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..

This week we have the pleasure of listening to the 2nd, electric set of this wonderful show from July 14th, 1970 at the Euphoria Ballroom in San Rafael CA.

Despite a few flaws (amazingly few I think for a show that happened over 38 years ago :) I think you'll enjoy this fine set. I always treasure a good 'Easy Wind' and the Cryptical->Other One->Cryptical is wild, young Dead at its best..then we get a Cosmic Charlie!

On a personal note, this marks the last Deadpod to come to you from my home for the last 28 years, Columbia Missouri. I am relocating to Lansing Michigan this week, and so there may be a week or two sabbatical as I try to get oriented to my new surroundings. This means saying good-bye to my good friends at KOPN, 89.5 FM. While I have some hopes of continuing our relationship, I want everyone there to know how much I love them and thank them for all their support over the years!
I do hope to continue broadcasting the Deadpod from Michigan, thanks to the kind support of my wonderful listeners.. thanks so much!

Dead Show/podcast for 1/9/09

Hello Friends!
This week we have the pleasure of listening to a newly released version of a classic 1970 Dead show - this one is from the Euphoria Ballroom, San Rafael CA, 7/14/70..
We'll listen to the first set this week, then the 'electric' set next week....
note that the last two songs in this set, New Speedway Boogie and Cumberland Blues, supposedly feature David Crosby on 12 string.. also note that the first song, Don't Ease Me In, is from an audience source with degraded sound.. sorry, but felt it was best to leave it in..

Dead Show/podcast for 1/2/09

Happy New Year everyone!
This week I'll bring you the second set from December 30th 1990 at Oakland CA.
A great set list, and if you like shows with Bruce Hornsby sitting in I think you'll find this to be a good one. A really nice example of one of the more high energy shows of a generally well played year.

Please Note: I've uploaded a corrected version of this set - I mistakenly omitted the Playin' In the Band - it should now be corrected - my appologies!

I do hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! The band often played very good runs up to the famous New Year's Eve shows - often these shows would be better than the NYE show itself. This week I decided to bring you one of these 'NYE' run shows, this one from 1990. Bruce Hornsby is with the band and does a wonderful Valley Road to end this first set. I'll bring you the second set next week - I hope you enjoy it..

I can't believe how fast the year is flying by! Almost over, and this week I'm bringing you a show requested by one of my listeners - this one sounds great this holiday season - its Jerry Garcia, John Kahn, Bill Kruetzman and Merl Saunders at Pacific High Studios on February 2, 1972.
This is probably an FM source and so its a little compressed - but the music makes up for it.. check out the fine instrumental version of 'Imagine'..
Hope you enjoy it, and that you can find the time for all the things that you love this Holiday season..
