A big happy birthday to Bruce Hornsby. As a "floating member" of the band, he helped energize the Dead in the final years and was always up for pranking Jerry. Read more about Bruce and the jokes he played on Gah-cia and check out some of his best shows at Grateful Dead of the Day.
In their long history, the Dead only played the city of El Paso once. And at that show - on this day in 1973 - Bobby did not pass up the chance to play El Paso, which the crowd met with jubilant cheers. But the lovely playing throughout the evening outshines even that cool moment. In particular, check out the He's Gone> Truckin'> Other One> Me and Bobby McGee. Listen to it all at Grateful Dead of the Day.
