Dead show/podcast for 5/29/09

Wow, this week we're lucky enough to listen to a real find, courtesy of Jamie Waddell, who claims to have been turned on to this amongst a box of tapes turned on to him at a yard sale of all places...
this is a really nice JGB show from 1987, and while the first song (both this week and next) come from an audience patch, the rest is very high quality soundboard.
I know you're going to enjoy this one if you a fan of the big guy.. :)

nice cut professor.

especially love the setlist. I love JGB when they hit the reggae button.

Any Jimmy Cliff is an obvious reggae tune, but 'I Shall Be Released' is a great one that has had its share of great reggae versions (I suggest any listener check out some Jacob Miller & The Inner Circle)

Keep the wonderful tunes flowing

Professor,
Im 16 and love the Dead for their combination of every great styles of music. Earlier you played the fillmore east in february, which is great pigpen dead. I was wondering if you could play some great '77 dead, perhaps winterland or pembroke pines. Also, Dick's Picks 33, in 76 is supposed to be a real gem, I would love to hear it. Keep up the good work!

Love Bonnie Raitt, and loved this set. Many thanks! I highly recommend Bonnie's most recent album (please note that, as I write this, it's 2013). =)

Hi Professor - Just wondering if there's a reason that this particular show isn't available. Would love to give it a listen. Many thanks! -Bob

Yes - the estate sent me a cease and desist millennium copyright notice threatening legal actions and fines if I did not immediately remove any Jerry Garcia Band performances.
I had no choice but to cooperate.
