The Daily Nugs - May 26, 2025
From Grateful Dead of the Day
The Dead put up a monster 31-song, 3-set, 4-hour plus show at Kezar Stadium on this day back in 1973. The band was relentless, charging forth on song after song. The whole epic night is a highlight, but don't miss the third-set climax, beginning with one of the best versions of He's Gone ever, heading through The Other One and Eyes, and then emerging with China Doll before concluding with a joyous Sugar Mags. Listen to the entire amazing show at Grateful Dead of the Day.
The Dead put up a 19 song, 2+ hour first set to start off the final show of Europe '72. And there is nothing but top-notch performances, including Pig's last Two Souls in Communion. But, still, the Truckin'> Other One> Dew> Other One> Sing Me Back Home in the second half might just be the definitive moment of the entire tour. Don't miss any of it; give it a listen.
Just six days after his first show, Don caught his second at Kezar on this day in 1973. Hear Don's stories of life with the Dead on this episode of the Heads' Tales podcast.
