This week we join the Dead as they play the last show of a 3 show run in Texas during October 1977. This one takes place on the campus of SMU in Dallas Texas on October 15.  The first set opens with a spirited 'Bertha' into 'Good Lovin'. They move into a more laid back mood with 'They Love Each Other' then the 'Mama Tried' into 'Big River' ramps things bck up. A nice 'Ramble on Rose' is marred here with a nasty cut..sorry about that. The 'Peggy O' that follows 'Looks Like Rain' has some very nice vocals, and the set-closing 'Let It Grow' has some nice jamming to close the set.   Grateful Dead Moody Coliseum - Southern Methodist University Dallas, TX 10/15/1977 - Saturday One Bertha--> (7:19) Good Lovin' (7:55) They Love Each Other (8:32) Mama Tried--> (2:34) Big River (6:05) Ramble On Rose// (6:00) Looks Like Rain (9:17) Peggy-O (7:36) Let It Grow (11:27)   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod101725.mp3    I hope you enjoy the show..  btw - if you are on facebook you can join our discussion there at: the Deadpod group.

Looks Like Rain 2 Peter 2:10-22

This week on the Deadpod we have the second set from the band's performance at the beautiful Greek Theater in Berkeley California on August 18, 1989.  This is pretty classic Dead for this high water period of the band, with a groovin' 'Iko Iko' to open things up, followed by the mellow 'Looks Like Rain'. Jerry brings out a classic 'Terrapin Station' leading into a fine Drums and Space. I love the 'Crazy Fingers' out of space, and the 'Stella Blue' in the ballad slot hits just right.  Following the rockin' 'Lovelight' we are treated to a double encore - with 'And We Bid You Goodnight' following a nice 'Black Muddy River'.

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's Deadpod features one of the January shows in the Grateful Dead's history - this one from January 18, 1979 in Providence, Rhode Island. This is a nice first set, energetic, especially for the time period (in a month Keith Godchaux would be leaving), and features some nice versions. I am especially fond of the 'Cassidy' here but there are several excellent tunes in this first set.   Grateful Dead Providence Civic Center Providence, RI  1/18/1979 - Thursday One      The Promised Land [4:22]   They Love Each Other [7:31]   Mama Tried [2:45] > Mexicali Blues [4:10]   Friend Of The Devil [8:10]   Cassidy [4:50]   Jack-A-Roe [4:38]   Looks Like Rain [7:04]   Ramble On Rose [8:15]   New Minglewood Blues [5:29]   Deal [6:47]  You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod011025.mp3  Hope this finds you well and out of harm's way.... thank you for your kind support!  

Let's learn useful Korean expression in English. Today's expression is 비 올 것 같아요 (It looks like rain)

This week the Deadpod travels to January of 1980 for an unusual benefit show that the Dead appeared at for Cambodian refugees in Oakland, along with Jefferson Starship, the Beach Boys and Carlos Santana and John Cippolina.  This is a tight and well played set throughout. The opening 'Jack Straw' into 'Franklin's Tower' is crisp and edgy. 'Minglewood' is a standout as well. I really enjoy all of these, but the 'Playin' is probably the highlight, although the Santana solo in 'Not Fade Away' is a treat as well; its interesting to hear these three great guitarists playing together..    Grateful Dead Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena Oakland, CA  1/13/1980 - Sunday One      Jack Straw [5:42] > Franklin's Tower [11:44] New Minglewood Blues [6:56] Tennessee Jed [8:21] > Looks Like Rain [7:12] > Don't Ease Me In [7:16] Playing In The Band [10:41] > Drums [7:15] > Not Fade Away (1) [14:27] > Sugar Magnolia (1) [7:30] Encore      U.S. Blues [#4:18] Comments     Cambodian Refugee Benefit.

I'm scheduled for open heart surgery next week and I'm not sure when I'll be able to be back here sharing these great songs with you. Don't give up on me as I don't plan to give up.. I'll be back as soon as I am able but in the meantime I'd encourage you to listen to some of the old Deadpods - the entire run is still available..  Keep your light on and thanks my friends for all of your support and for listening.. 

We're ready to catch some rays! This week our host FiG heads to Tampa, Florida for the Grateful Dead's October 26th, 1985 show at the Sun Dome.

This week we go to the wonderful Greek Theater in Berkeley California for the band's performance on May 21, 1982. I think this was one of the better years in terms of the band's history and this is not only a fine recording but a well-played set that I'm sure you'll enjoy.  The first set starts with a 'Bertha>Greatest Story' combo, one that was fairly new at the time. Jerry slows it down with a 'Friend of the Devil' but the 'Uncle'>'Big River' that follows benefits greatly from his nimble guitar. A nice 'Bird Song' flows into Bobby's 'CC Rider', then we have an excellent 'Althea', not only is Jerry in fine voice, but his delivery is just exactly perfect. Bob delivers a nice 'Looks like Rain' and they close with a boppin' 'Might as Well'.      Grateful Dead Greek Theatre - University of California Berkeley, CA 5/21/1982 - Friday One     Bertha [6:35] > Greatest Story Ever Told [3:50] Friend Of The Devil [8:44] Me And My Uncle [2:55] > Big River [5:09] Bird Song [10:45] > C C Rider [7:27] Althea [7:47] Looks Like Rain [7:35] Might As Well [4:01]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod051024.mp3 Thank you friends for listening and for your kind support. 

"Neil Young's 2024 Tour with Crazy Horse: A Legendary Performance"Larry Mishkin discusses the creation of the song "The Music Never Stopped" by Bob Weir and John Perry Barlow. Weir explains his collaborative process with Barlow, where they developed lyrics together over the phone, inspired by Barlow's description of a scene from Wyoming. Weir also reflects on the importance of lyrical and musical cohesion, and the song's debut and history of performances, including at venues like the Great American Music Hall and the Palladium. The discussion transitions to Neil Young's recent tour with Crazy Horse, highlighting the band's performance and Young's energy despite his age. He also mentions upcoming events and concludes with a focus on the Grateful Dead's performance of "St. Stephen" and other songs from 47 years ago. Grateful DeadApril 30, 1977  (47 years ago, tomorrow)PalladiumNYCGrateful Dead Live at The Palladium on 1977-04-30 : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet ArchiveAudience Tape This is another good show from 1977, but the recording quality is actually not bad considering this is an audience recording.  Since then the show has been commercially released as the first volume of the Grateful Dead Download Series if you want to hear the crisper soundboard recording.Highlights from this show are the first set Mississippi Half Step and even Looks Like Rain is played with a passion that is moving even if the song always is not. In the second set, the Dead start off with a Scarlet Begonias>Fire on the Mountain (pretty good), swing into a fun mid-set Good Lovin (common for that time, but for the last 15 years, it was almost always a set closer as an alternative to Sugar Mag) or an encore tune (send everyone home with a smile), Friend of the Devil , Estimated Prophet.  And then they blow the doors off the place with a St. Stephen>Not Fade Away>Stella Blue>St. Stephen sandwich that must be heard in full to be truly appreciated.  It's pretty awesome to hear Stella Blue transition back into the St. Stephen, an unusual pairing to say the least. Close with a Saturday Night and then yet another 1977 Terrapin Stationencore.   INTRO:                                 Music Never Stopped                                                Track #2                                                0:00 – 1:26                 Hunter Weir tune, released on Blues For Allah (Sept. 1,1975). Bob:  As a lyricist I'm glacially slow. I can generally get the job done, but it takes too damned long. So I like to work with people who have a little more facility with that—you know, John Barlow, Garrett Grant, Robert Hunter.Or I may have a general notion of the color of the rhythm and the harmonic or melodic development, and I'll sit with a guy and we just fire blank verse at each other until we start to corner that color—and then often the song will fall right out of the sky. Other times, I may have no notion of where the song wants to go, in which case I'll let whoever I'm working with surprise me. . . .“The Music Never Stopped” is a song that we wrote over the telephone. I had this business going [plays opening guitar riff, Example 13 below]. So I played this over the phone to John, and he just started spitting stuff at me. The first line came out, “There's mosquitoes on the river / Fish are rising up like birds.” He was living in Wyoming at the time on a ranch, and he started describing a situation that I'd seen with him, where it was late summer on a dry year and things were hot and kind of dull and dead.So where are we going to take this? Well, first I figured the verse is going to have to be twice as long as I originally figured, because if you're starting with an image that thick, you have to get into some detail about it. “It's been hot for seven weeks now / Too hot to even speak now / Did you hear what I just heard?” That last line came after some deliberation. It's a pregnant line, sort of like a leading tone in a harmonic development.The success of the endeavor, if you're working with a lyricist, depends on how closely the lyric marries the music. With Barlow or Gerrit Graham or whoever, there's a lot of back and forth. I guess I get to be the decider, because the words are going to have to come from my lips. And so I have to be able to tell the story.I have to be that character, because my job is to get the hell out of the way and let the character tell the story, musically and lyrically. When I'm standing in front of the microphone, I may look like me, but I'm not.If the character arrives with a really defined face and features, then it's easy for me to do my job.Fun version because almost always a first set closer and here it is opening the show.  Love that.            236 times            First:  August 13, 1975 at Great American Music Hall, San Francisco, CA, USA            Last:  June 28, 1995 at The Palace of Auburn Hills                      The Palladium:  The Palladium (originally called the Academy of Music) was a movie theatre, concert hall, and finally nightclub in New York City. It was located on the south side of East 14th Street, between Irving Place and Third Avenue.Designed by Thomas W. Lamb, it was built in 1927 across the street from the site of the original Academy of Music established by financier Moses H. Grinnell in 1852. Opened as a deluxe movie palace by movie mogul William Fox, the academy operated as a cinema through the early 1970s.Beginning in the 1960s, it was also utilized as a rock concert venue, particularly following the June 1971 closure of the Fillmore East. It was rechristened the Palladium on September 18, 1976, with the Band live radio broadcast,[1] and continued to serve as a concert hall into the following decade.In 1985, the Palladium was converted into a nightclub by Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager, after their success with Studio 54. Japanese architect Arata Isozaki redesigned the building's interior for the club.[2]Peter Gatien owned and operated the club from 1992 until 1997.The Palladium closed in August 1997 following its purchase by New York University.[3] In August 1998, the building was demolished in order to build a twelve-story residence hall that students affectionately referred to as Palladium HalThe Dead also played there when it was called the Academy of Music in a series of seven shows on their way to Europe for the '72 tour.  One of the those shows, the entire March 28, 1972 performance plus selections from March 25, 1972 and March 27, 1972 were released as Dick's Picks Vol. 30This five night Palladium run, of which today's show was the second, is famous for a lot of reasons including the part of 1977 when the Dead put together a string of some of their best shows ever, peaking on May 8, 1977, just over one week later, at Barton Hall in Ithaca, NY.  All five of these shows are well played, great tunes, and a very grooving feel that you can still pick up off of the CD or down load 47 years later.  I had most of these shows on tape and wore them out from so much playing.  Love that they previously released this show as Download Series Vol. 1 and the new Dave's Picks release, No. 50!!, is the May 3, 1977 show including some extra songs from the next night as well as the annual Dave's Picks Bonus Disc that is even more songs from the May 4th show).  If you are not listening to Dave's Picks, you are missing out on quality recordings of some of the best shows ever.How hot was the band, check out this extended jam at the end of ½ Step, the second to last song of the first set (ending with a great Promised Land) and be sure to listen for Jerry and Keith going back and forth throughout this clip:                                             SHOW No. 1:                    Mississippi ½ Step                                                Track #11                                                7:06 – 9:29 Garcia/Huner tune released on Wake of the Flood in 1973.  Also live versions included on Steal Your Face, Dick's Picks Vol. 1, Without a Net and who knows how many other Dick's/Dave's Picks releases, etc.  If you want to hear it, you can find it, easily. First performed July 16, 1972 at Dillon Stadium in Hartford, Connecticut. Followed "Me and My Uncle" and led into "Sing Me Back Home," which closed out the first set. A staple of the repertoire ever since. 236 times (exact same as Music Never stopped!)First:  July 16, 1972 at Dillon Stadium, Hartford, CT, USALast:  July 6, 1995 at Riverport Amphitheater Maryland Heights, MO Music News: Neil Young Tour  SHOW No. 2:                    St. Stephen                                                Track #1                                                              0:00 – 1:49 Blah Blah Blah, everyone knows about St. Stephen.  Dead's Fluffhead apparently.  Because of its true melodic nature and strong lyrics, it existed long outside and after the end of Primal Dead.  Still only played a total of 187 times:                 First:  May 24, 1968 at National Guard Armory, St. Louis, MO, USA            Last:  October 31, 1983 at Marin Veteran's Memorial Auditorium, San RafaelBut post Dead hiatus year, they started making song sandwiches often based around this song.  This four song sandwich at the end of the show is so good that I had to feature all of it at the expense of some other really great tunes like Bertha, Peggy O, Looks Like Rain, Promised Land, and any tune in the second set.  This sandwich is just too cool to ignore or not give it proper due. Here is the first layer change: SHOW No. 3:                    St. Stephen>Not Fade Away                                                St. Stephen                                                Track #19                                                4:10 – end                                                INTO                                                Not Fade Away                                                Track #20                                                0:00 – 1:15 Great switch out of St. Stephen and into an amazing opening jam of NFA. I wanted to try and catch the opening lyrics but the jam went on for almost 4 minutes which is too long even for these extended clips. MJ News Check out this next transition that they pull off seamlessly: SHOW No. 4:                    Not Fade Away>Stella Blue                                                Not Fade Away                                                Track #20                                                14:15 – end                                                INTO                                                Stella Blue                                                Track #21                                                0:00 – 1:30 Beautiful how they downshift on cue from the raucous NFA into the gentle and beautiful ballad mode required for Stella Blue.  Jerry's voice is so strong and clear.  Really a treat. Not even getting to the last tune of the encore today.  Not enough time but had to close out the episode with the final sandwich transition, from Stella back into an immediate upbeat St. Stephen that is so strong I told Dan we could not edit out any of it!  What a great (almost ending) to such a great show.   Deadheads walked out knowing there were still 3 more to go!  Like going to bed and already being told the next day is a snow day! Thank you all for listening.  Please be sure to join us next week when I am joined by Rob Bleetstein of Grateful Dead Radio (show host), Pearl Jam radio and he is also the Curator for the New Riders of the Purple Sage.  He is joining us to discuss, among other things, the newly released NRPS live album “Hempsteader”.  If you haven't heard it yet, check it out.  I'm looking forward to hearing from Rob how this was all put together and what the NRSP are up to these days. Also, a Birthday shoutout to very good buddy, Sam who is turning old tomorrow.  At his age, the actual number doesn't matter but we love him anyway. ENCORE:                            Stella Blue>St Stephen                                                Stella Blue                                                Track #21                                                7:50 – end                                                INTO                                                St. Stephen                                                Track #22                                                Start - end .Produced by PodConx Deadhead Cannabis Show - https://podconx.com/podcasts/deadhead-cannabis-showLarry Mishkin - https://podconx.com/guests/larry-mishkinRob Hunt - https://podconx.com/guests/rob-huntJay Blakesberg - https://podconx.com/guests/jay-blakesbergSound Designed by Jamie Humiston - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-humiston-91718b1b3/Recorded on Squadcast

 I think this week's Deadpod brings March in both as a lion and a lamb = this first set from Cleveland on March 3, 1981 has some great rockin' tunes and some sweet ballads to please the most discerning Deadhead.  Don't be put off by the start of 'Feel Like a Stranger' - the audience patch only lasts for a short bit - the rest of this tape is a fine sounding soundboard in which you can hear the interplay between the members most clearly.  A sweet 'Peggy O' follows then a fine 'Me & My Uncle' into 'Big River' highlighted by some nice Garcia work. That continues in the 'Bird Song' that follows.. and leads into 'Looks Like Rain'  -this one builds to a nice crescendo. The rockin' returns with a great 'Big Railroad Blues' - nice work here by Brent. A long 'Little Red Rooster' follows.. Brent adds some nice B3 work here. The set closing 'Deal' ramps things back up properly..    Grateful Dead Cleveland Music Hall Cleveland, OH 3/3/1981 - Tuesday One     Feel Like A Stranger [8:33] Peggy-O [7:49] Me And My Uncle [3:01] > Big River [5:16] Bird Song [11:08] > Looks Like Rain [7:47] Big Railroad Blues [4:50] Little Red Rooster [10:06] > Deal [7:22]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod030124.mp3  All the best my friends.... 

 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 on the Deadpod I've decided to feature the second night from the historic 'From Egypt With Love' run at the Winterland in October of 1978. While the opening 'Sugaree' is patched for about the first minute, don't let that dissuade you this one- the sound is crystal clear throughout afterwards, and the band is listening to each other and the result is a dynamic, lovely evening of music.  Donna Jean in particular provides some lovely backing vocals on "Looks Like Rain' and 'Music Never Stopped'.  Jerry is on point here with several delicious solos as well.   Grateful Dead Winterland Arena San Francisco, CA 10/18/1978 - Wednesday      One      Sugaree [#13:32]   Me And My Uncle [3:06] > Big River [5:48]   Peggy-O [7:45]   Looks Like Rain [8:16]   Stagger Lee [6:15]   New Minglewood Blues [5:53]   Candyman [6:52]   The Music Never Stopped [8:06] You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod100623.mp3    Thank you for your kind support.

Mickey Newbury was born Milton Sims Newbury Jr. in Houston Texas, May 19, 1940 to Maime and Milton Newbury. As a child, he was inseparable from younger brother, Jerry; a friendship that continued throughout his life. In high school, Mickey decided to write songs. As a teenager, he shut himself up in his room, writing poetry and learning to play guitar. He organized a doo-wop group called The Embers.In 1959, Mickey joined the Air Force and was assigned to England for three years. When he returned to the United States, he pursued his dream of being a songwriter. He lived in a '54 Pontiac and traveled around Texas, Tennessee, and Louisiana playing gigs and working on shrimp boats. Eventually he found himself in Nashville, and in 1964, signed a publishing contract with Acuff-Rose. He moved to Nashville in 1965 and about this time, his first child Joe was born. Shortly thereafter, Jimmy Elledge was first to cover a Newbury song, Just as Long as that Someone is You.1966 was the year the music industry noticed Mickey Newbury. Don Gibson had a Top Ten Country hit with Newbury's Funny Familiar Forgotten Feelings, while Tom Jones scored a world hit with the same song. In 1968, Mickey saw huge success; three number one songs and one number five – across four different charts; Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In) on the Pop/Rock chart by the First Edition, SweetMemories on Easy Listening by Andy Williams, Time is a Thief on the R&B chart by Solomon Burke, and Here Comes the Rain Baby on the Country chart by Eddy Arnold. This feat has not been repeated. That year, Mickey's first album, Harlequin Melodies, was released by RCA.Mickey met New Christy Minstrel member Susan Pack on a blind date in 1967 and would not see her again until 1969. Soon thereafter, they were married and living on a houseboat on Old Hickory Lake outside of Nashville. Over the next four years, Mickey released three albums that raised the bar on Music Row. Produced at Cinderella Studios outside of Nashville, and utilizing Nashville's best musicians, Newbury's trilogy of albums - Looks Like Rain, Frisco Mabel Joy and Heaven Help The Child are often referred to as masterpieces.Following the birth of their first child, Chris, in 1973, the Newburys moved to Oregon, to Susan's home town, just down the street from her parents, to raise their family. A daughter, Leah, followed in 1977. In 1980, Mickey was inducted into the Nashville Songwriter's Hall of Fame.During the 80s, Mickey took a break from the music business to concentrate on his growing family and golf. Stephen joined the family in 1983 and Laura was born in 1986. In the early 90's, he started writing, recording, and performing again, encouraged by his friends Bob Rosemurgy, Marty Hall, and Owsley Mannier. In 1995, Mickey's health began to fail, but he continued to produce beautiful music. 1995 to 2002 were some of his most productive years, during which time he almost doubled his catalogue. He also directed his attention to other ventures, beginning work on children's books based on his story-songs. On September 29, 2002 he succumbed to a long time lung disease and passed away in his sleep at home in Springfield, Oregon.Mickey Newbury's songs have been covered by hundreds upon hundreds of artists; over 1,000 covers have been documented. Mickey also recorded 25 albums over 35 years. Though he considered himself a songwriter first and singer second, his own albums are critically acclaimed and highly desired by a very passionate fan base the world over.Many consider him to be the best of the best. Kris Kristofferson says, “God, I learned more about songwriting from

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"  

This week's Deadpod features a fine second set from the band's performance on April 15, 1988 at the Rosemont Horizon in Chicago Illinois.  The band is tight throughout on this night, starting from the opening Bucket, which goes into a very nice 'Crazy Fingers'. Garcia gives a lovely solo here, and it sets the mood for a reflective 'Looks Like Rain' which follows and on which Weir provides a lovely rendition. 'Terrapin Station' follows, and the boys rev this one up as that train pulls into the station! Drums and Space follows (probably with a bit of a cut somewhere here), followed by a slinkly 'Other One'. Bobby follows that with 'I Need a Miracle' which seems a bit out of place but Brent follows with the 'Dear Mr. Fantasy>Hey Jude' combo which was performed quite often during this period. The 'Lovelight' that follows is a perfect counter coming out of that.  Jerry gives the crowd a wonderful encore with 'Knockin' On Heaven's Door' to close the evening.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Grateful Dead Rosemont Horizon Chicago , IL 4/15/1988 - Friday Two     Hell In A Bucket [6:28] > Crazy Fingers [8:05] > Looks Like Rain [8:28] > Terrapin Station [11:31] > Drums [2:15#] > Space [#7:13]> The Other One [5:01] > I Need A Miracle [3:19] > Dear Mr. Fantasy [4:28] > Hey Jude [2:05] > Turn On Your Love Light [5:11] Encore     Knockin' On Heaven's Door [7:37]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod042823.mp3  Thanks for your kind support. 

This week's Deadpod features another fabulous show from 1973. This week's show comes shortly after the death of Ron 'Pigpen' McKernan on the 8th of February 1973, and is the 2nd night of a three night run at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale NY, on March 16, 1973.  Folks this is a massive 14 song first set, and the come out of the gate flying with a high energy 'China>Rider', complete with a great, perhaps the first, 'feelin' groovy' jam in the transition. The new 'Wave That Flag' follows with some nice keyboard work from Keith. A fine version of 'Looks Like Rain' follows, introduced with a nice intro from Phil. There are highlights throughout the rest of this set, including an early version of 'They Love Each Other' but the closing 'Playin' In the Band' is sure to bring some smiles....      Grateful Dead Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum Uniondale, NY 3/16/1973 - Friday One China Cat Sunflower [6:09] > Jam [1:51] > I Know You Rider [4:33] Jack Straw [4:32] Wave That Flag [5:35] Looks Like Rain [7:01] Ramble On Rose [6:23] Box Of Rain [4:43] Beat It On Down The Line [3:17] They Love Each Other [5:28] El Paso [4:34] Row Jimmy [7:58] Mexicali Blues [3:23] Bird Song Playing In The Band  You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod030323.mp3  Keep on rollin' just a mile to go... 

As we head into the New Year, here's a January show, a rarity for the band, from the intimate Uptown Theater in Chicago on January 30th, 1978. While this first set doesn't have the jamming that you'll hear in set 2, it is tight and Jerry's voice is much better than it was earlier in the month. There is some funny back and forth between songs, and the Lazy Lightning is greatly improved by Phil's contributions.   Grateful Dead Uptown Theatre Chicago, IL 1/30/1978 - Monday      One    The Promised Land [4:15]   Dire Wolf [3:30]   Mexicali Blues [3:32] > Big River [5:45]   Brown Eyed Women [5:28]   Looks Like Rain [8:04]   Peggy-O [7:01]   It's All Over Now [7:53]   Deal [5:37]   Lazy Lightnin' [3:22] > Supplication [5:32]  You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:   http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod010623.mp3 Hope you are all well and that you're New Year has started strong! thanks so much for your kind support.

 Here's the second set from the band's performance at Autzen Stadium in Eugene on June 23, 1990.  A rather slow and dreamy 'Eyes of the World' leads us into a great 'Looks Like Rain', Bobby really does it justice here. 'Crazy Fingers' follows and while Jerry's voice is a bit craggy here its still, for me, a pleasure to hear. The band busts it out on the following 'Playin' In the Band' which opens up beautifully into 'Uncle John's Band', then returns for a full-blown 'Playin' Reprise'.  'The Wheel' flows out of space, then after a rocking 'Miracle', Jerry commands us with a powerful 'Morning Dew'.  Being Saturday the obligatory "One More Saturday Night' gets the crowd spinning as the band heads for the exits..    Grateful Dead Autzen Stadium - University of Oregon Eugene, OR 6/23/1990 - Saturday Two Eyes Of The World [15:24] > Looks Like Rain [8:35] > Crazy Fingers [8:24] > Playing In The Band [10:57] > Uncle John's Band % [9:02] > Playing Reprise [2:11] > Drums [8:03] > Space [9:18] > The Wheel [5:32] > I Need A Miracle [5:25] > Morning Dew [10:50] Encore     One More Saturday Night [4:59]     You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod070822.mp3  Thank you for your kind support, and keep a light in your heart during these dark days. 

In this week's episode of 36 From The Vault we find the band just a few weeks past the shocking brilliance of the Dick's Picks Vol. 20 two-show set from Fall 1976, here in Oakland, CA for a pair of opening gigs for The Who from the “Day On The Green” at the Oakland Coliseum Stadium. Two completely day lit shows, we hear the band try to channel energy through surprising segues and upbeat selections, crafting one of the more BBQ appropriate Dick's Picks of the larger series.Diss One, from 10/9, finds us in familiar territory as the Berry bookend opens the show before the greatest Grateful Dead song of all time is played and later “Jed.” The disc is highlighted by a gorgeous outro on “Looks Like Rain” and a loose & jammy “Scarlet Begonias,” just months away from its meeting point with “Fire On The Mountain.” Disc Two is highlighted by a phenomenal “Help -> Slip -> Drums -> Samson -> Slip -> Franklin's” showcasing the brilliant suite in 1976. Disc Three, from 10/10, features some rarities before closing with a wild & gorgeous “Dancin -> Wharf Rat -> Dancin.” Disc Four features another sandwich, with Playin' leading the way this time around: “Playin -> Drums -> The Wheel -> Space -> The Other One -> Stella -> Playin.” On the whole it's a bit of an underwhelming volume in terms of transcendent moments, but it showcases The Dead in a more traditional 70's classic rock setting, while giving many dreams of what “Space” would sound like at 3pm.36 from the Vault is a production of Osiris Media. It is edited, produced and mastered by Brian Brinkman. All music composed by Amar Sastry, unless otherwise noted. Logo design by Liz Bee Art & Design.

In this week's episode of 36 From The Vault we find the band prepping for their Europe ‘72 tour with a run of shows at the Academy of Music in New York City. Featuring a set with Bo Diddley, this volume highlights the emergence of Keith Godchaux in the band + showcases some of the best Pigpen we've ever heard through the Dick's Picks series. Disc One features the majority of The Dead's set with Bo Diddley on March 25. Showcasing their brilliance as a backing band, we hear them dip into the Blues for perhaps the last time in the 70s. Highlighted by a stunning “Jam” between Diddley and The Dead we see an alternate path for the band + their ability to linger in a variety of American styles throughout their career. The disc ends with a few one-off covers for the band + an excellent “Playin In The Band” from March 27.The final three discs encompass the entire May 28th show. Featuring a number of rarities through the Dick's Picks series, it's a great peek into the band during this period. On Disc Two, Pigpen shines on “Chinatown Shuffle, “Mr. Charlie,” and “Next Time You See Me.” Jerry's vocals on “You Win Again” showcase his ability to be as much a Blues man as he is a psych master, and “Cumberland Blues” rivals the version on the Europe ‘72 release. On Disc Three we hear perhaps the greatest “Looks Like Rain” ever played, plus we hear another excellent, early cut on “Playin In The Band,” before Pigpen highlights his emotional side with “The Stranger (Two Souls In Communion).” Disc Four displays the band's experimentation with a lengthy “The Other One,” before closing the set out with a laid back “Not Fade Away -> Going Down The Road Feelin Bad -> Not Fade Away.” It's a great snapshot of The Dead ahead of a transformative period in their career. By year's end they'd be a completely different band. 36 from the Vault is a production of Osiris Media. It is edited, produced and mastered by Brian Brinkman.

This show marks a significant event in the band's history - the last show with Keith and Donna in the group. It takes place on February 17, 1979 in Oakland. By this time, Keith's contributions had been steadily decreasing and while Donna was still, in my opinion, adding to the sound, it was clear that a change was going to have to happen.  This first set features the return of 'Greatest Story Ever Told' from a five year absence, as well as that last 'Passenger' with Donna (to my ears it never sounded right without her). 'Don't Ease' marks a return appearance as does 'High Time' as the band was mixing up the setlist which had grown a bit stale..The closing 'Lazy Lightin'>Supplication' is a clear highlight here....   Grateful Dead Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena Oakland, CA 2/17/79 - Saturday     One      Greatest Story Ever Told [4:11] Don't Ease Me In [3:23]   Mama Tried [2:31] > Mexicali Blues [4:18]   Friend Of The Devil [9:08] Passenger [4:44]   High Time [6:25]   Looks Like Rain [6:33#]   Jack-A-Roe [5:20]   Lazy Lightnin' [3:26] > Supplication [5:11] You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod022522.mp3    Peace

A look at the secrets to receiving the latter rain...

From a show I was lucky enough to see, in a beautiful venue, this week's Deadpod takes us to Cleveland for a show back on November 20, 1978 at the Cleveland Music Hall.  This is a very interesting and well played show. The second set, which we will hear next week, is most unique, but this first set is certainly worth hearing, despite some obvious flaws in the recording.  The opening Mississippi Half-Step into a fine Franklin's Tower clocks in at over 20 minutes, and features some fine jamming by Garcia. I'm a fan of the Roses, and while 'Looks Like Rain' suffers from a tape flip, its still nice to hear. An early 'Stagger Lee' follows, then a fine ' Passenger' and a long sweet, 'Peggy O'. The closing 'Lazy Lightnin'>Supplication' is perhaps the highlight of this set; listen for Jerry's great solos here.   Grateful Dead Cleveland Music Hall Cleveland, OH 11/20/78 - Monday     One     Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo [9:10] > Franklin's Tower [11:38] ; Mama Tried [2:30] > Mexicali Blues [3:44] ; It Must Have Been The Roses [7:33] ; Looks Like Rain [7:33] ; Stagger Lee [6:47] ; Passenger [4:21] ; Peggy-O [9:02] ; Lazy Lightnin' [3:36] > Supplication [5:41]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod111221.mp3  My thanks for your kind support of the Deadpod. 

Talk from Barry Wales on 31 October 2021

What a great Scarlet>Fire on this week's Deadpod!  This comes to us from the second set of the band's performance at Madison Square Gardin on October 14, 1994.  This opening Scarlet>Fire is clearly the highlight of the show, clocking in at over 30 minutes of intensive, improvisational joy. You probably won't believe that they could hit on all cylinders like this at this point of the band's history but just sit back and enjoy. I am particularly impressed by the pace of the arrangement and how they don't take a breath through this.. amazing. You can hear some of the loud, standing ovation the crowd sent back after the end of Fire.. The rest of the set for the most part is no slouch either. I enjoyed Bobby's 'Look Like Rain' and while 'Samba' is one I'd rather skip, I am happy to include 'Corrina' which features a nice jam into Drums and Space. 'Attics' always provides an emotional hit, and while we can hear how far Jerry has aged here and in the 'Liberty' encore, I feel this one is well worth hearing. I hope you do too.    Grateful Dead Madison Square Garden New York , NY 10/14/94 - Friday Two     Scarlet Begonias [9:14] > Fire On The Mountain [22:03] ; Looks Like Rain [8:05] ; Samba In The Rain [6:51] ; Corrina [17:02] > Drums > Space [17:18] > I Need A Miracle [5:16] > Attics Of My Life [5:23] > Turn On Your Love Light [5:43] Encore     Liberty [5:45]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod101521.mp3  Thank you for listening. 

In this episode we chat with Mike Riley. Mike is an old and dear friend of Pat and I. Mike is arguably the reason why Pat and I are actually friends. For those of you  playing at home, Mike is the lead singer of the seminal Hardcore Band (although I think Dom likes to imagine its metal), Pulling Teeth. Mike is also a founding member of the famous Charm City Art Space, which was a cornerstone of the East Coast independent music scene/ punk scene for over 10 years. Before Pulling Teeth, Mike toured in bands like The Spark, Looks Like Rain, Paper Dragons and others. Mike also has run Toxic Pop Records, off and on for longer than I can remember too. Lastly even with all that, Mike has housed countless bands on tour. Normally I don't write all this shit out. Why am I doing that, you ask? The reason is Mike has been screwed a lot, like a ton. And it is hilarious (Most of the time). Enjoy!

This week the Deadpod stays right in Jersey City, for this wonderful show from August of 1976. This show too, took place at Roosevelt Stadium on August 4, 1976.  We start out with a long, dreamy 'Sugaree' - clocking in at over 14 minutes. Jerry is in good voice at this show, and you will notice that Phil is quite up front in this recording as well. These songs are all played at the slower pace characteristic of 1976, but I find the recording as well as the ensemble work quite pleasing.  Other highlights for me include a lovely 'Row Jimmy' and a sweet 'Looks like Rain', Donna's voice here is quite lovely and compliments Bobby so well. 'Loser' is a personal favorite, always.  A rockin' 'Music Never Stops' is followed by a great version of 'Scarlet Begonias'. This version, not yet coupled with 'Fire on the Mountain', displays some unique twists in this almost 15 minute version.   Grateful Dead Roosevelt Stadium Jersey City, NJ 8/4/76 - Wednesday One     Sugaree [14:12] New Minglewood Blues [6:00] Row Jimmy [11:34] Big River [5:50] Loser [9:44    ] Looks Like Rain [7:30] They Love Each Other [6:59] The Music Never Stopped [6:25] Scarlet Begonias [14:59]  You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod081321.mp3    Be well, be safe.. and as always my thanks for making the Deadpod possible..

This week we bring you a fine recording of an often overlooked gem from the Summer of 1973. This comes to us from RFK Stadium in Washington DC on Saturday, June 9, 1973. This date is often overlooked in favor of the next day (which we played back in '08). On both dates, the band shared the bill with the Allman Brothers. On this very hot day, the Dead opened, and played two excellent sets.  The first set, which we'll hear this week, while not featuring any extended jams, nevertheless delivers some fantastic versions of many of their favorites. As with most shows from '73 there are too many treats to mention here, however I would advise you to listen in particular to the 'Loose Lucy'. With a flub on the last verse, Garcia leads the boys on an excellent blues flavored jam, which for me is the highlight  of the set. Phil delivers a wonderful vocal performance on 'Box of Rain' as well.   Grateful Dead RFK Stadium Washington, DC 6/9/73 - Saturday  One      The Promised Land ; Deal ; Looks Like Rain ; They Love Each Other ; Jack Straw ; Loose Lucy ; Mexicali Blues ; Row Jimmy ; El Paso ; Box Of Rain ; Sugaree ; Beat It On Down The Line ; Tennessee Jed  You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod061121.mp3  A great example of the wonders of the Wall of Sound!  thank you for your kind support of the Deadpod. itu

I'm going to shuffle the deck a little bit and bring you a real treat, a show from the fall of 1976. This comes to us from September 30, 1976 at Mershon Auditorium at The Ohio State University. This special request from a friend of the Deadpod features a fantastic first set. The opening 'Music Never Stopped' is quite unique - and features some wonderful playing by Garcia in the cresendo leading into a sweet 'Sugaree'.  'Looks Like Rain' has a nice interplay between Bob and Donna, and 'El Paso' has a nice galloping tempo thanks to Phil. The real fireworks come with the fabulous 'Crazy Fingers' that follows.. to me the highlight of the set, although some would argue that the set closing 'Scarlet Begonias' deserves those accolades.. I'll let you decide ;)      Grateful Dead Mershon Auditorium - Ohio State University Columbus, OH 9/30/76 - Thursday One     The Music Never Stopped [5:56] Sugaree [9:44]   New Minglewood Blues [4:30]   Ramble On Rose [7:19] Looks Like Rain [6:02]   Peggy-O [8:25]   El Paso [4:10] Crazy Fingers [15:02] > It's All Over Now [5:14]   Scarlet Begonias [10:14]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod051421.mp3

 Happy New Year!  From a request from a longtime frirend of the Deadpod - I've decided to celebrate the end of 2020 with this fun and raucous show from NYE 1982. I'll present this one over the next couple weeks and hope can feel and enjoy the fun that the band and everyone in attendance had on this special night 39 years ago.  The first set which we'll hear this week is a bit short, but still well played and tight. Garcia's voice is a bit creaky but he makes up for it with some very nice work on the guitar. A long 'C.C. Rider' has Mathew Kelly sitting in, but I believe Brent adds much to this one (and throughout the set). 'Cumberland Blues' is for me the highlight here as Jerry really brings some nice licks. Brent delivers a short but nice 'Far From Me', Weir is forceful as usual on 'Cassidy' and a bit screechy at times on 'Looks Like Rain' but these are fine versions. 'Ramble On Rose' always brings a smile, and a 'Day Job' to end the year seems quite appropriate.   Oakland Auditorium Oakland, CA 12/31/82 - Friday One     Cold Rain And Snow ; C C Rider ; Cumberland Blues ; Far From Me ; Cassidy ; Ramble On Rose ; Looks Like Rain ; Keep Your Day Job  You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod010121.mp3  A word of thanks for your kind support over the holidays and throughout this last, difficult year. I very much appreciate your kindness. May these songs fill the air with much joy and well being this next year! "Sometimes when the cuckoo's crying When the moon is half way down Sometimes when the night is dying I take me out and I wander around I wander round"

 Great set this week - the 2nd set from the band's performance at the Warfield Theater in San Francisco on 10/11/80.  Great quality tape - and right off they sound hot .. a wonderful 'Stranger' punctuated with some smoking guitar. Even the Mama Tried>Mexicali has some real smokin' licks. Personally I find the post-Donna 'Passenger' to be one of the best of this period.. really well done. There's nothign shabby here, and the closing Sailor>Saint has some great jamming in it.      Grateful Dead Warfield Theatre San Francisco, CA 10/11/80 - Saturday Two     Feel Like A Stranger [8:26] ; They Love Each Other [7:07] ; Mama Tried [2:33] > Mexicali Blues [4:16] ; Loser [7:32] ; Passenger [4:44] ; Ramble On Rose [7:14] ; Looks Like Rain [7:21] ; Althea [7:58] ; Lost Sailor [6:32] > Saint Of Circumstance [6:18]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod100920.mp3 Hope you enjoy this.. and thank you so much for your support..   

This wasn't the show I'd planned on presenting this week.. I thought oh this was too long.. but after listening to what I had prepared, and listening to this again, well, it was no choice.. so from the great year of 1973, we bring you the band's performance from May 20th, 1973 at Santa Barbra California.. Now this isn't your typical 2 1/2 hour show.. this one is going to stretch out for probably 3 weeks, as this was a *full* three set show. There are a few imperfections in the recording but overall for its age it is remarkable and I'm certain you'll enjoy it....

First off - Happy New Year! Always a significant date on the touring calendar, the NYE run has seen many great shows over the years. I've decided to bring you one from 39 years ago, 12/29/78 at Pauley Pavilion at UCLA in Los Angeles CA. This rather long first set is a combination of slower Garcia ballads and rockin' Weir covers.. but it all works and I hope you'll enjoy it. An opening 'Jack Straw' is always a treat, and this one is quite welcome.. 'They Love Each Other' follows, then Bobby brings out a nice 'Mama Tried' into 'Mexicali Blues'. Garcia again slows it down a bit with a soulful 'Loser'. Other highlights in the firs set include a great rockin' 'Passenger' followed by a 'Tennessee Jed' with a great Garcia solo. 'Sugaree' that follows the 'Minglewood' is very tasty as well!
