Dead Show/podcast for 2/25/11

Again, this week we have the pleasure of listening to truly classic Grateful Dead, this time the second set from February 18th, 1971 at the Capitol Theater in Port Chester N.Y. While this second set does not contain the transcendent beauty of the jam between Wharf Rat and the Dark Star reprise, it does contain the very first 'Playin' in the Band' as well as a superbly played Saint Stephen->Not Fade Away->Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad->Not Fade Away combo that really can't be beat.. Put this together with last week's pod for one of the greatest shows in the Dead genre..

Dead Show/podcast for 2/18/11

Today is the 40th anniversary of this classic Grateful Dead show - just imagine that you were at this show. This show saw the first 'Bertha', the first 'Greatest Story Ever Told', the first 'Johnny B. Goode', the first 'Loser', the first 'Playin' in the Band' and the first 'Wharf Rat'!!!
Not only did this show mark the debut of all these classic Dead shows but also one of the most beautiful, creative and spontaneous jams - the one from Wharf Rat into Dark Star...
this one is well worth playing today especially in this newly released splendid soundboard.. Enjoy..

This week we'll hear set 2 of the Grateful Dead's performance on May 9th, 1987 at the Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey California. While I would agree that its not the most unique setlist, its still quite enjoyable - I'm especially fond of the He's Gone->Drumz->Space segment of this one, as well as the Iko encore..

Dead Show/podcast for 2/4/11

This week, a request for a show that I've been told was great fun to attend, where after the show they actually filmed the video for 'Touch of Grey' afterwards..
I think its a fun, high energy set we'll listen to this week, next week I'll play set 2. I especially enjoy Weir and Brent's contributions - Tons of Steel is fab..
Hope you enjoy it!
