Dead Show of the Month

DSOTM # 167 - 12/9/90

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!

DSOTM # 166 - 6/8/90

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 episode is dedicated to James Saraniecki, a long time friend and OG "Chino Head"... gone way too soon, and suffering no longer

DSOTM # 165 - 4/26/69

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!

DSOTM # 164 - 7/7/78

As always, here we are with another amazing musical journey with the Grateful Dead (& Friends).   This months show is the Dead's first show at Red Rocks, and I think they deliver just fine.  For halftime we have some great solo Rick Danko with his toned down interpretations of his material with The Band.  Always good stuff coming your way... enjoy the ride!

DSOTM # 40 (Flashback) - 11/10/73

An epic all-time great Dead show for your Flashbacking pleasure!   You guys will really dig this one, its almost impossible not to.  For halftime we have some McCoy Tyner, who recently left us.   This might be the last Flashback for a while... I have been back to working in the office full time, but we are thinking about you guys and hoping you're enjoying the ride!

DSOTM # 163 - 5/16/72

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!

DSOTM # 42 (Flashback) - 7/22/84

Yet another Podcast from a show that "Bob" attended... right in the heart of Eighty-Throar.  An interesting trip out to the coast with the good old Grateful Dead.  For halftime we have some really good David Grisman Quintet to suit your bluegrass and jazz needs all at once.  Hope you guys are doing well... or at least as well as can be.

DSOTM # 8 (Flashback) - 7/18/76

All the way back in 2007 I knew this show smoked heavily... but my FM copy was almost too bad to put out there, I did anyway.  Flash forward to now, I am able to Flashback to this show with a much better copy of the recording.  A great show with a bunch of "goes-intah's" in there.   For half-time, we have some great Bob Dylan studio out-takes for you all to enjoy.

DSOTM # 162 - 9/9/88

This months podcast comes to you from "just another night..." on the Fall 1988 Tour.   A solid show from start to end, with some cool rare stuff as well.   "Bob" brings us some Steely Dan for halftime and its a whole lotta fun.  Enjoy the Ride ladies and gents, we are almost there.

DSOTM # 37 (Flashback) - 8/10/82

This Flashback to Episode 37 goes out to my good friend Steve from Long Beach, CA... this was his first show, and hes been on the bus ever since.  "Bob" returns on this one (over the phone) and brings with him some tasty halftime music.   Enjoy the ride!
