Dead Show/podcast for 12/20/24

Here's a bit of a Christmas present from the Deadpod - a great second set from December 12, 1973 at the Omni in Atlanta. This features a fine combination of classic tunes and some unusual combos (see Mississipi Half-Step into Me & Bobby McGee, as well as Wharf Rat> Me & My Uncle>Eyes). All the songs here are first rate - the China >Rider is wonderful as is the GSET.. then we get a complete Weather Report Suite..Eyes of the World into Morning Dew is one for the ages.. Then, after this massive set, I've included the soundcheck for this show, which has some really fun versions and even some Holiday sounds! I hope you enjoy!

Dead Show/podcast for 12/13/24

This week's Deadpod takes us down south to Atlanta Georgia, where the Dead played the first of 36 shows at the Omni back on December 12, 1973. This long and very tasty first set features many of the classics, all played quite well. It features only the second time that 'Peggy-O' was played, great sound throughout, and a very long and spacey 'Playin' In the Band' to end this first set. Next week we'll play both set 2 and the soundchecks which are amazing in themselves..

Dead Show/podcast for 12/6/24

We welcome December this week by returning to the second set of the band's performance at the Golden Hall in San Diego on November 24, 1979. This set has an upbeat beginning with 'Alabama Getaway' going into a classic 'Greatest Story Every Told' - listen for Phil in that wild transition. 'Ship of Fools' follows, with Jerry giving us a find rendition complete with some extended soloing where it doesn't usually occur. 'Terrapin Station' follows, leading into a long and interesting 'Playin In the Band '. Drums goes into a short Space, then we're treated to 'Sailor>Saint', followed by a fine 'Wharf Rat'. The boys then rock it up with a good 'Sugar Magnolia' and the obligatory 'One More Saturday Night' encore. Grateful Dead Golden Hall - San Diego Community Concourse San Diego, CA 11/24/1979 - Saturday Two Alabama Getaway [7:22] > Greatest Story Ever Told [5:07] Ship Of Fools [9:55] Terrapin Station [12:20] > Playing In The Band [14:23] > Drums > Space [1:47] > Lost Sailor [6:10] > Saint Of Circumstance [5:27] > Wharf Rat [9:27] > Sugar Magnolia [8:06] Encore One More Saturday Night [4:46] You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod120624.mp3 Hope this finds you warm and dry!

Happy Thanksgiving As is the custom here on the Deadpod, this Thanksgiving we feature an acoustic set and I think we are especially fortunate this year as this set is one of the very best such sets from 1970. From September 20, 1970 this set from the Fillmore East features both David Grisman and David Nelson on mandolin for much of the set, including a very unusual 'Big Railroad Blues' and an acoustic 'Truckin'. Jerry is in particular fine voice throughout, especially on 'To Lay Me Down'. If you are a fan of acoustic Dead this is a set to savor .. I hope you enjoy..

Dead Show/podcast for 11/22/24

This week's Deadpod takes us back to the Fall tour of 1979 - this time at San Diego for the Saturday night show that took place on November 24. This first set opens with a rare and refreshing 'China Cat>I Know You Rider'. Love hearing this as an opener and I think it sets a nice atmosphere for the show. Cowboy songs come next then a really nice 'Peggy-O' and 'Cassidy' which are both highlights of this set. A youthful sounding Brent gives us a nice 'Easy To Love You' which goes into a longer 'Althea'. They close things with 'Passenger'.

Dead Show/podcast for 11/15/24

Here's a fun second set from November 1985 for this week's Deadpod. 'Touch of Grey' into 'Samson' starts things off with some nice Jerry solos in Samson... The 'High Time' that follows makes up for the flubbed ending on Samson with some excellent Jerry vocals. 'Let It Grow' is probably the highlight of the pre-drums segment however, with some excellent improvisational jamming. That spirit is carried through on the Drums and Space. 'Gimme Some Lovin' coming out of space is fun and leads into a sweet 'Stella Blue'. The remainder features some sharp rockin' and concludes with a fun 'In the Midnight Hour' encore. Grateful Dead Community War Memorial Auditorium Rochester, NY 11/7/1985 - Thursday Two Touch Of Grey > Samson And Delilah High Time Let It Grow > Drums > Space > Gimme Some Lovin' > Stella Blue > Throwing Stones > Not Fade Away Encore In The Midnight Hour You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod111524.mp3 I hope you enjoy the set.. and thanks for your kind support!

Dead Show/podcast for 11/8/24

This week we have one of the finest shows from the Fall tour of 1985. This comes to us from Rochester New York on November 7, 1985. The opening 'Dancing In the Street' is strong and cohesive - we can tell we are in for a special night. The 'Dire Wolf' presents Jerry in fine voice. While Bobby is a bit cheesy on 'CC Rider' the 'Loser' that follows is excellent. The country 'Mama Tried'>'Mexicalli Blues' is a great lead in to a rockin' 'Cumberland Blues'. While 'Beat it On Down the Line' is also tight and well-played, the set closing 'Deal' is a tad fast, but still always a nice set closer..

With the passing of Phil Lesh I decided to bring you a complete Phil & Friends show from the last time I was lucky enough to see him - March 12, 2023 in Chicago. I really enjoyed the show and hope you dig it. Words can't express what the man meant to the Dead or the scene. We were lucky to have been able to be in his presence from time to time. I know this makes a longer Deadpod than usual, hope it doesn't mess anything up for you.
