  Enjoy 

EP990 Grateful Dead - China Cat Sunflower

We're stepping it up this week.. yes! believe it or not, this week's Deadpod is probably even hotter than last week's show from 1973! This one comes from May 25, 1974 at Santa Barbra California. A beautiful afternoon show that must have seemed to go on forever...  The first set starts with a U.S. Blues.. a great way to start a show and start this 13 song first set! The entire set is smoking hot, and it has a pedigree - as it comes from Dick Latvala's cassette, so the sound is great.  Some of the highlights include a wonderful 'Jack Straw', a stand alone 'Scarlet', Weir 'takes a bottle, cracks him in the jaw' on 'Me & My Uncle', but the true highlight of the set and probably the show is the mind-bending 'China Cat>I Know Your Rider' , in particular the great jamming in the transition - not to be missed. Billy K is on it..      Grateful Dead Campus Stadium - University Of California Santa Barbara, CA 5/25/1974 - Saturday     One     U.S. Blues [5:30] Mexicali Blues [3:22] Deal [4:14] Jack Straw [4:43] Scarlet Begonias [4:34] Beat It On Down The Line [3:02] Brown Eyed Women [4:29] Me And My Uncle [2:45] Sugaree [6:34] El Paso [4:03] China Cat Sunflower [8:20] > I Know You Rider [4:19] Around And Around [4:36]  You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod051923.mp3  Thank you for your kind support - I couldn't publish the Deadpod without your help! 

Happy Cinco de Mayo! As we roll into the first weekend in May, I wanted to bring out the customary tribute to the Kentucky Derby with a fine 'The Race Is On'. This show does that as well as pays homage to the new, fat,  'Here Comes Sunshine' release from Grateful Dead Productions (Here Comes Sunshine from Dead.net). This show does both, although it takes place in early spring of 1973, rather than in May.  This is a huge show - the first set alone has 17 songs that take over one hour and forty minutes of  prime Dead. There are too many highlights to mention. As most of you know I love the sound of the band during this period. I invite you to pay attention to Bill's work here - it really sparkles!   Of course there is 'The Race Is On', and a nice 'Here Comes Sunshine'. But I enjoy Donna on 'You Ain't Woman Enough', and just when you think that they must need a break after a fine 'China>Rider' they roll into a 15 minute 'Playin' In The Band' to close the set..    Grateful Dead Utica Memorial Auditorium Utica, NY 3/21/1973 - Wednesday One     [1:39:37] Bertha [5:32] Me And My Uncle [2:57] Wave That Flag [5:30] Looks Like Rain [7:35] Tennessee Jed [7:34] Box Of Rain [4:46] You Ain't Woman Enough [2:59] Jack Straw [4:37] Row Jimmy [7:38] Beat It On Down The Line [2:58] Here Comes Sunshine [8:05] The Race Is On [2:44] Loser [6:33] El Paso [4:09] China Cat Sunflower [7:18] > I Know You Rider [4:31] Playing In The Band [15:11] You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod050523.mp3  We'll enjoy set 2 next week...  " "Well hop in the hack turn on the key Pop in the clutch let the wheels roll free Come on honey, let me sing them away Come on honey, let me sing them away Oh, honey, let me sing your blues away"  

Well, I think that groundhog saw his shadow, but I've got a show for you this week that is sure to warm you up.. this one comes from way back in 1970 - from February 28, 1970 in San Francisco. While this was probably one long set, I'm going to play part 1 this week and part 2 next week.  The show starts with an unusual 'Lovelight' to open, and it has a different sound to it in this spot, a bit more uptempo from the start, but quite fun to hear. After going into a 'Me & My Uncle' and 'Cumberland Blues' Jerry announces that they want to bring things 'down' a bit with some acoustic numbers. The next three tunes are just lovely renditions of 'Monkey & The Engineer', 'Little Sadie' and 'Black Peter'. The rest of the set is electric, starting with a smoking 'China>Rider'. Jerry slows it down a bit again with 'High Time' but we'll end this week's Deadpod with the always delightful 'Dire Wolf'.  Grateful Dead Family Dog at the Great Highway San Francisco, CA 2/28/1970 - Saturday One Turn On Your Love Light [#12:47] > Me And My Uncle [3:02][0:11] Cumberland Blues [4:53][2:06] Monkey And The Engineer [1:40][0:27] Little Sadie [2:47] > Black Peter [8:35] Tuning [0:43] China Cat Sunflower [3:13] > Jam [3:09] > I Know You Rider [4:20] > High Time [6:35] > Dire Wolf [4:35][0:10]  You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod020323.mp3 Thanks for listening!

 As we countdown the minutes until 2023, you should enjoy this gem of a show from 33 years ago - December 30, 1989. I don't believe I'm engaging in hyperbole if I say this is a great second set from this period of the band's history. There's not a bad song here. Jerry smokes his leads in 'Jack Straw' and 'I Know You Rider'. This 'Estimated Prophet is one of the best ever. I even dare say the drums and space, with Airto, is one of the best you'll hear.  I'm a sucker for a great 'Standing on the Moon' and Jerry delivers on this one.This is one of those shows that makes me wish for time travel. I hope you enjoy it!   Grateful Dead Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena Oakland, CA 12/30/1989 - Saturday Two     Jack Straw [5:58] > China Cat Sunflower [5:26] > I Know You Rider [5:12] Estimated Prophet [12:34] > Terrapin Station [13:51] > Jam [1:51] % Drums [#11:#32] (1) > Space [7:47] > I Will Take You Home [4:18] > The Other One [10:18] (2) > Standing On The Moon [7:57] > One More Saturday Night [4:02] Encore     It's All Over Now, Baby Blue [6:43] Comments     (1) with Airto (2) { theme [2:40] verse 1 [0:41] theme [5:02] verse 2 [0:40] theme [1:15] }   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod122322.mp3   Have a safe and very happy New Year!  thank you for all your support this last year my friends.. 

In this week's episode of 36 From The Vault, we celebrate the Series Finale of Dick's Picks as well as the Series Finale of 36 From The Vault. Featuring a complete show from Philadelphia, PA on 9/21/72, we also hear segments of 9/3/72 from Boulder, CO. One of the greatest Dick's Picks of all time, it's a fitting conclusion to the series and yet another showcase of the brilliance of September 1972.Disc One features the majority of Set One from 9/21/72 which includes a brilliant “Bird Song” as well a stunning take on “Loser.” A loose and vibey “China Cat Sunflower>I Know You Rider” showcases the standards heavy Set I played with exceptional verve. Disc Two straddles Set One and Two from 9/21/71 and is highlighted by an outstanding “Playing In The Band” closer before “He's Gone>Truckin'” brings us into the second frame. An elongated 4+hr show, the staple of Disc Three is an absolutely incredible “Dark Star>Morning Dew.” Nearly 50min of stunning music, including 35+min of deep 1972 jamming, this is one of the greatest pieces of music released in the entire Dick's Picks series. Disc Four closes out the Spectrum show before giving us a three song snapshot from Folsom Field with “He's Gone> The Other One> Wharf Rat.” And with that, we've finally reached the end of the Dick's Picks series.

In this week's episode of 36 From The Vault, we visit 1971 for the very first time since Dick's Picks Vol. 2, for a very special set of shows, unheard of by any fan until 2005. Featuring the complete shows from 8/7/71 in San Diego, CA and 8/24/71 in Chicago, IL, along with snippets of 8/6/71 in Hollywood, CA, it's a fascinating peek into the evolving nature of The Dead on the cusp of their 1972 renaissance period.Disc One features the complete first set from 8/24 + the “Truckin'” Set II Opener. Disc One is highlighted by a brilliant “Hard To Handle,” making its Dick's Picks debut. On Disc Two we hear a tight take on “China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider” plus a stunning “Sing Me Back Home.” The highlight might very well be the incredible jam out of “Going Down The Road Feelin' Bad” which then segues into “Johnny B Goode.”Disc Three picks up the thread in Chicago and features a gorgeous cut of Pigpen's “Empty Pages,” alongside a still-in-progress “Brown-Eyed Women.” Later, “Not Fade Away -> GDTRFB -> NFA” shines in the fusion between country jammin' and punkish psychedelia. Disc Four closes the set with a segment from the 8/6 show in Hollywood and features some of the only improv of the set in the way of “The Other One -> Me & My Uncle -> The Other One.” A haunting “Morning Dew” leads to a 25min “Lovelight” closer which shines a light on the wonders of Pigpen in the twilight of his life. 36 from the Vault is a production of Osiris Media.

 This week's Deadpod comes from the famous 'Day on the Green' #1 at Oakland Stadium on June 8, 1974.  This first set of this 'Wall of Sound' show, features less jamming than will be coming up in set 2, but still some wonderful playing, highlighted by some great contributions from Keith and Phil. I particularly enjoy the stand-alone Scarlet and the Greatest Story Ever Told!     Grateful Dead Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium Oakland, CA 6/8/1974 - Saturday     One     The Promised Land [3:12] ; Brown Eyed Women [4:36] ; Me And Bobby McGee [5:44] ; Scarlet Begonias [5:24] ; Mexicali Blues [3:30] ; It Must Have Been The Roses [5:06] ; Me And My Uncle [2:53] ; Tennessee Jed [8:00] ; Greatest Story Ever Told [#5:14] ; China Cat Sunflower [8:22] > I Know You Rider [5:25] ; Around And Around [5:01]  You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod060322.mp3  Sorry for the sort intro but I'm a bit under the weather this week.  Thanks for your kind support. 

One of my favorite tours, the Spring tour of 1980 will give us one more fine show on this week's Deadpod. From the old Boston Garden on May 12, 1980 the boys shook the rafters on this Monday night with a rocking first set.  They come out blazing with a great 'Jack Straw>Alabama Getaway>El Paso' opening trifecta. While this is an unusual combo, Jerry and Brent in particular shine on these opening tunes. A nice 'Althea' follows, then Bobby takes the lead on 'Lazy Lightning> Supplication'. We get a short but sweet Brent number in 'Far From Me' before Bobby takes us back down to Minglewood. The closing China>Rider is excellent, highlighted for me, by Jerry's emotion when he is on that northbound train.  Grateful Dead Boston Garden Boston, MA 5/12/1980 - Monday     One     Jack Straw [5:21] > Alabama Getaway [4:53] > El Paso [4:12] Althea [8:16] Lazy Lightnin' [3:22] > Supplication [4:44] Far From Me [3:37] New Minglewood Blues [7:08] China Cat Sunflower [5:04] > I Know You Rider [6:07]  You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod052022.mp3   Thanks for your kind support, and stay in touch!

This week we go back to some good ol' Grateful Dead from December 1970. The boys are young and full of spunk on this one as they run through some of their early numbers. Pigpen is in fine form here and the 'Hard to Handle' is classic. The 'Deep Elem' has a unique and very pleasant arrangement to my ears. 'Cumberland Blues' showcases Phil's talents as always and a great China>Rider could be the highlight of the set. For a tape from 1970 this one sounds really good, I hope you enjoy it!    Grateful Dead Legion Stadium El Monte, CA 12/27/70 - Sunday     One - 1:15:14 Tuning [0:24] Truckin' [8:30][0:24] Mama Tried [2:44][0:59] Hard To Handle [8:44][0:28] Deep Elem Blues [7:21][0:24] Sugar Magnolia [5:21][0:27] Brokedown Palace [6:04][0:33] Cumberland Blues [5:10][0:07]%[0:07] It Hurts Me Too [5:10#][0:06] Me And My Uncle [3:11][0:51] China Cat Sunflower [3:20] > Jam [3:28] > I Know You Rider [3:28][0:18]%[0:40] Casey Jones [5:20][0:11]  You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod121721.mp3  I hope everyone is healthy and doing well as we head into Christmas week!  thank you so much for your kind support! 

 I think anytime I come across an excellent sounding tape from 1970 it is a real treat. There are so few great tapes from that year and the band is having so much fun that when I do I want to share. So this week here is one from the Fillmore East on November 16, 1970.  There are some anomalies - there is some Elton John music playing through the house PA at one point - don't freak out ! :) I had to leave it in just to keep the atmosphere of the venue and the date.   I love hearing Pigpen here as well as the energy which just explodes through this music.  I hope you dig it too..   Grateful Dead Fillmore East New York, NY 11/16/70 Partial Show Bill Graham intro>Casey Jones                        [05:01] Me and My Uncle                                      [04:37] House P.A.

Happy Halloween Weekend!  I think we have a great Deadpod to share this week with the second set from the show on October 28, 1979 at the Cape Cod Coliseum in South Yarmouth MA.  This one starts with a really great China>Rider, the energy is off the charts and I really love hearing the Phil bombs and the Jerry's fan outs in Rider. This one is bound to bring a smile and make you wish you were shaking your bones! They follow with a most excellent Samson and Delilah (being Sunday:) and only show it down a bit with the Ship of Fools that follows. Neverfear, a massive 'Playin In the Band' follows with plenty of intricate interplay and jamming.  A fairly short drums and space leads into a 'Stella Blue' then they close things out with a 'Sugar Magnolia' followed by a 'US Blues' encore.  Great stuff.. I hope you enjoy it!      Grateful Dead Cape Cod Coliseum South Yarmouth, MA  10/28/79 - Sunday      Two     China Cat Sunflower [7:20] > I Know You Rider [7:25] ; Samson And Delilah [7:35] ; Ship Of Fools [7:40] ; Playing In The Band [19:08] > Drums [7:#23] > Space [4:12] > Stella Blue [8:27] > Sugar Magnolia [8:27] Encore     U.S. Blues [5:26]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod102921.mp3    Have a safe and spectacular Halloween!  Be well and thank you for your kind support!

This week we stay on the Continent for a show that took place on October 12, 1981 at the Olympia Halle in Munich, West Germany during the band's Fall European Tour. For the most part this is quite an excellent recording, although it does have a couple patches..  They come out firing on an up-tempo 'Jack Straw', then Garcia delivers a more laid back selection with a pretty 'Candyman'. The 'Little Red Rooster' that follows is one of my favorite versions of this tune they delivered - check it out! Brent is all over these songs, if you are a fan you're going to enjoy this set. Some other highlights include an insane 'Passenger' and the set closing 'China>Rider' .. don't miss this one.      Grateful Dead Olympia Halle Munich, West Germany 10/12/81 - Monday One     Jack Straw [6:02] ; Candyman [6:33] > Little Red Rooster [8:21] ; Cumberland Blues [5:17] ; Beat It On Down The Line [2:57] ; Ramble On Rose [7:32] ; (1) Mama Tried [2:30] > Mexicali Blues [2:50#] ; Althea [9:12] ; Passenger [5:09] ; China Cat Sunflower [7:46] > I Know You Rider [5:59]    You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod092421.mp3    Thanks so much for your kind support!  Be well and keep on..   

This week's Deadpod features the fine recording of the second set of the band's performance on September 20, 1974 in Paris France.  This one is pretty sweet all the way through, starting with 'China Cat>I Know You Rider'. The 'Big River' that follows is nicely up tempo. Another highlight for me is the 'Brokedown Palace' which is placed right in the center of the set and features some great closing vocals. 'Truckin' is the most exploratory moment of the set, with Billy alternating with Phil and Jerry, to get out to some deep space, before returning back to Earth as they enter in a somewhat shorter 'Eyes of the World'. Straight ahead rocking Dead closes the set which I hope you'll find as enjoyable as I did.   Grateful Dead Palais des Sports Paris, France 9/20/74 - Friday     Two     China Cat Sunflower [9:42] > I Know You Rider [5:01] ; Big River [5:10] ; Brown Eyed Women ; Greatest Story Ever Told [4:30] ; Brokedown Palace ; Truckin' [17:45] > Eyes Of The World [16:04] > Not Fade Away [11:#10] > Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad [7:00] > One More Saturday Night [2:40#] Encore      U.S. Blues   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod091721.mp3  thanks for listening and for your kind support of the Deadpod!   

We have a great second set for your Labor Day weekend enjoyment! This one is from the Greek Theater on August 19, 1989. This one certainly goes against the old thought that the band didn't really jam it out at the Greek.. We start with a fine 'China>Rider'.. the transition really catches fire! A wonderful opener, which then leads right into 'Playin' In the Band'.. the jamming here into a long, pretty, 'Uncle John's' is quite exploratory.  Always a delight, this version of 'Uncle John's' is pretty straight-ahead but nicely paced and sung. The transition into Drums>Space is quite well done. Space is quite exploratory and the accounts which I read say that Candace's lights and effects sync'd quite well to create the spaceship effect :)  The transition into a smoking 'Other One' is on point, including a great Phil bomb.

In this week's episode we join the Dead in early 1974 for the very first Wall of Sound show. Just five shows removed from the Dick's Picks one selection, we hear the band in a loose, soundchecky vibe, as they work through the kinks of their revolutionary PA, and begin to dip their toes in the wild and exploratory sounds of 1974. One of the most laid-back Dick's Picks ever, it's a great warts & all peek into the Dead on the cusp of one of their most experimental & challenging years. Disc One is a trot through some DP standards, here played with space and patience in a way that fits the airiness of the Wall Of Sound they were plugged into. We hear the big machine slowly turn on in a choogly “US Blues” before great takes on “Brown-Eyed Women” and “Black-Throated Wind” settle everyone in. The debut of “Scarlet Begonias” and “Cassidy” prelude a truly 1974 take on “China Cat Sunflower > I Know You Ride” before a gorgeous “Weather Report Suite” closes out the set. Disc Two is anchored by an emotive, 45min palindrome segment which reads: “Playing In The Band -> Uncle John's Band -> Morning Dew -> Uncle John's Band -> Playing In The Pand.” The raw power of the band in 1974 is heard clearly here, while their sectional jamming of Fall 1973 is on full display as well. The set ends with some standard takes on out of place tunes, while “Wharf Rat” serves as the emotional climax we all needed during the set. The seeds of the band we'd hear on full display in Dick's Picks 7 and 12 is here in its earliest origins. 36 from the Vault is a production of Osiris Media.

In this week’s episode we jump back in time to February 1968 for a pair of shows - unheard prior to their Dick’s Picks Release - from the King’s Beach Bowl in King’s Beach, California. Primordial Dead. We hear the band working through a number of tunes that would find their way onto Anthem Of The Sun while experimenting with dynamic-less jamming. As Steve notes at the top, this show kicks off at 11 before ending up at 35. It’s a wild ride. Disc One opens with a near-20min jam off “Viola Lee Blues” and doesn’t look back. Both discs in this set flow with thematic precision & youthful vigor that defines the overall period for the dead. From there, we hear Pigpen croon on “Hurts Me Too” before segues take over in “Dark Star -> China Cat Sunflower -> The Eleven> Turn On Your Lovelight” and finally a wild “Born Crosseyed -> Spanish Jam.” In Disc Two we hear the early power of “Morning Dew” before Pigpen lets loose again in a massive “Good Morning Little School Girl.” From there we’re back into the segues, as we hear part of the band’s Anthem Of The Sun segment in “That’s It For The Other One -> New Potato Caboose -> Alligator -> China Cat Sunflower -> The Eleven -> Alligator> Caution -> Feedback.” The volume closes with noise & sonic energy as the visceral power of the Grateful Dead comes through with tape hiss, piss, and vinegar. We’re not yet at the foundation of The Dead, we’re somewhere just before the Live Dead/Workingman’s Dead/American Beauty era that would set the band up for their 25yr period of greatness. The sounds are weird, the jams are heavy, and the songs aren’t fully formed. We can hear The Dead in there, ready to break out of their shell. 36 from the Vault is production of Osiris Media.

In this week’s episode we dive back into Fall 1973 Dead for an exploration of Dick’s Picks Vol. 19 from October 19, 1973 at the Fairgrounds Arena in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. A single-show snapshot of The Dead as they launched into their lauded Fall 1973 Tour, we hear the musical explorations and immediate brilliance which would lead to two previous Dick’s Picks releases in Vol. 1 and Vol. 14. Disc One features some quality, albeit slowed down, performances of some of the band’s favorite tracks from the era, with excellent takes on “Sugaree” and “Tennessee Jed.” Disc Two kick’s off with a wild, near-20min take on “Playin’ In The Band” alongside a fiery take on “China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider.” Disc Three is the gem of the release, with a 25min “Dark Star -> Mind Left Body Jam” kicking things off before moving into “Morning Dew” and a hot “Sugar Magnolia''. A double encore closes out the release with a phenomenal ‘73 “Eyes Of The World” moving into “Stella Blue” before “Johnny B Goode” sends us on our way with a Berry Bookend. It’s a great way to jump back into Season 3 of 36 From The Vault!36 from the Vault is production of Osiris Media. It is edited and produced and mastered by Brian Brinkman.

Here's a fine set of music for your Friday courtesy of the Grateful Dead back on February 22, 1974.We continue from last week with the second of three sets that the band favored us with to begin their quintessential 1974 tour. A fine recording here captures the nuances of Keith on Piano and of course the rest of the band's interplay which is especially notable on the wild 'Truckin' and the jams that follow. 'The Race is On' is a perfect way to bring in Spring, and don't overlook the 'China>Rider'; of course you're familiar with it, but this is a most excellent version.      Grateful Dead Winterland Arena San Francisco, CA 2/22/74 - Friday     Two     Tennessee Jed [7:49] ; Me And My Uncle [2:58] ; Ship Of Fools [5:31] ; The Race Is On [3:03] ; China Cat Sunflower [8:51] > I Know You Rider [5:26] ; Truckin' [7:47] > Nobody's Fault But Mine [3:07] > Jam [2:29] > Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad [6:14]     You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod030521.mp3    thank you for your support.  Let's practice kindness when we can, and we always can

 It's a new year but I've decided to go *way* back for some primal Dead on this week's Deadpod.  This comes to us from January 17th, 1968 at the Carousel Ballroom in San Francisco. What a treasure of early/classic tunes we have here! Now I'll admit, the sound is sometimes muddy and the vocals are at times less than clear.. however give the age and provinance of this recording I thought it very worth listening to and hope you enjoy it as well.  Some of the highlights of course are Pigpen on the Lovelight, and check out the fast pacing throughout. Jerry sounds so different on China Cat! I always love hearing the old 'New Potato Caboose' and 'Born Cross-eyed', but what is probably the highlight is the great almost 16 minute 'Spanish Jam'.  The sound is psychedelic throughout, and if you can overlook the flaws I think you will enjoy this return to some of the roots of our favorite band!    Grateful Dead Carousel Ballroom San Francisco, CA 1/17/68 - Wednesday     One     Turn On Your Love Light [15:22] % Dark Star [#4:48] > China Cat Sunflower [4:04] > The Eleven [10:01] > New Potato Caboose [8:30] > Born Cross-Eyed [2:34] > Spanish Jam [15:47]   Two      Beat It On Down The Line [2:52] ; Morning Dew [7:43] ; Cryptical Envelopment > The Other One > Cryptical Envelopment [10:05] ; Good Morning Little Schoolgirl [13:49]    You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod012221.mp3   Thanks for your kind support of the Deadpod!  ... and leave it on!   

 Long considered a classic show, I decided to start off our November here on the Deadpod with this gem from 1972.. from November 19th in Houston Texas. While this tape does have some faults I think overall it is well worth a listen.. The band was originally scheduled to play this show with the Allman Brothers, but the tragic death of bassist Barry Oakley the prior week left them to fill the evening alone - and they more than did..  The opening 'Bertha' suffers from poor mixing but that clears up in time.. nice versions of Uncle, Sugaree and BIODTL follow but things heat up with a wonderful 'Bird Song'. A still relatively new 'Black-Throated Wind' is quite entertaining. Another highlight is one of the best versions of both 'Box of Rain' and 'Tomorrow is Forever'.. Of course the 20 minute long 'Playin' In The Band' is a highlight for any of us who enjoy the spaces the band explores..      Grateful Dead Hofheinz Pavilion - University of Houston Houston, TX 11/19/72 - Sunday     One     Bertha ; Me And My Uncle ; Sugaree [6:47] ; Beat It On Down The Line [3:02] ; Bird Song [10:44] ; Black Throated Wind [6:28] ; Don't Ease Me In [3:10] ; Mexicali Blues [3:20] ; Box Of Rain [4:40] ; Tomorrow Is Forever [5:21] ; Big River [4:07] ; China Cat Sunflower [7:04] > I Know You Rider [4:46] ; Playing In The Band [20:12] ; Casey Jones [5:48]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod110620.mp3 Thank you for your support of the Deadpod !

In this week’s episode we explore Dick’s Picks Vol. 16 from the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco, CA on November 7 and 8, 1969. PRIMAL DEAD! Coming just a few weeks shy of the Altamont Festival & the end of the 1960’s, we hear The Dead in a period of growth and transition. Just three months later they’ll be performing what many consider their greatest shows of all time (2/13-14/70 at the Fillmore East), we hear the seeds of that show, while also taking a reflective look back at their thematic brilliance of the 1960s.In Disc One, we hear an early, up-beat & extended take on “Dire Wolf,” a fiery “China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider,” and the first ever “Cumberland Blues.” Disc Two is up there with the best of the entire series as “Dark Star” jams deep before transitioning into a stunning segment which reads: “-> The Other One -> Dark Star -> Uncle John’s Band Jam -> Dark Star -> St. Stephen -> The Eleven.” Displaying their fluidity during the era, while also preluding some of their lengthy excursions from the early 70’s, it’s a monumental jam segment & should be a standard CD in every Deadhead’s car. Finally, in Disc Three, we throw the reigns to Pigpen while hearing some of the wildest psychedelic/blues jamming in Dead history. 36 from the Vault is production of Osiris Media.

This week we set the way-back machine to 1972, and travel to Waterbury CT, for a show the band played on September 23, 1972. The first set, which we will hear this week, while fairly standard for the period is still quite long compared to later day Dead sets.  The start off with a still-new 'Big River' and I think this is a fine opener, shame they didn't leave it here more often.. There are a passel of great standards here in the first set, including Sugaree, a speedy 'Friend of the Devil', a very nice 'China>Rider' and a wonderful 'Bird Song' (aren't all '72 Bird Songs' wonderful?).  There is some silly if unintelligible banter  before 'El Paso' and they boys leave us with one very exploratory jam in the set closing 'Playin' in the Band' - listen to how Garcia stretches this one out.      Grateful Dead Palace Theatre Waterbury, CT 9/23/72 - Saturday     posters     tickets, passes & laminates One - 1:36:00     Big River [4:41] ; Sugaree [7:21] ; Mexicali Blues [3:27] ; Friend Of The Devil [3:19] ; Black Throated Wind [6:41] ; China Cat Sunflower [7:36] > I Know You Rider [5:26] ; Me And My Uncle [2:58] ; Tennessee Jed [7:40] ; Jack Straw [4:53] ; Bird Song [10:11] ; El Paso [4:29] ; Deal [4:15] ; Playing In The Band [17:55]  You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod091820.mp3  Thank you for your kind support of the Deadpod!  "Seasons change and roses die...

Welcome back to Season 2 of 36 from the Vault: SUMMER TOUR! In Episode 13 we explore Dick’s Picks Vol. 12, from the Providence Civic Center in Providence, RI on June 26, 1974 and the Boston Garden in Boston, MA on June 28, 1974. A return to the wondrous year of 1974, as well as the compilation format in the DP series, this is a fan favorite, and one of the strongest versions to date. Filled with rare tracks and massive jams, it’s one of the more unique versions in the series, and a perfect snapshot of where The Dead were in Summer 1974. Kicking things off with an extended “China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider” sets the tone for the collection. Rounding out disc one with a 50-min segment that reads: “Truckin’ -> The Other One -> Spanish Jam -> Wharf Rat -> Sugar Magnolia” concludes one of the best single discs The Dead have ever released. Later we hear a snippet of the experimental jam in “Seastones” before another incredible 50min segment of “Weather Report Suite -> Jam -> US Blues” highlights the third disc. All in all it’s a truly thematic volume which showcases The Dead’s successes with The Wall Of Sound as well as their heavy focus on improvisation in 1974. Steven and Rob focus on the eternal greatness of “China>Rider,” the brilliance of compilation Dick’s Picks, the desire to hear a full “Seastones,” the band’s impending hiatus, and the beauty of mid-70’s Warren Beatty’s hair, seen best in the film “The Parallax View.” 36 from the Vault is production of Osiris Media.

Welcome to Season 2 of 36 from the Vault: SUMMER TOUR! In Episode 12 we explore Dick’s Picks Vol. 12, from The Stanley Theater in Jersey City, NJ on September 27, 1972. Our first 1972 show in the series - and the first of three from September ‘72 in the larger Dick’s Picks Cannon, this is one of the best full shows we’ve heard thus far. Filled with great song selections, and huge jams, this is a peek into the world of The Dead post-Europe, post-Pigpen, as they were incorporating more jazz and psychedelia into their jams, and were fully connected behind the drumming of Bill Kreutzmann. The show opens with a rare “Morning Dew.” Typically a Set II closer, its appearance here overshadows Set I with an ominous feel. Later, “Bird Song” drifts like a dream before the set ends in wild fashion with a ripping “China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider” followed by an abstract take on “Playin’ In The Band. In Set II “He’s Gon” jams in a focused & medidative style before “Dark Star” hooks up for an ethereal and breezy take on the expansive jam vehicle. Elsewhere, “Cumberland Blues” rips unexpectedly, while “Attics Of my Life” offers the emotional resolution needed following a show like this. Steven and Rob focus on the impact of Europe & shows like Veneta on the band in 1972, and the transition they were about to go through as they moved into 1973 & 1974, two renowned years in Grateful Dead history. 36 from the Vault is production of Osiris Media.

Welcome to Season 2 of 36 From The Vault: SUMMER TOUR! In Episode 11 we explore Dick’s Picks Vol. 10, from The Winterland in San Francisco, CA on December 29 at 30, 1977. A celebratory volume that checks a lot of boxes fans had been asking for through the first ten volumes of the series. The show feels like a party at The Winterland as the nights tick off from one of the most accomplished years in their history. Featuring outstanding versions of “Jack Straw” and “Sugaree” in Set I, it also sees “Loser” make its DP Debut. In Set II, the band weaves together a suite within “Playing In The Band” before dropping their first “China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider” since 1974. Encoring with “Terrapin Station” was a special nod to the venue and the year. And as a special treat, we got a snippet from December 30, in the form of “Estimated Prophet,” a fantastic “Eyes Of The World,” “St. Stephen” and “Sugar Magnolia.”Steven and Rob focus on the aura of The Winterland, the impact of 1977 on their sound, the transition to the 1980s, the impact of bustouts on The Dead’s shows, and the greatness of Linda Ronstadt.36 from the Vault is production of Osiris Media.

This week we get a second set that is almost as hot as the weather around here this week - it comes to us from July 1st 1980 in San Diego California.  An excellent China>Rider opens the set and contains some of my favorite jamming of the evening.. the China cat jams from Garcia in particular are noteworthy, as is Brent's contributions.  A rare 2nd set Peggy-O follows CC Rider, then we are treated to an early Brent contribution of 'Far From Me'.  The boys take off from there with some great combos the rest of the way.. I love the Wharf Rat in particular but the playing throughout is full of energy and emotion.. I hope you enjoy it..  They return for a double encore .. featuring 'Alabama Getaway' and of course, 'Johnny B Goode'..          Grateful Dead San Diego International Sports Arena San Diego, CA 7/1/80 - Tuesday Two     China Cat Sunflower [8:09] > I Know You Rider [6:25] > C C Rider [6:57] ; Peggy-O[7:27] ; Far From Me [3:59] ; Uncle John's Band [7:39] > Playing In The Band [10:52] > Drums [9:05] > Space [7:28] > Truckin' [7:53]>  Wharf Rat [10:48] > Around And Around [4:14] > Good Lovin' [7:17] Encores: Alabama Getaway [5:11] > Johnny B. Goode [4:15]    You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod071020.mp3   Thank you for your support of the Deadpod!    Be well and take care of yourselves!       

This week on the Deadpod we have another monumental set from the seminal year of 1974. This week of course from the show in Springfield MA, on June 30, 1974.  Following Seastones, the boys came out with a fine 'China>Rider' a combo often used to good effect as a second set opener. The transition is quite fine. 'Big River' follows and shows the spark it had which made it an excellent second set tune. A stand-alone 'Scarlet Begonias' lets Jerry stretch out a bit next. The meat of this set however is the 'Truckin'>Eyes>Stella Blue'.. as always during this period 'Truckin' lets the boys take things to unexplored dimensions, but the 'Eyes' here is perhaps my favorite. 'Stella Blue' is sung very well also. A strong trifecta of 'Not Fade Away>Goin' Down the Road>One More Saturday Night' closes the set, which even without an encore comes in at just slightly less than two hours.        Grateful Dead Springfield Civic Center Arena Springfield, MA 6/30/74 - Sunday Three     China Cat Sunflower [11:12] > I Know You Rider [5:12] ; Big River [5:00] ; Scarlet Begonias [7:52] ; El Paso [4:06] ; U.S. Blues [5:35] > Truckin' [13:22] > Nobody's Fault But Mine Jam > Eyes Of The World [23:47] > Stella Blue [7:15] ; Not Fade Away [10:24] > Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad [7:34] > One More Saturday Night [4:56]    You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod062620.mp3    Thank you for your kind support of the Deadpod!    'History's page will thus be carved in stone. And we are here, and we are on our own'

This week we feature the second set from a fine late '89 Grateful Dead show - from the Great Western Forum on Sunday, December 10, 1989.  In my opinion the meat of this set comes right out of the gate with a exquisite 'Jack Straw' followed by a wonderful, driven 'China Cat Sunflower'. The 'I Know You Rider' is no slouch either and the combo is, in my opinion the highlight of this set. The always-fun 'Man Smart, Woman Smarter' leads into a rather lengthy Drums and Space. The 'Wheel' comes out of space, but it lacks the spark of some versions. 'I Need a Miracle' follows and despite some hiccups, Jerry brings out 'Stella Blue' and does a respectable version here. 'Good Lovin' closes the set with the crowd on their feet, and the boys leave us with an excellent 'It's All Over Now, Baby Blue' to close out the evening.    Grateful Dead 1989-12-10 Great Western Forum - Inglewood, CA - Sunday Two     Jack Straw [5:31] > China Cat Sunflower [6:52] > I Know You Rider [7:05] % Man Smart (Woman Smarter) [8:31] > Drums [12:20] > Space [7:21] > The Wheel [5:16] > I Need A Miracle [4:53] > Stella Blue [9:07] > Good Lovin' [7:00] Encore     It's All Over Now, Baby Blue [6:09#]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod042420.mp3   Don't forget to follow us on facebook - there I post the info on events such as the Dead's 'Shakedown Street' series of live concerts on Nugs net on Friday night and this week,  Dead & Co. from CitiField with Meyer on the Wolf...    be safe and take care of yourselves and others..    thanks for being here  

Welcome back to 36 from the Vault! In Episode 4 we explore Dick’s Picks Vol. 4, from the Fillmore East in New York City, on February 13 & 14, 1970. We find the Dead at a transitional period in their career, peaking as they move from the psychedelic madness of the 60s into the most remarkable decade of their career. This show is capstoned by a seamless chunk of music: “Dark Star -> That’s It For The Other One -> Turn On Your Lovelight.” Later, we hear a fantastic “China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider,” “Dancing In The Streets,” as well as a wild “Caution (Do Not Stop On The Tracks) -> Feedback.”Steven and Rob focus on the fascinating run of shows The Dead played in early 1970, the band’s transition to perhaps the greatest period of their career, their Sonic Youth jams of the era, Bobby’s phenomenal rhythm work and much more. 36 from the Vault is production of Osiris Media. It is edited and produced by Brian Brinkman, and mastered by Matt Dwyer. All music composed by Amar Sastry, unless otherwise noted. Logo design by Liz Bee Art & Design. The executive producer of 36 from the Vault is RJ Bee. Please consider reviewing this podcast on Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

We start out October with a show from across the pond in London, England on October 3rd, 1981. A well-played, rockin' first set gives a few hints as to the improvisation that will follow in set 2 next week. 'Alabama Getaway' is the opener, not uncommon for the time, and while the sound is a bit dicey at first things clear up nicely for the rest of the set. There's a really nice 'Peggy-O' here, and the 'Little Red Rooster' is a real rocker. 'Bird Song' has some very nice moments from Garcia, and the jam between 'China Cat' and 'I Know You Rider' is quite good as well. Brent is quite featured in the mix throughout, although Bobby's guitar is often a bit too low.       Grateful Dead Rainbow Theater  London, England Date     10/3/81 - Saturday     One     Alabama Getaway > The Promised Land ; Peggy-O ; Me And My Uncle > Big River ; Tennessee Jed > Little Red Rooster ; Bird Song > Looks Like Rain ; China Cat Sunflower > I Know You Rider   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod100419.mp3   I do thank you for listening, and those of you who are able to support the Deadpod!     p.s.

'm hoping that this week's Deadpod will help keep you cool during this hot, hot weather many of us are experiencing this week. This second set starts off with a cover of the Beatles' 'Why Don't We Do It In The Road?' .. clearly a goof, or so I hope :) They get into the real show with a 'China Cat>I Know You Rider' which features some nice work by Jerry and Brent (if a bit speedy :).  'Playin' In The Band' follows with some nice jazzy interludes and flows into a nice 'Uncle John's Band'. Brent follows with one of his darker tunes, 'Don't Need Love' which leads into a quite interesting Drums/Space. They come out of that into the highlight of the set (at least for me) a hauntingly beautiful 'China Doll'. They end with the 'Throwing Stones>Not Fade Away' combo, but return for a great double encore of 'Brokedown Palace' and 'Johnny B. Goode'     Grateful Dead Greek Theater - University of California Berkeley, CA 7/15/84 - Sunday   Two       Why Don't We Do It In The Road [4:07] > China Cat Sunflower [5:30] > I Know You Rider [4:32] ; Playing In The Band [8:31] > Uncle John's Band [11:28] > Don't Need Love [6:45] > Drums [4:39#] > Space [7:26] > China Doll [5:35] > Throwing Stones [9:05] > Not Fade Away [8:57] Encore Brokedown Palace [4:46] ; Johnny B.

While it is still a few days off, since this is the last Deadpod before the big 4th of July holiday I thought it appropriate to bring you a big 'ol party from that date in GD history. This one comes from Manor Downs in Austin Texas on July 4th, 1981.We'll hear the first set this week, which of course starts with 'Jack Straw'... leave it to Bobby to screw up the iconic lyrics :) It's an energetic set, Jerry has some very nice runs on Big River, Tennessee Jed is fine. Loser is always a favorite of mine, and the set-closing China>Rider is sure to please.     Grateful Dead Manor Downs Austin, TX 7/4/81 - Saturday One  Jack Straw [6:00] ; Peggy-O [7:03] ; Me And My Uncle [2:58]> Big River [5:35] ; Loser [6:48] ; Little Red Rooster [8:28] ; Tennessee Jed [8:14]> New Minglewood Blues [6:17] ; China Cat Sunflower [6:45]> I Know You Rider [4:58]    You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod062819.mp3   Had some issues this week with a sump pump which set back my sending out the CDs to the winners of the Aoxomoxoa giveaway.  I'll sure try to get those out this week.   Thanks for your kind support of the Deadpod.   Have a safe and happy 4th of July!
