Ahhh... summer's here for sure and as we head out of June and on to the 4th of July my mind couldn't help but be led back to that one-of-a-kind summer tour of 1985.. this week we'll sample one of those shows from that tour, this one from Saratoga Springs, NY, that took place on June 27th, 1985. As always on this tour a very innovative setlist, highlighted for me with a *great* Stagger Lee (not a tune I would often enjoy), a first set Crazy Fingers(!)into Supplication, High TIme (we have been hearing alot of these on the Deadpod lately haven't we?) and a nicely done Hell in a Bucket. It's a fun show, and I hope you enjoy it my friends.. set 2 next week.. 6/27/85 - Grateful Dead Saratoga Performing Arts Center

My mind was moved to her yesterday when someone asked my favorite "Summertime" songs - of course I thought of the one and only Janis. I get requests for this show from time to time, I did broadcast part of this back in April of '06 but that Deadpod no longer exists on the archive, so I felt it was high time to bring it out again. Pigpen and Janis on Lovelight would be enough, but there are some other killer songs on this tape - Attics for one.. Of course this is surely not the entire show, and it does cut in on the China Cat.. still listen to Jerry and Bob on Not Fade Away, and that sublime Uncle John's to end this..... and think back to a summer long ago when the world was young......

This week's second set from June 14th, 1976 is in my opinion, simply outstanding. The songs are all strong and well played. Great set list, the High Time and Music Never Stopped are very good, but from Crazy Fingers on its flat-out cranked. Dancin' is wonderful, but the 14 minute Slipknot is spine tingling. Hope you aren't wore out on mid 70s Dead because this is a helluva show. I hope you enjoy it..

A nice contrast to last week's show from '77, this show comes to us from just one year earlier, June 14th, 1976 at the Beacon in New York. A very different, more jazzy and relaxed style for sure... but I find it quite enjoyable. This one is a Betty board too so that is always very nice to hear. I removed a few of the long tunings between songs - they were sometimes a bit too relaxed ;)My personal favorites in this first set are the (new) Lazy Lightning->Supplication as well as the very nice Playin' In The Band.. Next week - set 2..

Show notes

A perfect way to see in the lovely month of June, this week's second set from the Baltimore Civic Arena, May 26th, 1977, is as fine a set of Grateful Dead music as one could hope to hear. Perhaps not an alltime 'classic' but certainly a wonderful companion to any worth while activity you could hope to accomplish in this wonderful season. This set features a lovely 'High Time' - one of my favorites, as well as a Terrapin->Estimated->Eyes combo that is played wonderfully. Not Fade Away is often taken for granted..I recommend you listen to this one, and harken back, if you were so lucky to the times you were able to watch them standing in those circles of light serenading us with this wonderful rocker... The Uncle John's Band encore is of course, just exactly perfect. I trust you use this good music as a salve for your heart.. it does mine good.

I know my prejudices are fairly obvious - do I love 1977 Dead shows? Guilty.. I can't seem to go through the month of May without featuring one of these gems and I decided I didn't want to spoil that record this year.. thus this week's show. This is a gem, pure and simple. Beautiful recording, beautiful playing. Check out Jerry on Sugaree, and Donna on Sunrise. Passenger, one of my favorites of this era is a swirling whirlwind of color and sound.. Jack-A-Roe is pretty.. enjoy this.. have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend and I hope this music helps lubricate it all..

Show notes

This week we get to listen to set 2 of the Dead's show in the Vegas desert from May 16th, 1993. All in all, a pretty darn good set, the Help->Slip->Frank features some nice improvisations by Vince. I'm a fan of Terrapin and this one does not disappoint, Jerry is in it.. The Other One and Wharf Rat are first rate, and the Throwin Stones goes into a Lovelight instead of the increasingly usual Not Fade Away.. Brokedown is always a nice way to leave a show..

Hope you enjoy this one my friends..

Show notes

This week's show, a listener request, was probably the best of the three day run in Vegas during May of '93. Garcia is fully involved and his work during Althea steps up this first set to be top rate. I really enjoy the reggae-like work on Row Jimmy as well. Cassidy is very well done and closes the set. Regrettably its a very short first set so I included the opening Samson from set 2 in this week's show. I'll play the rest of set 2, in pure soundboard form, next week. This week's first set comes from the last of Dan Healy's 'FM Master' feeds...

Show notes

This week - the 2nd set of this incredible show from 1974 - 5/19/74 from Portland Oregon. There are so many highlights here its impossible to list them all, The Greatest Story is one of the all-time bests, ditto for the Weather Report into a wondefully Garica-jammed Wharf Rat. The Peggy-O is beautiful.. but the Phil-led Truckin' through Goin' Down the Road Feelin'Bad is simply magnificant. I love love love the mind left body jam.. This is definitely a time-machine kind of show (meaning I wish I could go back and see it! ) Hope you enjoy it just as much as I do.. Grateful Dead - May 19, 1974 Portland Coliseum - Portland, OR Set 2: Tuning Promised Land -> Bertha -> Greatest Story Ever Told Ship Of Fools Weather Report Suite -> Wharf Rat Big River Peggy-O Tico Tico Truckin' -> Mind Left Body Jam -> Not Fade Away -> Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad One More Saturday Night Encore: U.S. Blues Thanks to everyone who donated or inquired into the Europe '72 cd's - wish I had more of them!

Show notes

This week's Deadpod came about, as they often do, due to several synchronistic events, a listener request, the immanent release of Dave's Picks Vol 2, and of course my own partiality for shows of this era. This week's show comes from the City of Roses, Portland Oregon and took place on May 19th, 1974. One of the early wall of sound shows, I think this is a wonderful representation of the band at this time of their history. This first set features some great Garcia riffs on these first set classic songs, as well as a very rare 'Money Money' (one of only three times they played the tune. The highlight for me of this set comes with the closing China->Rider. Listen to Kreutzmann's drumming especially on this transition.. its really wonderful.

I happened to receive 3 complete copies of Europe '72 - both the remastered 3 cd original release (with 7 bonus songs) and the newly released Europe '72 vol 2 CD . I'd like to offer the complete package to anyone who'd like to donate $50 or more to the Deadpod. If you aren't interested in both, just drop me an email and if I still have them I'd be happy to work something out. I'm hoping they might raise a little money for the Deadpod. Thanks!
