A really fun trip to July 13, 1984 at the Greek. It was a full moon, as well as a Friday The 13th... and there was a shooting star prior to the encore, which is a doozy. For our Half-time show we have some Van Halen from the Fall of 1982, a tribute to the late great Eddie Van Halen. We hope you all have a great and safe Holiday season... stay warm and don't get cooties.

As promised last month, we continue our journey deep into 1990. This show, 20 shows in with this line-up (last month was 20 shows until the end of that line-up) finds the band in "swinging for the fences" form. An amazing outdoor afternoon concert in the desert. Halftime brings us some JGB from the same time period... really good stuff this month!

This months show comes to us from Brent Mydland's last tour of the West Coast. A great show and a great sounding recording... this show will tie in with next months show perfectly, a book end. For half-time we have String Cheese at High Sierra Music Festival. I love 1990 Dead, and I am pretty sure you guys will love this!

This months show is one big, long, superbly well-played set. Amazing stuff. I am not sure how they kept that much energy going for such a long stretch, I guess thats the wonder of youth. Since it is only one set, there is no halftime, but we spend some time after the show answering your mail. A lot of fun.... enjoy the ride!

This months show is an amazing outing, one that I think will help you turn on that person who is on the fence and get them on the bus. Great songwriting, cohesive playing, an amazing recording and shorter yet effective jamming. For half-time we have the David Nelson Band playing some Robert Hunter songs you probably have not heard... as you would expect, they are great songs!

This month we journey back once again to May 1977. Pretty much every show in the whole month is amazing, and this one certainly holds a special blend of magic in it. Myself and "Bob" have our normal conversations in an abnormal manner: over the phone! And for half time, some fantastic Linda Ronstadt. I hope you enjoy the show!

This months podcast comes to us from New England during the Fall 1983 Tour. Nineteen Eighty Th-roar is some folks favorite era of the band, and when you find a good show it is easy to see why. This months show is a very good representation of what the band could do during this time period. Cousin Darren from Scottsdale suggested this show, and once I gave it a listen we both decided it would require some deeper vetting... and once we did so, it was an obvious pick to share with you guys out there. Cousin Darren sits in with us for this episode. For our half-time show, "Bob" brought us some really fun JGB from the same era. Good stuff here ladies and gents... Enjoy. Share. Smile.

This months podcast comes to us from Keith's 2nd show in the band... and he was already clearly having an impact, and probably a lot of fun. For halftime we get a bunch of bluegrass from the Hart Valley Drifters featuring Jerry Garcia on banjo... a ton of fun! Tons of good times around the bend!
