Good morning folks. Whether you are ready to storm into the new week or just want to curl up under the covers, at Grateful Dead of the Day, we are here to help, bringing you the best from the band beyond description...
On the coldest day of 1978 in Iowa, the boys brought the heat to the UNI Dome. After his mic malfunctions, Jerry lights off on a sweltering jam in the midst of Samson. Then the band fires up what some consider to be the best Scarlet> Fire ever, and who are we to argue. The second set continues to smoke as the Dead play Truckin'> Drums> Other One> Wharf Rat before closing it out with a steamy Around and Around. Give the entire show a listen at Grateful Dead of the Day.
On this day. the Grateful Dead opened their 1989 campaign on what had become home turf of sorts, the Kaiser Convention Center. The boys debut Standing On The Moon and We Can Run, deliver a high energy Stranger> Franklin's Tower, a euphoric Man Smart Woman Smarter, and a stellar Morning Dew, to name just a few of the early year treats. Check the show out at Grateful Dead of the Day.
As you can see above, the Dead played their first show of the year on this date in 1989. At Graetful Dead of the Day, we have put together a rundown of all the Dead's inaugural shows of the year, from 1966 through to '95. Take a look at this post, and you might learn a bit about how the band opened up each new circle around the sun; you will definitely find some sweet shows to listen to.
