Dead show/podcast for 5/29/09

Wow, this week we're lucky enough to listen to a real find, courtesy of Jamie Waddell, who claims to have been turned on to this amongst a box of tapes turned on to him at a yard sale of all places...
this is a really nice JGB show from 1987, and while the first song (both this week and next) come from an audience patch, the rest is very high quality soundboard.
I know you're going to enjoy this one if you a fan of the big guy.. :)

Dead show/podcast for 5/15/09

I receive quite a few requests for shows to play on the Deadpod - and unfortunately can't publish all of them, but I've had a few requests recently for some "primal" Dead. Coinciding with this request was the release of a new version of the classic show we're going to start to listen to this week, without one of the brutal cuts that plagued all earlier versions, from master collector Charlie Miller, so it seemed to me that the fates were telling me to bring this show to you.. I'm certain you'll enjoy this - the band just *smokes* on this one, my friends..

Dead Show/podcast for 04/03/09

Hello Friends - this week I decided to bring you a historic show - this marked the first time Vince Welnick played with the band. The show itself is quite well-played, the band still had the energy that marked most of the year 1990. While I know Vince isn't everyone's cup of tea, I still think there's plenty to like in this set, and hope you'll enjoy this first set this week, and the second, next week..

This week we have the pleasure of hearing set 2 from September 18th, 1982 at the Boston Garden. The set opens with an inspired 'Samson & Delilah' - followed by a marvelous Uncle John's ->Playin' ..

Dead Show/podcast for 03/20/09

Time for something a little different, here's a show I've wanted to play for some time, a really solid show that features Jerry in fine voice and the band playing tightly.. I especially enjoy the Jack Straw->Sugaree opener and the West LA in the first set, Bobby announces it's Brent's birthday (which its not).. but Brent does close the set with a fine 'Far From Me'....

Please note: I understand that I had a misplaced song in the original podcast - my appologies - if you downloaded the first version you may need to re-download the corrected one..
