A Playin' in the Band mind-melt opens this epic show...Doug Schmell joins us again for some enthusiastic commentary. A huge night for Pig Pen, and possibly the greatest Dark Star of them all followed by a blockbuster Sugar Mag...After we run through the monster second set, Doug and I rank the five best shows of Europe 72...Enjoy!

A legendary four night run with Miles Davis opening up for the Grateful Dead in the Fillmore West. Thank you Bill Graham. The Miles show on 4-10-70 was recorded and released as a double album, Black Beauty. The April 12 Dead show features a batch of new tunes as well as monster versions of Dancin in the Street, Good Morning Little Schoolgirl, and Viola Lee Blues.

High times with the Dead on April 20 1983 in Providence, and April 20 1984 in Philadelphia. Two of the best shows of the decade. Awesome performances of Let it Grow, Scarlet Fire, Estimated Eyes, Morning Dews, etc....

A pair of tremendous April 14 shows separated by ten years. Doug Schmell is back on the podcast to recall memories of being tenth row in Glenn's Falls, and to heap praise on the Dead's awesome 1972 performance for Copenhagen. Awesome musical highlights and spirited discussion. Enjoy!

Live from Beale Street, Memphis,,,A life changing show in Philly....Cold Rain & Snow for those traveling through treacherous weather,...The only time the Grateful Dead played Shakedown, Terrapin, Morning Dew, and Sugar Mag in the same show.

All-time great Straw--Sugaree opener...Garcia's Theory of Relativity...Grant Green...blazing first set...strange synthesized noises...dancing, singing, and celebration in the streets of Springfield.

The completed Wall of Sound debut, as well as debut versions of Scarlet Begonias and Cassidy. Final performance of Playin' UJB Morning Dew UJB Playin....Unique version of a 77 Sugaree, first Scarlet Fire, and first excess Terrapin Station jamming....two historic shows

My first Dead show, 3-9-81...Sensational versions of Stranger, Althea, Ramble on Rose, Cat > Rider and more. These nights in Madison Square Garden feature some of the most unique playing of teh Grateful dead's career.
