The Daily Nugs - April 24, 2024
From Grateful Dead of the Day
Bobby and Donna were on fire this day back in 1978, elevating the show from Normal, Illinois, into the stratosphere. There is so much to love here, including the Stayin' Alive tease, insane Music Never Stopped, ridiculous Scarlet> Fire, and Werewolves encore. Listen to it all and read about Me and My Uncle at Grateful Dead of the Day.
With the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds flying over Shakedown before the show, the Dead added to the spectacle during the last night of the run at Irvine Meadows on this day back in 1988. The crowd chants for Phil and gets him on Box of Rain, Bobby goes all rock star on LLRain, and the boys finish off the night with a Quinn encore. Listen to the show and read about the El Toro Air Show - and the F/A-18 Hornet crash - that happened on this day.
