The Daily Nugs - May 20, 2024
From Grateful Dead of the Day
With three sets of insanity, the show from this day in 1973 was a monster. There is so much goodness here, but don't miss the Playin', Here Comes Sunshine, and Truckin'> Drums> Other One> Eyes> Stella. Man do we ever love May here at Grateful Dead of the Day! Give a listen to this show and everything else from this fabulous month.
Vince really shines on a beautiful day at Cal Expo, juicing up a Walkin' Blues, lacing in some great runs in Wharf Rat, and jazzing up Around And Around. But everyone is contributing mightily on the hot first set and the dark, foreboding, and oh so powerful Other One out of Space. Check out the joys of this 1992 show at Grateful Dead of the Day.
As a high school freshman, Don Defenderfer caught his first Grateful Dead show on this day in 1973 while visiting his brother at UCSB. Listen to Don talk about this show and his many other incredible experiences with the band beyond description on this episode of the Heads' Tales podcast.
