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!

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.

This week's Deadpod takes us down south to Atlanta Georgia, where the Dead played the first of 36 shows at the Omni back on December 12, 1973. This long and very tasty first set features many of the classics, all played quite well. It features only the second time that 'Peggy-O' was played, great sound throughout, and a very long and spacey 'Playin' In the Band' to end this first set.  Next week we'll play both set 2 and the soundchecks which are amazing in themselves..

This week's Deadpod takes us back to the Fall tour of 1979 - this time at San Diego for the Saturday night show that took place on November 24. This first set opens with a rare and refreshing 'China Cat>I Know You Rider'. Love hearing this as an opener and I think it sets a nice atmosphere for the show. Cowboy songs come next then a really nice 'Peggy-O' and 'Cassidy' which are both highlights of this set.  A youthful sounding Brent gives us a nice 'Easy To Love You' which goes into a longer 'Althea'.

He recounts his journey to the concert with friends, highlighting the traffic challenges and the camaraderie of the trip. The concert, his fifth Grateful Dead show, featured a mix of classic songs like "Candyman," "Brown Eyed Women," "Mama Tried," "Mexicali Blues," and a powerful rendition of "Deal."He discusses the significance of the venue and the special atmosphere of the show, emphasizing how it was a formative experience in his journey as a Deadhead. Larry also touches on the setlist, praising the band's performance and the vibrant energy of the concert.Transitioning to music news, Larry talks about the enduring legacy of the Rolling Stones. He mentions their recent album, "Hackney Diamonds," and shares highlights from their concert in Denver. The setlist included iconic songs such as "Start Me Up," "Gimme Shelter," and "Sympathy for the Devil." Larry admires the band's ability to continue performing at a high level and appreciates their collaboration with other music legends like Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder.Larry also announces upcoming events, including Bob Weir's collaboration with String Cheese Incident at the Suwannee Hulaween festival and the new Jerry Garcia Band live album release, "Garcia Live Volume 21."  Grateful DeadJune 24, 1983Dane County ColiseumMadison, WIGrateful Dead Live at Dane County Coliseum on 1983-06-24 : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive My first time “on tour”.  Went with my good buddy H to this show, then on to St. Paul and then to Chicago for the final two shows of the tour at Poplar Creek Theater (RIP).  We were joined by a strong Ann Arbor based collection of friends and fellow Deadheads including Big Steve, not that Big Steve, our Big Steve from Ann Arbor by way of Hyde Park in Chicago and now a Boston guy, Andy Gaudin of blessed memory, Tommy Marks (younger brother of the Weasel) and many other “locals” we knew in each city. This show was a Friday night and many of us were driving to Madison from the Chicago area which meant battling heavy traffic getting out of Chicago, battling heavy traffic driving up  to Wisconsin with everyone else from Chicago headed to Wisconsin summer homes for the weekend, battling traffic driving through Milwaukee and making our way through Madison upon arrival without knowing exactly where we were going.  And by the way, no Waze to fall back on and no cell phone to call for directions.  Luckily, we were riding with Big Steve, perhaps one of the finest long distance drivers I have ever known.  When we hit Madison, we had to find our buddy Dr. Z (back then just known as Z because the doctorate thing happened latter ).  We arrive at his place to learn that he was in a bike accident, is all banged up, needed some quick med treatment and a bite to eat and then back to his place for whatever reason I do not remember.  The clock is ticking closer and closer to showtime and Z is assuring us we have nothing but time. This was to be my fifth show ever and I still was kind of just along for the ride with the more experienced veterans.  H was like me, new to the game but always looking for a chance to go on a party themed roadtrip.  But even I was starting to get nervous.  After what seemed line forever, we made our way to the show, dropped, there was no line to get in, showed our tickets and walked in to a half empty arena with the floor not even half filled.  And just as we walked in, the lights go out, the Dead the stage and this happened: INTRO:                                 Shakedown Street                                                Track #1                                                0:00 – 1:36  SHOW No. 1:                    Deal                                                Track #10                                                7:30 – 9:05  SHOW No. 2:                    Help On The Way                                                Track #12                                                0:00 – 1:41  SHOW No. 3:                    Lost Sailor  > St. of Circumstance                                                Track #15  7:15 – end  INTO                                                Track #16   0:00 – 0:57  SHOW No. 4:                    Truckin                                                Track #18                                                6:40 – 8:20  OUTRO:                               Morning Dew                                                Track #19                                                10:58 – 13:33 (I know, it's a very long clip, but it is an amazing Garcia solo supported by Brent.  Can't cut it!)  The Around and Around > Johnny B. Goode >Don't Ease Me In that followed was almost perfunctory.  The Dew and that jam was a true closer.  Stumbled out, bounced around town, wound up at a different buddy's house, played soccer out on the street until 3 or 4 a.m., tried to sleep (not happening), Z rousted us out of bed the next morning for breakfast at the legendary Cleveland Diner and then back in the car for the drive to the Twin Cities and a show that night (good friend Andy Greenberg's first show), followed by a day off to drive back to Chicago, pop up birthday Sunday night for H at his parents' house, and then have the two night run at Poplar Creek.  Four great shows in five nights.  Too much fun.  .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

Send us your name and address and we'll keep you informed”) One fact that should be obvious given the venue and the time – an unknown UCLA student and want-a-be college basketball player, Bill Walton was in attendance along with some of his Bruins teammates for this first ever Dead show at Pauley Pavilion, famed home court for the UCLA Bruins, a team that following the amazing successes of Lew Alcindor (Kareem) and Sidney Wicks, now was being led for the first time by Bill and his teammates Jamaal Wilkes and Greg Lee (spoiler alert:  Bill has some success at UCLA too).  Bill, of course, went on to be an NBA All-Star and a regular attendee of Dead shows and, as Alex can attest, not unusual to see him at a West Coast dead show right up until the end – kind of hard to miss a 7 foot deadhead with his red hair and tie dye apparel.  Rumor has it when they knew he was going to be at a show the band would set up a basketball hoop backstage and that Bruce Hornsby was a hooper too. INTRO:               Bertha                           Track No. 1                           3:30 – 4:37 Great traditional opener although it was known to pop up in different spots during shows from time to time.  At this point, it is still “new” having been debuted earlier that year, on February 18th at the Capitol Theater in Port Chester.  Never released on a studio album, but it is the opening tune on the Dead's live album, “Grateful Dead” a/k/a Skull and Roses (or Phil's preferred name, “Skull Fuck” which was promptly rejected by their label, Warner Bros) on September 24, 1971.  From shows in NYC at the Fillmore East and the Hammerstein Ballroom in the Manhattan Center (plus Johnny B. Goode from Winterland – couldn't completely ignore the west coast). SHOW #1:          Tennessee Jed                           Track No. 5                           0:45 – 1:46 This is one of the “new” ones played in this show.  Along with Mexicali Blues, One More Saturday Night, Ramble On Rose and Jack Straw had all just been played for the first ever just two months earlier on October 19, 1971 at the Northrop Auditorium in Minneapolis – also Keith's first show.  A tune that more than most really captures the change in the band's direction as you have Garcia previously of Dark Star, St. Stephen and Eleven fame twanging away, musically and vocally, on a song with a feel that is a cross between country, western and a dash of rock n roll.  Deadheads of Alex's and my era will note how much quicker the tempo is in this early version and Garcia's noticeable energy evident from his strong vocal performance. Played 436 times in concert, putting it at No. 15 of the list of the Dead's most played tunes.1st (again) on Oct. 19, 1971 in MPLSLast on July 8, 1995 at Soldier Field, Chicago A great sing along tune that the Deadheads always enjoyed, normally found in the first set, towards the middle. SHOW #2:          Jack Straw                           Track No. 10                           :12 – 1:20 As just mentioned, this another “new” one just two months old.  Everyone loves Jack Straw, even the Band which is why it checks in at No. on list of most tunes played by the Band with 476 performances (last one on July 8, 1995 at Soldier Field).  But in this early version, there is a little bit of a change from the version we all know and love.  First, thing to know it is a tune by Hunter and Weir.  Garcia did not write it although he sang it with Weir in a “trading off of verses” style.  Second, in these early versions, before the Europe '72 tour, Weir sang all the verses like we just heard, “I just jumped the watchman, right outside the fence” was always sung by Jerry, but here, Weir sings it. Not sure of the reason for the change, but I like it a lot better with Jerry singing his verses (the other being “Gotta go to Tulsa, first train we can ride”).  First time with Jerry on vocals was May 3, 1972 at the Olympia Theater in Paris, that also just happens to be the version of the song that wound up on the Europe '72 album.  Although in its earlier years the song would appear in either first or second set, after their 1975 hiatus it became an almost exclusive first set song. And after Brent joined the band, almost always a show opener.  Home to the more than occasional Phil base bomb, it was one of the Band's most popular tunes and a great way to open any show (especially if they had just opened with Bertha the night before so you got to catch them both!). SHOW #3:          Ramble On Rose                           Track No. 18                           0:00 – 1:28 Last of the “new” ones that we will feature today.  Just like Tennessee Jed, upbeat, good energy, Jerry and the boys are having fun, like with any new creation.  Still working out all the details, the james, keeping track of the lyrics and Jerry has not yet developed his signature growl on “goodbye mamma and poppa, goodbye jack and jill”.  What I really like about this version and why I chose a clip from the beginning of the tune is to hear Keith's piano accompaniment that works so well with this song and adds another layer of creativity to the mix.  Garcia always seemed to get energy and inspiration from the band's keyboard players and Keith, even this early in his career, is no exception. After its introduction on Oct. 19, 1971 in Minny, played a total of 319 times, good for 39th place on the all time list, just behind US Blues and just ahead of Don't Ease Me In (really?).  Last played on June 27, 1995 at the Palace of Auburn Hills, MI. SHOW #4:          You Win Again                           Track No. 20                           1:12 – 2:21 "You Win Again" is a 1952 song by Hank Williams. In style, the song is a blues ballad and deals with the singer's despair with his partner. The song has been widely covered, including versions by Ray Charles, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison, the Grateful Dead, Charley Pride, Bob Dylan, and the Rolling Stones. Hank Williams recorded "You Win Again" on July 11, 1952—one day after his divorce from Audrey Williams was finalized. Like "Cold, Cold Heart," the song was likely inspired by his tumultuous relationship with his ex-wife, "You Win Again" was released as the B-side to "Settin' the Woods on Fire", primarily because up-tempo, danceable numbers were preferable as A-sides for radio play and for the valuable jukebox trade. Nonetheless, "You Win Again" peaked at number ten on the Most Played in C&W Juke Boxes chart, where it remained for a single week. Over a time period of less than one year, the Dead played You Win Again 24 times in concert, the first on November 11, 1971 at the Municipal Auditorium in Austin, TX (this show in L.A. was only the third time it had been played) and the last on September 16, 1972 at The Music Hall in Boston.  A version of the song was released on the Europe '72 album (second album side), from their show on May 24, 1972 at The Strand Lyceum in London, one of the final shows on that tour. JGB recorded a version of the song in 1976 during the Reflections album sessions but not played live again.  It was briefly revived by The Dead with Dylan in 2003.  OUTRO:          Going Down The Road Feeling Bad                        Track No. 23                        3:45 – 5:12 "Going Down The Road Feeling Bad" (also known as the "Lonesome Road Blues") is a traditional American folk song, "a white blues of universal appeal and uncertain origin" The song was recorded by many artists through the years. The first known recording is from 1923 by Henry Whitter, an Appalachian singer,[2][3]as "Lonesome Road Blues". The earliest versions of the lyrics are from the perspective of an inmate in prison with the refrain, "I'm down in that jail on my knees" and a reference to eating "corn bread and beans."[4] The song has been recorded by many artists such as Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Skeeter Davis, Elizabeth Cotten, and the Grateful Dead, and the song is featured in To Bonnie from Delaney, "Mountain Jam", Born and Raised World Tour, The Grapes of Wrath, and Lucky Stars.Others who recorded it include Cliff Carlisle (also as "Down in the Jail on My Knees"), Woody Guthrie (also as "Blowin' Down This Road" or "I Ain't Gonna Be Treated This Way"), Bill Monroe, Earl Scruggs, Roy Hall, Elizabeth Cotten and the Grateful Dead, Delaney and Bonnie, Canned Heat and Dillard Chandler. Dead played it 302 times (No. 46 on the most played tunes list just behind a tie between Mama Tried and Terrapin and just ahead of Birdsong).  1st time on October 10, 1970 at Colden Auditorium, part of Queens College in Queens, NY.Last played on July 5, 1985 at the Riverport Amphitheater in Maryland Heights, MO. During the time period of this show it was almost always paired with Not Fade Away (as made famous at the end of the Grateful Dead album).  In later years, when Alex and I were regulars on tour, it would show up as a second set tune, usually, but not always after Drums/Space.  A very upbeat tune that the band obviously loved playing the crowd loved hearing. For our purposes, a great way to end the show and say goodbye and HAPPY THANKSGIVING.

This particular version of Ruby Waves runs an incredible 38 minutes and was only one of the many highlights from that show (which featured a huge Olivia's Pool breakout among other big moments).  Check out the clip, check out the show, and when you hear Ruby Waves think of little Ruby making her appearance into the world. DeadAlso featuring the Dead from The Spectrum in Philly 44 years ago today.  A year of big transition, Jim Marty's first Dead show, and some almost under the radar amazing shows, including this one.  An eleven song first set followed up by a four song second set (plus drums and space;  who do these guys think they are, Phish?) and strong encore.  Here is how it all started SHOW #1:                           Alabama Getaway                                                Track No. 1                                                0:10 – 1:35                 This is only the second time the Dead played this song in concert, the first being two nights earlier on Nov. 4th at the Providence Civic Center in Rhode Island.  Song would first be released six months later (4.28.1980) on Dead's album, Go To Heaven.  Ultimately played by the Dead 143 times, with an almost five year gap from 1990 – 1994, Jerry brought it back to the stage for a handful of performances in 1995, including the last one on June 2, 1995 at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, CA.                  Great cultural references to Alabama's complicated legacy, Bill Bojangles, the Twenty Third Psalm from the Bible and more. Great up-tempo tune usually played as a show opener, although it was known to move around from time to time.                 Extended this clip to catch the Brent breakout during the jam.  Still new to the group Brent was not shy and made his presence known with authority even in the first year.  SHOW #2:                         Jack Straw                                          Track No. 10                                           3:16 – 4:47                 One of the highlights of this show, fantastic version of this crowd pleaser and great jamming tune.  Brent again jumping into the mix with his backing vocals and his strong keyboard work filling in the gaps.                 Written by Bobby and Robert Hunter, was never released on a studio album but was released on Europe '72 album.                Originally, Bobby sang all the vocals, but at a show in Paris on May 3, 1972, Bobby and Jerry began trading off vocals on different verses and it stayed that way until the end.  The song appeared in both the first and second sets until the band's short hiatus in 1974-1975. After re-forming, the song almost exclusively appeared in the first set. After Brent Mydland joined the band in 1979, the song almost exclusively opened the band's first set. The band also often extended the jam after the second verse after Mydland's joining, often extending the song to over six minutes. Dead and Company have also further extended the song, often adding an abstract opening jam prior to the song's first verse. Bob Weir stated in a 2004 interview that the song's lyrics were partly based on John Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men.[2] The song's themes include riding the rails, the Great Depression, and hobo (homeless) camps of the era. Jack Straw is also—perhaps coincidentally—the name of the original plantation owner, who lived controversially with his gay lover, Peter Ochello, in Tennessee Williams's play Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.                 Long a staple of live Dead shows, the song was first heard live on October 19, 1971 at Northrop Auditorium in Minneapolis (another legendary show due to it being Keith Godchaux's first show with the band AND the large number of breakout tunes including Tennessee Jed, Mexicali Blues, Comes  A Time, One More Saturday Night, and Ramble On Rose – continuation and new wrinkles to their Americana style that began a year earlier with the releases of American Beauty and Workingman's Dead and now reflected Keith's newly introduced input from the grand piano).                 Ultimately played by the Dead a total of 476 times putting it very high up on the list of most played Dead tunes.                Last played on July 8, 1995 at Soldier Field in Chicago.  Time for more Ruby SHOW #3:                        Ruben and Cerise                                         Grateful Dead                                         March 17, 1991                                         Cap Center, Landover, MD                                         Grateful Dead Live at Capitol Centre on 1991-03-17 : Free Borrow & Streaming : Internet Archive                                         2:05 – 2:29               Sweet Ruby dressed in Red is one of the main characters in this Garcia/Hunter song that was first released in April as the opening tune on the JBG's only studio album, Cats Under The Stars (Run For The Roses is considered a “studio album”). Although played with some frequency by the Jerry Garcia Band (76 times), the Grateful Dead only played it four times in concert, this clip being their breakout.  Last played on June 19, 1991 at Buckeye Lake Music Theater in Thornville, OH.  A classic tale of love found and lost set in the Carnival season in New Orleans.  Beautiful lyrics for a sad and cautionary tale.  Sorry to say I never saw it live by the Dead or JGB.  I have seen it since by Phil, JRAD and others. Nice but not close to the same.  Back to the Dead SHOW #4:                        Terrapin Station                                         Track No. 12                                         8:00 – 9:31               Beautiful Hunter/Garcia epic mulit-part suite with Hunter composing the lyrics during a single sitting one night during a rare Bay Area lightning storm.On the same day, driving across the Richmond–San Rafael Bridge, lead guitarist Jerry Garcia was struck by the idea for a singular melodic line. He turned his car around and hurried home to set it down in notation before it escaped him. Hunter said "When we met the next day, I showed him the words and he said, 'I've got the music.' They dovetailed perfectly and Terrapin edged into this dimension."[10] Hunter based the lyrics for the "Lady with a Fan" section on a traditional English folk song known variously as "The Lady of Carlisle", "The Bold Lieutenant" and "The Lion's Den". The ballad is No. 396 on the Roud Folk Song Index. It is also O 25 on the Laws list, which synopsizes "The lady decides to choose between two brothers who love her by determining which is braver. She tosses her fan into a lion's den and asks them to retrieve it."[11] Hunter, who was also influenced by Sir Walter Scott, had composed "Terrapin Station" in two parts, the second never recorded or performed by the Grateful Dead.Drummer Bill Kreutzmann ironed out the arrangement, explaining "We sat down and mapped it out. I said, 'This is how the song goes.' I showed [Mickey] all the parts that I felt worked really well, he added a couple, and that's what the song is today. We went back into the studio the next night and got it right. With the drum parts worked out, everything else snapped together like puzzle pieces.            As the opener of a four song second set, this is a strong version, jammed out, but not too much is a show highlight.  Barely two years old (Terrapin Station album released on July 27, 1977, first performed a few months earlier on Feb. 26, 1977 at the Swing Auditorium in San Bernardino, CA) at this point, you can still hear Garcia playing around with the timing of the lyrics. Ultimately played in concert by the Dead 303 times with the last rendition on July 8, 1995 in Chicago.         An song for fans of fun tales of all ages, I suspect young Ruby will become quite familiar with this tune over time!  OUTRO:                      Goodbye Ruby Tuesday                                    Rolling Stones                                    Live – 1991                                    The Rolling Stones - Ruby Tuesday (Live) - Official 1991 - YouTube                                         1:52 – 3:12

The Fall of 1972 was an interesting transitional period for the Grateful Dead. They began to explore longer shows with more exploratory jamming. This week's Deadpod, from September 9th of that year, showcases some of these changes. In this week's first set, we have plenty of classic songs, as well as some intense jamming. Some of the highlights for me include the sweet 'Sugaree', 'Bird Song' and Keith's transitions in 'Black Throated Wind'. Of course I have to mention the almost 19 minute long 'Playin In the Band' - long a vehicle for exploration during this period.

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.

We're going to close out the month of October with a great show from 1977. This one comes to us from Kansas City KS, on October 28, 1977. This week's first set is very melodic throughout, with a nice laid back rhythm for the most part.  Promised Land is the opener (don't fear -the audience splice only lasts a few moments), then a sweet 'They Love Each Other'. One of the things I love about this recording is the clarity of each instrument - which is evident especially in the 'Cassidy' that follows. This entire set is quite well done, but I would draw your attention to the 'Supplication' and 'Deal' that closes the set - there is some really fine jamming going on there!      Grateful Dead Soldier's And Sailors Memorial Hall Kansas City, KS 10/28/1977 - Friday     One     The Promised Land [4:16] ; They Love Each Other [7:10] ; Cassidy [4:33] ; Tennessee Jed [8:59] ; Mexicali Blues [3:05] > Big River [5:47] ; Brown Eyed Women [5:01] ; Lazy Lightnin' [3:13] > Supplication [5:48] ; Deal [6:19]  You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod102122.mp3   I'll play the second set next week.  Thanks to Steve for this fine suggestion.  Hope you got whatever Dead & Co. tickets you wanted...  Be well and don't let the crazy noise this time of year get to you :)

"Being summer, I took off my shirt...." well I'm not taking my shirt off but I am bringing you a summertime treat I think, with an excellent audience recording of the band's performance in Denver on July 14, 1981. As I listened to this tape it just struck me that the feeling of being there that a good audience recording gives you was perfect for this time of the year, when many of us have been lucky enough to experience some live music in person.. I do hope you have! This show has some excellent energy throughout, the Minglewood has a couple very nice Jerry solos, the 'Cassidy' is nicely paced, and leads into a sweet 'To Lay Me Down'.  Weir has some fun with 'Me & My Uncle' which is blistering.. as is the outstanding 'Big Railroad Blues'  The highlight of the set is the Birdsong>Sailor>Saint, however. It is only the the 14th electric birdsong since 9/15/73, and the only time that Sailor comes out of Birdsong.

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).

Grateful Dead concerts in the month of January are rather sparse, however one exception is the west coast run that took place in January of 1978.  This week's show took place on January 13, 1978 in Santa Barbara California. It starts out with a nicely played 'Mississippi Half-Step' - while Jerry's voice is suffering a bit from the laryngitis he fought through on this tour - his playing more than makes up for it I think throughout.

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.

When the same show gets requested by two different listeners the same week I pay attention.. and I must say I am quite pleased to be able to present this request on this week's Deadpod.  This comes to us from a show played on Sunday, October 28, 1979 at the Cape Cod Coliseum at South Yarmouth MA. You know the old saying about never missing a Sunday show - well this one certainly proves that old adage! It starts out just nuts with a great Mississippi Half-Step .. which Jerry and the boys jam out for over 13 minutes! That however is just the start as they flow into a amazing Franklin's Tower which runs almost another 18 minutes! Listen to the wonderful and unique interplay between Phil and Jerry here, its really lovely.  The rest of this set is no sleeper either. Even the more pedestrian tunes, like Mama Tried and Mexicali, are played with a real energy and drive. Ramble on Rose is a favorite of mine here, as is the closing, 10 minute 'Music Never Stopped'..      Grateful Dead Cape Cod Coliseum South Yarmouth, MA  10/28/79 - Sunday      One     Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo [13:27] > Franklin's Tower [17:41] ; Mama Tried [2:31] > Mexicali Blues [4:24] ; Althea [7:48] ; Passenger [5:14] ; Ramble On Rose [7:49] ; The Music Never Stopped [9:36]    You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod102221.mp3   thanks for your kind support of the Deadpod!  Be well and happy!

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.

In this week's episode, Joe and Caroline talk all about the rich history of Nippert Stadium, home of the University of Cincinnati football team. They talk about who the stadium was named after, some of the game traditions, and their personal experiences at UC games.  They also recall their adventures from the previous week, Caroline tells us what is bugging her on Children's TV and Joe tells not one, not two but three dad jokes. What We Are Drinking Caroline's Drink:  Witbier Traditional Belgian Wheat Ale West Side Brewing - Westwood, Ohio IBU: 15 ABV: 5.4% “A traditional Belgian-style wheat ale, this pale beer has a white head and aromas of clove, citrus, and coriander. The softly doughy malt flavor comes from the generous use of unmalted wheat and a hint of oats. With no hop aroma and orange peel and coriander, this pairs great with salads, light curries, and more!”Joe's Drink: Peso in my Hand - Mexican Lager Fretboard Brewery - Blue Ash, Ohio IBU: 12 ABV: 4.9%“We got a case of the Mexicali Blues when we came up with this delicious treat.

While Jerry's birthday is not until Sunday, I felt that there could be no better way to start off the 'Days Between' than with this humdinger of a show from August 1st, 1973. I realize this is only days after last week's Deadpod fom Watkins Glen, but, hey its one of the few, and probably the greatest of Jerry's Birthday show with the band. Now this version of the events is captured on what I feel is an excellent audience recording. The existing soundboard, especially for this first set, is fairly degraded and I think this audience recording is quite good - I hope you agree.  I'm a fan of the 'Sugaree' here, as well as Donna's  'You Ain't Woman Enough' which is a crowd pleaser. The 'Bird Song' that follows is excellent and features two nice jams. The rest of the set is quite well played, with the set ending with an unusually fine 'Casey Jones'.  Next week I'll play set 2 - which will include a beautiful soundboard capture of a wonderful Dark Star.   Grateful Dead Roosevelt Stadium Jersey City, NJ 8/1/73 - Wednesday     One     [59:33] ; The Promised Land [3:02] ; Sugaree [7:51] ; The Race Is On [2:57] ; You Ain't Woman Enough [3:04] ; Bird Song [10:51] ; Mexicali Blues [3:19] ; They Love Each Other [5:07] ; Jack Straw [4:39] ; Stella Blue [7:23] ; Big River [4:38] ; Casey Jones [6:42]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod073021.mp3  This show took place on Garcia's 31st birthday..

I originally thought I would play Brent Mydland's last show with the band - 7/23/1990 - but at the last moment decided I would bring you something much happier - the famous soundcheck from the Watkins Glen festival that took place on July 27, 1973.  Long a favorite among Deadheads, you've likely heard this before - but this is one of those performances that deserve to be listened to again from time to time - like using that good china that is collecting dust in the cabinet. This is a fine recording of the complete soundcheck - including Bill Graham's introduction - that captures what made this band so exciting during this peak period of their evolution.  Only a few words are needed here as this will speak for itself.. listen to how animated Phil is right out of the gate - he drives that Promised Land and continues throughout! Bird Song has some wonderful moments where the band starts to take off into uncharted territory - a harbinger of things to come.  Of course the 'star' here is the jam following Uncle.. this is paradigmatic Grateful Dead - unexpected, new, never to be repeated. The 'Wharf Rat' that follows is just what is needed to bring things back to earth.. then !bang! 'Around and Around' to end things up...  Grateful Dead Grand Prix Racecourse Watkins Glen, NY 7/27/73 - Friday   One      The Promised Land ; Sugaree ; Mexicali Blues ; Bird Song ; Big River ; Tennessee Jed Two     Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo ; Me And My Uncle ; Jam > Wharf Rat ; Around And Around   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod072321.mp3    Enjoy.

The first show of a three night run, this features some great guitar work by Garcia throughout, even here in the first set. A fine 'Cold Rain and Snow' might be overlooked by the early 'He's Gone', but there is so much great music here. I love the 'Bird Song' and the 'Sugaree'.

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

  The Dead opened up 1974 with this week's show from Winterland on February 22, 1974.

 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 !

This week we travel to the home of the celebrated jumping frogs - Calavaras county - to bring you the band's performance from August 23, 1987.  I find this to be quite an enjoyable first set as it features many songs not often broken out, including a set opening 'Box of Rain'. The 'Jack Straw' and 'West LA' are both solid and well played. 'High Time' is really a pleasant surprise but the highlight of the set, when they really let loose, is when Carlos Santana, who opened for them, joins them on stage for 'Iko Iko' and 'All Along the Watchtower'.  You can really feel them open up as Jerry and Carlos trade licks on these two standards.

This week's Deadpod will take us to May of 1978. This show took place in the Field House at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY on May the 7th, 1978, a place that was described as basically an aircraft hanger with terrible acoustics and hot as hell. Luckily the tape we have is pretty good overall because this was a show where you can tell that the band was in great spirits and having fun throughout. I think you'll find that Jerry and Donna, in particular are in great voice, and Keith and Phil are both having an exceptional evening.  There are plenty of highlights to be had here - as well as alot of noodling and playing around between songs.. some of my favorites are the 'Dire Wolf', the great 'It's All Over Now' featuring some very nice Garcia licks, and Passenger, with Donna in great voice.  The closing 'Music Never Stopped' reaches some very nice spots as well..        Grateful Dead Field House - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Troy, NY 5/7/78 - Sunday One     Jack Straw [6:23] ; Dire Wolf [4:03] ; Mexicali Blues [3:42] > Mama Tried [2:36] ; Tennessee Jed [8:31] ; It's All Over Now [8:10] ; Friend Of The Devil [5:#43] ; Passenger [5:08] ; Brown Eyed Women [5:20] ; The Music Never Stopped [8:17]    You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod051520.mp3   Please observe the safeguards to stay well, join us on Facebook if you like, and don't forget the Friday night 'Shakedown Street' videos on YouTube.    thanks so much for your kind support.

My hope is that this podcast, this music, can bring a little joy and light into your life during this dark and scary time...  This week we'll hear the second set from the band's performance on March 23, 1972 from the Academy of Music in New York City. While it is not as long as that massive first set from last week, I think it is uniformly good. 'Truckin' starts things off, nice tempo, lots of energy. The 'Ramble on Rose' is great.. Pig follows with 'Two Souls in Communion' and we're reminded what a loss was coming when he passed...  'Mexicali Blues' features some nice flourishes from Jerry, then we have the Dark Star.. unique as all Dark Stars are, certainly jazzy and complex.

39 years ago the band played a fine show at the Uptown Theater in Chicago, which I'm pleased to begin to present to you today. A fine 'Jack Straw' opener begins things on a high note, and the rest of this first set is varied and quite well played on this fine recording. Some of the highlights include a 'Little Red Rooster' with both some fine slide work and some nice color added by Brent, a great 'Big Railroad Blues' (which ones aren't?), and a near-perfect 'Althea'.  'Let it Grow' segs into 'Deal' to close this enjoyable set of early 80s Dead.        Grateful Dead Uptown Theatre Chicago, IL 2/28/81 - Saturday     One     Jack Straw [6:25] ; They Love Each Other [7:19] ; Mama Tried [2:36] > Mexicali Blues [4:22] ; Candyman [7:17] ; Little Red Rooster [8:30] ; Big Railroad Blues [4:46] > Looks Like Rain [7:31] ; Althea [9:07] ; Let It Grow [11:56] > Deal [7:48]    You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod022820.mp3       Keep your lamps trimmed and burning... thanks for your support!

This first set starts with a rocking 'Around and Around' - a different and welcome way to open a show. They follow with three ballads - 'Dire Wolf', 'Me & Bobby McGee' and 'Sugaree'.. Mexicalli follows then one of the highlights of this first set is a strong 'Here Comes Sunshine'. They 'Beat it Down the Line', then a 1st set 'Ship of Fools'. 'Jack Straw' and 'Deal' follows, then a great rocking trifecta of 'Promised Land', 'Bertha', and 'Greatest Story Ever Told' to end this first set.  We will get to hear the second set next week..    Grateful Dead Winterland Arena San Francisco, CA 2/23/74 - Saturday     One     Around And Around [4:46] ; Dire Wolf [4:15] ; Me And Bobby McGee [5:34] ; Sugaree [7:01] ; Mexicali Blues [3:17] ; Here Comes Sunshine [9:#17] ; Beat It On Down The Line [3:25] ; Ship Of Fools [5:16] ; Jack Straw [4:33] ; Deal [4:18] ; The Promised Land [3:00] > Bertha [5:51] > Greatest Story Ever Told [5:06]    You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod021320.mp3   So appreciate you listening and  your kind support!    Be kind ;)

Hello Friends!  This week, a show that caught my fancy that for some reason has never been featured here on the Deadpod, but certainly deserves to be..  This comes to us from November 1, 1979 and teh Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale NY.  I think the band always enjoyed the NY area and this is I think, quite a fine and energetic outing.  This recording starts with an audience patch in 'Jack Straw' but don't let that put you off, its a fine soundboard recording with just a few patches thrown in. Brent and Jerry's interplay really shines on this show, and the band effortlessly shift gears here in the first set from rockers like 'New Minglewood Blues' to more soulful numbers like 'Candyman' and 'Peggy-O' (that latter is  an exceptionally fine version here). 'Looks Like Rain' shines too, and I quite enjoy the Brent offering 'Easy to Love You'..  Next week features a *massive* Scarlet>Fire, don't miss it!    Grateful Dead Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum Uniondale, NY 11/1/79 - Thursday      One      Jack Straw [#2:21] ; They Love Each Other [7:12] ; Mama Tried [2:35] > Mexicali Blues [4:22] ; Peggy-O [7:38] ; New Minglewood Blues [6:55] ; Candyman [7:03] ; Looks Like Rain [8:25] ; Don't Ease Me In [3:36] ; Easy To Love You [3:50] ; The Promised Land [4:19]     You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod011020.mp3   Hope you stay warm and dry this weekend - looks like some of us are in for some weather!    thank you all for your kind support, which keeps the Deadpod rolling.

For this special set break episode, Jonathan Hart of Brokedown Podcast pops by to talk about three Dead-adjacent albums that helped shape the band’s creative evolution. Originally conceived as solo efforts, Jerry Garcia’s Garcia, Bob Weir’s Ace, and Mickey Hart’s Rolling Thunder each brought something special to the Deadiverse, including songs that would become staples of live sets for years to come. Jerry’s album gave us “Deal,” “Bird Song,” “Sugaree,” “Loser,” “To Lay Me Down,” and “The Wheel.” Ace delivered “Greatest Story Ever Told,” “Black-Throated Wind,” “Looks Like Rain,” “Mexicali Blues,” “One More Saturday Night,” “Cassidy,” and the ultimate jam warhorse, “Playing in the Band.” And speaking of “Playing,” Mickey’s Rolling Thunder also features an embryonic version of the tune, then known as “The Main Ten.” So why did the band choose to reveal studio versions of these classic numbers on non-Dead releases? Jonathan and Casey talk about the possible reasons while offering insights on several key cuts. It’s an Osiris Network crossover for the ages!We’re part of the Osiris podcast network.

Seemed to me that I shouldn't let April slip by without something from 1978 - the band had a very good month that year, so I decided to feature their efforts on April 21st at Rupp Arena in Lexington Kentucky.   Some think that this first set starts out a bit slow, personally I disagree. I love the 'Promised Land' opener. Unfortunately the 'Dire Wolf' that follows is is patched with a not-so-great audience version for the first 2:40 of the selection. While 'Mama Tried'>'Mexicali' is not rare, Garcia has some spirited licks and I find it quite enjoyable. The 'Ramble On Rose' is perhaps not the most spirited, but its followed by a quite long 'Funiculi Funicula, A smart 'Passenger' is followed by a lazy 'Row Jimmy', but they flip a switch from her out.. the last 3 songs are cooking! All these three are wonderful, but they are capped by an off the hook version of 'The Music Never Stopped'.. whew!     Grateful Dead Rupp Arena Lexington, KY 4/21/78 - Friday   One   The Promised Land [4:26] ; Dire Wolf [4:04] ; Mama Tried [2:42] > Mexicali Blues [3:47] ; Ramble On Rose [8:13] ; Funiculi Funicula [1:33] ; Passenger [4:56] ; Row Jimmy [10:48] ; It's All Over Now [8:01] ; Brown Eyed Women [5:28] ; The Music Never Stopped [9:04] You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod042619.mp3   thank you so much for your kind support

While I missed the 40th anniversary of this one by a week, it's certainly a show that merits listening to, even if (or perhaps because) it only exists in a very good audience format. This one comes from January 10, 1979 at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale NY. While the first set, which we will hear this week, is not as outstanding as next week's Set 2, it is certainly enjoyable, in my opinion and has some nice highlights. The boys start out by taking us to the Promised Land, which gets everyone up on their feet. The Dire Wolf makes his appearance, then a very nice Mama Tried>Mexicali Blues with some nice Garcia flourishes throughout. Jerry's voice is a little strained at time, to my ears, but he makes up for it in the Tennessee Jed that follows with some excellent solo work inside. While this time marks the end of the great Keith and Donna period, Donna does some very nice work on the 'Looks Like Rain' that follows. This long first set has some ebb and flo, but don't miss the fine 'Loser' which marked the last appearance of 'Sweet Susie', or the powerful 'Music Never Stopped' that closes the set - classic Dead.     Grateful Dead Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum Uniondale, NY 1/10/79 - Wednesday One The Promised Land [4:27] ; Dire Wolf [3:52] ; Mama Tried [2:38] > Mexicali Blues [4:10] ; Tennessee Jed [8:27] ; Looks Like Rain [7:58] ; Stagger Lee [7:15] ; El Paso [4:15] ; Row Jimmy [12:07] ; Passenger [5:12] ; Loser [7:57] ; The Music Never Stopped [7:36]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod011819.mp3   It seems that ol' man Winter is blowing in this weekend - hope you stay warm and dry!

As we roll into Thanksgiving week, here is an outstanding first set from a great tour that took place during the Fall of 1971. This is from November 14th, 1971 at Fort Worth Texas. Part of this show was released as a (now out of print) Road Trips, but the entire show is a treasure and features a young band full of energy and fire. They open with a fine 'Bertha' with Keith's piano leading the way.. they follow with a 25-beat 'Beat It On Down the Line', but Billy stops at 24 so they reset with Garcia calling for '3'...it crackles. 'China Cat' follows with some wonderful soaring Garcia leads. the train starts rollin' in the fine transition into 'I Know You Rider' and I can just imagine the dancing! Don't overlook the fine 'El Paso' that follows, it has some beautiful Garcia throughout.. I won't try and describe each of these standards - some were new at the time others not, but this is a great recording of a period when the band was transitioning from its earlier more 'primal' sound to a bit slower tempo, '72 pace.     Grateful Dead Texas Christian University Fort Worth, TX 11/14/71 - Sunday One Bertha [5:54] Beat It On Down The Line [3:00] China Cat Sunflower [5:24] > I Know You Rider [5:18] El Paso [4:34] > Sugaree [6:27] Jack Straw [4:52] Big Railroad Blues [3:20] Me And Bobby McGee [5:31] Loser [6:24] Playing In The Band [5:59] Tennessee Jed [6:47] You Win Again [2:17] Mexicali Blues [3:18] Casey Jones [5:25] One More Saturday Night [4:30]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod111618.mp3     I hope you all have a very happy and safe Thanksgiving!

This week's Deadpod is the result of a request from a longtime listener/supporter of the show. It comes to us from early in 1972, March 5th, 1972, only the second show of that legendary year, and the last time that Pigpen played with the band in San Francisco. This show was a benefit for the American Indains, and the Dead were the third band on the agenda. It turns out that they were pressed for time a bit by the 2 AM curfew, and so the second set was a bit abbreviated and rushed. I've only presented here the songs that survive in soundboard format, and while there are several patches and glitches here the exuberance and magic of the performance won me over and I think it will you as well. The jamming, especially Garcia of course, comes at you in staccato bursts, in songs like Mexicali Blues and El Paso. The highlight of the show of course, is Pigpen's 'Good Lovin'. It is here, around the 6:40 mark, that some report the first occurance of the legendary 'mind left body' jam. I find the entire performance to be uptempo.. it makes me smile.. I hope you do too.   Grateful Dead Winterland Arena San Francisco, CA 3/5/72 - Sunday One (first 6 songs missing) Tennessee Jed [6:50] Jack Straw [4:52] China Cat Sunflower [#5:48] > I Know You Rider [4:#55] Mexicali Blues [3:32] You Win Again [349] El Paso [#4:18] Casey Jones [#5:57] Two Good Lovin' [16:24] Not Fade Away [3:20] > Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad [7:08] > Not Fade Away [3:10] Encore One More Saturday Night [#4:29]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod092818.mp3   keep the faith..

For a long Labor Day weekend I think this week's Deadpod provides a perfect soundtrack - the second set from the band's smoking performance on August 24th, 1972 at the Berkeley Community Theater in Berkeley CA. Each of these standards are played most excellently. In addition we are treated to a true pinnacle of improvisational excellence with the 'Dark Star>Morning Dew'. I would have thought they'd close out after that but rather than that they rev it back up with a hot 'Sugar Magnolia', 'Ramble on Rose' and 'Greatest Story'. Sing Me Back Home is sweet as always. While they close the set with a 'One More Saturday Night' (on a Thursday) they return with a most excellent 'Uncle John's Band' encore - a song that should have seen that spot more often.     Grateful Dead Berkeley Community Theatre Berkeley, CA 8/24/72 - Thursday   Two Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo [6:50] Mexicali Blues [3:21] Brown Eyed Women [4:43] Truckin' [9:01] Dark Star [27:14] > Morning Dew [13:00] Sugar Magnolia [7:52] Ramble On Rose [6:19] Greatest Story Ever Told [5:17] Sing Me Back Home [9:55] One More Saturday Night [4:30] Encore Uncle John's Band [7:11]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod083118.mp3   I hope you have a safe and fun Labor Day weekend..

You can feel the energy pumping out from them from Bertha onwards.. the Jack Straw is great, and you wonder how Eyes found its way into set 1, then when they hit Deal you think this set is over only to be treated to a fabulous Playin>Scarlet>Playin' sandwich..      Grateful Dead Roosevelt Stadium Jersey City, NJ 8/6/74 - Tuesday One Bertha [5:25] ; Mexicali Blues [3:28] ; Don't Ease Me In [3:24] ; Beat It On Down The Line [3:20] ; Sugaree [7:29] ; Jack Straw [5:12] ; Eyes Of The World [18:56] ; The Promised Land [3:13] ; Deal [4:50] ; Playing In The Band [22:52] > Scarlet Begonias [8:04] > Playing In The Band [5:43]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod081018.mp3   thanks for your kind support..    "Gave the best we had to give

A year ago I played what many would consider the 'big brother' to this week's Deadpod selection - 6/23/74. This week I'm going to begin to feature the night before - 6/22/74 Miami Florida. This band may stumble on occasion here.. the levels take a bit to get 'just exactly perfect', but remember it was a 'wall of sound' show, and overall this is a great recording. The first set which we will hear this week has more 'studio' type versions than long jammed out pieces, however there is still plenty here to sink your teeth into. Some very unusual and fine jamming in 'Greatest Story', a fine 'Jack Straw' and stand-alone 'Scarlet'. 'The Race is On' is always a joy to hear, and the set closing 'Playin' in the Band' is fabulous; I'm especially fond of Phil here..   Grateful Dead Jai-Alai Fronton Miami, FL 6/22/74 - Saturday One The Promised Land [3:18] > Bertha [5:24] ; Greatest Story Ever Told [5:34] ; Deal [4:42] ; Me And Bobby McGee [5:33] ; Scarlet Begonias [6:45] ; Jack Straw [4:40] ; Loose Lucy [4:43] ; Mexicali Blues [3:22] ; Sugaree [6:56] ; The Race Is On [3:07] ; It Must Have Been The Roses [5:23] ; Playing In The Band [29:14]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod062918.mp3     Let me be the first to wish you a very happy 4th of July!

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!       Grateful Dead Pauley Pavilion - University of California Los Angeles, CA 12/30/78 - Saturday One Jack Straw [5:28] ; They Love Each Other [6:58] ; Mama Tried [2:24] > Mexicali Blues [3:56] ; Loser [7:15] ; Looks Like Rain [7:54] ; Stagger Lee [5:33] ; Passenger [5:00] ; Tennessee Jed [8:44] ; New Minglewood Blues [5:14] ; Sugaree [9:15] ; The Promised Land [4:28]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod122917.mp3   I wish for everyone a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The boys always seemed to rock in the Land and this night was no exception as they started out with a great 'Alabama Getaway' into 'Promised Land'. Je4ry slows it down a bit with 'Candyman' but the 'Mexicali' is smokin'. A beautiful 'They Love Each Other' follows with some great leads from Jerry.

This week's Deadpod features a rather historic show in the band's history - this was the very first show with Keith Godchaux, on October 19th, 1971 in Minneapolis Minnesota. Not only was this Keith's first show it features the premier of six songs that would all become staples in the band's repertoire, Tennessee Jed, Jack Straw, Mexicali Blues, Comes a Time, One More Saturday Night and Ramble On Rose. There's plenty of energy in this set, and the new tunes and the addition of Keith mark a turning point in the band's trajectory, as the sound begins its transition to the characteristic sound of 1972.   Its also a nice coincidence that I received an email this week from the author of a new blog, all about 'Comes A Time' .. it has a nice writeup about this show as well as other great versions. You can find it here: https://gotanemptycup.wordpress.com/, check it out!     Grateful Dead Northrup Auditorium Minneapolis, MN 10/19/71 - Tuesday One Bertha [5:46] ; Me And My Uncle [3:01] ; Sugaree [6:14] ; Beat It On Down The Line [3:29] ; Cumberland Blues [5:01] ; Tennessee Jed [5:59] ; Black Peter [8:43] ; Jack Straw [5:02] ; Big Railroad Blues [3:14] ; Brown Eyed Women [4:15] ; Mexicali Blues [3:22] ; Comes A Time [7:01] ; Playing In The Band [5:42] ; One More Saturday Night [4:22] ; Casey Jones [5:47]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod102017.mp3   for some reason the number of listeners seems to have gone down a bit lately.. if you have any suggestions please let me know!   have a great week and thank you for your support!!

Here is the second set from the band's performance on July 25th, 1972 at the Paramount Theater in Portland Oregon. I think its a great performance to hear during these 'Days Between' as it showcases the band at one of the peak times of their career. Check out the rousing 'Greatest Story Ever Told' and the unusually languid 'China Cat->I Know You Rider' that follows. The Other One and the jams around it are the stars here however. I'm happy that this one includes a fine 'Wharf Rat'.. while the ballads during this period didn't match the intensity of the later years, it still holds a special place when I'm thinking about Jer.        Grateful Dead Paramount Theatre Portland, OR 7/25/72 - Tuesday   Two He's Gone [8:46] ; Greatest Story Ever Told [5:15] (6) ; China Cat Sunflower [6:38] > I Know You Rider [4:55] (7) ; Mexicali Blues [3:25] ; (8) Truckin' [11:58] > The Other One Jam [1:12] > Drums [3:02] > The Other One [27:11] > Wharf Rat [10:56] (9) ; Sugar Magnolia ; Sing Me Back Home [9:34] ; Not Fade Away [5:31] > Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad [7:22] > Not Fade Away [3:02] (10)   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod080417.mp3   Love is Real, Not Fade Away   thanks Jerry

An early April Fool's present for my Deadpod friends this week. This show, from April 1st, 1984 is much better to my ears than it appears on paper (and the second set, scheduled for next week, is even better). This show was the last show of the first Rex Foundation runs, so it was held in the very small Marin Veterans Memorial Auditorium. Personally I enjoy hearing Brent so upfront in the mix. The other general point that stands out to me is that Garcia is out front and outstanding on most of these songs. Jack Straw, big Railroad Blues, and Tennessee Jed are outstanding.      Grateful Dead Marin Veterans Memorial Auditorium San Rafael, CA  4/1/84 - Sunday One Jack Straw [5:48] ; Friend Of The Devil [8:30] ; Me And My Uncle [3:14] > Mexicali Blues [4:51] ; Big Railroad Blues [5:33] ; Cassidy [5:15] ; Tennessee Jed [#7:33] ; My Brother Esau [4:30] > Don't Ease Me In [3:12]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod033117.mp3   Heartfelt thanks to the kind listeners whose support of the Deadpod makes our weekly podcast possible. :)

Here's a top-notch show from the Fall of 1972 to start off your Thanksgiving week right.. this is from 11/14/72, Oklahoma City Oklahoma.. I consider this a very well played 16 song first set.. After an opening 'Promised Land' Garcia gives us a slow, rolling 'Sugaree'.  After the 'El Paso' that follows we get 'Loser' - a personal favorite of mine and a perfect song for the western setting.. the set is full of favorites from the GD catalog.. Bertha, Tennessee Jed, and a smart China->Rider with a smoking transition. Garcia's notes lift us up as we move into that Rider. Box of Rain follows, then he band rocks it out with a quadruple serving of rocking standards - Beat It on Down the Line, a bouncy up-tempo 'Friend of the Devil', 'Around and Around' and the archetypical warning to Casey to watch his speed...     Grateful Dead Oklahoma City Music Hall Oklahoma City, OK Date11/14/72 - Tuesday One   The Promised Land [2:56] ; Sugaree [7:41] ; El Paso [4:18] ; Loser [5:#58] ; Black Throated Wind [6:52] ; Bertha [5:49] ; Mexicali Blues [3:#10] ; Tennessee Jed [7:28] ; Big River [4:16] ; China Cat Sunflower [7:09] > I Know You Rider [5:05] Box Of Rain [4:50] ; Beat It On Down The Line [3:12] Friend Of The Devil [3:26] ; Around And Around [3:#09] ; Casey Jones [6:21]   There are some occasional sonic imperfections here, and a few cuts, but I hope you find this a pleasure to listen to as you get ready for the big holiday next week.   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod111816.mp3   Be kind to yourself - Be kind to each other   I am blessed to be able to bring you this music.

This week's Deadpod features set 2 from the Dead's performance at the Easttown Theater in Detroit Michgan back on October 24th, 1971. A fine recording, this set starts with a nice Truckin', especially enjoyable is the jam just before the last verse. What sounds odd here is that the song simply stops... They take up 'Ramble On Rose'. It being  only the 5th time they had played the song, the phrasing and even some of the lyrics are still being developed.. It is quite interesting to hear. Mexicali Blues follows (following an unusually loquacious introduction), this is a pleasure for me to hear. The Dark Star follows, and what is interesting to me, aside from the inherent originality of the jamming, is how the piece shows its development here from its earlier, more primal performances, towards where it will develop during the European tour to follow next year. As was their wont during this time, 'Me & Bobby McGee' follows, perhaps not the smoothest version ever, but still enjoyable. The old 'yellow dog' story gets pulled out afterwards..before we're treated to a 'Cumberland Blues' and one of the final 'St. Stephen's played until the band brought it back in 1976. Johnny B. Goode once again ends a fine performance..   Grateful Dead Easttown Theatre Detroit, MI 10/24/71 - Sunday   Two   Truckin' [8:24] ; Ramble On Rose [6:10] ; Mexicali Blues [3:26] ; Dark Star [20:47] > Me And Bobby McGee [5:29] ; Cumberland Blues [4:58] ; Saint Stephen [5:37] > Johnny B.

This is only the 6th show the band did without Pigpen, and some of the songs we get to hear in this first set are still relatively new.

This week's Deadpod really comes from one of my favorite years for the band - 1973. This show comes from the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana IL, from February 22nd, 1973. The first set starts out with a great rocking version of 'Promised Land' followed by a nice, bright version of 'They Love Each Other'. 'El Paso' follows - check out Phils' bass lines on this one, it too rocks.. Jerry brings out a fabulous 'Deal', with an excellent solo to follow. 'Looks Like Rain' follows a great 'Beer Barrel Polka' tuning. Jerry does an animated 'Tennesse Jed' and Phil follows that with a well done 'Box of Rain'. The 'Playin' in the Band' that follows lets the band spread their jazzy wings a bit and is very enjoyable to my ears.   Grateful Dead Assembly Hall - University Of Illinois Champaign-Urbana, IL 2/22/73 - Thursday One The Promised Land [3:00] ; They Love Each Other [5:19] ; El Paso [4:26] ; Bird Song [10:44] ; Mexicali Blues ; Deal ; Looks Like Rain [6:29] ; Tennessee Jed [7:41] ; Box Of Rain [4:45] ; Playin' In The Band [17:23] ;   These four songs are reported to follow but do not exist on any circulating tape: Row Jimmy [7:48] ; You Ain't Woman Enough [2:06] ; China Cat Sunflower [6:53] > I Know You Rider [4:42]     You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod021916.mp3   Thanks to those of you who make the Deadpod possible through your kind donations and support!   Love and Light.

As we head into the home stretch on 2015, I've decided to bring you another one of my favorites from 1980... this show took place at the University of Florida, Alligator Alley, on November 29th, 1980. This is a day after the show included on '30 Trips Around the Sun' and a day before the show immortalized on Dick's Picks' 8, Atlanta , 11/30/80. The boys were definitely on a roll and I hope you'll enjoy this fine audience recording of this performance this week and set 2 next week.  Being 1980 they roll out with a rocking Alabama Getaway into Promised Land. A wonderful Candyman follows, then Bobby takes over for a New, NEW Minglewood Blues, followed by a nice, lazy Row Jimmy. Mama Tried into Mexicali follows but then we have an excellent Althea.

The first set starts with an amazing sequence of Mississippi Half-Step into a wonderful Franklin's Tower, marred just a bit by the fact that the first 2 minutes of the Half-Step are missing from the soundboard tape. I just love Garcia as he across the Rio Grandio.. :) These two songs along go on for a half hour! What a great opening to this show. The rest of the first set, while somewhat predictable by late 70s standards is pleasing and well-played including a very nice Lazy Lightning->Supplication by Bob and a set closing Deal.  I'll play set 2 next week.    Grateful Dead Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum Uniondale, NY 11/2/79 - Friday   One Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo [10:36] > Franklin's Tower [17:45] ; El Paso [4:10] > Mexicali Blues [4:05] ; Tennessee Jed [8:31] ; Lazy Lightnin' [3:19] > Supplication [4:39] ; Deal [5:22]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod103015.mp3   A big thank you to the folks who have been able to support the Deadpod!

This week's Deadpod is the result of a request from one of my long time listeners' who reported that his wife had one of those annoying incidents where some lout dumped a beer on her during this, her very first Grateful Dead show and nevertheless remained tolerant enough to accompany him to yet another Dead show 15 years later where the same thing happened to the poor lady! Despite all that this is a great show, and I'm happy to bring it to you this week, this comes from Falls Church NY from May 8th, 1980. It opens with a rockin' Alabama Getaway, and shows that the boys are ready to rock on this night! Other highlights for me include a fine 'High Time' and a great version of 'Lazy Lightnin'->Supplication'.. I'll be playing the second set of this show next week..    Grateful Dead Glens Falls Civic Center Glens Falls, NY 5/8/80 - Thursday Set One Alabama Getaway [4:21] > The Promised Land [4:10] ; Friend Of The Devil [9:15] ; Mama Tried [2:28] > Mexicali Blues [4:11] ; High Time [8:06] ; Lazy Lightnin' [3:54] > Supplication [7:06] ; Ramble On Rose [7:35] ; Lost Sailor [6:09] > Saint Of Circumstance [6:07]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod081415.mp3

This week I'm going to start to present the Grateful Dead's performance at the famous Watkins Glen racecourse from July 28th, 1973. Not only was this the largest rock concert attendance wise ever up to this point, it of course is most famous perhaps for the soundcheck the band did the day before the actual performance which I'm going to showcase these next 3 weeks. I think that is somewhat unfair, as this is a great show, as most are from 1973, and I think it is a fine show to use to celebrate Jerry's Birthday coming up as it does on August 1st. This first part which I'm bringing you this week starts out with a hard charging 'Bertha' - Phil is leading the pack here, followed by a great 'Beat It On Down The Line', with some very nice keyboard work by Keith. Brown-Eyed Women follows, then a very fast tempo'd Mexicali Blues. Box Of Rain is very nicely done, and "Here Comes Sunshine' showcases Jerry doing some very nice explorations. Row Jimmy and Jack Straw follow, and then an explosive Deal is where we will leave off this week's Deadpod, with more to follow in the next two weeks. Grateful Dead Grand Prix Racecourse, Watkins Glen, NY (7/28/73) set 1 - partial Bertha Beat it on Down the Line Brown Eyed Women Mexicali Blues Box of Rain Here Comes Sunshine Looks Like Rain Row Jimmy Jack Straw Deal   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod072415.mp3   Thank you to those of you whose kind support makes the Deadpod possible!!   Good wishes to everyone!

This is such a great show that I'm astounded that I've not played it on the Deadpod until today.. as the 40th anniversary of this great show approaches I will right that oversight. One of the greatest first sets ever.. from Dijon France, September 18th, 1974. It opens with a warm, delightful Uncle John's Band.. then the great songs roll on, Jack Straw, Friend of the Devil, Black Throated Wind, Scarlet Begonias (!).. its an insane first set and the recording is magnificent as well. There's no reason to enumerate every great song here, but the 'To Lay Me Down' is clearly one of the most powerful ever.,    I hope you enjoy this masterpiece.      Grateful Dead Parc des Expositions Dijon, France Wednesday   One Uncle John's Band [8:39] ; Jack Straw [5:11] ; Friend Of The Devil [4:20] ; Black Throated Wind [6:53] ; Scarlet Begonias [8:34] ; Mexicali Blues [3:09] ; Row Jimmy [7:26#] ; Beat It On Down The Line [3:14] ; Deal [4:29] ; The Race Is On [3:08] ; To Lay Me Down [8:08] ; Playing In The Band [23:31]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod091214.mp3     Thank you for listening and for your support, which makes it possible to publish this music each week..

Here's a show that was recently requested over on the Deadpod's Facebook page.. since this is an excellent recording, I decided this would be a good time to play it. It comes to us from October 29th, 1971 from teh old Allen Theater in Cleveland Ohio. While I never saw the Dead at this venue it was an old movie house that saw lots and lots of rock shows around this time. The band was going through a period of transition and I think you can hear that in the music and arrangements in some of these songs which are still growing and changing. Pigpen was missing as well and his absence is surely felt here. Nevertheless I enjoy early 70s Dead especially around this time of year for some reason so I hope you 'll enjoy this week's first set. As they often did around this time, they open with a nice Truckin' .. the Sugaree is quite good as well. While many of these songs are lacking in long jams, they are all well played and I hope you enjoy hearing them this week.  Grateful Dead Allen Theatre Cleveland, OH 10/29/71 - Friday Set One Truckin' [8:54] ; Sugaree [6:27] ; El Paso [4:21] ; Loser [6:07] ; Playing In The Band [5:43] ; Brown Eyed Women [4:19] ; Beat It On Down The Line [3:19] ; Brokedown Palace [5:14] ; Jack Straw [4:56] ; Tennessee Jed [6:16] ; Mexicali Blues [3:00] ; Big Railroad Blues [2:55] ; Casey Jones [5:35] You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod011014.mp3 I hope its warmed up a bit where you are, and that the New Year has started out well for you!  As always, my most sincere thanks to those of you able to support the Deadpod - I really appreciate it!

Happy New Year! Well close enough ;) that said I decided to bring out one of the band's famous NYE performances for this week's (and next week's) Deadpod. This is from 12/31/79 at the Oakland Auditorium Arena in Oakland CA. While many would argue that this was not the best show of this NYE run (after all 12/28/79 was released as Road Trips Vol 3 #1, and 12/26/79 was Dick's Picks #5) there is still something magical about these NYE performances. This week we will listen to set 1, then sets 2 and 3 next week. Set one starts off strong with a great Jack Straw (listen to what sounds like the reference to Clive Davis of Arista Records in the "We used to sing for silver.. line :) Jack Straw flows into a big Franklin's Tower, albeit Jerry blows more than one lyric here.. Other highlights in this first set include a very nice 'Looks like Rain' and a rockin' Promised Land which closes out set 1...

I know that I may have featured too many shows this year from 1972 (is that possible?) but being that its the 40th anniversary of these shows I'm naturally led to take a look at them and often I'm drawn by their quality. 1972 was a wonderful year.. this week I decided to feature this show from the weekend before Halloween due principle to the fact that I really really want to play the Dark Star from set 2.. sometimes this desire to feature a particular segment or song from a show might cause me to feature some music that might not quite measure up.. I suppose that is the completest in me that prefers to feature whole shows rather than 'parts'. This week I'm playing set 1 of this show despite some sound issues with the mix - the vocals are often too low in the mix. Nevertheless the playing is first rate, as is the typically superb song selection. I hope you'll overlook the issues with the mix as I do, in anticipation of the wonderful Dark Star that awaits next week - besides this is a first rate set... :)   Grateful Dead Cleveland Public Hall 10/28/72 - Saturday SetOne: The Promised Land ; Friend Of The Devil ; Jack Straw ; China Cat Sunflower > I Know You Rider ; Mexicali Blues ; Box Of Rain ; Me And Bobby McGee ; Candyman ; Me And My Uncle ; Sugaree ; Playing In The Band ;   I really hope that you enjoy this one, in my mind, (and I'm probably biased as I grew up near Cleveland)  the band really played some fine music here...    You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod102612.mp3   thank you so much for your support of the Deadpod..  I really couldn't do the show without you!!!

I'm afraid that when I think of an iconic year for Grateful Dead music in the month of November that 1973 always pops into my mind. This, combined with a long-time request for this show on my request list, led to this week's show. Yes, this is only a day before the show released as Road Trips vol 4 no. 3, and that release does contain a few songs from this set 2, nevertheless, this music is far too wonderful not to be heard and treasured. In this week of Thanksgiving I can think of no better way to be grateful than to celebrate a great show like this one.. I hope you enjoy it as well my friends..

This week we'll hear the first set (and the opener of the 2nd), next week we'll finish up the show.. I really enjoyed the Alabama Getaway openers of this period and this is no exception. I also think you'll like the Little Red Rooster, Looks Like Rain and Peggy-O in this first set for sure. Samson and Delilah close out the set in an unusual position for this song, but one that works well.

Happy Groundhog day! This week, an overlooked show that I think is quite fine.. from 1981, a very original setlist and some fine playing, I think you'll enjoy it.. It's also the start of our pledge drive on the radio station, so its time for me to ask you for your support for the podcast, and the radio show. If you'd see it in your heart (and budget) to make a donation to the show, I'd greatly appreciate it! You can contribute by simply clicking on the 'Make a donation' button on the right hand side of the blog.. thanks so much!
