From Grateful Dead of the Day
The first Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, a Shakedown opener, and a sweet Lazy River Road enliven this '93 show. But it is the Playin'> Dark Star> Drums> Handsome Cabin Boy Jam> Other One> Days Between that is the tastiest segment of the night. Head on over to Grateful Dead of the Day and give the whole show a listen.
Back in 1970, the Dead participated in a "Philharmonic Rock Marathon" with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra. It must have been one of the more inventive and unusual shows in the long history of the band beyond description. Read all about the night here.
David Crosby and the Grateful Dead jammed together at Ace's Studio on this day back in 1975, preparing for a show that never materialized. Give the entire rehearsal a listen and read a bit more about Crosby's relationship with the boys.
Happy birthday to Ned Lagin, the regular guest or full-time member - depending on your perspective - of the Dead in the first half of the 1970s. To celebrate Ned, read more about his time with and contributions to the Dead at Grateful Dead of the Day.
Happy birthday to Marc Russo as well. Marc is an alto sax player for the Doobie Brothers and Tower of Power. And with the latter, he played with the Dead back in 1982. Read more about Tower of Power and listen to their time as guests with the Grateful Dead.
