Dead Show of the Month

DSOTM # 206 - 2/8/86

For the first show of 2024, the first show of 1986 will be the focus of this months podcast... and all the way back in 1986, "Bob" was lucky enough to be in attendance and he has his usual input of days past!  For halftime, the same "Bob" brought in some Billy Strings, some good pickin' on this one.   I hope you all enjoy this as much as we did!

This months show was a big day for "Bob"... it was his future wife Ruth's first show.  The band was up to all kinds of mojo at this summer outdoor show... pure monkey business!   At halftime, "Bob" brought in some Ry Cooder/David Lindley and the whole show is just a gas!

DSOTM # 203 - 11/7/71

This month we journey to the Bay Area for a show in a venue that was, and is, off peoples radar.  The Dead play a great show in this unknown spot... and then never come back.   For halftime, I brought in some "The Doors" for us all to chew on.   A great podcast for a great audience... enjoy!

A lot of fun to be had on this months episode of the podcast!   A show from Spring 1977 that never showed up on my radar...  figures, "Bob" was there.  He brought in some JGB from 1976 for halftime.  Sound like fun?  I thought so!  Enjoy!!

Grabbing this months podcast will whisk you away to the Cow Palace for a NYE show that was really the one that started the tradition of GD performances to end the year.   And this one is no joke, plenty of 1976 'Lazy Electricity' in this one...  enjoy!
