The Daily Nugs - June 25, 2024
From Grateful Dead of the Day
A rare Day Tripper opens the action in 1985, but it is the second set that really makes this show memorable. Check out the China> Rider into a deep and trippy Playin', the monster session by the rhythm devils, and a top-shelf China Doll as well as a sweet Wheel in that latter half. Give it all a listen at Grateful Dead of the Day.
The Grateful Dead were cooking during summer tour 1991 as Bruce heated things up and the band fired on all cylinders. That is absolutely the case on this second night at Bonner Springs, where the boys opened with a high octane Jack Straw> Sugaree, delivered an inventive 30+ minute Scarlet> Fire, and brought Comes A Time out of Space. Listen to it all at Grateful Dead of the Day.
At Buckeye Lake on this day in 1988, Bruce Hornsby joined the Dead on stage for the first of what would be 116 shows. Read more about Bruce and his history with the band and listen to some of his best shows at Grateful Dead of the Day.
Ken Babbs, psychedelic provocateur and Merry Prankster extraordinaire, joined the Dead on stage on this day in 1978. Listen to the show and read more about Ken Babbs's history with the Grateful Dead.
