This week a truly great show suggested by one of my wonderful listeners in honor of the passing of Martin Fierro - The Spectrum, September 21st, 1973. Although Martin doesn't play sax until the second set I couldn't bare to not play the entire show so we will get to his performance next week. This week, I hope you enjoy the wonderful and well-played first set, including such gems as "Here Comes Sunshine", and "Black Peter". Jerry and Keith in particular shine in this first set.....

Date 9/21/73 - Friday
One Big Railroad Blues ; Me And My Uncle ; Brown Eyed Women ; Beat It On Down The Line ; Sugaree ; Big River ; Here Comes Sunshine ; El Paso ; Loose Lucy ; Jack Straw ; Black Peter ; Playing In The Band

Thanks for coming through for me on this Prof. A nice way to remember...
ReplyDeleteMy first (and many other) dead show was at the Philly Spectrum. A great place to see the boys play.
ReplyDeleteHey Prof.
ReplyDeleteThis actually was my first Grateful Dead Show though my epiphany with the whole trip was a couple of months later in Boston 12/2/73. It's great to hear this one again 35 years later. Thanks.
Hey Professor thought you might be able to do something for Pig who's passing was March 8. Rotterdam Civic Hall 5-11-72 has lots of classic Pig. Thanks for all the good times.
ReplyDeleteHey Professor, I was reading David Dodd's Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics and I stumbled onto Alice D Millionaire (No Time to Cry)and fell in love with the song. Being the young Dead listener that I am, I realized I have never heard this song before. Was hoping maybe you have a show with this song and could include it into a future show. Thanks for the amazing music, and your hard work to keep the Dead music alive for other generations.
ReplyDeleteDear Professor,
ReplyDeleteThis podcast is the greatest thing ever. I listen to the show everyday on my break from work and imagine myself at the show.
Is there anyway you could play a show with Bertha?
Thanks!
These are some great suggestions -
ReplyDeletethank you all for posting them!!
I'll see what I can do soon about getting some primal Dead back on the Deadpod - I'm not sure I have a show with Alice D Millionaire in it - but I will try and find one!
have a great week friends!
