Dead Show/podcast for 2/23/24

A wonderful set of classic Grateful Dead awaits your listening pleasure on this week's Deadpod as we visit the second set from their performance on February 15, 1973 in Madison Wisconsin. 

The opening 'Here Comes Sunshine' foretells a special night as the band warms up with some fine renditions of several favorites leading into the real treat - a special 'Dark Star'. This version features some extra-special Phil Lesh contributions which foretell a lovely 'Eyes of the World'. The band paints a beautiful portrait here which then turns into a sweet soulful 'China Doll'. 

Things ramp up from there with versions of 'Promised Land' and 'Sugaree' before a set closing 'Sugar Magnolia. They return for double encore, of which we only have on this tape the fine 'Uncle John's Band'.

Thanks Professor. 1973. Dark Star> Eyes> China Doll. A reminder of incredible music for those that have heard it before - and hopefully a new window opening for folks hearing for the first time. Thanks for sharing such great tunes.

Awsome show! I know you wrote OMSN was missing but Uncle John's Band is clipped -- ending after the opening.
