Our post-Christmas Deadpod for this week features a show from the band's New Year's run in 1991, this one from Saturday night December 28, 1991.
While it is a Saturday night, the band surprises us by opening up with a (partial) version of 'One More Saturday Night' before heading into 'Jack Straw'. Bobby screws up his line, resulting in a roar from the crowd, but the real story of this set is that the band is tight and Jerry is in both fine voice and great virtuosity. Personal highlights include the 'Minglewood', 'Cassidy' and a great set-closing 'Deal'.

Dead Show/podcast for 12/20/19
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!
This week's Deadpod celebrates the season with a show from December 23, 1970 at the Winterland in San Francisco CA.
I have three different sources for this show, each of them slightly different - I decided to put two of them together. I'm sure the order is probably not right, but the recordings each sound quite nice and I'm hoping that you'll enjoy them this week, as we celebrate the holidays and the fact that soon the days will start to grow lighter each day.
Here's the combined setlists:
Grateful Dead
Winterland Arena
San Francisco, CA 12/23/70 - Wednesday
first tape:
Hard To Handle
Candyman
Me & My Uncle
Cold Rain and Snow
Second tape:
Deep Elem Blues ;
Beat It On Down The Line ;
I’m A King Bee ;
Me And My Uncle ;
Cumberland Blues
Me & Bobby McGee
Dire Wolf
Good Lovin'
Casey Jones>
Uncle John's Band
Benefit for the Montessori School and Bear

Dead Show/podcast for 12/13/19
Lucky us! We get to listen to this wonderful second set from December 1, 1979 at the Stanley Theater in Pittsburgh PA on this week's Deadpod.
This is a fine recording and the music is quite good, even thrilling at times. The China>Rider opener is just right, then pay attention to the fine opening to 'Looks Like Rain'.. quite unique. 'He's Gone' is done quite well alos, and leads into a wonderful jam that is clearly the highlight of this show.. including a 'Gloria' refrain'.. but just let yourself be carried by Garcia's shaping of the musical atmosphere here.. Listen to how worked up Bobby gets in the (first ever) CC Rider..
The rest of the set is more standard, but still a pleasure to hear, including a very fine 'Black Peter'.

Dead Show/podcast for 12/6/19
Here's a show that I attended and found to be quite magical at the time.. it is from December 1st, 1979 at the Stanley Theater in Pittsburgh PA. A beautiful, small venue, the energy on this night was unmatched and I'm sure it comes through on this nice recording.
The show starts with a smoking 'Jack Straw', which Jerry then takes into a long and beautiful 'Sugaree'. After this we know we're in for an evening of great jamming, and the boys don't let us down. 'Uncle>Big River', is even full of life, and 'Loser' always a favorite of mine, is perfect.
Brent, still new on keyboards, sings a nice 'Easy to Love You'. Bobby's slide work in the 'Minglewood' that follows, could be better but a great 'Althea' saves the day and the band ends this first set with a wonderful 'Music Never Stopped'.. We'll hear set 2 next week...
