Dead Show/podcast for 1/23/09


Hello Friends!!
Despite my general state of confusion and uncertainty following my move I decided to share some Grateful Dead music in which I found some comfort this last week..
Not surprisingly, its from 1973 - its not a complete show, but nevertheless I so enjoy the way the band listened to each other and interacted that year that I decided to bring it to you this week.. I think you'll really enjoy the China Doll, Truckin'->Nobody's Fault->Eyes segment in particular...

Grateful Dead Pittsburgh Civic Arena Pittsburgh, PA 9/24/73 - Monday

Partial 1st Set: Loose Lucy [6:47] ; Looks Like Rain [7:21] ; Row Jimmy ; Big River [4:35]
Partial 2nd Set: Merry-Go-Round Broke Down ->Greatest Story Ever Told [5:09] ; China Doll [5:41] ; Truckin' [9:02] > Nobody's Fault But Mine* [3:20] > Jam [0:58] > Eyes Of The World [13:34]+
+ = with Martin Fierro and Joe Ellis on horns
* = first Nobody's Fault since 7/17/66 [799 shows]

You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:

    Not sure what I would do without it either professor. The music every Friday keeps me going. Keep on truckin' wherever you need to go.

    “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in" ......good to see your back Professor. Made me think of that Godfather quote. Sometimes I think I listen to the Dead to much and ill try to take a break but it doesn't last long. What would we do without them

  7. Great to hear a hometown show! I'm always just a little envious, having been born too late. It does give me the advantage of being able to use my imagination, though! Thanks!

    Where in Michigan did you move to? Are we going to get you on the air waves?

    I'm not sure as to whether I'll be on the air any time soon - KOPN may want to broadcast some recordings we will see..
    thanks!

  10. Great Show! Awesome to hear a show from my home town! I still go to the civic arena often to see the Penguins play hockey. I can only imagine how awesome a dead show would be there. The building's only got a year or so left. They've already broken ground on the new stadium "Consol Energy Arena".
