The Daily Nugs - August 14, 2024
From Grateful Dead of the Day
The Dead killed it on this day in 1971, delivering one of the best shows of that great year. The first set is a scorcher, including a fiery Cumberland with relentless energy, hot picking, and Billy's ridiculous drums. But it is the second half that is truly face melting, starting with a short, rocking Truckin' into a mind-altering Other One. Give it all a good listen at Grateful Dead of the Day.
Just eighteen shows into his tenure, Brent delivers his first original song - Easy To Love You - on this night in 1979. But the highlights are elsewhere, in the insane Music Never Stopped, regal Terrapin and mesmerizing jam into the brilliant kaleidoscopic splendor of Playin', and rapturous Stella Blue. Listen to it all and read more.
