The Daily Nugs - April 14, 2025
From Grateful Dead of the Day
In their first show on the continent during Europe '72, the Dead crushed it. The entire night was incredible, but do not miss the insanity of the Dark Star> Sugar Mags> Good Lovin'> Caution> Who Do You Love> Caution> Good Lovin'. Pig is a beast, dishing out some insane rapping, and Jerry is as beatific and sublime as ever. Listen to the entire night at Grateful Dead of the Day.
The spring '71 tour was something special. And this night from Bucknell University is no different. The centerpiece of it all is a seething Other One suite that gets more than a few rural Pennsylvanians and undergrads on the bus. But the night is awash in magic, from the opening Truckin' to the China> Rider to the early Birdsong and Wharf Rat. Don't miss this '71 masterpiece; give it all a listen.
Happy birthday to Greg Adams, trumpet player for Tower of Power. Read more about Tower of Power and listen to their time as guests with the Grateful Dead.
