Hope you guys and gals are doing well... I just wanted to throw some new/old tunes your way once again. Healing through music! This show showcases the new MIDI technology that the band was really getting into after Jerry brought out the "Wolf" guitar for this tour... along with its new digital pick-up. A very interesting pre-drums jam, as was par for the Fall 1989 Tour. Enjoy!

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!

So... you are sitting inside (hopefully), or out taking a walk (by yourself)... what could be better than some Grateful Dead music? I present to you a flashback to DSOTM # 20, a fine outing for the band with Vince Welnick on his own, perhaps at his first "big" night with him solely in the keyboard spot. Some really nice jams here, I hope you enjoy it!

DSOTM # 59 (Flashback) - 2/17/79

A lot of folks have requested this show, and it sucks to always tell people "We already did that one"... so for those that haven't heard it, here ya go. And those that have heard it, well... enjoy it again!
This month we take you back to the October 2011 Episode of the podcast... this was "Bob's" second appearance on the show, and his tales of the events of 2/17/79 are quite entertaining. This also marked the first time the Dead played at the Oakland Coliseum, and the last time Keith & Donna would be on stage. Bob Marley was the half time show that month.
Tune in at the first of the month for another great show, and while I am sell-distancing I will bring you some other goodies from the vault very, very soon.

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.

The band had its great periods of time, to be sure... and Fall 1973 was certainly one of them. This stellar show is contained on a fantastic recording, always a good combo if you ask me!

This month brings us to the South for some Spring 1978 Tour action. Drums & Space was new to the normal routine, and they clearly are having a lot of fun improvising so much in the middle of the set.

This month the podcast takes us to the Late Summer 1991 Run that had the band playing 6 shows in 7 nights... and they only repeated one song! Amazing. This is the 4th show of that run, and they are obviously trying hard not to repeat anything and came up with some interesting twists. For half-time, "Bob" brought us in some Bob & Rob from 1991. Good stuff. Hope you guys are enjoyin the ride!
