This week I am bringing you the long-delayed but not forgotten second set from February 21st, 1973. This is classic, psychedelic Grateful Dead I think - I especially enjoy that transition into Eyes!! but the entire set finds the band at the top of their game in my opinion.. hope you enjoy it as much as I do..

Show notes

I realize that I've been playing alot of early 70s Dead the last month or so and I plan on changing that up next week, but I just couldn't let that 1st set I played last week from 12/31/72 be orphaned - so I'm putting out the second set this week. Its distinguished not only for the fine ensemble playing characteristic of the time but by the presence of David Crosby on the 'Other One' and 'Morning Dew' - I think you'll be able to hear his playing.. I hope you enjoy this and forgive me for perhaps over-mining this period of GD history - there's of course a ton of other interesting periods to explore and we'll move to another next week...

Dead Show/podcast for 12/31/10 Dec 31, 2010

Show notes

t's not every year that NYE falls on a Friday, so I decided I should take advantage of the occasion to play a NYE show. The Dead were of course famous for their NYE concerts and the radio broadcasts of same that often provided many of us with a joyful experience of the boys we perhaps didn't get to see as often as we would like. I recall several New Years evenings at the radio station listening to the simulcast.. ahhhhh .. I can't claim that I heard this one, but as it marks the transition from one great GD year to another, I decided it would definitely be worth playing.. I really love the energy coming out of the New Year countdown into Around and Around.. the Jack Straw is awesome and I think in general the band is in fine form...

I'm a sucker for these wonderful 73 shows - this one was just recently released and I can't help but want to play for you here on the Deadpod.. while the 1st set is not as spectacular as set 2 (we will hear it soon, promise!), there's simply no excuse not to play every bit of this. I hope you agree!!

Yes its true that I played this week's 2nd set before - but I think its worth the repeat for the chance to savor this second set from November 15th, 1972.. in particular the 30 minute + Playin' in the Band can really carry you off on a wonderful psychic ride.. Enjoy!!!

Show notes

I usually try not to repeat the same year too often on the Deadpod, but I'm making an exception for this tape, which I just recently acquired. This is indeed another show from 1972, but it is so good that I wouldn't think of not sharing it with you.. This week we'll listen to the first set, which features some wonderful clean playing and a real treasure trove of the Dead catalog. I"m particulary fond of the Bird Song, and the Cumberland Blues.. but there is plenty to like in this first set: Grateful Dead - November 15, 1972Oklahoma City Music Hall - Oklahoma City, OKSet 1:BerthaBeat It On Down The LineBird SongJack StrawCandymanBig RiverSugareeEl PasoBox Of RainDealCumberland BluesAround And AroundChina Cat Sunflower ->I Know You Rider

This week's Deadpod, I think, is not to be missed.. not only does it have one of the greatest Dark Stars you'll ever hear, but the transition from Morning Dew back into Playin' *HAS TO BE HEARD* :) , then they play BROKEDOWN PALACE! I highly recommend this one....

Show notes

This week's Deadpod was inspired by someone who actually posted about the show that occurred the night after this one on an internet group I belong to - but it brought this entire run to mind and I really wanted to share *this* night with you - as I find the second set in particular, to be quite extraordinary. This entire 3 show run in fact is quite good, and I enjoy this week's first set very much - in particular an outstanding 'Bird Song' and an exquisite China->;Rider..
