The Daily Nugs - June 9, 2025
From Grateful Dead of the Day
The Dead's last show of Spring '77 was, like the entire tour, one for the ages. And the second set is the centerpiece of it, with a monster Help> Slip> Franklin's and an otherworldy Stephen> NFA> Drums> Stephen bracketed by a powerful Estimated and lovely Terrapin. This is one of the finest nights of ’77 and, really, the band's entire thirty-year run. Sit back and listen to it all at Grateful Dead of the Day.
On this day in 1984, the boys stormed into California’s capital and delivered a superb night of music, starting with a bouncy Iko to get everyone up and dancing. A blazing Deal, exuberant Sugar Mags, and poignant Black Peter are all highlights, but the crux is the Playin'> China Doll> Playin' replete with Brent's keys, Phil's meaty bombs, and Jerry's exquisite guitar. Give the entire show a listen.
