a weekly hour of the best live Grateful Dead music

The Deadpod

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..
 
Enjoy

Dead Show/podcast for 12/13/24

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!

Happy New Year!
 
... but this NYE set by the Dead should put you in the mood to say goodbye to 2024 and to ring in a brand new 2025...
 
This show occurred at an important turning point for the Dead, as they moved forward with many 'new' tunes and with Keith and Donna as members of the band (Donna makes her vocal debut here on 'One More Saturday Night').
 
The sound on this FM broadcast is generally very good and the band is tight. The boys play here with a great youthful enthusiasm.. They open with 'Dancin' In the Streets' which they wouldn't play again until June of 76.. This is a long and fun first set, clocking in at over 90 minutes.. Pig has some great moments here - Mr. Charlie, Chinatown Shuffle and Next Time You See Me are great.. 
 
All in all a great first set, we'll hear set 2 next week..

Dead Show/podcast for 12/27/24

On this first Friday of 2025, we continue with the conclusion of the Grateful Dead's New Year's Eve concert from December 31, 1971 at Winterland in San Francisco. 
 
A long, fun if somewhat sloppy at times show, the enjoyment the band was having is evident throughout.. After a Bill Graham intro they go into Truckin' then Billy really goes off as they go into a Other One jam, then quite interestingly enough into Me & My Uncle before going back into The Other One.. Some other highlights here include the first ever version of Big River, and the last Pigpen version of 'The Same Thing' which the band would not bring back for 20 years... There is some great high energy jamming in the 2nd half of the set, which apparently went on until 3:45 AM.

Dead Show/podcast for 1/3/25

This week's Deadpod features one of the January shows in the Grateful Dead's history - this one from January 18, 1979 in Providence, Rhode Island.
 
This is a nice first set, energetic, especially for the time period (in a month Keith Godchaux would be leaving), and features some nice versions. I am especially fond of the 'Cassidy' here but there are several excellent tunes in this first set.

Dead Show/podcast for 1/10/25

This week's Deadpod features the second set from January 18, 1979 at Providence Rhode Island. 
 
This is a rather unique second set as there is no drums/space segment here, unique since the band started introducing them as a matter of course back in the spring of 1978. It would be the last show without one for a long time. It's a solid show, in my opinion, the highlight being a raucous 'Trucking' that even includes Phil singing, and a solid 'Other One'. 
 
Hope you enjoy it..

This week's Deadpod features a great audience recording of a fabulous show by the late Jerry Moore..this is from January 20, 1979 at Shea's Theater in Buffalo New York. 
 
I think this is a great first set... all of these are performed so very well. I especially love the tone of Garcia's work on 'Sugaree' and 'It's All Over Now'.. at times the vocals are a little low in the mix, but in the words of Mickey Hart - turn it up! :) The rest of this set is nothing to sneeze at either, especially the smoking hot 'Jack Straw' to close it out.. 
 
One note .. apparently the show started some 2 hours late ;)

This week we continue with the second set from the band's performance at Shea's Theater in Buffalo, NY on January 20, 1979.
 
This set picks up steam just before drums with a powerful 'Other One' which gets picked up again after drums and space and leads into a rare (for the period) 'Dark Star' which has some wild explorations. The band rocks it out afterwards with a 'Not Fade Away' into 'Sugar Magnolia'. 
 
 
 
 No Donna at this show.

This week's Deadpod again features an audience recording - this time of the performance on February 19, 1982 in San Diego California.
 
This, the third performance of 1982 finds the boys finding their groove, with a hot opening 'Bertha', a great 'Dire Wolf' and of course 'Althea'. While the vocals are sometimes a little far back on this audience recording, you can't say the same for Garcia's guitar -it is outfront and I really enjoyed hearing him on this tape - I hope you enjoy it as well!

Dead Show/podcast for 2/7/25

Happy Valentine's Everyone! 
 
This week on the Deadpod we conclude the band's performance from February 19, 1982 in San Diego CA. 
 
Again, this comes from an audience tape so while the fidelity isn't quite up to soundboard levels, it does give you a great sense of being there.. 
 
The pre-drums portion of the set is well played, with the highlight being a sweet Lost Sailor>Saint of Circumstance. The killer portion of this set comes as Drums ends, the band goes into a great Other One -- Phil really seems to be enjoying this one as he leads the charge throughout.. A sweet Stella Blue follows then an unusual ending as instead of Around and Around we get Man Smart, Woman Smarter into Johnny B. Goode not as the encore but as the set closer. The US Blues encore is a snappy ending to the enening..
