    Dead Show/podcast for 6/5/26

    This week's Deadpod comes from a listener request, as we head to Buffalo, New York, and the Grateful Dead's performance at Rich Stadium on June 6, 1992. It's firmly in the early '90s period, with Vince Welnick on keys and the band leaning into a more polished, modern sound while still drawing on their deep songbook. In this first set we get a very '90s opener with "Touch of Grey" into "Greatest Story Ever Told," followed by a focused "Althea" and a lively "It's All Over Now." The mood then shifts into a more acoustic‑flavored stretch with "Friend of the Devil" and "When I Paint My Masterpiece," before the set closes out with a sing‑along "Ramble On Rose" and a "Let It Grow" that brings some welcome late‑set energy and improvisation. This week we'll feature that opening set; we'll return to Buffalo next week for the second set and its high‑energy closing stretch. I hope you enjoy this listener‑selected trip back to June 6, 1992 in Buffalo.

In 2011 it became a hit movie garnering four Oscar nominations and an Oscar win for Octavia Spencer as Best Supporting Actress.

    This week's Deadpod continues our visit to Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York, as we present the second set from May 8, 1981. After last week's well‑played opening set, the band comes out strong here with a big "Shakedown Street" into "Samson and Delilah," then digs deep with "Terrapin Station" flowing into a wide‑open "Playin' in the Band" and on through Drums and Space. Ken Kesey even joins in on harmonica during Space and the "U.S. Blues" encore, adding a unique extra flavor to the proceedings. The home stretch features a fiery "Not Fade Away," a beautiful "Stella Blue," and a rousing "Sugar Magnolia," capped by that "U.S. Blues" encore that feels just right for this time of year.   Grateful Dead Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum Uniondale, NY 5/8/1981 - Friday Two Shakedown Street [16:09] > Samson And Delilah [6:50] ; Terrapin Station[12:28] > Playing In The Band [16:27] > Drums [4:#36] > Space** [6:30] > Not Fade Away [9:17] > Stella Blue [9:24] > Sugar Magnolia [8:58] Encore U.S. Blues** [5:37] Comments **with Ken Kesey on harmonica   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:    https://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod052926.mp3   May this music bring a smile ..

    Dead Show/podcast for 5/22/26

    For this Memorial Day weekend edition of the Deadpod, we're traveling to Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York, for the Grateful Dead's spring tour stop on May 8, 1981. This is early‑'80s Brent Mydland era, and the band sounds sharp and energized: Jerry's in good voice, Brent's keys add color and bounce, and the rhythm section keeps everything moving with plenty of drive and nuance. In this first installment we feature the opening set, a compact but very satisfying run that opens with "Jack Straw" and "Peggy‑O," moves through "Me and My Uncle," "Big River," "Loser," and "Althea," and builds to a strong "Let It Grow" before closing with "Don't Ease Me In." Next week we'll return to Nassau for the second set, highlighted by a big "Shakedown Street" opener, a deep "Terrapin Station" into "Playin' in the Band" sequence, and a powerful closing stretch that feels just right for the start of summer. I hope you enjoy this slice of May 1981 from Nassau.   Grateful Dead Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum Uniondale, NY 5/8/1981 - Friday One Jack Straw [5:38] ; Peggy-O [6:47] ; Me And My Uncle [2:59] > Big River [5:39] ; Loser [8:05] ; C C Rider [7:49] ; Althea [8:43] > Let It Grow[10:27] > Don't Ease Me In [3:12] You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  https://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod052226.mp3 Have a safe and fun Memorial Day weekend.....

    Dead Show/podcast for 5/15/26

    This week on the Deadpod, we travel to Nassau Coliseum on May 14th, 1980, for a second set that finds the Grateful Dead settling confidently into the early Brent Mydland era. The band sounds relaxed yet focused, blending that familiar late‑70s drive with a more expansive, textural approach.   The set opens with the cool, pulsing groove of "Feel Like a Stranger" and flows into a beautifully unhurried "Sugaree," then turns inward with the reflective pairing of "Lost Sailor" and "Saint of Circumstance." From there, the music loosens into space, only to coalesce again around a heartfelt "Comes a Time" and a powerful "Other One" that still crackles with unpredictability.   Things land on more earthbound ground with a tender "Black Peter" and a burst of rock and roll energy to close. It's a spring 1980 Nassau journey that moves like a tide—easy, searching, and full of subtle turns, a fine snapshot of where the band was heading at the dawn of a new decade.   Grateful Dead Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum Uniondale, NY 5/14/1980 - Wednesday Two Feel Like A Stranger [8:03] > Sugaree [11:15] > Lost Sailor [6:18] > Saint Of Circumstance [6:01] > Space [2:50] > Comes A Time [8:24] > The Other One [7:37] > Drums [8:45] > Space [3:11] > Black Peter [9:17] > Around And Around [3:57] > Johnny B.

    Dead Show/podcast for 5/8/26

    The Dead have a long history of great Spring performances, and 1980 was no exception. This week we go to Nassau for the May 14, 1980 show at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York. This was the first night of a three‑show run, with the last two nights later compiled on the 2002 "Go To Nassau" release, leaving this opening show as the odd one out from the official catalog. This show comes shortly after the "Go To Heaven" release, so they open with "Alabama Getaway." Jerry gives us a fine reading of "Candyman," and the arrangements on Weir's "country" tunes—"Mexicali Blues" and "El Paso"—are rockin'. "Tennessee Jed" follows, with Brent providing a lovely counterpoint to Garcia's leads. "Let It Grow" then leads into a still‑new "Althea." Another "Go To Heaven" tune follows, Brent's "Easy to Love You," which leads into a rocking, set‑closing "Music Never Stopped." Let's settle in at Nassau Coliseum, May 14, 1980, on this week's Deadpod.

    Dead Show/podcast for 5/1/26

    This week's Deadpod takes us back to Pasadena, California, and the Rose Palace on May 10, 1969. This is a fierce, high-energy slice of early Dead, complete with a few rough edges from the road. "Hard To Handle" and "Morning Dew" both run into technical trouble, with the band's frustration coming through loud and clear, but the real centerpiece here is the long psychedelic run from "Dark Star" into "Saint Stephen," "The Eleven," and a nearly half-hour "Turn On Your Love Light." It's primal Dead, unpredictable and powerful, with all the danger and electricity of 1969 still crackling through the tape.

    Dead Show/podcast for 4/24/26

    Saturday night in Chi-town brings us a second set that opens with the soon‑to‑be‑released "Touch of Grey," delivered in a tight, confident reading. A funky "Man Smart (Woman Smarter)" follows, with Jerry and Brent locking into some lively interplay that keeps the energy high. "Terrapin Station" then unfolds and the band shows their trademark virtuosity, taking us on a vibrant, narrative‑driven ride. From there they drop into a deep, heavy Drums and Space segment—one of the real highlights of the set—before slamming into a powerful "Truckin'." That sets up the ballad slot, and Jerry turns in an outstanding "Wharf Rat," rich with emotion and dynamic nuance. Bobby then leads the band into "Throwing Stones," complete with some fiery Garcia solos, and "Not Fade Away" closes the set in classic call‑and‑response fashion. The crowd, clearly feeling that extra X‑factor in this post‑drums stretch, keeps the "NFA" chant going until the band returns for a heartfelt and moving "Black Muddy River" encore   Grateful Dead UIC Pavilion - University of Illinois Chicago, IL 4/11/1987 - Saturday Two      Touch Of Grey [6:00] > Man Smart (Woman Smarter) [7:39] > Terrapin Station [11:29] > Drums [7:47] > Space [6:48#] > Truckin' [7:14] > Wharf Rat [8:40] > Throwing Stones [8:48] > Not Fade Away [6:18] Encore      Not Fade Away [ 0:52] > Black Muddy River [6:16]   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  https://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod042426.mp3    "hold onto the memories, they will hold onto you"
