Dead Show/podcast for 6/27/25

Here is the second set of the band's performance at the Forum in Inglewood California on June 4, 1977. 

A long and fine set of music, luckily for us captured by a nice audience recording, results in one of the few Spring '77 shows that hasn't been commercially released.  This show features quite a few 'big' numbers - Estimated>Eyes, Terrapin, Playin in the Band, Franklin's Tower.. The Playin' sandwich is really nicely done,, as is the transitions throughout the set. 

I hope you enjoy this one, my advice is to turn it up!

Dead Show/podcast for 6/20/25

This week, a show that is often overlooked because no soundboard or official release has ever seen the light of day - June 4, 1977 from the Forum in Los Angeles California. 

While this is an audience recording, it is a damm fine one, and it gets better as the show goes on.. the performance is stellar as well, and the band just keeps getting tighter and tighter. This nice long first set contains a number of highlights including a fine 'Jack Straw' a great 'Lazy Lightning>Supplication' and a fine 'Music Never Stopped'.

Dead Show/podcast for 6/12/25

This Friday the 13th we get to hear the remainder of the band's spontaneous performance at the Chateau d'Herouville in France on June 21, 1971.

I'm unsure if this was a 'second set' or if it was just broken down that way, but it features an outstanding 'That's It for the Other One' into a great 'Wharf Rat'.. Jerry adds an early 'Sing Me Back Home' as well.. 

Great early Dead.. hope you enjoy it!

Dead Show/podcast for 6/6/25

This week the Deadpod goes back to a crazy show that happened back on June 21, 1971, which was only the band's second performance in Europe.

Apparently they were invited to a outdoor festival in France by a rich fashion designer, who paid for the their transport, equipment and entourage to travel to Europe to play at this free festival. Well they were put in up some kind of nice Chateau, and the festival was rained out with a huge downpour. They sat around for a day or two and decided to break out the instruments and play at the grounds of the Chateau for the locals and those who traveled with them. The result is what we have here.. apparently the Chateau had quite a nice wine cellar which was liberated for the event and the audience spent a good deal of the time throwing each other into the pool.. 

I'm not at all sure that there were 'sets' in this show - this is how deadlists.com broke it down so I went with that - we'll hear the remainder next week..
