The Daily Nugs - June 3, 2025
From Grateful Dead of the Day
With the first show of 1976, the Dead debuted five new tunes, including Lazy Lightning> Supplication, Samson, and the Wheel. They also broke out Dancin' in the Streets after five years, played a fiery late show Help> Slip> Franklin's, and delivered an awesome standalone Scarlet. Listen to all the action from the Paramount Theater in Portland.
On this day in 1995, the Dead played their 38th show at the legendary Bay Area venue, Shoreline Amphitheatre, which Bill Graham had designed to look like the Steal Your Face logo. And the Dead did the venue proud, with a cooking China> Rider, a spacious Playin’> Uncle John’s, a rare Box Of Rain out of Space, and a deeply emotional Stella Blue. Click over and relive the good times out hearing the Dead surrounded by family out in the sun at Shoreline.
This day in '76 was the latest the Dead played their first show of any year. Check out a little analysis of when the band opened each year.
