Happy Halloween!! In honor of the fact that this week's Deadpod falls on Halloween, I decided to go back and find an appropriate show that the band played on this date... I think this one from 1969 is certainly worthy of a listen.. The show starts out with a truly nasty recording of Casey Jones - I left it in for the sake of completeness, but I hope you will stick with it as the recording greatly improves after that. There is a fair bit of hiss throughout but nevertheless this is a wonderful artifact of the young Grateful Dead.. The Cryptical>Drums>OtherOne>Cryptical has a wild drum segment that is great fun, and the China>Rider has a very nice transition jam between them. The second set highlights include a Pigpen taking over at the end here, with the last three songs showcasing his blues delivery. 'Easy Wind' was still relatively new - this is the 7th time played, and the tape ends with a massive 30+minute Lovelight ;) Grateful Dead 10/31/69 San Jose State University San Jose, CA One: Casey Jones Yellow Dog Story Dire Wolf It Hurts Me Too Cryptical Envelopment> Drums> The Other One> Cryptical Envelopment> 2 China Cat Sunflower> Jam> I Know You Rider Two: High Time Sittin' On Top Of The World Next Time You See Me> Easy Wind Turn On Your Lovelight COMMENTS Casey Jones cuts in just after the first notes of the tune. Lovelight cuts off during the final flourishes. DeadBase IX lists a Mama Tried after I Know You Rider.

Dead Show/podcast for 10/24/25
We continue with the second set from the Grateful Dead's performance at the Moody Coliseum in Dallas Texas back on Saturday, October 15, 1977. The 'Samson and Delilah' opener is a great start to a fine set.. Donna follows with a nice version of 'Sunrise'. The 'Terrapin Station' that follows is not as monumental in its buildup as some but is a fine delivery by Garcia. The meat of this set comes with a very nice 'Saint Stephen' into 'Not Fade Away' into a sweet 'Stella Blue'.. the band then rolls into a rockin' 'Sugar Magnolia' to close the second set. They return for a double encore, with 'Truckin' leading into the obligatory, but rockin' 'One More Saturday Night'.. Grateful Dead Moody Coliseum - Southern Methodist University Dallas, TX 10/15/1977 - Saturday Two Samson And Delilah [7:02] ; Sunrise [3:41] ; Terrapin Station [11:03] > Saint Stephen [8:19] > Not Fade Away [10:42] > Stella Blue [9:17] > Sugar Magnolia [11:07] Encore Truckin' [8:09] > One More Saturday Night [4:53] You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod102425.mp3 Thanks so much for your kind support!

Dead Show/podcast for 10/17/25
This week we join the Dead as they play the last show of a 3 show run in Texas during October 1977. This one takes place on the campus of SMU in Dallas Texas on October 15. The first set opens with a spirited 'Bertha' into 'Good Lovin'. They move into a more laid back mood with 'They Love Each Other' then the 'Mama Tried' into 'Big River' ramps things bck up. A nice 'Ramble on Rose' is marred here with a nasty cut..sorry about that. The 'Peggy O' that follows 'Looks Like Rain' has some very nice vocals, and the set-closing 'Let It Grow' has some nice jamming to close the set. Grateful Dead Moody Coliseum - Southern Methodist University Dallas, TX 10/15/1977 - Saturday One Bertha--> (7:19) Good Lovin' (7:55) They Love Each Other (8:32) Mama Tried--> (2:34) Big River (6:05) Ramble On Rose// (6:00) Looks Like Rain (9:17) Peggy-O (7:36) Let It Grow (11:27) You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod101725.mp3 I hope you enjoy the show.. btw - if you are on facebook you can join our discussion there at: the Deadpod group.

Dead Show/podcast for 10/10/25
http://deadshow.blogspot.com This week here on the Deadpod is a fine second set from the band's show over in London England on October 4, 1981. I'm sure you'll agree that this is a fine performance by the boys.. Some of the highlights are a smokin' Samson and Delilah, the jam between Scarlet and Fire, and an interesting 'Lost Sailor'. Drums is notable for the 'Spanish Jam' leading into a fine 'Other One'. All this is captured in a fine recording..

Dead Show/podcast for 10/3/25
This week the Deadpod travels to London England, to the Rainbow Theater, where the band played eight wonderful shows during 1981. This was the next to last performance at the Rainbow, on October 4, 1981. This recording really highlights Brent and Garcia.. its a bright and open recording I think you'll enjoy. Some of the highlights are the Jack-A-Roe, Beat It On Down the Line, and Brown Eyed Women that come in the middle of the set, but there are really no clunkers here in my opinion. The set closing Deal is a smoker as always...
