Dead Show/podcast for 11/12/10

This week's Deadpod, I think, is not to be missed.. not only does it have one of the greatest Dark Stars you'll ever hear, but the transition from Morning Dew back into Playin' *HAS TO BE HEARD* :) , then after a wonderful Deal and Promised land they even play a Brokedown Palace.. this show is a great journey through the classic Grateful Dead songbook..

I highly recommend this one....

Dead Show/podcast for 11/5/10

This week's Deadpod was inspired by someone who actually posted about the show that occurred the night after this one on an internet group I belong to - but it brought this entire run to mind and I really wanted to share *this* night with you - as I find the second set in particular, to be quite extraordinary. This entire 3 show run in fact is quite good, and I enjoy this week's first set very much - in particular an outstanding 'Bird Song' and an exquisite China->Rider..

This week I had that itch for some Jerry Band - so I decided to bring you this 'hybrid' Deadpod composed of two partial soundboards of Pure Jerry :)
Both are from the Keystone in Berkeley about a year apart - but both are well worth listening to despite the fact that we're missing some of the music..

Dead Show/podcast for 10/22/10

This week we have another long Deadpod - I hope you don't mind too much but I couldn't bear to break it up.. this set is the second set from a show the Dead played at Red Rocks back in 1978, just before they left for the famous Egypt shows. I decided to share it with you this week because it contains probably the finest version ever of 'If I Had The World To Give'.... I can't say enough about this one.. don't miss it..
The rest of the set isn't too shabby either - I always enjoy a good 'Eyes of the World' and this one is no exception, but the band only played 'If I Had The World to Give' four times.. and this one is fabulous..
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do..

This week not only do we have a good set to listen to - its a long one :) This of course is the conclusion of the show we started last week, September 25th, 1981 from Stabler Arena in Bethlehem PA. This is not only an interesting setlist (how many second sets started off with 'Might As Well'?), but its very well played - I'm particularly fond of the Scarlet->Fire and everything after space.... of course I'm a fan of Brent most of the time, so I enjoy his styling here as well, your mileage may vary..

Dead Show/podcast for 10/8/10

This week's Deadpod comes as the result of a request from a Deadpod listener and contributor (thanks Bud!).. and I think its a very interesting show.. from 1981, one of my favorite and oft-overlooked years, this show features some above average Brett and its really quite a *long* show.. The Althea and Music Never Stops in set 1 are quite interesting.. I hope you agree..

Always is a good time for some Good Ol' Grateful Dead- well this is the definition of primal Dead I think... 68 Dead.. Charlie Miller, what more can you want?
This is a great Antham-era Dead show, and its possible that parts of this were used on that album.. I'm very fond of the Schoolgirl.. as good ol' Pigpen is in fine form..
Enjoy.

I think this is as fine a second set as you'll hear in early 80's Dead, and I'm very happy to present it this week.. I certainly hope you agree..
Bobby and Jerry trade off quite well throughout..
the Eyes is definitely one of the best, and I always love a great Stella Blue..

This weekend is the last official weekend of Summer and I felt like I should send it out with a great show from one of the Dead's Summer tours - this show was a suggestion from one of my wonderful listeners and I thought it fit the bill.
This show features some great interplay between Jerry and Brent as well as a very high energy level all around.. I personally love the last three songs of this first set! I hope you enjoy it as well..

This week we get to hear the second set from the "comeback" show that the Dead played on 12/15/86 in Oakland..
I think this is quite a good show - not only is it the first time they performed "Black Muddy River" but the Playin' Sandwich - and the Terrapin in particular that is in the middle - is *very* tasty..

Dead Show/podcast for 9/3/10

This week's Deadpod was a request from a brother who just lost a brother - one of his best memories of his late friend was a roadtrip to see this show, and what a show it was! This was the 'comeback' show where Jerry made his return after the coma that nearly took his life in 1986 - no one knew what was going to happen, and what a great choice for a opener in Touch of Grey! The entire show really sparkles, with a newfound energy and some great new MIDI sounds. To me, the energy of renewal present in this show fits perfectly at this time of year, besides I couldn't turn down a grieving friend.. I hope you enjoy it....

This week's show is from a listener request - this show will soon have its 25th anniversary and a very fine show it is so I decided to bring it to you starting this week.
A laid-back, west coast Dead show but one where you can almost feel the sunshine and the smiles on everyone's faces.. I enjoyed listening to this and hope you do as well, it features a nice unusual set list and very nice playing - set 2 will come next week...

This week I'm playing the 2nd set from the show on Feb. 21st, 1995 from the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. I find this to be an excellent second set - not only is Jerry's jams out of Truckin' interesting and fun, but the Visions of Johanna is one for the ages. Add to that a great Liberty encore and I think this show is far from depressing... but that's just my opinion.. I hope you enjoy it!!

Fifteen years - man that's a long time.. too long.. but on this anniversary time I'm moved to play something from the last year - and I know Garcia was failing and the music wasn't the same and on and on.. but I remember seeing the Dead in '95 , a couple of times, and by the last time I knew it would be the last time .. and anyway, this is one really nice show, there are moments of true beauty here and that's the legacy that Garcia so freely shared with us....

This week we really hit the climax of this show from July 18th, 1972 - the Dark Star ->Comes a Time.. this is fabulous stuff, in my opinion.. and I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I've read that Dylan was backstage at this show and that it was the first time he met Garcia - who knows ;) at any rate the group consciousness is clearly evident here and flows from the Star and Comes a Time into that rare 3rd set...

A nice fat summer show that marks its anniversary this weekend is up for this week's Deadpod..
This comes to us from Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City NJ, and took place on July 18th, 1972.
We'll listen to most of the first set this week - this is a wonderful show, and while Pigpen isn't there (he was sick we're told).. it marks one of the first big stadium shows and I think the Dead did it up right...
I especially enjoy the tempo on the China Cat (a bit slower than you're used to hearing.. ) and of course the wonderful Bird Song, Sugaree and Loser.. besides we get a Stella Blue in set 1!

Every so often I get the craving for some 'pure' Jerry - and this is one of those weeks - this week I'm bringing you one of the lesser known of the bands Jerry played with - Reconstruction. 

Here's the lineup for this show:

Jerry Garcia guitar, vocals
John Kahn bass
Merl Saunders keyboards
Ed Neumeister trombone
Ron Stallings saxophone, vocals
Gaylord Birch drums

It's possible that this isn't everyone's cup of tea - but while its not the most well-known Garcia, I think you'll enjoy it...

I had a request a couple weeks back to play something for the folks suffering from the horrible floods that hit Nashville TN recently - I know there are still alot of folks there who won't have their lives together for awhile and I thought about this 'partial' soundboard from a wonderful show the boys played there back in 1972 - in fact you can read all about this show and see some newspaper clippings and such about the show here:

This week's Deadpod answers another listener request - and frankly this show is *electric*
If you don't dig this first set I don't know what's up.. this is one of Dick Latvala's favorite sets and its easy to see why he coined the term 'Primal Dead' for it.. the first set is fabulous -we probably don't have everything here -- but what is here exists in really wonderful quality and reflects the band as young and fully charged.. in every sense..I'm sure you'll enjoy this one !

This week - in a nod I suppose to the new Rhino release from the Summer of '89, I decided to feature this fine show from the spring of that year. This was originally a Rex Benefit, at the Frost Ampitheater in Palo Alto CA, a fine venue that the band always seemed to enjoy playing.

This show is no exception, the first set perhaps has a somewhat mellow tempo or vibe, but I think they display fine form on Peggy-O and They Love Each Other.. the Race Is On indicates it must be Derby day ;). I'm not a huge West LA fan, but I am a fan of Brent's 'Just A Little Light'.. I think it was always special when they did a China->Rider to close out a first set..

Dead Show/podcast for 04/30/10

Hello Friends! this week we'll listen to the second set of this fine show from the beginning of the famous Spring of 1977 tour, in Philadelphia PA. This starts with a very nice Scarlet->Fire, a very new combination at the time, and Jerry does an excellent job jamming out on this one. It's followed by a wonderful Samson & Delilah - love the way Bob phrases this one, then a personal favorite, Must have Been the Roses. An unusual Dancin->Got My Mojo Workin'->Dancin' leads into the Wheel-Terrapin combo which closes this gem. This may not be the very best show of this tour, but it is a great listen and I hope you enjoy it!

Dead Show/podcast for 4/23/10

I can usually hold off on these until May officially rolls in, but this spring has come early, and with it, my desire to sample one of these delicious shows from Spring of 1977 - this one is also from the start of the tour, but its a beauty.. This first set starts off with that slow tempo many of these sets exhibit, but by the time we reach that Playin' which closes the first set - Zowie! - we're really in the zone..

Dead Show/podcast for 04/16/10

This week we will hear the rest of Grateful Dead's performance at the Scope in Norfolk, VA, on April 3rd, 1982. After that interesting Scarlet->Fire we heard to close last week's Deadpod, the band goes into a fairly long and jammy Estimated, then a nice Eyes into Brent's "Never Trust A Woman" - while this may not have been your favorite back in the day, I admit I really enjoy listening to Brent now.. after the drums/space, the band goes into a nice NFA->Stella Blue.. an always welcome US Blues encore rounds out an enjoyable show..

This week we'll listen to the rest of set 1 of this classic Dead show from 1982, The Scope in Norfolk VA. In addition to an outstanding Peggy-O, the highlight of this week's show for me, is the outstanding Scarlet->Fire - check out Bobby who is really "ON" during the transition jam... I think its quite worthwhile...

This week we get to listen to the final part of the Dead's performance on April 27th, 1971 at the Fillmore East, NYC., NY. This includes a wonderful "Sing Me Back Home" and a classic Pigpen Lovelight.. I'm sure you'll enjoy it...

In addition, because this didn't seem quite enough for a Deadpod , I decided to begin a set suggested by one of my wonderful listeners, 4/3/82 from Norfolk VA - we'll only get to hear the first part of set 1, but I think this is a unique show, and its fun to hear this early 80s Dead sound.. I hope you agree!

This week's Deadpod continues with the second set of this wonderful show from the Fillmore East, April 27th, 1971.. It starts with some fine classic Dead tunes, then the boys are joined onstage by the Beach Boys!

Dead Show/podcast for 3/19/10

Sometimes events happen that push me to pick out a show for the Deadpod that I hadn't been thinking about at all.. such happened this week - first the newest "Road Trips" Release - Nov. 15, 1971 from Austin Texas arrived in my mailbox - I don't often gush over these but this is a good one! At about the same time a series of new releases on the tape collecting scene from legendary collector Charlie Miller - including this beauty from a legendary night at the Fillmore East in New York City, April 27th 1971. While this night is best known for the second set we'll hear next week (when the boys are joined on stage by the Beach Boys) - this first set has some mighty fine playing on it - including what is arguably the best "Hard To Handle" you'll find..

Dead Show/podcast for 3/5/10

This week's Deadpod features a wonderful show that happened on this date 38 years ago.. March 5, 1972 at Winterland in San Franscisco CA. While there are a few tape splices on this overall I think while this is not a pristine recording that's its quite listenable and the band is in fine fine form. Keith is new to the lineup and a great addition at this point (and listen for Wavy Gravy at the start of China Cat).. and of course its great to listen to Pigpen as well..

We'll play the second set next week........

This week's Deadpod features the second set of this classic show from the Spring of 1990, appropriately enough I suppose, from Canada, given the Olympics and all :)
Brent really shines on this set, as is very apparent in the Scarlet->Fire transition and in the soulful Hey Jude... Jerry favors us with the very last version of 'Believe It Or Not'.. all in all a wonderful set of music...

Dead Show/podcast for 02/05/2010

This week I'm going to bring you the entire second set from this legendary show that took place on December 6th, 1973 in Cleveland Ohio. My first show, I had no idea what I was witnessing - but of course I'm sure it permanently altered my DNA :) This second set features one of the greatest versions of 'Here Come Sunshine' and of course, a legendary Dark Star. The length of this Deadpod is substantially longer than usual, but the music is so substantial that I know its well worth the investment ...

Dead Show/podcast for 01/29/2010

This week's Deadpod features, yes, another show from 1973.. but speaking of *this* show as 'another show from 73' strikes me as a sacrilege simply because not only was this show, my baptism to the Grateful Dead, its one of their all-time classics, in my opinion.
While its true that your brains won't be melted until the Dark Star in the second set, the first set which we will play this week, features plenty of 'Good Old' Grateful Dead to get your blood flowin' during these cold Winter days....

Dead Show/podcast for 1/22/10

This week marked the 75th birthday of one of the most pivotal characters in the history of the Grateful Dead, Owsley Stanley.
It would certainly not be an exaggeration to claim that the Grateful Dead would not have been without his help and involvement - nor even to say that the world is a much different place because of all he has done..
Jamie Waddell over at Lossless legs released this music, recorded by Bear himself, to mark the occasion and I felt it a noteworthy moment and wanted to share it with you..

This is a beautiful show, nicely recorded (there are spots with quite a lot of reverb) and not every song was recorded.. we have what Bear decided to record... but I do think you'll enjoy it..

Dead Show/podcast for 01/15/2010

This week - the second part of this fabulous recording of Jerry Garcia and Merle Saunders during the salad days of 1973 - July 10th at the Keystone in Berkeley CA.
I don't have alot to say about this - let you ears enjoy the genius displayed and lose yourself in this fabulous recording...

the notes for this recording state: "I'm not sure on the lineage but I've thought alot about it. It's obviously a multitrack mixdown(gaps between tunes). Some of the JGB stuff from the Debbie Stash are masters(like 6-6-73!!). My best guess of the 7-10-73 is Multitracks(Bob and Betty Ampex MM110)>2 track mixdown MR>R @ 7 1/2 ips.(WB)>DVD. That's what I think it is esp. being a 7 1/2 ips. reel and the dynamics(nice!!). It was probably "working reels" for the original album that Jerry had maybe that he was picking tunes from"

Perhaps it seems that I've played more than my usual share of Garcia recently - but this newly released gem demands to be heard.. This is (probably) a multi-track recording with the legendary Merle Saunders at the Keystone in Berkeley CA, July 10, 1973.
This is a truly wonderful recording, and if you're a fan of Jerry/Merle then you'll really enjoy this week's and next week's show (when I play the rest of this show)...
Not only does this week's set feature the very first 'The Harder They Come' performance, every song is really a treat, in my opinion....

Today I decided that I would finish playing the excellent 2nd set from 3/24/86 that I started 2 weeks ago, rather than bring you a New Year's Eve show - in my opinion this is a fine second set that I'm sure you will enjoy!! It contains the very last Lost Sailor->Saint of Circumstance, and an outstanding Morning Dew - I know, there's no Sugar Magnolia, but the Midnight Hour Encore is a keeper!

Dead Show/podcast for 12/18/09

This week's Deadpod has two unusual occurances - first a show from 1986 - a year I usually find quite depressing and an audience tape to boot! I think when you give this show a listen you'll understand why I decided to ignore my prejudices and post this classic show! This one starts with a smokin' Alabama Getaway into Greatest Story.. there's a *fine* Dire Wolf and I was always a fan of Brother Esau.. the rest of the set is very well played as well, and closes with the second Box of Rain in a week after having not been played since '73.. the crowd goes predictably wild.. :)

I hope you enjoy the performance..

Dead Show/podcast for 12/11/09

This week's Deadpod starts with one of my all-time favorite Shakedown Streets - this one really blows the doors off the place then seques into a fine Samson & Delilah..After a sweet Ship of Fools we're treated to a great ride on the Terrapin Express!! This set seems a real precursor of the fine shows to follow in 1980 and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.. the double encore, Alabama Getaway into Promised Land, shows me the band had a great time this night as well!

Dead Show/podcast for 12/4/09

This week's Deadpod features a show that I've always enjoyed, although the recordings that were previously available of it were all flawed in various ways (off pitch, and Jerry was always low in the mix).. this new release from Charlie Miller fixes many of these problems and I think you'll really enjoy the energy the band shows throughout the show....

Here's hoping you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I always like bringing you some great acoustic music over the holidays and this year is no different - I managed to pull out this recording from my collection - it features a favorite lineup of mine, the Jerry Garcia Accoustic Band and the famous Lunt-Fontainne theater in New York City..
The Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band consisted of:

• Jerry Garcia - guitar, vocals
• David Nelson - guitar, vocals
• Sandy Rothman - mandolin, dobro, banjo, vocals
• John Kahn - bass
• Kenny Kosek - fiddle
• David Kemper - drums

I think you'll enjoy the sound on this recording and I hope the music brings a smile and helps you enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend!

Dead Show/podcast for 11/20/09

This week I'm doing something I don't usually do - and that is rather than play this complete show over two weeks I decided to play you the real heart of this show this week - (not saying I can't be persuaded to play the rest of this... :) partly because its Thanksgiving and I have something in mind for next week :)
Be that as it may - this piece of music, from the second set of 11/17/73 is simply astounding. It represents a true pinacle of the outstanding musicianship that the band achieved during this landmark year. I challange any fan of the band to not be moved by this remarkable piece of music - clearly when they play like this I am firmly convinced that their music is for the ages...

Our next Deadpod will be after Thanksgiving - so I want to wish you all a very very special and happy Thanksgiving. I'm so very grateful for your support and all the kind words and wishes you send me all year long!!!
I'll have a special Thanksgiving Deadpod for you next week...

Dead Show/podcast for 11/13/09

This week's Dead show is more than just a classic 1977 show - its that for sure - and its much more than the first time we get an Eyes of the World going into an Estimated Prophet - although this show is the first time that happens too.. its the kind of magical, rocking, charging life affirming and soul-baring music that makes me fall in love with the Grateful Dead over and over again..

There's plenty to love in this set - the fine Samson->Cold rain starts the set perfectly.. the Playin' in the band builds and builds and then explodes into the Eyes of the World that is played at a real breakneck pace. While I'm not often a fan of Eyes played this way, Jerry's almost maniacal energy on this version can't fail but bring you up out of your feet - its almost 'hummingbird' like in the way he makes that guitar flitter and sing.. followed by a good Estimated, but then Phil drops the hammer and the band goes into a short, but intense, Other One...
after drums.. the band slowly builds into an Aiko, Aiko that is surprisingly slow-paced, but the band then drops into a classic 1977 Stella Blue, then a playin' reprise to end the set..
The encore tells us the band has had as much fun as we have...

Dead Show/podcast for 11/06/09

I must say that my listeners are simply the best ! I received an simply perfect request this week for the show we're going to start listening to this week as I was casting about in my mind trying to decide what to play... and what a show it is. This show not only shows the band in a period of transition from their slower tempo early '77 style of playing to the more uptempo arrangements of 1978 but its simply one of the best shows of the entire year. The first set which we'll listen to this week, not only blasts out of the gates with a fabulous Bertha->Good Lovin' , but keeps up a most memorable and high energy performance on every tune. Not to be missed, the set closing Let It Grow is truly outstanding, and really shows the unique ability of the band to fire off in all directions yet to find the 'one' and bring us all back into harmony and love.. whew.. a great set and the second set from next week is even better.....

Howdy Friends - no tricks this week - just a real musical treat - the remainder of the electric set from 10/26/80 at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, NY.. This is very fine set of music - Jerry is in very fine voice and Bob is *very* animated (in fact watch your speakers at the end of Good Lovin!!!!)..
Althea, He's Gone, Stella Blue and one of the most beautiful Brokedown's ever highlight this spectacular set of classic Dead - I sure hope you enjoy it!!

Dead Show/podcast for 10/23/09

I'm surrounded by beautiful Fall foliage here in Michigan this time of year and it brought to mind this quite remarkable period of Dead shows. I will never forget when I saw the Dead open up sitting around and playing accoustic music. I loved those shows, and unfortunately there aren't a whole lot of soundboards of complete shows from that period that are out but this is one and I hope that you enjoy hearing it as much as I do.

Yes the acoustic sets may not have as much variety as we'd like - but I really doubt that you can avoid having a smile as you listen to the boys chat between tunes or sing along as you listen to Ripple.. its a real pleasure for me and I hope you enjoy it as well..

Dead Show/podcast for 10/16/09

This week we get to listen to one of the best second sets that the band produced in 1983.. Each of these songs individually is played with a verve that will bring a smile to your face, but the totality, as is often the case with the Dead, is much more than the beauty of the individual songs.
I could tell you how much I enjoy this particular china->rider, or the wonderful Space into the best St. Stephen of the last three the band played, but I'd rather you simply enjoy this set and the joy that I hope it brings you...

I can't, but here's one I can, this week a request for a show from Hartford CT, back in 1983 - and this is a very very fine show..

Dead Show/podcast for 10/2/09

this week's Deadpod features the 2nd set of this entertaining show from 9/24/91, Boston MA.
Its one of those second sets that I really enjoy the song choices.. China->Rider is always a keeper, and Man Smart, Woman Smarter always got everyone on their feet! The Ship of Fools->Dark Star is fine as well. A rare Foolish Heart out of space, and one of these later day 'Standing On the Moon's that is very mellow.. The Weight encore caps a set that really does move my soul.

Dead Show/podcast for 9/18/09

I had a request from one of my long time listeners for some primal Dead.. preferably from '67..
Well I have been wanting to break this out for a while and while its not quite '67 its only a month off.. Jan of '68 .. although there has been some discussion as to the legitimacy of the date and venue of this show.. what there is no question of is that this is a helluva piece of early Dead music.. I really enjoy the Born Cross-Eyed, well and the Spanish Jam and the Dark Star.. and and : ) Seriously this piece will take several listens to fully digest ..

Enjoy this sample of electric. live, Good Old Grateful Dead...

This week we have the entire second set of the Dead's wonderful performance at the Orlando Arena on April 7th, 1991. A splendid example of Garcia and Hornsby, this set opens with a splendid Crazy Fingers into an always enjoyable Playin'>Uncle John's>Playin' sandwich... I especially enjoy the jamming in the Playin' reprise, which goes into a very enjoyable drumz>space segment. 

The set closes with a wonderful Hornsby presence on the 'Baby Blue' encore..

Its another show where the interplay between Garcia and Hornsby causes some wonderful sparks to fly.. add to that the Reuben and Cherise and its a very interesting listen.. I hope you enjoy it.

Dead show/podcast for 08/14/09

As I'm sure you know, this weekend marks the 40th anniversary of Woodstock..
of course the Grateful Dead played there - in fact they were one of the headliners - yet they thought so little of their performance there that they never had anything good to say about it..

Whether the Dead's performance was any worse than any number of shows is an open question, yet the significance of the event for the culture Zeitgeist is beyond question.. We start this week's Deadpod with a discussion with author Pete Fornatale, whose new book Back to the Garden, The Story of Woodstock presents an oral history of this amazing event..

We then listen to two songs from the Dead's performance that night -
High Time and Lovelight, the latter where the band is joined by a very high Ken Babbs...
Hope you enjoy the show..

I really love listening to Jerry during this period.. truly one of the highlights of an extraordinary life..
