The Daily Nugs - April 11, 2024
From Grateful Dead of the Day
In what might very well have been the highlight of the '72 European tour, the Dead stormed into the formidable Newcastle City Hall - a venue with "all the warmth of a witch's teat" - and made it burn red hot with an 18-song first set and a monster second, which included a massive Good Lovin', 20-minute Truckin', and half-hour Other One. Listen to the entire amazing performance at Grateful Dead of the Day.
Brightening up a dark and rainy day and making up for the heavy police presence, the Dead played a rocking show on this date in '87. On what was the last evening of a three-night run at the intimate UIC Pavilion, the boys delivered a tasty Desolation Row, haunting Terrapin, and classic late 80s Truckin'> Wharf Rat> Throwing Stones> NFA out of Space. Give the entire show a listen.
