Dead Show of the Month

DSOTM # 196 - 7/31/82

This months show is a great show from an era many folks just glance over... which is a shame, because the era and this particular show have "the goods"  For halftime "Bob" brought us in some great Weir/Wasserman to enjoy.   I think you will all enjoy this months DSOTM Podcast!

DSOTM # 194 - 11/1/85

This month we travel to parts of the Grateful Dead universe we don't often visit... 1985.   And after prepping this show for you guys perhaps my New Years Resolution will be to listen to more 1985!  I had a great time getting this one ready for ya'll, and that generally leads to you guys having fun too!   Halftime gives us some J.J. Cale from the vault of "Bob".   Good stuff to start this new year!

DSOTM # 193 - 4/16/78

This months show takes us all to the Spring of 1978, and it is a really good show with a fun time vibe.  "Bob" was out of town on some family business, so friend of the podcast "Steve C from DC" calls in to brag about guessing the 3 month run a few months ago...  all of that, and some Zonkey for halftime.   You guys are going to love this episode!

DSOTM # 192 - 10/14/80

This month's podcast takes us all for a deep dive into a cozy theatre right on Market Street:  The Warfield Theatre!  The show this month is a beast of a 3 set show that I do not think gets its just due, so we are solving that this month.  Couple that with the awesome halftime featuring the Jerry Garcia Band, also recorded at the Warfield.  You guys are going to enjoy this one a bunch!

This month we whisk you off to a fantastic, well off the beaten path... by California standards, wall of sound experience.  A great show with a unique and quite amazing second set jam sequence.   "Bob" brought us all some JGB to enjoy at halftime, and I am predicting a good time will be had by all.   Might as well start right now!

DSOTM # 190 - 5/11/77

This month our podcast takes us all back to that glorious Spring of 1977.  There was nary a dull moment during that month, and our show tonight proves that.  It has a little bit of everything.  For half-time, "Bob" brought us all some Kingfish to enjoy.

This months show is Part Two of our deep dive into three shows that have a few things in common.   Hey, we're having fun here!   =)   I hope you enjoy this special night on Bob Weirs 34th Birthday, recorded at his party at the Milky Way.  Really good stuff to be heard there... and halftime gets us some good picking with Big Mon.  Enjoy this one folks, its special.
